Chapter 260: 【anti-law】 Cultivation Method
As the little girl actively reached out her hand, about to take the uniform Yuan Zhu was handing over. His hand suddenly pulled back, yanking both sets of uniforms back to his chest, leaving the little girl’s short little hand grasping at empty air.
“？？!”
The little girl widened her pair of eyes full of confusion, staring straight at her own ‘Big Brother + Boss’: What are you doing?
“Wait!”
Yuan Zhu spoke to reassure her: “I suddenly thought of an idea.”
He lowered his head to look at the two sets of blank uniforms in his hand, and in human stance, slightly utilized a tiny bit of Anti-Law power. The shadow pollution belonging to Anti-Law then turned into strands of black mist, rising from his palm and drilling into the uniforms’ interiors, recharging and dyeing them.
Until the edges and outlines of the uniforms were etched with black shadow trim patterns, he then actively stopped the ‘pollution erosion’. At this point, the uniforms were no longer blank slates that could be arbitrarily painted; they had been endowed with the Shadow tag.
At the same time, Yuan Zhu used these two sets of uniforms as chips, also adding them to the Anti-Law capital pool. He would gift this set of uniforms to the brother and sister pair through Anti-Law investment, to strengthen his ‘Gratitude Loan’.
Simply giving away two sets of blank uniforms would be just a gift, at most boosting some superficial gratitude. But if the uniforms were added to the Anti-Law gift package before gifting, the nature would be vastly different!
In the future, any power the brother and sister pair gained through the uniforms, any upgrades, reinforcements, or modifications to the uniforms, would all be judged as Anti-Law investment appreciation, making Yuan Zhu’s favor increasingly heavy.
Besides using the uniforms to claim favors, he had an even bolder idea: to also gift through Anti-Law channels some Extraordinary Pollution Crystals in his hand that bore the Shadow Tag but could not be truly refined and integrated into his personal Shadow System.
To the brother and sister pair, Nie Yin, and those ‘Niger orcs’ about to be sent to fight in the arena.
Cultivating them to get stronger and granting them brand new opportunities; while also helping himself digest those hard-to-use Pollution Crystals, like that Shadow Knight Armor that had been digested by Universe Within The Belly yet seemed not fully digested.
This core equipment of the Knight System could completely be handed to Younger Brother through Anti-Law investment. After all, the Qi Refiner’s Armor Casting had serious suspicions of plagiarizing and scamming Knight Armor. If he could refine it, it would be equivalent to achieving Heaven Rank ahead of time.
At the same time, Yuan Zhu was clear that even if Armor Casting and Knight Armor were so similar, their foundational logic (Pollution System) was utterly different, making compatibility difficult.
Therefore, this actual armor of his would not follow Younger Brother’s Qi Refining System; instead, it would follow Yuan Zhu’s Anti-Law Contract, feeding pollution energy to the uniform, forcibly stuffing a set of Shadow Knight Armor into the uniform!
Yuan Zhu conveyed his idea to Snake Snake, eagerly showing off: “How about it, isn’t it super bold? One step to the stomach, letting the uniform directly breakthrough the seed threshold!”
Snake Snake flattered: “It really is a super bold idea! By the same logic, we can use Anti-Law to contract Tiger Demon’s indigestion of various ‘Pollution Crystals’. And relying on the Shadow Tag established by Ghost Companion Divine Ability, smuggle crystals from different ‘Pollution Systems’ to Anti-Law, and loan them to all sorts of users!”
Snake Snake grew more excited: “On the surface, our Anti-Law always develops around the Shadow Pollution System. But secretly, we can use Ghost Companion + Universe Within The Belly to shear wool from all major ‘Pollution Systems’, then loan it out to Anti-Law Clients with different needs. Finally, once the clients make something of these ‘Pollution Crystals’, decide whether to collect debts, harvest fruit, or take them as dogs!”
Yuan Zhu smiled reservedly: Right! That’s exactly what I was thinking. But I won’t say it; this plan has to come from you, and you have to take the blame for it.
Snake Snake instantly got the hint, tacitly sighing in unison: “Boss, I’m just too greedy and too evil! Came up with this vicious rotten idea again. I wanted to restrain myself, but it’s my nature, I can’t control myself, and now I’ve even polluted you! I have sin, sin deeply!”
Yuan Zhu generously forgave Little Spicy Stick for his own mental pollution: “All sides have sin, the sin lies with me!”
After a few rounds of humility, ultimately unable to resist Snake Snake’s enthusiasm, smoothly shoving the black pot onto the utterly evil Little Spicy Stick.
Yuan Zhu then re-gifted the Shadow Uniforms included in the Anti-Law gift package to the dazed brother and sister pair: “Take them. I’ve activated these two sets of clothes for you; they can help you get through the adaptation period of water and soil incompatibility, get used to the Du Ling Star environment, and adapt to Anti-Law Shadow Power.”
At this moment, Yuan Zhu was still hesitating whether to open Three Phases for the brother and sister pair?
Once Three Phases
But he knew clearly in his heart that the Main World had no stage for the Qi Refining System. He hoped even more that the Brother and Sister could magic-modify the Qi Refining System into a brand new Pollution System. And under his own investment, integrate the new system into Anti-Law, opening up a new branch.
For this, in his [Anti-Law Panel], two of the remaining three [Anti-Law Group] slots were taken by the two of them.
Now Group A has contracted five orcs, walking the [Shadow.Power Path].
Group B signed Nie Yin and promoted her to group leader, that is, the spokesperson of the Anti-Law Master. Qualified to search for the remaining four clients and sign contracts personally.
Nowadays, the Group Leader of Group C and the Group Leader of Group D have respectively granted the brother and sister. Yuan Zhu hopes that the older sister A Tiao will develop the [Alchemy] path; while the younger brother A Tiao will take the [Mask Insect Knight] path.
In Yuan Zhu’s view as the Anti-Law Master. If he compares himself to the Mao Mao King, then the ‘Group Leader’ of the Anti-Law Contract team is very similar to the ‘Captain’.
The members of Happy Home are just like the Anti-Law Clients selected by Mao Mao King. However, Mao Mao King is a principled person who never forces sales, so only Mai Lili fell into the trap.
When the two siblings took back the [Uniform] again, they immediately felt something different.
The Shadow Uniform that Yuan Zhu handed over before was just a special piece of clothing containing Supernatural Powers. But this time when he handed them over again, they had been injected with soul (Anti-Law), giving a familiar sense of closeness. (His own soul had been pre-sold to Anti-Law, so it was naturally extremely close.)
Yuan Zhu reminded: “Inject them with [Shadow Power] to complete the activation and binding. From today onward, try to use [True Qi] as little as possible, and instead rely more on the power contained within the [Shadow Uniform].”
A Tiao has the most flexible mind, and moreover, ever since signing the Anti-Law Contract, he has been incessantly training the control and use of Shadow Power, not caring at all about the accumulation of the Anti-Law Gratitude Loan, and even hoping to sell his Soul to Yuan Zhu as soon as possible to prove his sense of belonging.
Thus, she completed the binding first. The [Shadow Uniform] came alive like a living thing, turning into a pool of silky black slime that quickly enveloped her current clothes, devoured and fused them, then transformed into a brand new set of clothing.
Little Tiao also showed a comfortable and intoxicated expression at this moment, and had to admit the comfort of [Mao Mao King Ace. High-end Clothes]. Just treating it as a set of clothes that would never get dirty and could change styles at will was already top-tier; any normal person would want a set.
Subsequently, the uniform under her control continuously split off a large number of ‘Shadow Threads’ from the edges of its sleeves, weaving through the air recklessly, changing directions, and combining with each other. The manipulation was extremely proficient, as if she had been wearing this uniform for several years.
“You this……”
Little Tiao explained: “[Qi Threads]! The most basic unit of this set of clothes is these ‘Shadow Threads’. Their operation method is like [Qi Threads]. I directly applied the original experience and was able to achieve this level.”
A Tiao, under her sister’s guidance, also quickly completed the uniform recognition process. Then, with a face full of curiosity, she controlled the [Uniform], just like her sister, using ‘Shadow Threads’ as [Qi Threads].
Although the two have many differences, the brother and sister can still overcome various difficulties and play happily.
Yuan Zhu reminded at this time: “This set of [Shadow Uniform] can theoretically continue to invest various ‘Supernatural Materials’ to keep growing and evolving. But you two should not act rashly for now, randomly feeding it [Pollution Crystals] to waste the uniform’s potential. I have a systematic plan for both of your futures.”
A Tiao stated: “We will be good.”
Yuan Zhu nodded in satisfaction: “Alright then, you two shouldn’t leave this building for now; you can only move around indoors. Also, there’s a mirror on the third-floor attic that leads to a dangerous ‘polluted land’. Don’t get close to it either.”
A Tiao heard something and nervously asked: “Big Brother, are you leaving?”
“Mm, I’m going out for a bit to handle some matters. At the same time, I still need to figure out a way to resolve your identity issues, as well as methods to adapt to the local environment as quickly as possible.”
He planned to first contact members of the White Feather Association to arrange legal and compliant identities for the brother and sister. With this resident identity, they could apply for ten Faith Quotas each year, using the faith blessings from different Deities to conceal their outsider origins.
With such [Space of Gods protection + Anti-Law shielding + Uniform concealment + Civilian-level Faith Blessing ×10……], it should help the two of them move about normally in Running, rather than being trapped to death in the [Haunted House], waiting for the [Shadow Domain] to be built before continuing to change nests and serve time.
After settling the two down, Yuan Zhu issued an order to little Tang to renovate the [Haunted House]: arrange for her to reorganize and classify the scattered and piled ‘Worm Pillars and Supplies’, stacking them neatly. Then give her a portion of the [Haunted House]’s control authority, letting her command the ‘Eggplant Head Ghosts, Eggplant Goblins, Shadow Magic Worms’ to repair the smashed and broken second floor floorboards.
…
After handling all this, Yuan Zhu switched to [Tiger Demon] and released all the [Shadow Magic Worms] smuggled through the [Universe Within The Belly], finally leaving the [Haunted House] with a relaxed body.
Just as he stepped out the door, the instant he officially returned to Running, he felt an invisible heavy pressure.
Even though he was in Human Stance at this moment, he could still hear the call from the [Shadow] beneath his feet to himself. This was the [Boss Template (Tiger Demon)] strength enhancing again, triggering [Shadow Collapse] or [Ascension Impulse].
[Tiger Demon] was getting stronger, and its attraction to the [Shadow Layer] was also gradually increasing. Although Du Ling Star hadn’t rejected it yet, forcing [Tiger Demon] to ascend; but the [Shadow Layer] had already intensified its call.
Yuan Zhu boldly guessed that as long as he secretly switched to [Tiger Demon Stance] in the Present World, there would definitely be a large number of indescribable calling voices tempting it to burrow into the [Shadow Layer], not to stay in the Present World where (Shadow) Spiritual Energy was thin.
The Human World Spiritual Energy concentration was too dilute, completely unable to sustain [Tiger Demon] cultivation. Only by ascending to the [Shadow Layer] could it continue to grow.
“I’m getting stronger, so why have I never encountered a decent opponent?”
Yuan Zhu recalled the initial descent, that constant trouble situation. Evil sacrifices, Night Watch Division, being captured by [Happy Home], ordinary exorcists trapped in [Disease Garden]…… After surviving this ordeal, nothing happened, all the way smooth sailing.
Now, he even had [Ascension Impulse], yet things were going too smoothly instead: “This is too unscientific! It doesn’t feel like the ‘Du Ling turbid world’ in my mind at all.”
Snake Snake: “Perhaps all the trouble on you was smoothed out by the [Holy Church] and [Space of Gods]. One life, two luck, three feng shui—this is probably called ‘Transfer Luck’, awesome only second to [Heaven’s Mandate]! Right, when you went to Taixi for tourism, you encountered another disaster.”
Yuan Zhu shook his head: “That was a calamity triggered by A Miao, I was just innocently caught in the crossfire. I always feel like these days are too smooth, like it’s building up for a big one.”
Yuan Zhu suspiciously flipped over the wall out of the Residential Area, and his [Anti-Law] also captured another 6 signals.
At this moment, the six users were all concentrated at one point? The location was exactly the enclosed Warehouse he newly rented on the eve of entering [Happy Home].
At that time, he was unsure how long this ‘Mission’ would last? To avoid wasting time, Yuan Zhu secretly transported 5 ‘dark-skinned half-orcs’ to this Warehouse, while leaving a batch of Cash and a large amount of [Insect Pills]. He also ordered a large amount of Fitness Equipment and Food supplies.
Finally, he handed the [Warehouse] keys to Nie Yin, entrusting her to fully handle this batch of Orcs, performing the most ordinary [Power Path] modifications on them.
Now, Nie Yin had also appeared at the [Warehouse] location, not knowing how the ‘modification’ was going?
Passing by a street newsstand, he glanced at the date. Confirming this Mission took a total of two and a half days. Then after waiting a long time, he hailed a Taxi and headed straight to the Warehouse.
Half an hour later, Yuan Zhu had just arrived at the secret Warehouse door, not yet having time to knock, when it was opened from inside.
Yuan Zhu looked up, in the poorly lit spacious Warehouse interior, Nie Yin was sitting at an experimental bench, expressionlessly lowering her head to mix potions.
On the platform in front of her, various sizes of Surgical Knives, Syringes, test tubes filled with Blood, a large number of headless frog corpses drained of vitality after skinning, a large bucket of Frog Skin…… were messily placed. Her white coat was splattered with spots of Bloodstains, yet she didn’t care at all.
Besides Nie Yin who faintly emitted a terrifying Evil aura, the other five even more burly and massive ‘muscular half-blood Orcs’ looked fierce and vicious, yet their eyes revealed fear and resignation.
Nie Yin just sat there silently doing her own research. These five flashy muscular good-for-nothings submissively huddled in the Warehouse corner, using simple equipment to endlessly practice deep squats, dumbbell lifts, bench presses, pull-ups…… striving to work out, digest the [Frog-Type Pollution (Body Tempering Fluid)] continuously secreted in their bodies, consolidate Physical Body strength, and tap muscle potential.
After Yuan Zhu entered, Nie Yin’s [Anti-Law] transmitted waves of throbbing.
She had no choice but to put down her work, raise her head to meet Candle with one emerald green eye, then “Mm!” as if greeting.
After a few days apart, the girl was a bit shy again, not daring to meet his gaze or talk to him. But [Anti-Law] captured that her heart was excited and happy amid the nervousness.
As if now that he was back, there would be Resources to freebie again.
