Chapter 918 - 12: The Manor's New Project: Studying Immortal Stones and Unraveling the Secrets of the Immortal Realm
"Farewell then."Ning Zheng smiled faintly, and his figure gradually disappeared.
"Respectfully sending off the Lord of the Manor!"
"Respectfully sending off the Lord of the Manor!"
They shouted deferentially.
Ning Zheng opened the space turbulence and returned to the Sword Casting Manor with the lower-grade spiritual root of the female physician and the new type of embers virus from next door.
As soon as he returned, he started working on the female physician's lower-grade spiritual root, beginning the evolution.
[Soul-Contaminating Worm: Stimulates the revival of soul energy, repairs it anew, and to some extent compiles the structure of the soul shell, -3 billion]
This is the spiritual root of the female physician.
Not proficient in combat, but it repairs soul injuries, catalyzes the rebirth of soul limbs... It seems simple in description, but the simpler it is, the more terrifying it is.
The logistical capability is quite strong.
He had already witnessed it in the battle with the Painter previously.
In the chaos of battle, even Jiu Shui wanted to prioritize killing the female physician, the healer, showing just how strategically terrifying she was.
In the future, if inter-realm wars begin, Phoenix Yi and the female physician will definitely be nightmares for other civilizations, the main targets to be eliminated!
It is precisely because of these two spiritual roots that the Nine-State Undying System is perfectly unleashed to its fullest.
It would take 3 billion to enhance it to the limit Celestial Spirit Root, but for Ning Zheng, it was already nothing, he directly maxed it out.
Rustle!
A Yin attribute Celestial Spirit Root, the Three Flowers, appeared in Ning Zheng's flower pot, emitting a gentle and soft nourishing Qi to nourish the soul.
He pondered for a while, then picked up the flower pot to carefully observe the blossom:
"Why not plant it in the wooden spiritual root flower pot within my body? My pot still has nine wooden spiritual roots vacant, and the wood attribute spiritual root main value is vitality restoration, it fits perfectly."
With this thought, he went to find the tool-wielder, Sun Moon Su Yuniang, to convert the spiritual root attribute.
Soul-Contaminating Worm (Yin) became Soul-Contaminating Worm (Wood)
Ning Zheng felt it and frowned slightly, "With the change in attribute, the power is reduced by 40%, but it is as expected, the Yin Spirit Root is the best to fully realize this thing's value."
"If it were turned into a sharp metal Qi Gold attribute, it might only retain 20%, the alignment of attributes is very important."
"It's precisely because attributes greatly affect the power of the Divine Techniques that Sun Moon Su Yuniang's attribute conversion is not exaggeratedly overpowered."
"But it's enough." Ning Zheng let this thing grow into his Wood Series spiritual root.
Nine regenerative Wood Series spiritual roots, one of which is now filled.
"But then again, this spiritual root constructs a soul shell?" Ning Zheng thought deeply.
Speaking of which, the spiritual roots circulated in the Painter's hands seem to form a complete system.
Soul-Contaminating Worm: Constructs soul shells, possibly to assist the Painter in depicting the soul structure of a being.
Human God Flower: Turns meridians into lines, puppet control, painting a person's meridians, his brush is made of 108,000 strands of filament conduits, likely formed from Human God Silk Lines.
Mother of Non-Life: Control Series, possibly studying how to control those painted.
Firewood: Also seems related to the Painter, using firewood to obtain more information to better paint the essence, energy, and spirit of enemies.
It indeed seems to be a complete set.
The Painter has been continually enhancing his painting skills throughout human history, longing to paint a more perfect fusion tapestry.
"Truly an ultimate artistic master, art is eternal... One simply cannot emulate him."
Ning Zheng sighed:
"If he dies, those who emulate him will live... I will surely die mimicking his painting, creating something unrecognizable; instead, I must learn from him to construct my own combat system, forging a unique path with my Seven-Colored Spiritual Root combination!"
"Right now, using the Shadow Crocodile as the core of my Clone Stream, it's quite excellent."
These past few days, he's been learning from the Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor, beginning to stockpile clone armies, but the resource expenditure is an abyss.
Moreover, every time a Dharma Aspect is removed, the severe pain and minor injuries are endured, and regrowing a new Dharma Aspect takes some time, about ten days.
After all, the stronger the person, the more powerful the Dharma Aspect, and the longer the recovery time needed.
However, now with this Divine Technique that reduces resurrection cooldown, perhaps, his Dharma Aspects can revive faster, boosting the production speed of his Dharma Aspect army.
Ning Zheng felt it, his eyes gleamed brightly, "It's really possible, as long as resources are spent, it's truly possible to rapidly revive Dharma Aspects, accelerating the construction of my Dharma Aspect army; soon, I'll have hundreds, thousands of Dharma Aspects."
Got to admit.
The products of the Painter are always premium.
He has nothing inferior in his hands.
This spiritual root before him is just right to send back over Celestial Destiny World and secretly use it for the Eighteen Layers of Hell, sharply reducing the Earth-bound Spirit resurrection CD, letting the prisoners experience Infinite Hell.
Additionally, it can be shared with the Medical Fairy and Immortal Aunt, two physicians.
Human God Flower pertains to meridian research, belongs to the Physician Spiritual Root, this female physician's spiritual root is indeed of a physician type.
Ning Zheng sorted through, secretly delighted in his heart.
Getting stuff for free from the Painter, making a cuckold of the Painter, just feels satisfying.
"No, I seem to have been subtly influenced by those blacksmiths."
He felt that after staying in the Sword Casting Manor for so long, his whole being was becoming a bit corrupted.
He transmitted the newly generated Spiritual Root back to the neighboring Realm of Celestial Destiny, to build hells for them, then checked the time—it was already eight in the morning, and today's blacksmiths had already logged in.
So, he went up to the manor and listed the [Soul-Contaminating Worm] on the reward exchange list.
Afterward, he went to the steward's room, called over Jiucai Rong, and handed him the "Metal Embers Virus" for research, saying:
"Be careful not to leak the mutant virus from next door; it could have unknown effects on our Nine-State natives."
"I know, we should prevent species invasion; I'll send it to the lab immediately." Jiucai Rong's eyes lit up.
Ning Zheng followed Jiucai Rong to the lab, seeing the Immortal Aunt, the Medical Fairy, in a white coat, researching the special products from the Immortal Realm that the Night Emperor brought back yesterday.
Immortal Stones, as well as various small trinkets purchased from the Immortal Realm marketplace.
This idle adventure team was still quite competent, going on adventures and bringing back materials.
At that moment, outside the lab, a group of novice blacksmiths had chosen the physician profession and were watching the two great physician NPCs conduct research, making a ruckus:
"Immortal Stones, it really is a new expansion."
"I knew it, after the public beta, there would definitely be more gameplay; a new main storyline has indeed arrived."
"I wonder what will synthesize if thrown into the Yin Yang Creation Furnace?"
"There must be higher-level energy inside."
"I wonder if it can be duplicated?"
A group of people chatted.
Ning Zheng inquired about the research progress of the Immortal Stones.
"It's a kind of special energy, pure, transforming, concentrated, very unique. No wonder it can be used for immortal cultivation. Right now, we still haven't been able to decode it."
The Immortal Aunt said, "But since it's a local specialty of their world, we might be able to domesticate it!"
"Our world's specialty: Embers, and in the Realm of Celestial Destiny next door, it transformed into Metal Embers."
"So what about their specialty, Immortal Stones? Coming here, they might also be domesticated, as long as we research hard."
Clearly, their thinking was quite unique.
In this world, nothing can't be turned green. We have the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, what can't we conjure up?
"Well done, enterprising, enthusiastic, unawed by the fact that the other side is the center of the world, the Immortal Realm, still holds on to the pursuit of truth." Ning Zheng, as the veteran steward, praised them.
The Immortal Aunt chuckled, "Rather, it's the Immortal Realm—symbolizing power—that makes us more excited to study their special products, heh heh!"
Ning Zheng: "..."
He encouraged them to keep up the good work and then walked out of the lab, arriving at the square.
He found a bunch of Phoenix Empresses, Painters, Jiu Shui... performing, with a bowl out, waiting for tips.
But most of them learned very poorly, too unsightly.
And observing secretly was the Marriage Dress Town Master, who logged in again at eight the next day, secretly observing with a look of shock, pulling out a notebook to write again:
—Pseudo-humans are keen on imitation, they practice their mimicry skills daily, and they praise those who imitate well, rewarding those who mimic accurately.
She thought for a moment, suddenly her expression froze, seeing the Marriage Dress Town Master, dressed in red, also being imitated among the crowd.
She felt a bit of envy.
With a change in expression, she gritted her teeth, "Since they're acting as me, why don't I play myself?"
Life isn't easy, the Town Master performs.
Soon, the Marriage Dress Town Master went to the Hairpin Lady Tower, bought clothes, and turned into the real Marriage Dress Town Master, dressed in red, with elegant manners and graceful demeanor, instantly attracting a large crowd of tourists.
"She looks just like it."
"A true beauty of ancient style, every move is full of charm, clearly someone who has learned demeanor, not like those fakes."
"Tip her, we must tip her!"
A group of blacksmiths frantically threw money into the bowl, clinking and clanking until it was half full.
The Marriage Dress Town Master was overjoyed; she had originally come from a dance background, which now proved to be very useful.
She looked at the surrounding blacksmiths, her gaze falling on those Money Lolitas, "They're a bit crazy, lacking boundaries, but could be roped in to form that so-called guild, making money for me, accumulating capital."
"In the future, attaining Immortal Fate isn't impossible."
"Becoming an immortal, here I come."
While dancing, she pondered.
Ning Zheng sighed beside her, watching her dance: "As I suspected, this Self-Transformation Realm personality is too soft, too timid, easily controllable, and integrated into it."
People have all sorts of characters.
Cultivation isn't about erasing one's personality, turning into stereotypical cautious, brave, aggressive... powerhouses.
I know who I am, people have a multitude of appearances, and "I" naturally have a thousand selves.
Timidity doesn't mean she has poor aptitude.
A soft, adorable, pure demeanor doesn't mean someone's Realm is weak either.
"Well done." Ning Zheng watched for a while, threw several Magic Coins into her bowl, and then took out a "Village Sword" from the Storage Bag to reward her.
"Thank you, Steward." The Marriage Dress Town Master mimicked the blacksmiths, blending in thoroughly, shouting, "I will definitely work hard, build up our Sword Casting Manor, make it bigger and stronger, and recreate glory."
