Chapter 152: The Imperfect Yu Qingzong
?<>>
After returning to the inn, Ye Zan didn't go out for a few days, and all his thoughts were on the cultivation of the Zerg.
In Ye Zan's extra-dimensional space, the huge gene pool contains the gene samples of many interstellar creatures in the technological world. Among them, there are many genes of taboo species purchased through the dark net. These gene samples will save the Zerg a lot of time in learning evolution.
The empress larva cultivated with Zerg genes has been placed in the space of the strange stone outside the territory. Under the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, the time flow rate in the strange stone space has reached a ratio of ten to one, which will greatly accelerate the growth of the empress.
Of course, this strange stone alone cannot be regarded as a real insect nest. After all, this is just a space, a place for the Zerg to live, and it still lacks many functions that the Zerg Nest should have. For example, a real worm nest can heal the injured Gu worms, manipulate the activities of the Gu worms, enhance the strength of the Gu worms, and so on.
Therefore, during this period of time, Ye Zan also asked the mastermind in the different dimension to analyze the refining method of the insect nest. Then design around the strange stones, and find a plan to refine the strange stones into insect nests.
The growth rate of the Zerg mother queen itself is very fast, and under the acceleration of the strange stone space, and with sufficient nutrient supply, it quickly passed the juvenile stage and reached the growth stage. It takes a long time between the growth period and the maturity period. Even if there is time to accelerate, it cannot be achieved in a year or a half.
However, even in the growth period, the empress already has the ability to lay eggs and has begun to make bodyguards for herself. Perhaps due to the influence of spiritual energy, although the insect soldiers hatched from these insect eggs do not have the monster inner alchemy, the carapace of their bodies has been strengthened a lot.
Of course, this first generation of insect soldiers is also a threat to ordinary people in this world. If there is not a large enough number, they may not even be able to do it for practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm.
In terms of gene fusion, the Zerg still adopts a passive evolution method. Only when there is a threat to the survival of the Zerg, will the next generation be targeted to evolve the characteristics of resisting threats. Therefore, in the natural state, the Zerg may also be said to be strong when they are strong, and weak when they are weak.
Such insect soldiers were of course not what Ye Zan wanted, so he put in a mechanism puppet to quickly clean up the first generation of insect soldiers. After receiving the feedback, the empress immediately targeted the puppets and produced a second-generation insect soldier with improved strength, but was quickly cleared out again.
When it comes to raising Gu, there is a very common and well-known way to select Gu, which is to put some Gu worms in a container and let them fight and devour each other. The last surviving Gu worm is often the most powerful and will be cultivated as a Gu worm.
Of course, there will be accidents, for example, some insects may not be strong, but they have the ability to survive in the cracks.
Therefore, the worms that survived in the end may not have much strength at all, they just hide themselves. Such bugs, in fact, no one would be willing to refine them into Gu insects, so they can only be removed and re-selected Gu.
And Ye Zan's method is somewhat similar to this method of selecting Gu. It's just that he is making choices for the Zerg Queen, so that the Zerg Queen will continue to optimize the genes of the Zerg Soldiers after the Zerg Soldiers are killed again and again, and produce more powerful Zerg Soldiers.
When the mechanism puppets are dismembered by the insect soldiers, Ye Zan will also put in stronger mechanism puppets to continue the process of stimulating evolution.
However, in this way, don't expect to cultivate invincible insect soldiers, after all, the opponent is too single. Moreover, the strength of the organ puppets is actually not that strong. Even the bronze terracotta warriors are only the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Therefore, in order to really grow the insect soldiers to the point where they can become Ye Zan's helpers, some real battles are needed to promote their evolution. The current approach is only to allow the insect soldiers to evolve initially, so that they will not be wiped out as soon as they appear in the future.
Ye Zan stayed at the inn, and Qi Qianjun was following him as a bodyguard, so naturally he would not leave Ye Zan even half a step. On the contrary, Liu Gan has been quite busy these past few days, taking his two disciples to run around all day long, participating in various exchange meetings with colleagues, and gradually gaining a little fame.
But on this day, after Ye Zan replaced the Zerg in the Qishi space with a new puppet opponent, he heard a quarrel outside, and one of the voices came from Liu Gan.
Ye Zan walked out of the room curiously, and saw that in the lobby of the inn, Liu Gan and his two disciples were arguing with several people until their faces turned red.
Ye Zan walked down the stairs, came to Liu Gan, and asked, "Elder Liu, what's going on?"
"Elder Ye, I'm sorry, I just met a few acquaintances and talked about old things." Liu Gan said about acquaintances, but his eyes were still full of anger and resentment when he looked at those acquaintances.
"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, you said that you, a small alchemist, are actually some kind of elder! But it's no wonder, with your level, finding a sect that is not well-known is enough to take the position of an elder." A man in his thirties and forties on the opposite side heard Ye Zan calling Liu Gan an elder, and immediately said with a mocking face.
Ye Zan glanced at the other party, and said lightly: "Oh, listen to what your Excellency said, you are Elder Liu's younger brother. If my Yuqing Sect is not a popular sect, then I don't know which sect or sect you are. Speak it out to let people know under the downward trend.”
Yu Qingzong?
The man and the people around him were slightly taken aback, as if they were thinking about the origin of Yu Qingzong. It's just that they went through all the first-rate and second-rate sects they knew in their heads, but they didn't find any Yuqing sect.
Indeed, Yu Qingzong's reputation is still too small. Even though the sound transmission has been done thousands of miles away, it is still a million miles away. In places like the Southern Region, few people know about Yu Qingzong. After all, the various sects and sects who built the communication network here will not deliberately confess to others. This technology is all from Yu Qingzong.
The person next to that person seemed to be the other's disciple, and said proudly: "My master is the head elder of the alchemy hall of the Lishan School."
Just like the other party didn't know about Yuqingzong, Ye Zan also looked at a loss when he heard about this Lishan sect. Just looking at the other party's awesome face, it seems that this Lishan faction is also awesome.
"Old Liu, I haven't heard that among the first-class sects in the southern region, there is a sect called Lishan Sect. Is it some hidden top sect?" Ye Zan turned to Liu Gan and asked.
However, Liu Gan showed a sneer on his face, and said disdainfully: "It's normal that Elder Ye has never heard of it. This Lishan Sect is just a small third-rate sect in the Southern Region."
The third-rate sect just said the third-rate sect, but added "little" in front of it, and the people on the opposite side immediately became angry when they heard this.
Liu Gan's younger brother said in a deep voice: "Liu Gan, you are so brave, you dare to insult my Li Shan sect, don't think that my Li Shan sect can't do anything about you if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. For the sake of being a fellow apprentice, I only need to send a letter to Yu Qingzong, and you, an elder, can't do it anymore, believe it or not!"
"I don't believe it." Ye Zan answered immediately.
"..." Liu Gan's junior turned his eyes to Ye Zan, and said in a cold voice after a while: "Your Excellency is just the elder of Yu Qingzong, I advise you not to cause trouble for Yu Qingzong."
Ye Zan was actually rather strange, how could the other party have decided that the Yuqing Sect was an unpopular sect. You must know that even third-rate sects are often only famous in a small area. For example, Ye Zan has never heard of the Lishan sect. Even if it is a second-rate sect, it is impossible for everyone to know it. Maybe a million miles away, the reputation is very small, and few people have heard of it thousands of miles away.
But at this moment, a person came in from the outside, and shouted as soon as he came in: "Yu Qingzong? I don't know who is Yu Qingzong's fellow Taoist!"
In one sentence, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. I saw the person walking into the inn, wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with a tripod embroidered into a cloud pattern on the cuff. Looking at this sign, the other party's identity was immediately revealed, and he was a practitioner from the Danding Sect.
Dandingzong is a real first-class sect, and it is also one of the organizers of this Alchemy Dao Conference. You know, the Patriarch of the Pill Cauldron Sect is one of the two great Pill Sages in the world, and his status is not inferior to the Tongtian Supreme.
"Ye Zan, the Emperor of the Yu Qing Dynasty, met this fellow Taoist of the Dandingzong." Ye Zan saluted.
In fact, when he was in Tiandao Mountain, Ye Zan had contact with some disciples of Dandingzong, and also participated in some exchanges and discussions of Dandao. However, since he didn't put forward any amazing alchemy theories like the talisman exchange, his relationship with several alchemy disciples was just average.
"It turns out that your Excellency is Elder Ye from the Yuqing Sect." The member of the Danding Sect walked over immediately, with a bit of joy in his tone.
Not to mention Liu Gan's younger brother, Ye Zan himself was a bit strange, after all, he didn't seem to have any acquaintances in the Dandingzong.
"Your Majesty's Hushan Zhenjun once communicated with his master through sound transmission over thousands of miles. My master ordered me to wait for a few fellow Taoists at the city gate, but I didn't expect that the fellow Taoists had already entered the city. It's really good for me Wait." The person from the Danding Sect said with a smile, and didn't mean much to blame.
After hearing this, Ye Zan and others realized that it was Mo Rushi's relationship. It's just that Mo Ru didn't know that Ye Zan and the others improved their mounts halfway, and arrived at the ancient city much earlier than expected, which made the Dan Dingzong wait in vain.
"It turned out to be like this. For some reason, I arrived here earlier than expected. I am really sorry for fellow Daoists." Ye Zan said apologetically.
"It's okay, I can see a few fellow Taoists, and I can return to my teacher." The man said, looked around, and said: "A few fellow Taoists are guests from afar, how can they live in the house?" What about this place. My teacher has already asked me to arrange a place for several fellow Taoists, why don't you just let me go."
That Liu Gan's junior brother, upon hearing this, already didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to leave, standing there was rather embarrassing. Not to mention Dan Dingzong's attitude towards Ye Zan and others, the key is that he also heard the other party mention "Hushan Zhenjun". One must know that only the great power of Yuanshen can be called the true king, so this Yuqingzong is obviously not the unpopular sect that he thought, his face suddenly became hot. (To be continued.)
