Luo Nan stood at the edge of the swamp lake in front of Gear. His nose twitched slightly. Aside from the fishy smell of water flowing through the air, there was also an indescribable smell. It was very faint, yet it lingered in the air without dispersing.
The nose orifice was connected to the lungs. Luo Nan had already begun to practice the corresponding internal cultivation technique. His foundation was deep due to his year-round breathing exercises. His progress was extremely fast. Currently, his cultivation of the five zangs, six roots, and nine apertures had reached the primary level. His liver, heart, spleen, lungs, eyes, tongue, mouth, and nose had all reached the primary level. Only the Ear Aperture and kidney Qi still needed to be polished.
Now he stood by the lake, his nostrils quivering and his mouth slightly open. His inner Qi naturally nourished the corresponding organ structure of the human body, making the corresponding receptors more sensitive. The small chemical molecules floating in the air stimulated the relevant areas through the corresponding channels, activating the corresponding feelings and memories.
His sense of smell and taste intertwined to form the basis of his judgment. It even formed a set of blurry images that reflected the relevant information. Perhaps Luo Nan suspected that this was a predetermined answer, but Luo Nan was still able to confirm that the source of this wave of relatively stimulating small molecules was the Mushed Mouth Ape tossing and turning at the bottom of the lake in the wee hours of the morning.
It's hard to avoid getting caught in the mud …
The deeper one cultivated, the more sensitive they would be to the changes in the external environment. The more detailed the information they collected, the closer their perception and judgment would be to the truth. Most of the time, it was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It was as if he had the eyes of a ghost that could see through the truth.
Therefore, Luo Nan returned to Gear. He wanted to see if there were too many traces left behind from Midnight's violent summoning. If there were, he would clean up the loose ends to prevent attracting flies.
As it turned out, he was right to come.
Luo Nan's soul strength was like an incorporeal cloud that pervaded the void. He used his interference power to disperse the aura traces around the swamp lake as much as possible. Then, he entered the passageway at the bottom of the lake and wiped away some of the burnt mud.
At that time, the temperature at the bottom of the lake was indeed very high. Even if the Mushed Mouth Ape had crossed the boundary between the two worlds, its destructive power was still quite shocking. This was very good. However, it wouldn't be fun if they were discovered early on.
Fortunately, Luo Nan had to clean up Gear and its surroundings every few days, sweeping away all the monitoring devices. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.
Xie Junping had yet to arrive by the time Luo Nan walked out of the passageway at the bottom of the lake. Xie Junping sat in the corner of the bar outside the passageway, waiting.
He didn't stay idle either. With a thought, the ten Raindrop Swords circling the top of the troposphere flew over one after another. They passed through the door as if they had a mind of their own. By the time they reached Luo Nan, the water droplets were full, sparkling and translucent.
Of course, these water droplets were formed later on. Under the harsh environmental test at the top of the troposphere, it was difficult for the external water droplets to exist for a long time. They could only be driven by the strong structural framework to ensure an endless stream of water droplets.
Perhaps, this was the true killing move of the 'Water Drop Sword'.
Luo Nan pondered over the concrete scenario of facing the enemy. Unfortunately, he was unable to find an opportunity to experiment, so he stopped thinking about it. To him, there were other uses for these ten Waterdrop Swords that he had spent so much effort to condense and test them.
"Come on, it's time for nutrition."
The electric light between his eyebrows flickered, and the external neuron in the form of a Dripping Sword emerged from his skull. The electric fire that lingered around it suddenly forked and struck the other ten Dripping Swords. The water droplets instantly evaporated, but the structural framework was still there. It even formed a subtle connection with the external neuron.
The external neuron trembled, miraculously projecting its current structure onto the other ten Dripping Swords. Similarly, the other ten Dripping Swords also mapped their respective structural details onto the external neuron.
Just as he had experienced before, the higher his cultivation, the more different his perception became. When one progressed to a certain degree, it would already exceed the scope of common sense. It would even subvert one's worldview.
Luo Nan's cultivation progress was extremely fast. It was not excessive for Qin Yikun to praise him with words like 'godly speed'. At the same time, his perception of the world was endlessly deepening. His current perspective and viewpoint were somewhat different from what they were a week ago. The difference was even more obvious after ten days to half a month.
This kind of change was perfectly embodied on the Dripping Sword. It was embodied on the structural circuit constructed by the external neuron.
Luo Nan's attainments in the Dripping Sword could be said to be at a high starting point and a high level. He had just entered the door, but he had already surpassed the efforts of the vast majority of people. The Condensation Ring mold he had constructed for the external neuron earlier was a divine item that he had miraculously obtained in his peak state. It broke through the boundary between the mental and material planes in one fell swoop. It was the core that allowed Luo Nan to fully display the circulation of his soul strength.
But as time passed, Luo Nan's soul strength continued to rise. His nine orifices and six roots technique continued to perfect, and the level of his perception grew increasingly deep and rich. Looking back at the divine item from back then, there were some places that didn't seem to be able to withstand scrutiny.
It would have been fine if the Dripping Sword was a consumable technique that could be used and thrown away at will. But he used the external neuron as a molding material, preserving the structural circuit for a long period of time. In this way, even the slightest flaw would be reflected in his mind, stimulating and reminding him at all times ….
He couldn't bear it no matter what!
Right now, the external neuron was connected to the energy of the other ten Dripping Swords. Their configurations reflected each other, superimposing and resonating. Due to the difference in materials, the skeletal structure of the other Dripping Swords was gradually unable to withstand it. They disintegrated one after another.
The external neuron was much better, but it also referred to the structural changes of the other Dripping Swords and carried out minute adjustments. It sought the most stable structure under the destruction of resonance, ensuring that it was sturdier and more stable.
Luo Nan closed his eyes. He paid attention to this process purely through his senses, experiencing the most exquisite and exquisite aspects within.
Luo Nan had discovered this method by chance. It made full use of the external neuron's marvelous' intelligence ', allowing it to possess a sturdy structure while still being able to guarantee continuous plasticity, striving for perfection.
It also guaranteed that Luo Nan's research on the Dripping Sword would always be active, seeking change, and absolutely not sticking to convention.
Oh, Dean Wan had said similar words before. Luo Nan felt that this was the right path. He couldn't see the end for a while.
Xie Junping finally arrived after the structures of the ten Dripping Swords had completely disintegrated.
He rushed back directly after the morning class. He was still wearing a set of archaic exercise clothes. It matched his excessively young face, making him look a bit comical. But if one only looked at his face, one would feel that he was glowing with health. He was brimming with energy. He was completely different from the bewildered nocturnal creature of the past.
"Why didn't you pick up my call just now? Luckily I guessed that you were here …. "
"I'm working hard."
Xie Junping's greatest benefit after officially entering the cultivation sequence was that he could normally communicate with a few 'unconventional' matters. Xie Junping's acceptance of this was quite high, and he was quite interested.
"Speaking of which, with our friendship, don't you think that we should exchange information?"
"Let's wait until you've truly entered the door." Luo Nan was really worried that Xie Junping would become a chatterbox. He took the initiative to change the topic. "What do you need from me?"
Xie Junping was a bit hesitant. "I'm afraid that you won't like to hear it."
Luo Nan raised his head to look. He more or less understood what was going on when he saw Xie Junping's expression. "It's related to this place?"
Xie Junping sighed. He sat on an empty chair in front of the bar. "The ownership of Gear will be decided soon. We'll enter the final bidding phase tomorrow. An announcement might be made on Monday. Do you want to go take a look? "
"There's no need to participate in things that I can't decide on."
"Hoho, your tone is getting bigger and bigger …. You really don't want to go?"
Luo Nan laughed as he shook his head.
Xie Junping sighed once more. He moved his elbows back and rested them on the bar counter. He raised his head in an exhausted manner. "There's been such a huge change in the middle, but both sides are actually able to hold on until the end. Right now, the Construction Society is still quite confident. On the other hand, the Divine Research Society's previous financial backer has withdrawn his investment and merged with the Construction Society. This has dealt quite a blow to them. The newly invested LRCF is lukewarm. There's no sign of an increase in the stakes. They haven't even given up yet. I've looked for Tang Yi quite a few times, but I haven't gotten any clear words. Sigh. With his current friendship with Lady Du, it would be great if he was still the president. "
"LCRF. Life Fund." The corner of Luo Nan's lips curled up. "Greedy capitalistic old wolves. Those in power are vainly trying to grasp power at straws."
Xie Junping gave him a blank look. "At the very least, my old man throws money in from time to time. He has a bit of authority."
Now it was Luo Nan's turn to dissuade him. "The Construction Society is up to no good. The LRCF isn't a good thing either. Since it's not a good thing for us to have anyone take over, why bother with this? "
"These words make one's heart go cold. So it turns out that we've worked for nothing?" Xie Junping laughed and turned his head. "Speaking of which, what are you planning on doing in the end?"
"Me?" Luo Nan raised his hand to point at his nose. "Conserve energy and prepare for war."
"Don't joke around. I'm being serious."
Luo Nan's posture didn't change. He laughed involuntarily. "Am I not being serious?"
"Uh … …"
"It's true that I can't choose who will take over. But I will certainly properly communicate with those who take over what they want to do. It doesn't matter which method I use. "
Luo Nan's gaze pierced through the bottom of the lake and cast into the distance. It was in the direction of the large living area. Ocean Sky Cloud City was directly facing this place.
Xie Junping followed Luo Nan's gaze and looked forward. All he saw was the turbid and dark bottom of the lake. He blinked his eyes. He didn't understand what was going on. "Though I don't understand what you're talking about, it doesn't feel too good … … Things won't get complicated, right?"
"I hope so. After all, I don't want to complicate matters. There are far too many vexing matters. "Luo Nan sighed. His fingertips moved to the space between his eyebrows. The external neuron mapped the relevant software interface, revealing his notepad. There were a bunch of unfinished matters on it.
Big ones. Small ones. Things that could be spoken of. Things that couldn't be spoken of. Things that could be resolved. Things that couldn't be resolved … … There were so many and so many things that needed to be broken through.
Luo Nan wasn't in the mood to continue chatting when he saw these recorded matters. He stood up and waved his hand at Xie Junping. "You go organize the parade. I'm leaving."
"Don't! The main character will only appear at the most crucial moment. The various teams might not even be able to make it to the city center in the morning with today's scene. The most important moment is in the afternoon. Of course, the best time is still at night … … I still want to take a nap here. "
