Chapter 358 - 161: Night Mad Cultivator: I Will Change Nine-State History!
The next morning.
Ning Zheng glanced at Su Yuniang and Ning Jiaojiao returning from the nursery.
These two were filled with excitement, whispering, babbling about meeting new good sisters, murmuring, "We'll keep playing Fight the Landlord together in the future." "Last night's two-on-one, we shouldn't have played it, ended up stunned." "Princess Xin'e sure plays well."
"So, they spent the whole night fighting the landlord?"
Ning Zheng paused for a moment, not paying much attention, and plucked the Embers Three Flowers fully loaded upon return.
Quickly absorbing and exhaling the energy into his body.
The feeling of fullness and abundance surged through his entire being, prompting Ning Zheng to exhale contentedly:
"I have a good heart, can't become a ruthless Tribulation Cultivator, taking others' labor... I only rob my own embers, rob myself."
Of course.
Other living people couldn't possess embers either.
"Brother, it's time to eat." Ning Jiaojiao called out.
"Just leave it there."
He sat cross-legged, as the energy within continuously digesting, he aimed to safely break through to the second realm of the Three Elements Realm—the Qi Realm.
"Oh well, probably at a crucial moment in cultivation, we'll eat by ourselves." Su Yuniang said generously.
After all, when they built the prison, they occasionally got so busy they didn't have time to eat.
"Such a pity."
Ning Jiaojiao said, "This time my brother didn't get to see the princess bathe, otherwise it would've been the story of the cowherd and the weaver girl, a high and mighty princess for sure."
Su Yuniang apparently had told Ning Jiaojiao the legend of the cowherd and weaver girl.
In Ning Jiaojiao's view.
Her family was impoverished, a small village, a minor power.
All villagers, able to enter the nursery, randomly entering that Secret Realm, meeting important figures... if one could seize the opportunity to marry a princess, it would surely be the tale of a poor scholar marrying a goddess from the sky, a fantastical adventure indeed.
Ning Zheng didn't pay attention to the chatter outside, continuing his cultivation.
By noon.
He finally exhaled a long stream of white Muddy Qi, spreading rapidly, filling the room with fog.
This was the soul's impurities being purified.
"Just completing the First Realm feels much more energized mentally, thinking clearly."
Ning Zheng's eyes could see the world more clearly, time seemed to slow, obviously his thinking speed was accelerating.
Stepped out.
Found Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang had gone out to play again.
Ning Zheng shook his head, indifferent, while pondering deeper reasons:
"Ning Jiaojiao was only ten-something when she died, Su Yuniang was just barely in her twenties, truly a playful age, logic stuck there."
"Even after ten thousand years, they would maintain this lively age, going out to play every day, keeping the same activities from their past life, fishing, cooking."
The next few million years would be endless repetition of this logic.
Ning Zheng couldn't help feeling it was somewhat terrifying.
Living people grow with time, their mindset changes, wisdom matures, becomes experienced, even ultimately stagnant.
But Ghosts don't.
This is why Ning Zheng often ignored these two.
"They're like a... program."
Ning Zheng also learned this term on the forum,
"Not sure when this logic program will truly awaken, truly live."
He shook his head, thinking too much was useless.
Ning Zheng sat in the courtyard's snowy ground, watching the distant mountain scenery, quietly stabilizing his cultivation before finding time to check the forum.
The forum was filled with various experimental posts.
[Night Mad Cultivator: Preliminary Experiment Record Post]
"Synthesis has been attempted several times, seeking Zhang Huaping for some low-level animals, demon beasts for procurement."
"After roughly figuring out the pattern, will find Sword Fairy's Capital City channels, inquire about Xinyi Sales, get some high-tier demon beasts for synthesis."
"Current rules are as follows."
Their actions were swift and decisive, Ning Zheng took a look at the rules they researched.
A total of three synthesis guidelines.
1. Same type + same type = same type.
They conducted several sets of experiments, chickens, ducks, fish, worms, insects, Meat Field.
Same type demon beast synthesis results, like chicken + chicken = chicken, and 100% survival rate.
But after survival, all are shells without souls, akin to vegetative states, resembling puppet life.
It's worth mentioning.
After synthesis, all non-egg-laying animals become egg-laying.
For instance, dog + dog becomes dog egg, quite absurd.
It's worth mentioning, Meat Field + Meat Field also becomes an egg, still the same pre-life creature.
This shows, not needing complete biological corpses, as long as the bloodline energy is sufficient.
Low Tier requires complete corpses, Middle Tier needs a piece of meat, higher tiers might only need a drop of blood.
Night Mad Cultivator wrote this and left a question:
"What do you think will happen if we synthesize the blood of a Saint? Saint's egg?"
Below are a bunch of snarky responses to this question.
Too radical, twisted, eccentric, crazy, Ning Zheng won't elaborate one by one.
2. Same species + different species = hybrid variety
Just like the lions + tigers in the zoo might give birth to a liger, the principle here is similar.
The closer the Demon Beast species, the higher the survival rate.
This proves that the Yin Yang Creation Furnace's principle is akin to the belly of a mysterious mother.
It's like two life forms tossed into a container, infused with potent aphrodisiacs, forcing them to reproduce regardless of the differences between their races.
Night Mad Cultivator wrote this and left a question:
"We've tried, it's not just with animals, plant + another plant = mutated plant, which may also cultivate Spiritual Roots! Spirit Farmer Old Deng next door, hurry and splash Gold Coins, you're bound to come here and spend money! Madly dash for Spirit Plants to make new mutated Spiritual Roots!"
And the Spirit Farmer Mudworker next door wasn't one to be outdone: "Every time you lay eggs, you need a large amount of Spirit Plant Liquid to incubate. You, Old Deng, should be the one splashing Gold Coins on us!"
Everyone is discussing below.
"666! Mutual splash of Gold Coins."
"Damn, that's awesome."
"Alright."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've thought of a new venture, like for a couple, tossing his wife's flesh + another man's flesh into the Creation Furnace, will it give birth to a new baby? Then I take the child and blackmail her: Madam, who did you have this baby with? You don't want your husband to know, do you?"
"Defying the heavens, what a crazy forum user, is your thinking normal?"
"Are you okay?"
"Let's hope something happens to him."
"Hope he's defeated by disease."
"Hahaha, I actually think this reverse 'paternity test' could let our manor madly exploit others."
"Hehehe, spreading cuckoldry across the land."
"Is this actually another little detail of planning?"
"Awesome."
...
The topic went off track again.
Ning Zheng's face darkened, could you all stop freaking out.
He quietly looks at the third rule.
3: Ore + ore = fused ore.
The Old Dengs from the blacksmith shop didn't expect it, did you? Our synthesis also works for your place, and you can splash Gold Coins like the Spirit Plant area.
Are you still stuck at low-level technology, unable to perfectly fuse two ores in the furnace?
We're here to help you cheat.
Fusion technique comparable to Divine Craftsman skills, and even based on the ore ratio thrown in, achieve perfect fusion, making you pretend to be True God Craftsmen.
Lazily crafting technology that greatly lowers the difficulty, right here with us, blacksmiths come splash Gold Coins!
Everyone totally exploded.
"Have any blacksmith brothers tried this, is it real?"
"Effective! Technology changes life, perfect fusion, whether it's two kinds of forging Spiritual Materials, however hard and soft, or a dozen, they can mix incomparably evenly, basic skills only Divine Craftsmen have."
"Damn, the fusion of advanced forging materials tests skill the most, super advanced Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, the timing controlled, the force and number of hammerings... It's a super difficult subject, needs someone here to forge without a hammer, not even using a furnace, going for technological forging, other Divine Craftsmen must say it's dishonorable."
"Hahaha, what do you know? No furnace, this is called cold fusion method."
"This lowers the difficulty for blacksmiths in the future."
"You ********, it's like making dumplings, your kind of technological forging has no soul! No pure craftsmanship spirit!"
"Hehe, products of the Yin Yang Forging Furnace currently indeed lack soul."
"I love soulless production lines."
"Alright, I need to go mingle at the blacksmith shop next door, this is getting more profitable."
"I suggest going to the Spirit Farmer area, that's even more profitable, those livestock have been raking in big money lately, indeed farming leads to riches."
"Go to the Alchemy Room, newly opened area, Night Mad Cultivator that beast is hosting the new synthesis furnace."
...
"This Night Mad Cultivator is quite good at hype, igniting topics."
Ning Zheng looked over these three temporary use rules for the Yin Yang Forging Furnace, couldn't help but marvel at how comprehensive they were.
In just a day, they've researched to this extent.
Mudworker's "Shining God" still under study.
Night Mad Cultivator, likely set to truly take off.
Compared to Sun Moon, reaching out to everyone in the Nine-State, the potential and practicality of Night Mad Cultivator's "Yin Yang Creation Furnace" are astonishingly immense!
The manor is likely to usher in a huge leap forward.
Indeed, hobby is the strongest drive for improving technology.
"This high-level player is quite the talent, no less than Jiucai Rong!"
Ning Zheng sighed, "One responsible for exploitation, another for expansion."
Sometimes, talent is the most important.
Otherwise, some Major Sects, Holy Lands wouldn't be keen on snatching those prodigies, talents.
