"Hmm," Wu Man nodded seriously, staring intently at the hexagon-shaped array.

Lao Zheng, however, seemed uninterested.

Master Wang said curiously, "Why aren't you enthusiastic at all, Captain Zheng?"

"Heh," Zheng Shiduo chuckled awkwardly, "I know what you mean, Wang. You don't think much of this core circuit and want to train a reliable person to become a new Spirit Cultivator... I'm not cut out for it. If I really became a Spirit Cultivator, the other five Spirit Cultivators would team up to kill me. They might even accuse me of tarnishing the Spirit Cultivators' reputation... Xiao Wu is a good kid; he can be the focus of our training."

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Man also shook his head with a smile.

Wang Jixuan scolded with a laugh, "Can't you change your temperament?"

"This is life's fun. Without it, life would be dull."

"It's not about selecting a successor for the core circuit," Wang Jixuan explained briefly. "Using the core circuit like this is a bit wasteful. If all goes well, we can train a large batch of secondary Spirit Cultivators."

"Secondary? Spirit Cultivators?"

"A large batch?"

Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo were both stunned.

Wang Jixuan didn't keep them in suspense and introduced, "First step, we need to transform trusted Spirit Ability Users into users of this core circuit.

"Second step, I will open up the 620 spiritual energy circuits within the core circuit, not to infuse, but for you to learn and comprehend.

"In Xing Dian's memory, I found the spiritual power learning techniques he studied for over sixty years.

"It's actually a kind of spiritual energy circuit imprint.

"I tweaked it a bit, turning spiritual energy circuit imprint into spiritual energy circuit simulation.

"Watch this."

With a push and a pull of his left hand, Master Wang's palm was enveloped in a faint flame.

Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "This is useless to me; its effects are far inferior to my magic, but for you, it allows you to grasp more abilities, like Ji Xiao's ability."

Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Zheng Shiduo asked, "Can this thing be promoted within the war zone?"

"Uh," Wang Jixuan hadn't thought about it, "It can, but the key technology must be controlled by our people. This thing can't fall into the hands of outsiders, we'll need to study it further.

Zheng Shiduo sighed and said, "I must have saved countless people in a previous life to become one of your own, Wang."

"Stop flattering me! Just focus on studying this, remember the feeling, and let's see how far you can go without guidance."

Wang Jixuan gently guided, leaving the dozen or so hexagons glowing before Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man.

"I'm going to chat with Lao Fu.

Lao Zheng reminded me of something. If all goes well, our Little Electronic Sound Temple will reopen soon."

Several figures flashed in Wang Jixuan's mind.

This matter, we can involve Shen Qionglin. Shen Qionglin might have new insights. We also need to work on No.5's thinking, so they can provide some help.

Wang Jixuan was self-aware.

He was merely a cultivator, not an expert in spiritual energy;

This time, he managed to solve the spiritual energy simulation by standing on Xing Dian's shoulders, sitting back and enjoying the fruits, and adding a bit of knowledge from the cultivation world.

'Being a person, one must be humble.'

Master Wang did not know when Lingtong would regain health.

He had solidified his pill;

It was time to test himself with the most crucial part of Red Dust Heart Refining!

...

While Lingtong recovered, Wang Jixuan busily handled his duties.

He first did a post-war assessment.

His alternate soul needed to be retrained, but with a continuous supply of blade beast crystal cores, it would take just half a month to restore it to its peak, with a slight strength increase expected.

Master Wang's main body had gained significant benefits.

Much like the last time they purified some of the beast speakers' residual souls, this time, purifying the demonic energy of the Snow Mountain also enhanced Wang Jixuan's primordial soul power.

Unfortunately, due to his cultivation realm constraints, this improvement seemed to have reached its peak.

Primordial soul power was equivalent to Condensation Realm fulfillment, with no significant further increases.

Next, primordial soul, Dao body, and Qi sea need to merge to form a Golden Core, housing the primordial soul within the core, then gradually transforming into a Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit.

Master Wang was satisfied with this.

Currently, his main body's combat strength was somewhat 'imbalanced'—he could cast powerful magic, but his mana was too low, using two or three spells would leave him in a mana-depleted state.

In short: explosive power but poor stamina.

Now, with war puppets as support, he didn't have to worry about this issue and could steadily advance to the Golden Core Realm.

Fu Jian held a small online meeting, and Wang Jixuan joined.

During the meeting, Wang Jixuan saw some of the intelligence that Mu Dan had previously shown him.

Including but not limited to the losses in the D2 Combined Combat Zone, the movements of the blade beast group, anomalies in Spiritual Ability City, and so on.

Their threats were no longer from one side.

The peripheral blade beast groups were retreating, the main blade beast groups showed signs of mass awakening, and the awakening rate of the two pillar-level blade beasts, No.6 and No.9, was increasing by about one percent daily.

Fortunately, the awakening rates of other pillar-level blade beasts remained low, with no significant increases.

During the meeting's discussions, Wang Jixuan provided appropriate reminders.

"The crux lies with Galino.

"According to the testimony of Spirit Cultivator No.5, the awakening of the Super King-level blade beast and the rapid rise in pillar-level blade beast awakenings all stem from Galino.

"We might be able to come up with a way to capture Galino's new body and seal it using Spirit Cultivator methods.

"Galino must also be paying a price, or it would have used this method long ago."

The few D2 and D5 senior generals attending the meeting were puzzled by this.

After the meeting, D5 sent a large batch of mechanical bodies to D2, along with dozens of He Yuan Pills.

D2 underwent a major internal purge, citing the usual reason—

Brain-eating worms.

After the meeting, Fu Jian personally arrived at Fortress No.76 and chatted with Wang Jixuan for a few hours.

Fu Jian's eyes sparkled with hope.

It was as if he saw the dawn before the night recedes.

Fu Jian proactively inquired about the core circuit of Spirit Cultivators, Wang Jixuan demonstrated it and shared his detailed plans.

Fu Jian agreed but also expressed his concern:

"Time is an element we absolutely cannot overlook.

"The blade beasts won't sit idle, and the Six Elders are already on the brink of madness. I'm considering whether to directly kill the Six Elders and then deal with the backlash from Spiritual Ability City.

"Your upcoming meeting with the Natural Faction's SS-level figures is heavily politically significant. Strive to form a united front with them so that they can support us fully."

Wang Jixuan asked, "You want to stir up conflict within Spiritual Ability City?"

"I have a lot of friends in the Natural Faction, but this friendship isn't paramount."

Fu Jian said sternly:

"If, without our intervention, we can use thirty percent of Spiritual Ability City's power to overthrow seventy percent of its strength,

"it would be best if they could consume over fifty percent of Spiritual Ability City's overall power.

"This way, we can more easily handle the blade beasts' future offenses."

Master Wang was silent.

He did not agree with Fu Jian's perspective.

The Natural Faction were friends, and friends should be protected;

But Wang Jixuan also knew that Fu Jian considered things from a human standpoint and didn't care about bearing infamy.

For victory, Fu Jian could withstand all manner of disgrace and controversy.

"I'll try to reach out." Thi-s is a sam$pl^e f.ro^m# My V@ir+tual! L$i.b#rar*y# E!mpir*e..* Re&a%d+ the res@t^ on M%-&VL$E#M.PY*R&.$

"Yes, all frontline Spirit Ability Users from D5, D7, D8, and D9, totaling over 2000 people, will now be under your command."

Fu Jian said plainly:

"Quickly help them undergo modifications with the core circuit you control.

"If their abilities can be enhanced to some extent, that would be ideal.

"Spirit Cultivator No.4's spire should be excavated in about half a month, and I will have it sent to you immediately."

Wang Jixuan smiled with joy.

Professor Shen's work was rolling back in.

After Fu Jian left, Wang Jixuan continued busily.

Alchemy and artifact refining became routine business; reviving the alternate soul required day-and-night efforts; reinforcing the Mountain Protection Array couldn't be delayed; comprehending the core circuit was imperative; and delivering caring meals to Lingtong daily was a must.

The Red Snake had also begun 'migrating' to Fortress No.76.

Master Wang was so absorbed in his work for a few days, finally taking care of his tasks, with the Natural Faction SS-level Spirit Cultivator's visit still days away.

Lingtong had fully recovered and gave himself a week's break.

Daoist Wang faced a dilemma.

He urgently needed a test of Red Dust, but he was pretty inexperienced in this.
