After returning to the inn, Ye Zan didn't go out for several days, focusing entirely on the training of the Zerg.
In Ye Zan's different-dimensional space, the huge gene bank contains genetic samples of many interstellar creatures in the technological world. Among them, there are many genes of forbidden species purchased through the dark web. These genetic samples will save the Zerg a lot of time in learning to evolve.
The mother queen larvae cultivated using Zerg genes have been placed in the space of the strange stone outside the territory. Under the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, the time flow rate in the strange stone space reaches a ratio of ten to one, which will greatly accelerate the growth of the Queen Mother.
Of course, this strange stone alone cannot be regarded as a true insect nest. After all, this is just a space, a place for the Zerg to live, and it still lacks many functions that a Zerg nest should have. For example, in a real insect nest, injured Gu insects can be treated, the activities of the Gu insects can be controlled, the strength of the Gu insects can be enhanced, etc.
Therefore, during this period of time, Ye Zan was also asking the mastermind in the different dimension space to analyze the refining method of the insect nest. Then design around the strange stones and find a plan to refine the strange stones into an insect nest.
The Zerg Mother Queen itself grew very quickly, and with the acceleration of the strange stone space and the sufficient supply of nutrients, she quickly passed the infancy stage and reached the growth stage. The growth stage is far from the maturity stage, and it takes a long time. Even if there is time to accelerate, it cannot be achieved in a year and a half.
However, even in the growth stage, the Queen Mother has already acquired the ability to lay eggs and begins to create bodyguards for herself. Perhaps due to the influence of spiritual energy, although the insect soldiers hatched from these insect eggs do not yet have the inner elixir of monster beasts, their carapace has been greatly strengthened.
Of course, this first generation of insect soldiers only poses some threat to mortals in this world. If there were not a large enough number, they might not even be able to defeat the practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm.
In terms of gene fusion, the Zerg still adopts a passive evolution method. Only when there is a situation that threatens the survival of the Zerg, will the next generation evolve characteristics to resist the threat. Therefore, in a natural state, the Zerg race may also be said to be strong when encountering strong forces and weak when encountering weak forces.
Such insect soldiers were certainly not what Ye Zan wanted, so he put in a mechanism puppet and quickly cleared out all the first generation insect soldiers. After receiving the feedback, the Queen Mother immediately targeted the machine puppets and produced second-generation insect soldiers with improved strength, but they were quickly eliminated again.
Speaking of raising voodoos, a very common and well-known way to select voodoos is to put some voodoos in a container and let them fight and devour each other. The Gu insect that survives in the end is often the most powerful and will be cultivated as a Gu insect.
Of course, there will be surprises. For example, some insects may not be strong, but they have the ability to survive in the cracks. Therefore, the insect that survives in the end may not have much strength at all, but can just hide itself. In fact, no one would want to refine such a bug into a Gu bug. They can only eliminate it and choose a new Gu bug.
And Ye Zan's method is somewhat similar to this way of selecting Gu. However, he was making choices for the Zerg Queen, allowing the Zerg Queen to continuously optimize the genes of the insect soldiers and produce more powerful insect soldiers after the insect soldiers were killed again and again.
When the machine puppet is dismembered by the insect soldiers, Ye Zan will also put in stronger machine puppets to continue this process of stimulating evolution.
However, don't expect to cultivate invincible insect soldiers this way, after all, the opponents are too single. Moreover, the strength of the machine puppets is actually not that powerful. Even the bronze terracotta warriors are only at the foundation level.
Therefore, if you want to really grow the insect soldiers to the point where they can become Ye Zan's helpers, you still need some real battles to promote their evolution. The current approach is only to allow the insect soldiers to initially evolve, so that they will not be wiped out as soon as they appear on the scene.
Ye Zan stayed at home in the inn, and Qi Qianjun came with him as a bodyguard, so naturally he would not leave Ye Zan for even a step. On the other hand, Liu Qian has been quite busy these days, running around with his two disciples all day long, participating in various exchange meetings with colleagues, and gradually gaining a little fame.
But on this day, after Ye Zan replaced the Zerg in the strange stone space with a new machine puppet opponent, he heard a quarrel coming from outside, and one of the sounds came from Liu Qian.
Ye Zan curiously walked out of the room and saw that in the lobby of the inn, it was Liu Qian and his two disciples who were arguing with a few people with red faces.
Ye Zan walked down the stairs, came to Liu Gan, and asked, "Elder Liu, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry, Elder Ye, I just met a few acquaintances and talked about old things." Liu Qian said about the acquaintances, but his eyes when looking at those people were still full of anger and resentment.
"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, you said that you, a little alchemy master, actually turned into an elder! But it's no wonder that with your level, you can find an elder's position in an inferior sect." A man in his thirties or forties opposite heard Ye Zan calling Liu Qian an elder, and immediately said with ridicule.
Ye Zan glanced at the other party and said lightly: "Oh, from what you said, you are Elder Liu's junior brother. If our Yuqing Sect is not a popular sect, then I don't know which sect or sect you are a big shot in. Say it and let others know.”
Jade Qingzong
The man and the people around him were stunned for a moment, as if they were thinking about the origin of Yu Qingzong. However, after mentally checking all the first- and second-rate sects they knew, they couldn't find any Yuqing Sect.
Indeed, Yu Qingzong's reputation is still too small. Even though they have developed a thousand-mile sound transmission method, it is still millions of miles away. In places like the Southern Territory, very few people know about the Yuqing Sect. After all, the various sects and sects building the communication network here would not go out of their way to explain to others that this technology all came from the Yuqing Sect.
The person next to that man seemed to be his disciple, and said with a proud face: "My master is the elder in charge of the Lishan Sect's Alchemy Hall."
Just like the other party didn't know about Yu Qing Sect, Ye Zan also looked confused when he heard about this Li Shan Sect. Just looking at the awesome look on the other person's face, it seems that the Lishan Sect is also pretty awesome.
"Old Liu, I haven't heard that there is a sect called Lishan Sect among the top sects in the Southern Territory. Is it some hidden top sect?" Ye Zan turned to Liu Qian and asked.
However, Liu Qian showed a sneer on his face and said disdainfully: "It's normal that Elder Ye has never heard of it. This Lishan Sect is just a small third-rate sect in the Southern Region."
A third-rate sect is called a third-rate sect, but the word "little" is added in front of it. When the people across from him heard this, they immediately became angry.
Liu Gan's junior brother said in a deep voice: "Liu Gan, you are so brave, you dare to insult our Lishan Sect. Don't think that we, the Lishan Sect, can't do anything to you even though you are thousands of miles away." For the sake of being a fellow student, I only need to send a letter to the Jade Qing Sect to make it impossible for you, the elder, to continue, believe it or not!"
"I don't believe it." Ye Zan answered immediately.
"..." Liu Qian's junior brother turned his attention to Ye Zan and said coldly after a moment: "You are just an elder of the Yuqing Sect. I advise you not to cause trouble to your Yuqing Sect."
Ye Zan was actually quite surprised that the other party had decided that the Yuqing Sect was an inferior sect. You know, even third-rate sects are often only famous in a small area. For example, Ye Zan has never heard of the Lishan Sect. Even for a second-rate sect, it is impossible for everyone to know it. Maybe it is not well-known millions of miles away, and no one has heard of it millions of miles away.
But at this moment, a man came in from the outside and shouted as soon as he came in: "Yu Qing Sect? I don't know who is a fellow Taoist of Yu Qing Sect!"
One sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention. I saw this man walking into the inn, wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with a tripod that transformed into a cloud pattern embroidered on the cuffs. Looking at this sign, the identity of the other party was immediately revealed. He was a practitioner from the Alchemy Sect.
The Alchemy Sect is a truly first-class sect, and it is also one of the organizers of this Alchemy Conference. You must know that the founder of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect is one of the two great Alchemy Sages in the world, and his status is not inferior to that of Tongtian Supreme.
"I, Ye Zan of the Yuqing Sect, have met this fellow Taoist from the Alchemy Sect." Ye Zan saluted and said.
In fact, when he was in Tiandao Mountain, Ye Zan came into contact with some disciples of the Alchemy Sect and participated in some exchanges and discussions on Alchemy. However, since he did not put forward any amazing alchemy theory like that time during the talisman exchange, his relationship with several Alchemy Sect disciples was only average.
"It turns out that you are Elder Ye of the Yuqing Sect." The Danding Sect member came over immediately, with a hint of joy in his tone.
Not to mention Liu Gan's junior brother, even Ye Zan himself was a little strange. After all, he didn't seem to have many acquaintances in the Alchemy Sect.
"My sect's True Lord Hushan once communicated with my master using a thousand-mile sound transmission method. My master ordered me to wait for some Taoist friends at the city gate. Unexpectedly, several Taoist friends had already entered the city. It's really a good thing for me. Wait." The Danding Sect member said with a smile, without much intention of blaming him.
After hearing this, Ye Zan and others realized that it was Mo Rushi's relationship. However, Mo Ru didn't know that Ye Zan and others improved their mounts midway and arrived at the ancient city much earlier than expected, leaving the Alchemy Sect man waiting in vain.
"So that's it. Due to some reasons, I arrived here earlier than expected. I really feel sorry for you, fellow Taoist." Ye Zan said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I can see a few Taoist friends, and I can return to my master." The man said, looked around, and then said: "A few Taoist friends are guests from afar, how can they stay here?" Where is this place? My master has asked us to arrange accommodation for several fellow Taoists, so why don’t you just go with me.”
When Liu Qian's junior brother heard this, he didn't know whether to leave or not. He stood there feeling quite embarrassed. Not to mention the attitude of the Danding Sect towards Ye Zan and others, the key thing is that he also heard the other party mention "True Lord Hushan". You must know that only the powerful soul can be called the true king, so this Yuqingzong is obviously not an inferior sect as he thought, and his face suddenly became a little hot. (To be continued.)
