Chapter 169: Talisman Master and Scarab

With the current computing logic and Zheng Yi's reserve, this '72 Earthly Evil Techniques Talisman Acupoint System' is gradually perfected, which is also an improvement of his personal foundation. It can almost be said that he racked his brains and tapped his potential, and finally barely reached his personal limit.

After opening the last 72nd flesh acupoint, Zheng Yi's work of deducing the system with the super computing power of the Super Brain God can almost come to an end.

Next, it is to fill the system with flesh and blood.

This is something that the Super Brain God with a broad vision cannot do.

And it needs to rely on Zheng Yi's real forces, the Daluo Alliance, to complete it.

However, although the process of this potential excavation is extremely painful and difficult, it also makes Zheng Yi gain a lot, and his soul power has made considerable progress.

Zheng Yi has an idea that in his future cultivation path, the incense world and the deduction and calculation ability of the Super Brain God may be a crucial trump card for him.

Sooner or later, it will shine.

After the deduction plan comes to an end, Zheng Yi needs to continue the next work.

The first thing is to see how far the cultivation of the scarab has progressed.

Whether it is Fengdu City in the doomsday world or the Daluo Alliance in Dayi Fairyland, they are just tools of power used by Zheng Yi.

What he values ​​about these two major forces is not the power and status, but the resources and convenient conditions for cultivation that can be brought to him.

In the world of cultivation where personal power surpasses all prerequisites, one's own strength is the foundation of everything, and the rest are castles in the air. Zheng Yi understood this a long time ago.

But even this point, many people don't know until they die. They work hard all day long, busy, intrigue, and do things like picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, buying boxes and returning pearls.

Zheng Yi wants to complete the establishment of the 72 Earthly Evil Spells and Runes Body Refining System. He can't do it alone, but if he uses the power of the Daluo Alliance and Fengdu City, he can accomplish many things that individual cultivators can't accomplish at all.

The higher you go in cultivation, the more you need to mobilize resources.

No matter how strong your talent is or how good your comprehension is, if I play a trump card and mobilize all kinds of resources, which are several times, ten times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times more than yours, how can you deal with it?

…

In the specially designated area in Fengdu City, Zheng Yi opened the base formation used to secretly cultivate scarab beetles, revealing a clear view inside.

In the huge cultivation pool, the corpse turtles, which were originally as big as buttons, have been cultivated with a large amount of zombie blood and flesh essence and are expanding and growing wildly.

The zombie blood and flesh consumed here are huge every day. According to Zheng Yi's requirements, the staff of Fengdu City continuously replenish zombie blood and flesh to this area to cultivate this kind of scarab beetle.

Unlike what I saw last time, the originally small corpse turtles have obtained a lot of nutrition with sufficient food supplements, and their size has increased by two or three times.

A small part of them have begun to metamorphose, shedding their black shells and becoming flat. Their bodies are golden and metallic, as if they were made of gold. They are so hard that even Zheng Yi could not touch them with two fingers. This is what the Xin family calls the scarab.

Yin is born from Yang. They were originally carrion-eating corpse turtles, but in the process of continuous metamorphosis, they have undergone several metamorphosis, producing extreme Yang from extreme Yin, and becoming scarab beetles that exude a holy aura.

This is also part of the truth in the world.

The ground of this culture pool has been compacted and reinforced by formations. Its hardness is like metal, but even with such a hard ground, there are still large hills and graves, like giant ant nests made by ants.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi made sufficient preparations and laid a formation outside to prevent the scarabs from escaping. It also took the ground into consideration. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to stop these things.

Several scarabs have been born in the huge nest, and the things that follow will be a matter of course.

The speed of cultivation was faster than Zheng Yi had imagined.

His soul power swept across this space, and the situation inside was integrated into his mind at once. Suddenly, several specific mature scarabs appeared in front of Zheng Yi.

"There are already about five scarabs that have completely metamorphosed, and some of the body colors have changed. I believe that they will be able to evolve successfully after a period of time!"

"It's just that with such a large number and so much zombie flesh and blood essence, the number of scarabs cultivated in the end is so rare. It can also be seen that the metamorphosis of this kind of spiritual insect is a completely irregular atavistic metamorphosis..."

Although such a large number of scarabs were cultivated for the first time, Zheng Yi was still very dissatisfied.

The cultivation output ratio is really too low.

Fortunately, Xin Lingxian didn't know what happened here. You know, for decades, the Xin family has worked hard and has not cultivated more than a hundred scarabs.

And the number that Zheng Yi cultivated for the first time has already had a significant effect, but he is still very dissatisfied.

It can be seen that the wealth brought by occupying a unique world resource and having a big force under one's command is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary independent cultivators or small immortal cultivation families.

Zheng Yi did not wait for more scarabs to be born, but took the first batch of five to return to Dayi Immortal Realm.

At the same time, he ordered people to increase the delivery of zombie flesh and blood essence and started the cultivation of the second batch of scarabs.

The reason why they didn't wait any longer was that it was extremely difficult to train a scarab beetle, and the loss rate in the middle would inevitably be very high. Even if they gathered 72 scarabs, they would not succeed in one go, and the refining process would inevitably result in scrapping.

Therefore, the first batch of five scarabs were used for familiarization and trial use, and there would be a steady stream of scarabs sent over as experimental materials in the future.

For Zheng Yi, these were all renewable resources.

With the Soul Palace and Fengdu City, there would be a steady stream of scarabs.

When the production machine of Fengdu Ghost City was started, Dayi Immortal Realm and Daluo Alliance soon sent out news at Zheng Yi's suggestion, inviting talisman masters to be guests.

In fact, the general meaning was to recruit talisman masters with a large sum of money, requiring them to engrave runes on specific things, and the price offered was quite good.

Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, rune masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners are all extremely profitable craftsmen, but because the entry threshold is extremely high and requires talent, even if one practices hard for decades, only one in a hundred people can make a living with this craft.

The price of basic runes is around a hundred spirit crystals, or even one or two low-grade spirit stones. As for some precious runes, the price is even more expensive.

The price offered by the Daluo Alliance has doubled, and of course the requirements are higher. It must be able to engrave fine-grade runes, have a high success rate, sign a confidentiality clause, and make a heavenly oath that the information of the engraved runes cannot be leaked to the outside world.

But the price is really too good, and the Daluo Alliance is a big family with a huge business. Recently, it has been frantically expanding its industry. Its reputation is very guaranteed, and it is not afraid of not getting the agreed salary. After hearing the news, a large number of rune masters went to various branches of the Daluo Alliance.

The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.

Even those who have achieved immortality are no exception.

As a human being, there is always a profit.

So not long after the recruitment message was sent out, many rune masters were hired by the Daluo Alliance to carry out their work.

The Daluo Alliance obviously attaches great importance to the task released this time. Not only does it provide a complete range of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it also has all the tools and resources needed to engrave runes, and it is generous in selecting high-quality products.

This naturally won the hearts of many rune masters. After all, making runes is a high-investment and high-return job, just like refining pills.

Many people are rejected even if they have talent, just because they need various resources to practice. Not to mention whether they can make a little achievement, just being proficient in runes in the early stage has already cost a lot.

But now all these resources are provided by the Daluo Alliance, and they are willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course, the premise is that you can meet the requirements of the Daluo Alliance, and there will be professional supervision, so it is not so easy to be free.

With the momentum of the Daluo Alliance today, not many casual rune masters dare to take advantage of it.

Although the requirements put forward by the official alliance are a bit strange, runes are usually engraved on magic tools, talisman paper, jade beads, carriers and other things to play the powerful effect of runes, but the requirements put forward by the Daluo Alliance are to engrave the runes on a golden living beetle.

This golden beetle is unknown and has never been seen in the outside world, but its golden armor is dazzling and emits a hazy glow. Moreover, its shell is tough and has excellent spiritual capacity, even better than ordinary high-quality talisman paper.

The talisman master who received the task even speculated that it was because the Daluo Alliance discovered these strange spiritual insects that they offered such a high price and prepared to combine this golden beetle with the engraved runes to produce some strange effects.

Of course, before coming here, they had signed a spiritual contract with the Daluo Alliance and made a heavenly oath that they would not talk too much and make themselves bored. They put their doubts in their hearts early and set the goal of completing the task and making money.

No matter what others ask, just do it.

Taking money from others and helping others to eliminate disasters, although the status of a casual cultivator talisman master is quite high, it is completely inadequate compared to a behemoth like the Daluo Alliance. They also understand the truth in this regard and are the most cooperative.

Those casual cultivators who can have a skill are often smart people, otherwise they will bring disaster to themselves, and there is no legal support in the world of immortal cultivation.

The price given by the Daluo Alliance is quite good, almost twice the price of ordinary rune engraving, so for the talisman master, as long as the price is in place, what the rune is engraved on and what the effect is, it is not their concern at all, just need to complete the master's requirements.

Moreover, the material of this golden beetle is special, and it is also a good experimental direction. Others provide superior resources for themselves to practice, and many casual cultivator talisman masters are eager for it, so there is no idea of ​​wasting it.

The first batch of talisman masters who rushed to the Daluo Alliance were selected by the branches of various chambers of commerce. There are more than 20 in total, and they are all casual cultivator talisman masters. The Daluo Alliance has requirements and refuses to train talisman masters in sects.

This request was also made by Zheng Yi. On the one hand, it was to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation, and on the other hand, it was to keep it confidential to the maximum extent possible, so as to avoid any groundless speculation or unforeseen events.

The independent talisman master was alone, without any support from the forces behind him, so he was relatively simple and easier to control.

These rune masters are almost all beginner rune masters, who can only incise basic runes. The Daluo Alliance is also buying horse bones for a huge sum of money, mainly to make a name for themselves and to set an example, just like throwing a stone to test the water or throwing a brick to attract jade. As long as they can afford the price, those truly famous rune masters will come in droves.

After all, in this world, no one can get away from money.

Many high-end rune masters are still relying on their status and are still waiting for news.

For this group of beginner rune masters who don’t seem to be very good, the Daluo Alliance still treats them seriously and holds a grand welcome ceremony. After a good banquet, they took them to see the ‘materials’ that need to be engraved with runes.

As these rune masters knew before, the material they engraved the runes this time was very special, which was a kind of golden beetle resource provided by the Daluo Alliance itself.

Although it is a bug, it is a very magical golden beetle.

These insects are covered with a golden, armor-like shell, with two long fangs on the front. They exude a very yang breath. When you get close to these golden beetles, you will feel a warm breath from the flesh and blood.

This is the so-called yin and yang.

Those golden scarabs are fed with the blood and flesh of countless zombies, and they devour a lot of yin power.

But because of the method of raising Gu, they constantly bite each other, and the final survivors accumulate too strong yin, but they are not stained by the mud, and yang is born from yin. It is a rare material for refining treasures, and it is absolutely more than enough to engrave runes.

Of course, the secrets involved are the research results of several generations of the Xin family. It has always been kept secret. Now after Zheng Yi’s special cultivation in the doomsday world, it has increased the evolutionary attributes. Outsiders have no way of knowing, which is not surprising.

These talisman masters are also outstanding among the casual cultivators, but no one has ever seen such a golden scarab evolved from a corpse tortoise. One by one, they sensed the strange materials and even sensed the properties of the intersection of yin and yang contained in them, and they were all amazed.

They felt that the world was so big that they could learn until they were old.

There were so many kinds of rare materials that they didn't know all of them, which was not surprising.

The number of this kind of golden scarab was quite rare, and it must be cultivated through unique methods, with the help of Gu Shu and the method of refining instruments, in order to make it evolve.

Among them, about 90% of the beginner talisman masters said that with their own attainments and skills in the way of talismans, they could not carve runes on the smooth and hard surface of the golden scarab.

For these people, the Daluo Alliance did not neglect them, but only asked them to sign a contract and seal their mouths with the oath of heaven, and then sent them out of the headquarters with gifts, and attached a generous round-trip travel fee.

The move of the Daluo Alliance, after being spread by interested people, immediately attracted the favor of a large number of talisman masters. Those talisman masters who were truly powerful and famous were invited to come one by one after being invited three times.

After screening, the five most capable talisman masters were finally selected as the first batch of trial subjects, and the remaining talisman masters were screened again as backup forces.

So, the first batch of five golden scarabs were distributed to each talisman master.

Although these talisman masters were already famous or had a little fame, when they really wanted to engrave the runes on the hard shell of the golden scarab, they found that things were not simple.

On the one hand, the 72 Earthly Evil spell runes were originally the fine runes among the basic runes, and some of them were even mastered by high-level talisman masters in the foundation-building period.

On the other hand, it was also because runes had never been engraved on the golden scarab, especially as a living body, with yin and yang energy on the body, and the hard shell itself, and there was another mystery. It was not simple to engrave runes on it to make the breath perfect and harmonious.

If there was a slight mistake in the writing, these runes would likely conflict with the spiritual power of the golden scarab itself, and the whole plan would fail.

As a result, from the very beginning, they encountered considerable difficulties.
