Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15846 Officially in Use
"Hell Gate has officially started using Crystal Skulls. It looks like it won't be long before Hell Gate becomes a sect." Wan Sheng was reporting to the Blood Slaughter Sect. Now that he was a member of the undead race, he was naturally aligned with the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Hell Gate has indeed officially started using skeletons. Many of Hell Gate's low-level disciples have now become undead. Of course, to prevent Hell Gate from suspecting them, these disciples are currently only in the state of living dead. Hell Gate is also refining a large number of low-level illusion arrays. These illusion arrays are not difficult to refine, but the quantity required is relatively large.

Besides the illusion array, a type of robe also appeared at the Gate of Hell. This robe can completely cover a person's aura and appearance. Such clothes are easier to make than the illusion array and are also cheaper. It is not a problem for low-level disciples to cover their appearance with this robe, since they only need to cover their appearance.

Qin Sheng and his group had been observing the skeletons for several months, wanting to see if they had changed. Apart from their skeleton appearance, the skeletons hadn't changed at all, which reassured Qin Sheng and his group. Finally, three months after the first large-scale use of skeletons to turn the lower-level disciples into the undead race, Qin Sheng once again summoned all the sect's elders together.

After all the Supreme Elders had arrived, Qin Sheng spoke up: "Elders, after nearly a year of observation, we have found that after turning people into skeletons, those skeletons really do not have any other special characteristics. Moreover, the people from the Demon Blade Sect have been turned into skeletons for more than a year, almost two years now, and they have not experienced any discomfort. I think those skeletons are safe, and we can use them."

After hearing his words, all the elders nodded. Then Elder Wu said, "We can use it, but I think we must carefully select some people. We can't be like the Demon Blade Sect and turn everyone into skeletons. After all, our sect still needs new blood, and skeletons can't reproduce."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback, then they all nodded. Qin Sheng's expression also changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I was only focused on the skeletons and didn't even think of this. Elder Wu is right, those skeletons can't have children, which is probably their biggest problem. If we really turn everyone in the sect into skeletons, then our sect will have no fresh blood joining us. This is not necessarily a good thing for the sect's development. Right now, it seems that using those crystal skeletons is not a problem, so should we stop turning those low-level disciples into skeletons? You know, those low-level disciples are very prolific. If we really turn all those low-level disciples into skeletons, then our sect will have far fewer fresh blood joining us in the future."

All the elders nodded, and Elder Wu also spoke up, "Okay, I think this is the best way. You make the arrangements. Anyway, many people in the sect already know about this. We need to explain to them clearly what the side effects of using the Crystal Skull are, and let them consider whether they want to become skeletons."

Qin Sheng nodded in agreement. The elders exchanged glances, and then Elder Wu spoke up, "Let's use that crystal skull too, since we're not planning on having any more children anyway."

Everyone chuckled when they heard him say that. Of course, they couldn't have children, so the crystal skull was perfect for them. They hadn't used it before because they were afraid there was something wrong with it. Now it seemed that the worst thing about the crystal skull was that it couldn't have children, so what did they have to worry about? They could just use it.

After hearing Elder Qian's words, Qin Sheng frowned and then said, "Elders, do you really want to do this? You should know that if you really turn into skeletons, you will never be able to turn back."

An elder sighed and said, “Use it. At least I will use it. Although my lifespan may still be several hundred years, my strength has already begun to decline. I’m afraid it won’t be long before I can no longer maintain my strength at the kingdom level. It doesn’t matter if you don’t use it, you can still hold on for a while. But I can’t do without it, so I will use it.”

The others knew this Supreme Elder. His surname was Luo, and his given name was Luo Qing. He was over a thousand years old, and his strength was indeed slowly declining. If he didn't use the Crystal Skull, he might not fall out of the ranks of Kingdom-level experts for about a hundred years. Although he could make his strength return to its peak in a short time, the price he would have to pay was too high, so he didn't want to wait any longer.

Others can understand him. After all, once you've reached the top, you don't want to fall back down. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, you want to stay on top and not go down. That's exactly what Luo Qing thought.

After listening to Luo Qing's words, Qin Sheng thought for a moment and then said, "If that's the case, then Elder Luo, why don't you try using that skeleton first and see what it feels like? What do you think?"

Qin Sheng's meaning was quite clear: he wanted Luo Qing to be the test subject to see if there was anything wrong with the crystal skulls. If Luo Qing couldn't find anything wrong with them, then others could use them. Luo Qing understood his meaning. He took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Some things always have to be done by someone, so I'll do it first." No one else objected, and everyone dispersed. Qin Sheng then gave Luo Qing a crystal skull.

Luo Qing took the crystal skull and returned to his residence. He then told his subordinates that he was going into seclusion and not to look for him. He then left and went directly to the Gate of Hell, a deserted mountain. To avoid any negative impact, he even released his aura, scaring away all the wild beasts on the mountain. After that, he cleared a cave and entered it. Then he took out the crystal skull and placed it in front of him.

Elder Luo Qing looked to be over seventy years old, but his hair and beard had all turned white. However, his complexion was very rosy, and it would be fair to say that he had white hair but a youthful appearance.

Even so, Luo Qing was still not satisfied. He would rather become a skeleton and gain immortality, and have his strength return to its peak, than be like this, where his strength was slowly declining. That was why he wanted to become a skeleton.

After taking out the crystal skull, he examined it carefully but found nothing special. The entire crystal skull was almost transparent and had nothing particularly remarkable about it.

He looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only place the crystal skull directly in front of him and then sit down to cultivate, treating it as if he were in seclusion.

He cultivated like this for more than two hours without noticing any changes in his body. He didn't pay any attention to it, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, glanced around, and then said, "It's time to go out for a walk." After saying that, he walked out of the cave, walked around, and released some pressure, making the animals afraid to approach. Then he returned to the cave and sat there, looking at the crystal skull.

Just then, the crystal skull suddenly lit up. Luo Qing was startled, and the next moment a rune entered his body. His body stiffened, and it took him a while to recover. Then he let out a long breath and looked at the skull with a complicated expression.

He has now become a member of the undead race. To ensure the success of this plan, Wen Yuming and his team improved the necromancy array. The current necromancy array can release necromancy runes, and these runes do not require turning people into mummies. Those who are hit by these runes will become undead, but there will be no reaction during the entire process. At the same time, he will also receive a lot of information about the Blood Slaughter Sect carried in this rune. Luo Qing now knows about the Blood Slaughter Sect, its plan, and his own mission. That's why his eyes were so complicated when he looked at the crystal skull after regaining consciousness. He really didn't expect that the crystal skull was actually part of the Blood Slaughter Sect's plan from beginning to end, a plan to annex the Gate of Hell without fighting.

It's a pity he realized it too late. Now, even if he wanted to regret it, it was too late; he had already become a member of the undead race. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Then, his mood gradually improved. The Blood Slaughter Sect was able to use this plan to directly incorporate the Hell Gate into itself, which demonstrated the Blood Slaughter Sect's strength. Moreover, through the contents of the runes, he also understood the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect now had the strength to launch a direct attack on the Hell Gate and turn everyone in the Hell Gate into the undead race, but they didn't do that. Instead, they used this relatively gentle but time-consuming method, which was already quite good.

Moreover, he is now a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The stronger the Blood Slaughter Sect becomes, the greater the benefit to him. Of course, he hopes that the Blood Slaughter Sect will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, his mood has improved a lot. He is very clear that the Blood Slaughter Sect's plan is without any problems. Soon, all the people of Hell Gate will become the undead race, and the Blood Slaughter Sect will be able to take over the entire Hell Gate without bloodshed.

That's why he felt better. No matter what, the Blood Slaughter Sect had won this time, and the others would join the Blood Slaughter Sect sooner or later anyway, so what was there for him to be sad about? Luo Qing felt much better now. He wanted to see how the others would react when they became members of the undead race. Just thinking about their expressions made him want to laugh.

He knew he no longer needed the crystal skull, but to avoid arousing suspicion from Qin Sheng and the others, he would keep the crystal skull with him for twenty days before returning it to them.
