Chapter 610

The Art of Soul Seeds was equivalent to turning humans into puppets, pure battle machines. Their strength would never improve in their lifetime, and they would never be able to reach the peak again.

They would only end up dying in battle, but their loyalty was one hundred percent.

For Zi Chen, Longhu's arrival was a timely piece of good news. It was like giving a pillow when one was sleepy, or a pie falling from the sky, or sending charcoal in snowy weather. There were only benefits to be had.

Such a method could solve the problem, but it was against human morality. Although it was almost extinct in the Tianwu Continent, it did not mean that it had truly disappeared. It was inevitable for sentimental people to be sentimental.

Zi Chen fell silent and fell into deep thought.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Otherwise, we won't be able to win." Longhu seemed to know what Zi Chen was thinking.

Loyalty was Zi Chen's biggest problem at the moment. If this problem was not solved, their temporary team of Dan Primary Realm cultivators would be destroyed by the factions of the Bedlam Land.

Zi Chen did not hesitate for long. He nodded and said, "Alright, come with me to the Core Formation Pavilion."

When Lv Peng arrived, Longhu and Zi Chen were about to leave.

"We'll be back by nightfall tomorrow. The matter of the formation can wait." With that, Zi Chen disappeared with Longhu.

When Zi Chen and Longhu arrived at the Core Formation Pavilion, the second batch of Dan Primary Realm cultivators had successfully broken through and were ready to head to Zi Chen's area. They were both surprised and overjoyed when they saw Zi Chen.

"Master."

"Master is here."

The twenty Dan Primary Realm cultivators were overjoyed. Obviously, they thought that Zi Chen was here to welcome them.

They were extremely excited when they thought that they would be able to obtain a Dan Weapon as soon as they broke through, and that they would receive a hundred thousand high-grade Primal Stones every year.

However, Zi Chen's expression was the complete opposite of the Dan Primary Realm cultivators. His face was gloomy.

Zi Chen glanced at Longhu. The latter nodded and flew toward the Core Formation Pavilion. There were already twenty cultivators sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, waiting to break through.

"Milord, are you here to receive us?"

"My Lord, we are willing to serve you. We will not hesitate to go through fire and water for you."

The group of Dan Origin experts did not notice Zi Chen's ugly expression. They were very excited and wanted to leave a good impression in front of Zi Chen. Of course, their goal was naturally to obtain a pill weapon.

Zi Chen's gloomy face slowly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He decided to tell these people the truth. "Previously, I recruited a Dan Prime team. There were 680 people, but after the first battle yesterday, only 91 people survived."

At first, the group of Origin Dan experts were shocked by the number of experts Zi Chen had recruited, and their faces were filled with nervousness. They were afraid that Zi Chen would say that the number of Origin Dan experts was enough and that he no longer needed them. However, when they heard the huge number of casualties, they were stunned and their expressions began to change.

"In yesterday's battle, 01 people died on the battlefield," Zi Chen said.

"My Lord, there are 680 people in total, and 91 are still alive. It should be 34 people who died in battle." A Dan Origin expert summoned the courage to correct Zi Chen's mistake.

"No."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Only 91 people really died on the battlefield. The remaining 88 people fled the battlefield because they were afraid of death."

When the group of Origin Dan experts heard this, their expressions changed. Obviously, they had understood the meaning of Zi Chen's words. These 88 Dan Origin Dan experts had fled with their pill weapons.

"Before the battle, in order to boost their morale, I paid each of them 65,555 high-grade yuan stones in advance, and also gave them an additional drop of mid-grade yuan liquid," Zi Chen said again.

This time, the expressions of the Dan Origin experts were completely frozen. While they were shocked by Zi Chen's generosity, there were also some who were envious of these 88 people. They had actually taken a huge amount of money and successfully fled.

However, Zi Chen's following words completely dispelled their similar thoughts. "None of the 88 people who fled left alive."

Ignoring the pale faces of the Dan Origin experts, Zi Chen said coldly, "Now, I will give you one more chance to choose. Stay or leave."

At the same time, Zi Chen turned his head and looked at the line of Yu Kong who were waiting to break through. He said, "I will also give you one more chance to choose. If you want to live the life of an ordinary Dan Origin expert, then you can leave on your own after breaking through. If you don't want to live the life of an ordinary Dan Origin expert, then join my team. The treatment will be the same as before."

After Zi Chen's words, both the Dan Origin experts and Yu Kong fell into deep thought. Their expressions changed, but no one said anything immediately.

Zi Chen was not in a hurry, either, because Longhu was pacing around the Core Formation Pavilion. Waves of mysterious soul power seeped out of his body and surged towards Yu Kong.

It was a special method of controlling soul power. It was soundless and invisible to the naked eye. Even spiritual thoughts were unable to sense it. It was slowly merging with their souls.

Twenty Dan Origin experts made their decisions one after another. Fifteen of them chose to stay. It was obvious that the temptation of Dan Weapons and wealth was too great. It would take a lot of courage to give up on Dan Weapons and wealth.

Zi Chen nodded. He did not force them, nor did he kill them. He only asked them to leave, but before they left, he warned them to keep the Core Formation Pavilion a secret.

The five of them nodded and left at a rapid pace.

"They won't keep it a secret. Once they leave, they will immediately tell us what happened here. Instead of letting them go, it's better to kill them on the spot." Longhu walked over with a cold look in his eyes.

"It's fine. They will know about the Core Formation Pavilion sooner or later." Zi Chen shook his head and transmitted his voice, "It's done."

Longhu nodded and transmitted his voice, "I've controlled twenty people in total. That's my limit. They will head to our area as soon as they break through."

Zi Chen nodded.

Since the Soul Seed had been planted, there was no point in staying here. Therefore, Zi Chen and Longhu left with the fifteen Dan Origin experts.

Because of the fifteen Dan Origin experts, their speed was greatly reduced. They only returned on the third day.

Wild Wolf and Heifeng were the first to welcome them. They told them that the injuries of the Dan Origin experts had been stabilized. Those with the most serious injuries would recover in a month.

After Zi Chen said a few words, Wild Wolf and Heifeng left.

Then, Zi Chen transmitted his voice. Wang Qiong came and took the fifteen Dan Origin experts away. At the same time, Wang Shan also prepared Dan Weapons for them.

Zi Chen didn't return to his room. Instead, he arranged things in the air. Next, Zi Chen called Tyrant over and told him and the Devil Ape to guard this place. At the same time, he told them that once Wang Qiong and the others were done with their business, they could start the baptism again.

During the last period of the ancient battlefield, Longhu had led them to hunt many ancient beasts. It was enough for them to be baptized.

There might be less than two months left for them. Therefore, they should improve their strength as much as possible during this period.

"What about you? When will you be baptized?" Monk asked.

"Let's talk about it when I come back."

Then, Zi Chen brought Longhu and Lv Peng to the place where the formation was set up.

Two days later, Zi Chen returned. As soon as he returned, Lv Peng buried himself in organizing the formation materials.

Wang Qiong and the others had already started to be baptized. Monk guarded the place, the Devil Ape went out to monitor, and the Spirit Devouring Rats were also at the periphery of the area. They sensed everything with Spiritual Energy. At the same time, they relied on their natural advantage of Spiritual Energy to find some mineral veins.

Everyone was busy with their own duties until the second batch of enemy Dan Origin experts arrived.

As one of the main forces of the team, Zi Chen had already prepared the items for the baptism. As soon as he returned, Zi Chen visited the injured Dan Origin experts. Then, he began to be baptized.

The blood essence of ancient beasts, elixirs, and precious herbs were placed neatly in layers. A faint fragrance lingered in the air. It was the unique scent of a young girl. It was obvious that Wang Xian 'er had stayed here for a long time.

These things were carefully prepared for Zi Chen. Just the blood essence alone was placed in four layers. The lowest layer was the blood essence of ancient beasts. There were more than ten bottles. Although they were ordinary blood essence, they were still descendants of ancient beasts, such as the little demonic leopard and wolf cub.

The second layer was the blood essence of ancient beasts. Although the quantity was small, there were still eight bottles. Even though the bottles were sealed, they could still feel the ferocious aura from them.

Eight bottles of ancient beasts' blood essence would definitely be sold at a sky-high price in the outside world. However, they were only placed in the second layer for Zi Chen's baptism.

There were only three bottles of ancient beasts' blood essence on the third layer. However, the ferocious aura that surged from them was extremely terrifying. It actually suppressed the top layer. The blood essence on this layer was from ancient beasts. Once it was placed in the outside world, even the overlords would go crazy for it.

However, the blood essence on the third layer wasn't the strongest or the most precious. The truly priceless blood essence was on the fourth layer. It was the blood essence of ancient beasts that was sealed in a white jade bottle.

However, at this moment, the white jade bottle was emitting a golden light. Although there wasn't any ferocious aura, there was a divine aura.

This was a drop of true ancient beast's blood essence. Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary ancient beast. It was the blood essence of a king of ancient beasts, the Longhu Supreme Beast.

Although there was only one drop, the inexplicable power it contained was incredible.

This blood essence was the foundation of Zi Chen's baptism. Other than that, there were a few stalks of ten-thousand-year-old ancient herbs, some blood essence of spiritual creatures, and various other items that could strengthen the medicinal effects.

Looking at the extremely loving arrangement of these items, a smile appeared on Zi Chen's face. After that, he threw all the blood essence into the huge crater in front of him.

In an instant, the crater emitted a brilliant light. Waves of ferocious aura began to surge, and the sounds of various exotic beasts could be heard.

After the blood essence of a supreme beast was thrown in, it was as if a Longhu Supreme Beast had rushed into the crater.

After all the blood essence and ancient herbs were thrown in, Zi Chen also entered the crater in a flash. He sat down cross-legged and dived into the bottom of the crater.

There was an earth fire at the bottom of the crater. This was the key to melting the blood essence and ancient herbs.

At the same time, a figure appeared where Zi Chen was standing. It was the old tortoise in its old form. With a wave of his sleeve, energy surged and instantly sealed the entire crater.

Next, it was time for Zi Chen's baptism. No one was allowed to disturb him.
