Poison God's Heritage

639  Time to cultivate

Six months inside the Lord of Lords Pagoda.

I sighed as I looked at the materials in the holding bag that seemed to be rapidly decreasing.

Being a rich person in the Beyond is a difficult task. The majority of the newly acquired materials I got from the Red Sun were things I never ever saw before and the few ones I knew were all things that were far too precious to be using on this project.

There was a very robust metal that I obtained from the Red Sun. It was pretty sturdy and yet not brittle. It wouldn't bend nor break under pressure, and even if it get deformed, it will revert back to its former form once you apply Qi on it. A pretty good metal to make armor of, or even blades.

And because of that metal I wasted a lot of time to come up with these four blades for Y. and recreated his mask.

Since after upgrading Y, I never gotten the chance to remake his swords or the mask since he was using the lesser version.

Now Y owns a massive black Samurai Oni mask that hovered behind his back. Forever watching and looking. The mask retained his ability to remain split in two and fly behind Y. The inscription behind that was pretty easy. Only I added a few things to the mask now. Even Y will enjoy them.

As for X, I didn't want to leave him without something of his own. Since X is fully focused on combat and is basically a SOF unit. I loaded him with a dozen flying Drones that carried explosives and had their own gunner system. They can maneuver around him or fly separated of him. They all have their own type of warfare systems built in them. Some have chemical weapons, some have explosives some have high caliber and long range assault access and so on. Yet all twelve of these things can act as a setup for a formation that can trap enemies inside it. Creating hallucinating formations.

Anyone trapped inside the formation of these drones will fall under the hypnosis and will suffer attacks that they can't defend from.

Not only that I even upgraded X's defensive and offensive weaponry.

The new 'mind' that I made using the synthetic meridian allows X to harness the power of Law itself to create his own type of attacks. From lightning bolts to a flame thrower, both his arms can become a cannon of X's own choosing. Not only that he still has full access to the weaponry he used to carry before including the railgun and the twelve-gauge rocket launchers and grenade launchers.

I never got the chance to upgrade Z on the other hand, I'll need something more specific for him which I'll be considering later.

The rest of the puppets though were not easy to gear. Having forty two thousand and some puppets by itself is a nightmare not to mention needing to make weapons for each and every one of them. The materials I own are not nearly enough, and the material the Red Sun had given me are too difficult to process for immediate use. And if I allow the puppets to carve more of the mountains to make their weapons I'll end up with nothing but rubble inside the pagoda. So I'll have to delay gearing them for now. On the other hand I do have a thousand ready and fully geared up puppets.

With that done, I turned to the second most important part of this 'rest' period Which was finishing up the ship I was working on first. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Half of the job was already done.

The hull part and the inner cabin were all jotted down, designed to host four separate thrusters that will help push the entire structure above ground. Their job is to carry the weight of the entire vehicle with ease.

I then built five more thrusters at the back end of the boat, which was shaped like a square. Each thruster was on one of the four corners and then a central thruster that was several times more powerful than any of the others.

The entire thing in the back was powered by two reactors that can shift and change power to each of the thrusters.

I then began building a gear system that will allow for more power per gear switched and installed it alongside the reactor that will allow the entire thing to transfer energy from the reactor to the thrusters.

Just to be clear, I'm not too keen on building a system that only functions on Qi. I've been in many situations where Qi itself was denied to me. So I made sure to build a backup system. Although I would have loved to build a gas engine, the power and trust it will generate is nowhere near enough to pull the entire thing. Especially since I don't have an adequate gas. I can't purify oil into jet fuel for example. I don't have the knowledge nor time to do that.

So, I went with a heat conversion backup system that I wish I won't have to ever use. This one will probably only function in high heat regions, or if I personally supply it with flames from the newly acquired Soul Flame.

The main skeleton of the entire vehicle was finalized. The rest was basically the walls and rest of the frame which I didn't have time to take care of. The building of this thing already cost me six months by itself which was a pretty fast timeframe.

As for the rest, I jotted down the entire structure in parchment paper and handed it to the puppets in the forging room.

This was work that I didn't need to be present for it to be ready. The puppets themselves could work it, also they're far more precise and accurate. So with everything ready, X and Y fully prepped up and a thousand other puppet at the level of Emperor ready and on standby, I went to cultivate with a clear and steady mind and a calm heart.

The Red Sun was pretty generous. He had handed me several pills and heavenly fruits to cultivate. And a crap ton of Saint Qi and even some large chunks of Origin Qi crystals. The latter I couldn't use, hell they looked nothing more than shiny rocks to me at first before I realized that they hold a very complicated Dao inside them. I guess only when I reach the Origin Realm could I even begin understanding them, but at the same time I'm still cut from the Heavenly Law due to my cultivation. I can't absorb them, but I can definitely use them for my puppets and to power the pagoda.

I first began by studying some of the pills in front of me. Some seemed pretty strange to me, as I had no idea what they held in them but thanks to the note accompanying each pill I understood what they did.

These are high end cultivation pills that can supplement Qi to a person. Pretty useless to me since I need to convert Qi into Poison Qi to use it. But I can keep them for other people to use. Like Old Fu he can probably use some of these.

As for the rest of the materials, there were some poisonous plants that I consumed immediately and some other pills that were poisonous in nature and held extreme amounts of energy inside them.

By consuming them, the Qi within me began rotating and galvanizing, pushing my cultivation forward.

Well then. It's time to cultivate.
