After some distribution, all the things given to others, not to mention those close to them, or those not so close, it was finally Ye Zan’s turn. As I said before, Ye Zan is not a saint, so how could he not be "selfish" at all in his heart, and how could he forget himself.
In fact, from the perspective of "selfishness", Ye Zan's distribution of things to everyone can also be said to be a manifestation of selfishness.
For Ye Zan, Ye Ping'an's strength is stronger, which means that Yuqing Sect is safer and he has less worries. As the Lin family siblings become stronger, they can contribute more to his war fortress. The strength of Yuqingzong's top and bottom members has increased, which has greatly improved the overall strength of Yuqingzong and also shared the pressure on him.
Of course, what's more important is that the things Ye Zan distributed were things he himself didn't need in the first place. He doesn't need dragon beads to comprehend anything, he doesn't need dragon eyes to enhance his Tao realm, and he doesn't need the best magic weapons or materials for refining magic weapons. Therefore, if he keeps those things in his hands, he will have almost no other use except waiting for possible trading opportunities.
However, Ye Zan didn't need everything. The things he didn't need were distributed to others, and what he left behind naturally had his own needs.
First, Ye Zan took sixteen ribs from the dragon carcass, sacrificed them and placed them in the war fortress. Again, this dragon skeleton is very huge, so the ribs are not the ribs that people usually eat. It can be said that each dragon rib can definitely be called a pillar relative to the height of a normal person. However, due to physiological reasons, these "pillars" are not straight, but have curves like scimitars.
Sixteen dragon ribs were arranged into a formation by Ye Zan in this war fortress, and were hidden in many buildings. In other words, if someone suddenly invaded the fortress, it would be impossible to find these sixteen dragon ribs without a lot of effort.
The formation arranged by the dragon's ribs is not a formation used to resist damage, at least its main ability is not there. Since it is aimed at intruders, the main function of the formation is to confuse and encircle it, which can provide some convenience for Ye Zan's side.
Ye Zan is not a master of formations, but he has mastered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, and with some knowledge of formations, it is not too difficult to set up such an formation.
If he really faced that kind of powerful formation, Ye Zan's formation might just be a joke. However, for those who do not study the formation deeply, this formation can still play a certain role.
In fact, in Ye Zan's mind, it is still not enough to use a heaven-level dragon skeleton on a war fortress. After all, in this world, the most powerful one today is the Tongtian Supreme. It is really difficult for a few ribs of a Tongtian-level dragon skeleton to function at this level.
Ye Zan really hopes to get the dragon bones of the True Immortal level or even higher level, so that the fortress defense created in that way can really make people feel at ease. Unfortunately, he could only think about it, and it was almost impossible to realize this idea. Heaven-level dragon skeletons are already so precious. If there were a higher-level dragon skeleton, it would be impossible for him to get his turn.
In addition to setting up the formation with dragon ribs, Ye Zan also took some dragon scales, sacrificed them and placed them on the outside of the fortress. Although it is impossible for him to use dragon scales to cover the entire war fortress, he can also achieve the purpose of enhancing defense by making some floating and moving defensive shield walls. After all, in many cases, the enemy may not necessarily put the entire fortress under attack.
Of course, just dragon scales and keel bones cannot be truly indestructible in terms of defense. Back then, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, the Yuqing Sect fought against the Dragon Clan, and also injured many Heaven-level Dragon Clan powerful men. Those dragon scales would still be broken by people when they were on the dragon clan, let alone such a dead thing without any attachment.
Therefore, not only Ye Zan, but also other people who have obtained the dragon scales, if they want to use the dragon scales to refine any protective magic weapon, they also need to add other heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Only by combining other materials to enhance some of the advantages of the dragon scales and make up for some of the shortcomings of the dragon scales can a sufficiently good protective magic weapon be refined.
When Ye Zan processed these dragon scales, he first went through detailed testing and analysis, and then used a lot of calculations and simulations to find the most suitable formula. The most suitable one does not mean the strongest or the sturdiest, but it should be called the most "cost-effective", which is the so-called "good but not expensive".
After all, even if Ye Zan is quite wealthy, there are some things that cannot be bought with money, or that can only be bought at a high price. However, if Tongtian Supreme really came to attack the war fortress, he would not be able to stop the opponent with just these few dragon scales. Therefore, he simply did not pursue the strongest. Anyway, no matter how strong he was, he could not exceed the level of Tongtian, so it was enough to take the middle road.
Basically, the effect of dragon bones on strengthening the war fortress can be said to be quite limited. After all, no matter how precious something is, it still depends on where it is used, so there is a saying that "good steel is used on the blade." However, this is not considered a waste by Ye Zan. Instead of piling those things in the warehouse, they can be used on the war fortress, which can be regarded as playing a role.
After that, it’s time for Ye Zan to think about himself. He can’t put all his eggs in one basket, and only his own strength is the most reliable.
However, considering Ye Zan's own situation, this dragon skeleton is really not of much use. He had a thorough understanding of the dragon's body through all the previous events. Not only did he dissect dragon bones and understand the dragon's body structure, he even conducted in-depth research on the dragon's bloodline while helping Shi Lin.
So, how does simply understanding these help your own strength? Ye Zan examined himself and found that his strength could only be divided into two directions, one was his own state of cultivation, and the other was his natal magic weapon. Therefore, if he wants to improve his own strength, he needs to consider these two aspects. The first and most direct is undoubtedly to strengthen Ruyi Baichange.
Ye Zan's natal magic weapon is actually a ball of nano-level magic weapon particles, so it can be combined into other magic weapons at will, or change or even anything you want to change. Therefore, if you want to improve this magic weapon, in addition to daily warming and nourishing rituals, you have to consider the basic material.
It's like there is such a bunker, which was originally made of earth and mud. If you want to make it stronger, then replace the soil and mud with bricks, and even further, with reinforced concrete, and even further with copper-poured iron. The bunker is still the same bunker, but the materials used have been changed, and it has transformed from a shoddy project into an indestructible fortress.
This wishful change is certainly not a waste of time. The material itself is already outstanding among magic weapons. However, this does not mean that there is no room for improvement in the current materials of Ruyi Baibian. You know, on top of this magic weapon, there are immortal magic weapons, and other innate magic weapons. There is no end to their power.
When Ye Zan originally refined Ruyi Baibian, he used an evil bead obtained from the Black Prison of Tiandao Mountain, or the pure yang true fire bred by the evil bead. However, this is about the core of Ruyi Variety. Not the entire magic weapon is refined from evil beads, but a lot of other materials are added.
This core is not the usual one around which everything else is centered. And in Ruyi Baibian, to be precise, among those nano-level magic weapon particles, each particle has a little bit of the Pure Yang True Fire of Evil Pearl as the core of this particle. Just like matter at the microscopic level, there is an atomic nucleus surrounded by electrons and the like.
However, the nanoscale magic weapon particles have not yet reached the level of atoms, and are still many times larger in size.
If Ye Zan wants to strengthen Ruyi Variety, the simplest and most direct way to start is to enhance the material. Although the dragon skeleton was not made of fairy gold or anything like that, it was a heaven-level dragon skeleton after all, and its flesh and blood could be considered to be powerful to a certain extent.
Of course, it is impossible to say that it is invincible or indestructible. After all, Daojun Qinghong and the others had injured Tongtian-level dragons before, otherwise how would they have captured those dragons. It can only be said that among the materials that Ye Zan could choose, the flesh and blood on this dragon skeleton can be considered a better choice.
Moreover, compared with materials such as metal, wood, and stone, the flesh and blood of this dragon skeleton has another advantage, that is, it has activity that those materials do not have. Even though this dragon skeleton has been dead for countless years, even though the blood has stopped circulating, the cells in the body have not lost their activity. This is also the reason why Ye Zan can also provide a dragon blood bath for the disciples of Yuqing Sect, because the dragon blood has not solidified and dried up.
After some comparisons, Ye Zan chose the muscles on the dragon skeleton, or it could also be said to be muscle cells. Anyway, for other people, this dragon meat is only used to make elixirs, or grilled and eaten directly. No one will use it to refine weapons. Therefore, the meat of the dragon skeleton is relatively abundant, and it is not as popular as the dragon scales and keels.
In the laboratory of the research center, Ye Zan obtained a sufficient amount of dragon meat and directly released Ruyi Baibian without the need for other means. However, he did not turn the wishful change into some magic weapon, but maintained the most basic dispersed structure, as if he raised his hand and waved a cloud of smoke.
In the world of science and technology, there is an ordinary yet special kind of nano bug, which is designed to eat other substances to strengthen itself. The specific process is similar to a robot collecting raw materials and then automatically processing and manufacturing the robot, except that the robot is replaced by nano bugs. The reason why I say "ordinary" is because most nanobugs can actually have such a function. The term "special" refers to the fact that the Interstellar Federation has issued a law that strictly prohibits nanoworms from having the function of self-replication.
The Interstellar Federation issued such a decree because nanobugs that can replicate themselves will cause unimaginable harm to human society. This is no exaggeration. If there is a batch of nano bugs that can continuously replicate themselves, it will not be difficult to destroy a planet. As everyone knows, the story of "one changes into two, and two becomes four", one nanoworm copies one, and then two copies two. If it continues to double and develop, it really won't take long to eat up a planet. time.
Ye Zan has already refined Ruyi Baibian into a natal magic weapon. There is no need to worry about Ruyi Baibian losing control, and this restriction has naturally been lifted. Therefore, he does not need to use any equipment to create new nanoworms, he only needs to let Ruyi Baibian work according to the program.
The "smoke" formed by the wishful changes continuously poured out from Ye Zan's palm, and then enveloped the dragon meat that filled the entire storage room. There was no special sound, and the dragon meat was seen as if it were melting ice and snow, melting rapidly under the contact of "smoke".
This wishful change is not self-replication, but self-transformation, or it can be called evolution. They don't fit the entire blood and flesh cells into their bodies. After all, the cells are still huge compared to them. In the program set by Ye Zan, they further decompose the cells of the dragon's flesh and blood, and install the decomposed particles into themselves with a special structure.
It can be said that after such transformation, the ever-changing nanoparticles are like a reduced version of dragon cells. Moreover, because dragon cells are used as raw materials, the strength of the nanoparticles has also been enhanced to a certain extent. This enhancement is not just in terms of solidity, but also includes the toughness brought about by cell activity.
Moreover, there is another point, although the nanoparticles engulf the flesh and blood cells of the dragon clan. But in fact, they have put aside the functional parts of the cells, which is equivalent to reducing them to the most primitive and basic cells. Therefore, as long as Ye Zan is willing, these nanoparticles can be transformed into cells with different functions.
This also means that Ruyi Baibian, who could only transform magic weapons in the past, can even transform into a "living creature" in the future. However, this "living creature" only possesses biological activity, but cannot really become a living creature.
Ruyi Baiyuan's devouring transformation was carried out very quickly, and the dragon meat in the storage room was gnawed clean in the blink of an eye. Ye Zan moved his hand again, and the "smoke" that filled the storage room rolled into his palm like it was being sucked by a powerful vacuum cleaner.
The effect of Ruyi Baibian's enhancement this time will not be immediately visible, and it will require further refinement by Ye Zan afterwards. After all, Ye Zan wanted a stronger magic weapon, not a bunch of artificial flesh and blood grown in a laboratory.
Therefore, Ye Zan did not do anything else and devoted all his energy to the ever-changing sacrifice. Fortunately, this is not refining a magic weapon, it is not a troublesome thing for Ye Zan, and it does not take too long.
