Chapter 6: Ten Years Later
Xu Jingming strolled leisurely in the market, watching the various people in the market. Suddenly, he glanced and saw the goods on a stall in the distance. His eyes lit up and he walked over.
This vendor was selling handicrafts, and he was looking forward to seeing Xu Jingming walking to the stall.
"This stone, do you want to sell it?" 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, etc., only one stone.
At first glance, this stone looked like an ordinary milky white pebble, but it was covered with a cloud-like black.
"Sell, sell, sell." The vendor nodded, "This stone feels warm to the touch. I hit it with a big hammer, and there is no scratch. It must be a treasure."
"Name a price." Xu Jingming said.
The vendor stretched out his hand and said solemnly: "Ten taels of silver, at least ten taels of silver."
An ordinary vendor worked hard for a year and only earned about ten taels of silver. A special stone was sold at such a high price. The vendor felt that it was already cruel enough.
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded, "Ten taels of silver."
The vendor was delighted.
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 or one thousand taels!"
"Are you still selling it?" Xu Jingming looked at the vendor and asked with a smile, "If you raise the price, I won't accompany you."
"Young man, they set a trap for you. They asked for ten taels, but they still want one hundred or one thousand taels." An old man carrying a basket walked by and reminded, "These vendors 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 silver ingot and gave it to the vendor.
The money and goods were paid.
"If I can find such a stone again, will the customer still want it?" The vendor picked up the silver ingot, wiped it, took two bites, and then hid it in his arms happily, and asked again and again.
"Yes." Xu Jingming looked at him, "I will come to the market often recently."
"I will go back and look for it carefully." The vendor nodded. He picked it up by chance when cutting bamboo in the mountains. This time he was going to go back and look for it carefully. Finding one is worth a year's hard work.
Xu Jingming left immediately.
"Slow down, customer." The vendor said flatteringly, and then glared at the neighboring vendor, "Old smoker, are you trying to ruin my business?"
...
Xu Jingming held the oval stone and poured the magic power of the demon into it. The stone suddenly became hot. Xu Jingming nodded slightly: "The magic power of the sixth realm, combined with my own magical power, is powerful, but it also puts a greater burden on the magic weapon. Better materials are required. This stone, combined with some materials, can almost be used to refine a magic seal."
These precious materials can only be used by demon-suppressors.
After Xu Jingming left the market, he continued to visit the city of Lanping Prefecture.
Every time he went to a place, he must visit the city! He would also walk through most of the county towns in a prefecture.
He watched the lives of various people in the city, encountered demons, and captured the soul to refine demons! When refining demons, the obsessions and memories of the demons were integrated into Xu Jingming's consciousness, allowing Xu Jingming to understand their lives more deeply.
The demon-suppressing world is huge!
After all, the eighth-level and seventh-level star life in a universe are all in the same demon-suppressing world. Even if the cost of establishing an account is high, and even if many eighth-level star life will try other paths, the number of demon-suppressing people here is still huge, and the number of ordinary people is more than ten thousand times more.
Countless ordinary people also have various destinies, and Xu Jingming observes and studies them.
******
Not only studying in the demon-suppressing world, Xu Jingming is also studying humanities and scientific knowledge.
"Some of the gains I have made from watching people in the demon-suppressing world are actually summarized in the humanities knowledge of the universe human alliance." Xu Jingming sat in his own courtyard, looking at the large amount of humanities knowledge on the screen. The brain of the eighth-level star life made him remember a lot of knowledge with a glance, and there were hundreds of examples in the demon-suppressing world in his mind to verify.
"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. And humanities knowledge determines character and destiny." The more Xu Jingming observes, the more he values this aspect.
Even though 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.
"Human destiny."
"The destiny of civilization."
"Over and over again, it's just those things." Xu Jingming looked at the scientific knowledge in front of him, "Scientific knowledge is truly endless."
Before Xu Jingming learned the evolution method, although he was a science student, the knowledge he learned at that time was still very shallow.
Now as an eighth-level starry sky life, he can read a lot of knowledge from the Yuanchu Research Institute, and he can even read the manuscripts of many great scholars! It is naturally a great help to Xu Jingming.
"Jingming, what are you looking at?" Li Miaomiao came over and took a look from a distance. She was dizzy by the dense characters. "All kinds of characters."
"Those are just some characters with special meanings, which can make the formula more concise." Xu Jingming exclaimed, "Miaomiao, scientific knowledge is really amazing. Can you believe that with just a few formulas, you can deduce thousands of formulas based on them and interpret the meaning of everything in the universe."
Li Miaomiao blinked.
"Yes."
Xu Jingming looked up at the sky, "When you suddenly realize that those formulas and theorems have explained the vast and huge laws of the universe, you will be shocked. This is the power of knowledge."
"If you understand the knowledge, you can use a little flame to burst out the power to destroy stars."
"But at the same time, you can also transform a barren planet into a planet suitable for survival." Xu Jingming's eyes were full of longing, "I really want to become a source life. Source life can control the source power of the universe. As long as you master the knowledge, you can use the source power of the universe to realize various ideas."
Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "Who doesn't want to become a source life? Everyone in the entire Blue Star civilization hopes that someone can become a source life. But it's too difficult! I don't know how many galaxies and how many tens of thousands of years it takes for a source life to be born."
"Yes, it's too difficult." Xu Jingming nodded. Even if he got the core chapter of the "Yuanchu Star Conjecture", the supreme inheritance of the universe and mankind, it would take him a long time to become a source life.
Xu Jingming buried his head and continued to read scientific knowledge.
The accumulation of scientific knowledge can also allow him to have a deeper understanding of "The Light Chapter" and the existence of Yuanchu Star, so that the effect of visualization can be better.
…
The accumulation of knowledge must be accumulated slowly over time. No matter how good the method is, you have to learn it slowly and down-to-earth.
In the demon-suppressing world, observe the living beings and refine the demons in the mind.
In the real world, learn humanities and scientific knowledge and study "The Light Chapter".
Xu Jingming is growing up every day. He feels that time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, Xu Jingming has become an eighth-level star life for ten years.
******
Blue Star, Binhai City.
Dinglingling!
As the school bell rang, many students walked out of the campus.
"See you in the virtual world tonight."
"Class 2, don't run away if you have the courage tonight, five vs five! Our class 1 will fight you."
"Who is afraid of who?"
The students said, each one was very excited.
As minors, they still have to go to school during the day and get along with people of their age. Only when they return home can they enter the virtual world.
"Look, Xu Lixing."
"Xu Lixing from Class 3, Grade 1."
"Her father is Xu Jingming, the first person on Blue Star. Less than two years after the popularization of the evolution method, Xu Jingming became a seventh-level starry sky life. Xu Lixing is twelve years old this year and also won the first place in the global competition for the junior group. It's really amazing."
A group of students looked at a girl in the distance, as if looking at a star.
Xu Lixing is indeed a big star on Blue Star. Since she was in kindergarten, she has been the focus of everyone's attention. A large number of media pay attention to her and report her news.
"Let's go home."
Xu Lixing got on a small aircraft on the side of the road. Nowadays, this kind of small aircraft is still very common on Blue Star, and there are tens of millions of them in the world. I believe that in a few decades, it will completely replace cars.
"Okay." The butler robot Xiaowu, sitting in the aircraft, came to pick up Xu Lixing in person.
"Auntie Xiaowu." Xu Lixing couldn't help saying, "Since I won the first place in the junior group, people take pictures of me wherever I go."
"Lixing, haven't you been used to it since you were a child?" Butler Xiaowu said with a smile.
"It's different. It's much crazier now than before. 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 Xiaowu said: "According to your father, you can only reach the fifth level at the age of twelve. There are billions of people with higher talents than you in the countless civilizations in the universe."
"I'm the best in the world!" Xu Lixing glared.
"But you have been learning martial arts since you were a child. Your father taught you personally. It took you nearly ten years to reach the fifth level." Butler Xiaowu said.
"I have worked very hard. My parents are very strict. When I was seven years old, I was at the third level. When I was ten years old, I was at the fourth level. This year, I won the first place in the world in the junior group at the fifth level. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when mentioning me? Speaking of which, my father was only at the fifth level at the age of thirty! Humph, let's see how I surpass him in the future." Xu Lixing said.
"Lixing, all of us, including your father, are looking forward to you surpassing him." Butler Xiaowu said.
"Just wait and see."
Xu Lixing won the first place in the world for the first time. It was when he was full of vigor and fighting spirit.
Soon, the aircraft landed in the family yard.
"Dad, Mom."
As soon as Xu Lixing stepped out of the aircraft, he ran to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.
Xu Jingming looked at his daughter, who was twelve years old. Because of years of practicing evolution, she was tall and already 1.75 meters tall. She was already a big girl.
As his daughter grew older, Xu Jingming was a little worried. He didn't know which boy would marry her in the future, so he had to keep a close eye on her.
"Eat some fruit." Li Miaomiao pointed to the fruit plate beside him.
"I had some snacks on the way. I went into the virtual world first. Call me at dinner time." Xu Lixing said, and 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 used to pester me." Li Miaomiao also looked at the fruit in front of her, "Now that I've prepared the fruit, she won't eat it. My daughter is grown up and doesn't obey her mother."
"Our daughter has reached the fifth level. After some time, she will become a star life and have a separate virtual room." Xu Jingming said, "As a mother, do you have to cultivate yourself into a star life?"
"I'm still young, I want to try hard." Li Miaomiao's attitude was very firm.
Xu Jingming nodded and smiled: "Okay, whatever you want."
In his own family, apart from himself, his father Xu Hong broke through to the fifth level on his own two years ago and became a life in the starry sky. All in all, it took my father eleven years of practice from the time he obtained the Evolution Method to reach the fifth level.
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 would be willing to spend money to be promoted to stars in the sky.
In the entire human race in the universe, the vast majority of life in the stars are breakthroughs made by external forces. This is the reason! When one person rises, he will naturally help his loved ones. Even because the lifespan of the starry sky is very long, it will affect subsequent generations and eventually form a huge family.
…
Virtual World Network, Xu Jingming’s personal space.
Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and clicked on his 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) Level 98%), hidden weapon (Level 8 87%)
Basic combat power: 530 billion
Energy: 106 billion
Actual combat bonus: 63 times
Combat strength: 40 trillion (please follow the regulations of the Universe 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 training."
"However, the eighth level limit is still far away from the source of life." Xu Jingming knew this very well.
He gently clicked on 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 being, 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 able to survive 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 still under the premise that progress can be made continuously. Many eighth-level extreme practitioners have become desperate and given up after a long time.
This also makes the number of life forms in the human race 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 such efficiency, it will take two hundred years to become a source of life?"
