Chapter 86 Another Mutated Spiritual Artifact! The Perfect Method of Use!

Chapter 85 Another Mutated Spiritual Artifact! The Perfect Method of Use!

Zhu Que waited in the cave for more than an hour.

During this time, he studied the replica of the Thousand Soul Banner and gradually figured out how to use this magical artifact.

A moment later, faint noises came from the cave entrance, and little ghosts floated back one after another.

"Big brother, we're back!"

"We caught so many!"

"This one is so hard to catch!"

The cave became lively again.

Zhu Que took a look and saw that the "spoils" these little guys brought back were indeed quite diverse—

There were flies and mosquitoes, rats and snakes, as well as rabbits, frogs, birds, and even a shivering stray dog.

Let's try them one by one.

Zhu Que should start by trying with the smallest organisms.

Flies and mosquitoes.

Zhu Que held the Thousand Soul Banner and urged spiritual energy to flow into the flagpole.

The Thousand Soul Banner fluttered gently, its crimson spirit patterns flashing by, and a wisp of black mist seeped from its surface.

Zhu Que's palm trembled slightly, and the flies and mosquitoes died instantly.

He tried to use the Thousand Soul Banner to bind their souls.

however.

The Thousand Soul Banner showed no reaction.

"Don't beings at this level even have a soul?"

Zhu Que muttered something to himself and continued trying the next creature—

mouse.

It was a large, grayish-brown rat, struggling desperately and emitting piercing squeaking noises.

Zhu Que pinched his fingers, and with a "crack," the rat's neck bone broke.

He immediately activated the Thousand Soul Banner.

And this time...

As the black mist spread, a grayish-white aura wafted out from the rat's corpse, and the rat's outline could still be vaguely discerned.

The Thousand Soul Banner pulled its soul from its corpse.

"call!"

The Thousand Soul Banner trembled slightly.

The black mist, carrying a grayish-white aura, was swallowed up by the Thousand Soul Banner.

Zhu Que immediately and clearly sensed that the first soul had appeared among the thousand soul banners.

He activated his spiritual energy once more.

next moment.

The Thousand Soul Banner fluttered without wind, and a grayish-white aura emanated from it, transforming into a phantom image of a rat in mid-air.

The rat was slightly larger than it had been in life, with bloodshot eyes, baring its teeth, and exuding a violent and chilling aura.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Que raised his hand and pointed to a stone not far away.

"go!"

The rat's soul servant immediately transformed into a gray shadow and pounced on the stone, smashing it and cracking it.

"Bang!"

Then, the rat's spirit servant bared its teeth and claws, tearing and biting wildly, destroying the stone into rubble all over the ground.

"return."

As soon as Zhu Que had a thought, the rat soul servant immediately flew back and disappeared into the banner of the Thousand Soul Banner.

"It's a success!"

Zhu Que was overjoyed.

He then conducted experiments on other small animals, such as snakes, frogs, birds, and rabbits.

turn out-

Only creatures that are small in size and have a complete soul can be bound and refined into soul servants by the Thousand Soul Banner.

Larger animals, such as wild dogs, cannot be restrained or tamed.

"Humans and creatures that are too large or have excessive vitality cannot be restrained or refined by the Thousand Soul Banner."

"So, does that mean my Thousand Soul Banner isn't considered a forbidden spiritual artifact?"

Zhu Que muttered to himself.

The taboo of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner lies in the fact that it must restrain and refine human souls, which is explicitly prohibited by the authorities.

But the Thousand Soul Banner is different. It can only restrain and refine small animals. Even if it wanted to refine humans as soul servants, it couldn't restrain them at all.

Aside from potential objections from animal rights organizations, it doesn't violate any laws or regulations.

"At least it won't be considered taboo, right?"

Zhu Que was very satisfied with the side effects of the Thousand Soul Banner.

After all, even if the Thousand Soul Banner could truly restrain and refine human souls, it wasn't so depraved as to refine human souls.

"If they were death row inmates, I might consider it, but there aren't that many death row inmates."

Zhu Que shook his head, realizing the key problem at hand: where to get so many small animals?

Scattered captures are definitely not realistic.

That would be too slow, even with the help of these little ghosts, the efficiency would still be very low.

In the long run, we could set up a small animal farm and raise some fierce little animals such as rats, weasels, and ferrets.

But now it seems that rats are more suitable.

They are numerous, reproduce quickly, and are quite aggressive, making them very suitable for restraint and refining.

Where are there the most rats?

Zhu Que thought for a moment, and the image of Song Wugui appeared in his mind!

"By the way! A place like the Xilan Research Institute must need a lot of laboratory mice for its research experiments!"

"I'll ask him about the source of the rats at the research institute tomorrow."

Zhu Que made up his mind, carefully put away the Thousand Soul Banner, and then looked at the group of hungry little ghosts.

"Congratulations on completing your mission! It's lunchtime!"

"Yay! Time to eat!"

The little ghosts cheered and jumped for joy.

Zhu Que cultivated from midnight until dawn.

He ate something, played and sparred with the little ghosts for a while, and then immersed himself in the creation of magical artifacts.

These days, he has been trying out new methods to replicate magical artifacts—

By replicating the magical artifact within the Time Sequence Secret Realm, he effectively gained five times the time for replication.

-

This is basically useless when there is little demand for imitation, since imitating magical artifacts doesn't take much time.

But it is different now.

He discovered the probability of "mutated artifacts" and thought of making a large number of imitation artifacts to gamble on the probability of mutation.

Thus, the Time-Sequence Vault came in handy again.

only.

To replicate a magical artifact in the Time-Sequence Secret Realm, one must also wear the Mind-Concentrating Clarity Crown, which has the side effect of amnesia.

Therefore, it is essential to keep records at all times to avoid memory lapses.

Then.

Zhu Que entered the Time Sequence Chamber again and began to create a large number of imitation spiritual artifacts using a pile of old and broken artifacts.

He stayed inside the cabin for about five hours, which translates to a day and a night in the outside world.

He wanted to gamble on two imitation magical artifacts—

The first is the Spirit Gathering Cloth, used for cultivation.

Secondly, it serves as a hand guard for use in combat.

however.

In his attempt to gamble on the mutation of a second-tier spiritual artifact and repeatedly attempt to replicate it, it was actually a first-tier spiritual artifact that underwent the mutation—

[Compressed Badge - Different: Tier 2, Gold Item. Can compress a specified object and store it in a badge.]

[Mutant Trait: Allows for lossless compression of objects.]

"How did this magical artifact mutate—?"

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback.

The original version of this magical artifact was quite useless.

The compression medal can be compressed to store soft items such as clothing and bedding, but it is ineffective against hard items that cannot be compressed.

The counterfeit "Compression Badge" is even less effective; it can forcibly compress hard objects, but it will damage those objects.

For example, a bench can be forcibly compressed and stored in a badge, but once released, it becomes a pile of wood chips.

For this reason, Zhu Que always considered this magical artifact to be a useless item.

After all, the things he really needs to carry are basically hard objects like magical artifacts and broken artifacts.

But this "mutant trait" made Zhu Que raise an eyebrow.

"Lossless compression—I'd like to see what kind of lossless compression this is."

Zhu Que immediately left the Time-Sequence Secret Chamber, took the "Compressed Badge - Alien", and chose a large rock.

To activate spiritual energy.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of light shone from the badge onto the rock.

After being illuminated, the rock began to shrink rapidly, eventually entering the badge along with the light.

Zhu Que activated his spiritual energy again, releasing the rock.

"Snapped!"

The rock fell to the ground.

Zhu Que examined it and found that the entire stone was intact, without even a single crack.

"This is a good thing!"

Zhu Que's eyes lit up immediately.

Immediately afterwards, he came up with an extremely perfect way to use the Time Sequence Secret Realm Pod!

The void space inside this magical artifact is extremely large, and it can store various magical artifacts and old, broken artifacts.

If the Time-Traveling Vault Pod could be stored in the badge —

Wouldn't that mean he would have a personal storage space with "extremely large internal space"?
