Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15858 Fierce Ghost
There's not much to say about Bai Yan and his group dealing with those sects; they had already made thorough preparations, so dealing with those sects was naturally much easier. On the other hand, the two things that Shenji Hall needed to do were actually making progress very quickly.

Originally, Wen Yuming thought that the software for refining magical artifacts should be completed first, because the software was not difficult to make and should be completed quickly. However, to Wen Yuming's surprise, the thing that was completed first was the matter of the vengeful ghost, while the software was not yet finished.

When Wen Yuming heard Zhang Hongliang say that the vengeful ghost had been created, he was really surprised. He immediately went to Zhang Hongliang's laboratory. As soon as he entered Zhang Hongliang's laboratory, he saw a vengeful ghost. However, the vengeful ghost was currently imprisoned in a magic circle and looked quite docile.

Although it looked honest, it was indeed a vengeful ghost. This ghost was entirely black, with blood-red eyes, a sinister aura emanating from it, and its hands were like sharp claws.

Wen Yuming hurried over and carefully examined the vengeful ghost. After a while, he finally said, "It is indeed a vengeful ghost. I really didn't expect it to be such a thing."

Zhang Hongliang smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed a vengeful ghost. I fused five soul flames together and also fused a mutated magic array. I didn't expect that this mutated law would be so suitable for soul flames. After they were fused, it already had a bit of a vengeful ghost's shadow. Then I let it absorb yin energy. I originally thought it would take a long time for it to become a vengeful ghost, but I didn't expect it to absorb yin energy so quickly. It quickly became a vengeful ghost. And now it can still absorb yin energy, but it doesn't need to. So I didn't let it absorb yin energy anymore. Now we need to conduct other experiments."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuming immediately asked, "What kind of experiment is still underway?"

Zhang Hongliang said, "I discovered that this vengeful ghost can indeed mutate. It can transform into other things, which is very strange. So I want to test it and see what other changes it can undergo."

Wen Yuming nodded, then said, "Okay, let's test it as soon as possible. By the way, can this kind of vengeful ghost be placed in a real illusion?"

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "We haven't conducted any experiments in this area yet."

Wen Yuming nodded and said, "Alright, then you can experiment slowly. I'll go check on Old Niu." Zhang Hongliang nodded, and Wen Yuming left immediately.

Soon, Wen Yuming arrived at Elder Niu's laboratory. People of their status all had their own separate laboratories, and they weren't the only ones in their laboratories. Their first laboratory was actually like a small, independently operating organization with quite a few people inside. For example, in Zhang Hongliang's laboratory, although it was called a laboratory, there were actually more than a hundred people directly working for Zhang Hongliang. And these were just his direct subordinates; he still had to manage some people. So, the number of people Zhang Hongliang actually managed in his laboratory was probably no less than a thousand.

Elder Niu's laboratory was no smaller than Zhang Hongliang's. Having heard of his reputation, I arrived at Elder Niu's laboratory. Everyone in Elder Niu's laboratory was busy, but everything was still in good order.

Elder Niu also saw Wen Yuming, and he immediately came forward, bowing to Wen Yuming and saying, "Hall Master."

Wen Yuming nodded and asked, "How's it going?"

Elder Niu smiled wryly and said, "The software was completed a long time ago. The reason it's not usable yet is because we're still refining the data on magical artifacts within it. For example, the weight of a magical artifact, its shape, the type of magic array needed, the number of arrays that can be added, which arrays can be replaced, and what materials are needed after replacing an array. All of these need to be added to the software; missing even one will prevent us from designing magical artifacts. We've been busy with this for days. You know, there are so many different kinds of magical artifacts in our sect. Inputting all their data into the software isn't something that can be done in a day or two. And we need manpower—the more, the better." Hearing Elder Niu's words, Wen Yuming couldn't help but smile and say, "So that's why. That's easy. When I get back, I'll immediately allocate manpower, transferring all the less busy people from the hall to you. We must complete this software as soon as possible. You just need to coordinate."

Elder Niu quickly responded, and Wen Yuming turned and left. He then immediately dispatched a large number of people to help Elder Niu. Of course, these people did not need to work in Elder Niu's laboratory, otherwise, his laboratory would not be able to accommodate so many people. He only needed to assign tasks to them and tell them how to do them. Then, they could go back to their own rooms to do the work. The task was not difficult, but the quantity was large, so more people were needed.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Everything went smoothly for Bai Yan and his team, and they had already begun their third operation. Zhang Hongliang's progress was also very smooth. Zhang Hongliang discovered that the vengeful ghosts produced using the mutation law possessed a unique energy: the ability to learn to a certain extent. This learning wasn't literal; rather, these vengeful ghosts produced by the mutation law could learn another law of power, but only one. After learning this new law of power, the ghost's attack power would lean towards the newly learned law of power, and its attack power would become even stronger.

Zhang Hongliang was very excited about this situation. They had now reached the final stage of the experiment, which was to see if they could put these vengeful ghosts into the real illusion.

Here's the question: are these vengeful spirits considered living beings? You could say they aren't living beings, since they have souls, albeit incomplete ones. But you could also say they are living beings. To be precise, they are a different kind of undead race, a race without souls, possessing only the instinct to fight. So, you could say they are living beings.

However, living beings cannot be placed in the real illusion, so it is not possible to directly put these vengeful ghosts into the real illusion. This is a bit of a headache for Zhang Hongliang. If these vengeful ghosts cannot be put into the real illusion, then they will have to keep making vengeful ghosts themselves, which is too much of a waste of time, and Zhang Hongliang is unwilling to do so.

It was for this reason that Zhang Hongliang began to conduct experiments in this area. After several experiments, Zhang Hongliang actually found a way, which was to first refine these vengeful ghosts into a magical artifact. However, this magical artifact could only be considered a container, not a magical artifact. In other words, this magical artifact was like a bottle containing vengeful ghosts, but the bottle could not control the vengeful ghosts. However, once you put the vengeful ghosts into the bottle, the Real Illusion would recognize the bottle as an inanimate object that could be placed into the Real Illusion.

After discovering this, Zhang Hongliang and his team began experimenting again. Simply trapping the vengeful ghost inside wouldn't work, so they needed a better method. In the end, they actually came up with one: they used Soul-Nourishing Wood to create a Soul-Nourishing Bead. This bead could store the vengeful ghost inside, or even be directly refined into the bead, making the ghost and the bead one. This way, they could not only nurture the ghost inside, but also place the bead directly into the real illusion, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Hongliang and his group had used many things to contain vengeful spirits before. Although they could put the vengeful spirit into a magic artifact and record it into the real illusion, turning it into a rune, when the rune was untied and it turned back into a magic artifact, the vengeful spirit inside would disappear. Even if the vengeful spirit did not disappear, it seemed to have suffered a huge blow. The vengeful spirit had injuries on its body, and they were the kind of injuries that could not be healed, which was very dangerous.

It was precisely because of this that, after numerous experiments, Zhang Hongliang and his team were able to create this Soul Nourishing Bead. Each Soul Nourishing Bead is only the size of a longan, but it can contain a vengeful ghost. Moreover, once the Soul Nourishing Bead is entered into the real illusion and transformed into runes, if you take it out and crush it, the vengeful ghost inside will appear. And this vengeful ghost will not be harmed at all. What you put in is what you release out, absolutely no problem. That's why Zhang Hongliang and his team ultimately chose the Soul Nourishing Bead.

In this way, they have an endless supply of vengeful ghosts to use, and these vengeful ghosts have different attributes. You can find any kind of vengeful ghost you want. It can be said that the variety is complete. This is because Zhang Hongliang and his group are constantly conducting experiments and continuously producing vengeful ghosts with different attributes. After all, there are too many laws here in the Blood Slaughter Sect. When the mutated laws are integrated with those laws, a new type of vengeful ghost will be obtained. Therefore, there are too many types of vengeful ghosts.

What truly surprised Zhang Hongliang and his group was that, with the blessing of the Law of Mutation, some special energies could actually create vengeful ghosts, such as the vengeful ghosts powered by Buddha. These are two opposing forces, yet they can be used to create vengeful ghosts.

For example, even a strange fire like the True Fire of the Sun, which has a strong restraining effect on ghosts, can actually turn into a vengeful ghost. This is quite astonishing. Zhang Hongliang and his group had never initially thought of using these energies to create vengeful ghosts. It was only after a disciple accidentally conducted an experiment that they created one. The reason they were able to create such a vengeful ghost with opposing attributes was due to the blessing of the Mutation Law. This Mutation Law actually had such an ability, which was something Zhang Hongliang and his group had not expected. But in any case, their experiment was successful, and they created all sorts of vengeful ghosts with different attributes. However, Zhang Hongliang eventually distinguished these vengeful ghosts. They no longer called the vengeful ghosts created with opposing attributes "vengeful ghosts," but rather "different ghosts," meaning ghosts with special attributes. Although this name is very straightforward, it distinguishes vengeful ghosts from different ghosts. Zhang Hongliang did this for a reason.
