The system is the proficiency panel

The hatch slowly opened, and Garnier's figure appeared at the door. Her long silver hair fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, her blood-red pupils reflected the lights of Tianshu City, and a hint of curiosity was revealed in her indifference.

As an AI, she couldn't observe the world directly with her eyes. It was the exploration system of the spacecraft that gave her this ability. She slowly scanned the surroundings and finally fixed her eyes on the central tower - that was the core of Tianshu City. Countless runes flowed on its surface, like the trajectory of stars, outputting huge spiritual power to supply the operation of the entire Tianshu City.

"This is... Tianshu City?"

Garnier asked softly, his tone less mechanical and cold, and more of an imperceptible fluctuation.

"Well, this is the central area of ​​Tianshu City. The formations around it are enough to block any prying eyes. You can rest assured."

Xiao Ningxue nodded and her eyes softened a little. The weak little girl's appearance of Garnier reminded her of how she was at a loss when she first arrived at Xuantian Sect.

Garnier did not respond, but walked down the spaceship slowly like a human being. Her bare feet stepped on the bluestone slabs, and each step was as light as a cat, but with a sense of alienation that was out of tune with this world. She looked up at the sky. It was night time, and the sky was dotted with stars, which was completely different from the starry sky of the Karel galaxy.

"Your stars...are arranged in a very special way."

She whispered, a glimmer of reminiscence in her blood-red eyes.

Luo Youran walked forward, followed her gaze, and smiled slightly.

“The starry sky of Kaiyang may not be as magnificent as that of the Karel Galaxy, but for us, it also carries countless legends and hopes.”

Garnier was silent for a moment, then suddenly pointed to the hall in the distance. She could sense signs of spatial fluctuations there, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand, and her fingertips gently brushed the air, as if she was sensing the flow of energy around her.

"what is that?"

"That is the Formation Hall, where the formation masters of Tianshu City study, practice, and experiment."

Xiao Ningxue explained, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

A hint of interest flashed in Garnier's eyes. She raised her hand and lightly stroked the air with her fingertips, as if sensing the flow of energy around her.

"Your formation... is indeed somewhat special. The fusion of spiritual power and technology may open up a new path."

When Xiao Ningxue heard Garnier's comment, she took a step forward and spoke softly.

"Garnier, how far can you get away from the spaceship in this posture? If you are interested, I can take you to visit the Formation Hall. Your scientific and technological knowledge can provide us with new ideas."

"City Lord Xiao, please excuse me. My image can only be one kilometer away from the spaceship."

Carniel nodded slightly. She was indeed interested. Those enemies arrived too quickly back then and the Karel people were destroyed before they could make any progress in their research on spiritual power. She would not repeat the same mistake this time.

Listening to the conversation between Xiao Ningxue and Garnier, Luo Youran looked at the fiery red sunset, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and spoke.

"Ningxue, I'll leave Garnier to you. I have something else to do and I have to go back to Xuantian City first."

"Go ahead. Don't force yourself if you're in trouble. I don't want my husband to come back and say we're not getting along."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Ningxue's words. She waved goodbye gently and asked Garnier to visit the Formation Hall first.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

The expression on Luo Youran's face was a little helpless. He touched the ring on his hand, and after a spatial fluctuation, he disappeared on the spot.

……

After a busy month, deep in the Formation Hall of Tianshu City, several core personnel from the Formation Hall and the Weapon Refining Hall stood silently by, looking forward to the results of this month.

The silver-white metal base unfolds in the shape of a hexagram, with intricate Karel technology patterns etched on the surface, interwoven into a web with runes commonly seen in the world of cultivation. Dark blue spiritual energy pulsates through the patterns like blood vessels.

A fist-sized sky thunder crystal core is suspended in the center. The inside of the pitch-black crystal is densely covered with golden threads, and lightning flashes through it like a dragon. The outside of the crystal core is wrapped with three circles of nested ring-shaped mechanical devices, which are made of lightning magnets. Every time it rotates a circle, it emits a subtle hum, which confines the energy within.

Twelve spiritual power conduits extend from the bottom of the device. Liquid spiritual light can be seen flowing in the translucent material. The end is connected to an interface cast from black iron for accessing spiritual energy or spiritual stone energy.

At the top is a column-shaped output terminal that emits a hint of cold air. The surface is covered with a scaly energy sensing layer. When electric current jumps on it, fine bluish-purple arcs will appear.

The dark blue spiritual energy circulates on the experimental table, interweaving with the silver-white mechanical structure, forming a strange and harmonious picture.

Xiao Ningxue stood in front of the stage, tapping her fingertips. Runes condensed in the air with her movements, and then embedded into the prototype of the psychic converter in the center. Her white hair was illuminated by the spiritual light, like a falling river of stars, and her eyes were focused and calm.

Garnier floated aside, quietly watching the psychic converter start up, with data streams flashing rapidly in his blood-red pupils.

"The conversion rate of spiritual power into electrical energy is very ideal. Normal absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy is enough to continuously supply electricity to large cities. The only problem is whether the magnetic field restraint device cast by the thunder magnet can operate stably for a long time. If something goes wrong here, the destructive power caused by the leakage of the Sky Thunder Crystal Core electricity is no less than an attack by the artistic conception foundation."

"Danger, the lightning magnet is already overloaded by 15%. It is estimated that it can last for another hour. Please reduce the spiritual energy input and conversion frequency."

Garnier's voice remained calm, but there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Xiao Ningxue nodded slightly, and the spiritual power in her fingertips was withdrawn, and the light of the rune dimmed a little. She turned her head to look at Garnier and asked.

"What now?"

Garnier closed his eyes for a moment and nodded.

"It's stable. With this conversion efficiency, the Sky Thunder Crystal Core can be fully charged in three days. But the output efficiency is still not enough. We just need to enlarge the output port. According to calculations, we need to increase the output rate by at least 20% to meet your needs for plasma beam weapons. Each attack can safely and stably reach the power of a single state of mind."

Xiao Ningxue sighed softly, her eyes falling on the mountain of discarded materials next to the experimental table. Over the past month, the Equipment Refining Hall has tried many combinations of spiritual materials, but has never been able to break through the bottleneck.

This is also because foundation-building spiritual materials are relatively precious and cannot be wasted.

Yu Yue, who was standing aside, was watching with great interest. She turned around and saw that although her apprentice's expression had not changed, after spending so much time together, she knew that the other party was a little anxious, so she reminded him in a low voice.

"Ningxue, the psychic energy converter is almost entirely made of Qi training-level spiritual materials. The cost-effectiveness is already high enough. We have plenty of time, so there is no rush."

"Yes, Master."

Putting away her slightly disappointed mood, Xiao Ningxue turned around and gave instructions to Hu Lingling and the people around her who were eager to try.

"Lingling, you come to carry out the next weapon test, and the others should come over and take a look."

After saying that, Xiao Ningxue took the lead and walked towards the testing site. As an ordinary foundation-building cultivator who had not yet attained the artistic conception, Hu Lingling had been looking forward to this kind of weapon that could rival the artistic conception foundation-building cultivator for a long time. She smiled proudly at her father Hu Xiatian, with excitement flashing in her eyes, and then took small steps to catch up with Xiao Ningxue, her face full of impatience.
