Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1201 - 934: Feeding Experiment

First you drain their Lifespan, then you pollute them into an eerie slice. So far, the feedback is that this two-birds-one-stone method is totally workable.

And judging from the Tian Brothers’ performance, you could even call it perfect!

Originally, as Cultivators, their HP bar was already pitifully low, in the most fragile "one hit from death" state, but the moment they were polluted into eerie beings, their HP bar instantly went back to full.

So Jiang Yuan got really curious: if he held back a little during slicing and didn’t cut them to death, then after they got polluted and gained that undying, indestructible eerie trait, could they self-recover?

If you give them some food and drink so they can slowly refill their HP bar, you can totally find a suitable dungeon and set up a massive eerie farm!

Think about it: slice each eerie into a few dozen pieces and stop, wait a bit for them to be fattened up again, then slice again. As long as you’re raising enough eerie beings, you can harvest every single day.

Those slice tasks the system issues—tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even several hundred thousand—wouldn’t they become super easy to clear?

After all, if he relied only on the eerie beings he found himself, how could there possibly be that many?

The farm idea is feasible, so he should mobilize every connection he has and go on a massive hunt for Evil Cultivators across all realms.

First, to drain their Lifespan; second, to help the entire Cultivation Realm get rid of a batch of walking safety hazards; and third, of course, to provide an endless stream of slices, farm tasks, and rack up rewards.

A multi-win situation!

Thinking this, while Jiang Yuan felt all smug inside, he also felt a bit sinister. He mocked himself, saying, "If it weren’t using violence to curb violence, and if the ones I’m dealing with weren’t all heinous scumbags, I’d really look like an Evil Cultivator."

"Gurgle~ glug glug~"

The two blobs of gelatin in the net started bubbling, then, with amazing elasticity, once again split out a head, torso, and four limbs from the lump.

At first glance it looked a bit like the big bad from that childhood nightmare movie Terminator reforming, and the Speed was crazy fast, restoring a human form in an unbelievable way.

The eerie Tian Cheng was still pinned under the net, but that didn’t stop it from sitting up, staring at its power-filled hands, cracking its neck with a series of clicks, savoring the wonderful sensation of suddenly gaining new life and endless power pouring into its body from the brink of death.

Only now did it realize that all those rumors about eerie beings were actually true!

"Though the process was very painful and terrifying, thinking about it now, what’s so scary about becoming an eerie being? I’m a not-dying-not-destroyed eerie!" Its cold eyes locked onto Jiang Yuan as it taunted, "So what if you, as an Evil Cultivator, can cultivate the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill?

At the end of the day, you’re still just a Cultivator. But I’m an eerie! A terrifying existence that is undying and indestructible.

Thanks for the opportunity, hahaha. You thought this was punishment? No! This is clearly a reward! Now, we brothers will fight you two with our Undying Bodies!

That pathetic old man is just a Writer—when it comes to fighting he’s not even as good as a random Alchemist; and you, kid, what can a mere Cultivator do to me?"

Tian Kuo also got up. After being polluted, it had completely opened the door to a brand new world and was now both excited and thrilled.

Previously, it thought it would die horribly, and it didn’t even dare imagine what it would become after pollution. Never expected to actually become stronger!

Tian Kuo, who used to be timid as a mouse, finally grew a backbone, smugly saying, "So this is the body and power of an eerie? The world has been spreading nonsense, yet has no idea how awesome it is to become one!

Bro, stop wasting words with them. That old man’s an eerie too, undying and indestructible, so we can ignore him for now. Let’s first beat this brat half to death and refine him into our Puppet!"

"Uh..." The old scholar couldn’t help massaging his forehead at that. "You two don’t actually think the advantage is on your side, do you?"

Jiang Yuan, who’d been quietly observing, seemed to realize something and asked, "Sir, why are they so confident after becoming eerie beings? These newborns you polluted out are basically eerie beings you personally created. Don’t you have any sort of direct suppression ability?"

He was thinking of how vampires creating the next generation would have some kind of elder-child relationship attribute.

If eerie beings don’t have a hierarchical system based on who polluted whom, then it’s probably like zombies—once polluted you’re just the same species, and whoever is stronger gets to be the big shot.

"If all the eerie beings I polluted could be directly suppressed by me, why would I need to cooperate with you?"

The old scholar admitted bluntly, "My plan was to first find a way to make them submit, then look for a chance to slip out. Pollute the whole world into my disciples and grand-disciples, all of them treating me as the ancestor with utmost respect—using your words, that would be straight-up bliss!

But considering that other Cultivators, once turned into eerie beings, might end up stronger than me, I wouldn’t be able to boss anyone around, couldn’t enjoy the perks of power, and would still have to starve... Thinking about it, your idea made more sense, so here I am teaming up with you."

"Kid, prepare to die!" The Tian Brothers’ tough-guy lines were completely ignored, and they immediately flew into a rage. Even though they couldn’t break free from the broken net, they still confidently struck a fighting pose.

The slap to the face came too fast—just one second later, they realized that while their energy was abundant, they didn’t have a shred of Spiritual Power left to use.

Without Spiritual Power, how were they supposed to use those murderous Evil Techniques they’d cultivated?

Jiang Yuan: ...

Day after day, you two sure love overacting.

"From the moment you became eerie beings, you already lost all your methods and abilities." The old scholar sighed. "You could say the Creator God isn’t fair. While granting us the trait of being undying and indestructible, He also cut off our link to Spiritual Energy.

If you know what’s good for you, then hurry up and spell out all the Pill Formulas and Cultivation Techniques Jiang needs, no holding back. Maybe you can still keep your lives."

Tian Cheng had just gone through too much in one day; his mind was completely scrambled. Dazed, he asked, "Then how come you can still write?"

The old scholar didn’t even look up, snorting, "The Writing Cultivation Technique I practice only requires copying methods. No need for Spiritual Power. Cut the crap and talk!"
