Chapter 554

Alice's expression was somewhat strange, and after a while, she said tactfully:

"Himeko, you should know that this is a mystical world, right? Armor and such basically cannot have any effect on the fierce beasts here."

To put it bluntly, Himeko's Godslayer armor is indeed very powerful; even against gods, it might not be unable to fight.

But against the existence of the cultivation world...

Then sorry...

If it were that kind of high-level civilization, a sci-fi civilization involving dimensional weapons, then it would have the qualifications to compete with the cultivation world.

But this technology that hasn't stepped out of the galaxy is just child's play in the eyes of cultivators and fierce beasts.

It's equivalent to a three-year-old holding a plastic sword and insisting on comparing marksmanship with a special forces soldier.

Himeko's Vermilion Knight armor, Alice had seen it, but to be honest, even if she were at the mid-stage of Refining Essence into Qi, she could easily break that armor.

It's hard to say that Himeko can rely on that armor to protect herself.

"I understand Elder Alice's meaning."

Himeko nodded with a smile, looking down at this mysterious and profound world full of mystery.

"However, I didn't think I could rely on the fourth-generation Godslayer armor to roam the cultivation world."

"Does Elder Alice forget that I still have a Gem of Haste?"

Taking out the Gem of Haste, which was quite obedient now, Himeko smiled lightly:

"Although the power of a Herrscher is also very small in such a world and not worth mentioning."

"But at the very least, self-protection should be enough, right? I won't take the initiative to leave Shushan Village. Staying in Shushan Village, this Gem of Haste should be enough for me to use."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Elder Alice. That Three-Turn Rebirth Pill gave me a large amount of life force, which has not been absorbed yet."

"These life forces are enough to support me in using the Gem of Haste wantonly."

"In this way, can I stay in Shushan Village?"

Seeing that Himeko had indeed thought about it seriously and had mature self-protection means, Alice no longer refused.

"Since that's the case, then you stay in Shushan Village, but remember not to leave Shushan Village casually."

"The demon beasts and fierce beasts in Shushan are mostly at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi. Your Gem of Haste won't be able to block them for long."

Himeko nodded heavily; she wouldn't take her life as a joke.

The original Himeko didn't have the talent like Kiana and Durandal and could only use artificial stigmata to contribute to fighting Honkai.

Later, she bet her future on Kiana, letting her continue to walk forward as a continuation of her dream to fight Honkai.

Pressing such heavy pressure on Kiana, as a teacher, how could Himeko not blame herself?

But her path had already come to an end; she was ultimately just one of the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, not a Sun Wukong who could make a scene in the Heavenly Palace.

Human power has its limits.

But now, she had an opportunity.

As long as she could cultivate, she could let Kiana and the others put down those heavy responsibilities, and when she had achievements in cultivation, she would return to the Honkai world and crush the Honkai.

In this way, Kiana and the others could also enjoy a normal youth life.

Cultivation is what Himeko desires most right now, and she also understands that, as of now, she is the greatest hope of the Honkai world.

She wouldn't play herself to death because of "making a scene."

Alice saved her and was quite good to her, but this couldn't be the basis for Himeko to be fearless.

Alice might be out of a temporary interest.

She couldn't expect Alice to always pay attention to her; she wasn't anyone to Alice.

Alice is also a Shushan Elder, not only having to deal with various Shushan work but also preparing for the upcoming Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration.

People are busy to death every day; it's good enough to bring her for a while.

Adults always have to be responsible for themselves, and Himeko is also constantly familiarizing herself with the situation in Shushan.

Remembering the terrain and landform distribution below in her mind.

Suddenly, Alice said something else.

"By the way, Himeko."

"Can you lend me your armor called Vermilion Knight for a while?"

Himeko froze for a moment and nodded decisively.

"Of course, if Elder Alice wants it, you can have it, but that armor is already broken, and I won't repair it..."

"It doesn't matter."

Alice waved her hand indifferently and said with a giggle:

"I don't intend to wear it either. I am a dignified cultivator; what does it look like to wear technological armor?"

"It's just that I've been working with Cloud Retainer recently to forge a set of Purple Gold Qilin Dragon Armor, and I have no clue yet."

"I see that your armor looks like a set of clothes, but it can make you burst out with power beyond the limit."

"Borrowing it to study, maybe it can make the Purple Gold Qilin Dragon Armor take shape as soon as possible."

"By then, it can also be sold for a lot in the Merit Hall."

Himeko realized, but shook her head again.

"That Vermilion Knight armor is actually a Key of Blankness left by the previous civilization of our world. Install whatever Herrscher core, and it can burst out whatever power."

"That armor is strong, but what's truly strong is the Herrscher core."

As she spoke, Himeko took out the Gem of Haste and handed it to Alice.

"If Elder Alice wants to study it, it's best to study this Gem of Haste."

"No need."

Alice waved her hand indifferently:

"Isn't it just a high-concentration Honkai energy aggregate? I can take a mid-grade spirit stone and install it, and it will be stronger than this."

"Mid-grade spirit stone?"

Himeko looked at Alice curiously; she was very curious about everything about cultivation.

"It's this."

Alice casually took out a milky white, round gem.

Himeko didn't take it; across a distance, she sensed the energy in this spirit stone that could be called as deep as the sea.

To be honest, Himeko had never seen such a terrifying energy concentration on the Honkai energy engine of the Hyperion.

Not only is the concentration high, but the quality is even higher.

A mid-grade spirit stone is probably more abundant in energy than a Herrscher's Herrscher core.

Looking at the Gem of Haste in her hand again, Himeko silently put it away.

Comparing her own garbage with a cultivator's—she wouldn't do such a brain-dead thing.

"This is the general currency of our cultivators, and it is also something that cultivators need when practicing."

Alice introduced it to Himeko seriously.

"Spirit stones have many uses; not only can you absorb the spiritual power in them to practice, but formations, refining tools, refining pills, etc., all need spirit stones."

"Spirit stones are divided into four grades; the lowest-grade low-grade spirit stones are exchanged for one in Shushan for one contribution point."

"One mid-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one hundred mid-grade spirit stones are worth one high-grade spirit stone."

"And the final one, a top-grade spirit stone equivalent to one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"But top-grade spirit stones can only be used by the Sect Leader for now."

"The Elders and Peak Masters of our Shushan have some fixed spirit stone salary every month."

"Of course, limited to inner disciples."

Himeko nodded half-understandably, but looking at the spirit stone before her, Himeko couldn't help but feel emotional.

"If this thing were embedded in the Key of Blankness, perhaps..."

"Good idea!"

Alice clapped Himeko on the shoulder with a smile.

"It's a pity that your Vermilion Knight might not be able to withstand a mid-grade spirit stone. Even if it can be embedded after modification, it's not something an ordinary person can control."

"Strictly speaking, spiritual energy is even more terrifying than Honkai energy."

Himeko deeply agreed with this point.

Honkai energy is indeed cruel, but only large Honkai can give birth to high-level Honkai beasts.

But look at Shushan right now.

Huge fierce beasts, fierce beasts like mountains and peaks, are everywhere.
