Chapter 318 - 170: Fusion of Orifices, Qin Family
Doomsday World.
Surrounded by the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, seated grandly in front of the enormous Main Divine Temple in Tai Mountain City, everything in Fengdu City was under his control.
Following his previous instructions and under Sakura Yixue’s supervision, the Soul Hall’s Supreme Management Committee specially dispatched high-level personnel to handle this matter and greatly increased the supply of zombie flesh.
The Flesh Factory continuously supplied essence of zombie flesh, and it was heavily invested into the area for cultivating Golden Holy Beetles.
With more zombie flesh being fed, the Corpse Turtles reproduced at an even faster rate, increasing their numbers several times over. After being nurtured with Gu Cultivation and Living Refining Secret Skill, the number of mature Golden Holy Beetles reached a new high, exceeding twenty to thirty.
This cultivation capability had already surpassed the total number of Golden Holy Beetles matured in the previous two times combined.
Subsequently, more Golden Holy Beetles were catalyzed, evolving towards a mature form under the rich nurturing of zombie flesh.
On the other side in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, after several rounds of exploration and with the Daluo Alliance’s resource supply without sparing any cost, numerous Independent Practitioner Talisman Masters achieved phased results.
High investment, high return; the rewards provided by the Daluo Alliance were abundant enough. These talisman masters themselves were also competitors with one another, and there was tension between them.
Each person had their own specialty rune; even those not within the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Rune system would be specifically reminded to select a rune for research and refinement.
The success rate of inscribing runes on the hard shell of the Golden Holy Beetles for the third time increased significantly.
Thanks to the efforts of various talisman masters, three out of nineteen Golden Holy Beetles successfully had runes inscribed on them, namely from the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Runes: ’Transportation Talisman’, ’Exorcism Talisman’, and ’Bird-Training Talisman’.
The ’Transportation’ rune represents the Five Ghosts Wealth Transporting Skill, which is also collectively known as the skill for manipulating ghosts to transport and relocate certain special items without direct contact.
Mastering this secret technique allows one to collect items without touching them, once a specialized force lived by this method, practicing the Five Ghosts Grand Transportation uniformly.
The ’Exorcism’ rune can summon and command various mountain spirits and ghosts, making them accomplish the goals set by the caster, an upgraded version of the Ghost-Controlling Skill.
The ’Tame Bird’ rune is simpler, as its name suggests, using secret techniques to command the sky’s birds of prey to listen to his orders, achieving the effect of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.
These three runes, like the ’Invisibility’ rune, are part of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Runes and belong to the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Basic Rune Runes of the Talisman Dao, which talisman masters begin copying and inscribing when they start cultivation.
Thus, the talisman masters chosen by the Daluo Alliance follow a progression from easy to difficult, step by step, inscribing runes in order of complexity.
When Daluo Alliance’s Chief Steward Qi Lin brought these three Golden Holy Beetles, successfully inscribed with runes, to Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi issued another task.
For the next inscription on the Golden Holy Beetles, the ’Sword Technique Talisman’ rune must first be inscribed as soon as possible.
Compared to the other three runes, the Sword Technique Talisman is not a basic rune, posing a high difficulty, but it is a rare offensive talismanic magic among the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Runes.
Zheng Yi’s nurturing of the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd corresponds well with this rune.
Receiving the order, Grand Steward Qi Lin hurried back to convey the message and intention to the talisman masters who were diligently studying.
To inscribe runes faster and better, gathering all Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Runes within a short period, even for an organization like the Daluo Alliance, is not an easy task.
Hence, at Zheng Yi’s command, the entire alliance was mobilized, and the strong organizational structure took specific action.
Talisman masters continuously arriving from distant places were invited at high prices, and from them, those with true skills and unique insights into inscribing the seventy-two special runes were selected while those who had not succeeded three times were replaced.
The elimination system of the Daluo Alliance was also a necessity; the opening of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion on the night of the full moon was under time constraints. Missing this timing would mean waiting for decades, by then, opportunities would be long gone.
Zheng Yi had to complete his plans within the Incense Fire Dharma Realm utilizing the Super Brain Main God’s deductions by this time, making the selection of talisman masters extremely harsh.
Only if they failed to inscribe successfully three times were these talisman masters forsaken. Although the Golden Holy Beetles could be continuously produced, they were incredibly precious, the best steel must be used on the blade, naturally preferring the skilled over others to join.
Additionally, several talisman masters who successfully inscribed runes on the Golden Holy Beetles found that with repeated practice, they had made significant progress in both inscription speed and quality compared to before.
Within this challenging inscribing process, their talisman-making skills improved considerably.
Thus, although the Daluo Alliance’s frequent replacement of talisman masters surprised people, they could not resist its wealth and magnanimity, and there was no dissatisfaction among the talisman masters.
After all, it would be embarrassing for craftsmen to stay without sufficient skills, plus in monetary matters, the Daluo Alliance was generous, never treating them unfairly, allowing for connections and leaving a good impression for future cooperation.
