Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 170 Promotion [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

During this long period of time, Zheng Zha did indeed master the technique of using the power of the Fiery Flame and the Thunder God to temper his physical body.

As a result, his physical strength increased, and his ability to digest the effects of the weapon-forging process also greatly improved.

He quickly devoured all the team's surplus equipment, and also consumed a considerable amount of special metals like vibranium...

And the greatest achievement was actually the runes.

Zheng Zha... was just like a soldier. Just as expected, he had tempered himself into something akin to a magical artifact.

Relying on his ability to fuse weapons and refine his body, Zheng Zha fused Chu Xuan's array platform into his torso. After digesting it, his body was not only branded with three sets of runes: the Four Symbols, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams.

There are countless other miscellaneous rune sets.

Chu Xuan even engraved a spellcasting model modified from the Divine Fist Shattering on a pair of gloves... Now this rune technology has become integrated with Zheng Zha's hands, making up for his shortcomings in attack skills.

Zheng Zha called it "one punch and two cakes".

Why are so many resources being poured into Zheng Zha?
Firstly, Zheng Zha is absolutely worthy of being a main combat force. Secondly... Zheng Zha has indeed already been designated as a [prototype machine].

As everyone knows, a true dragon is a treasure from head to toe. Although Zheng Zha is not a true dragon, he is a fourth-order evil dragon who eats rare and precious materials like food, and is also a treasure from head to toe.

After he completely assimilated with the symbiote, he combined it with the Zhao family technology extracted from Zhao Zhuikong's remains.

Chu Xuan has figured out a method to create the "Gorilla King's Embrace" by cultivating a combination of flesh and blood.

Furthermore, this special weapon retains some of the rune characteristics, so Chu Xuan doesn't need to spend much effort to reproduce most of the functions of the rune set on Zheng Zha's body.

In this way, there's no need to worry about the high cost of drawing runes.

"This is also a BB-level equipment, even stronger and with greater potential than the previous Heavenly Reincarnation," Chu Xuan described it, treating Zheng Zha like an Ancient Dragon.

Its form is a small bead.

After the blood oath is performed, it can transform into a tight-fitting, dragon-scale-like bodysuit that clings to the skin, while retaining the symbiote's ability to freely change shape.

In the last fifty days, Zheng Zha began to frequently visit Chu Xuan's laboratory, and at the same time, he often wore an expression of "life is meaningless".

However, Chu Xuan did not produce too many of these transitional items. After forty-nine days, seven finished products were manufactured, and Zheng Zha was freed.

The stats of the Zhongzhou team have also reached a bottleneck.

Because Chu Xuan could help non-orthodox cultivators establish their foundation, all non-orthodox cultivators with second-tier gene locks reached at least the [Near Core Formation] stage. Even Zero Point, who used the [Giant God Weapon Foundation Establishment], was no exception.

That's roughly the energy level of someone approaching the fourth stage. Since true essence has already been generated, it's not weaker than a cultivator who has just formed their core.

As for Luo Gandao, Zheng Zha, and Cheng Xiao, who have reached the third stage or above, and the exceptional martial arts prodigy Cheng Xiao, they have already accomplished the feat of forming their core and are still accumulating energy.

There's not much to say about Ming Yanwei. After all, she's in a wheelchair, and once the Demon Hunter's inherent weaknesses are resolved, she's naturally at the fourth-tier combat level.

She gathers the twelve sacred artifacts through infinite energy, making her extremely versatile. However, to further enhance her combat power, she must rely on the gene lock.

However, due to severe damage to her essential nature, she is currently very "happy." She spends her days with Zhan Lan, doing things like gardening and planting plants... almost making one suspect that Ming Yanwei has become a completely different person.

But this... is actually her true self before she encountered the dark reality.

The two mental power users in the team have not yet found a suitable method for [Foundation Building] due to the special nature of their system.

Zhang Jie's spiritual power is essentially soul power, which complements his mental power. Coupled with his high-intensity telekinesis and microscopic experience, he did not fall behind in his progress after consuming a large amount of secondary yellow plums.

On the contrary, Zhan Lan has indeed "taken a slower pace of life after stepping down from her frontline position," emphasizing doing whatever she pleases.

For her, maintaining a stable state of mind is the most important thing. Once the inner demons are resolved, it will be an instant for Zhan Lan to catch up on her progress.

Moreover, Fang Ge had already planted the seeds for the giant snake's advancement.

Qi Tengyi and Li Shuaixi's growth was entirely controlled by Chu Xuan... and they were indeed developing in the direction of alchemy and array cultivation.

Qi Tengyi can assist Chu Xuan in setting up formations. He has also learned most of the Necromancer's Scripture and, together with Chu Xuan, has developed a method similar to the [External Alchemy]. He uses the Bone Dragon as his [External Alchemy], implanting the [Aien Stone] into its core and pouring all his necromantic energy into it, using the Bone Dragon as an external mana bar.

Through the special energy circuit constructed by the runes, and the binding and computational capabilities of the Ain Stone, Qi Tengyi can directly use the energy from the Bone Dragon to perform remote spellcasting.

The current connection range is only one kilometer, but this completely avoids the problem of the main body being weak.

Around the 800th day, the Ain Stone mass production revolution occurred.

This allowed Li Shuaixi to break free from the [Infinite Pill System]. His efficiency in acquiring knowledge increased dramatically, to the point that…

Day 1499.

Alchemy and formation are practically inseparable.

Just as it appeared in the original work, the [Doushuai Bagua Furnace] in Luo Yinglong's hands is a spiritual treasure whose usage is similar to setting up an array.

After mastering the runes of the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, and Four Symbols, Chu Xuan made some modifications to the alchemy furnace.

In the end, they created something resembling a beggar's version of the Bagua Furnace.

The illusory image of the Eight Trigrams Furnace was quite realistic. Under the scorching heat of the flames of life, two pills, like the two polarities of Tai Chi, swirled continuously within the furnace.

The sun and moon stars within the inner universe are continuously transforming into the purest yin and yang energy, aiding in the formation of the elixir!

then……

"boom!"

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, and a surge of immense energy erupted forth. Accompanying this surge of energy, the strange phenomena in the sky instantly materialized.

It is a mirage that evolves into eight natural phenomena: heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh, ultimately returning to the two forms of yin and yang.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Li Shuaixi snapped his fingers, and the formation stopped operating, filling the air with the fragrance of elixirs.

The illusory image of the Eight Trigrams Furnace slowly disappeared, revealing two perfectly round pills, one black and one white, slowly rotating. Faint light flickered on their surfaces, like eyes, giving one an extremely strange feeling.

Two extremes, yet at this moment, seem to be one.

So... what name should we choose?

Li Shuaixi looked at his captain with suspicion. These two pills were the result of Fang Ge and Chu Xuan's research.

That was a violent dismantling method; the two pills were completely disregarded... the so-called "edibility".

Fang Ge, on the other hand, used the condensed Yang energy from stars and a large amount of Netherworld spring water—two completely opposite materials—and applied the Yin-Yang principle from the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements to create an extremely high-concentration energy crystal through the Tai Chi theory.

The furnace exploded six times, and it took a long time to finally complete the pill.

Based on Li Shuaixi's professional knowledge, the finished product really doesn't look like something a human could eat.

"Forget about the pills, it's essentially just a mixture of yin and yang... Don't worry, it won't kill you, we're not ordinary people." Fang Ge said nonchalantly, spreading his hands.

His background is too profound. It seems that Zheng Zha is the king of piling up materials in the team, but in reality, it is Fang Ge himself.

Because... the energy that they and their group cannot utilize will become the material for Fang Ge's material stacking.

Unless it involves special means such as explosions or destruction, Zheng Zha would be slightly at a disadvantage in a physical confrontation with Fang Ge.

The inner world has a radius of more than six kilometers... The accumulation of the Golden Core stage is so powerful that to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, one must use some drastic methods.

and……

"I will try my best." Zhao Yingkong took the [Yang Dan] and secretly vowed.
