The clones that were prepared for the retreat were not used to integrate the bone claws, but Ye Zan did not destroy these clones, but thought of using them to cultivate clones. After combining the external incarnation and the second spirit, two mainstream methods of avatar in this world, he successfully cultivated his first clone.
After the first clone opened its eyes, Ye Zan was able to see the clone that was still sitting in the dormant cabin through his own eyes, but he could also see himself in the eyes of the clone. This was a rather wonderful feeling, but Ye Zan just felt it for a moment, then turned back and started preparing to practice the second clone. He did not say anything to the first clone about "meeting Taoist friends".
Ye Zan's database contains many literary and artistic works from the world of science and technology, including many fairy tale novels from ancient China. In those fairy tale novels, many have written about the plot about the clone. Often after the protagonist has made the clone, there is a scene like "the two looked at each other, smiled, and said to each other: I have met a Taoist friend." It's really fun for me and myself to greet each other like this, but in fact it's really meaningless.
The main body and the clone are originally connected in mind. If you put it to the extreme, they know what to say and what to do without even opening their mouths. Therefore, at least for Ye Zan, as a pragmatist, he really has no interest in playing Taoist friends with the clone.
In fact, not only in the clone, because Ye Zan has an auxiliary chip in his brain, he can directly contact the artificial intelligence of various hosts. This is similar to the connection between the main body and the clone. Ye Zan has never issued his various orders through dialogue with artificial intelligence. Including the operation of the auxiliary chip, it obviously only requires a thought in the mind, so why do you need to talk back and forth with the auxiliary chip
Of course, Ye Zan can still understand the various quarrels between the protagonist and the so-called system elf in some system-oriented literary and artistic works. After all, it is a novel, and the reader needs to know some system-related settings and what the protagonist wants to do through some dialogue. Otherwise, everything will be solved at the first thought, and readers may find it baffling.
In short, Ye Zan only cares about what the clone can do, and has no interest in using the clone to relieve his boredom, so he doesn't bother to play "meeting Taoist friends" at all.
Besides, the first clone, although it did not have any communication with Ye Zan on the surface, it had already received orders through mind-to-mind communication. When Ye Zan was preparing to practice the second clone, the first clone got up and came out of recuperation, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
Ye Zan's first clone, although due to the characteristics of the clone, has the same realm of soul as the original body, his strength at this time is still too weak compared to the real realm of soul. After all, his "primordial spirit" is a very small part of the original deity, which means he has no realm but no cultivation. Moreover, even the realm is illusory. Knowing many of the methods in the realm does not mean that you can use them.
In addition, there is another point that is incomparable between the clone and the original body, that is, the clone does not have the magic weapon of the original life to change everything as desired. Although Ye Zana can change as he wishes and can be divided into countless parts, it is still a magic weapon in essence. At most, it can be lent to the clone. But if you lend some of it, less will not work, and if you lend more, it will harm the body, so it is better not to borrow at all.
Fortunately, Ye Zan's side has no shortage of other magic weapons besides the wishful thinking. Moreover, with the convenience of Qinghong Daojun, Ye Zan will also have the opportunity to obtain new monarch-level evil beads in the future. Maybe, these clones can have a chance to have a complete Ruyi Variety.
Therefore, after receiving Ye Zan's order, the first clone did not waste time in the laboratory, but found a quiet room to start practicing after going out.
After the first clone left the laboratory, Ye Zan also started the training of the second clone, using the same method as before to create a distraction and escape into the second clone. Looking at the second clone, it was the same as the first clone. After undergoing the transformation contained in the distraction, he opened his eyes and sat up from the dormant cabin.
This time, Ye Zan didn't even bother to waste time feeling the feeling of "see for yourself". He only checked the physical condition of the clone through the contact with the clone, and then sent it out to find a quiet room to practice on its own just like the first clone.
Ye Zan had prepared a way out for himself, preparing a total of five clones, and soon all of them were transformed into clones. However, even though he only had a very small part of his soul in each clone. However, after the training of all five clones was completed, his original spirit still became weak unsurprisingly.
The clone method used by Ye Zan to cultivate is not a method of external incarnation or second soul, but a combination of the two. This leads to the fact that he cannot really divide as much distraction as he wants, but needs to ensure a limit. If it is lower than that limit, the divided mind will be unable to meet the needs of the second soul, and it will become a pure incarnation outside the body.
Therefore, although in terms of distraction, Ye Zan has gone through a lot of computational simulations and has compressed it to a limit. However, such continuous training of five clones would inevitably be a bit too much for Ye Zan's original soul. If he cultivates one more clone, Ye Zan's original soul may suffer irreparable wounds.
Fortunately, Ye Zan also had the Tiangang Divine Pill that he had refined before.
This Tiangang Divine Refining Pill not only can temper the soul, but also has the effect of nourishing and repairing the soul. This is also the reason why Ye Zan dared to make five clones in a row for the first time when he practiced the method of clones.
After letting the five clones go out to practice individually, Ye Zan also took out the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it like eating jelly beans. Speaking of which, he, who has refined three batches of Tiangang Divine Pill, has only taken it for the first time now. It’s really...
As for Ye Zan's soul, after it was divided into five distractions, its original solid appearance became a bit illusory. It sat cross-legged on the green leaf lotus platform and suspended above the sea of consciousness. After the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill entered the abdomen, the power of the medicine instantly merged into the sea of consciousness where the soul existed, dyeing the boundless sea of consciousness into gold, and making the sea of consciousness rise with dense aura.
Look at Ye Zan's soul again, sitting on the green leaf lotus platform and pinching the magic formula with his hands, attracting the dense energy to come from all directions and pouring into the body of the soul. The Yuan Shen Body, which was originally slightly illusory, became solid again little by little after receiving the medicinal power of Tiangang's Divine Refining Pill.
In fact, Ye Zan's five distractions were not just because he wanted more helpers, nor did he have the idea of "a cunning rabbit with three holes". The real reason, apart from having more helpers and allowing them to test the cultivation method of divine substances, is more importantly because of Tiangang's refining of the divine elixir.
You must know that although the Tiangang Refining Pill is extremely effective, the number of times a person can take it is limited, and the effectiveness of the pill will decrease with the number of times it is taken. For example, Ye Zan might have taken six Tiangang Divine Refining Pills, but taking more would be useless. Now, Ye Zan has divided his five distractions and refined five clones. The clones are relatively independent existences, and their resistance to pills is naturally independent.
Among the five clones, by taking the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill and practicing their own cultivation, each of the five clones becomes stronger, which is equivalent to Ye Zan's soul getting stronger by one point. If the distractions can reach the level of the main body, when Ye Zan takes back these distractions, it will be equivalent to strengthening his soul five times. Although the five times enhancement may be a bit exaggerated, and it is almost impossible to achieve it, but even if it is only doubled, it is definitely an incredible gain.
After all, Ye Zan's current cultivation level has reached the limit of the Yuan Shen realm purely in terms of Yuan Shen. Although he has not yet reached the peak of the Soul Realm, what he lacks is only the accumulation of mana and the polishing of his own path. However, the accumulation of mana and the polishing of his own path are not things that can be achieved overnight. The enhancement of his soul has naturally become an important choice for him to quickly improve his strength.
Moreover, after the soul is strengthened, it will also play a considerable role in promoting the accumulation of mana and polishing one's own path.
Of course, there is another prerequisite for Ye Zan's plan, which is to have enough Tiangang refining pills on hand. The third batch of Tiangang Divine Refining Pills he had previously refined had been distributed except for a few that he kept in his hand. And the few Tiangang Divine Refining Pills he had in his hand were only enough to nourish and repair his own soul. Therefore, he still had to refine the elixirs needed for the five clones again.
However, when Ye Zan was refining the third batch of Tiangang Refining Pills, he had already used up all the herbs on his hands and had to collect enough herbs. As a result, Mo Ru and Wu Changsheng soon received a summons from Ye Zan, requesting to purchase various herbs needed for Tiangang to refine the divine elixir.
Today's Yuqing Sect, although only the Yuanshen Realm is in charge, its status in the Shenhua Realm is already extraordinary, and more importantly, it is "not short of money." In addition, the Yuqing Sect also has its own allies. The Tianbao Sect is a business sect, and the Moyi Sect is in charge of one realm. It is really not difficult to collect those herbs.
Ye Zan left the matter of collecting herbs to Mo Rushen and the others, while he continued to retreat to repair his soul. Although Ye Zan himself needed to retreat to repair his soul, those clones did not have the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill available. After practicing in seclusion for more than ten days, they came out one after another and started busy with other things.
Since these clones are Ye Zan's clones, they naturally know what is to be done next in Ye Zan's original plan.
As a result, the first clone began to study divine substances, and tried to carry out experimental cultivation according to the discovered cultivation methods. The second clone was to study the weird things that Ye Zan brought, such as extracting beast genes from those bone tools, and studying some rules and principles of bone tools.
The third clone mainly studies the teleportation circle, including the information obtained from Ye Ping'an, as well as the miniature teleportation circle in the secret vault of the Moyi Cult. The fourth clone ran to Tiandao Mountain and asked Lord Qinghong for help, preparing to hunt for the monarch-level evil beads in preparation for refining a new Ruyi Baibian.
The fifth clone temporarily replaced Ye Zan in the war fortress, controlling various affairs in the fortress and coaxing the children.
Let's talk about the fourth clone, after saying hello to Qinghong Daojun, it passed through the teleportation array at Yuquan Peak and arrived in the black prison of Tiandao Mountain in a blink of an eye.
Outside the teleportation circle in the black prison, Qinghong Daojun, who had received the news, had already been standing outside. Seeing Ye Zan's figure revealed on the teleportation circle, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, this is … Huh!"
Qinghong Daojun could tell at a glance that Ye Zan's soul in this teleportation circle was obviously very weak, and a look of worry suddenly appeared on his face.
"I've met Taoist brother, thank you for greeting me, Taoist brother!" Ye Zan walked down from the teleportation circle and came to Qinghong Taoist Lord and said with cupped hands.
However, Daojun Qinghong didn't care to return the gift, and asked with a very serious face: "Xian brother, I see you are like this, could it be that you have practiced the method of clone?"
Qinghong Daojun knew very well that Ye Zan's current behavior was definitely not due to being in danger or being injured, otherwise he would have received the news a long time ago. So, when nothing happened, the soul suddenly became so weak, then there was only one reason.
"Brother Taoist guessed it right, this is exactly one of my clones." Ye Zan said to Taoist Qinghong with a smile.
Hearing that Ye Zan confirmed his guess, Qinghong Daojun suddenly looked sad, pointed at Ye Zan and said: "Brother Xian, you are so... confused! With your qualifications, the road is open, why bother to go This is a crooked way! If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you only need to summon Brother Wei, how can Brother Wei refuse?"
Obviously, in Qinghong Daojun's view, the reason why Ye Zan practiced the clone method was simply to improve his strength in a short period of time. And this made Qinghong Daojun confused. With the current good situation of Yuqing Sect, what kind of trouble could there be, requiring Ye Zan to be so eager to improve his strength.
You must know that although the current Yuqing Sect's own strength is slightly inferior, its allies are stronger than each other. Moreover, due to the teleportation circle, these allies, even if they are hundreds of millions of miles apart, or even not in the same domain, can rush to the Yuqing Sect to support them immediately when something happens to the Yuqing Sect.
It can be said that relying on the strength of these allies and the connection of the teleportation circle, no force can shake the Yuqing Sect. What's more, the strength of the Yuqing Sect itself cannot be said to be that bad. Not to mention there are many Yuan Shen realms, and Ye Zan still holds the war fortress in his hands. Moreover, not just anyone can break into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation at Tongtian Peak, which is enough to ensure the safety of Yuqing Sect.
