Wang Jixuan feared that No.5 might recover his strength too quickly and then ’reveal his true nature’ and commit evil acts on this planet; if that happened, he would truly be aiding and abetting a villain.
The quickest way to gain Wang Jixuan’s trust was to let him check his memory;
But No.5’s pride and strength would not allow such a thing to happen.
Master Wang was no longer as naive as he was when cultivating in the mountains.
He purposely refined three additional ’Soul Nourishing Pills’ and put them into his storage magical treasure right in front of No.5.
At that moment, grinding noises could be heard from No.5’s stone plate.
Seize the opportunity for advancement, don’t let it go to waste.
Ji Xiao, Ji Yale, and Ji Yale’s wife, these three students of Xing Dian, were disciples of Spirit Cultivator No.5.
Although Wang Jixuan preferred to nurture Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo, giving the first batch of promotion slots to Ji Xiao and Ji Yale would maximize the benefits.
The performance of the two brothers in the Battle of Snow Mountain proved their complete dedication to the Dao Heart.
When Wang Jixuan sent Ji Xiao and Ji Yale into the No.5 Stone Plate, he also learned a very ironic fact.
"Doesn’t advancing from A-level to S-level require A-level materials?"
Spirit Cultivator No.5 appeared in front of Wang Jixuan, muttering softly, and after pinching his chin and thinking for a while, he said:
"Originally, according to our Spirit Cultivation Convention, these things could not be revealed.
"But now I need your help, and the Spirit Cultivation Civilization is on the brink of being annihilated by Blade Beasts, so it doesn’t matter if I tell you, just try to keep it confidential.
"Actually, there are three different methods of promotion.
"The first method, which is commonly used in the Spiritual Ability City, involves devouring peers of the same level. This method has many drawbacks; for Spirit Slaves, it’s almost all cons, with only the survivors benefiting.
"But for Spirit Cultivators, it’s all advantages.
"In the process of Spirit Slaves devouring each other, the released portion of the Power of Soul directly nourishes the Spirit Cultivator... as long as there are human deaths during the rituals, it nourishes the source of the ritual.
"Therefore, Spirit Slaves generally can only use the first method.
"The other two methods: one is the master of the Spirit Slave using their own power to directly grant a boon; the other is to plunder other Spirit Cultivators’ Spirit Slaves and let one’s own Spirit Slaves devour them.
"I often use the last method, so in their mouths, I’ve become the ultimate villain."
Wang Jixuan didn’t know how to evaluate this.
However, considering the current situation, he also hoped to use the third method.
’It’s just a bit too much like a Demon Cultivator.’
Wang Jixuan took a Soul Nourishing Pill, flicked it with his finger, and Spirit Cultivator No.5 opened his mouth with glowing eyes to catch it, then let out a sound of comfort.
"Your civilization is truly adept at pharmaceuticals! Thank you! Rest assured, I won’t brainwash your subordinates! We need to cooperate for the long term!"
No.5 waved his hand, turned, and jumped back onto the stone plate.
Wang Jixuan squinted with a smile.
In any case, when Ji Xiao and Ji Yale returned, he would scan their memories; he would know at a glance what happened and what they thought.
No.5’s proposal for cooperation and the promotion of the two Jis were unexpected gains;
Wang Jixuan continued with his previous routine, using War Puppets to refine artifacts, to create array bases, while observing the battles in the D3 Combined Combat Zone and rapidly enhancing his own strength.
He had thought that the next disruption to his progress would be from that SS-level Spiritual Ability User.
Masters had gotten used to it;
He never expected to stably advance to the Condensation Realm!
However, Wang Jixuan didn’t wait for the SS-level Spiritual Ability User to make a move but received a special distress signal from the D2 Combined Combat Zone.
