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

Cultivators who frequently refine weapons know that blacksmithing is actually a skill that ordinary people possess.

Wang Ji Xuan also felt a little awkward.

He is currently only a Qi Gathering stage cultivator, unable to directly melt precious materials in his palm, nor does he have a suitable forging cauldron. Even if he had one, he wouldn't have enough mana to activate it, so he can only use this relatively primitive method.

But this is much better than when he made the Bone Piercing Needles before…

Back then, he bent them by hand.

Blacksmithing materials also have an advantage, which is that spiritual energy can be continuously introduced into the blade blank during the forging process, slightly improving its quality.

The blade blank gradually took shape. Because there weren't too many materials, this was just a small knife to verify the feasibility of this type of magical artifact.

Soon, Wang Ji Xuan reheated the blade blank, brought it in front of him, and in front of Uncle Tai, he formed a sword finger with two fingers together and quickly carved two sets of simple restrictions on the front and back.

Uncle Tai was dumbfounded: "Holy crap! What kind of ruthless iron hand is that!"

Wang Ji Xuan smiled without saying a word, concentrating on the blade blank. The most critical and important step had arrived.

He puffed out his cheeks and spat out a ball of dantian Qi. The restriction patterns outside the blade blank were instantly lit up, and the entire interior of the blade blank formed a self-constructed path according to the shape of the restrictions!

Strands of spiritual energy gathered towards the blade blank.

Wang Ji Xuan moved quickly, quenching, re-forging, and hammering again. Next was to give it sharpness.

Overall, it was easy.

Uncle Tai's Adam's apple trembled slightly beside him.

Although Uncle Tai was just an ordinary mortal and couldn't understand what was happening here, his intuition told him…

The psionic user was forging a psionic weapon using psionic methods.

Could it be that he really had to choose between spicy iron anvil and garlic-flavored iron hammer?

'Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud just now, just thought about it in my mind.'

…

Ling Tong didn't return to the supply station until after 4 a.m.

Even a battle machine like an iron man looked a little tired when she came back.

When she walked into the main workshop, she noticed that everyone was still awake, so she forced herself to cheer up, her pretty face tightened, and she held a pile of paper materials in her hand.

Huh?

Ling Tong was a little doubtful that she had seen something wrong.

Next to the operating table, Wang Ji Xuan had his two feet on the edge of the table, his body leaning in the swivel chair. On the left was Wan Xiaoqi, vigorously fanning Wang Ji Xuan, and on the right was Uncle Tai, holding tea and bowing.

Ling Tong frowned and asked, "Are you… playing some kind of role-playing game?"

"Hey!"

Uncle Tai looked up at Ling Tong and said seriously:

"Commander Ling Tong, don't speak so harshly, don't startle our future special-grade, no, human-treasure-grade mechanic! That wouldn't be good!"

"Hahaha!"

Wan Xiaoqi laughed beside her. Sister Wan was on the second floor holding a cup of industrial coffee, a little unable to watch.

"Hmm?" Ling Tong tilted her head and looked around.

Wang Ji Xuan asked with a smile, "How's your side?"

"Some gains."

Ling Tong immediately stepped forward, and Wan Xiaoqi quickly moved a chair to the side.

Ling Tong handed the information to Wang Ji Xuan, and Wang Ji Xuan put a 'fruit knife' on the table. Under Uncle Tai's eye signal, Ling Tong picked up the small knife and carefully observed it.

Huh?

Energy reaction?

Although the energy reaction was very weak, it was indeed an energy reaction similar to psionic energy!

"Can you briefly explain what's going on?"

Wang Ji Xuan returned the information in his hand to Ling Tong and asked proactively:

"I don't understand many of the professional terms on this, especially some of the data."

"We found a pseudo-B-grade defective psionic user in the Psionic Home's laboratory."

Ling Tong said quickly:

"This psionic user should have been a rare B-grade psionic user, but there was a certain error in the process of him receiving psionic infusion, and his body quickly collapsed, so he can only rely on a nutrient solution to maintain his life."

"His specific ability has not yet been found out, and the power at the Psionic Capital level has already intervened."

"However, I can be sure that the only singularity of the Psionic Home is him."

"His life should only have less than half a year left. He has previously contributed dozens of papers for more than a dozen well-known scholars. Qin Qin brought him here to do research."

Wang Ji Xuan asked, "What's his name?"

"Meng Caiyuan."

Ling Tong rubbed her neck. Wang Ji Xuan quickly stood up and started giving her a massage.

Ling Tong continued:

"The front-line headquarters sent Meng Caiyuan's information. He had taken action three times to help other war zones with some operations."

"His ability should be to simulate a higher-ranking Blade Beast ordering a lower-ranking Blade Beast."

"The sound of pigeons you captured is most likely what he sent out, which was spread to the distant Blade Beasts after being amplified by a special amplifier."

Wang Ji Xuan frowned and said, "Can't we use this as a reason to directly eliminate them?"

"There is no concrete evidence. The above information was all left behind by Meng Caiyuan when he participated in operations in other war zones before."

Ling Tong said:

"His short life is coming to an end. He is a failure."

"Otherwise, Qin Qin is just a researcher, and it would be impossible for her to get him for research."

Wang Ji Xuan said with emotion: "It's quite miserable to be studied even when you're about to die… Can you determine what the content of the signal he sent out last night was?"

"My whereabouts, most likely! Qin Qin should want to avenge Lu Dongjie, who I killed, but these are all guesses without evidence."

Ling Tong's tone had a bit of eagerness:

"Now, a young Queen Insect and a pseudo-B-grade special psionic user are both staring at me."

"But don't worry."

"The reinforcements from the front line will arrive in the morning. I will act as bait to attract the beast swarm into terrain that is favorable to us."

"The Psionic Home has now been sealed off. As long as Blade Beasts appear near our fortress next—although it is more likely that the young Queen Insect brought them—we can directly treat it as evidence of their treason and betrayal of humanity."

"Our real enemy is only the Blade Beasts. These psionic users are just some carrion, so don't pay too much attention to them."

Wang Ji Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked proactively, "Can I act with you?"

"Going to dig crystal cores again?"

"Partly."

"It's best not to."

Ling Tong said:

"What follows is very likely to evolve into a local war, not the minor conflict in the mine last time."

"The battle situation may be very intense, and it will be difficult for psionic users below C-grade to play a role."

"The front-line psionic special forces team will also arrive later. They are important combat power, so you better not expose yourself in front of them."

Wang Ji Xuan didn't insist much.

He doesn't like to force others to change their minds.

Wang Ji Xuan instead asked, "Then can the Black Storm be exposed?"

"That's okay. They were originally investigating the Black Storm, just try not to associate Wang Zheng with the Black Storm."

"Okay," Wang Ji Xuan nodded in agreement.

Uncle Tai raised his hand beside him and shouted like he was offering a treasure, "Ling Tong, quickly try that small knife! Don't poke yourself!"

"Huh? Is this a very powerful weapon?"

"Look over here!"

Uncle Tai ran to the corner in a flurry and hugged a composite alloy plate, saying quickly:

"The hardness of this composite material is equivalent to the hardness of the active frontal armor of a basic Blade Beast! Hurry up and try it! Get close to it! Be careful, wait for a light blue light to appear on the blade! Yes! That's it! Stab it!"

Clang!

The dagger pierced through the alloy plate to the hilt.

Uncle Tai howled excitedly twice, "Awesome!"

Ling Tong was also stunned.

Wang Ji Xuan reminded, "After each use, it takes about twelve seconds to accumulate energy before the blue light reappears. This is just the initial version. Next, I will continue to improve the process."

Ling Tong looked up at him, her bright eyes with a bit more fluctuation: "You made it?"

The latest novels are available at 69shu.com!

"Yes, this is a sample."

"Can it be mass-produced?"

"It's a bit difficult for the time being, but I will continue to explore."

Ling Tong nodded calmly and asked softly, "Then can I take it to make a report?"

Wang Ji Xuan said instead, "Why don't you wait until I make a mass-producible version, because I don't know if I can improve it successfully. If it's just produced in small quantities, then it's not of much significance. My own energy is limited… Later, I will donate the forging technology of this weapon to Zhou Zhengde's grandfather's forces for free."

Uncle Tai said sternly, "And I will be Wang's exclusive assistant, shamelessly taking advantage of this honor that is enough to make history!"

"Okay," Ling Tong nodded slowly, "It's a pity that it's a close-range weapon, which can only be used as a soldier's last resort on the battlefield. If you can make this kind of long-range weapon…"

"There may not be enough mines to consume," Wang Ji Xuan said, "Uncle Tai checked the few ores I used, and the current production is limited."

"You mechanics are professional in this regard. You can always come to me for any needs."

Ling Tong solemnly placed the dagger on the table next to her, stared at it for a while, and a clear smile crossed the corner of her mouth:

"Give it a name."

Wang Ji Xuan said casually, "Demon Breaker Dagger."

"So ordinary," Wan Xiaoqi muttered softly, "Why not call it Three Thousand Ways to Take Your Life!"

Uncle Tai pondered for a few seconds: "Let's get a code name for now, to avoid leakage! Use this official name after it's done… How about calling it [Ling Tong 071 Project]?"

"There's no need to use my name," Ling Tong said helplessly.

"You are the leader of the team! This is a chance to make history! After fighting the Blade Beasts and repairing the family tree in the future, this can occupy a page alone!" Uncle Tai shouted earnestly.

Sister Wan brought a bowl of steaming noodles and said softly, "Ling Tong, take a rest, eat something and go to catch up on sleep, let them do their own thing."

"Okay," Ling Tong was indeed a little sleepy.

She took two steps, then turned her head to look at Wang Ji Xuan and said, "Thank you."

Daoist Wang's forehead was covered with question marks.

"For my fallen comrades," Ling Tong said.

Wang Ji Xuan smiled kindly.

… …

Ling Tong fell asleep quickly after eating. Wang Ji Xuan continued to ponder the method of refining weapons.

The supply station finally quieted down at dawn.

The silence revealed a trace of peace and serenity.

In contrast, the Spirit Energy Home on the third floor of the fortress was shrouded in gloom. Everywhere were soldiers of the Purge Force patrolling with live ammunition.

Qin Qin sat behind her desk, raising her hand to gently rub her brow.

She couldn't figure it out.

She absolutely couldn't figure out how she was discovered!

The relevant technology of spirit energy users was in the hands of the City of Spirit Energy. It was impossible for the military to detect the wave traces sent by Meng Caiyuan!

But now, the military had detected it!

Ling Tong suddenly barged in with people, accusing them of violating a series of laws and military regulations. She also sealed their laboratory and seized her hard-won research samples.

Her thesis was almost finished!

Qin Qin took a light breath, trying to calm herself and think.

She was beginning to understand why Kong Nu had died tragically in Fortress 76… This place was different from other places. The spirit energy users, who should have been the guardians of the fortress, were branded as villains. Elsewhere, they still relied on spirit energy users to deal with small groups of Blade Beasts and offset the threat posed by Mimic Blade Beasts.

It was very strange.

The atmosphere here was very strange to her.

Of course, Qin Qin knew what she had Meng Caiyuan do.

Meng Caiyuan's ability was to communicate with Blade Beasts and simulate the signals of high-ranking Blade Beasts. Previously, he had cooperated with the military in other war zones several times, misleading the Blade Beast hordes.

What she had Meng Caiyuan do tonight was to send information to the Blade Beasts within range, allowing these Blade Beasts to spread the information to higher-level Blade Beasts, spreading the false message that [Ling Tong is here and is seriously injured and near death].

One of Qin Qin's three specialties was the social structure analysis of Blade Beasts. She fully understood the activity patterns of these Blade Beasts.

This kind of misleading information would easily lead to Ling Tong being besieged, and the Blade Beast horde attacking the outer C area. Then she could play the role of savior, using her connections to invite powerful spirit energy users from the City of Spirit Energy in advance to wipe out the surging Blade Beasts!

Reshaping the glorious image of their Thirteenth Research Institute in this industrial fortress!

But now, at the very beginning, something had gone wrong…

She had been discovered for no reason!

Ling Tong had already asserted that Meng Caiyuan was summoning Blade Beasts. In the next few days, if Blade Beasts really appeared in and around Fortress 76…

Qin Qin felt like she was one step away from being finished.

'How did Ling Tong discover it? Has the military broken through the relevant technology?'

'Forget it, it's useless to think about this. I can only seek help for strong intervention.'

Qin Qin looked at the communicator at hand.

She knew that the military had deliberately left her communicator behind in order to involve the City of Spirit Energy and turn this matter into a handle to attack the City of Spirit Energy.

This was an open conspiracy, but she had to step into it to protect herself.

"How did they discover it?"

Qin Qin muttered to herself, still unable to figure it out as she scrolled through the 'Old Pervert' group in her chat list.

At the same time.

Deep in the Sari Desert.

Facing the morning sun, the young King Worm buried its body in the sand, slowly opening its mandibles to absorb the spiritual energy of the world. The vertical pupil, still oozing blood, stared in the direction of Fortress Seventy-Six.

The figures reflected in its vertical pupil numbered three in total.

The blurry figure in the nutrient cabin in the corner of the Spirit Energy Home laboratory;

Ling Tong, who was currently catching up on sleep and recuperating;

And Daoist Wang, who had already obtained the second batch of ore, shirtless, and was banging away at forging iron.

[Multiple threats… confirmed… ]
