Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

Chapter 391 Spirit Bomb

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

Everyone sensed the presence of a stranger joining the battle.

But she ran too fast.

The Shattering Waves Without a Trace Step is an ancient martial art. It can make any water on the ground disappear without a trace in an instant.

In the final stages of cultivation, one can travel a thousand miles in a single breath without even needing the obvious moisture on the ground; as long as there is moisture in the air, one can achieve this.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can glimpse the mysteries of space and tear it apart with bare hands.

However, the spatial aura is too obvious, making it very easy to be blocked.

The Wave-Shattering Step is silent and stealthy, using an invisible water shadow to conceal its form, making it difficult to detect.

During the teleportation process, even a person's body splits into water vapor, merging with the surrounding air, making it difficult to detect.

This technique is practically a god-level technique for saving lives.

The more they practiced and compared their skills with those available on the market, the more players realized how extraordinary the five techniques were.

Therefore, the Broken Wave Seamless Steps are currently the best-selling item.

Putting everything else aside, escaping for one's life is definitely the main objective!

Even if you can't master all of them, it's not difficult to learn a speed-type technique as a side skill.

Mu Qiu has been among the top tier in cultivation since entering the game, and even more so in combat.

Everyone felt that someone had thrown two dark objects, which caused a huge explosion.

The figure then quickly escaped.

In the midst of the chaos, no one expected the other side to launch a surprise attack.

Mu Qiu has entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but she is not yet at the Great Perfection stage; she is still far from the Golden Core stage.

The players are progressing at a rapid pace. Song Jiulai now has an avatar, and with the refinement of the five elemental colored stones and his divine sense, he needs dozens of times more spiritual energy than before. It's quite normal for the players to catch up with him.

Mu Qiu used the Shattering Waves Without a Trace Step to quickly leave the battlefield and then quickly rejoin it. These Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators were far slower than her.

Moreover, she didn't intend to take action, fearing that leaving obvious traces of spiritual energy would expose her.

They just threw out a few 'black stones'.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two more violent explosions were heard.

The cultivators were unharmed despite using their protective techniques, but the scene was filled with smoke. They never expected the other side to launch a surprise attack, which still caused some damage.

"What a rat!"

Four cultivators were exposed; although their cultivation level was only at the mid-stage, there were many of them.

Unable to find any trace of the other party, they could vaguely sense that the other party's cultivation level was definitely above theirs.

Feeling uneasy, the group shouted something and then hurriedly fled the scene.

The Wind Shadow, who was being tracked by them, was still in a state of shock when someone came to his aid.

They've already run far away.

Mu Qiu didn't chase after Feng Ying, since the system only required him to cause trouble and save Feng Ying anyway.

Mu Qiu felt great about earning 500 points for causing trouble like this: "Come back to me for next mission like this."

System: "Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't say unlucky things!"

Mu Qiu: “…”

She was used to the system's erratic behavior and sent a message to player [Zhuzhu]: [The power is alright, it has no effect on mid-Foundation Establishment players, but it can be used to launch a surprise attack.]

That's right, Mu Qiu was using the new bomb developed by the gunpowder department [player-created].

This thing is comparable to a hand grenade. It uses pure local resources from Yunzhou and has no spiritual energy, so its power is not low.

It will cause some damage to those in the Qi Refining stage. Even if those in the Foundation Establishment stage are completely unprepared and do not rely on protective techniques, their physical strength will only be affected to some extent, and they will not die.

Moreover, cultivators react quickly; even if they cannot stop the explosion, they can still use their techniques to protect themselves when the shockwave is generated.

They've been on the front lines for years, so they're capable of reacting to this.

Mu Qiu just took it out to test its effects, and it did indeed work to some extent.

[Zhuzhu: You used it to beat up a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator?! That's great. Do you need more test subjects? Right now, we don't have anything else, just too many finished products. The warehouse is almost overflowing. We can't keep blowing things up; we've almost wiped out all the first-tier demonic beasts around here.]

Even the strongest Tier 1 demon beast couldn't withstand a dozen or so grenades being thrown at it.

Why bother being a first-tier monster then? It should have evolved long ago!

I was originally planning to leave some Tier 1 monsters for newbies to practice with.

This kind of resource, devoid of spiritual energy, is plentiful in Yunzhou Continent; no one would compete for it.

The broken sect developed a bunch of things that explode all the time; it's kind of scary to watch.

Zhou Dafa, one of the main players in charge of research and development, also made a lot of small fireworks for children to play with.

The toys for children in Wang'an County have gradually evolved from the usual games of kicking stones and shuttlecocks to playing with firework guns.

Children shouldn't play with these dangerous things, so Zhou Dafa and his group knew their limits.

Furthermore, the Yunzhou continent possesses all sorts of magical artifacts and props, and the mortals, who are frequently tormented, have long been accustomed to their uneasy lives.

Upon hearing that this more powerful version of the firework gun could be used to fight against monsters, the mortals of Wang'an County simply couldn't believe it.

Good heavens, they can fight monsters now?

That's a demonic beast!

What a terrible thing!

How could mortals possibly survive under their rule!

So when the players casually mentioned that with these weapons, even without the protection of cultivators, they could use them to clear paths and travel to distant places, the people of Wang'an County were stunned with emotion.

We certainly wouldn't stop children from playing with these kinds of things.

But we must be careful.

Mu Qiu: [We can try building up a second-tier monster army now.]

Zhuzhu: [That's worth a try. I'll transfer a few hundred more to you.]

Mu Qiu clicked his tongue in amazement: "How much exactly did you dig up?"

Zhuzhu: [We have mineral resources, as much as you want.]

Mu Qiu: [Won't that interfere with your cultivation?]

Zhuzhu: [Hehehe, it's not a problem. We're currently trying to create a spirit energy bomb with the same properties as Thunderstone, further increasing its power and allowing it to cause even greater damage using spirit energy. It's a pity we have too few Thunderstones right now; we don't even have enough for refining weapons. Shuangxia Huai won't allow us to use them to make this—so stingy!]

As they were talking, hundreds of bombs turned around again.

Mu Qiu imagined the scene of each disciple being armed with thousands upon thousands of bombs...

Yeah, even if the spiritual energy is gone, I feel like it can still unleash a powerful attack.

Individually, they're not very effective, but when you pile them up, you'll still have a lot of trouble during the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for the Golden Core stage, forget about it. The moment you throw a bomb, they can pull it away in the blink of an eye and forcibly control you.

unless……

Mu Qiu thought for a moment: "Have you guys considered using the same approach as magic artifacts to make bombs? They look like magic artifacts, but they're actually bombs."

Zhu Zhu: [Bombs are all about surprise attacks; turning them into magical artifacts changes their nature.]

Mu Qiu: [It's meant to make people think it's a magical artifact, but it's actually just a disposable prop.]

Isn't it just a one-time use magic weapon?

It feels a bit wasteful.

Mu Qiu smiled again: [Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything.]

Zhu Zhu seemed to be deep in thought. A bomb disguised as a magical artifact? Nowadays, magical artifacts all require spiritual energy to activate. This kind of artifact needs to be detonated quickly, doesn't require human activation, and catches people off guard, which is its advantage.

The system suddenly said, "A one-time use magic item? Someone might be able to offer some ideas."

These words were spoken to Zhuzhu.

Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up: "Who?"

System: "There is a female cultivator in Liuxian City named Nan Qi who is very skilled in this."
