Chapter 310 The other side
In order to promote sales, Li Qi originally collected some samples of the Holy Flame as display products.
In the power system of the Holy Flame Clan, those who can reach the first level are already very, very powerful individuals, so the ninth level Holy Flame is actually produced by the strong.
There are only a small number of eighth-grade people, no more than a hundred people at most.
As for the seventh grade... there are only four or five people.
The only sixth-grade one is the Holy King, and he is still semi-disabled.
This is also the reason why Li Qi wants to revitalize the Holy Flame Realm.
Only a prosperous Holy Flame Realm can continuously provide Holy Flames. Li Qi does not want to rule the world. Most of the materials in the Holy Flame Realm are difficult for him to handle, and there is no way to process them into wealth. If they can all be converted into The Holy Flame would be the best.
After taking out the ninth-grade holy flame, Liu Shenzhi took it and asked, "How much is this thing worth?"
"It's a bit more expensive than the remnant souls of monster beasts, but that's mainly because it can't beat the slaughterhouse." Li Qi said.
In fact, it should be cheaper.
Judging from the production process, Holy Flames are not only more numerous but also of higher quality than Remnant Souls.
As products of pure spiritual resonance, they are extremely psychoactive and reproducible.
A ninth-grade monster can only produce a ninth-grade remnant soul once in its life. A ninth-grade holy flame tribesman, with good rest and good nutrition, can produce more than ten ninth-grade holy flames a year.
In theory, Holy Flame would be cheaper.
But there is no way...
There are just too many remnant souls of monster beasts that can be humane.
Unlike the shamanistic mentality of leaving beasts to grow naturally and letting humans and monsters compete on their own, treating them equally, humanity really operates breeding farms and slaughterhouses.
Not to mention other places, just in Chang'an, millions of monsters are slaughtered and broken down every day, and then their body parts are hung in the market for people to buy.
One year is easily hundreds of millions of residual souls.
Meat is something that grows from other animals. The hundreds of millions of people in Chang'an eat meat every day, practice cultivation, and have so many magical weapons. It's not something that was conjured.
Therefore, the number of remnant souls of monster beasts is also extremely large. Such a huge number is enough to keep the cost down, so the price of remnant souls of monster beasts is actually a little cheaper than that of the Holy Flame.
However, Li Qi felt that the first market should have been found.
It is true that the holy flame cannot completely replace the remnant soul, because the remnant soul has other uses and can be used in various places. If it is not possible, it can be burned as fuel, but the holy flame cannot be burned.
But when it comes to feeding wizard silkworms, the Holy Flame is much better than the Remnant Soul.
Therefore, even if the price is more expensive, he thinks Liu Shenzhi will still choose Shengyan.
"It's more expensive... that's fine. Brother Li, how much can you provide me with? The amount I need shouldn't be much. After all, you know, research is not mass production after all." Liu Shenzhi also understood what Li Qi was saying. Meaning, he simply made the request.
But Li Qi was not prepared to accept the money.
He said: "No, it's just some ninth-grade holy flames. It doesn't hurt to give it to Brother Liu. Moreover, I am also somewhat interested in your magic weapon silkworm. I'm afraid this thing will not be that simple in the future. I don't know the size of this thing, Brother Liu. Can it carry the wisdom of you and me?"
Hearing Li Qi's words, Liu Canzhi was stunned at first, and then overjoyed!
"That's natural! With Brother Li's help! The magic weapon silkworm will definitely achieve something!"
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from outside. It was Liu Junyi's voice: "Shenzhi, my uncle asked you to take classmate Li Qi to have a drink with you."
"Okay! Come here!" Liu Shenzhi was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Witchcraft Silkworm, if another young master’s resources and wisdom are invested in it, I am afraid it can really serve as the basis for his promotion to the seventh level!
You know, although Liu Shenzhi has a way to practice humanity——
But in essence, he is a practitioner of reason.
Li Qi smiled and simply threw the holy flame to Liu Shenzhi.
Only the faint sound of the holy flame was heard, emitting its light for the first time in the world.
It is a certain light of hope, a new technology, the birth of a new method.
————————————
The Endless Territory, the Holy Flame Realm.
The holy flame radiates light in the darkness.
Bai Gaga... no, it's Gaga. He has given up this surname and cannot be called that.
Gaga, stood in a pool of blood, with four or five burning holy flames floating around, quietly emitting light.
In this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, the holy flame seemed to be emitting light of despair.
The Holy Flame is the product of the spiritual resonance of the Holy Flame tribesmen, and spiritual resonance is the strongest in both cases.
One is what the Green Mountain God longs for, which is the resonance generated in large-scale group sacrifices. Everyone worships the same statue of the god. The quality of the holy flame generated by such resonance will be quite high.
Another kind is...the battlefield, or the slaughterhouse.
Death, despair, fear, rage, murderous intent, and countless negative emotions resonate, and a holy flame will be born.
There is not much difference between the holy flames produced by the two. In terms of applicability, there is basically no difference, although in fact it will cause emotional differences.
Holy flames such as large-scale sacrifices or prayers contain positive emotions, hope, desire, etc.
The holy flame born on the battlefield or during killing will make people irritable.
However, the negative emotions or positive emotions contained in it...actually look similar to practitioners.
External emotions are bad, whether they are positive or negative, they are all garbage.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy must come from one's own heart. Although the overly strong emotions of the Holy Flame increase the activity of this thing, it also makes the user affected by the emotions.
Of course, the impact is not big. If you can’t even control external emotions, then stop practicing and go back to farming.
Therefore, in the eyes of Li Qi and others, there is no difference between the two holy flames.
However, in the eyes of the Holy Flame tribesmen themselves, the difference is huge.
As Gaga walked on the battlefield, the entire plain seemed to have been splashed with the blood of the Holy Flame tribesmen.
Countless corpses were crushed back and forth by spells and crowds. After being trampled several times, they turned dark red and even felt a little sticky when stepped on.
While walking, people can understand what "the liver and the brain are wiped out".
He didn't even want to touch those holy flames.
But...there is no way not to touch it.
Because, since he got the technique, he knew one thing.
The technique condensed a 'door' in his body.
He can throw the holy flame into this door and unlock different spells and martial arts.
Of course, unlocking is not about learning it directly, but it will give him a certain kind of memory, and he can learn with this memory to get twice the result with half the effort.
If it were Li Qi, he would be very familiar with this method.
The most commonly used method to spread Kung Fu in the world is the inheritance of divine will.
This technique seems to be some kind of insatiable devouring machine. It can eat as many holy flames as it wants. As long as the amount offered is enough, the more rewards he will get.
With such blessing, he was able to survive to this day, to survive in this troubled world, and even in the middle of the battlefield just now.
However, personal force can only allow him to survive.
There is a certain cosmic light difference between the Holy Flame Realm and the world, about one day equals two days.
In the endless outside world, this is a normal deviation of the universe light, because the universe light is a relative value, not an absolute value.
Li Qi felt that a month had passed, but in fact, two months had passed.
These past two months...have been hell.
A sixth-grade world has a population of hundreds of billions. The footprints of the Holy Flame tribe are all over the world. He doesn't know what the places he hasn't seen look like.
But at least what he saw now was the pain of hitting rock bottom.
Many Shengyan tribesmen starved to death, or went crazy from hunger and chose to take desperate risks. Everywhere there were hundreds of disaster victims screaming and begging.
The roads are full of exiles, and the roads are filled with skeletons.
The gloomy wind is miserable, and the ghost is green.
There are food eaters and there are earth eaters.
There are people who groan on the roadside like ghosts, and there are also people who can't even moan and can only freeze in the road and wait for death.
Good people would turn a blind eye when passing by these hungry people.
But when some people pass by these hungry people, they will move them back.
Not burial, but eating.
This kind of scene has happened countless times, so naturally someone will come forward.
Near Gaga, there is a strong man named Gegu. According to the classification of the immortals, he is called ninth grade... According to the Holy Flame community, he is called a 'formal warrior'.
Gegu, a man who roared in the forest, gathered thousands and hundreds of people in the corners of the city to protest, and restored order in a small area, probably several small towns.
Gaga also worked under Gegu. Gegu was very optimistic about him and took Gaga with him to this battle.
However, after the battle, Gaga stayed alone on the battlefield, collecting the holy flame.
The Holy Flame tribe members themselves hate these desperate Holy Flames and feel that they are a bad symbol, so they usually throw them away and let them dissipate naturally.
But Gaga needs to use these things to make herself stronger.
Stronger.
Strong enough to speak out in this troubled world, and be heard by others, just like Gegu.
Halfway through collecting the holy flame, Gaga suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
A voice rang out: "Hey, Quack, why are you still here? Don't you think it's unlucky?"
Gaga looked back and found that it was Gegu.
"Ah, Gegu, I just...can't bear to put these holy flames here, so I'm going to collect them." Gaga said something against his will.
In fact, it is not that noble. He is just preparing to put the holy flame into the strange existence brought by the skill in his body, and then new martial arts and techniques will appear in it, and they are all suitable for him.
But all this is to make his voice heard in this troubled world.
"Collect it... that's fine, it's up to you." A member of the Shengyan clan named Gegu walked up to Gaga and said casually.
He has seen a lot of weird things, so he doesn't ask.
Because, in this era, in today's chaotic world, people will go crazy if they don't persist.
And if a person has persistence, then under certain circumstances, he is no different from a madman.
So Gegu has become accustomed to the quirks of his companions around him.
Gaga likes to collect the Holy Flame of Despair. He also has some who like to overeat, some who refuse to eat meat, some who vomit when they see raw meat, and some who pray three times a day.
People must have some support to maintain the motivation to survive in troubled times.
Gegu never asked where these people's quirks came from, which was why no one hated him.
Gegu didn't hesitate for too long. He quickly got to the point and said to Gaga: "After collecting the things here, go to the east alone. A new city has been built there. It seems that it has great opinions on us. "
"Our grain transport team was attacked by many of their mobile armed forces and repelled many times, but no one was caught alive."
"It was later discovered that they were attacking indiscriminately. They were basically small groups trying to steal food. They would search any place where there might be food, even the corpses."
"It's too dangerous for this kind of force to stay near us. They don't engage in production, they only plunder. We can't keep them. You are the fastest and the best at hiding. Go and see the situation." Gegu said to Gaga.
"Okay, I'll go take a look later." Gaga nodded.
This is why Gaga joined Gegu's team.
No matter how good Gegu was, what he chose to do was to take in the refugees, reclaim wasteland, restore a certain degree of order, and then promote reproduction.
Instead of being like most people in this world, they only know how to coerce other people and constantly plunder other people's living supplies to make themselves rich.
This is already rare in troubled times.
In the past two months, wars and famine had completely destroyed all order and morality, and everything that belonged to the Holy Flame Clan was gone.
People's only thoughts are eating and killing, hunger and violence dominate everything.
When these negative things accumulate too much, people's feelings become numb.
When life is full of barbarism, cruelty, and terror, people will be frightened at first, but after half a month, people will get used to it.
Even Gaga is like that.
He had turned a blind eye to the insects crawling out of the body of the still-living and struggling child.
Buying and selling women and children is a natural thing, even selling children as no one wants them, so they can only feed themselves.
People have become accustomed to all this, and the unimaginable has become ordinary.
What are society's rules? What is the law? What is civilization? What is fairness and justice?
Don’t understand, don’t know.
Only the most primitive instinct remains.
In the first half month, Gaga could only see broken corpses everywhere, blood stains on the ground, and the living people kept vibrating and screaming, but more people seemed to have lost their souls.
It was Gegu who first established order around here and restored everything to a less bad situation.
Therefore, if a new order must be established, Gaga is willing to contribute to Gegu.
"Well, I'm here to tell you this. It's been two months, and the first batch of fast-growing grains planted has almost healed. If we can hold on for another month, we can develop eastward and shelter more people. ." Gegu said.
"Good thing." Gaga nodded, then packed up his things and got ready to set off.
