Chapter 286: 【seal Casting】new Holy Light Ultimate Skill!
After hanging up the communication with Lu Rang, Yuan Zhu became idle. Seeing that the time was approaching dawn, but with his strength continuously improving, both his physical fitness and mental state had gradually surpassed that of a mortal, his energy was exceptionally abundant and he was not sleepy at all.
On the other side, the little girl who followed behind Nie Yin, constantly asking questions and humbly seeking advice, was also wide awake due to excessive excitement from her first ascension to the Upper Realm in her life, and instead was very interested in following Nie Yin to learn a craft.
And the Frog Killer Girl, who had always been ostracized and discriminated against in the Frog School, suddenly had her status reversed, becoming the one who imparted knowledge and was respected, and she also greatly enjoyed this feeling of being valued, so she rarely patiently informed Yuan Tang of some basic knowledge.
Seeing this harmonious and joyful scene of the three cadres getting along well, Yuan Zhu did not disturb them, but instead turned to his own attic and fell into thought: What should he do next?
Now, his undertaking in Du Ling’s present world (Running City) had just started, and the groundwork had not yet been fully laid out, so he still needed to wait for the conditions to mature if he wanted to make moves. (He had always been trying to transplant and replicate Earth’s ‘chemical pharmaceuticals/veterinary medicine’, creating corresponding pollution versions to pay tribute and reminisce about his Earth hometown.)
Only after the laboratory of the Frog Factory was built could he have the opportunity to try.
At this moment, Yuan Zhu summoned Snake Snake and had her act as a recorder to make a plan table for him: “For the next period of time, the Frog Factory can be temporarily handed over to Senior Student, entrusting her to help supervise it, after all, this is everyone’s common undertaking.”
Candle, with only three shrimp soldiers (brother and sister) and crab generals (Nie Yin), was too short on manpower. So the Frog Factory was temporarily shelved.
“We need to shift our work focus to the interior of the Misty Mountains. The Mountain Lord’s Domain is the foundation; once created successfully, we will gradually move away from the Haunted House, and even completely erase the current ‘shadow transformation traces’.”
Snake Snake asked: “At that time, shall we give up the Disease Garden?”
Yuan Zhu thought for a moment and shook his head: “We cannot completely abandon it. We can install warning devices in the Haunted House. Before the true owner returns, we can cautiously enter the Garden to harvest ‘Disease Pollution’ heavily and stockpile it for future needs.”
Disease Pollution is still a high-quality cultivation material for the Holy Light System. From the perspective of the Holy Light Source, his mentally ill behavior of incinerating and destroying Disease Plants with Holy Light is actually burning (sacrifice and dedication) himself to destroy evil Forbidden Pollution.
This kind of action itself accumulates ‘Holy Light Merit’. Through the unity of knowledge and action, he continuously practices Holy Light virtues, destroying portions of Disease Pollution filled with sin. Such life-shortening actions promote the Holy Church spirit outwardly; inwardly, it is a form of ascetic cultivation to improve the quality of Holy Light (Soul Ember casts Holy Seal, gathers Soul Crystal).
Yuan Zhu then said: “Besides fully developing the Domain, formulate the first key project, targeting the cultivation of the ‘Orc Five Brothers’. They not only need to fight in the arena to make money for the company; they also need to serve as important experimental subjects for the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture’s knockoff theft of Frog God System data. Therefore, they cannot die easily, and we need to cleverly balance the difficulty of the arena matches, letting them struggle tenaciously on the line between life and death, continuously overdraw, outbreak, rescue, and excavate potential. The work in this aspect, along with the balance and control, is handed over to you!”
Snake Snake showed a kitten’s shocked expression and pointed to herself: “Me?!”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Yes! Haven’t you always wanted to be independent? I’m giving you the opportunity now. I will focus on developing the Mountain Lord’s Domain; you will be in charge of the Orc Plan.”
Snake Snake retorted: “But we are one body, if you enter the mountain, I enter the mountain too. How can I keep track of the orcs’ changes at all times?”
Yuan Zhu: “I will transfer the permissions of Anti-Law Team A to you, and you will be the Anti-Law Vice President from now on. The orcs can’t fight in arena matches at the beginning anyway and need time to cultivate. And according to your deduction, as long as the Domain is opened up, it can bear, decompress, and install the main core of the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture.”
“At that time, the Immortal Scripture decompression and Domain fusion will become the Immortal Scripture Server. In theory, it can break through the external barrier of the Immortal Path Universe and conduct covert data exchange with the Technology Universe as a ‘spy signal transmitter’. Now Du Ling is destined to not connect to the Technology Universe, but its built-in powerful ‘covert signal transmission’ should at least be able to communicate over the distance from the Domain to Running City, right?”
Snake Snake was immediately speechless; she had always been promoting the powerful functions of the Old Immortal Scripture Master. Once the Domain is opened and the server decompressed, it can indeed easily achieve ‘far superior signal communication’.
So she guaranteed: “Boss, I have confidence to perfectly complete the mission!”
Yuan Zhu: “Very good, full of energy! I have 3 expectations for those five brothers.”
First, before the five half-blood orcs die, they must at least cultivate to the first major realm of Extreme Warrior, that is, after all Muscle Fibers in the body are tempered to the physiological limit, complete the first Synthesis (two-in-one). Break through the limits of man and strength, and achieve complete physical body transcendence! (Seed of the Way of Strength)
And during this cultivation process, Anti-Law + Boss Template will work together to replicate and upload all cultivation data to the Immortal Scripture Database. Explore a more cost-effective Shadow Warrior cultivation method and attempt to integrate it into the Boss Template, claiming it for ourselves.
This kind of ‘data monitoring, modeling, calculation’ is not Yuan Zhu’s strength, but rather Snake Snake’s forte.
Expectation 2: As the orc warriors continuously get stronger, extract a brand new Shadow Frog System Pollution from them, and make it into a brand new Yuan’s Shadow Body Tempering Fluid. Use this to break into the ‘Frog System Magic Potion circle’.
Through Nie Yin’s popularization, he gradually learned that for Extreme Warriors to continuously evolve and improve, besides ingesting large amounts of nutrition and persisting in unrelenting exercise to stimulate Muscle Fibers to continuously grow and reinforce, ensuring the realm does not regress.
They also need large amounts of different Heter Frog System Pollution (Body Tempering Fluid) for stimulation, injecting ‘new’ potential into the muscles and raising the upper limit.
Only a massive quantity and various types of ‘advanced Body Tempering Fluids’ can bring rounds of brand new stimulation and improvement to the muscles. Allowing the muscles that have reached the limit to advance toward supreme realms like Secondary Synthesis, Tertiary Synthesis, etc., which transcend the limit and are fundamentally unattainable.
Translated into immortal hero terms, it is the pill-popping flow: after developing ‘drug resistance’ to one kind of pill, one must pursue more, higher-level, and non-resistant ‘immortal pills’ to stack one’s cultivation to the next, and the next next realm.
Although his own fate has already deviated, completely different from the Wolf King + Dragon Medicine in the ‘future people”s words, Yuan Zhu is still willing to maintain that unknown true-or-false ‘sacred timeline’ and complete his historical mission. Develop a brand new version of Shadow Dragon Medicine to benefit the vast fitness circle (Frog System) cultivators on Du Ling Star.
This is the fate he was supposed to bear, as well as the pharmaceutical field with huge business opportunities, and also his comfort zone from his previous life. The thought of having the chance to combine Frog System Pollution with his specialty Hydrochloric Clenbuterol to create a commercial myth made him inexplicably excited and full of drive!
Between Frog Farmer and Pharmaceutical Entrepreneur, which sounds better? Which makes more money? Which has higher social status? No need to say more.
The final expectation: That the five orc brothers can endure successive torments (training, coaching) from himself, Frog Killer Girl, and the otherworld dangerous species brother and sister without dying, then thoroughly erupt their potential, fiercely break through the arena of the dark underground fighting world, make a name, create a style… create a majestic, brand new ‘fighting competition brand’.
At that time, he can commercially transform and enter the ‘sports, entertainment’ field. In fact, the former broker who provided him with ‘orc resources’ has been attempting ‘event trials’ in this aspect.
But the other party lacks creativity and core competitiveness, so the matches they organize struggle to go viral. Either they achieve slight success and get maliciously targeted, ambushed, or plagiarized and imitated by peers.
In short, the underground boxing matches in Running City are all small-scale scattered boxing matches. If they can truly establish strict rules and event regulations, create something like MMA, UFC, K-1, they could even gain support from the city hall, get protection to grow big and strong, and become a ‘city landmark’ attracting tourists from other places.
After hearing Yuan Zhu’s harsh requirements, Snake Snake asked: “All of this is to be handled by me?”
Yuan Zhu: “Yes, Nie Yin and the Yuan Tang brother and sister can also be lent to you for use. To achieve these three goals, the three of them are indispensable.”
Nie Yin is already a mature mental illness patient. Take her away from academy constraints, give her sufficient autonomy and rights, provide good resources and experimental sites, issue mission requirements, let her freely play, and periodically check and harvest results.
Yuan Tang has high IQ and EQ, just lacking common sense, and her body full of pollution cannot see the light, so continue home tutoring and training. In the early stage, Nie Yin can act as the tutor. In the later stage, after the Frog Factory builds the city, hand her over to Senior Student for Dangerous Plant cultivation.
The little girl had already self-taught Corpse Seed in the Animal Husbandry Village. This method is perfect for cultivating Pollution Spirit Grass, complementing Senior Student’s Plant School.
She can completely be arranged as an assistant to Senior Student Chen, learning through work (odd jobs) with personal instruction, stealing knowledge of Dangerous Plant School pharmacology, or even exploring the knowledge of the loose cultivator system.
Senior Student wants to research and explore Pollution Spirit Grass and ancient remnant pill formulas and prescriptions to develop Magic Potions for the family; while little Tang’s dream is to become an Alchemist (Insect System)… The business scopes of both sides highly overlap and have extremely high compatibility.
As for Younger Brother…
No need to say, tomorrow send him to train orc fighting skills, imparting the most authentic real combat experience.
Snake Snake: “Little Brother still can’t see the light for now, right?”
Yuan Zhu: “Bring the five orc brothers back to the Haunted House. The villa interior space is too small to maneuver. Let them fight freely in the Disease Garden!”
Snake Snake sighed: “This kid is too pitiful! He ascended from the Eclosion World to Du Ling less than a day ago, and he’s already arranged such heavy ‘child labor work’. He’s only 8 years old! Even his sister has two tutors pre-arranged before and after (Nie Yin, Senior Student).”
Yuan Zhu: “We can completely equip Yuan Tang with Brain Eggplant to store her learned knowledge and insights, then after fully chewing, digesting, and absorbing, share it with Younger Brother in the form of finished learning notes. Let Little Brother use the Brain Eggplant for efficient correspondence self-study in his spare time from work.”
In Yuan Zhu’s view, having the brother and sister attend classes, learn, and practice together is a complete waste of resources! With Little Brother also supplementing lessons, who will train the orcs?
Rapid success for orcs is the most important short-term project right now; one sister supplementing is enough. Little Brother should do the harshest work at a good age. Anyway, his talent is more manifested in combat, so having him beat orcs doesn’t bury his aptitude.
As for deficiencies in knowledge and common sense, relying on sister’s rumination + Brain Eggplant self-study is sufficient. He’s only 8 years old; it’s too normal for his knowledge level to be inferior to his sister’s!
Snake Snake: “Makes some sense! I will perfectly execute your plan. So, Boss, what are your plans for the next cultivation plan?”
Yuan Zhu thought seriously; the several talents of the Shadow System temporarily showed no breakthrough opportunities. Only the Domain has the possibility of making rapid progress to bring the Tiger Demon into a new realm. So…
“The focus of personal cultivation next is still on Holy Light. Seal 2 needs to accelerate the ‘seal casting’ speed; once completed, it can condense the second Soul Crystal, entering Foundation Establishment stage 2, 3, 4.”
Snake Snake: “So, what shall we burn?”
Ordinary cultivators cast seals by casually burning a pile of powerful Polluted Monsters to accumulate enough embers for seal casting. But doing so makes the Soul Embers too chaotic, containing massive disordered ‘pollution information’, which instead cannot combine with the idealistic Holy Light to extract the desired ‘skills’.
From the beginning, Yuan Zhu focused on incinerating three types of pollutants: Disease, Shadow Magic Worm, Little Pumpkin, successfully incubating three skills. Now, Snake Snake signaled Yuan Zhu to definitely choose the fourth ‘Pollution System’ well.
“Boss, you can completely reverse-engineer the pollution source from the type of ‘ability’ you desire. For example, if you want to continue optimizing the Holy Light Knight Breathing Technique, you can start from the missing Armor. Massively incinerate Knight System Armor, extract embers, and nurture related skills.”
Yuan Zhu: “The problem is, currently we can’t access stable sources of Pollution Armor with guaranteed pollution degree and sufficient quantity. The surface of the Eclosion World does have a lot of Undead Knights activity, but the risk is high and can be arranged for Seal 3. The cheapest fuel currently most suitable to obtain is only Frog System and Disease System. High-quality Frog System Pollution requires time to cultivate step by step. Therefore, we can only continue burning Disease System!”
Snake Snake: “Burning Disease Pollution again? To strengthen synergy with Holy Cough Particles, or some other idea?”
Yuan Zhu recalled the several Pollution Crystals he obtained from ‘goblin + Disease Pollution’ back then, and suddenly made a decision: “Remember the biological equipment exploded from that batch of Disease Goblin pollution bodies? I feel that Disease Ray Eyeball has affinity with Holy Light!”
Back then, ordinary goblins who gulped down Disease Plants to accelerate pollution evolution, some alienated into ‘bone arrow throat sacs’, able to cough and spray deadly poison Disease bone arrows; others had lungs alienated, coughing out large areas of foul pathogenic toxin gas…
Among this batch of goblins, one had an eyeball that mutated, able to emit ‘Disease Ray’, a special body. Its Extraordinary Pollution Crystal was precisely this eyeball.
Conversely, if we massively directionally catalyze this kind of Disease Eyeball Ray Goblin, then strip their ‘Extraordinary Pollution Crystals’ for Holy Light Refinement, the extracted Soul Crystals will have a high probability of nurturing Ray-type Holy Light Skills, which would be great, very fitting for the Holy Light System’s combat style, and also fill the gap in his Holy Light tactics.
His current Holy Light System focuses on defense and restraint, still lacking an effective ‘offensive means’; Holy Light Ray will fill the mid-to-long range attack shortcoming. According to his understanding of Holy Light, this skill nurtured by the Holy Seal will align with his subconscious desire. Then, as long as he wildly imagines Yellow Monkey, he can incubate…?
