Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 45 Tier 3 Spiritual Artifact - Fake Black Jade of Deception!

The next evening.

Xilan Research Institute.

Zhu Que arrived at the Xilan Research Institute as agreed, and saw Song Wugui already waiting for him as soon as he entered.

"Zhu Que, that magical artifact belongs to an old senior named Gongyang Jie. I will take you to see him now."

"Understood, thank you, Brother Song."

Zhu Que expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Finally, we can solve the problem of "born demons".

If all goes well, he will no longer need to hide his cultivation practices or worry about dealing with the police.

Reception room.

After Zhu Que entered, he saw an old man sitting inside.

The old man was wearing round sunglasses and a gray-blue robe, with an ebony cane leaning against his side, leisurely sipping tea.

"Senior Gongyang, this is Zhu Que," Song Wugui said respectfully.

"Junior Zhu Que greets Senior Gongyang."

Zhu Que bowed respectfully.

The old man nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips. "I heard from Xiao Song that you don't want your farm manager to know you're cultivating?"

"Yes, our manager..."

Zhu Que then proceeded to deliver his prepared explanation in a detailed and engaging manner.

"well……"

After hearing this, the old man with the ram shook his head and sighed.

"How dare such a lowly official be so arrogant and domineering! The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be..."

Zhu Que subtly revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Stretch out your hand."

The old man with the ram waved to him.

Zhu Que immediately stepped forward and extended his right hand.

The old man with the ram grasped his wrist, placed his right hand on his palm, and a strange spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from him.

Zhu Que immediately felt as if something had appeared in his palm, and at the same time, a line of twisted tadpole-like characters appeared before his eyes:

[Unknown magical artifact detected!]

[Current parsing progress: 0.001%……0.002%……0.003%……]

Zhu Que remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This magical artifact can be analyzed and replicated.

Judging from the analysis speed, it seems to be a third-tier spiritual artifact—which happens to be the limit he can currently replicate.

"This item is called the 'Deceived Black Jade,' and it can fool the testing and evaluation without any problems," said the old man Gongyang.

"Senior, how do we activate this black jade?" Zhu Que asked.

"I will teach you the method to operate..."

The old man with the ram raised his sword finger and pointed it at his brow.

"Illusion and reality give rise to each other, vital energy returns to its source, spiritual potential lies dormant, heaven and earth are reversed, yin and yang are reversed, something arises from nothing..."

These key points and instructions from the Dharma gate may resonate endlessly in Zhu Que's mind.

"Try to activate your spiritual energy and practice the technique."

"Okay, senior."

Zhu Que immediately focused his mind, activated the spiritual artifact, and began to practice the magic.

"Illusion and reality give rise to each other, and the vital energy returns to its source..."

next moment.

The black jade in Zhu Que's palm suddenly trembled.

A thick, inky black mist surged out from the jade, instantly enveloping his entire palm.

Followed by.

The black mist seemed to have a life of its own, seeping into his skin from his palm and merging into his limbs and bones.

Two black mist phantoms suddenly appeared before Zhu Que's eyes.

One light, one dark, like smoke and illusion.

"Do you see those two black mists?" the old man asked.

"I saw it."

"By merging with the black mist on the left, you can fool the detection and assessment, making it appear as if you have no cultivation level whatsoever."

"What about the black mist on the right?" Zhu Que asked curiously.

"That's used to hide other special information. You don't need to worry about it; you won't need it anyway."

Song Wugui chimed in from the side.

"Understood."

Zhu Que remained outwardly calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

That's right!

This is it!

The black mist on the right can "hide other special information," and it's highly likely that it can be used to conceal the identity of a "born demon"!

Then, he used his divine sense to select the black mist on the left and asked, "Senior, what's next?"

"It's all better now. No matter how you test or evaluate, no trace of cultivation will be detected," the old man Gongyang said with a smile.

"Understood! Thank you, senior! Thank you, Brother Song!" Zhu Que said gratefully.

"Don't mention it. We're friends, it's only right that I help you out."

Song Wugui laughed and said, "Alright, go back and take care of your business. After you're done, remember to return the Hidden Heaven Black Jade to Senior Gongyang."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Que turned and left the reception room.

Seeing Zhu Que leave, the old man with the ram looked at Song Wugui:

"Little Song, how have you been lately? Researching spiritual artifacts is certainly your passion, but you can't neglect your cultivation. If your cultivation level doesn't improve, you won't be able to research higher-level spiritual artifacts in the future."

"Don't worry, senior, I know what I'm doing," Song Wugui said calmly.

"Alright, alright, young people have their own opinions, they're hard to manage."

The old man, leaning on his cane, slowly rose and sighed:

"Go home and visit when you have time. Your mother misses you very much... After all, it's still your home."

"..."

Song Wugui remained silent.

……

Zhu Que left the Xilan Research Institute.

The sky had completely darkened, and the streetlights on both sides of the street lit up one after another, casting circles of dim yellow light on the ground.

On his way back, Zhu Que discovered that after the Hidden Black Jade was integrated into his body, its analysis speed had increased by more than three times.

What was originally expected to take two days to analyze can now be completed in just over ten hours.

"I've mastered another analytical trick..."

Back at the cultivation center, Zhu Que continued to instill the Ice and Fire Unity Technique, and then immersed himself in breathing exercises.

At the same time, his analysis of the Hidden Black Jade was also progressing rapidly.

The next morning.

When Zhu Que returned to the junkyard after buying breakfast, the analysis of the Dark Jade finally reached 100%.

[Analysis successful!]

[Hidden Heaven Black Jade - Fake: Mid-grade Tier 3, a fine jade artifact. A inferior imitation of the Hidden Heaven Black Jade. After use, it allows the user to freely conceal their cultivation level and other special information.]

[Requirements for counterfeiting: 11 Tier 2 Jade Items, 1 Tier 2 Gold Item]

"What? The Black Jade of Deception... is fake?"

"This means that this magical artifact is also a replica..."

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously, "I wonder what kind of spiritual artifact will be created by imitating 'imitations'?"

noon.

While eating in the cafeteria, Zhu Que looked at the promotional posters that Tang Ke had put up.

The registration period for the special college entrance examination is in ten days.

"Registration will begin in ten days..."

Zhu Que secretly made his plans.

"In the next ten days, I need to test whether the 'Hidden Black Jade' can actually fool the testing and evaluation."

"If it's feasible, you can register for this special college entrance examination."

"With my current strength, I definitely can't hope for the top three. I'll be happy if I can get into the top fifty."

"If I get into the top 50, I can qualify for a fourth-level promotion, which is what I need right now."

"As long as you have the status of a fourth-class citizen, you can have unlimited access to most magical artifacts..."

Thinking about this...

A resolute glint flashed in Zhu Que's eyes.
