Chapter 679: The Captain's Soul
The department that Zong Yuan talked about cultivating beasts was actually the Cloud-Stepping Beast Breeding Base, which also included the breeding of some other beasts.
For example, the iron-backed wild boar, the black swamp buffalo, the purple-feathered rooster, and the black wolf.
Many of them are used for meat, and a few can be cultivated for combat power.
Strictly speaking, this is actually a breeding base, not a scientific research department at all, and there is no research on wild beasts.
"Why do you suddenly want to go there?"
Zong Yuan smiled and said: "The breeding technology in the shelter is still very backward, and it is completely inferior to what is taught in the academy. If I can bring advanced technology back, it will definitely be greatly improved."
"Moreover, the animals raised in the sanctuary mainly eat meat. Although there are also cloud-walking beasts and black wolves, the quantity and quality are relatively low."
"With the strength of our island in the middle of the lake, we can definitely expand our development and allow more beasts to become part of our combat power and apply it to various places in our lives."
Zong Yuan said it very seriously. He had obviously thought about it seriously and it was not a temporary idea at all.
After thinking for a while, Qi Yuan took the initiative to say out of concern: "The environment of the current breeding base is no different from that of a pig farm. Moreover, the level of scientific research inside is almost starting from scratch."
"I know all these situations and I am prepared."
Seeing what Zong Yuan said, Qi Yuan stopped trying to dissuade him. He nodded slightly and said, "It's a good idea. Then you can join the breeding base and be responsible for the domestication and cultivation of wild beasts. If you need it, you can come to me." ”
After thinking about it, he felt that Zong Yuan was indeed right.
With the conditions of the island in the middle of the lake, how many beasts do you have at your disposal? There are dozens of rare grade ones alone, and hundreds of thousands of them with excellent and good grades.
However, it has always been controlled by the Rhino King and Elephant King groups in order to prevent wild beasts from rioting.
But if it continues like this and is completely managed by the beasts without the intervention of human survivors, problems will arise.
The existence of Zong Yuan may be able to better solve this problem.
"Then it's decided, you all can go back. Wei Xi, you stay."
After Qi Yuan made simple arrangements, they left separately and rushed to their jobs.
A few minutes later.
Only Wei Xi and Qi Yuan were left in the cave, and the atmosphere became calmer.
Compared to the others, he is more familiar with Wei Xi and has more interactions with him, mainly as peers.
"Wei Xi, do you have any new research or discoveries about your abilities?"
Wei Xi sat down naturally, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "For now, the three directions of use of my ability are mainly to raise ghosts, raise totems, and enhance the strength of the soul body. They are still being explored. , and usually cooperate with the research institute to conduct research.”
Qi Yuan nodded, and while listening, he took out the tea set and tea from the dimensional ring, and made a cup for both of them.
"What changes happened after your master broke through to the perfection level?"
Hearing the word "master", Wei Xi's eyes darkened obviously.
Wei Xi's master is actually the perfect black shadow that reaches the sky. He was once the captain and master who led Wei Xi.
He is one of the closest people to Wei Xi in the misty world.
However, he died tragically without any resistance under the attack of the ghost ginseng, but in the end he kept his soul and became the first ghost that Wei Xi raised.
This has always been Wei Xi's problem, and he has also tried to restore the ghost's memory, but to no avail.
Although he was a little sad, Wei Xi still answered seriously: "The mind is indeed no longer as dead as before, and can show some human action patterns, but it has been silent for too long, and it seems that it cannot restore the previous memory."
"It's to be expected, don't feel too uncomfortable." Qi Yuan also consoled him.
Wei Xi smiled bitterly: "Well, it's been such a long time, so I don't insist anymore. The situation at that time was too special. It would be good to keep the soul body!"
"Then if you continue to raise a ghost now, will you be able to retain its original memory and thinking?"
When mentioning this issue, Wei Xi raised his eyes and said seriously: "If we cooperate with the institute's methods, we should be able to do it successfully, but after all, it will not be completely like human beings, and will have some habits of the soul."
Speaking of which, this is really helpless.
In fact, it is not completely impossible to retain the consciousness of the soul body.
Because when a creature just dies, its soul has not completely dissipated, and there is still a certain amount of thinking ability. If energy is supplied in time at this time and carefully preserved, the memory of life can be preserved.
But Master Wei Xi’s situation is special.
First of all, he was attacked by ghost ginseng, which directly injured his soul, and his body was almost scattered and swallowed.
Afterwards, Wei Xi fell into a coma and had no energy supply for his soul body for a long time, causing it to almost dissipate.
In the end, even when Wei Xi woke up, he spent a lot of time understanding his abilities. It took a full month before he started to truly raise ghosts.
By this time, his master's soul had long since lost any thinking ability and could only obey orders.
Even so, Wei Xi firmly regarded this soul as the first ghost he cultivated!
But with current technology, such accidents will no longer occur.
The institute has been studying this aspect for more than a year. Although it is not very proficient, it has gained a lot of understanding.
As long as the soul is extracted in time when the creature just dies, it can be preserved by special means.
Then let Wei Xi supply the soul energy, so that the soul's thinking can be maintained as much as possible, making the subsequent ghost raising process more convenient.
Because the soul without consciousness can only passively absorb energy; while the soul with consciousness not only has independent thinking, but can now actively absorb soul energy and improve its own strength.
The gap is not a little bit.
Wei Xi drank a sip of tea, hesitated for a moment and said: "I think the master's soul is not completely lost, but has been completely silent, and needs strong stimulation to wake up."
"There will be opportunities in the future, especially now that he has broken through to the perfect level, he can accompany you for a longer time."
Qi Yuan smiled and comforted.
The original worry was that his master's soul potential was too weak and it was very likely that he would not be able to break through the perfect level, so he could only be eliminated directly.
But now that he has successfully broken through, there is no worry in this regard.
"How's the totem?"
"The totem... it's about the same. The ant doesn't have much thinking and does whatever I tell it to do. But the special energy I converted doesn't have a good effect on the totem, and the efficiency is relatively low."
