Chapter 154 The New Era: Cultivating Demonic Spirit in the Dao Heart [Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Summoning a necromancer is undoubtedly a wheelchair.

Golden dragons are a type of dragon with extremely high physical and magical resistance. Adult golden dragons are undoubtedly legendary creatures. As long as they have metal to replenish their energy, they are practically immortal!
With enough necromantic energy, you can use [Summon Skeleton Soldier] to obtain a warrior dragon comparable to a tier 4 beginner.

A CC-rank summoning necromancer possesses 1 unit of necromancy energy.

BB level means 9 units. They can naturally command third-tier dungeon lords.

Qi Tengyi had previously cultivated by collecting necromantic energy, and his body already contained about 10 units of necromantic aura. After strengthening, it would be 18 units.

Once you accumulate 27 units of necromantic aura, you can command a Tier 4 beginner bone dragon warrior!

To be honest, there's practically no cost involved... you just need to kill some [Gandha's brother] in the Corpse Central Team, it's just a matter of a few days.

As for the purple dragon's corpse, which is skilled in magic, it requires a B-rank side quest. To control it, you need to summon a skeleton mage, which requires 81 units of necromantic aura...

It would be virtually impossible for Qi Tengyi to do this without unlocking the third-order gene lock.

"Chu Xuan will take all the usable materials from this dragon corpse. And we still have two spellbooks in our hands. You are the best user of the Book of the Dead."

Fang Ge looked at the burly man from Shandong before her and placed high hopes on him, saying:
"Next, you can work as Chu Xuan's assistant and learn how to analyze spell models and runes. The deficiency in computing power can also be resolved after Chu Xuan replicates the [Ain Stone]."

"So... the only problem is that my body can't store too much necromantic energy, right?"

Qi Teng scratched his head, finally getting to the heart of the matter, and said, "How about we try some kind of enhancement like lich modification?"

Being able to proactively propose the [Lich Modification]... it has to be said that although Qi Tengyi's presence is not strong, and his appearance frequency in the original work is even less than that of the [Green Goblin Skateboard], his spirit of dedication is still very strong.

“I admire your self-sacrifice, but things haven’t come to that point yet.”

Fang Ge tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Summoning a necromancer is both a profession and a bloodline. There are risks involved in enhancing other bloodlines, so most people choose physical modification."

"However, the aura of the dead does not automatically recover. Any kind of undead creature can be your energy reserve. As long as you maintain a certain number of undead creatures and have the ability to withstand the erosion when casting spells, you will be fine."

This is also one aspect of the necromancer's overpowered nature; their energy cycle is externalized, and the number of undead creatures is limited by the necromancer's own computational and mental power.

With plenty of peaches for the Central Continent Team, the possibility of them being killed by a backlash is virtually nonexistent.

"It sounds like it takes quite a bit of practice... I'll try to learn it in the next few days." Qi Teng laughed.

—Yes, turning an electric wheelchair into a hand-cranked one requires a lot of manual operation!

Fang Ge smiled as well, knowing that Qi Tengyi was joking.

"After mastering these basic skills, you should still focus on body tempering and spell model analysis, including formations, which you can also study more about... It's up to Chu Xuan to make the specific arrangements."

Qi Teng nodded silently, unaware that these words would make him the third busiest person in the Zhongzhou team.

So who is the second largest?
It's Li Shuaixi. Because he will become the transit point for [Infinite Energy 2.0], an endless alchemy machine...

Now, only Lingdian and Mingyanwei remain to be redeemed!
Considering the unique nature of demon hunters, Fang Ge first asked, "Ming Yanwei, how are you feeling now? Do you remember what you enhanced?"

"Me? I'm fine!" Ming Yanwei smiled, appearing very cheerful. "I'm almost ready to condense my third sacred artifact!"

—That's not right...

Logically speaking, she should have been a person burdened with bitterness and resentment, but now she's transformed into a cheerful young woman. While this seems like a good thing, it actually suggests that she's likely lost a significant portion of her dark memories and essence!

Previously, Chu Xuan had reported that Ming Yanwei was abusing sacred artifacts, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!
This means that Ming Yanwei's essential flaws have reached a point where they are enough to affect her personality.

Fang Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Then how about this? Use your C-level side quest to exchange for the [Dao Heart Demon Seed] manual, and as for the B-level side quest, exchange for a [Huang Zhong Li]."

【The Demon Seed in the Dao Heart, originating from the broader martial arts genre, involves a transformation from the Dao to the demonic, planting a demonic seed within the Dao heart—a truly bizarre and unpredictable phenomenon. Strengthening it requires one A-rank side quest, rewarding 10000 points. Exchanging it for the manual only requires one C-rank side quest, rewarding 1000 points.】

[Huangzhong Plum, the fruit of the innate spiritual root Huangzhong Plum. Its flower resembles a lotus, and its fruit resembles a pearl-like stamen. Both the flower and fruit bear the characters "Huangzhong." Eating it may grant the potential to become an immortal. Requires one B-level side quest and rewards 6000 points.]

Ming Yanwei could understand the latter; it must be that she wanted to use the fruit pits to plant fruit trees.

Of these ten innate spiritual roots, only the Immortal Apricot and the Yellow Plum can be used to cultivate secondary spiritual plants using the fruits from the main god's abode.

However, Huangzhong plums are different from flat peaches. They produce very few fruits each time, and their quality is not higher than that of second-grade flat peaches.

However, the two have different focuses: the flat peach emphasizes the physical body and energy, while the yellow plum emphasizes the spirit and spiritual cultivation.

Considering the principle of cultivating both body and spirit, and the fact that spiritual plants have a good effect on the foundation of the world... Fang Ge decided to raise one.

"I'm already a Demon Hunter Enhancement cultivator, can I still cultivate the Dao Heart Demon Seed?" Ming Yanwei was quite puzzled by the former.

"It's not for you to cultivate, it's for the Samsara Army to cultivate."

Fang Ge shook her head, dismissing her guess.

"There are three ways to use the Dao Heart to plant a demon: the most orthodox way is to plant it in oneself, the most demonic way is to plant it in another, and the third way is that the one who plants the demon is willing to sacrifice himself, combining his own demonic power with all his essence, energy and spirit to give to the furnace, so as to give birth to the demon seed."

"What we need is a third option, where clones completely sacrifice themselves to compensate for each other's shortcomings with their own."

It's a very inhumane practice, but the Reincarnation Army doesn't have any human rights declaration either.

With the Bodhi tree, it's only a matter of time before the Samsara Army masters this technique.

Ming Yanwei didn't need the transmitted demonic power... she only needed the other party's essence, energy, and spirit to strengthen her physical body and make up for the loss of her soul essence.

This significantly lowers the specific cultivation level requirements for the Reincarnation Army. Plus, with the availability of lower-grade peaches, they can be ready for sacrifice in about six months!

Ming Yanwei thus went from a [Consumable Tier 3 Peak] to a [Sustainable Tier 3 Peak]. This can be considered a successful upgrade!
"And then there's the last midnight. Do you have any personal wishes?" Fang Ge asked.

Zero is indeed a person with few desires, and the way he is used in the original work is very mechanical... Whenever there is an enemy that cannot be defeated, Zero can use his Mystic Eyes to kill them in one blow!

However, snipers are not actually a good match for the Dot-Line Eye. The Dot-Line Eye is best suited for melee combat or telekinetic attacks, which are non-ballistic.

"My specialty is sniping... To be effective, all you need is sharp eyesight and a sniper rifle, right? It's just a matter of the type of sniper rifle."

The thin man offered no insightful opinions.

"I think we still need to make some modifications."

Fang Ge stroked his chin and gave an answer that was completely unexpected:

"You might want to check out the [Elf Wind Archer Bloodline]."
