Xu Jingming was strolling leisurely in the market, looking at the various creatures in the market. Suddenly, he glanced around and saw the goods on a stall in the distance. His eyes lit up and he walked over.
This hawker sells handicrafts and is looking expectantly at Xu Jingming who walks to the stall.
"Are you selling this stone?" Xu Jingming picked up a seemingly ordinary oval stone on the stall. The other items on the stall were bamboo baskets, bamboo stools, bamboo chairs and other items, but there was only one stone.
At first glance, this stone looks like an ordinary milky white pebble, except that it has a misty black color on it.
"Buy, sell, sell." The hawker nodded, "This stone is warm to the touch. I hit it with a big hammer and there wasn't even a scratch. It must be a treasure."
"Say a price." Xu Jingming said.
The hawker stretched out his hand and said solemnly, "Ten taels of silver, at least ten taels of silver."
An ordinary hawker only earns about ten taels of silver after working hard for a year. For a special stone to be sold at such a high price, the hawker feels that it is cruel enough.
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded, "Just ten taels of silver." The vendor was happy after hearing this.
But a vendor next to him said, "Yue Xiaosan, this is a treasure. Not to mention ten taels of silver, I'm afraid it's worth one hundred two thousand taels."
"Are you still selling?" Xu Jingming looked at the hawker and asked with a smile, "If the price increases, I won't accompany you.
"Young man, they are setting a trap for you. They called for ten taels, but they still wanted one hundred taels and one thousand taels." An old man carrying a basket walked by and reminded, "These traders are very cunning."
"Sell, sell, sell." The vendor glared at the vendor next to him and immediately handed the black and white stone to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming also took out a piece of silver and gave it to the hawker.
Money and goods are both in order.
"If I can still find such a stone, will the customer still want it?" The vendor picked up the silver ingot, wiped it, took two bites, then happily hid it in his arms, and asked after him.
"Yes." Xu Jingming looked at him, "I will come to the market often recently."
"I'll go back and look for it." The vendor nodded. He accidentally picked it up while cutting bamboo on the mountain. This time he planned to go back and look for it. If he found one, it would be worth a year's hard work.
Xu Jingming left immediately.
"Guests, please go away slowly." The vendor said in a flattering tone, then glared at the neighboring vendors and said, "Old smoker, you want to ruin my business?"
…
Xu Jingming held the oval-shaped stone and poured the magic power into it. The stone suddenly became hot. Xu Jingming nodded slightly: "The magic power of the sixth level, combined with my self-created magical power, is very powerful, but it can't be used against magic."
The burden on the weapon is also greater. Better materials are needed. This stone, combined with some materials, can almost be used to refine a method seal."
These precious materials can only be used by demon-slayers.
After Xu Jingming left the market, he continued to visit the city of Lanping Prefecture.
Every time you visit a place, you must visit the prefecture and walk through most of the county towns within the prefecture.
He watched the lives of various people in the city, met demons, and captured their hearts to refine demons! When refining demons, the demon's obsession and memory were integrated into Xu Jingming's consciousness, allowing Xu Jingming to understand their thoughts on a deeper level.
Life.
The world of Conquering Demons is huge!
After all, the eighth-level and seventh-level starry sky beings in the same universe are all in the same demon-busting world. Even if the cost of establishing an account is high, and even though many eighth-level starry sky beings will try other paths, the number of demon-busting people here is still very large.
It is huge, and the number of ordinary people is more than ten thousand times greater.
Countless ordinary people also have various fates, Xu Jingming observed and studied.
******
Not only is he studying in the world of subduing demons, Xu Jingming is also studying humanities and science knowledge.
"Some of the gains I gained from watching students in the world of demons have actually been summarized in the humanistic knowledge of the Universal Human Alliance." Xu Jingming sat in his courtyard, looking at the large amount of humanistic knowledge on the screen, and the brains of eighth-level starry sky beings were amazed.
He memorized a large amount of knowledge with just one glance, and he had hundreds of examples from the world of demons in his mind to verify.
“For humanities, although the highest level of education is only level 60, it is still very important.
"It is said on Blue Star that character determines destiny. But humanities knowledge determines character and destiny." The more Xu Jingming observed, the more he paid attention to this aspect.
Even though the humanities knowledge is vast and there are many key books, Xu Jingming's brain only took half a month to read all the most important books.
"Man's destiny."
"The Destiny of Civilization."
"Thinking about it, it's just those things." Xu Jingming looked at the scientific knowledge in front of him, "Scientific knowledge is truly endless.
Although Xu Jingming was a science student before learning evolution, the knowledge he learned at that time was still very superficial.
But now, as an eighth-level starry sky being, a large amount of knowledge from the Yuanchu Research Institute is at his disposal. He can even read the manuscripts of many great scholars, which is naturally of great help to Xu Jingming.
"Jingming, what are you looking at?" Li Miaomiao came over and looked at it from a distance. The densely packed characters made her dizzy, "All kinds of characters.
"Those are just some characters with special meanings that can make the formulas more concise." Xu Jingming sighed, "Miao Miao, scientific knowledge is really amazing. Can you believe that with just a few formulas, you can use them as a basis to deduce results?"
Thousands of formulas explain the meaning of everything in the universe."
Li Miaomiao blinked when she heard this.
"Yes."
Xu Jingming looked up at the sky, "When you suddenly realize that those few formulas and theorems! They have explained the very vast and huge laws of the universe. You will be shocked. This is the power of knowledge.
"Understanding knowledge, you can use a little flame to burst out with the power to destroy stars.
"But it is also possible to transform a desolate planet into a planet suitable for life." Xu Jingming had longing in his eyes, "I really want to become the source of life. The source of life can control the source of the universe. As long as you master the knowledge, you can
You can use the power of the universe to realize various ideas."
Li Miaomiao smiled and said: "Who doesn't want to become the whole life of Cheng Yuan?"
Everyone in the Blue Star Civilization hopes that someone can become a source of life. But it is too difficult. I don’t know how many galaxies and how many thousands of years it will take for a source of life to be born.
"Yes, it's too difficult." Xu Jingming nodded. Even if he received the core chapter of the supreme inheritance of mankind in the universe, "Yuanchu Star Conjecture," it would take him a long, long time to become the source of life.
Xu Jingming immersed himself in reading scientific knowledge.
The accumulation of scientific knowledge will also allow him to have a deeper understanding of "Lights" and the existence of the Yuanchu Star, so that the effect of visualization will be better.
The accumulation of knowledge must be accumulated slowly over time. No matter how good the method is, it must be learned slowly and down-to-earth.
In the world of demon-slaying, the audience is watching and the souls are refining demons.
Learn humanities and science knowledge in the real world, and study "Light".
Xu Jingming is growing up every day, and it feels like time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since Xu Jingming became an eighth-level starry sky being.
*****
Blue Star, Binhai City.
Jingle Bell!
As the school bell rang, many students walked out of the campus.
"See you in the virtual world tonight.
"Class 2, if you have the guts, don't run away tonight. Class 1 will fight with you in 5v5."
"Who is afraid of whom?"
The students said, all of them were very excited.
As minors, they still have to attend school during the day and get along with their peers. Only when they return home can they enter the virtual world.
"Look, Xu Lixing."
"Xu Lixing from class three of the first year."
"Her father is Xu Jingming, the number one person in Blue Star. Less than two years after the evolution method became popular, Xu Jingming became a seventh-level starry sky being. Xu Lixing is twelve years old this year, and he also won the first place in the youth group global competition. It's really amazing.
.
A group of students looked at a girl in the distance as if they were looking at a star.
Xu Lixing is indeed a big star on Blue Star. Ever since she was in kindergarten, she has attracted much attention. A large number of media have paid attention to her and reported her news.
"Let's go home."
Xu Lixing boarded a small aircraft on the roadside. Today, such small aircraft are still very common on Blue Star, with tens of millions of them in existence around the world. I believe that in a few decades, they will completely replace cars.
"Okay." Xiaowu, the butler robot, sat in the aircraft and came to pick up Xu Lixing in person.
"Aunt Xiaowu." Xu Lixing couldn't help but said, "Since I won the world's first place in the junior category, people have been taking pictures of me wherever I go."
"Li Xing, haven't you been used to it since childhood?" Xiao Wu, the housekeeper, said with a smile.
"It's different. It's much crazier now than in the past. I'm a little distressed." Xu Lixing covered her forehead, but there was still a hint of excitement in her eyes. She liked the feeling of being sought after.
Butler Xiao Wu said, "According to what your father said, you only reach the fifth level when you are twelve years old. Among the countless civilizations in the universe, there are hundreds of millions of people with higher talents than you."
"I am number one in the world," Xu Lixing glared.
"But your father taught you martial arts since you were a child. It took you nearly ten years to reach the fifth level." Xiao Wu, the housekeeper, said.
"I have worked very hard, and my parents are very strict. When I was seven years old, I achieved Level 3, and when I was ten years old, I achieved Level 4. This year, I achieved Level 5 and ranked first in the world in the junior category. Who doesn't give a thumbs up when you mention me?
Speaking of which, my dad is only in the fifth level at the age of thirty. Let’s see how I can surpass him in the future.” Xu Lixing said.
"Li Xing, all of us, including your father, expect you to surpass him." Butler Xiao Wu said.
"Just wait and see."
Xu Lixing won the first place in the world for the first time. It was when he was high-spirited and full of fighting spirit.
Soon, the aircraft landed in his yard.
"Dad, Mom."
As soon as Xu Lixing stepped out of the aircraft, he ran towards Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.
Xu Jingming looked at his daughter, who was twelve years old. She was tall because she had been practicing the evolutionary method for many years. She was already 1.75 meters tall. She was already a big girl.
As his daughter grows older, Xu Jingming is also a little worried. He doesn't know which young man will take advantage of him in the future, so he must keep a close eye on him.
"Eat some fruit." Li Miaomiao pointed to the fruit plate on the side.
"I've had some snacks on the way. I'm entering the virtual world. Call me during dinner." Xu Lixing said, then went straight to his bedroom, closed the door, and put on the virtual helmet.
Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other.
"Just call me and go upstairs." Xu Jingming shook his head.
"She has been pestering me in the past." Li Miaomiao also looked at the fruit in front of her, "Now that she has prepared the fruit, she won't even eat it. Now that my daughter is older, she can't help her."
"Our daughter has also reached the fifth level. After some time, she will be able to become a starry sky being, and she will also have a separate virtual room." Xu Jingming said, "As a mother, do you have to cultivate yourself to become a starry sky being?"
"I'm still young, and I want to work hard." Li Miaomiao's attitude was very determined.
Xu Jingming nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it's up to you.
In my family, apart from myself, my father, Xu Hong, broke through to the fifth level on his own two years ago and became a life in the starry sky. In total, it took eleven years of practice for my father to reach the fifth level after he obtained the evolution method.
As for my mother, grandfather, and father-in-law, they are relatively inferior in this aspect. They have all been promoted to stars in the sky with the help of external forces.
According to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao's decision, only close relatives are willing to spend money to be promoted to starry beings through external means.
In the entire human race in the universe, the vast majority of starry beings are the result of external breakthroughs. This is the reason! When one person rises, he will naturally help his relatives. Even because the starry lifespan is very long, it will also affect subsequent generations, eventually forming a huge family.
Virtual World Network, Xu Jingming’s personal space.
Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and clicked on the personal combat power panel——
Genetic Evolution Method: "Sky Python Evolution Method" (Perfect Life in the Starry Sky)
Body: 1.06 billion
Skills: Spear Skill (97% at Level 8), Shield Skill (95% at Level 8), Sword Skill (93 at Level 8), Knife Skill (92% at Level 8), Stick Skill (95% at Level 8), Footwork (95% at Level 8)
98%), hidden weapon (eighth level 87%)
Basic combat power: 530 billion
Energy: 106 billion Actual bonus: 63 times
Combat power: 40 trillion (please follow the regulations of the Universal Human Alliance)
Xu Jingming looked at the data and nodded slightly: "With the help of the Supreme Inheritance Core Chapter of Yuanchu Research Institute, in ten years, I have indeed reached the eighth level of physical cultivation.
"However, the eighth level limit is still far away from the source of life." Xu Jingming knew this very well.
He clicked lightly to open the hidden data in the personal panel——
Psychic power: 5631
This is the data just tested this year.
"It is easy to increase the spiritual power index in the early stage. The average data of the geniuses of the Yuanchu Academy is that after 35 years of practicing as an eighth-level starry sky life, the spiritual index breaks through 5,000, and after 390 years of cultivation, it breaks through 9,000... Generally, within a thousand years old, they become the source of life.
."
"And I, in ten years, my spiritual index exceeded 5,000."
"Based on similar proportions, I should be born in about two hundred years." Xu Jingming thought.
It will reach the eighth level limit in ten years.
But at a similar rate of progress, it would take two hundred years to become a source of life.
The time it takes to become a source of life is twenty times as long as it takes to reach the eighth level limit. This is on the premise that progress can be made continuously. Many eighth level limiters have become desperate and given up after a long time.
This also makes the human race and the number of life forms in the vast universe extremely rare.
"According to the evaluation of the Yuanchu Research Institute, my spiritual power has progressed relatively quickly." Xu Jingming also sighed, "Maintaining this efficiency, it will take two hundred years to become a source of life?"
