CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 208: SMALL KNIFE’S NEW INVENTION

Small Knife’s New Invention

It’s a pity the system isn’t powerful enough; it can’t replace the consumption of drawing spirit talismans using Experience like it can for levels below a hundred.

That’s also why people here are improving rapidly, because they can use Experience instead of consumption, the effect is equivalent to a hundred times that of the natives.

Unfortunately, the same doesn’t apply to spirit talismans. Nowadays, after drawing one, Xiu’Er consumes a lot of energy, needing at least ten days of recovery time.

This is why an entry-level lower-grade attack spirit talisman is worth a spirit stone, or even more.

However, according to the system’s prompts, it’s beginning to collect the process of drawing spirit talismans. With enough data deduction, by then, the successful attempts can be replaced with Experience.

At that point, it will be time to draw a large number of spirit talismans.

Will Xiu’Er then become the first tool person? The spirit talisman creating machine?

??

Small Knife wonders if he’s being a bit cruel?

However, it seems like Xiu’Er is enjoying it.

So, Small Knife feels that he should also work hard.

He puts the Water Crow Pot and Hundred Spirits Banner into his personal space to start analyzing and understanding the spirit patterns within them.

This is the key to magical artifacts; special artifacts naturally keep their secrets and have protective measures.

These artifacts also have protective measures to prevent imitation and learning of the spirit patterns. However, in his personal space, Small Knife can clearly see everything with his "Spiritual Sense."

He assumes that all Foundation Establishment Cultivators can do this.

He doesn’t realize that if the protective measures can’t even block the spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, what kind of protective measures are they?

Only his personal space is particularly special; once placed inside, it gets assimilated by the rules of the entire space.

This is why Small Knife can easily see them, and why he can sense and connect with the Sunflower Water Profound Spirit Flower.

With such a rare opportunity, although Small Knife has gained a lot, he quickly grew irritated.

After all, it’s too tedious.

So, he stepped out and asked the body swapping cultivators under his command to come over one by one to test their spirit roots.

The results made Small Knife very dissatisfied; surprisingly, they were all half spirit roots, though there were some differences among them.

However, none managed to achieve a complete entry-level spirit root; they could only obtain a part of it.

Forget it, he’s already guessed that their cultivation speed is like a turtle’s pace.

He then distributed the quota of captured cultivators.

This time, it wasn’t limited to NPC subordinates; players could also get a chance to swap bodies.

But NPC subordinates rank by contribution, while players can only use contributions to exchange for the opportunity.

Naturally, even the highest contributing NPC subordinates don’t have enough to exchange for a body swapping opportunity, but they can owe it.

The highest contributors have the qualification to owe.

But players can’t; Small Knife doesn’t allow them to owe.

It’s not that he’s unwilling; he just feels that swapping bodies isn’t the best way to obtain a spirit root.

However, he can’t deny them hope; otherwise, there will be complaints.

So, this reasonable postponement method is quite suitable.

Soon, Small Knife began swapping bodies for the NPC subordinates.

One by one, it was something he was already familiar with.

The scene no longer appeared so eerie, but rather calm.

The heads weren’t wasted but were all hung on the Deceptive Head Demon Tree, obtaining a part of their memory in the process.

This gave Small Knife more information and some secrets.

At this point, the Deceptive Head Demon Tree already had many cultivator heads hanging on it.

The oldest fat head had long lost its original memory and had become as bloodthirsty and impulsive as other naturally grown fruits.

Now, Small Knife understands it’s not truly bloodthirsty, but it’s without memory and operates on instinct, naturally appearing more ferocious like a wild beast.

He kept a few captives as a bottom line, essentially leaving a quota for players to redeem, giving them hope.

Even so, it exhausted Small Knife.

Because this time, the number was quite large.

The results of his busy work were significant.

He added over thirty subordinates who broke through the hundred level bottleneck, enabling them to fight, unleash spirit talismans, and even force high-level Qi Cultivators to flee. Those caught by surprise were all dead.

Eh, Small Knife suddenly noticed that on the Deceptive Head Demon Tree, the neck of the oldest fat head had unknowingly grown a considerable length.

Immediately he paid attention.

It grew slowly because the consumption was enormous.

"Incredible!", as the owner, Small Knife seemed to discover that the newly grown body part innately could break through the hundred level bottleneck existence, though incomplete, he couldn’t determine if it had a spirit root?

Even if there’s only a possibility, he immediately increased the supply of Bloodthirsty Demon Vine’s flesh, including demon beast.

As its symbiotic partner, it would provide most of the nutrients to the Deceptive Head Demon Tree.

And as the owner, he required the Deceptive Head Demon Tree to supply most of the nutrients to this fat head fruit.

Underground was entry-level spirit soil, something that couldn’t be bought with spirit stones outside.

The entry-level spirit water used to water it was the same.

Small Knife specially approved that a drop of entry-level spirit water be given to this Deceptive Head Demon Tree every three days.

Don’t say he’s stingy, a drop of entry-level spirit water is rare, becoming mortal-level celestial grade half-spirit water, weighing a thousand pounds.

Selling that would net a thousand spirit stones.

It shows that Small Knife has been generous to the extreme.

After all, no matter how much spirit water there is, it will eventually run out with sustained consumption.

History that can be checked reveals no player has ever been this extravagant.

Which also means there might be a chance for the Deceptive Head Demon Tree to break through its limits and grow a fruit that breaks the hundred level.

As to whether it succeeds, it depends on fate, but Small Knife has done his best.

He looks forward to the future; hence, Small Knife feels a lot better.

Lying on a recliner under the tree, sipping tea, the freshly-rested Xiu’Er comes over to massage his shoulders, appreciating the busyness of other NPCs.

And through the Celestial Net, peeking, no, observing the players, is also a form of enjoyment.
