Chapter 163 The Dark Lord's Question (Additional Update 7)
After obtaining Ornn's forging heritage, Bai Ye put most of his energy into this aspect, and his progress in the law naturally slowed down.
Although Bai Ye has more than 20,000 clones, he can't stand the fact that there are too many and too many directions to practice.
Once the energy is dispersed, the progress in certain directions will naturally slow down.
Of course, this is mainly because Bai Ye has put most of the newly added clones in recent years into the "Blood Demon Continent" to kill, and the number of clones used for cultivation remains at the original scale, and even hundreds of clones were withdrawn after starting to study refining.
Although Bai Ye has his own reasons, Bai Ye is indeed distracted, which has led to a decrease in cultivation efficiency, and the decrease is quite obvious.
When the Lord of Darkness heard Bai Ye's words, he immediately became curious and asked directly: "What are you practicing recently?"
"I am studying refining weapons." Bai Ye paused for a moment and continued: "I found that the mainstream weapons in the universe are no longer suitable for my strength. Asking a master of refining weapons to customize exclusive weapons for me is not only expensive, but also time-consuming and laborious to make, and cannot meet large-scale demand. So I plan to refine suitable weapons myself."
"Refining weapons..."
The Lord of Darkness's face suddenly became a little difficult to describe. He wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to know where to start.
You are a genius in combat, and you are studying refining weapons? !
What kind of brain circuit is this?
"I have spent more than a hundred years, and now I have a yield rate of more than half of the primary magic weapons. Within a thousand years, I am confident that I can forge a large number of top magic weapons. Within tens of thousands of years, I am confident that I can forge treasures. Of course, if it is higher, my current strength is far from enough. At least I have to step into the realm master or even immortal before I can try."
Bai Ye gave a very conservative estimate based on his own progress and the content in "Basics of Forging".
"Basic Forging", just the part that Bai Ye can see now, has forging skills equivalent to the "treasure" level.
And this is far from the limit of "Basic Forging".
Bai Ye can't guarantee the part that can't be seen later.
But as long as there is enough practice, Bai Ye is sure to master the elementary "treasure".
The Lord of Darkness wanted to dissuade him, but when he heard that Bai Ye was sure that he could refine treasures in the future, he immediately held back the words on his lips.
Now that he is sure to master the means of refining treasures, is it possible to refine treasures in the future?
Even if it is just the most ordinary treasure, it is of great value to the tribe.
Although the materials of treasures are rare, the masters who can refine treasures are even rarer, and there is not even one in the entire human race.
In the past, if you want to refine treasures, you have to spend a high price to ask those refining masters who have a good relationship with the human race to do it.
If the human race can have its own refining master, it will be of great significance.
After hesitating for a while, the Lord of Darkness did not persuade Bai Ye to give up the path of refining weapons, but only reminded him: "Strength is the foundation, and the perception of the law should not be given up."
Since his disciple wants to try, let him try.
Anyway, there are many clones, and the efficiency of assisting in cultivation or learning other skills is amazing, and there is enough trial and error capital.
Besides, Bai Ye is still very young, even if he takes a detour, he will have time to turn around.
As a teacher, I just need to keep an eye on it.
"Yes, disciple remembers."
Bai Ye immediately decided to withdraw some of the clones from the 'Blood Demon Continent' to comprehend the three Chaos Monuments when he returned.
Under Bai Ye's slaughter over the years, the scale of blood demons on the 'Blood Demon Continent' has been significantly reduced, and it is getting closer and closer to the 'line' drawn by the Lord of Darkness for Bai Ye.
It is more cost-effective to leave fewer clones to kill and let more clones practice, improve the perception of the law, study various inheritances, etc.
As for the specific distribution, Bai Ye plans to plan it carefully after returning.
"Recently, the alien spies have been active, and it may not be safe for you to stay in your hometown. The main body should go to Chaos City as soon as possible, or return to the original secret realm."
The Lord of Darkness said: "In addition, you can choose one of the two clones left in the original secret realm to break through to the domain master. Chaos has made arrangements, and you can execute according to the plan when the time comes."
"Are you going to attack the alien spy network?" Bai Ye was a little excited, and immediately said: "Then let Dugu Jian's clone break through. The 'sword art' used by Dugu Jian's clone is more powerful."
"It's up to you." The Lord of Darkness didn't care about this little thing: "It's just a plan at the moment, and it will take time to really close the net. It involves the game between ethnic groups, and it's normal to spend a long time to arrange it. You don't have to rush."
...
According to the arrangement of the Lord of Darkness, Bai Ye let Dugu Jian's clone 'break through' to the domain master and leave the original secret realm.
The location of the release was not Qianwu Universe Country, but a nearby universe country called 'Guhe' was chosen.
The confidentiality level of this information is very high, but if you study it carefully, you will find that there is actually a loophole that allows alien spies to obtain some information about Dugu Jian's clone at a huge cost.
The clone went to Guhe Universe to take office, but did not immediately arrange anything.
It takes a process for alien spies to gather intelligence, formulate assassination plans, and then actually implement them. They must be given enough time.
Put out the bait first. Whether a big fish will take the bait depends on the game between the two ethnic groups.
After Dugu Jian's clone left, the vacant original secret realm universe-level quota was obtained by Bolan in the qualifying battle not long after.
Bai Ye's Chonglou clone, Bolan, and an old man who had joined the Virtual Universe Company for thousands of years, the 'Werewolf' Krov, became the three 'Princes' of this generation of original secret realm universe-level.
As for Bai Ye's original body, he said goodbye to his family and rushed to Chaos City with thousands of puppet clones.
The environment of Chaos City can greatly improve the speed of comprehending the laws, which is of great help to the practice of laws.
However, it is only limited to the laws.
The rest of the practice system that has nothing to do with the laws, or the practice of forging, is better placed in the original universe because of the speed of time.
After communicating with the Lord of Darkness, Bai Ye decided to send this part of the clones to the Qianwu Secret Realm.
After all, the practice of forging requires frequent ordering of a large amount of materials, which is not so convenient in the strict rules of the original secret realm.
Moreover, the Qianwu Secret Realm is closer to the earth, and you can send a clone back at any time when you miss home.
…
“Teacher.”
In the Qianwu Lord Continent, Bai Ye’s clone came to the temple of Qianwu Lord to pay homage.
As a dead otaku, except for a trip hundreds of years ago to capture ‘Sarah’ for Bai Ye, Qianwu Lord would not leave his nest for billions of years, concentrating on cultivating the geniuses of Qianwu Secret Realm, hoping to cultivate more strong people and earn the contribution points of the tribe to repay the debt.
“You kid, you finally came to see the teacher after hundreds of years.”
The Qianwu Lord cursed, but a smile flashed in his eyes.
“Teacher, I brought a bottle of good wine for you.” Bai Ye flipped his hand and took out a crystal-clear wine bottle, which was filled with light blue liquid, and a trace of strange light flashed, which looked quite dreamy.
"Pure Spirit Thunder Spring Wine?" The eyes of the Lord of Qianwu State lit up: "You are willing to spend it! Such a bottle, I am afraid it will cost several million Hunyuan units?!"
"Three hundred billion military merits." Bai Ye grinned: "There is only one bottle in the military system, and it was exchanged by the disciples."
Although the military merits in the battlefield outside the domain cannot be directly exchanged for money, they can be directly linked to money through the various treasures exchanged.
Almost every 100,000 military merits is equal to one Hunyuan unit.
Three hundred billion military merits are three million Hunyuan units.
Just for this bottle of wine, the value is quite high.
Of course, Bai Ye's hundreds of clones have been fighting with aliens in the battlefield outside the domain for a long time. Under the authority opened by the Lord of Darkness for Bai Ye, the military merits of all clones can also be merged. Although this amount of points is large, it is not much for Bai Ye.
Over the years, Bai Ye has killed a lot of aliens, and the total number of immortals alone exceeds 100,000.
Even if the lowest ordinary immortal is equivalent to 100 million military merits, it is more than 10 trillion military merits.
Of course, Bai Ye earns a lot and spends a lot.
One by one, the clones join various teams. In order to improve the survival ability of the team, they jointly invest with their teammates to upgrade spacecraft, detectors, etc., and buy some powerful treasures for the clones to increase their combat power, all of which cost money.
If these military merits are concentrated together, it is enough to make a set of luxurious configurations that can be called immortal among the marquises.
But once hundreds of clones are scattered, they are actually not worth spending.
This is also why Bai Ye wants to study forging and refining by himself.
The more clones there are, the more money he spends. Just relying on buying, not to mention whether the high-end equipment production capacity within the human race can meet the requirements of Bai Ye's tens of thousands of clones, Bai Ye can't afford the cost alone.
Making it yourself can at least save a lot of costs.
...
Opening the bottle of wine, a mellow aroma comes out, and it also carries a very special breath that makes people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
Fine wines worth millions of Hunyuan units all have certain special effects.
For example, improving the perception of the law, such as letting the soul completely relax, removing fatigue, etc.
Even without considering these special effects, the "delicious" aspect of itself is the top enjoyment.
"It's really good wine!" When the Lord of Qianwu smelled the aroma, his eyes immediately lit up.
Bai Ye quickly poured a glass of wine and handed it to the Lord of Qianwu: "Teacher, please."
Then he poured himself a glass and drank with the Lord of Qianwu.
As soon as the wine entered the throat, a trace of lightning energy seeped out, with a slight numbness, but it was not uncomfortable, but made people feel extremely comfortable.
After swallowing it into the stomach, the wine evaporated instantly, as if a ball of fire exploded in the stomach, and the scorching breath made Bai Ye sweat all over his body.
After a while, Bai Ye opened his mouth and exhaled a flaming hot breath, sighing: "This wine is really good! Just this sip, I feel that my fatigue over the years is gone."
It's a pity that it's just a clone. If the original body drinks this wine, the effect will be better.
The greatest effect of this "Pure Spirit Thunder Spring Wine" is to wash away the fatigue of the body and soul.
Unfortunately, Bai Ye's puppet clone has no soul, so the most important function is not effective.
"Teacher, drink more. This disciple's clone has no soul. It's a waste to drink this good wine."
Bai Ye pushed the wine glass in front of the Lord of Qianwu.
"I will take advantage of you." The Lord of Qianwu was not polite. He poured wine by himself and chatted with Bai Ye casually: "I heard that your Dugujian clone went to the 'Guhe Universe Kingdom'?"
"Yes, the top management of Virtual Universe Company has some arrangements. The disciples cannot tell the details. The top management requires confidentiality." Bai Ye nodded.
For example, the identity of the 'Lord of Darkness', the 'bait plan' of Dugu Jian's clone, etc., some things have a very high confidentiality level, and even the Lord of Qianwu is not qualified to know.
The Lord of Darkness specifically ordered, and Bai Ye did not dare to disobey.
"Since it is to be kept secret, then don't say it." The Lord of Qianwu sighed: "At the beginning, I knew that your future achievements would be extraordinary, but now you are just a domain master, and what you have done has exceeded my imagination, and you even went to the battlefield outside the domain..."
...
Chaos City.
The place closest to the 'beginning of the universe'.
All the laws contained in the 'origin of the universe' are directly connected to the universe itself here, and the difficulty and threshold of perception are greatly reduced.
A more remote practice residence, Bai Ye stretched out his hand and put it on the door.
The induction system started, and after a moment it changed from white to dark gray.
Before Bai Ye left, the owner of this residence was Bai Ye.
Each room in the cultivation residence is very spacious and fully functional, but most of the practitioners who come to Chaos City will choose to watch the law patterns that continue to appear in the sky on the rooftop.
This is the most intuitive way to "see" the operation of all laws.
However, Bai Ye did not go to the rooftop to start practicing immediately, but just sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
He seemed to be in a daze, but in fact he was thinking about his future practice plan.
"My current practice system is very complex. There are at least dozens of large systems that I practice concurrently, and I need to sort them out carefully."
Bai Ye sorted out the inheritance, secret methods, etc. that he had practiced.
Law category, such as the law of time, the law of space, and the "Element Rule Book" in the Tal-Rasha inheritance, etc.
Technique category, such as kendo, swordsmanship, and forging, all belong to this category.
Supreme inheritance, there is only one kind of this category, which is Bai Ye's strongest trump card "Abyss" inheritance.
Occupation category, such as the warrior and spiritualist system of the Devouring Star World, or the warrior, mage and other professional systems of other worlds.
These overlap with the two major categories of laws and techniques to some extent, but there is no problem in considering them as two different major categories.
Next is the special inheritance of knowledge, and all "knowledge" that is not directly related to the above content can be included in it.
For example, "Rune Language", "Magic Mathematics", and even some scientific and technological knowledge in the universe.
