#427 - Chapter 426 Purple Air Coming from the East
“Let's talk about intelligence later. Come on, give me a back massage.”
Qi Jing had long wanted some servants who would work without complaint.
Everyone watched as one Qi Jing expressionlessly massaged the back of another Qi Jing, and something felt off.
“Why don't you put masks on these clones?”
Hearing Tan Zuoyin's suggestion, Qi Jing pondered for a moment.
Having someone who looks exactly like him acting as a servant seemed to degrade his own status.
Even if they're serving him, aren't they still servants?
No, they need to wear masks! They absolutely have to wear masks! Otherwise, if people see them staring at his face while pouring tea and water for others, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
It's decided!
Since these clones wear his clothes without special abilities when using the Careful Clone technique, he'll wear a mask every time he summons them. This will not only save face but also add a sense of mystery to the clones.
Black Shadow Troop?
Fifty clones who can use Sword Control and wield umbrella swords are much stronger than those shadows.
“Go back and research your new skills. Hurry up and finish drawing from him. If people come to refine their natal magic weapons later, we'll have to leave.”
Xiao Fifteen pointed to the City Lord clone on the eaves.
At the same time, the clone opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time, and flew down.
Qi Jing noticed a difference between him and Xiao Fifteen: he wasn't stepping on the cyan-colored longsword in front of him, which was being used as the formation eye for refining the natal magic weapon.
Moreover, after he came down, he remained motionless.
But his immobility was different from Qi Jing's clones. His slightly downward-curved eyebrows and open face seemed to be watching a show.
Xiao Fifteen didn't pay attention to the clone's expression and waved his hand, saying:
“You can start.”
“Draw!”
Qi Jing routinely stretched out his left hand, ready to tap the drawn item, although he really wanted to draw a skill.
Sure enough, a No. 1 battery appeared in his palm.
Solar Battery: After exploding, it can create a miniature sun.
A battery that can explode into a sun is called a solar battery?
This is a miniature nuclear bomb!
He had to quickly put it away, placing it next to the Sword Nurturing Gourd as his ultimate trump card.
“I didn't expect it, Brother Xiao, your clone even has a self-destruct function. I admire you, I admire you.”
“No?”
Xiao Fifteen remembered that he didn't have this kind of suicidal technique?
No, wait, he actually did have a self-destruct skill called “Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan,” but it was in the Combat Clone, not the City Lord Clone.
“Your drawing ability is quite magical. Keep drawing until someone comes.”
Qi Jing nodded and continued to the next draw:
“Draw!”
A white tuft of hair appeared in Qi Jing's hand.
White Immortal Wig: Wearing it will make you look very ethereal and handsome.
With his looks, does he need this?
Put it away, put it away.
“Draw!”
This time, it was a wooden stick tied with a tuft of white hair.
Non-Smiling Whisk: As long as you hold it, no matter how much you want to laugh, no smile will appear on your face.
Good stuff! Wouldn't it be crushing to use this to play a no-laughing challenge?
“Draw!”
No item, it's a skill!
Key Come: After using this skill, greatly increase typing speed for 40 minutes.
Emmm...
As a civilized youth, he should, probably, perhaps, not need this skill.
“Draw!”
This time, it was an item again, and it was a small, transparent glass ball.
Immortal Stone: Contains a wisp of immortal energy.
“Brother Xiao, what's the use of immortal energy?”
Xiao Fifteen took the Immortal Stone Qi Jing handed over, pinched it with two fingers, and looked at it against the sunlight.
“If I'm not mistaken, it should be usable as a material.”
Who couldn't see that?
These days, even garbage can be used as a material, let alone this kind of stone that looks high-grade.
Qi Jing continued to ask:
“Anything else?”
“It can also replenish my power.”
“Anything else?”
“Anything else, anything else? That's it. It's just a stone containing a wisp of immortal energy. What can it do? Look good? Collect it?”
Xiao Fifteen, not caring at all, tossed the Immortal Stone into Qi Jing's hand:
“This wisp of immortal energy can replenish about one percent of my Source Power. For you, it can be used as a tool to restore Source Power, but you don't practice immortality, so you can't use it.”
“Can't use it?”
“Not now, doesn't mean you can't in the future. Maybe one day you'll draw a spiritual root from a novel, then you can use it?”
Qi Jing was thoughtful:
“Practicing immortality, it should be quite slow, right? But spiritual roots use spiritual energy, Brother Xiao, you don't read many novels. Now, in novels, immortal energy is something that can only be used after the Great Ascension Tribulation Transcendence. You can't even see it in the spiritual root stage.”
This was an old routine from the immortal cultivation novels he read a long time ago.
In the mortal realm, spiritual energy is used for cultivation, and immortal energy can only be used after ascension.
However, Qi Jing hadn't read immortal cultivation novels for a long time, and he didn't know if this set was still popular.
Xiao Fifteen pinched his chin and said:
“We all watch TV. The stuff in your novels is too diverse, can't remember it.”
In his impression, immortals wouldn't fight over those resources, and there wouldn't be so many people killing each other.
Suddenly, Xiao Fifteen sensed that someone was identifying themselves outside the City Lord's Mansion wall, preparing to come over to refine their natal magic weapon, so he reminded Qi Jing:
“Someone is coming outside. Prepare to draw the last one and slip away.”
“Draw!”
Qi Jing wasn't ambiguous. After drawing this one and finding that it wasn't an item, he directly grabbed Tan Zuoyin and stepped onto Xiao Fifteen's enlarged flying sword.
“Wait for me.”
Si Kong Yaoyao also stepped up, hugged Tan Zuoyin's waist, and the four of them flew away together.
On the flying sword, Xiao Fifteen, who had just cast a concealment spell on them, asked from behind:
“What skill did you draw?”
Tan Zuoyin and Si Kong Yaoyao also curiously perked up their ears.
Qi Jing said:
“Purple Qi Comes from the East, it allows me to absorb purple qi for cultivation in the early morning.”
Purple Qi Comes from the East (Passive Skill): Can absorb the purple qi produced when the sun first rises in the early morning, increasing one's physique and mental strength; purple qi will be produced regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy.
“You actually drew my ability.”
Hearing the skill Qi Jing drew this time, Xiao Fifteen's face was slightly surprised:
“This is one of my best cultivation skills. As long as you keep at it year after year, its cultivation effect will become stronger and stronger.”
Qi Jing asked in confusion:
“But its description doesn't say it will become stronger and stronger?”
If it had this ability, how could it not write it out?
Xiao Fifteen waved his hand:
“It doesn't say it, but the effect is definitely there. Just come out and watch the sunrise every morning.”
He wouldn't tell Qi Jing that this sentence was specifically used to make him insist on getting up every morning.
Moreover, if his strength increases and his aura becomes stronger, the purple qi he absorbs every day will naturally increase, so it can't be considered a lie.
“So, that's why you have to fly around Qingyun City every morning to show off?”
Faced with Qi Jing's question, Xiao Fifteen said righteously:
“I'm not trying to show off, I'm really wholeheartedly cultivating.”
“You don't need to strike a pose to sunbathe, right?”
“What do you know? It's more comfortable to absorb purple qi in a handsome pose. Try it tomorrow if you don't believe me.”
“Oh.”
