Chapter 85: Accumulation of the Power of Faith
Two days later, Li Qing received 20,000 dog-headed man corpses from his mentor and asked him to prepare them. If he could produce the finished product in half a month - two portions of dragon blood with a concentration that could awaken the dragon blood, he would get the next stage of orders.
After Li Qing got the dog-headed man's corpse, he turned around and entered the core tower of the divine realm and announced that would go into seclusion.
It only took him two days to decompose and refine the 20,000 dog-headed men's corpses. The flesh and blood were purified and refined into pure flesh and blood essence crystals. The remaining dragon veins were gathered and condensed into... ten dragon bloodlines.
Then……
He took out two dragon bloodlines from it, put them back into the space in his palm and decomposed them, then took out some dog-headed man's blood and mixed it in, manually reducing its purity.
There was no other way. The blood he extracted using the space in his palm was a perfectly pure version, without a trace of other impurities. It was certainly fine for personal use, but not for selling.
It's too pure and doesn't match his current level of strength.
Under normal circumstances, even a legendary master of mutation would only be at this level. It was too outrageous that his skills of only one year could be compared with others' skills of hundreds of years.
One step beyond excellence is genius.
Ten steps to excellence are super genius.
A hundred steps ahead is a monster.
He can create a persona for himself as a super genius, but he dare not create a persona for himself as a monster.
It took two days to finish. On the third day, Li Qing came to the snakeman's lair with the nine blood vessels in his hand.
He took out one unit of pure soul essence and ten units of pure flesh and blood essence crystals, added a standard dragon bloodline, pondered for a moment, and took out a little mysterious light and mixed it in.
Then he communicated with the snake people's lair with a thought and chose to sacrifice.
Then Li Qing received a prompt in his mind, whether to choose to summon an ordinary snake man or a snake man hero.
Creatures summoned from nests like this one will have a hero privilege and can choose to become a racial hero at a certain summoning.
Li Qing knew this early on, but the star level and potential of the summoned hero depended on the sacrifice.
He is not fully prepared now, and there are no extra hero spots in his divine domain, so he will not use this opportunity for the time being.
He chose normal summoning, and the next second the sacrificial array lit up, an invisible force descended, and the essence in his hand decomposed into invisible lights and disappeared.
A few seconds later, the vortex door of the sacrificial array suddenly lit up, a circle of invisible space waves spread out, and then a figure walked out of the vortex.
Li Qing looked closely and saw a very tall male snake man with a human body and a snake tail with red scales sliding out of the portal.
This snake man was about two and a half meters tall when standing upright, with a snake tail nearly three meters long below the waist and abdomen. His scales were red, but different from the snake scales Li Qing had seen before. Instead, they were very similar to the fine dragon scales on Long Shou and the others.
The face is very similar to that of humans, and the pupils are not the vertical pupils of snake people. From the edge of the face to below the neck, and to the bulging muscles all over the body, there is a layer of fine scales that are very close to the skin.
The snake man still had a look of bewilderment on his face when he walked out of the portal, but when he saw Li Qing standing on the altar, he seemed to have seen something that could help him. His eyes quickly regained clarity, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He swam over quickly, hugged his waist like a child, and spoke in human language:
“Father God!”
The voice was full of affection, like a child meeting his parents.
Although this was the first time that Li Qing encountered such a situation, he remembered what his mentor once said, that some creatures will regard the first creature they see as their parents when they are born.
There are also some special summoned creatures that regard the summoner as their own god.
Don't deny it at this time, just admit it generously, because this is a good thing.
There is a professional term for situations like this, called the ceremony of recognizing the master.
At this time, as long as you agree, it means you will automatically obey his master.
And once they acknowledge their master in this way, they will be loyal to you till death, and will always be loyal to you as long as they don't do anything stupid.
If it is replaced by faith, at least they are true believers, or devout believers, but more likely they are fanatics. Generally speaking, the higher the IQ, the more rational they are, and the lower the IQ, the higher the possibility of becoming a fanatic.
Reaching out and touching the dragon vein snake man's head like he was stroking a child, Li Qing comforted him softly and called his name.
The summoned snake man had no name, he just gave it to himself, and called himself Longsheyi, a purple-named snake man.
It is very troublesome to name them one by one, so Li Qing plans to name all the snake people he summons as dragons and snakes. The numbers at the end are to distinguish them. Odd numbers are for males and even numbers are for females. It is simple and easy to remember.
With the first summoning, the rest is easy.
He summoned them one by one in alternating between men and women, for a total of nine times, consuming nine units of pure soul essence, ninety units of pure flesh and blood essence crystals, nine mysterious light spots, nine dragon bloodlines, and a total of nine purple-named dragon vein snake men.
They are numbered from one to nine, five men and four women.
They were summoned and completed the ceremony of recognizing their master one by one. Li Qing also specially compiled a set of dragon vein snake man origins for them that could stand the test of time.
He claims to be the Creator and created them through a magical artifact.
It's simple and it's the truth.
He did not dare to use a too bizarre method of creation, because their basic intelligence was not low, and in the future they would need to be taught various magical knowledge to broaden their horizons. Too clumsy lies would definitely be exposed in the future, so it was better to tell the truth.
He sent the summoned snake man into the second level of the Divine Domain Farm.
At this time, the place was empty, with only a lot of puddles and large areas of weeds. Li Qing prepared a batch of reclamation tools, a large amount of stones and wood, and a batch of simple drawings for them. Then he drew a circle for them in the divine realm and let them build their own homes.
In the next few days, Li Qing would go to the second floor of Shenyu Ranch every day and teach them how to use tools, how to dig foundations, and how to build houses.
They have the blood of dragons and are naturally incredibly strong. Some third- and fourth-tier human soldiers cannot match them in terms of strength and physique.
It’s just that they don’t have any combat experience. The dragon blood in their bodies has been activated, but they don’t know how to use it, develop and activate it. This requires finding professional teachers to teach them later.
There is already a professional instructor , Long Fa.
Although I have not learned dragon magic specifically, but after being promoted to a dragon vein warlock hero, every upgrade and every selection of heroic skills is a process of developing my own bloodline. This is an instinct deep in my bones.
He only needs to record these instinctive memories and tell these dragon and snake people, so that they can develop their own bloodlines according to the upgrade process of the dragon method.
Of course, these alone are definitely not enough. Li Qing will ask his mentor to buy a professional Dragon Vein Warlock Manual, which is a book specifically designed to teach Dragon Vein Warlocks to develop their own bloodlines. He will learn Dragon Guarding and Dragon Methods by himself and then teach them.
The development of bloodlines
Let them explore for a while, and then you can take them out to gain experience in combat. As long as the combat experience accumulates, they can be upgraded and you can follow your instincts based on your experience during the upgrade.
The experience of each Dragon Vein Snake People accumulated over time, and over time, they naturally learned how to develop the dragon veins in their bodies.
A week later, Li Qing came out from the second floor of the ranch and found his mentor. He gave his mentor the two dragon bloodlines that were deliberately mixed with kobold blood and were not very pure, but could activate the dragon bloodline.
Soon the instructor told him that others were very satisfied with his skills and that the scale of cooperation could be expanded.
Then, a full 100,000 dog-headed man corpses were delivered.
The instructor did not hide it from him. Although they were cooperating in the name of the academy, in fact these dog-headed men came from a large plane under the jurisdiction of the Lord of the Blackrock Realm.
It was a large plane dedicated to raising ogres. The main race in the plane with a total area of hundreds of millions of square kilometers was ogres. The ogres used by the academy were all captured from here.
The reason why such a huge cost is spent to support a large plane with tens of billions of dog-headed people is, of course, for the dragon veins in the dog-headed people's bodies.
Although you can obtain dragon bloodline by directly raising a dragon, the cost of raising a dragon is very high, and the growth process is also outrageous.
It takes at least several decades for a giant dragon to hatch from a dragon egg, and the hatching success rate is not high. Either the eggs are dead or the dragon beasts do not inherit the dragon bloodline.
After successful hatching, it takes hundreds of years for the egg to grow from birth to adulthood.
But it is impossible to slaughter and harvest it as soon as it reaches adulthood. After all, the combat power of an adult dragon is comparable to that of a sanctuary. It must be driven and exploited to its full potential, and its powerful combat power must be used to serve oneself. It is hard to say when this will take.
It goes without saying that the battle that can be driven by a dragon is very dangerous. Victory is easy, but once defeated, the dragon will fall, and the hundreds of years of training will be lost to others.
Therefore, some big guys simply do not raise giant dragons, or only raise them on a small scale. They mainly raise various low-cost sub-dragon creatures or creatures with dragon blood.
Gnolls are the creatures with the weakest dragon bloodline, are the weakest themselves, and have the lowest cost to raise.
In order to obtain the dragon bloodline, the Lord of the Black Stone Realm raised a small number of giant dragons in a large plane under his control, and also raised a large number of gnolls. He himself had several giant laboratories in that plane for refining dragon bloodline, and the number of gnolls slaughtered every day was probably in the millions.
One hundred thousand Gnoll corpses, the mission target is ten dragon bloodlines.
But with Li Qing's skills, he can extract fifty dragon bloodlines and make a profit of forty.
In the following days, Li Qing spent most of his time with these newly summoned dragon and snake people, teaching them all kinds of knowledge and common sense, and occasionally asking An Erqiu and Long Falongshou to come over and teach them combat knowledge.
Every half a month or so, one can obtain 100,000 ogre corpses, thereby making a profit of 40 dragon bloodlines and hundreds of flesh and blood essence crystals.
There is no soul essence because these ogres had been dead for too long when they were transported here, and their remaining souls had dissipated.
Li Qing originally thought that such good days could last for a long time. He even put his studies aside and stayed with these dragon and snake people every day to cultivate their relationships.
But when he was completing the third transaction, something major happened and forced him to interrupt the process.
If the wind of chaos hadn't blown over, it would have only been more than nine months, and the apprentices of the two five-star mentors would have taken another half a month to come.
The twelve war lord apprentices under mentor Feng Zhuocheng united to attack a snakeman city, but an accident happened.
The collapsed underground passage under the Snakeman city that was captured by three academies under the name of four-star mentor Lu Jun a few months ago has been reopened. An elite coalition of underground races suddenly appeared on the surface, and their target happened to coincide with theirs.
As a result, the coalition of apprentices that was attacking the snakeman city was also targeted by the coalition of underground races. Under attack from both sides, eight of the twelve war lord apprentices were killed on the spot, two were missing, and the remaining two escaped with serious injuries. The army was almost wiped out.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Qing, and their failure will not affect him.
What affected him was another group of apprentices under the name of their mentor Nie Yang. Previously, Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan, together with other apprentices under their mentor, formed a coalition force to attack a snakeman city. Until now, the battle has not yet been decided and has fallen into a stalemate.
It had nothing to do with him, but the destruction of the apprentice coalition under the name of Master Feng Zhuocheng made Master Nie Yang extremely alert.
In addition, the two five-star mentors will be here in half a month. In order to avoid any further complications, and since Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan have expressed their wishes to the mentors in other ways, they contacted Li Qing and asked him if he would like to help them capture the snakeman city.
And he promised that if the city was captured, he would get half of all the spoils.
Li Qing was not interested at first. It was not as satisfying to take risks to attack a city as to stay at home every day to earn dragon blood and watch the accumulated power of faith soar.
You have to know that he is a divine creature, and he can accumulate the power of faith and divine power now.
The life essence of these dragon vein snake people he summoned was far superior to that of snake people. Each true believer could provide him with about 5 points of faith power every day. Needless to say, he had been cultivating them and enhancing their feelings during this period of time. The piety of their faith increased crazily, and now most of them are fanatical believers.
According to their life essence which is five times that of ordinary humans, and their piety, there are not many of them, not to mention those with pious faith.
Most of them are fanatics. A normal human fanatic can provide 50+ faith power to believers every day. There is almost no upper limit depending on the degree of fanaticism, and it is possible to have hundreds or even thousands.
Of course, as the creator, the degree of fanaticism will only get higher and higher in the future, but at the current stage of summoning, the power of faith provided to him by each fanatical dragon vein snake man is around the standard line of fanatics.
50+ times 5 would be about 250+ power of faith.
Up to now, he has accumulated 89 dragon and snake people, most of whom are fanatics, who can accumulate up to 20,000+ faith power for him every day.
It sounds outrageous, because it means that these less than one hundred dragon snake people can accumulate one million points of faith and transform them into a little divine power in just over fifty days.
If this scale is expanded fifty times, that is, no more than five thousand fanatical dragon vein snake people can provide him with a little divine power every day, which is almost enough to maintain the faith standard of a true god who has just been deified.
Li Qing was also planning to stay at home for a few months and try his best to create a few thousand dragon vein snake people. By then, he would accumulate divine power a little bit every day. It would be so great that he would have no interest in fighting.
but……
