Chapter 310 The Other Side
In order to promote sales, Li Qi originally collected some samples of the Holy Flame as display products.
In the power system of the Holy Flame Clan, a person who can reach the first level is already a very, very powerful individual, so the ninth level Holy Flame is actually produced by the strong.
There are only a small number of eighth-grade people, no more than a hundred people at most.
As for the seventh grade... there are only four or five people.
The only sixth-grade one is the Holy King, and he is still semi-disabled.
This is also the reason why Li Qi wants to revitalize the Holy Flame Realm.
Only a prosperous Holy Flame Realm can continuously provide Holy Flames. Li Qi does not want to rule the world. Most of the materials in the Holy Flame Realm are difficult for him to handle, and there is no way to process them into wealth. If they can all be converted into The Holy Flame would be the best.
After taking out the ninth-grade holy flame, Liu Shenzhi took it and asked, "How much is this thing worth?"
"It's a bit more expensive than the remnant souls of monster beasts, but that's mainly because it can't beat the slaughterhouse." Li Qi said.
In fact, it should be cheaper.
Judging from the production process, Holy Flames are not only more numerous but also of higher quality than Remnant Souls.
As products of pure spiritual resonance, they are extremely psychoactive and reproducible.
A ninth-grade monster can only produce a ninth-grade remnant soul once in its life. A ninth-grade holy flame tribesman, with good rest and good nutrition, can produce more than ten ninth-grade holy flames a year.
In theory, Holy Flame will be cheaper.
But there is no way...
There are so many remnant souls of monster beasts that no one can humane.
Unlike the shamanistic mentality of leaving beasts to grow naturally and letting humans and monsters compete on their own, treating them equally, humanity really operates breeding farms and slaughterhouses.
Not to mention other places, just in Chang'an, millions of monsters are slaughtered and broken down every day, and then their body parts are hung in the market for people to buy.
One year is easily hundreds of millions of residual souls.
Meat is something that grows from other animals. The hundreds of millions of people in Chang'an eat meat every day, practice cultivation, and have so many magical weapons. It's not something that was conjured.
Therefore, the number of remnant souls of monster beasts is also extremely large. Such a huge number is enough to keep the cost down, so the price of remnant souls of monster beasts is actually a little cheaper than that of the Holy Flame.
However, Li Qi felt that the first market should have been found.
It is true that the holy flame cannot completely replace the remnant soul, because the remnant soul has other uses and can be used in various places. If it is not possible, it can be burned as fuel, but the holy flame cannot be burned.
But when it comes to feeding wizard silkworms, the Holy Flame is much better than the Remnant Soul.
Therefore, even if the price is more expensive, he thinks Liu Shenzhi will still choose Shengyan.
"It's more expensive... That's fine. Brother Li, how much can you provide me with? The amount I need shouldn't be much. After all, you know, research is not mass production after all." Liu Shenzhi also understood what Li Qi was saying. Meaning, he simply made the request.
But Li Qi was not prepared to accept the money.
He said: "No, it's just some ninth-grade holy flames. It doesn't hurt to give it to Brother Liu. Moreover, I am also somewhat interested in your magic weapon silkworm. I'm afraid this thing will not be that simple in the future. I don't know the size of this thing, Brother Liu. Can it carry the wisdom of you and me?"
Hearing Li Qi's words, Liu Canzhi was stunned at first, and then overjoyed!
"That's natural! With Brother Li's help! The magic weapon silkworm will definitely achieve something!"
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from outside. It was Liu Junyi's voice: "Shenzhi, my uncle asked you to take classmate Li Qi to have a drink with you."
"Okay! Come here!" Liu Shenzhi was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Witchcraft Silkworm, if another young master’s resources and wisdom are invested in it, I am afraid it can really serve as the basis for his promotion to the seventh level!
You know, although Liu Shenzhi has a way to practice humanity——
But in essence, he is a practitioner of reason.
Li Qi smiled and simply threw the holy flame to Liu Shenzhi.
Only the faint sound of the holy flame was heard, emitting its light for the first time in the world.
It is a certain light of hope, a new technology, the birth of a new method.
————————————
The endless outer realm, the Holy Flame Realm.
The holy flame radiates light in the darkness.
Bai Gaga... no, it's Gaga. He has given up this surname and cannot be called that.
Gaga, stood in a pool of blood, with four or five burning holy flames floating around, quietly emitting light.
In this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, the holy flame seemed to be emitting light of despair.
The Holy Flame is the product of the spiritual resonance of the Holy Flame tribesmen, and spiritual resonance is the strongest in both cases.
One is what the Green Mountain God longs for, which is the resonance generated in large-scale group sacrifices. Everyone worships the same statue of the god. The quality of the holy flame generated by such resonance will be quite high.
Another kind is...the battlefield, or the slaughterhouse.
Death, despair, fear, rage, murderous intent, and countless negative emotions resonate, and a holy flame will be born.
There is not much difference between the holy flames produced by the two. In terms of applicability, there is basically no difference, although in fact it will cause emotional differences.
Holy flames such as large-scale sacrifices or prayers contain positive emotions, hope, desire, etc.
The holy flame born on the battlefield or during killing will make people irritable.
However, the negative emotions or positive emotions contained in it...actually look similar to practitioners.
External emotions are not good, whether positive or negative, they are all garbage.
Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy must come from one's own heart. Although the overly strong emotions of the Holy Flame increase the activity of this thing, it also makes the user affected by the emotions.
Of course, the impact is not great. If you can't even control external emotions, then don't practice, go back to farming.
Therefore, in the eyes of Li Qi and others, there is no difference between the two Holy Flames.
However, in the eyes of the Holy Flame people themselves, the difference is very big.
Walking on the battlefield, the whole plain seemed to be splashed with the blood of the Holy Flame people.
Countless corpses were crushed back and forth by magic and the crowd. After several tramplings, they turned dark red, and they were even a little sticky when stepped on.
Walking, you can understand what "die hard".
He didn't even want to touch those Holy Flames.
But... there was no way not to touch them.
Because, since he got the practice, he knew one thing.
The practice condensed a "door" in his body.
He can throw holy flames into this door and unlock different spells and martial arts.
Of course, unlocking is not learning directly, but it will give him some more memories. Learning with this memory will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
If it is Li Qi, he will be very familiar with this method.
The most common method of spreading skills in the world is the inheritance of divine will.
This skill seems to be some kind of insatiable devouring machine. It can eat as many holy flames as needed. As long as the amount offered is sufficient, he will get more feedback.
With such a blessing, he can live to this day, in this chaotic world, and even in the center of the battlefield just now.
However, personal force can only keep him alive.
There is a certain difference in the light of the universe between the Holy Flame Realm and the world, about one day is equal to two days.
In the Endless Domain, this is a very normal deviation of the light of the universe, because the light of the universe is a relative value, not an absolute value.
Li Qi thought that a month had passed, but in fact, two months had passed.
These two months... are really like hell.
A sixth-grade world has a population of over 100 billion people. The footprints of the Holy Flame Clan are all over the world. He doesn't know what the places he hasn't seen look like.
But at least what he sees now is only the pain of falling to the bottom of the valley.
Many Holy Flame Clan members starved to death, or were so hungry that they chose to take risks. There were hundreds of victims crying and begging in every place.
The road was full of exiles, and the road was full of bones.
The wind was gloomy, and the ghosts were blue.
Some people ate their children, and some ate the soil.
There were people who groaned on the roadside like ghosts, and there were also people who couldn't even groan, and could only lie on the road and wait for death.
Good people would turn a blind eye to these starving people when they passed by.
But some people would take them back when they passed by these starving people.
Not burying them, but eating them.
This scene has appeared countless times, and naturally someone will stand up.
Near Gaga, there was a strong man named Ge Gu. According to the classification of the immortals, he was called the ninth rank... According to the Holy Flame World, he was called a 'formal warrior'.
Ge Gu, a man, gathered thousands of people in the forest and around the city, and raised his banner, restoring order in a small area, probably several small cities.
Gaga also worked under Ge Gu, who was very optimistic about him and brought Gaga with him to the battle this time.
However, after the battle, Gaga stayed alone on the battlefield, collecting the Holy Flame.
The Holy Flame people themselves hated these desperate Holy Flames, thinking that they were bad symbols, and usually threw them away to let them dissipate naturally.
But Gaga needed to use these things to make himself stronger.
Stronger.
Strong enough to speak in this chaotic world, and have people listen to what he said, just like Ge Gu.
Halfway through collecting the Holy Flame, Gaga suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
A voice rang out: "Hey, Gaga, why are you still here? Don't you think it's unlucky?"
Gaga looked back and found that it was Ge Gu.
"Ah, Ge Gu, I just... can't bear to leave these holy flames here, so I'm going to collect them." Gaga said something against his will.
In fact, it's not that noble. He just plans to put the holy flames into the strange existence brought by the practice in his body, and then new martial arts and magic will appear in it, and they are all suitable for him.
But all this is to make this chaotic world hear his voice.
"Collect it... It's okay, it's up to you." The Holy Flame tribe member named Ge Gu walked to Gaga and said casually.
He has seen a lot of weird things, so he didn't ask.
Because, in this era, in such a chaotic world, people will go crazy if they don't insist.
And if a person has persistence, then in some cases, he is no different from a madman.
So Ge Gu has become accustomed to the quirks of his companions around him.
Gaga likes to collect the Holy Flame of Despair. He also has people who like to overeat, those who refuse to eat meat, those who vomit when they see raw meat, and those who pray three times a day.
People always need some support to keep the motivation to live in troubled times.
Ge Gu never asked where these people's quirks came from, which was why no one hated him.
Ge Gu didn't dwell on it for too long. He quickly got to the point and said to Gaga: "After collecting the things here, you go to the east alone. There is a new city there, and it seems that they have a lot of complaints about us."
"Our grain transport team was attacked by many mobile armed forces. We repelled them many times, but did not catch any alive."
"Later, we found that they attacked indiscriminately. They were basically small groups of grain-stealing troops. They would search any place where there might be grain, and they would not even spare the corpses."
"It is too dangerous for such forces to stay by our side. They do not engage in production, but only plunder. We cannot keep them. You are the fastest and best at hiding. Go and see the situation." Ge Gu said to Gaga.
"Okay, I'll go and see later." Gaga nodded.
This is why Gaga joined Ge Gu's team.
No matter what Ge Gu did, what he chose to do was to take in refugees, reclaim wasteland, restore a certain degree of order, and then promote reproduction.
Instead of being like most people in this world, who only knew to coerce others and constantly plunder other people's living materials to make themselves rich.
This is rare in troubled times.
In the previous two months, war and famine had destroyed all order and morality, and all the things of the Holy Flame Clan were gone.
People's only thoughts were eating and killing, and hunger and violence dominated everything.
When these negative things accumulated, people's feelings became numb.
When life was full of barbarism, cruelty, and terror, people would be shocked at first, but after half a month, they got used to it.
Even Gaga was like this.
He had become accustomed to the insects crawling out of the body of the child who was still breathing and struggling.
Buying and selling women and children was simply natural, and even selling children was not wanted by anyone, so they had to eat them themselves.
People had become accustomed to all this, and unimaginable things became bland.
What are the rules of society? What are laws? What is civilization? What is fairness and justice?
I don't understand, I don't know.
Only the most primitive instincts remained.
In the first half a month, Gaga could only see broken corpses everywhere, blood stains on the ground, and the living people kept vibrating and wailing, but more people seemed to have lost their souls.
It was Ge Gu who first established order in this area and restored everything to a less bad situation.
So, if a new order must be established, Gaga is willing to contribute to Ge Gu.
"Well, I came here to tell you this. It has been two months. The first batch of fast-growing grains has almost recovered. If we can hold on for another month, we can develop eastward and shelter more people." Ge Gu said.
"Good." Gaga nodded, then packed up and prepared to leave.
