  Chapter 1 Twenty-Three Silver Dragons

   Gulp, rice is boiling in the pot.

  A spiritual storage card is quietly inserted into the operation box next to the pot. Like the electric energy on the earth, the spiritual storage card can provide precious and continuous and stable spiritual energy for the spiritual rice cooker.

   "Psionic..."

   "Spirituality..."

  Duke withdrew his distant gaze and mixed thoughts, and the Lingfan pot just happened to trip. A pot of fragrant rice was cooked, and the sausages in the steamer were also steamed.

   Served with a plate of pickled cabbage, it is Duke's breakfast in the morning.

  Although the food was relatively shabby, Duke still ate hungrily, and there were three whole bowls of rice. In fact, when this body failed to open the sea of ​​blood, the blood boiling potion drained all its energy.

  The family is poor and can only make up for it by eating.

   "Huh."

   After cooking the rice, he finally felt a little bit of strength back. Duke didn't care to clean up the dishes, and quickly locked the door and walked to the street. The street was lined with low-rise bungalows.

   Early risers are already busy.

   Passing through an alley, there was a scream from the eaves.

   Immediately there was a squeak, and someone pushed open the window, and a taupe owl flapped its wings and landed on the edge of the window, holding a small bundle under its claws.

  The host took out a silver coin and put it in the small cloth bag hanging around the owl's neck.

  The owl let go of its claws, dropped its burden, and flew away with a flap of its wings.

   "The postman owl, 0 ring spirit beast."

  Duke glanced at it, and his memory gave the answer.

  0 Ring spirit beasts are between wild beasts and spirit beasts. They are much smarter and smarter than wild beasts, and can be competent for many jobs. For example, the postman owl was domesticated and used as a courier.

   Ignoring the postman's owl, he walked through a few alleys with slightly heavy steps, and came to a shop with "Little Sam Shuka Shop" hanging on it.

  The door of the store has been opened, and someone is cleaning.

   "Morning, Bob."

   "It's early for you too, Little Duke." Bob looked up. He was forty years old and a regular worker in Little Sam's Shuka shop. "Your face is a little pale, what's going on?"

   "Um, it's nothing." Duke showed an embarrassing smile just right.

   "Oh, I remembered. I heard from Bobby that you bought the boiling blood potion. Is this caused by opening the blood sea?" Bob asked concerned, "Did the blood sea open successfully?"

"No."

  Duke lowered his head.

  Who would have known that he was no longer the familiar Duke, but a brand-new Duke who returned from the earth after Duke failed to open the sea of ​​blood and drained himself dry.

   In order not to attract attention, "Duke" has to play Duke well.

  Bob obviously didn’t know anything about Duke’s changes. He shook his head pretending to be regretful, and patted Duke on the shoulder: “Don’t be discouraged, this only shows that we are all ordinary people, let’s go to work.”

"Um."

  Duke walks to the number three station in the repair area of ​​the shop.

  He is an apprentice in Little Sam's repair shop, and he learns card repairing skills from card repairer Best.

   "Hi, Duke Duke!" In the second booth next door, Bob's son Bobby was wiping the table with a rag, and poked his head over, "Did you buy blood boiling potion yesterday?"

  Without waiting for Duke to answer, Bobby winked and laughed: "You must not have opened Blood Sea, look at your pale face, hey, if you open Blood Sea, you will come back to work!"

   On the farther station No. 1, the apprentice Thomas also leaned over with his head tilted: "I said earlier that spending money on blood boiling potions is a waste. It would be nice to save money to marry a wife in the future."

   Facing the sarcasm from the apprentices, Duke said absently and perfunctorily: "Always give it a try."

  He has too many things on his mind.

  There are three seas in the human body, the sea of ​​energy, the sea of ​​blood, and the sea of ​​spirit. Opening one of them can embark on the extraordinary path. The predecessor spent all his savings last night to buy a potion of boiling blood, and wanted to open the sea of ​​​​blood before his fifteenth birthday.

  If it is later than fifteen years old, it will be difficult to open it.

pity.

  The potion of boiling blood failed to help him open the sea of ​​blood. In addition, he bought another potion for increasing Qi three months ago, and he failed to open the sea of ​​​​qi. It means that two of the three paths of practice have been broken.

   "For the current plan, the only way is to open the spiritual sea!"

  To open the spiritual sea, you need an auxiliary spirit awakening potion. A spirit awakening potion is worth twenty-three silver dragons. Now his pockets are clean and he has no clue where to get the money.

  The official currency of the Seven Towers Federation is the Dragon Coin, which is divided into three types: Gold Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Bronze Dragon.

  One golden dragon can be exchanged for one hundred silver dragons, and one silver dragon can be exchanged for one hundred bronze dragons.

   The purchasing power of a copper dragon is about the same as a dollar.

   "Twenty-three hundred yuan...'I' receive five and a half silver dragons a month as an apprentice, which is equal to five hundred and five. It takes more than four months to save without food or drink." Duke skillfully disassembled, wiped, and reassembled the instruments on the workstation, which had become his body's muscle memory.

  Among the three seas, there is still Linghai that has not tried to open it.

   But Duke was convinced he could turn it on.

   This is his golden finger as a traveler, and what is lacking now is a medicine guide to open the spiritual sea, a spirit awakening potion worth twenty-three silver dragons.

a quarter past nine.

  A middle-aged man in long-sleeved overalls walked into the card repair shop, with a mustache on his face, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Little Duke, is my coffee ready?"

   "It's ready, Mr. Best." Duke picked up the coffee cup.

  Best took the coffee, took a sip, reached out and wiped the long table at No. 3 station, frowned and scolded: "I can't even wipe the table clean, why don't you hurry up and wipe it again!"

   Actually the table has been wiped clean.

  But Duke didn't argue, picked up the rag and wiped it again.

  The teacher Best in front of him is one of the three external card repairers in Little Sam's card repair shop. Duke is an apprentice under him and learns card repairing skills from him.

  The status of apprentices is low, and it is common for them to endure insults and scolding.

  The predecessor was only fifteen years old, and he didn't have a means of earning a living. It was not easy to get a job as an apprentice.

  After Duke finished wiping the table and put the tools on the table neatly, Best also finished his coffee.

  Handed the empty cup to Duke, and scolded unceremoniously: "What are you doing stupidly, insert the card and turn it on, teacher, I'm going to start repairing the card, the card that can't be repaired all day long!"

"OK."

  Duke didn't care about the tone of the other party, and didn't show any difference from usual. He skillfully picked up a thick and heavy spirit storage card and inserted it into the machine interface card slot on the table.

  The lines on the spirit card suddenly lit up, indicating that the supply of spiritual energy had begun.

  Press the switch, and the machine starts instantly.

   This is a semi-new spirit card testing instrument, which can detect the energy circuits in damaged spirit cards, and is used to assist card repairers in repairing these damaged energy circuits.

  Best rolled up his sleeves, took out a card from a pile of waste cards, and placed it on the inspection table of the machine.

  Duke stood aside and watched quietly.

  The predecessor really wanted to learn the skills of repairing spirit cards. This is also the only benefit for apprentices. They can learn some card repairing skills from the card repairer.

   Of course, you can only learn a little.

  It involves the repair of the energy circuit, which requires the cooperation of the card repairer to mobilize spiritual power from the spiritual sea. If you can't open the Linghai, you can only be responsible for sewing, polishing, and papering the Lingka, and doing chores that ordinary people can do.

   Card repairer Best has opened the spiritual sea.

  However, his talent and comprehension are limited, and he has never constructed any energy circuit that can be closed in the spiritual sea in his life, so he has been hovering in the realm of spiritual apprenticeship at the 0-ring level—a closed energy circuit represents 1 ring, and 1 energy circuit that cannot be closed cannot be called a ring, but it can be commonly called 0 ring.

  Accompanied by a rattling sound from the machine, a group of coiled lines appeared on the damaged spirit card.

   This is the energy circuit, which binds sufficient spiritual energy.

  Best quickly locates the damaged point, then picks up the damaged spirit card, carefully pries open the cover of the spirit card with a tool, and starts to repair the first damaged point with a special spirit pen that can draw energy circuits.

   This is a delicate job.

  The energy loop is equivalent to the highway in the microcosm. Potholes or breaks on the road surface will affect the circulation of energy, thereby destroying the effectiveness of the spirit card.

  The card repairer needs to use his own spiritual sea to mend this expressway to ensure that it remains smooth at all times.

  Seeing this step, Duke retreated quietly.

  As long as he gathers together twenty-three silver dragons, he can swim in the spiritual sea by himself, explore the endless energy lines, and form a closed loop one after another.

   The new book set sail and create greater glories!
