Mobile Shelter

Based on the situation that evening, it was confirmed that the imperial court not only knew about the matter but had also begun to take control of it.

Given this situation, it's safe to assume that it won't be long before the imperial court determines how those people acquired their superpowers, and Dong Qi's newly acquired superpowers may also be exposed as a result.

However, that's all in the future. If it is eventually exposed, then the limited item upgrade ability will be exposed. Anyway, this is an ability obtained on Earth, while the ability to materialize thoughts given by Mother Earth must be hidden.

Although we don't know how to obtain the special energy required to materialize objects, the ability to materialize any object reflecting the thoughts of humankind on Earth must never be known to anyone, as this ability is far too advanced.

After calming down, Dong Qi first focused on understanding the item upgrade abilities that had been awakened on Blue Star.

After careful investigation, it was found that the advantages and disadvantages of this ability are quite obvious.

Advantages: Item upgrades are conceptual upgrades. For example, upgrading a weapon can consume resources to upgrade its physical durability or toughness, or it can upgrade its conceptual armor penetration and armor piercing.

Disadvantages: It can only improve the weapon's public perception, but cannot upgrade its innovative development capabilities. Furthermore, upgrading a particular capability requires consuming its corresponding resources.

For example, you can upgrade an ordinary sword into a powerful weapon with various attributes like those in a game, but you can't upgrade it into a flying sword that can fly through the air.

Because in the public's perception, whether it is wielding a flame or something that will kill upon contact, it can be forged from the corresponding ore, while flying with a sword is a skill learned by the wielder.

To put it simply, take the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) for example. It can not only change size, but also transform into any other weapon. However, in the minds of the general public on Earth, the Ruyi Jingu Bang cannot be transformed into a house or a vehicle.

Therefore, this seemingly powerful ability not only requires the consumption of a large amount of resources, but also has a strong limiting effect on it.

Compared to how stingy Earth is when giving superpowers, Mother Earth is much more generous in her gifts to her wanderers.

Although the special energy required for manifestation has not yet been found, an opportunity for manifestation was given when the ability to manifest thoughts was acquired.

Of course, this kind of "newbie gift pack" manifestation cannot manifest any item at will, but it can manifest the most suitable item in one's mind according to one's current wishes.

Because of the sudden changes in the world, what Dong Qi wanted most at this moment was something that could enhance his own strength and wouldn't be easily discovered by others.

As Dong Qi made his intense prayers, objects materializing from his thoughts appeared in his mind.

Body Refining Technique: Hundred Forging Technique.

Demonic cultivation technique: Blood Coagulation Technique.

Unorthodox martial arts technique: Treasure Forging Technique.

The thought directly presented three different cultivation methods, but none of these three cultivation methods were the orthodox Qi cultivation methods in the traditional sense.

Upon seeing these three cultivation methods, Dong Qi almost thought he was an abandoned child, unloved by his maternal grandparents and uncles.

However, after Dong Qi carefully examined them, he discovered that these three cultivation methods were specially selected by Si Chao based on the current situation, making them the most suitable for Dong Qi's current cultivation needs.

The reason why the orthodox Qi cultivation method was not manifested was because Dong Qi did not know whether spiritual energy, a special energy, existed on Blue Star at this time.

Unless Dong Qi has explicitly confirmed the manifestation of his thoughts, the recommended items will only be based on the conditions that Dong Qi already knows.

Therefore, these three cultivation methods recommended can be practiced normally regardless of whether Blue Star possesses spiritual energy at this time.

There's no need to elaborate on body-refining techniques; the resources consumed in cultivation are food, although the quality of food required increases with the level of cultivation.

However, if high-quality food is unavailable, one can compensate by consuming large amounts of ordinary food. In simpler terms, if spirit rice is unavailable, ordinary rice can be used as a substitute, although a large quantity is required.

However, given the current state of technology on Earth, even without spiritual food, it is still possible to find some highly nutritious alternatives.

The demonic cultivation technique, Blood Coagulation Technique, is so named because the resource required for its cultivation is blood.

In contrast to ancient times when it was necessary to constantly kill animals to obtain large quantities of blood, obtaining blood in modern times is actually quite simple.

If animal blood could be used as a substitute, then slaughterhouses across the country could provide a massive amount of blood every day for them to cultivate.

If one really needs blood for cultivation, although it may not be possible to purchase large quantities within the Great Xia Dynasty, it is not difficult to purchase large quantities elsewhere as long as one has the money.

Although, like body-refining techniques, the quality of blood required for cultivation must also continuously improve with the increase in cultivation level, the Blood Coagulation Technique comes with its own method to improve blood quality. Therefore, as long as the quantity is sufficient, it can make up for the deficiency in quality.

Needless to say, there are unorthodox methods of treasure forging, which use blood refining techniques to transform an ordinary object into a natal object that is intertwined with one's own life.

Afterwards, by continuously consuming various materials, he gradually upgraded the originally ordinary mortal objects, thereby improving his own cultivation level through the continuous improvement of the level of his natal objects.

When one's natal item is upgraded to the level of a magic weapon, one's cultivation level will naturally increase to the Qi Refining stage. When one's natal item is upgraded to the level of a magic treasure, one's cultivation level will naturally increase to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, compared to traditional Qi cultivation methods, when one's natal magic weapon is damaged, one will only suffer severe injury and can recover through recuperation. In fact, by consuming some rare and precious herbs, one can even re-forge the natal magic weapon in the future.

If a natal artifact crafted using the Treasure Forging Technique is completely destroyed, the user will not suffer serious injury, but will die directly.

However, if the body suffers an irreparable injury, the soul can reside in the object of one's destiny, thus becoming what is known as an artifact spirit.

This is why some people, upon discovering that someone is practicing the Treasure Forging Technique, will try every means to kill them, since only spiritual treasures can give birth to artifact spirits.

As long as you obtain the natal object of a cultivator who practices the Treasure Forging Technique, and kill it, and erase its consciousness after it becomes a weapon spirit, you will at least obtain a spiritual treasure embryo. As long as you invest the corresponding resources, you will definitely be able to obtain a spiritual treasure in the future.

Even though these three different cultivation methods represent three different directions of cultivation, they also simultaneously meet the condition that they are not easily discovered by others after cultivation.

Unlike modern bodybuilding, which results in noticeable muscle mass, practicing body-refining exercises does not cause any significant changes to the body.

The same applies to demonic cultivation techniques, since in most worlds, no one would openly practice demonic techniques.

The same applies to the Forging Treasure Technique of unorthodox martial arts. Although enhancing one's natal item will also have a feedback effect on oneself, no special changes will appear on the surface.
