It was a quiet night again. The sound of the wind blowing through the wheat was as gentle as the sea. The wooden hut looked like a reef by the sea under the night sky. Even though the reef wasn't very nice and was even a little ugly, Ding Meng felt that this place was the most pleasant to him because this wooden hut in Yuanshan Farm was practically his home.
The Lissten Academy had given him a 'holiday', so he had returned here as soon as he could. He had also brought back a crate of nutrient fluids with a total of 200 vials, each with a capacity of 3000 + Dika. This was a gift from Qu Xiaoqing before he left. It could be considered a friendship investment, and the value of the nutrient fluids wasn't cheap at all. It was almost 800 star coins.
Ding Meng didn't care much about money, but Ding Meng never refused to give up on nutrient fluids. He couldn't refuse them at all. As long as he had enough, he would immediately immerse himself in cultivation.
The construction of the fifth origin of the Diamond Star Technique had been completed a week ago. The Diamond Tetrahedron in his heart had already formed a new polyhedron, and it didn't feel any different from before. However, the success of the construction this time brought about another benefit, and that was an increase in the development of his brain, which greatly increased his telekinesis.
Back in the wooden hut, Ding Meng could use his telekinesis to lift up the straw stool and wooden table, allowing them to float freely in the air. However, things were different now. At this moment, Ding Meng was still sitting cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed. With him as the center, a wooden sword made from a stick suddenly shot up from the ground as if it had been enchanted. It flew about chaotically in the air with a swishing sound...
This was the Solitary Sword of the Zhao Clan and the Twelve Forms of the Heavenly Sword that Zhao Yue had taught him. Of course, he could only practice according to the moves and use his telekinesis to control the wooden sword.
He had no choice but to use the wooden sword. With his current strength, even an ordinary low-grade alloy sword wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful infusion of Origin Energy. As long as he used Origin Energy to control the sword, the sword would immediately melt. If he wanted a good sword, not only would he need an expensive multi-element alloy sword, he would also need an ancient sword that was suitable for this sword technique.
Not to mention that the Lissten Academy didn't have such a sword, even if you had enough money, you wouldn't be able to find one in the entire Autumn Pool City.
Little Rascal was a little dejected. "I feel like learning this sword art is as good as not learning it at all. It won't be of any use at all."
However, Ding Meng did not think so. As the saying went, it was never a burden to have more skills. As long as it was a martial art technique, he was willing to learn it. Moreover, he was able to learn it quite well.
Of course, the Diamond Star Technique had always been his main focus. His current goal was to reach the sixth origin.
The sixth point was located at the very center of the heart. Its internal structure could no longer be described as complex. Just observing it took Zhang Heng two whole days. If the fifth point was like an exquisite palace, then the sixth point was like a magnificent city. There were too many aspects involved, and its importance was self-evident.
However, at this point in his cultivation, Ding Meng was no longer curious, happy, and excited. Instead, he became serious and dignified.
During his time at the Lissten Academy, he gradually gained a new and systematic understanding of cultivation techniques.
Most Origin Ability Users in the Empire had a basic cultivation technique of three stars. As for how high one's combat strength was, it depended on their level, martial arts techniques, secret manuals, battle armor, and other cultivation techniques.
Those who cultivated a four-star cultivation technique did not have to worry about money, at least. This was why many Origin Ability Users were divided into different groups of people from their initial stages of cultivation.
Qu Xiaoqing's "Tenacious Nirvana Art" was something that the Qu Family had spent a lot of effort to collect for three years before they were able to obtain it. Other than her, no one else in the Lissten Academy had a five star cultivation technique. This also meant that she was the only one with a five star cultivation technique in the entire Qiu Ze City. There were probably less than ten people like her in the entire TT12 star system.
Ding Meng was currently constructing the sixth origin, which meant that it was at least a six-star cultivation technique. He wasn't sure how strong it was, but Qu Xiaoqing had told him that the strongest esper in the entire Norse Empire cultivated a nine-star cultivation technique. The highest cultivation technique in the Empire was a ten-star cultivation technique, but no one had ever seen a ten-star cultivation technique.
There was a huge difference between a six-star cultivation technique and a nine-star cultivation technique, but a six-star cultivation technique was still a height that ordinary Origin Ability Users could not even hope to reach. Ding Meng didn't dare to be careless. He could only carefully observe and construct. Once the outside world found out that his cultivation technique was a six-star cultivation technique, who knew what kind of uproar it would cause?
He had asked Little Rascal before. What was the star level of the Diamond Star Technique?
Unfortunately, Little Rascal couldn't answer because it didn't have enough authority. Ding Meng was too lazy to ask. Even if he did, he wouldn't get any answers. He might as well focus on his cultivation.
But at this moment, he was once again awakened. He could clearly see with his telekinesis that Old Yu was holding a toolbox and banging something on the ground next to the wooden hut.
Soon, he saw that Old Yu was constructing a simple wooden hut. The roof was covered by a tent, and the walls were naturally made of wooden planks and straw mats. Seeing Old Yu's happy expression, Ding Meng guessed that he had encountered something good.
"Old Yu, you're early." Ding Meng still walked out of the hut.
Sure enough, Old Yu's face was full of smiles. "Hey, Little Ding, let me tell you a piece of good news. From today onwards, we'll have another neighbor."
"Oh?"
Ding Meng was a bit surprised, but he didn't ask because he could already feel two weak Origin Ability fluctuations coming from the direction of the courtyard.
Turning his head around, he saw Fred, who was wearing a five-pointed hat and a Protector's uniform, leisurely walking towards him. In his hands was the same broken PDA that couldn't be any more broken.
Fred didn't come alone. Following behind him was a girl with ragged clothes and an unkempt face.
This girl looked to be about the same age as Ding Meng, probably around twenty years old. If it wasn't for the fact that she had some female physical characteristics, Ding Meng wouldn't have been able to tell that she was a girl. This was because she was really too skinny. Not only was she skinny, but her skin was also very dark. It wasn't the dark skin of a black person, but rather a malnourished illness.
Those with experience would be able to tell at a glance that this girl must have suffered a lot to become like this. Perhaps she had escaped from a place similar to Hei Jin Base.
Moreover, the girl's face was also very dirty. The cheeks near her lips seemed to have been burned by something, and there was a purple mark. But the most important thing was that the girl's body emitted a trace of chill. She was actually an ice element origin ability user. Looking at her energy fluctuations, it seemed that she was even stronger than Fred.
"Old Yu, Old Brother Ding, this time, I've brought you a new neighbor."
Fred had already begun his introduction. "She was also rescued by the Empire's patrol fleet while they were on an interstellar patrol. From now on, she will live here. I saw that there were a few empty plots of land nearby, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her. My duty is to bring her here. Right, introduce yourself. What's your name …"
The girl was very vigilant. Her eyes were filled with a thick sense of vigilance.
"Don't be nervous. Don't be afraid."
Fred gently patted her head. "This is our Norse Empire's planet, not outer space. No one can harm you, understand?"
Only then did the girl timidly lower her head and spit out two words from her mouth. "Xiao Qiu."
Fred frowned and said, "This child. Tell them, what's your surname and name?"
"Xiao Qiu." The girl's head was still very low.
Old Yu laughed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Officer Fred, you're scaring them. Xiao Qiu, don't you have a surname?"
The girl's expression was still the same. "Xiao Qiu. They all call me Xiao Qiu."
Old Yu was helpless. Ding Meng, who was beside him, felt a burst of sadness. This was because he had thought of Xiao Qiu. The first time he had met Xiao Qiu, the situation had been similar. Xiao Qiu couldn't remember his own name at all. This Xiao Qiu was the same.
Could it be that this Xiao Qiu had also been a laborer?
