"Well," Wang Wei wiped his mouth with a tissue, "it's very simple, Fei-ge. I've asked about all the functions of your Super Ghost-Searching Device. I know you need time. You need to wait for your exorcism points to recover, then search for ghosts, then wait for the exorcism points to recover again, and then piece together the ghosts. It's like you're already an 8th-level exorcist."
However, you can't yet piece together the peak level 8 ghost martial arts you desire, Li Xunhuan! You'll need several months to meet Li Xunhuan and learn his throwing knives. But during this time, the arena competition could potentially restart at any moment. If you're currently learning peak level 7 ghost martial arts, and by the time the competition arrives, you haven't yet mastered Li Xunhuan's skills, you'll face enemies who may have learned level 9 ghost martial arts. Your chances of winning won't be so high. Although the martial arts you've learned from Xie Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, and even Lu Xiaofeng are all from Gu Long's works, and using them together can amplify their power, but… well, in short, you need time, you need to learn Li Xunhuan's throwing knives! Therefore, the first method I'm offering to increase your strength is… a time artifact! This time artifact is a cave I refined; 100 days inside is equivalent to 1 day outside! A 100' to 1 time ratio! In that case, you can wait inside until you have enough exorcism points, and then go and assemble the level 8 ghost you most want to assemble, Li Xunhuan!
"Ah? There's such a time-traveling artifact! That's great! Brother Wei, lend it to me!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed excitedly.
Gao Jianfei can currently recover 15 million exorcism points per day, while searching for and piecing together Li Xunhuan requires 1 billion exorcism points each.
Now, Gao Jianfei has accumulated 500 million exorcism points, but to meet Li Xunhuan and learn Li Xunhuan's special skills, he needs 500 million exorcism points to recover, which is 100 days!
In the outside world, waiting 100 days is more than three months.
However, entering the time artifact that Wang Wei mentioned only takes one day!
How could Gao Jianfei not be agitated?
Wang Wei continued with a smile, "There's a second way to improve your strength: I'll give you spirit stones! I heard you mention before that you obtained a type of orange ore, which is why your Ghost-Searching Device evolved! I think that orange ore is equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone in our cultivation world. Over the years, I've also collected some top-grade spirit stones on Planet Huaxia. I'll give you some to see if your Ghost-Searching Device can evolve again!"
Wang Wei gave Gao Jianfei two ideas.
First, the time-traveling artifact.
Second, top-grade spirit stones!
Without a doubt, these are two excellent methods!
Chapter 678 The Arena Match Begins!
Wang Wei offered to help his fellow villager Gao Jianfei improve his strength, and explained about the Time Artifact. Gao Jianfei was overjoyed. His anticipation for the Time Artifact was beyond measure. One day inside the Time Artifact was equivalent to 100 days in the outside world. This meant Gao Jianfei only needed one day to directly search and piece together Li Xunhuan's soul and learn his throwing knife technique. Gao Jianfei was extremely interested in Li Xunhuan's throwing knife technique. Previously, he had only learned a rudimentary version of the technique, yet it had allowed him to repeatedly escape danger. He knew that Li Xunhuan's throwing knife technique was definitely a martial art that shattered the void. It could even be said that it transcended the level of martial arts; it was a Dao!
"Brother Wei, put everything else aside, just take out that time artifact first. I'll stay inside for a day first!" Gao Jianfei said impatiently.
"Haha, look at this." Wang Wei opened his right palm, revealing two small house models. One was black, and the other was black. These house models were incredibly lifelike and exquisitely crafted. A faint aura of energy emanated from them. This energy was extremely strange and peculiar, unlike anything Gao Jianfei had ever encountered before. However, there was no doubt that Gao Jianfei could sense an extremely terrifying power emanating from this energy.
Wang Wei explained, “Actually, I have two of these time artifacts, one positive and one negative. They can be combined into a set. The black time chamber, where one day inside is equivalent to 100 days in the outside world, is used to kill time; the white time chamber, where 100 days inside is equivalent to one day in the outside world, is used to gain time for cultivation. Now, you're getting impatient and eager to see Li Xunhuan, so you can use the black time chamber!”
Wang Wei handed the black time chamber to Gao Jianfei and explained how to use it. Gao Jianfei then took all his family members into the ghost den, activated the time chamber, and entered. Meiling also voluntarily followed Gao Jianfei into this time artifact.
Inside the house, everything was in a state of chaos. Gao Jianfei and his family sat on a huge rock, chatting with each other.
The intelligent program immediately said, "Hey, darling, time here flows 100 times slower than in the outside world. However, your exorcism points still recover according to outside time. In other words, one day you stay here is indeed equivalent to 100 days in the outside world. Your exorcism points can also be replenished and recovered at an alarming rate."
“Hmm, I’ll wait here for one day. Tsk tsk, if I were in the outside world, waiting for 100 days would be really boring,” Gao Jianfei said happily.
At this moment, Zheng Cuiyun chuckled, "I've thought of another use for this time-traveling artifact!"
Everyone looked at Zheng Cuiyun with astonishment, wanting to hear this lively girl's whimsical ideas.
Actually, after spending time with her, although Zheng Cuiyun can be quite lively and playful at times, everyone sees this liveliness as cuteness and her natural silliness, which always brings a lot of joy. Therefore, everyone quite likes Zheng Cuiyun.
Zheng Cuiyun said with a chuckle, "Think about it, if you encounter a very powerful enemy, you can hide in this time artifact. One day inside is equivalent to 100 days outside. How amazing is that? In other words, 100 days inside is equivalent to 110,000 days outside. Hehe, that way, you only need to stay inside for a few hundred days, and even the most powerful enemy will die of old age!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard Zheng Cuiyun's words. Her idea was hilarious.
Everyone chatted happily throughout the day, and time flew by.
On this day, Gao Jianfei also achieved his goal, completely piecing together Li Xunhuan's ghost.
"My dear, congratulations! You have finally pieced together Li Xunhuan's soul. Now, you can see him," the intelligent program said happily to Gao Jianfei.
Li Xunhuan was the first level 8 ghost that Gao Jianfei searched and pieced together, and also the strongest level 8 ghost.
With extreme trepidation, nervousness, and excitement, Gao Jianfei ran straight to room number 1 on the 8th floor of the Ghost Den.
He finally met Li Xunhuan!
Compared to when Gao Jianfei first met Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan hadn't changed much. He was still huddled in the corner, sculpting a wooden figure with his nimble, unparalleled hands and his legendary throwing knives. His face and skin were a sickly pale white. But his eyes shone as brightly as the throwing knives, as brightly as the stars!
This is Li Xunhuan!
His throwing knives are more powerful than the Third Young Master's sword! More powerful than Ding Peng's crescent-shaped scimitar! More powerful than Ximen Chuixue's sword!
Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger is said to be a weapon capable of trapping any master in the world.
But he absolutely couldn't catch Li Xunhuan's flying knife!
Gao Jianfei saw a kind of loneliness, a deep longing that went to the bone, in Li Xunhuan's eyes! He coughed incessantly, carefully carving as he picked up a sickle from beside him and gulped down wine.
The strong liquor burned down his throat, and two sickly red patches appeared on his cheeks.
"It's Lin Shiyin. The great hero Li Xunhuan is carving Lin Shiyin. She should have been his woman, but he gave her to his brother. Then, he endured that heart-wrenching pain alone." Gao Jianfei felt a strange impulse surge within him, and almost instantly made a decision… Once the exorcism point recovered somewhat, he would find Lin Shiyin! He would bring her to be with Li Xunhuan! They couldn't be together in life for various reasons, and now, as ghosts, Gao Jianfei could bring them together!
“Searching for a woman like Lin Shiyin doesn’t require many exorcism points! She doesn’t have any special skills either.” Gao Jianfei felt a sense of relief.
"Great Hero Li Xunhuan." Gao Jianfei walked straight over.
Li Xunhuan raised his head, coughed a few times, and then smiled. "Xiao Gao, you've come. You've finally come. You've finally met me in person thanks to your own efforts. Come, sit down and have a drink. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gao Jianfei readily sat down.
Chatting and drinking with Li Xunhuan.
"Great Hero Li Xunhuan, speaking of which, I really should thank you. If it weren't for you teaching me the throwing knife technique, I would have died many times over. Come, let me toast you!" Gao Jianfei also took a cup of wine and drank with Li Xunhuan.
The two chatted for a long time.
Then Gao Jianfei formally learned Li Xunhuan's throwing knives.
Of course, after finding Li Xunhuan, Gao Jianfei left the Time Chamber and went to learn Li Xunhuan's throwing knife skills in normal time.
If you keep studying in that kind of time chamber, one day will pass and then another 100 days will have passed! In fact, Gao Jianfei is unwilling to waste time most of the time.
Before learning Li Xunhuan's throwing knives, Wang Wei called Gao Jianfei over.
First, Hen Wuhen had already beaten Changchunzi Daoist half to death and captured him, ordering Gao Jianfei to execute him. Gao Jianfei killed Changchunzi Daoist with a single sword strike, completing the mission and sharing the 50 billion experience points with Meiling.
In that case, Gao Jianfei only needs 50 billion experience points to upgrade to level 9 Exorcist!
Then, Wang Wei showed some of his treasured top-grade spirit stones to Gao Jianfei.
Let's see if we can improve or upgrade Gao Jianfei's super ghost-finding device.
This is a bright red spirit stone, filled with very strange energy fluctuations.
Suddenly, the intelligent program exclaimed, "Darling! This is a spirit stone of far superior quality to orange ore! It can be used to further modify the Super Ghost-Searching Device! Moreover, you can use this spirit stone for cultivation! Your martial arts, as well as your family's supernatural abilities, can all rely on this spirit stone as a resource for cultivation!"
That's true. This kind of top-grade spirit stone is the highest quality spirit stone on the planet Huaxia. It belongs to the category of rare and precious natural treasures. Cultivators can directly absorb it to obtain energy. However, Wang Wei is already a Nascent Soul stage expert, so he feels somewhat useless to the energy contained in this kind of spirit stone. Otherwise, how could Gao Jianfei have gotten his hands on it?
"Brother Wei, how many of these spirit stones do you have?" Gao Jianfei asked eagerly. "These spirit stones are more than ten times higher quality than the orange ore I got before. They can evolve the Super Ghost-Searching Device once again! I don't even know what kind of Super Ghost-Searching Device it can evolve into! I can also use these spirit stones to cultivate! They are truly treasures! Can you give me more? After we return to Earth, I'll treat you to dinner every day!"
"Hahaha! Brother Fei, you've got it! Okay, good. From now on, when we go back to our hometown, you'll treat me to meals every day! Forget about picking up girls, I'll have to eat a big meal every day! I'll keep some of these spirit stones for my slaves, and the rest are all yours! Anyway, I have the means to add more slaves. Later, when we get tired of playing around on Earth, we can go explore the vast universe, go to those cultivation planets, and plunder spirit stones. From now on, you'll hang out with me. Therefore, your improvement in strength will also benefit me greatly!" Wang Wei naturally had no objections to his good brother Gao Jianfei. He directly took out all the top-grade spirit stones in his inventory. He distributed some to the slaves with cultivation talent, and gave the rest to Gao Jianfei.
The top-grade spirit stones that Gao Jianfei obtained could probably fill a small house of about 20 square meters!
The intelligent program took half of the spirit stones and modified the Super Ghost Searching Device!
Gao Jianfei saved some, then took a dozen or so for his own cultivation. Each family member then received two top-grade spirit stones to cultivate their special abilities.
With the help of top-grade spirit stones, Gao Jianfei's learning of Li Xunhuan's throwing knife technique was so advanced that he surpassed his master!
He learned the ultimate skill of Little Li's Flying Dagger and used top-grade spirit stones to enhance this skill!
Originally, Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger was capable of instantly killing any Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, with the enhancement of top-grade spirit stones, Gao Jianfei can now kill any Golden Core cultivator with a single strike!
Of course, these throwing knives cannot be fired continuously. They also consume a great deal of mental energy. Currently, in Gao Jianfei's current state, he can fire five throwing knives at once!
In other words, Gao Jianfei could instantly kill five Golden Core stage cultivators in a very short time!
Their skills have improved dramatically!
"Haha, Fei-ge, with your current strength, you're more than capable of making a living on Planet Huaxia. As long as you don't encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator or get surrounded by dozens of Golden Core cultivators, you're invincible!" Wang Wei said with satisfaction. "It seems this arena competition is just giving you experience. You'll definitely be number one! You'll easily get first place!"
Gao Jianfei was also delighted.
As for Gao Jianfei's family, they obtained top-grade spirit stones, which they used to cultivate their supernatural abilities. They collectively advanced to diamond-level supernatural beings.
Zhuo Xiaowei even made another breakthrough, becoming a superhuman surpassing the Diamond level. Gao Jianfei named this level of superhuman ability Zhuo Xiaowei possessed 'Immortal'.
Immortal-level superhuman!
At this moment, both the intelligent program and Meiling simultaneously told Gao Jianfei...
"The arena competition will begin the day after tomorrow! All the exorcists who were out on missions have begun to return to Planet Excellence one after another!"
Gao Jianfei patted Wang Wei on the shoulder. "Brother Wei, we should go to Ocean Planet together. You're a guest, and I'm a contestant, let's participate in the arena battle together!"
"Alright, let's go!" Wang Wei said with a faint smile. Haha, finally we can leave this godforsaken planet China!
At this moment, Meiling was also on the phone with Zhuoyue, telling him that she had found the user of the Super Slave Master, who was also a guest of this arena competition, Wang Wei.
The requirement is to obtain a spatial teleportation coordinate and teleport Wang Wei and all of his subordinates to the ocean planet.
Zhuoyue, unsuspecting, directly sent a spatial teleportation coordinate to Meiling's intelligent program.
So, Wang Wei's slaves stored all the treasures he had accumulated over the years into their spatial rings. The group, all smiles, teleported back to the ocean planet.
Upon arriving on the ocean planet, Zhuoyue immediately requested to see Wang Wei.
Wang Wei took Gao Jianfei with him to Zhuoyue's office. Once there, Wang Wei immediately declared that Gao Jianfei was his brother!
Zhuoyue was dumbfounded!
He had already sensed that Wang Wei possessed a terrifying ability—the ability to create earth-shattering vortexes on ocean planets!
This is the power of cultivation!
Moreover, Wang Wei's Super Slave Master software, because it incorporated some spiritual stones from the cultivation world, is also software that Zhuoyue cannot uninstall.
Therefore, Zhuoyue dared not offend Wang Wei at all!
Moreover, he doesn't even dare to offend Gao Jianfei now.
Because Gao Jianfei is Wang Wei's brother! The two come from the same planet, the same country, the same province, and the same city!
What a coincidence!
Zhuoyue was completely dumbfounded. Originally, he had been scheming to extract some secrets from Gao Jianfei about the minerals used to modify the Super Ghost Detector software. Now, he dared not even think about it anymore.
Gao Jianfei laughed. "Master Zhuoyue, you don't need to scheme against me anymore. However, to repay you for providing me with the Super Slave Master and Super Ghost Finder software, as well as my brother Wang Wei, I'll tell you some information. On that cultivation planet, Huaxia Planet, there are many spirit stones that can be used to modify the Super Ghost Finder. If you have the chance in the future, you can send someone there to find it yourself."
Wang Wei had told Gao Jianfei that their software was currently being evolved using top-grade spirit stones, therefore, no matter how much Zhuoyue researched, he couldn't develop a tool to uninstall Gao Jianfei's and Wang Wei's software. Therefore, telling Zhuoyue some secrets wouldn't hurt, and would also prevent Zhuoyue from worrying about it all the time.
Furthermore, Huaxia Planet is a cultivation planet with a large number of advanced cultivators. Those top-grade spirit stones are almost all controlled by cultivators in the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage. Zhuoyue simply does not have the power to explore and obtain such spirit stones.
After Wang Wei and Gao Jianfei left Zhuoyue's office, Gao Jianfei suddenly said, "Brother Wei, I admire you more and more! You're quite shrewd!"
