In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

'Never thought I, a humble Daoist, would see this day.'

Wang Ji Xuanzhen never expected it.

A mere Qi Refining realm actually made him work tirelessly for nineteen days and nights before he barely managed to step into it!

If meditation and entering samadhi couldn't replace sleep, he might have needed a month!

In his previous life, when Wang Ji Xuan first started cultivating, a wisp of inner breath was born with his first meditation, a Great Heavenly Cycle formed in half a month, and his Qi was full in less than a month. It took him less than a hundred days to enter the Spirit Gathering realm and begin condensing the three souls and seven spirits to form his own divine self.

Although there were many factors involved, the main one was that the spiritual energy in this world was relatively thin, far inferior to the world of his previous life, and this body was already in its twenties, with most of its meridians already blocked…

Fortunately, he still managed to step in.

Wang Ji Xuan clenched his fist, a wisp of Qi circulating and coiling beneath his skin.

The punch he threw now already had almost the same force as when he used the Vajra Warrior Mantra before, and it wouldn't hurt himself.

Qi residing between the skin, flesh, and blood is the beginning of Qi Refining.

Wang Ji Xuan carefully calculated that to reach the state of full Qi, based on his current cultivation speed, it would take at least four or five months.

However, the threat of the Black Fire Gang was imminent.

He had lived in this safe house for a long time, and had gone out three times to find food, so it was hard to guarantee that the news wouldn't leak.

If this matter wasn't settled, he wouldn't have peace of mind.

'Now that I, a humble Daoist, have entered the Qi Refining realm, it's time to settle accounts with them.'

Wang Ji Xuan habitually shook his sleeves, then realized that he was only wearing underwear and sitting cross-legged on the bed, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

He jumped up, a wisp of Qi circulating within him along the difficultly opened Heavenly Cycle route, making his steps very light and his perception more sensitive.

Turning on the faucet, Wang Ji Xuan quickly washed away the dirt discharged from his pores.

Water was the only free resource in the fortress;

Accompanied by the sound of water, Wang Ji Xuan's thoughts were racing.

He had decided to take the initiative, so he had to be fully prepared.

Team Leader Zhou had sent him several messages, the most recent one being four days ago. Wang Ji Xuan received a note when he went out to buy emergency food. The note had Team Leader Zhou's mark on it, and the content of the note was that the Black Fire Gang was putting more and more pressure on Team Leader Zhou, and Team Leader Zhou might kick Wang Ji Xuan out of the safe house at any time.

'Fellow Daoist Zhou is a good officer. Later, when I, a humble Daoist, have improved my cultivation and can refine pills, I will naturally give him a few pills to prolong his life as a thank you.'

'Within the Black Fire Gang, the greatest threat is that mechanical hidden weapon called a gun.'

'To catch thieves, catch the king first. It's best to solve the Black Fire Gang's leader first, this person is the root of the trouble.'

According to Wang Ji Xuan's understanding, the entire Lower City was very chaotic, and the Black Fire Gang should also have a large number of people. To take the enemy general's head from among thousands of troops was not an easy task for him now.

Wang Ji Xuan was thinking about some problems that he would never have thought about when he was cultivating hard in his previous life.

In a cultivator's battle, it's all about tools and techniques.

Low-level cultivators' spells can be simply divided into three categories: incantations, talismans, and artifact manipulation.

[Incantations] use fixed incantations to mobilize the power of the soul and primordial spirit, drive spiritual energy, and condense incantations, which is the most basic method.

He had used it several times before, such as the Tranquility Mantra, Fire Control Mantra, and Swift Travel Mantra.

[Talismans] refer to drawing talisman patterns and secret records on special talisman paper, and condensing part of the mana into the talisman. The advantage is that you can directly throw out the talisman to cast spells during battles, and the way of talismans is varied. High-level monks often prepare some protective talismans for low-level monks.

Wang Ji Xuan was now preparing to get some talismans for protection. Although he wasn't very proficient in this way, he also had several talisman encyclopedias in his mind.

The problem was suitable talisman paper and spirit liquid.

[Artifact Manipulation] — is to control magical artifacts.

Restrictions are engraved inside and outside the magic weapon. The most basic magic weapon can inject mana, absorb spiritual energy, and sacrifice the magic weapon to defeat the enemy and win.

The simplest magic weapons are peach wood swords and protective amulets. Slightly more advanced magic weapons include Qiankun Rings and sword pills for sword control techniques. High-level magic weapons are also called magic treasures, and there are countless categories.

Weapon refining was something that Wang Ji Xuan was relatively good at, but now, he only had various metal objects that he was not familiar with, making it difficult to exert his abilities.

A skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice;

The Daoist priest also doesn't have usable magic weapons.

Wang Ji Xuan's favorite sword control technique could only be practiced when he reached the fourth realm of Foundation Establishment, and forging sword pills also required some precious materials.

These were all out of the question, so there was no need to consider them for the time being.

'Now I can think of ways to get some talismans for protection, but where should I find this talisman paper and spirit liquid?'

Wang Ji Xuan was slightly lost in thought looking at the mirror.

Gurgle—

A roar came from his stomach.

Wang Ji Xuan smiled bitterly. He had not yet completed Foundation Establishment and could not do without grains, meat, and eggs.

Turning his head and glanced at the food cabinet;

Empty.

Because he hadn't gone to work for twenty consecutive days, the three types of rations issued this month were halved at the same time, and the numbers in his ration card were also in danger.

…

Eating is the top priority for fortress residents.

Among all kinds of supply gaps, food shortages have always been an unavoidable problem.

If it weren't for the technology of artificial synthetic starch, which allowed the fortress to exchange electricity for food, and the fortress's intelligent control center to dispatch all resources around the clock, Fortress No. 76 would not be able to support so many people.

Wang Ji Xuan put on a mask and a baseball cap, wrapped himself in a gray jacket that he had exchanged for general rations the last time he went out, and hurried to the emergency food vending machine whose location he had surveyed last time.

Food vending machines are usually set up in circular gardens where [capillary passages] converge. There will be some simple green belts here, and better places will also have some fitness equipment.

When Wang Ji Xuan went out, he deliberately chose normal working hours, which was the quietest time in the Central City residential area.

He was actually considering a problem — without work, there would be no food rations, and he would starve to death before he could go on a fast.

'After I, a humble Daoist, solve the Black Fire Gang's matter, I will also have to engage in some physical labor.'

'Just consider it as doing as the Romans do. I, a humble Daoist, am not ignorant of the five grains and lazy in my limbs.'

'If my fellow disciples knew, they would definitely laugh at me.'

Wang Ji Xuan chuckled to himself.

Because his cultivation was generally smooth, he felt a little more joy at this moment.

After walking for a few minutes and stepping into the circular public area, the target food vending machine came into view.

It was square in shape, with only a narrow display window and a simple card swiping area on the front, and the whole was made of high-strength alloy.

Getting closer, he could see two lines of promotional slogans pasted on its cabinet, which had faded a bit.

The latest and most complete novels are at 6 9 Shu Ba! First Release!

[Don't sing praises to power, that's just flattery.]

[Sing praises to the workers, they deserve to be praised.]

Wang Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He liked these two slogans.

Taking out the quota card from his pocket and holding it close to the card swiping area, a personal information and food list appeared on the interactive screen. Wang Ji Xuan still chose the emergency food with the lowest food quota, and spent 3 food quotas to buy a bottle of comprehensive nutrients under the suggestion of the 'Diet Assistant' in the corner of the screen.

The machine made a buzzing sound. Wang Ji Xuan already knew from Mu Liang's memory that this was the conveyor belt inside the machine working…

Huh?

Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense, which had initially recovered, suddenly sensed a trace of danger.

He turned his head slightly, and at the entrance of the [capillary passage] on his left rear, two figures rushed out quickly, stopped at the intersection, and looked towards this side.

They were wearing green tracksuits and their muscles were bulging all over their bodies.

These clothes…

Exactly the same as the two guys who were let go by Doctor Wei Na that day.

Black Fire Gang!

Wang Ji Xuan stood still, relaxing his body as much as possible, waiting for the food he had bought to fall to the exit below.

The two tracksuit strongmen not far away frowned and looked at Wang Ji Xuan's figure, temporarily unable to determine whether this was the target they were looking for, but they had already put their hands into their pockets.

Dong, dong dong dong.

Several bags of food fell inside the collection port below the machine.

Wang Ji Xuan acted as if nothing had happened, bent down, squatted down, and slowly pulled the bag outwards.

"Mu Liang?"

The strong man on the left frowned and shouted.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't react at all, his breathing was calm, and his movements were natural.

The strong man on the right squinted slightly, his eyes fell on the display screen of the food vending machine, watching the personal interface that was about to disappear in two seconds, and suddenly pulled out a pistol from his arms!

Killing intent!

Wang Ji Xuan made a decision almost instantly, and threw two large bags of emergency food at the faces of the two tracksuit strongmen.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out suddenly!

Accompanied by the firelight appearing at the muzzle, a bullet shot out!

Wang Ji Xuan's warning signs were greatly raised, and his own soul power was spontaneously stimulated. He almost saw the bullet that was about to graze his scalp, and he tried his best to control his muscles and bones, and his figure flipped backwards.

A stinging pain immediately came from his forehead!

His scalp was cut and his baseball cap was blown away!

Wang Ji Xuan completed a backflip and supported himself with one hand, his figure dodging to the right like a spring.

The two large bags of emergency food themselves had a certain weight, and were thrown out by Wang Ji Xuan, who had already entered the Qi Refining realm. After hitting one person's arm, it directly made it difficult for the other party to hold the gun.

But after the other person fired the first shot, the adrenaline soared straight up, and at this moment he frantically pulled the trigger at a corner of the food vending machine.

Gunshots rang out!

Wang Ji Xuan narrowly dodged behind the food vending machine, and the pleasant sound of bullets hitting the alloy made both sides tense.

Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!

Is this thing so powerful?

Wang Ji Xuan held his breath and quickly searched with his eyes, but he couldn't find a suitable cover.

The roars of these two people had already sounded beside him:

"Don't waste bullets!"

"I'll jump over!"

A burly man, gripping a gun with both hands, charged forward rapidly. He didn't head straight for the vending machine; he only needed to find an angle to shoot Wang Jixuan.

He was ready to leap forward!

Wang Jixuan clearly sensed the other's intention, while the other person had already locked down the space above his head. As long as he showed his face, he would be shot.

In a flash!

The charging burly man leaped forward with great force, his finger already about to pull the trigger.

Wang Jixuan's eyes flashed with golden light!

The incantation he had been silently chanting was nearing its end!

Let me roam freely, my Dao shall be natural!

He suddenly crouched and darted forward, his whole body radiating a faint golden light. Today's Divine Speed Incantation was several times more powerful than the last time he used it!

But this time, he used the Divine Speed Incantation not to escape!

Wang Jixuan rolled forward at an extremely fast speed, and before he had fully stood up, he flung a folded knife hidden in his sleeve, the blade wrapped in a layer of faint aura.

That was the Qi that Wang Jixuan had painstakingly condensed!

The burly man who had jumped forward hurriedly turned his gun. His arm raising and Wang Jixuan's knife throw occurred almost simultaneously!

Bang!
