Chapter 75: Absorbing Aura Crystals
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“A few years ago, the Shadowblood Sect began to plant Magic Faction warriors in Dingyun County. Both ordinary civilians and Black Armored Guards were involved.”
“Because of this, the rebellion in Dingyun County was easily executed.”
Wei Changqing continued to say, “Their tactic of converting people to Magic Faction warriors have also appeared in Kangyun County. But fortunately, we discovered this in time and stabilized the situation.”
“According to the interrogations of the Magic Faction warriors we have captured, we have scared away a ton of potential Magic Faction warriors who have not yet surfaced…”
“But…”
Wei Changqing paused and looked at the faces of all the lieutenants. “We are not certain whether all the potential Magic Faction warriors in the county have been dealt with. Moreover, we are not sure if the Black Armored Guards has been infiltrated.”
As soon as Wei Changqing said this, the atmosphere in the assembly hall became a little tense..
No one was certain whether the colleagues around them were involved with a Magic Faction.
Wei Changqing smiled and said, “You don’t have to be too nervous. After all, we are all colleagues here. Don’t be too guarded.”
“But if you find something suspicious while working with your colleagues, please report it as soon as possible…”
Wei Changqing said.
“Okay, these are basically the problems we are facing.”
Wei Changqing said, “To summarize, the enemy is currently ready to fight. Pay close attention to suspicious activity in the city. For those that are suspected of being involved with a Magic Faction, do not let them escape, immediately arrest and interrogate them.”
“In order to deal with the current situation, we are preparing to shrink the size of the guard stations and expand the number of Black Armored Guards in the camp.”
“Regardless of the jurisdiction area size, if there are more than seven people in a single guard station, extra personnel will be assigned to a camp for combat preparation. Also, the number of city guards in a guard station should be below 30. Just like the Black Armored Guards, additional city guards will enter city guard camps for combat preparations.”
Xu Ning listened carefully.
‘Shrink the size of guard stations and expand the scale of the army…’
Xu Ning thought while listening.
Including himself, there were a total of six Black Armored Guards at Maple Lane, so there was no need to send any Black Armored Guards away.
However, they had close to 40 city guards, so ten of them had to be removed.
Xu Ning didn’t need to care about this matter; he could just let Feng Sigua handle it.
“Also, recently in Qiuyun County, some wealthy businessmen and high-level family members are trying to escape. Some of them have contacted us. They will take all their household resources and come to Kangyun County.”
Wei Changqing said again, “This is a good thing for Kangyun County… After all, both material resources and martial arts resources are important during times of war.”
All of the lieutenants understood that Wei Changqing was planning on using these defectors.
But this was fair. Once the defectors came to Kangyun County, they would be protected.
“Afterwards, there will be some teams from the camp reserves to escort the defectors from Qiuyun County to safety. At the same time, we will also arrange the guard stations to be on standby.”
“I hope everyone will execute the orders seriously.”
“Yes!”
The lieutenants responded.
…
After the meeting was over, Xu Ning returned to the guard station and passed on the message from the meeting today.
Everyone in the guard station also knew that the situation was uncertain, so they executed their tasks seriously.
Even Xu Ning began to personally investigate all the suspicious spots in Maple Lane, to ensure that there were no suspicious Magic Faction warriors in Maple Lane.
Three days went by.
Xu Ning returned home, and he was surprised to find that the Thousand Source Bug in his ceramic pot had actually expelled Aura Crystals!
This made Xu Ning quite happy and surprised.
According to what Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng said, it would take more than ten days for the Thousand Source Bug to produce Aura Crystals.
It only took three days since the Thousand Source Bug had hatched, for it to expel its first Aura Crystal.
The oil lamp in the room was lit up.
Xu Ning placed the ceramic pot on the table.
Inside the ceramic pot, the white Thousand Source Bug was lying motionless. Xu Ning did not know whether he was pretending to be dead, or asleep.
Near the white worm, there was a transparent crystal the size of a small rice grain.
The shape of this transparent crystal was exactly the same as Wei Binglin had described.
‘I wonder if Aura Crystals can be absorbed…’
Xu Ning was looking forward to this.
He carefully pinched the transparent crystal in his hand.
—
Discovered energy: 1 unit——
Absorb?
Yes/No
—
‘So it can be absorbed!’
The result did not disappoint Xu Ning.
Although it was only 1 unit of energy, Xu Ning did not care.
In the early stages, the Thousand Source Bug would release an Aura Crystal every few days.
For most people, Aura Crystals were used to reduce impurities from consuming spirit medicine and dan medicine.
But for Xu Ning, as long as Aura Crystals could be transformed into energy points, then it would greatly improve his strength.
Judging by how frequent the Thousand Source Bug expelled Aura Crystals, he could receive up to 10 units of energy a month, or at least 6 units of energy a month.
Moreover, as the Thousand Source Bug continued to grow, the quality of Aura Crystals it expelled would increase.
By then, he would receive even more energy.
“Absorb energy.”
Xu Ning absorbed the 1 unit of energy.

Xu Ning looked at the Martial Arts Panel and felt emotional.
‘I’ve been in this world for more than half a year. Half a year ago, I was only in the elementary realm of the Gale Knife Technique.’
‘But now, I have advanced two external skills to the perfection realm, and reached the mortal realm fifth stage: pneumatic realm in my internal skill.’
Looking back at it now, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
…
Kangyun County.
Black Armored Guards, Camp Site Three.
Training was being carried out almost every day at Camp Site Three.
As the newcomers were preparing for war, they must train hard in order to defeat their opponents in the upcoming battle and preserve their lives.
In order to ensure their advancement, the meals made by the chefs had been supplemented with spirit medicine.
Although the newcomers wouldn’t get stronger because of this, it would help them quickly recover and eliminate hidden injuries from training.
The night training was over.
Tao Jin went back to the room with her companions.
Tao Jin had been living in fear since she received the magic technique booklet.
When Magic Faction warriors were being captured in the county city, Tao Jin would wake up from nightmares at night in fear.
But after a long time, no one came to trouble her, not even the man in the hat who gave her the Shadow Breath Blood Passage.
“I heard that over the next few days, Camp Site Three will send a team to Qiuyun County to escort important personnel.”
“I heard that this task was assigned to newcomers, mainly for us to gain practical experience…”
Several female colleagues were talking next to Tao Jin.
Tao Jin listened and wanted to say a few words.
But suddenly, Tao Jin noticed that a person wearing a hat was standing in the room.
Tao Jin’s pupils shrank, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Immediately after, the person in the hat disappeared as he jumped out of the room.
‘They’re coming…’
Tao Jin clenched her fists.
