Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 78 An army marches on its stomach (Please subscribe) (8/10)

Jincheng Park covers a considerable area, but finding a quiet, secluded spot early in the morning is not an easy task.

Xu Zhiyi searched for quite a while before finally finding a secluded grove of trees.

He had already tested the physical changes, and now he wanted to test whether the power of the Sword Control Technique had increased accordingly!

After confirming once again that no one was around and there were no cameras, he took a deep breath, and with a slight thought, a tungsten steel harpoon appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This harpoon was specially treated by him; the automatically ejecting spikes were removed, making it more rounded and smooth, so it wouldn't get stuck in an object and be impossible to pull out.

Sword Control Technique, activated!

The ten-centimeter-long harpoon shot into the air with a "whoosh," spinning rapidly around him at a much faster speed than before, and it was also more stable during flight.

The shaking and wobbling have been greatly reduced.

"go!"

Xu Zhiyi focused her mind on a camphor tree as thick as a bowl in front of her.

The harpoon transformed into a streak of black light and shot out in an instant!

With a sharp whooshing sound, the tungsten steel harpoon pierced the tree trunk with a "thud," leaving a round hole about the size of a thumb, before emerging from the other end.

The harpoon, its power undiminished, pierced through the second camphor tree with a "thud," finally embedding itself in the trunk of the third tree, with only about a centimeter of its tail protruding.

That's quite powerful!

Xu Zhiyi witnessed the entire process.

He could clearly feel that the power of the Sword Control Technique had increased significantly.

Although he had never handled a handgun, he felt that the power of a handgun was probably only this much.

In some respects, the Sword Control Technique is even more flexible, more concealed, and more unpredictable than a pistol.

Most importantly, he's even more handsome!

With a single thought, the flying sword arrives!

This is true cultivation!

Now that the power of the Sword Control Technique has increased, he no longer needs to pull out the fish spears himself. Instead, he uses the Sword Control Technique to control the fish spears, causing them to twist and retreat from the tree trunk little by little on their own.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave, but instead steered his harpoon through the woods.

Its speed varies, and its trajectory is entirely arbitrary.

It goes up and down, flying wherever it wants, trying its best not to crash into trees.

However, this is obviously very difficult.

It had only been flying for a few seconds when the harpoon plunged headfirst into the tree trunk.

If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times.

Gradually, the harpoon became more and more agile under his control.

Even difficult maneuvers like figure-eight maneuvers and sudden stops and starts can be performed with ease by wielding the harpoon.

The only drawback is that the control range of the Sword Control Technique has not increased accordingly.

The maximum distance is about 20 meters.

Beyond this distance, the connection is lost, as if no signal is received, and the harpoon, which was flying perfectly, suddenly falls to the ground.

But within a radius of twenty meters, he can control the harpoon as if it were his own arm, making it go east when he wants it to go east, and west when he wants it to go west.

It's not just fish spears.

With the power of the Sword Control Technique, he can manipulate grass, trees, leaves, and stones.

It's just not as fast and agile as a harpoon.

He tried many things and concluded that the closer the shape was to a sword and the lighter the weight, the easier it was to control, and vice versa.

Before long, his spirit was exhausted.

It's the kind where not a single drop is left.

However, he was prepared.

He took out a grayish-white pill directly from his storage bag.

This is what he ate this morning.

There are two left.

At the time, he thought of staying to prevent the situation where his spiritual energy would be exhausted in the future.

Now is the perfect time to test it out.

He tossed the ordinary Qi Refining Pill into his mouth, and it melted instantly upon entering his mouth. A warm current surged through his entire body, flowing to his limbs and bones, and finally merging into his dantian.

The spirit that had been parched gradually became full again.

However, compared to before, there are still far fewer.

He opened the panel and took a look.

[Realm Level]: Second Level of Refinement (7/200)

[Spirit]: 500/1870

This ordinary Qi Refining Pill only raised his cultivation level by 4 points!

However, it didn't restore his mana to full immediately; instead, it only restored 500 points of spirit.

It seems that the "mana restoration" effect of alchemy also has an upper limit.

The reason he was able to fully recover his spiritual energy last time was probably because his total spiritual energy was not high to begin with, and besides, he had taken a high-quality Qi Refining Pill that time.

Xu Zhiyi was a little disappointed, but upon reflection, it was understandable.

After all, this alchemy wasn't originally intended for "mana restoration." "Mana restoration" was just a side effect. Being able to restore 500 points of spirit at once was already quite good.

He still has one ordinary-grade pill left.

I'll keep this one for now.

If you eat it now, it will only improve your health by a few points.

better than nothing.

It's better to keep it for a rainy day.

It was already past seven o'clock when we left the park.

He ate breakfast at a roadside stall, then rode a shared bicycle straight to the Jinge Ginseng and Deer Antler Market, going to the same shop as before.

The owner was drinking tea in the shop, pouring himself a drink.

His eyes lit up immediately when he came in.

"Young man, you're here! Come, come, bring some tea, bring some tea."

Xu Zhiyi had two cups of tea with the Cantonese boss, and just like last time, she bought ten ginseng roots and ten lingzhi mushrooms.

The shopkeeper didn't ask any questions and quickly took out the medicinal herbs.

Xu Zhiyi inspected the goods and paid for them.

Thirty-two thousand yuan was exchanged for ten portions each of top-grade ginseng and top-grade Ganoderma lucidum.

He carried the things out the door, and when no one was looking, he put them directly into his storage bag.

There were also Solomon's Seal and morning dew in the storage bag.

All the materials needed for basic alchemy have been prepared.

Xu Zhiyi directly summoned the alchemy panel on the street.

【Please select the quantity to refine: 1-9】

【Please select heat level: high heat / low heat】

Nine!

slow fire!

Estimated time: 72 hours

[Begin Alchemy]

Current progress: 0%

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, and the lid fell off.

A gentle flame rose from the bottom of the furnace, tenderly licking its base.

Xu Zhiyi nodded in satisfaction.

Another batch of Qi-refining pills is on its way.

Xu Zhiyi closed the alchemy panel and glanced at the time.

It's still early before I have to go to work.

He took out his phone and searched for the locations of nearby jewelry stores, intending to sell the silver in his storage bag.

I've saved up 74 taels of silver recently. But the price of silver has been fluctuating too much lately, and it seems to have risen quite a bit in the news. Since I'm just keeping it anyway, I might as well take advantage of the rising price and cash out.

Besides, he's going to Shanghai tomorrow to see a mineral and gemstone exhibition, and buying iron meteorites will definitely cost him a lot of money, so it's always good to have more cash on hand.

When we arrived at the jewelry store, a young clerk was sitting behind the counter.

Xu Zhiyi explained his purpose, took out silver ingots from his backpack, kept only 5 taels of silver for later use, and neatly stacked the remaining 69 taels on the counter.

The young teller was taken aback. "So many?"

The saleswomen in the store also looked over.

"Yes, sell them all."

The teller tested the purity with instruments one by one, and after confirming that there were no problems, began weighing and calculating the bill.

"A total of 2898 grams."

"Today's buyback price is 18.5 yuan per gram."

"The total is fifty-three thousand six hundred and thirteen."

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

The price of silver has risen a little more than last time.

This is the capital market.

In less than a month, the price he sold silver for three times dropped from 22.85 yuan to 15 yuan, and now it has risen to 18.5 yuan. During this period, I don't know how many more people have been exploited, and how many people have gone to the rooftop.

But none of this concerns him.

Looking at the payment notification on his phone, he nodded in satisfaction.

With the remaining 10,000 yuan from buying medicinal herbs, he still had 66,000 yuan in his account.

This amount of money should be enough for him to take a trip to Shanghai.
