Chapter 2156: Times have changed
Unlike most cultivators, the people in Hongyeling come from a technological society and are not very averse to certain extreme research.
In the age of interstellar navigation, humans face too many unknowns. If conditions permit, we should try our best to understand their mechanisms.
For unknown viruses or organisms, even if we know they are dangerous, how can we find ways to control them if we don’t study them?
So whether it was Jing Yuexin or Qing Hu, they just thought that the people in Kuhai were a little crazy.
But then, Rhine said, "I know about this because someone thinks Claire is suitable for raising demons."
Jing Yuexin and Qing Hu were speechless upon hearing this.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this statement. Claire's dark attributes are quite similar to those of the devil.
But the person who made this suggestion may not have had good intentions. Dorgan said coldly, "Who made the suggestion?"
"One of Hall Master Jiang's subordinates," Rhine answered seriously.
She had been in charge of the entire Earl's Mansion in the past and had considerable experience in dealing with similar matters.
Rhine believed that the other party had a background and origin, and Jiang Hui was very kind to Hongyeling and should not have any ill intentions.
The most crucial thing is that among the five major forces, the one that is most inclined to oppose raising the devil is the Star Palace.
The Academy of Arts held a moderate view on this, believing that although it was risky, only by knowing yourself and the enemy could you win every battle.
However, the academy has never had the technique to raise demons, so they won’t bother with it.
On the contrary, the book pavilions that focus on the spirit of righteousness tend to support it. They believe that "you can't get the tiger cub without risking it."
The Dao Palace emphasizes restraint, while the Star Palace tends to oppose it - once it gets out of control, this world will be in chaos.
So Rhine thought that the other party was just making a simple suggestion.
The key to the problem lies with Claire. "She is a little tempted by this suggestion and wants to do something on her own."
The little gangster girl of the past, seeing that everyone has started to make efforts in their respective fields, finally couldn't bear to be left out.
"Well..." Jing Yuexin nodded thoughtfully, "I'll find time to discuss this with the boss."
Claire is the youngest member of the original team. Many people have watched her grow up, and the feelings they have for her are really different.
No one interfered with her being a little gangster in high spirits. If she wants to do something serious, then people will definitely consider supporting her.
Although raising a demon... doesn't sound very serious.
"Boss...are you still busy?" Qing Hu blinked, "Or haven't recovered well enough?"
"The main thing is that there is nothing else to do," Jing Yuexin smiled.
"He's not even letting go of the girls now, and he's doing all kinds of research all day long. Let him be."
A few days later, Dai Wanwan stepped forward and brought back Claire who was stationed outside.
At the same time, news came out that Hongyeling was considering the possibility of raising demons as experimental subjects.
At this moment in Dongsheng, nothing is trivial when it comes to Hongyeling.
Two days later, Master Jiang of the Star Hall was specially teleported here to learn about the situation, and Master Yulin arrived shortly after.
Qu Jianlei did not show up, but explained the situation to the other party through Jing Yuexin.
She said that Lord Qu Ling thought that raising some demons for experiments was a good idea, at least it was better than passively waiting.
As for the specific conditions and steps, you can study them slowly.
Lord Qu Ling was also willing to cooperate and, through divination and other means, found a way to avoid possible risks.
The biggest problem now is where the nourishment will come from if we want to raise the demon.
According to Lord Qu Ling, the basic survival condition for the demons is to collect some demon energy.
But that is just a living environment. If you want to grow and become stronger, you still need physical resources, such as qi, blood, and soul.
The most suitable carrier of resources is human cultivators, followed by ordinary humans, and then spiritual beasts...
Qu Jianlei believes this is the biggest difficulty.
Someone suggested that we could consider using death row prisoners. No matter which world it is, there will always be people who are extremely evil.
Even in a place like Dongsheng where the population is so scattered that it cannot be more scattered, and where there is no government at all, there are still people who are generally recognized as worthy of being killed.
However, Qu Jianlei believed that no matter how those guys deserved to die, as an intelligent race, they could not force their own kind to be fed to alien races.
Jiang Hui strongly agreed with Lord Qu Ling's statement that the human race is born noble and other races are not worthy of touching them.
Of course, there are some guys who are not worthy of being called human beings, that is another matter.
But she has a solution. The Star Palace receives a large number of demonic alerts every day, including people possessed by demons and corpses.
Not to mention those who are possessed by demons, those corpses are dead, but they may be controlled by the demons at any time, so they must be completely eliminated.
In order to eliminate the demons and their corpses some time ago, the Star Palace specially opened up immigration to Xiniu Huaizhou and offered many preferential treatments.
It can be seen from this that this processing step is extremely troublesome, laborious and thankless.
Master Jiang said that if Hongyeling is willing to help deal with it, we can help transport it for free.
Only living humans have dignity. The corpses of these demons are not only dead, but must also be ground into ashes.
In this case, it wouldn't be a big deal to recycle the waste, right? Not only can it reduce our own consumption, but the deceased can also have a positive cause and effect.
The last sentence has a bit of a cold joke in it. Since you’re going to die anyway, why bother about cause and effect?
However, the Star Palace is very sure that this is true!
The Cangwu Realm had never encountered a celestial demon before, but there were many comparable events.
If the deceased can make contributions to the Cangwu world, it is normal for him to benefit future generations given the previous causes.
In many cases, the deceased has related obsessions that can benefit friends, teachers... and even strangers!
The law of cause and effect is so powerful.
Jing Yuexin had no doubts and no hesitation. She said straightforwardly that this was the best of both worlds and a good thing.
Seeing her so happy, Hall Master Jiang was also very happy, "But I have to make it clear that the Star Hall still has the responsibility of supervision..."
It wasn't that she wanted to be difficult, but she couldn't just ignore the corpses of these demons after they were sent out, right?
"How about we get involved, so we can take some credit and get some resources from the upper realm?"
“Master Jiang, you have such a thick face…” Applause rang out, and Master Yulin walked in with a smile.
She clapped and spoke, "I'm just curious, how could you say that?"
Then she looked at Jing Yuexin, "Fairy Jing, my book pavilion is willing to use our imperial techniques and participate in this matter."
The six arts in the library include rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. The art of charioteering is not a simple art of taming beasts, it is much more complicated.
Jing Yuexin's face turned strange, "Shuge... is also interested?"
"We don't reject it," Master Yulin replied seriously, "but my senior brother is a little ill, so I haven't been able to predict it."
“Since Hongyeling is willing to try, my senior brother hopes that both parties can join forces to create a good story together!”
Your senior brother wants to confirm who ruined the Spring Examination Pen? Jing Yuexin nodded expressionlessly, "That's great."
The eldest brother had told her that, in order to raise a demon, besides food, the second biggest difficulty was controlling it.
Shu Ge's beast taming skills are different from Elder Jiao's beast taming skills, and they will definitely provide more ideas.
"Fairy Jing, my Xingchen Palace also has the art of controlling!" Hall Master Jiang couldn't help but said, "Ritual music is even better."
"Jiang Hui, you are really a bit inexplicable!" Master Yulin frowned and directly called out the name, obviously very unhappy.
"I'm not rejecting you. Why are you targeting the library?"
"You start blaming me right away," Jiang Huike was no pushover, "and you still say you're not targeting me?"
"I'm talking about what cooperation the Book Pavilion can offer," Master Yulin asked indifferently, "What about you? A corpse?"
"The Star Hall has a Soul Locking Banner," Jiang Hui replied proudly, "It can lock up wandering souls in heaven and earth. Is that enough?"
This is a treasure bestowed by the upper realm. It has very powerful functions, but its main function... is to maintain order among the human race.
Although they are also treasures related to spiritual attacks, the differences between humans and demons are objectively existing.
In this demonic invasion, the Soul-Locking Banner is a professionally matched magic weapon.
However, the cost of driving this treasure is too high, and its effect against demons is not very strong.
Therefore, in the eyes of those in the know, the Soul-Locking Banner can only exert its greatest power by utilizing the Star Palace's mountain protection formation.
"Stop it," Jing Yuexin waved her hand calmly. She had heard her friend talk about this treasure and knew its drawbacks.
"You should keep that thing in the Star Palace. I don't need it in Red Leaf Ridge, and I can't afford it!"
"Why can't I afford it?" Jiang Hui shook her head and said casually, "I'll pay for it."
Seeing the other party standing there in a daze, she smiled smugly again, "Under normal maintenance conditions, the cost is not high."
"The serious thing is that I can bring it out of the temple, which can be regarded as sincerity, right?"
In a few words, the three of them finalized the three-way cooperation and then called Claire over.
Although the little gangster girl was lawless, she could only listen silently to the rules set by the three Yuanying masters.
The key is that one of them is her own boss Jing, so she has to endure it even if she is unwilling!
At this time, another person came in. It was Immortal Qi Ya. "Boss Jing, Lao Pian...Brother Chao Yun is back."
"Then come back," Jing Yuexin raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's the time to use people... something happened?"
"Not really," Qi Ya Zhenxian replied seriously, "just some casualties."
"Loss is normal," Jing Yuexin replied calmly, "We emphasized voluntary participation at the time, and those who did not commit to going can come back."
This is the rule for exploring secret places. If there is no danger, wouldn’t it become tourism?
The key point is, "Are our people not killed?"
"How is this possible?" A hearty laugh was heard, and Paranoid and Mu Yu walked in.
There was a hint of fatigue between their brows, but they seemed to be in good spirits.
The paranoid man said seriously, "Boss Jing, those Taoist friends are leaving. Do you want to see them off?"
This problem did not exist before, and most practitioners did not like these red tapes.
However, Hongyeling is now increasingly showing a trend of becoming a benchmark for Dongsheng, and the corresponding human relationships and social etiquette should be taken more seriously.
Otherwise people will see you as arrogant, which is not good.
This can be considered another manifestation of the changing times.
