Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15848

Chapter 15846. Formal Use

“Hell Gate has officially started using Crystal Skulls. It seems that it won’t be long before Hell Gate becomes a sect.” Wan Sheng was reporting to the Blood Slaughter Sect. Now that he was a member of the undead race, he was naturally aligned with the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Hell Gate had indeed officially begun using skeletons. Many of its low-level disciples had already become undead. Of course, to avoid arousing suspicion, these disciples were currently only in a state of living dead. The Hell Gate members were also mass-producing low-level illusion arrays. These arrays weren’t difficult to produce, but the quantity required was large.

Besides illusion arrays, a type of robe had also appeared at Hell Gate. This robe, when worn, could completely conceal a person’s aura and appearance. Such clothing was easier and cheaper to make than illusion arrays. Low-level disciples could easily conceal their appearance with this robe, since they only needed to hide their faces.

Qin Sheng and his group had been observing the skeletons for months, wanting to see any changes. Aside from their skeletal appearance, the skeletons showed no alterations, which reassured them. Finally, three months after the first large-scale use of skeletons to turn lower-level disciples into undead, Qin Sheng summoned all the sect’s elders. Once they arrived, Qin Sheng

said, “Elders, after nearly a year of observation, the skeletons show no other unusual effects after turning people into skeletons. Furthermore, the people from the Demon Blade Sect have been skeletons for almost two years now, and they haven’t experienced any discomfort. I believe the skeletons are safe, and we can use them.”

The elders nodded in agreement. Elder Wu then said, “We can use them, but I think we must carefully select the right people. We can’t be like the Demon Blade Sect…” “In that case, turn everyone into skeletons. After all, our sect still needs new blood, and skeletons can’t reproduce.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all nodded. Qin Sheng’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, “I was only focused on the skeletons and didn’t even think of this. Elder Wu is right, those skeletons can’t reproduce, and that’s probably their biggest problem. If we really turn everyone in the sect into skeletons, then our sect will have no fresh blood to join. This isn’t necessarily a good thing for the sect’s development. Now it seems…” “Using those crystal skulls is fine, so should we stop turning those low-level disciples into skeletons? You know, those low-level disciples are very prolific. If we really turn all the low-level disciples into skeletons, our sect will lose a lot of fresh blood in the future.” All

the Grand Elders nodded, and Elder Wu also spoke up, “Yes, I think that’s the best way. You arrange it. Anyway, many people in the sect already know about this. We need to explain to them clearly what happens when using these crystal skulls.” “Let them consider the side effects themselves, whether they want to become skeletons.”

Qin Sheng nodded in agreement. The elders exchanged glances, and then Elder Wu spoke up, “Let’s use that crystal skull too, since we’re not planning on having any more children anyway.” Everyone

chuckled at his suggestion. Of course, they couldn’t have children, so using the crystal skull was perfect for them. They hadn’t used it before because they were worried about some negative effects, but now it seemed the worst thing about the crystal skull was that it prevented them from having children. So what did they have to worry about? They could just use it.

After hearing Elder Qian’s words, Qin Sheng frowned and said, “Elders, are you really going to do this? You know, if you really turn into skeletons, you can’t turn back.”

One of the Grand Elders sighed and said, “Use it. At least I know how to use it. Although my lifespan may still be a few hundred years, my strength has already begun to decline. I’m afraid it won’t be long before I can no longer maintain my strength at the Kingdom level. It doesn’t matter if you don’t use it; you can hold on for a while longer. But I can’t do without it, so I’ll use it.”

The others knew this Grand Elder. His surname was Luo, and his given name was Luo Qing. He was over a thousand years old, and his strength was indeed slowly declining. If he didn’t use the crystal skeleton, he might be able to maintain his strength at the Kingdom level for about a hundred years. Although he could make his strength return to its peak in a short time, the price would be too high, so he didn’t want to wait.

Others could understand him; after all, once you’ve reached the summit, you don’t want to fall again. Even with the slightest hope, you want to stay on top and not descend. That was Luo Qing’s thought.

After listening to Luo Qing’s words, Qin Sheng thought for a moment and then said, “If that’s the case, then Elder Luo, why don’t you try using that skeleton first and see what it feels like? What do you think?”

Qin Sheng’s meaning was quite clear: let Luo Qing be the test subject to see if there were any problems with the skeleton. If Luo Qing didn’t find anything wrong with these crystal skeletons, then others could use them.

Luo Qing understood his meaning. He took a deep breath and nodded, saying, “Some things always need to be done by someone, so I’ll do it first.” No one else objected, and everyone dispersed. Qin Sheng then gave Luo Qing a crystal skull.

Luo Qing took the crystal skull and returned to his residence. He told his subordinates that he was going into seclusion and not to look for him. Then he left directly, heading to the Gate of Hell, a deserted mountain. To avoid any negative influence, he even released his aura, scaring away all the wild beasts on the mountain. He then carved out a cave and entered. He then took out the crystal skull and placed it before him.

Elder Luo Qing looked to be over seventy years old, but his hair and beard were completely white, though his complexion was ruddy; one could easily call him a youthful-looking man with white hair.

Even so, Luo Qing was still dissatisfied. He would rather become a skeleton and gain immortality, returning to his peak strength, than be like this, where his strength was slowly declining. That was why he wanted to become a skeleton.

After taking out the crystal skull, he carefully examined it, finding nothing special. The entire crystal skull was almost transparent, with nothing particularly remarkable about it.

He looked at it for a long time without figuring anything out, and finally simply placed the crystal skull in front of him. He then sat down and began to cultivate, treating it as a period of seclusion.

He cultivated for more than two hours without noticing any changes in his body. He didn’t care, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, looked around, and then said, “It’s time to go out for a stroll.” After saying that, he walked out of the cave, circled around, and released some pressure, keeping the animals away. Then he returned to the cave and sat down, looking at the crystal skull.

Just then, the crystal skull suddenly lit up. Luo Qing was startled, and the next moment, a rune entered his body. His body stiffened, and it took him a while to recover. Then he let out a long breath and looked at the skull with a complicated expression.

He had now become a member of the undead race. To ensure the success of this plan, Wen Yuming and his team had improved the necromancy array. The current necromancy array could release necromancy runes, and these runes didn’t need to turn people into mummies. Those who were hit by these runes would become undead, but the entire process was completely unaffected. At the same time, he would receive a lot of information about the Blood Slaughter Sect contained in the rune. Luo Qing now knew about the Blood Slaughter Sect, their plans, and his own mission. That’s why his expression was so complicated when he looked at the crystal skull after regaining consciousness. He truly hadn’t expected that the crystal skull was part of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s plan from beginning to end—a plan to conquer the Gates of Hell without bloodshed.

It’s a pity he realized it too late. Now, even if he wanted to regret it, it was too late; he had already become a member of the undead race. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. Then, his mood gradually improved. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s ability to use this plan to directly incorporate the Hell Gate into itself demonstrated their strength. Moreover, through the contents of the runes, he understood the Blood Slaughter Sect; they had the power to launch a direct attack on the Hell Gate and turn everyone there into undead. However, they didn’t do that, opting instead for this relatively gentle but time-consuming method, which was already quite good.

Besides, he was now a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The stronger the Blood Slaughter Sect became, the greater the benefit to him. Naturally, he hoped the Blood Slaughter Sect would grow stronger, so his mood improved considerably. He was very clear that the Blood Slaughter Sect’s plan was flawless; soon everyone in the Hell Gate would become undead, and the Blood Slaughter Sect could truly take over the entire Hell Gate without bloodshed.

That’s why his mood improved. No matter what, the Blood Slaughter Sect had won this time, and the others would join the sect sooner or later anyway, so what was there for him to be sad about? Luo Qing felt much better now. He was curious to see how the others would react when they became undead. Thinking about their expressions made him want to laugh.

He knew he no longer needed the crystal skull, but to avoid arousing Qin Sheng and the others’ suspicion, he would keep it with him for twenty days before returning it to them.
