Xu Yan returned to the inner cave. The anxious woman felt relieved to see him return. The little girl nestled in her mother's arms, blinking her curious eyes.
Xu Yan forced a smile as a greeting, then took out his phone and started recording: "Old Li, Old Zhang..."
I only managed to say four words before I got stuck.
I have so much to say, but I don't know where to begin.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself: as a professional writer, he was quite sensitive to words, but unfortunately, this talent didn't extend to his speech.
After a moment of silence, he simply turned off his phone, took out a folding table and chair, lit a spirit pearl for illumination, and wrote a few words: Brother Li, Brother Zhang...
Xu Yan stopped writing, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Having stayed here for a long time, I've developed a habit of speaking in a literary style all day long, and it just comes naturally to me when I write it down.
Never mind, as long as I can understand it!
Continued on line break: Tonight, as planned, the video was played at Qianlu Xianfang, and the effect met expectations. However, we were then ambushed by the Blood Demon Cult...
Xu Yan briefly described what had happened, then broke free of the narrative framework: The Immortal Pavilion was destroyed, and I only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious. I rescued the mother and daughter, and if they encounter any danger, I may be able to bring them back to the mortal world. Please inform me in advance.
The tungsten steel sword is broken, most of the ammunition is used up, and one of the light blades is damaged. Now only the Smoke Shadow and Ink Shadow swords remain with him, and he urgently needs to replenish his supplies...
Regarding equipment, I have the following considerations:
1. The heavy sniper rifle is very useful, but the bullets are not powerful enough. Is it possible to develop more powerful spirit talisman bullets? Ideally, they should reach the level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman. Or, we can think of a solution from a technological perspective, such as using a propellant with higher energy density. A larger recoil is not a problem; I can withstand it.
2. The tungsten steel heavy sword needs to be reinforced; the higher the strength, the better.
3. We urgently need weapons and equipment to fight against Golden Core cultivators and even Nascent Soul cultivators. Please consult my master for advice and think of a solution.
4. Weapon improvements...
5. Replenish reconnaissance equipment as soon as possible...
6. Basic kitchen utensils such as power banks and rice cookers are also required...
He has a lot of food stored up, but convenience foods are fine to eat occasionally, but eating them every meal would be too much!
Finally, it was written: "A Qiankun Ring has been seized. It contains restrictions. Please hand it over to my master for disposal."
P.S.: Please deliver the replenished supplies in batches according to the agreed time!
The signature is now complete.
Xu Yan took out a metal cylinder, put the letter and the Qiankun Ring inside, stepped out of the formation, aimed carefully, and suddenly threw the metal cylinder out.
The light gate opens and closes instantly, and only opens to the size of a washbasin; it closes immediately after the metal cylinder passes through.
He had been reducing consumption by shortening the opening time, but not long ago he suddenly had a brilliant idea: if shortening the time works, what about shortening the opening area?
The experimental results were very encouraging.
Normally, activating it would consume at least half a unit of spiritual energy, but activating it instantly would only require several hundred units, and now it only requires two or three hundred units.
If there is enough time, some of it can be replaced with true essence, and the spiritual techniques saved alone would amount to an astronomical figure!
If he hadn't been completely desperate, he would have liked to stuff himself into the ring...
Well, once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage and master the unity of body and sword, I might only need to spend a few dozen dollars to travel back and forth between the real world and the mortal realm.
After giving the woman a few brief instructions, Xu Yan found a nearby spot and set up a separate formation to meditate and cultivate.
For the next period of time, the cave would shake from time to time, and rocks would fall down with a crash. The mother and daughter were terrified every day, their hearts in their throats.
Xu Yan wasn't much better off. Unable to see what was happening outside, he felt like he had become blind and deaf, like an anxious groundhog.
A full day... or 3 hours and 42 minutes later in the present world, Xu Yan's divine sense saw through the light gate that the first batch of supplies was ready, and he immediately opened the light gate to send a signal.
Li Er immediately used a slingshot to shoot the metal tube into the light gate, completing the first replenishment.
Inside the metal tube was a magic bag and an envelope addressed to Xu Moting.
Well, it was quite a novel experience; it was the first time he'd ever received a letter in his entire life.
Take out the letter and unfold it: Greetings.
Your letter has been received. Please prioritize your own safety and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
The necessary supplies are being prepared and are scheduled to be delivered at the agreed time. Please check your mail.
The reserve of spirit stones has been exhausted, and there are no more jade talisman bullets in stock. Please collect them carefully.
After reading the letter, he took out several boxes of ammunition from his storage bag, including 12.7mm and 18.4mm ammunition... Time was too tight, so they were all the standard versions without added propellant.
In addition to ammunition, there was also a drone and a kitchenware gift set.
Xu Yan had always wanted to know what was happening outside, but when the drone arrived, he hesitated.
Previously, even if drones were discovered, it wouldn't matter. There are so many people in the Immortal Pavilion, who would know who put them down?
Now that time has passed and those who were meant to leave have left, if we release the drones now, wouldn't it be telling the Blood Demon Cult that we are still nearby if they discover them?
Forget it, I'll just have to bear with it a little longer.
He spent some time teaching the woman how to use modern kitchen utensils, officially handing over the logistical power to her.
The woman glanced at the food and water piled up in the corner, then at her daughter sleeping soundly on the cot, overwhelmed with gratitude. In a moment of impulse, she exclaimed, "Immortal Master, your kindness is beyond my ability to repay. If you do not find fault with me..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when his face turned bright red, his eyes darting around furtively.
Xu Yan was startled, and her heart suddenly raced.
Although this woman was not a stunning beauty, she had an excellent figure and a rather pretty face...
No, what are you thinking about?
Is this how you test your cadres?
Xu Yan quickly recited socialist values silently and righteously refused, "There's no need for that. I... I saved you not for this!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away... ran away!
He has watched many instructional videos and saved a lot of them, but he is definitely not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress.
To avoid embarrassment, from then on, Xu Yan would only appear when the little girl was awake, and would avoid her at other times to prevent both of them from feeling awkward.
Although he tried to avoid it, Xu Yan couldn't help but fantasize about what would happen if he hadn't refused, which made his Dao heart start to waver.
Over the next few days, the cave would shake from time to time, but fortunately the intensity was not high.
Three days later... that is, ten hours later in the present world, the second batch of supplies arrived, and Xu Yan received the new tungsten steel heavy sword.
The weight remained the same, but the size increased, and some methods were used to increase its strength.
Although this sword is not the pinnacle of modern craftsmanship and materials, it is not far off. According to Master Cheng's advice, it is necessary to use cultivation techniques to further enhance its strength.
Xu Yan seemed to see Master Cheng standing in front of him, smiling as he stroked his beard and said, "You unfilial disciple, hurry up and learn weapon crafting!"
Besides the greatsword, there is also a pistol with a very futuristic design.
12.7 mm caliber, caseless bullet... This thing is basically a piece of high-energy propellant the size of an effervescent tablet stuck to the back of the warhead, like having hemorrhoids.
Not only are there no cartridge cases, but even the primer is omitted, requiring an electric arc to detonate.
That's why it's specially made. In Xu Yan's hands, it's a deadly weapon, but in other people's hands, it's not even as good as a fire poker!
