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

Chapter 8 Taoist Priest, Times Have Changed

'I never thought that I would end up like this.'

Wang Jixuan really didn't expect this.

Just to reach the Qi training stage, he worked hard for nineteen days and nights without sleep and forget about food before he could barely enter!

If it weren't for meditation to replace sleep, it might take him a month!

When Wang Jixuan first started practicing in his previous life, a wisp of internal energy was born when he meditated for the first time. It took him half a month to complete the Great Circulation, and less than a month for the energy to be full. It took him less than a hundred days in total to enter the state of gathering the spirit, and began to condense the three souls and seven spirits to become a god of his own.

Although there are many factors, the most important one is that the spiritual energy in the current world is relatively thin, far less than the world of my previous life, and this body is more than 20 years old, and most of the meridians are blocked...

Fortunately, he still stepped in.

Wang Jixuan clenched his fists, and a breath of air swirled and hovered under his skin.

The punch he threw out now had almost the same force as when he used the Vajra Mantra before, and it would not hurt himself.

Qi exists between the skin, blood and flesh, and is the beginning of Qi training.

Wang Jixuan calculated carefully that in order to reach the state of full aura, it would take at least four or five months according to the current speed of practice.

The threat from the Black Fire Gang is imminent.

He has lived in this safe house for a long time and has gone out three times to find food. There is no guarantee that the news will not leak out.

As long as this matter is not settled, he will have no peace.

"I have already entered the stage of Qi training, and it is time to settle accounts with them."

Wang Jixuan shook his sleeves out of habit, then found himself sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed in only his underwear, and couldn't help laughing.

He jumped up, and a breath of air circulated from his body along the meridian route that he had opened up with great difficulty, making his steps extremely light and his perception more sensitive.

Turning on the faucet, Wang Jixuan quickly cleaned the dirt discharged from the pores.

Water is the only free resource in the fortress;

Accompanied by the sound of water, Wang Jixuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He had decided to take the initiative, so he had to be fully prepared.

Captain Zhou sent messages several times, the most recent one being four days ago, when Wang Jixuan went out to buy emergency food and received a note with Captain Zhou's mark on it. The note said that the Black Fire Gang was putting increasing pressure on Captain Zhou, and Captain Zhou might expel Wang Jixuan from the safe house at any time.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is a good official. When I have improved my cultivation and can make elixirs, I will give him a few more longevity pills as a thank you."

"In the Black Fire Gang, the biggest threat is the hidden weapons called guns."

"It is best to catch the leader of the Black Fire Gang first. He is the root of all evil."

According to Wang Jixuan's understanding, the entire lower city was in chaos, and the Black Fire Gang should have a large number of people. It would not be easy for him now to take the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of enemies.

Wang Jixuan was thinking about some questions that he had never thought about when he was practicing hard in his previous life.

When monks fight, it’s all about weapons and techniques.

The spells of low-level monks can be simply divided into three categories: incantations, talismans, and control of instruments.

[Spell] Using fixed spells to mobilize the power of the soul and spirit, drive spiritual energy, and condense spells is the most basic method.

He had used them several times before, such as the Calming Mantra, the Fire Control Mantra, and the Divine Movement Mantra.

[Talisman] refers to the secret talismans drawn on special talisman paper, which condense part of the magic power in the talisman. The advantage is that the talisman can be directly thrown out to cast spells during a fight, and the way of talismans is varied. It is common for high-level monks in a sect to prepare some protective talismans for low-level monks.

Wang Jixuan then prepared to get some talismans to protect himself. Although he was not very proficient in this, he had several talisman books in his mind.

The problem is the right talisman paper and spiritual fluid.

[Control the instrument] - means to control the magical instrument.

There are prohibitions engraved inside and outside the magic weapon. The most basic magic weapon can be injected with magic power, absorb spiritual energy, and be used to kill the enemy and win.

The simplest magical instruments include peach wood swords and amulets. Slightly more advanced magical instruments include Qiankun Ring and sword balls used for sword-controlling techniques. High-level magical instruments are also called magic weapons, and there are countless categories.

Refining equipment is something Wang Jixuan is relatively good at, but now, he only has various metal objects that he is not very familiar with, making it difficult for him to make full use of them.

A good cook cannot cook without rice;

The Taoist priest had no magical weapon to use.

Wang Jixuan's favorite sword-controlling technique requires one to reach the fourth stage of foundation building before one can begin to practice it, and forging the sword ball also requires some precious materials.

There is no sign of these, so don’t consider them for now.

"Now we can try to get some talismans to protect ourselves, but where can we find the talisman paper and spiritual liquid?"

Wang Jixuan stared at the mirror in a daze.

goo goo-

There was a rumbling sound from my stomach.

Wang Jixuan smiled bitterly. He had not yet completed the foundation building and still needed grains, meat and eggs.

Turn your head and glance at the food cabinet;

Empty.

Because he had not been to work for twenty days in a row, the three types of quotas issued this month were halved at the same time, and the numbers on his quota card were already in jeopardy.

……

Eating is the top priority for the residents of the fortress.

Among all kinds of material supply gaps, food shortage has always been a problem that cannot be avoided.

If it were not for the technology of artificially synthesizing starch, which allows the fortress to exchange electricity for food, and if it were not for the fortress's intelligent management and control center to dispatch all resources around the clock, Fortress No. 76 would not be able to feed so many people.

Wang Jixuan put on a mask and a cap, wrapped in a gray jacket that he had exchanged for the universal quota when he went out last time, and rushed to the emergency food vending machine that he had scouted last time. Food vending machines are usually set up in circular gardens where [capillary passages] intersect. There will be some simple green belts here, and some fitness equipment in better places.

When Wang Jixuan went out, he deliberately chose normal working hours, which was the quietest time in the Midtown residential area.

He was actually also considering a problem - if he didn't work, he would have no food quota and he would starve to death before he could finish his fast.

'After we resolve the matter with the Black Fire Gang, I will also go and do some manual labor.'

"Just follow the local customs. I am not an ignorant person or a lazy person."

"Even if my fellow students knew about this, they would definitely make fun of me."

Wang Jixuan chuckled to himself.

Because his practice was generally going smoothly, he felt a little more happy at this moment.

After walking for a few minutes, I stepped into the circular public area and the Target food vending machine came into view.

It has a square shape, with only a narrow display window and a simple card swiping area on the front, and the entire vehicle is made of high-strength alloy.

If you get closer, you can see two lines of faded promotional slogans on the cabinet.

[Don't sing praises to power, that's just flattery. ]

【We should praise the workers, they deserve to be praised. 】

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He likes these two slogans.

He took out the credit card from his pocket and placed it close to the card swiping area. Personal information and a food list appeared on the interactive screen. Wang Jixuan still chose the emergency food with the lowest food quota. Following the advice of the 'Dietary Assistant' in the corner of the screen, he spent 3 food quotas to buy a bottle of multinutrients.

The machine made a humming sound. Wang Jixuan had learned from Mu Liang's memory that this was the conveyor belt inside the machine working...

Ok?
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense had begun to recover, and he suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

He turned his head slightly, and from the entrance of the [capillary passage] on the left rear, two figures rushed out quickly, stopped at the intersection and looked over here.

They were wearing green sports jerseys and their bodies were bulging with muscles.

This dress...

Exactly the same as the two guys that Dr. Wei Na let go that day.

Black Fire Gang!
Wang Jixuan stood still, trying to relax his body, waiting for the food he bought to fall to the exit below.

Two burly men in sportswear not far away looked at Wang Jixuan's figure with frowns. They were not sure whether this was the target they were looking for, but they had already reached into his arms.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Several bags of food landed inside the food access opening under the machine.

Wang Jixuan bent over, squatted, and slowly pulled the bag out as if nothing had happened.

"Mu Liang?"

The sturdy man on the left frowned and shouted.

Wang Jixuan did not react at all, his breathing was steady and his movements were natural.

The burly man on the right narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on the display screen of the food vending machine, and looking at the personal interface that was about to disappear in two seconds, he suddenly pulled out a pistol from his arms!
Murderous intent!
Wang Jixuan made the decision almost instantly and threw the two large bags of emergency food in the faces of the two burly men in sportswear.

boom!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out!

Accompanied by a flash of fire from the muzzle, a bullet shot out!

Wang Jixuan was greatly alarmed, and his own soul power was automatically activated. He almost saw the bullet that was about to pass by his scalp. He tried his best to control his muscles and bones and jumped backwards.

There was an immediate stinging pain in my forehead!

The scalp was scratched and the baseball cap was blown off!

Wang Jixuan completed a backflip and supported himself on the ground with one hand, then dodged to the right like a spring.

Those two large bags of emergency food were of certain weight in themselves, and they were thrown out by Wang Jixuan, who had already entered the Qi training realm. After hitting one of the men, they made it difficult for him to hold his gun.

But after the other man fired the first shot, his adrenaline surged, and he frantically pulled the trigger at the corner of the food vending machine.

Gunshots rang out!

Wang Jixuan narrowly hid behind a food vending machine. The pleasant sound of bullets hitting the alloy made both sides tense.

Infinite Heavenly Lord!

Is this thing so powerful?

Wang Jixuan held his breath and searched quickly, but did not find a suitable shelter.

The roars of these two people were heard from the side:
"Don't waste bullets!"

"I'll jump over!"

A sturdy man rushed forward quickly with a gun in both hands. He did not rush directly towards the vending machine. He only needed to find the right angle to shoot at Wang Jixuan.

He is ready to take a big leap forward!

Wang Jixuan clearly sensed the opponent's intention, and the other opponent had locked the space above his head. As long as he showed his head, he would be shot by the opponent.

Between lightning and flint!

The sturdy man rushed forward and jumped forward with great force, his finger about to pull the trigger.

Wang Jixuan's eyes glowed with golden light!
The spell that I recited silently in advance has come to an end!
Let me roam freely, and follow the natural way!
He suddenly ducked his body and rushed forward, his whole body emitting a faint golden light. Today's magic spell was several times more powerful than the last time he performed it!
But this time he used the trance spell not to escape!

Wang Jixuan dived forward at an extremely fast speed and rolled around. Before he stood up completely, he threw out a folding knife hidden in his sleeve. There was a layer of light breath wrapped around the blade.

That was the energy that Wang Jixuan had condensed with great difficulty!
The sturdy man who jumped forward quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, and the movement of raising his arm and Wang Jixuan swinging the knife happened almost simultaneously!
boom!
