Chapter 64 Freely Choose 1 Spiritual Weapon
"My God, this method, which looks so unreliable, actually broke this evil energy formation."
Xiao Cai exclaimed in surprise, "Your colleague is amazing!"
"My colleague..."
Zhu Que had some doubts in his heart.
Sun Zheng is now in the same fifth class as him, but he said he learned the evil energy formation when he was a child.
But a family that can learn the evil energy formation when they are young can't possibly be a fifth-class family, right?
Why did he end up as a fifth-class person working in a landfill?
It seems Sun Zheng is also hiding some secret...
Zhu Que put the matter aside for the time being, turned on his flashlight, and entered the cave with Xiao Cai.
The air inside the cave was cold and damp, with a musty and rotten smell.
Xiao Cai followed nervously behind him, her little hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, seemingly a little scared.
Zhu Que laughed and said, "Have you no backbone? You're a cultivator, after all. What are you afraid of?"
"Isn't it normal for girls to be afraid of ghosts...?"
Xiao Cai weakly retorted.
"ah!!"
Zhu Que let out a strange cry without warning.
"Mommy!!"
Xiao Cai was terrified.
Like a frightened kitten, she clung tightly to Zhu Que's neck with both hands and her legs wrapped tightly around his waist.
His eyes were tightly closed, his face was deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling.
"Whhh...what is that? Is there a ghost? Is there a ghost?"
"Hahaha, there's a ghost, a coward."
Zhu Que couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"?"
Xiao Cai opened her eyes, paused for two seconds, and then realized what was happening—
Zhu Que was deliberately trying to scare her.
"You, you, you..."
She jumped down angrily, her face flushed red, and punched Zhu Que hard several times.
"You annoying brat!"
"I'm not going to argue with you anymore."
Zhu Que smiled and shone his flashlight to examine the cave. "Isn't it supposed to be haunted? It seems like there's nothing there."
The cave is very large; it was probably used as a warehouse in the past.
It not only has running water and electricity, but also a kitchen and a washing area.
Although it has been deserted for many years, it is covered with a thick layer of dust.
However, with a little tidying up and the placement of a replica of the Time Realm pod, it becomes a perfect cultivation space!
Xiao Cai muttered, "In such a godforsaken place, even if there were ghosts, they would have disappeared long ago."
"Since there are no ghosts, there's no need to hire someone to exorcise them. A simple tidying up will make it habitable."
"You're going to stay here?" Xiao Cai asked in surprise.
"What else? You want to move in too?" Zhu Que glanced at her.
"Who wants to live with you? Shameless!" Xiao Cai blushed.
"Let's go first. I have an appointment with the town government to pick up my reward today."
"Claim your reward?"
Xiao Cai immediately became interested. "Take me with you. I'll help you check them out so they don't scam you."
Then.
Zhu Que and Xiao Cai returned to Jinfeng Town.
The evil energy formation in the cave has been broken.
Next, all that's needed is to replicate a Time-Sequence Secret Realm pod, and then we can officially enter the ultra-high-speed cultivation mode.
……
Town government building.
After registering in the lobby, Zhu Que and Xiao Cai were led by a staff member to the professional shooting hall on the third floor.
"Because we are making a documentary, your award acceptance process also needs to be filmed and recorded in its entirety."
The staff explained as they walked.
"I remember there was a reward that allowed me to freely choose a first-tier spiritual weapon. When can I choose that weapon?" Zhu Que asked.
"Once the filming and interviews are over, we can go to the Spirit Artifact Vault to collect it. Of course, the process will also be filmed there."
"Can I wear sunglasses and a mask during filming? I don't want to show my face because I'm afraid of being retaliated against."
Zhu Que doesn't want to be too high-profile.
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately displayed a subtle expression.
"Even if you want to show your face, you can't, because if fifth-class residents are the main subjects of the photo, there are clear regulations that their faces must be blurred."
"?"
Zhu Que was somewhat stunned.
What kind of brain-dead and bizarre rule is this?
Although he really didn't want to show his face, the fact that the authorities had such a rule was just too outrageous.
What kind of bullshit is this "fifth-class resident"?
Even if you're filming a dog as the main subject, there's no rule that you have to blur its face.
As soon as Zhu Que entered the photography studio, he saw a familiar figure—Tang Ke.
"What's she doing here?"
"Who is it?"
Xiao Cai curiously peeked out.
"May this position remain vacant!"
Tang Ke happened to see him too, stood on tiptoe and waved to him, then ran towards him.
"You're here!"
Tang Ke smiled brightly, wearing a pink dress and a high ponytail, looking youthful and beautiful.
Are you going to film too?
"Of course, I'm one of the parties involved. We fought against the kidnappers together, so of course I have to be in the documentary," Tang Ke said with a smile.
"You really should be included."
Zhu Que thought it was reasonable.
At this moment, Tang Ke noticed Xiao Cai standing to the side, and her eyes darted around as she subtly sized her up.
"Who is this lady?"
"Her name is Xiao Cai, and she's mine..."
"Hello, I'm Zhu Que's best friend. You can call me Sister Xiao Cai!"
Xiao Cai spoke first, smiling as she extended her hand to Tang Ke.
She deliberately emphasized the words "best friend," subtly conveying a sense of unspoken declaration.
"Hello, Sister Xiaocai~ My name is Tang Ke, and I'm Zhu Que's... comrade-in-arms who's been through thick and thin with him!"
Tang Ke shook hands with her, her smile incredibly sweet.
One is a good friend.
One is a good comrade-in-arms.
Xiao Cai felt her momentum suddenly weaken by half.
"Zhu Que, filming is about to begin, let's go!"
Tang Ke took Zhu Que's arm and walked naturally toward the filming area.
"Tch, she's really given me a headache."
Xiao Cai pouted and muttered resentfully, "I don't believe she knows Zhu Que as well as I do."
Then.
Zhu Que began filming in the studio.
Even though he had to blur out the images later, he still wore a mask and hat, covering himself up completely to prevent the master tape from being leaked.
He wore a silk ribbon around his neck that read "Fifth-Class Young Hero".
He held a prize plaque in his left hand that read "60 Spirit Coins".
He held a first-tier guardian-type spiritual artifact called "Guardian Jade" in his right hand.
The entire shoot lasted for more than six hours.
period.
The television station interviewed not only Zhu Que, but also Tang Ke and several other kidnapped students.
After the filming and interviews ended, Zhu Que went to the town hall's artifact storehouse because he could still receive a spirit artifact.
Xiao Cai and Tang Ke also came along, saying they would help him decide which magical artifact would be suitable.
Township government office.
The basement level is the artifact storage area.
When the elevator doors opened, Zhu Que stepped into the artifact storage room and was completely stunned.
The Spirit Artifact Treasury is extremely large.
The entire underground floor was built into a huge warehouse, with an area of at least tens of thousands of square meters.
The entire warehouse was divided into two areas—
First-tier spirit weapon zone and second-tier spirit weapon zone.
Tier 3 spiritual artifacts are too precious to be stored here.
On the open space, rows of steel shelves were arranged, each displaying a variety of magical artifacts.
A dazzling array, countless in number.
"My God, so many magical artifacts..."
Xiao Cai and Tang Ke both widened their eyes.
"Zhu Que, you may freely choose one spiritual weapon from the first-tier spiritual weapon area. However, you cannot choose a cultivation-type spiritual weapon."
The staff member pointed to the area on the left.
"Why can't I choose a cultivation-type spiritual artifact?"
"That's the rule," the staff member said politely with a smile.
"..."
Zhu Que was speechless for a moment.
They say it's "free choice," but they won't let you choose cultivation-type spiritual artifacts. What kind of freedom is that?
This is simply an attempt to prevent the lower-class, fifth-rank individuals from cultivating.
"What kind of magical artifact would you like to choose?" the staff member asked.
"Let me think..."
Looking at the dazzling array of magical artifacts, Zhu Que suddenly had a thought.
Since you're letting me choose freely.
So it's normal for me to be "picky" then, right?
If I pretend to be conflicted and hesitant, wouldn't I be able to take the opportunity to analyze these first-tier spiritual artifacts like crazy?
Thinking about this...
Zhu Que immediately put it into action.
