New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 286 [Seal Forging] A New Holy Light Mystery!
After hanging up with Lü Rang, Yuan Zhu found himself with nothing to do. He glanced at the time; it was almost dawn. However, with his strength continuously improving, both his physical abilities and mental state were gradually surpassing those of ordinary people, leaving him exceptionally energetic and not sleepy.

On the other side, the little girl following behind Nie Yin, constantly asking questions and humbly seeking knowledge, was also too excited about her first ascension to the Upper Realm to be sleepy. Instead, she was very interested in learning a craft from Nie Yin.

Meanwhile, the Frog Killer, who had always been ostracized and discriminated against in the Frog School, suddenly found her status reversed and became the one who imparted knowledge and was respected. She also enjoyed this feeling of being valued, so she patiently told Yuan Tang some basic knowledge, which was rare for her.

Seeing the three cadres getting along well and enjoying themselves, Yuan Zhu did not disturb them. Instead, he went to his small attic and pondered: what should he do next?
His current career in the mortal realm of Du Ling (Running) is just beginning; his operations haven't fully taken off yet, and he'll have to wait for the right conditions before he can pull off any more big projects. (He's been trying to copy Earth's 'chemical pharmaceuticals/veterinary drugs' to create corresponding pollution versions, as a way of 'paying homage to and reminiscing' about his old home, Earth.)
He will only have the opportunity to try it once the Frog Factory's laboratory is completed.

At this moment, Yuan Zhu summoned Snake and asked her to act as a recorder to make a plan form for him: "For the next period of time, [Frog Factory] can be temporarily handed over to Senior Sister, and she can be entrusted to help supervise it. After all, this is a common cause for everyone."

With only three candles—shrimp soldiers (siblings) and crab general (Nie Yin)—we're severely understaffed. Therefore, we're temporarily putting [Frog Factory] on hold.

"We need to shift our focus to the interior of the Misty Mountains. The Mountain Lord's Domain is the foundation. Once it is successfully established, we need to gradually move out of the haunted house and even completely erase the current 'shadowy transformation traces'."

The snake asked, "By then, will we abandon the [Garden of Disease]?"

Yuan Zhu thought for a moment and shook his head: "We can't completely abandon it. We can install an early warning device in the [haunted house]. Before the real owner returns, we can cautiously enter the [garden] and harvest 'disease contamination' to stockpile for future use."

For the Holy Light system, [Disease Contamination] remains a high-quality material for cultivation. His mentally ill act of burning and destroying 'Disease Plants' through [Holy Light], from the perspective of the [Holy Light Root], is actually burning (sacrificing) himself to destroy the evil taboo contamination.

This act itself accumulates 'holy light merit'. Through the unity of knowledge and action, it continuously practices the 'holy light virtue', destroying 'disease pollution' filled with sin. Such life-shortening actions promote the spirit of the temple externally; internally, it is a form of asceticism to enhance the quality of 'holy light' (forging holy seals from the embers of the soul, gathering soul crystals).

Yuan Zhu then said, "Besides fully developing the [Law Domain], let's formulate the first key project: the cultivation of the 'Five Beastman Brothers.' They not only need to fight in the arena and make money for the company, but they also need to serve as important test subjects for the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]'s bandit gang to steal data from the [Frog God System]. Therefore, they cannot die easily, and we must skillfully balance the difficulty of the 'arena matches,' stubbornly struggling on the line between life and death, constantly overdrawing, bursting forth, rescuing, and tapping into their potential. This work, and the balance, is entrusted to you!"

The snake, with a shocked expression like a cat, pointed at itself and exclaimed, "Me?!"

Yuan Zhu nodded: "That's right! Haven't you always wanted to be independent? I'll give you the opportunity now. I will focus on developing the [Mountain Lord's Domain]; you will be in charge of the [Beastman Project]."

The snake retorted, "But we're one entity. If you go into the mountains, I'll go into the mountains too. How can I keep track of the beastmen's changes all the time?"

Yuan Zhu: "I'm transferring the authority of the [Anti-Law Group A] to you. From now on, you'll also be the [Anti-Law Vice President]. Orcs can't participate in the arena at first; they need some time to train. And according to your deduction, once the [Law Domain] is opened up, it will be able to bear, decompress, and install the main core of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]."

"By then, the [Immortal Scripture] will be decompressed and merged with the [Law Domain], becoming the [Immortal Scripture Server]. Theoretically, it can break through the external barrier of the [Immortal Universe] and conduct covert data exchanges with the [Technological Universe]. Now, the [Spirit Tablet] is destined to be unable to contact the [Technological Universe], but its powerful 'covert signal transmission' should surely be able to communicate with the [Law Domain] and Running at this distance, right?"

Snake was speechless. She had been touting the powerful functions of the [Immortal Scripture Old Deng]. Once the [Law Domain] was opened and the server was decompressed, it could indeed easily achieve communication far exceeding signal transmission.

So she assured him, "Big Brother, I'm confident I can complete the mission perfectly!"

Yuan Zhu: "Very good, very energetic! I have high expectations for the five brothers."

First, before their deaths, the five hybrid beastmen must have at least reached the first major realm of [Ultimate Warrior], meaning that after their entire body's [muscle fibers] were tempered to their physiological limits, they completed their first [synthesis (two-in-one)]. This broke through the limits of humanity and power, achieving complete physical transcendence! (Seed of Power)
Furthermore, during this training process, the [Anti-Law + Boss Template] approach was used in tandem to replicate and upload all training data to the [Immortal Scripture Database]. A more cost-effective training method for the [Shadow Warrior] was discovered, and attempts were made to integrate it into the [Boss Template] and make it one's own.

Yuan Zhu is not good at this kind of 'data monitoring, modeling, and calculation', but it is Snake's forte.

Expectation 2: As the orc warriors grow stronger, a new type of [Shadow Frog Pollution] will be extracted from them to create a new [Yuan's Shadow Tempering Fluid]. This will allow them to penetrate the 'Frog-type Potions' market.

Through Nie Yin's explanation, he gradually learned that for an 'Extreme Warrior' to continuously evolve and improve, in addition to consuming large amounts of nutrients and persisting in training to stimulate the continuous growth and strengthening of 'muscle fibers' to ensure that their realm does not regress,

It also requires a large amount of different [heterogeneous frog-type contamination (quenching fluid)] to stimulate the muscles, injecting 'new' potential and raising the upper limit.

Only a large quantity and diverse range of 'advanced body-tempering fluids' can bring wave after wave of new stimulation and enhancement to the muscles. This allows the muscles, which have already reached their limits, to advance towards the ultimate realms of 'secondary synthesis, tertiary synthesis,' and other advancements that transcend the limits and are simply unattainable.

In the terminology of Xianxia (Chinese fantasy), this is called the "drug-consuming" style. After developing resistance to a certain type of elixir, one must pursue more, higher-grade elixirs that do not induce resistance, in order to advance one's cultivation to the next, and the next level after that.

Although his own fate has taken a turn, completely different from the "Wolf King + Dragon Medicine" described by the 'future man', Yuan Zhu is still willing to maintain that 'sacred timeline' whose authenticity is unknown, to fulfill his historical mission. He develops a brand-new version of the "Shadow Dragon Medicine" to benefit the vast fitness (frog-type) cultivators of Duling Star.

This was both the destiny he was destined to bear and the lucrative business opportunity in the pharmaceutical field, which was also his comfort zone in his previous life. The thought of combining "frog-related pollution" with his expertise in clenbuterol hydrochloride to create a commercial legend inexplicably ignited his passion and filled him with enthusiasm!
Between "frog farmer" and "pharmaceutical entrepreneur," which sounds better? Which is more lucrative? Which has higher social status? The answer is obvious.

The final expectation is that the five orc brothers can survive the repeated torment (training and training) they endured, along with the frog girl and the dangerous siblings from another world, and then unleash their full potential, fiercely breaking through the arena of the dark underground fighting world, making a name for themselves, establishing their own style... and creating a brand new 'fighting brand'.

At that time, he would be able to make a business transition and venture into the 'sports and entertainment' field. In fact, his former agent, who provided him with 'orc resources', had been experimenting with such 'events' all along.

However, the opposing team lacks creativity and core competitiveness, making it difficult for their matches to gain widespread popularity. Any slight success is met with malicious targeting and copying from competitors. In short, the "underground boxing matches" in Running City are all small-scale and disorganized. If they could establish strict rules and regulations, creating something like MMA, UFC, or K-1, they could even receive support from the city government to help them grow and become a major attraction for tourists.

After listening to Yuan Zhu's demanding requirements, Snake asked, "Are you leaving all of this to me?"

Yuan Zhu: "Yes, you can also lend Nie Yin and Yuan Tang, siblings. They are indispensable to achieving these three goals."

Nie Yin is already a fully-fledged psychopath. Take her away from the constraints of the academy, give her ample autonomy, provide her with good resources and experimental facilities, then assign her tasks, let her develop freely, and periodically check and harvest her results.

Yuan Tang possesses both high IQ and EQ, but lacks common sense and is too polluted to be exposed to light, requiring continued private tutoring. Initially, Nie Yin can serve as his tutor. Later, after the [Frog Factory] is established, he will be handed over to his senior sister for the cultivation of [Dangerous Plants].

The little girl had already taught herself the "Corpse Seed" technique back in the [Pastoral Village]. This method is perfect for cultivating [Contaminated Spirit Herbs], complementing her [Botany School].

It would be perfectly acceptable to assign her to be Senior Sister Chen's assistant, where she could learn from her example and secretly study the pharmacological knowledge of the [Dangerous Botany School] while doing odd jobs, and even explore the knowledge of the [Rogue Cultivator System].

The senior student wants to develop a [magic potion] for her family by studying and researching 'polluted spiritual herbs' and ancient 'elixirs and prescriptions'; while Xiao Tang's dream is to become an [alchemist (insect type)]... Their business scopes highly overlap and they are extremely compatible.

As for my younger brother...?
No doubt about it, I'll send him to train in beast fighting techniques tomorrow and impart the most realistic combat experience.

Snake: "Little brother, you can't be in the light of day yet, right?"

Yuan Zhu: "Take the five orc brothers back to the [Haunted House]. The interior of the villa is too small; they can't fight freely there. Let them go to the [Garden of Disease] to fight to their hearts' content!"

Snake sighed, "This kid is so pitiful! He just ascended from the Feathered World to the Spirit Realm less than a day ago, and he's already been assigned such a heavy 'child labor job.' He's only 8 years old! Even his older sister has booked two tutors (Nie Yin and Senior Sister)."

Yuan Zhu: "We can equip Yuan Tang with a Brain Eggplant to store her knowledge and insights. After she has fully digested and absorbed them, we can share them with her younger brother as a 'finished product. Study Notes.' This will allow her younger brother to use the Brain Eggplant for efficient self-study in his spare time."

In Yuan Zhu's opinion, it was a huge waste of resources for the siblings to attend classes, learn, and practice together! If the younger brother was also taking extra classes, who would train the orcs?
The most important short-term project right now is to train him in orcs quickly; his older sister can tutor him. The younger brother should be doing the hardest work in the best grades. Anyway, his talent is mostly in combat, so having him beat up orcs isn't a waste of his potential.

As for his lack of knowledge and common sense, his sister's recitation and his own self-study are sufficient. He's only 8 years old; it's perfectly normal for his knowledge level to be lower than his sister's!

Snake: "That makes sense! I will execute your plan perfectly. So, what are your plans for the next stage of your cultivation, Lord Prisoner?"

Yuan Zhu pondered seriously. He didn't see any breakthrough opportunities for the various talents within the [Shadow System]. Only [Law Domain] had the potential to rapidly advance and propel [Tiger Demon] to a new level. Therefore…

"My focus for personal cultivation will remain on [Holy Light]. I need to speed up the 'forging' process for the second seal. Once completed, I can condense the second soul crystal and enter the second, third, and fourth stages of Foundation Establishment."

Snake: "So, what should we burn?"

Ordinary cultivators can forge a seal by randomly burning a bunch of powerful 'polluted demons' to gather enough embers. However, doing so results in soul embers that are too chaotic and contain a lot of disordered 'polluted information,' making it impossible to combine them with the idealistic holy light to extract the 'skill' one desires.

From the beginning, Yuan Zhu focused on burning the three types of pollutants: [disease, shadow demon insects, and small pumpkins], successfully hatching three skills. Now, the snake is indicating to Yuan Zhu that he must choose the fourth type of 'pollutation system'.

“Boss, you can trace back to the source of contamination from the type of ‘ability’ you desire. For example, if you want to continue optimizing the [Holy Knight Breathing Technique], you can start with the missing [armor]. Burn a large amount of [Knight Armor], extract the embers, and nurture the related skills.”

Yuan Zhu: "The problem is that we can't currently find a stable source of [Contaminated Armor] with guaranteed pollution levels and in sufficient quantity. There are many 'Undead Knights' activities on the surface of the [Feathered World], but the risk is too high; we can arrange to obtain them during the [3 Seals]. Right now, the most suitable cheap fuels to acquire are only [Frog-type] and [Disease-type]. High-quality [Frog-type Contamination] requires time to cultivate step by step. Therefore, we have no choice but to continue burning [Disease-type]!"

Snake: "Burning [Disease Contamination] again? To enhance the synergy with [Holy Cough Particles], or is there another plan?"

Yuan Zhu recalled the various [Contamination Crystals] he obtained through 'Goblin + Disease Contamination' and suddenly made a decision: "Remember the bio-equipment dropped by that batch of 'Disease Goblin Contaminants'? I feel that the [Disease Ray Eyeball] is destined to be connected with [Holy Light]!"

The ordinary goblins who indiscriminately consumed 'disease plants' to accelerate their pollution evolution have undergone various transformations. Some have developed 'bone arrow throat pouches' that allow them to spray highly toxic disease-infected bone arrows through coughing; others have developed lung mutations that allow them to release large amounts of foul-smelling pathogenic gas through coughing...

Among these goblins, one has mutated its eyeball, creating a unique entity capable of emitting 'disease rays'. Its [Transcendent Contamination Crystal] is precisely this eyeball.

Conversely, if a large number of these [Disease Eye Rays. Goblins] are targeted and catalyzed, and then their 'Extraordinary Pollution Crystals' are extracted and refined with Holy Light, the extracted [Soul Crystals] will have a high probability of giving birth to [Ray-type Holy Light Skills]. This would be fantastic, perfectly suited to the combat style of the [Holy Light System], and would also complement one's [Holy Light Tactics].

His current Holy Light system focuses on defense and confinement, but lacks an effective offensive means. The Holy Light Ray will fill this gap in mid-to-long-range attacks. Based on his understanding of Holy Light, this skill, born from the Holy Seal, resonates with his subconscious desires. So, if he simply fantasizes wildly about Kizaru, he can hatch…?
