This way, even a farmer trained in Yalidu City would wield a white pitchfork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Xi enter, a busy Anderson couldn’t help but look up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s up? Do you need something, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anderson, I have a request. Last time, you used the Soul Stone’s hydraulic press...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a High-Pressure Air Hammer,\" Anderson rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, a High-Pressure Air Hammer then. I wanted to ask if it’s possible to create a crossbow carriage that can launch this High-Pressure Air Hammer, precisely striking a soul stone to shatter it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi shared his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anderson glanced at Gu Xi and finally asked, \"Which position are you talking about? Is it firing from below upwards or from above downwards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi immediately sensed an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t feasible, Anderson wouldn’t have asked so specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s the thing. My position shouldn’t be too close. There’s nothing taller around, about sixty meters high from the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While explaining, Gu Xi drew a diagram. It wasn’t too detailed, but the general idea was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the diagram Gu Xi drew on the ground, Anderson furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this, you can’t. If you want to destroy something on the ground, I can temporarily make an assault vehicle, add the High-Pressure Air Hammer to the front, ensuring the first strike achieves your desired effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target you’re aiming for is too high. Unless you use a catapult to hurl the object upwards, it’s almost impossible. With a catapult, the explosive force of the stone bullet disperses in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To shatter a soul stone, you’d need more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increasing the explosive power will shatter most items, leaving very little intact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Anderson, Gu Xi didn’t hesitate at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine, even if it just explodes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, in that case, making a small area, high-power explosive stone bullet is feasible, but there’s another issue: Can you accurately hit your desired target position with the stone bullet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question left Gu Xi a bit troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood there would be many more issues ahead, like how he would escape after launching the catapult, how to retrieve the items once the Life-taking Stone was shattered, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these needed Gu Xi’s consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Anderson could make such a stone bullet, it meant feasibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining challenges were his to overcome one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t be precise, then widen the range, increase the power fourfold, no, fivefold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fivefold increase? Doing so might destroy all the gems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi didn’t care about that; the gems didn’t matter to him. His target was the potential Orange Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Orange Armor wouldn’t be destroyed, it was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, I’m just doing this for revenge; I don’t care about the gems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi didn’t want to discuss the Orange Armor with Anderson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he hadn’t acquired it and its appearance wasn’t guaranteed, there was no point mentioning it. Only possession legitimized his claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gu Xi, Anderson understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll help with this. You’ll get an explosive stone bullet with fivefold power in two days, but I’m only making one — it’s too dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine, just make this one first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Anderson’s agreement, Gu Xi felt half relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a method to destroy the Life-taking Stone, Gu Xi’s thoughts began to move freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of the plan was set; now, it was about arranging details around this core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi striking in person was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yi’s situation was clear. Xia Yi merely released the Flying Dragon, actively attacking the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, but was dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi couldn’t ensure that using a catapult wouldn’t have the same result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, others had to act; Gu Xi absolutely couldn’t get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerning the position of the attack, Gu Xi certainly couldn’t place the catapult directly out in the open, signaling the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin of an impending attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin wasn’t foolish. If it found something threatening, it would definitely destroy it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, after shattering the Life-taking Stone, how to collect the dropped items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi didn’t want to end up blowing the items out, only for them to be collected by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would truly embarrass Gu Xi — his actions fueled by the desire for Orange Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting nothing, achieving revenge for Xia Yi, and potentially losing out more, wasn’t Gu Xi’s intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he needed to discuss with Luna, to explore if there was a way to collect everything when the items fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all considerations for Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When lacking complete assurance, Gu Xi would not proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While contemplating various scenarios in Yalidu City, Luna, knowing of Gu Xi’s arrival, hurried over from the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna, you came just in time. I have something to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luna arrive, Gu Xi immediately started discussing the two matters he came for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was dealing with the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin and looting items afterward; the other was about leaving buildings in the city to ensure future re-entry into this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gu Xi’s two matters, Luna thought for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1062,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","131669b3d7a699a0dbacd57a4dc7b1e0efffc0c14b0ea313ef0397dd6aec5f9e","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-388","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-386",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
