New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 50 'Amazing Wisdom! ' Elf
A black shadow smashed through the gate of the Vajra Temple and rushed wildly into the residential area shrouded in darkness. After a few agile turns, it disappeared gracefully in the dark alley, leaving behind only a dark golden afterglow that slowly dissipated.

At this moment, the tiger demon rushed forward with unbridled excitement. Even the strongest wind could not quench its inner excitement and restlessness.

"We're getting rich! We're getting rich! We're getting fat! Boss, from now on, we're rich people too!" The snake's tail hanging behind the tiger's butt was so excited that it started shaking its head rapidly.

She was affected and infected by Yuan Zhu's ecstatic spirit, and was also overwhelmed by joy, and followed her mindless laughter. She drove her master into the wind and cheered.

A few minutes ago, the Tiger Demon successfully explored the Vajra Temple inside and out.

All the Buddha statues in the temple, both inside and outside, were smashed and destroyed. The places where the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas were originally enshrined were now occupied by the ghosts and transformed into their lair.

Finally, Yuan Zhu and the elf found an abandoned pure gold Buddha statue in a remote corner, which was 50cm tall!
Because it was too strong, it was not broken, only its head and hands were tilted, but some of its original appearance can still be seen. This Bodhisattva has two heads and eight arms, one with a green face and fangs, and a furious expression. The other head is replaced by a hand, which may be the origin of the "Buddha's hand melon".

Its muscles were exceptionally developed, with veins bulging out from each arm, shaped into the forms of different species. Yuan Zhu could discern only the tiger claws, dragon claws, ape paws, and even the mantis blade feet...

It's a pity that the originally exquisite and ferocious shape was hit by external force, and it fell over as if its arm was broken. Its facial features were also hit so that its eyes and mouth were crooked, and its cervical vertebrae were extremely bent... Its artistic value plummeted, but its gold content remained unchanged.

When he lifted it up, he discovered that the statue was incredibly heavy, weighing at least 100kg. It was absolutely solid! Yuan Zhu was so happy that he couldn't help but let the Tiger Demon burst out with infinite enthusiasm and strength.

The tail flew and curled back, tightly wrapping around the Eight-Armed Bodhisattva of the Angry Sutra with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth, and then it ran away wildly, not caring at all whether the shadow pre-made dish could be successfully hatched, whether it could compete with the corpse hand plant for the power of the underworld, or whether it could successfully pollute the Youquan pond?
There was only one thought left in his mind: Get out of the city! Get out of the city! He had to go all out to rescue this precious Buddhist relic. He couldn't let it be contaminated or destroyed by those stinking corpses!

You must leave the city as fast as possible to reunite with your captain, return to [Maomao King's Happy Home], and bring this golden Buddha statue back to Running as soon as possible. Break off its head and legs, take it to the gold shop to sell the stolen goods, and become the most powerful person in the world!
Only by becoming a superior person with social status and influence can we promote social legislation and better protect more precious cultural relics!

After running for thousands of meters and gradually no longer feeling the Yellow Spring pollution of the Vajra Temple behind him, the Tiger Demon sprinted into the shadow world. He did not feel the pollution and spread of the "Yellow Spring Buddhist Melody" and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really fucking developed!"

The tiger demon raised a paw and rubbed it back and forth like Elder Jinchi stroking a brocade cassock. He couldn't let go of the golden Buddha statue, leaving scratches on its body, but he still felt unsatisfied and couldn't stop touching it.

Suddenly, a voice came from the horizon, asking: "Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?"

"Of course I love gold! Hmm? What's wrong?"

Yuan Zhu, whose greed was interrupted by the elf's stupid question, suddenly realized that something was wrong and calmed down: "I was too excited. I was blinded by greed. But sudden wealth is really a test of one's mentality. My heart is still beating like crazy and can't slow down. It's so joyful!"

The elf said, "It's really cool! I never expected that such a small bubble world could make such a fortune. This [Fluffy King's Happy Home] is indeed very promising. Boss, you must not quit so easily."

"call……"

Yuan Zhu took a deep breath, finally calming down a bit. He began to think, "I need to find a way to hide this golden Buddha statue. I can't show off my wealth; it's not conducive to team unity. What do you think...can we hide it in the [Universe in the Belly]?"

Yuan Zhu thought of the scene where Shewei had ruminated on the 'pre-prepared dishes of the evil spirits' before. It can be put away and put away, like a portable space!
The elf shook his head. "I don't think so. The Abdomen is a mysterious space, but it's essentially a space capable of digestion, corrosion, and decomposition. If I put this Bodhisattva in there, I'm afraid it would be dissolved before I can even take it out."

"Is [The Universe in the Belly] so powerful? I don't believe it. How come it can't even produce a single ghost?"

"This Bodhisattva is an ordinary creature, while those monsters are contaminated. They cannot be generalized. The Qiankun in his stomach is very powerful in decomposing food. It can allow a tiger demon to eat one meal and sleep for a month. If it eats a large meal, it will directly hibernate."

Yuan Zhu: "Tigers don't need to hibernate."

"But the snake needs it."

"So what should I do? Just use it to get through? Well, I've made such a fortune, so giving a teammate a Bodhisattva arm is nothing. With this Bodhisattva body, I can live a carefree life."

After regaining consciousness, Yuan Zhu once again examined the golden Buddha in his hand and realized that when the gold weighed 100kg, it would not seem so painful to give away a few kilograms. Instead, it would feel like he was pretending to be a saint in front of others.

After all, this stuff wasn't earned with much effort. It came easily, so it was natural to spend it lavishly. No wonder the captain so readily gave away gold to curry favor.

The elf asked, "Boss, are we leaving the city now? Or should we do a few more and then leave?"

The tiger demon couldn't help sharpening his claws on the Bodhisattva's back, scattering wisps of gold powder in the kingdom of shadows.

"No more stopping. The longer the night, the more trouble we have. Let's just leave the city. I don't think there's any wealth more valuable than this in the Yefo Kingdom. Besides, this Buddha statue is quite heavy. It would be hard to carry more than it. Damn, I don't have any spatial equipment!"

The elf suddenly showed an expression that said, "Hey! I have an idea!" "Boss, I have a bold idea. Should I tell you?"

"explain."

"If we choose to leave the city, we'll have to disengage the [Tiger Demon Form]. Your human form will be significantly weakened, and carrying the Golden Bodhisattva will be a difficult task. So... why not feed the Mao Mao King's uniform? Feed it with the [Power of Shadow]! Not only will you become stronger with the uniform, but you can also indirectly master the power of shadows in your human form."

"What?" Yuan Zhu was startled at first, then stunned. After thinking carefully, he realized that it was really possible to play it this way: "Oh my god! You can actually do it this way, you are really a clever little ghost!"

I used Shadow Contamination to feed the uniform, condensing the seeds of power, and then allowed my human form to control my own power again. Compared to accessing other unknown and high-risk contamination abilities, the Shadow Uniform had zero hidden dangers, further eliminating the risk of exposing the Tiger Demon.

If I have to use the [Boss Template] in future missions and leave traces, I can use the 'Shadow Uniform' to cover it up: "I, Yuan Zhu, would like to call you the strongest navigation elf. I underestimated you." "Hehehe..."

The praised elf could no longer contain himself and began to arrogantly twist his tail and laugh wildly towards the sky: "This feeling of being recognized is so satisfying! It's so cool, even better than the boss finding gold."

Little Tail, who felt he had awakened his 'astonishing wisdom', spoke again, "Boss, do you want to go one step further? Transform the uniform tainted by the shadow into a seed of power? Completely cleanse it into a power system in human form? That way, with the unlimited investment of the Tiger Demon, you can fully unleash your potential..."

"No! There's absolutely no need for that." Yuan Zhu shook his head, firmly rejecting the idea. "Even if I inherit the 'Shadow System' as a human, there's no need for [Mao Mao Wang] to interfere. Do I lack safe and harmless 'Shadow System. Power Seeds'? Not at all!"

"Furthermore, during my brief encounter with the ghouls in the Vajra Temple, I realized that the contamination intensity of Shadow is rather low. It's not a powerful contaminating force. It often takes two or even three of them to dissolve and dissolve a single dose of the Yellow Springs Buddha Rhyme in an ordinary ghoul. Therefore, my human body must choose a sufficiently powerful indigenous system to conduct a control group experiment."

Hearing Yuan Zhu's doubts, the elf naturally recorded the detailed data of various polluting energies in the bubble world, and then started intelligent analysis.

"Boss, I have a hypothesis. The [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] might have taken a fancy to the weak [Shadow Pollution] and chosen it to cleanse itself. At the cost of only 17.6% pollution, it bit off the most core part from a certain Shadow Evil God, completely refined it and took it for itself, giving your [Boss Template] the characteristics of a demon god. If it were replaced with an extremely high-quality super-pollution source, I'm afraid even Lao Deng would not be able to completely refine it and take it for himself even if he sacrificed himself."

Yuan Zhu agreed with this.

He was currently in the [Tiger Demon] state, and simply by being in the shadows, without any action required, an endless supply of polluted spiritual energy flowed back, nourishing the 'spiritual roots' in his body for growth and development, allowing him to become stronger and stronger.

This passive buff of obtaining spiritual energy out of thin air is very unusual and involves some rules and concepts.

He was able to kill everyone in the Vajra Temple because of this passive effect. He could squander the power of shadow without any worries and combine several magical powers at will.

On the contrary, the corpses at Kongoji Temple, their home turf, quickly lost the polluted power in their bodies during the fierce battle, making it difficult to make up for it.

After Yuan Zhu and the elf discussed their plan, the Tiger Demon simply rested in the shadow dimension, frantically absorbing the shadow power that surged from all around him. Meanwhile, the elf devoured the "Furry King Uniform" in one gulp, processing and refining it within its [Abstract Universe], continuously infusing it with shadow contamination.

"Do you think that [Furry King] will be able to analyze the power of pollution through his uniform and indirectly discover the secret of the [Boss Template]?"

"Don't worry, she can't do it! This kind of uniform is inherently of very low purity, just like those 'half-finished minions' you threw out. The 'shadow power' they carry is only of the most basic polluting nature, completely worthless. Even if they were devoured and digested by other monsters, they wouldn't be able to discover any secrets of the [Immortal Scripture]. The same principle applies to Mao Mao Wang's uniform. She won't put too much effort into it. I even think I can use [The Universe in My Belly] to completely contaminate and refine it."

The elf analyzed seriously, "I believe the [Furry King's] ultimate tactic is to sign a counter-law with her. Once the counter-law is reached, this uniform, which is gradually growing out of control and growing wildly, will re-establish a new connection with the source of the pollution (the counter-law) and upload new data."

Yuan Zhu nodded in approval: "You are such a good elf!"

"Right, right! Then, boss, can you give me a name? I don't want to be called Elf. It's too vulgar and too ordinary. It doesn't suit such an outstanding person like me! Only when I am more outstanding can I better highlight your greatness, boss."

The tiger demon looked up and admired his own ferocious snake-bone tail, which was white-boned but had a jade-like texture. It was truly a magnificent work of art!

"How about... you just call yourself 'Skull Spicy Strips'!"

Before he traveled through time, calling snakes "la tiao" had become popular in his hometown on Earth.

Upon hearing this, the elf was overjoyed and flattered, "Thank you, Boss, for the name! Xi Anqi was born on a Silong and came to Yujing. Boss, you are indeed a man of great literary talent, well-versed in both ancient and modern times, and a man of great devotion to the Dao. From now on, my Daoist name will be [Yujingzi]! I will definitely not let you down, Boss!"

"...Wait! Your name is Skull Spicy Little Strips!"

Upon hearing this, the elf was even more ecstatic and nodded vigorously. "Ah! 'Snake', of course, is no problem! This is all because of your love and care for me, Boss. From now on, my Taoist name will be [Yujingzi], and my nickname will be [Snake]."

“…” The Tiger Demon narrowed his eyes. Are you deliberately not hearing me?
Yu Jingzi: "Boss, your coat has been successfully refined. Do you want to leave the shadow world and try it on? Oh, and I have a bold and radical idea. I wonder..."

The tiger demon sighed, "Hey...you can tell me."

"When I used [The Universe Within] to imbue that uniform with shadow pollution, I suddenly realized that the uniform is a container, capable of collecting and containing all kinds of external 'pollution', integrating it with itself, and forging a unique garment. Therefore, perhaps we don't need to be overly conservative and simply infuse it with 100% controllable 'shadow pollution'. This way, the uniform's safety is maximized, but its potential is also linked to [Shadow]..."

Yuan Zhu understood her thoughts: "So, do you think we can upgrade the uniforms? Reduce some of the controllable 'shadow pollution' and add some more exciting elements to make the uniforms have more potential than the safe version of the 'shadow uniform'."

"Correct!"

"What do you want to add? This bubble world is left with only: Filthy Bone Monsters, Star Buddha Eggplants, Yellow Springs Corpse Ghosts, Yellow Springs Cassock Ghosts... Even the slightly legitimate 'Pure Buddha Cocoons' have been contaminated."

Xiao La Tiao advised, "Then choose 'Buddha Eggplant'! Avoid the wrong choice of [Filthy Bone and Blood], and then avoid [Yellow Spring], which is already connected to the Tiger Demon. Only the completely unfamiliar [Starlight Buddha Eggplant] is left. To improve controllability and allow [Shadow] to take the lead in the future uniform, we can appropriately devour (kidnap) a few more wild civilian Buddha Eggplants and try to refine a new batch of semi-finished ghost minions. Stuff one of them into the uniform."

"feasible!"

Yuan Zhu understood what Xiao Latiao meant, captured civilian Buddha eggs, refined them into pre-made dishes for the minions, and then fed them to the uniforms as rations, giving birth to shadow uniforms with "Buddha egg properties".

It sounds interesting and worth a try. Worst case scenario, if I fail, I can just ask Captain Guan for a new uniform.
