Ye Zan's clone returned to Yuqing Sect and did not do anything else. He went straight back to the war fortress and gave the monarch-level evil bead to other clones. Although these clones now have their own "functions", they are not so busy that they don't even have time to refine treasures. Moreover, artificial intelligence is basically responsible for most of the things that the several clones are responsible for, which is actually quite leisurely.
Several clones are refining treasures respectively, but Ye Zan himself is in seclusion, recovering bit by bit the loss of soul caused by the clone method.
You must know that this method of cultivating clones separates not only the power of the soul, but also Ye Zan's soul or self-will. Otherwise, the pure power of the soul is just a kind of energy, and it is not enough to allow the clone to have its own will.
It is not difficult to replenish the lost power of the soul, but the difficulty lies in the recovery of the soul. The Tiangang Divine Refining Pill is very effective in restoring the soul. However, it is easy for Ye Zan to refine it, but it is not easy to collect the herbs. After all, Dharma-level elixirs are made from precious materials and treasures, and they cannot be like the cabbage on the roadside.
Therefore, even before Ye Zan went into seclusion, he had asked Mo Rushi and others from the Yuqing Sect to help collect various herbs needed for Tiangang to refine the magic pill. However, Ye Zan has gone through three furnaces before and after, and has basically used up all the rare herbs on the market that are uniquely needed.
Of course, today's Yuqing Sect is both an ally and a partner. Herbal medicines that cannot be found on the market may not really be found anywhere.
However, that takes time, and at the same time, the interests of allies and partners need to be considered. Ye Zan cannot just think about himself. Tian Gang's divine elixir is not only useful to Ye Zan alone, but also has an irresistible effect on powerful people above the Dharma Realm.
To put it bluntly, Ye Zan relied on his allies and partners to gather together the herbs needed for a batch of elixirs. When he refines the elixir, he won't be able to keep it all for himself. He will need to distribute more than half of it to his allies and partners.
Although it is said that this elixir is "drug-resistant", besides the main body, Ye Zan doesn't care about the five clones. If the main soul is divided into distractions, there will be losses that need to be recovered, so wouldn’t the distractions separated from the main soul suffer greater losses than the main soul.
Fortunately, in addition to pills, Ye Zan also has a method that also has a very good effect on the cultivation and recovery of the soul and distraction.
I think back then, in order to advance to the Yuanshen Realm, Ye Zan forcibly merged two secret realms. Although he finally grew and advanced, it consumed a lot of "mental energy". This "mind power" is the "god" in the so-called "spirit, energy and spirit". To put it bluntly, it is the power of the soul, or the power of a spiritual will.
After that, Ye Zan was reminded by Xuanyuan Daozu, and found the spiritual power that could supplement this "mental power" in the virtual god world that he had always thought was just an illusory data world, and was able to survive that disaster, which was not a disaster. . Moreover, after that, in order to gain more spiritual power, he pushed the Virtual God Realm into the secular world, so that the so-called "secular mortals" could also enter the Virtual God Realm game.
One more thing to mention here is that although the strength of the ascetics can be said to be far superior to that of ordinary mortals. But in the False God Realm, the spiritual power provided by ascetics is not much more than that of ordinary mortals. After all, the spiritual power in the Virtual God Realm is just a trace amount of energy escaping from the will of the "game players". Even more, because cultivators focus on the cultivation of the soul, the higher the realm of the cultivator, the less spiritual power they can provide.
In fact, after Ye Zan recovered his "mental power", he shared it with Mo Rushi and Qi Qianjun. Master Mo Rusi and Qi Qianjun, both masters and disciples, have been borrowing the spiritual power from the Void God Realm during this period to cultivate and strengthen their respective souls and souls. It is precisely because of this that the master and disciple's cultivation has grown rapidly, and they are no longer what they were just after they entered the Yuanshen Realm.
This time, Ye Zan practiced the method of clone, and when he encountered difficulties in obtaining the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, he naturally did not forget this use of the Virtual God Realm.
After Ye Zan discovered the spiritual power of the Virtual God Realm, he began to push the Virtual God Realm into the secular world, and it has been quite a while now. At this time, in the Shenhua Realm, the wealthy nobles from various countries, except for some old people with backward ideas, and the younger generation all regard the Virtual God Realm as an excellent entertainment tool. The influx of a large number of "game players" naturally brought Ye Zan spiritual power far beyond what he had before.
Therefore, when it was difficult to obtain the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, the Virtual God Realm became another good choice for Ye Zan. Although, in terms of efficiency, the spiritual power provided by the Virtual God Realm is not as efficient as the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, it is better than the long flow of water and is effortless. Moreover, this thing does not have "drug resistance". It is not like elixirs that lose their effect after being taken a few times. In theory, you can always get benefits.
Ye Zan's retreat this time was mainly to restore his original soul. Since Tiangang's refining pill has not yet been found, the Virtual God Realm naturally became the only and best choice.
Speaking of which, although Ye Zan pushed the False God Realm to the secular world, he separated the area of activity for secular mortals from the area of activity for ascetics.
After all, ascetics do it to experience in the virtual god world, while secular mortals mostly do it for entertainment. If you let secular mortals mix with ascetics, you will inevitably provoke the ascetics, and you may be mistreated. In particular, in front of the ascetics, secular mortals are of no use even if they spend money. Since it is for entertainment, no one wants to be abused, and if you are abused and can't find your place, then you can only retreat.
Ye Zan hopes that there can be more "game players" in the Virtual God Realm, so that they can have more spiritual strength. Naturally, he does not want to see anyone being "persuaded". Therefore, he has opened two game worlds, one is the virtual god world of monks, and the other is the game world of secular mortals.
In the retreat place in the Virtual God Realm, Ye Zan chose the game world where mortals live. In addition to attracting spiritual power to restore the soul, he also wanted to understand the situation in this game world. Although the Virtual God Realm is divided into two game worlds, the escaped spiritual power has not been separated because of this, so he does not have to switch servers back and forth.
The reason why Ye Zan wants to understand the game world is that he also hopes to find some ways to attract more people to enter the game world. After all, in addition to his true self, he has five clones, and they also need to use this spiritual power to strengthen their respective clones. To grow those five clones to the point where they can be comparable to the original body, the mental power required is quite terrifying.
The game world of secular mortal games is still called the Virtual God World to the outside world, but Ye Zan is still used to just calling it the game world. Unlike the real virtual world, this game world focuses more on satisfying the curiosity and enjoyment of secular mortals.
Of course, in this game world, there is also a system for defeating monsters and upgrading, but in addition to secular martial arts, there are also skills in the game itself. In other words, even a person with no physical strength can still possess powerful force as long as he learns those skills in the game. However, their martial arts are obtained from the game, and they will remain the same without the game, and they cannot bring their skills into reality.
There are rules in the monastic world, which emphasize that "the Dharma is not taught lightly", and no one can pass the Dharma to others at will. On the one hand, they are worried that the inhuman things they preach may easily cause trouble for themselves or their sect. On the other hand, the environment for cultivating is not good. One more cultivator means one more competitor.
Although Ye Zan has always had his own opinions, he will not violate the unspoken rules of the cultivation world, and he does not think there is anything wrong with this unspoken rule. In his opinion, restricting secular mortals' control of the power of cultivation is actually like restricting firearms in the technological world. Some things really cannot be fair.
Otherwise, everyone has the ability to kill, and they will "kill people in anger" at every turn. How can this human race continue? Don't think too highly of human nature. Who hasn't had the thought of killing someone in anger? If you don’t have that ability, you’ll be done with it after being angry for a while, and it won’t be a big deal if you think about it afterwards. But if you have that ability, you may not be able to control your anger at the time. You will regret it when you really kill someone, but it will no longer help.
This is also the reason why Ye Zan popularized high-tech products such as communication networks and rail trains in the secular world, but did not bring firearms to the secular world. He knows very well that the technological content of firearms is really not high. Once people in this world learn to use it, there is no telling what consequences it will cause, and it is not impossible that the world will be in chaos.
It doesn't matter if the world is in chaos, the key point is that Ye Zan doesn't want to bear the blame, and doesn't want to be the source of this disaster. If, among ordinary mortals, someone came up with something like a firearm, Ye Zan would not go out of his way to control or stop it. It would be the result of natural development. The natural development of thermal weapons such as firearms is a choice for the development of this world, or it is determined by the will of this world. What does it have to do with Ye Zan
All in all, Ye Zan does not allow mortals to learn any Taoism in the game world. However, apart from Taoism being a taboo, ordinary mortals can learn some other things in the game world. For example, martial arts and other secular skills that are still within the scope of secular power can be learned and improved through practice.
Of course, those who come from rich and aristocratic families may pursue more novel enjoyment and satisfy some personal vanity in the game world. In the game world, Ye Zan got those fashion titles and other things, which made him very popular among the rich and nobles, and they even paid a lot of real money.
"It seems that it needs to be upgraded again, otherwise these people will not pursue it." After seeing the situation in the game world, Ye Zan couldn't help but have the idea of upgrading the game world.
In fact, for many online games, they need to be constantly upgraded and updated, so that people will not lose their pursuit after reaching a certain level. In an online game, the most simple and direct way to show a person's "level" is nothing more than level and equipment.
Nowadays, this game world has been open for a long time, many people in it have reached the full level, and there are also a lot of people wearing divine armor. In this case, even if those people still insist on coming around every day, they definitely don't have to work as hard as they did in the beginning, and they don't need to hire more people to help.
As long as Ye Zan upgrades the game world, it will not only make many top figures motivated, but also allow them to attract more people into the game.
As for how to upgrade, Ye Zan doesn't have any trouble. He can just find some templates from many online games in the technology world, and then let the artificial intelligence of the game console slightly modify them.
Soon, announcements of updates and upgrades appeared in the game world, and the upgrade contents were announced. The basic update, as mentioned before, increases the level limit, adds skills of various corresponding levels, and opens dungeons and equipment of related levels.
At the same time, in order to increase the number of players in the game, Ye Zan will also add a city capture battle that requires more people to participate in the next update. You must know that in addition to the excitement of fighting in a battle to capture a city, there are also attractive benefits after capturing the city. Not to mention anything else, just the title of a city lord is probably enough for the rich and noble children to fight for it.
Those wealthy nobles, who wanted to make achievements in the city-capturing war, would definitely start a wave of recruiting people into the game. Originally, they only brought their own servants into the game, so that those servants could serve them in the game and help them with the upgrade dungeons. But now, facing the temptation of the city-capturing war, it might not be enough for them to rely on their servants alone, and they had to expand the scope of recruitment.
Ye Zan will not care about how those people recruit people, or where they recruit people from, even if they bring in the army, it doesn't matter. Anyway, what he needs now is to have more game players in this game to provide him with more spiritual strength.
In fact, from a certain perspective, Ye Zan's creation of this game world can be regarded as solving some social problems for the secular world. For example, those wealthy nobles want to recruit people, which solves the work problem of some unemployed vagrants. In addition, those children of wealthy nobles spend a lot of time playing games and have no time to bully men and women outside. Some people will also resolve their grievances in the game world, but no one will actually die anyway.
