In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 218: The Betrayal of the Spiritualist
Shen Qionglin already has a standard procedure for calling upon spiritual practitioner number four.

The first step is to assemble the stone slabs.

The second step is to use mental shock to lightly attack the stone slab.

The third step is to wait for the light to tentatively spread outward from the stone slab, and then say in a cold tone, "The method (circuit) you gave last time was obviously wrong."

Then, the angry white-haired old man would emerge from the white light and shout at Shen Qionglin:
"How can it be wrong! Don't test my patience anymore! In my eyes, a genius like you is nothing more than... Oh! That devil!"

Spiritual practitioner number four turned around and was about to leave.

Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "Don't you want to chat? I will be going to the Snow Mountain Base to capture other spiritual practitioners soon. It will take about half a month."

[Basic tricks for scammers: half-true and half-false news can often gain the trust of the scammers.]

Sure enough, spiritual practitioner number four paused.

He frowned and looked at Wang Jixuan, with a little thought in his eyes, and asked in a very cautious tone:
"You're going to capture my partner, so why should I help you? Isn't that ridiculous? Also, where is the Snow Mountain Base?"

"Pretend, keep pretending."

Wang Jixuan responded unhappily, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"You let it slip earlier, and Xing Dian, the person in charge of the Snow Mountain Base, is about to hand over the spiritual practitioner to the Six Elders."

Spiritual practitioner number four remained silent.

He seemed to have just remembered that he had suffered repeated defeats in his previous confrontations with Wang Jixuan.

His shadow smiled awkwardly and said slowly, "That's unlikely. Our companions in the snowy mountains probably don't like those three people over there."

"Oh?" Wang Jixuan nodded slowly, "My guess was correct... To be honest, I just had a frank, direct, and in-depth communication with Jialinuo."

Shen Qionglin's eyes lit up.

How many new topics will this bring!

Wang Jixuan carefully observed the expression of No. 4 and said with a smile: "In order to exchange information, it said a lot about you, such as how you came here, how the six of you broke through the siege and came to this planet on purpose, and in order to find a precious thing, it also said a lot, such as the spiritual civilization originated from this planet."

There was an obvious change in the expression of spiritual practitioner number four.

He frowned and stared at Wang Jixuan, and said in a deep voice: "You are a little beyond my expectations... You want to join forces with the Blade Beast?"

"It depends on which of you offers the higher price."

Wang Jixuan shrugged indifferently.

"I'm going to tell you something you might not like to hear.

"That Garino's attitude is much better than yours. He only has one demand, to wipe out the spiritual cultivator civilization."

Spiritual practitioner number four was silent, with a flickering look in his eyes.

Obviously, the information revealed in Wang Jixuan's words had a great impact on him.

Everything should be done in moderation, especially when it comes to deception, too much is as bad as too little.

Wang Jixuan looked around and was about to grab a folding chair.

A maid came running over and brought a simple inflatable sofa to Master Wang.

Mudan, whose figure seemed to have become a little slimmer, stood calmly behind Wang Jixuan.

Just like before returning to the factory.

Wang Jixuan turned his head to look at her and found that Peony's appearance had basically not changed; he didn't say anything, with a smile on his face, and continued to stare at the spiritual practitioner No. 4 in front of him.

The biggest hidden danger in that snow mountain base is the possible spiritual practitioner.

If every spiritual practitioner has a spire and a complete set of inheritance, then the spiritual practitioners hidden in this snowy mountain must also have a large number of spiritual slaves.

That's the biggest trouble.

Spiritual practitioners can exchange information with each other, but they seem to be not harmonious with each other. Wang Jixuan wants to take advantage of this and see if he can get some new information.

About five or six minutes later.

Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 sighed and whispered, "Things are completely out of our control."

it has started.

Taoist Wang did not reply, but just watched silently.

Spiritual practitioner number four was clearly losing confidence.

"What do you want to know from me? What can you give me?"

"That depends on what you can say," Wang Jixuan said, "I'm still hesitating whether to go to the Snow Mountain Base. My strength can be continuously improved. I'm sure you've already discovered this. Delaying for a while, such as half a year or a year, is not a bad thing for me."

"No, you can't afford to delay."

The look of spiritual practitioner number four became more sharp:
“Since you seek an equal conversation, I will talk to you on an equal footing.

"According to the information I have, you did communicate with Galino, but you rejected Galino and killed a Galino with your own hands... although it was still some distance away from being killed.

"I have already seen through Xiao Shen's little tricks. You want to trick me into giving you all kinds of information, right?

“There’s no need to look down on us.

"We are like six ghosts, quietly watching this world, looking for what we want to find, and trying to cultivate an army of spirit slaves."

Wang Jixuan retorted, "An army of spirit slaves? Don't tell me it's the City of Psychic Energy. Can all the forces there combined be able to fight against the subordinate blade beasts of a pillar-level blade beast?"

"Yes, we are now at a complete disadvantage. The wisdom of those Garinos and pillar-level blade beasts is far beyond our imagination."

Spiritual practitioner No. 4 folded his arms, and his old face turned into a middle-aged one with a somewhat defiant expression.

This might be his true appearance.

He looked at Shen Qionglin beside Wang Jixuan and said calmly:
"Not only can the six of us communicate in an emergency, we can also share intelligence that each of us deems valuable. This is a protocol written into our core circuit.

"We allowed the Blade Beasts to take advantage of us because of our internal strife, and we must not lose our last chance because of internal strife.

“You don’t have to try to know what we are looking for, or ask how to kill a spiritualist… Would we be so stupid as to destroy ourselves?
“Young man, you are a little full of yourself and think highly of yourself.

"I'm not afraid of angering you. Your way of utilizing psychic energy is very elementary. You actually rely on your own resonance with psychic energy.

“People who don’t have the qualifications for this resonance can’t gain power, right? Every human being has a different physique.

“And we only need to give them circuits to create combat units.

"Your practice method relies heavily on your own physical condition. Am I wrong?"

Wang Jixuan: ...

The Infinite Heavenly Venerable.

This guy seems to have really taken off his disguise.

Taoist Wang immediately showed a puzzled expression, but then immediately put it away, smiled contemptuously, and said calmly:
"If you are really that powerful, why were you forced into this situation by the blade beasts? You are just trying to save face as a loser."

"The Blade Beasts are us! We created them with our own hands!"

The gaze of spiritual practitioner number four was very sharp:

"We possess extremely powerful strength, almost like gods, and can control everything in this level of space!"

"So you designed the blade beasts and let them destroy other civilizations?"

"That's not sabotage!"

Spiritual practitioner number four cursed angrily:
“Isn’t this often the case with your human civilization?

“During your so-called golden age, when fossil fuels were the primary energy source, your powerful political regimes continued to plunder and wage war!
"We are just doing the same thing. Besides, we will never completely exterminate a race. We will leave the seeds of civilization and even nurture them to develop again!"

Wang Jixuan suddenly understood: "Farming."

"We call it space animal husbandry," said the fourth spiritual practitioner, looking up slightly. "Admittedly, we are in a very difficult situation now, and our civilization is on the brink of extinction, but we are not without a backup plan!"

Wang Jixuan shook his head: "I see a creature in you."

"biology?"

"When a duck is cooked, only its mouth is left."

"roll!"

Spiritual practitioner number four said angrily, "You don't even have the most basic spatial cognition! Your civilization uses individual differentiation to achieve domination. Isn't this a form of exploitation?"

"No, no, no, this is different."

Wang Jixuan said leisurely:

“Because we will pass it on.

“Although the problem you mentioned does exist, and one must look at physical fitness to practice, the world is like this, and not everyone can be like a dragon.

“We will choose a way to pass down the resonance methods, and continue to improve these methods from generation to generation... We call it Gongfa.

“As for more, I won’t tell you more.

"You are only focusing on the current universe, but we are pursuing true advancement!"

Number Four asked in astonishment, "You guys actually want to become gods?"

The Taoist priest replied leisurely: "The gods in my hometown are all transformed from humans."

"What a ridiculous civilization!"

Spiritual practitioner number four sneered:
"You can't even understand the most basic space, yet you still dream of becoming a god! My spire is in the subspace. Although this is my work at my peak, now, as long as I close the portal, even the pillar-level blade beasts can't break through my gate!"

A wisp of black energy burst out from Wang Jixuan's fingertips.

The black gas transformed into a dragon and roared silently at spiritual practitioner No. 4.

Spiritual practitioner No. 4's attitude has obviously softened a lot.

Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Jixuan shook his hands gently in front of spiritual practitioner No. 4.

Several boxes appeared in front of him. Wang Jixuan took out two talismans from them, and then put the boxes into the round hoop storage device.

"Is this the subspace you're talking about?"

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue:

“I’ve already said that the method of utilizing psychic energy in my hometown has been continuously passed down and continuously improved during the process of inheritance.

"This method is extremely unsophisticated in our area. I am able to refine and use it at my current psychic level."

He wasn't exaggerating, the storage device was indeed quite ordinary.

Although most of the high-quality storage tools on the market in the cultivation world are produced by tool refiners from large sects.

Most of the independent cultivators deal in second-hand storage instruments.

Spiritual practitioner No. 4 fell silent again. His eyes flickered as he stared at Wang Jixuan’s wrist.

Wang Jixuan said: "My time is limited, and I don't want to waste too much on you. Come on, prove that your value is above the blade beast. If you can tell me the basic information of the spiritual practitioner in the Snow Mountain Base, then I owe you a favor and can meet your condition that does not violate my principles."

Spiritual practitioner number four thought for three to five minutes.

"Okay, but we have to negotiate the terms first."

"speak."

"I want ten spirit slaves."

Mudan reminded, “Sir, he asked for a hundred last time.”

"Not even one," Wang Jixuan shook his head. "Our principle is not to conduct perfusion experiments."

The fourth spiritual practitioner immediately added: "I am not asking you to conduct experiments. I am doing the next best thing. I want ten psyker captives from your hostile forces. I want to devour them."

He thought about it, stared at the band on Wang Jixuan's wrist for a few seconds, and finally explained directly:

“I can share some secrets with you first.

“The souls of humans who died during the infusion experiment will be devoured by the infusion slabs and fed back to the spire.

"This engraved soul slave will continuously and weakly dedicate a small portion of its own power to the spire.

“Therefore, the more spiritual slaves a spiritual practitioner has, the faster his strength will recover.

“Raising a soul slave is equivalent to a long-term investment. In addition, we can devour the soul of the soul slave in one gulp—using the power of the spire, we ourselves will not have such a cruel circuit.

“This is also forced by the situation.

“The three guys in the underground of the Psychic City have now recovered about 10%, or even 15%. They are an existence that you cannot contend with.

"Your biggest mistake was not destroying the Psionic City directly fifty years ago. Of course, this was due to your own limitations."

Just as spiritual practitioner No. 4 was about to sneer, Wang Jixuan rubbed the restraints with his fingers a few times.

He seemed to have accepted his fate, and his appearance returned to that of a kind old man with white clothes, white hair and white beard, and he continued:

“Yes, the six of us are not a group, and we have been hostile to each other in the past years.

“I don’t really like the numbers you gave me, but they are surprisingly close to our original rankings.

"Our spaceship disintegrated when it approached the Earth... In order to avoid the attack of the blade beast, we could only use the subspace to forcibly shuttle. Although we finally completed the shuttle, this precious spaceship still disintegrated.

“I was with the three of them at the time. I was a centrist, that is, I did not have a clear position, and I did not have any hostile relationship with the three of them.

“But later, the three of them went too far and wanted to monopolize the resources of the City of Psychic Energy. They prevented me from using my stone tablet to engrave the Psychic Slaves, and my strength recovery speed quickly fell behind them.

“So when Fu Jian attacked me, I deliberately controlled a few spirit slaves and asked Fu Jian to bring me back… Unexpectedly, Fu Jian didn’t want to go the psychic route at all.

"Now, I am the weakest among the six of us. I can't even start yet."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Who was the spiritual practitioner in the Snow Mountain Base originally ranked sixth or fifth?"

"fifth."

"Where did the sixth one go?"

"I can't say, that's my other hope, that's my friend."

Spiritual practitioner number four stared at Wang Jixuan's wrist and said slowly, "Can I see this item of yours? It's so magical."

Wang Jixuan shook his head and performed the boring picking and putting performance a few more times.

Spiritual practitioner number four kept muttering, "How on earth is this done?"

"You don't understand?" Wang Jixuan asked with a smile, "Aren't this spire and this space your creation?"

Spiritual practitioner number four was silent.

He took the initiative to say: "Well, don't you want to know the information about the guy in the snowy mountains?"

"Just say it."

"My conditions?"

"Okay," Wang Jixuan said, "but I can only pick out some extremely evil and dirty souls for you."

By the way, a trace of subtle demonic energy will be planted in the bodies of these spiritual practitioners.

Spiritual practitioner number four nodded slowly and revealed some information about his fellow travelers.

……

Six hours later.

Two transport planes left Fortress No. 76 and flew into the heavy night.

Because the spiritual practitioners hidden in the snow mountain base might be able to sense the psychics, especially Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, who are the spiritual slaves of spiritual practitioner No. 5, so they can only march in two groups.

This will undoubtedly significantly increase the risk of exposure.

But with a little thought, you may be able to achieve the effect of creating confusion.

Wang Jixuan sat in a comfortable chair, constantly thinking about what to do next and the credibility of the information provided by spiritual practitioner No. 4.

Mudan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found the right opportunity.

She hesitated in the bathroom for a while, changed into a slim silver-white pressure-resistant suit, put on some light makeup, tiptoed behind Wang Jixuan, and stood on tiptoe against the back of the seat.

"Sir, I have something to report."
