Chapter 73 Refining the Banner
Qin Mo opened the system shop.
[Spiritual Root (Incomplete, No Attribute), 1,000 Merit Points]
Incompleteness means extremely slow cultivation speed, many bottlenecks, and a very low upper limit.
Having no attribute means that you are not compatible with any kind of spiritual power, and the power of your spells will be reduced.
In the world of cultivation, even the lowest-ranking rogue sects wouldn't accept someone with such a spiritual root.
But it's enough here.
[Confirm exchange for "Spiritual Root (Incomplete, No Attribute)"? Costs 1,000 Merit Points.]
"confirm."
[Redeem successful.]
[Remaining Merit Points: 30247]
A dim gray sphere of light appeared in Qin Mo's palm; this was his spiritual root.
It looks dull and unremarkable.
Qin Mo weighed it in his hand and walked up to the kneeling servant.
"Get up and stand up straight."
"6
"Yes, my lord."
The servant stood up, straight as a javelin.
Qin Mo held the spiritual root in his left hand, raised his right hand, joined two fingers together, and released spiritual power to envelop the spiritual root, slowly sending it into the servant's dantian.
With Qin Mo's cultivation at the Mahayana stage, implanting a spiritual root into someone is as simple as threading a needle.
Although the success rate of implanting a spiritual root through the system is 100%, it requires extra merit points.
If Qin Mo does it himself, with his precise control over spiritual power, the success rate will not be lower than 95%.
Moreover, this is just an experiment, so of course we should save as much effort as possible.
His spiritual power precisely guided the spiritual root into the servant's dantian, fixing and embedding it.
The servant's body trembled slightly, and then, "It's done."
Qin Mo released his grip; the spiritual root had firmly taken root in the servant's dantian, though dim, it was indeed there.
Next, it's time to channel spiritual energy throughout the body.
This step involves opening up the meridians, allowing spiritual energy to circulate within the servant's body.
If one does not channel spiritual energy into the body, even if one has spiritual roots, it is merely a decoration, because the meridians are blocked and spiritual energy cannot circulate.
Qin Mo placed his right hand on the servant's head, and his Mahayana stage spiritual power flowed like a trickle into the servant's body through his palm.
Enter from Baihui acupoint, along the Ren meridian, Du meridian, twelve regular meridians, and eight extraordinary meridians.
Wherever it passed, the originally dry meridians were washed away, expanded, and opened up by the spiritual energy.
In the world of cultivation, channeling spiritual energy into the body usually takes several hours and is accompanied by intense pain.
But that's for ordinary people. With Qin Mo's cultivation level, it wouldn't even take half an incense stick's time to finish.
"6
He withdrew his hand.
The machine servant's body emitted a low hum, not a mechanical sound, but the sound of spiritual energy resonating with the metal components as it flowed through the meridians.
Qin Mo probed into his dantian again with his divine sense. The incomplete spiritual root was slowly absorbing the thin spiritual energy left behind when the surrounding spiritual power was poured into his body.
Although it is extremely slow and its capacity is very limited, it does indeed possess spiritual power.
"First level of Qi Refining Stage." Qin Mo assessed, "And with the aptitude of this incomplete spiritual root, the upper limit is locked at the Qi Refining Stage, probably between the third and fifth levels of the Qi Refining Stage, that's the limit."
66
"However, that's enough for this world."
Because having spiritual power means being able to use magical artifacts.
Driving a magical artifact does not require a high level of cultivation.
Even if you are only at the first level of Qi Refining, as long as there is a trace of spiritual power in your dantian, you can activate the lowest-level magic weapon.
Qin Mo's storage ring also contained a large amount of materials for refining magical artifacts.
With this in mind, a plan had fully taken shape in Qin Mo's mind.
Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Low-level Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
He could refine a large number of low-level Soul Banners and then distribute them to these modified mechanical servants, scattering them across the various defense lines of Cadia. Each low-level Soul Banner was a soul-collecting machine.
For every demon killed, a Chaos follower is destroyed.
The soul automatically enters the banner.
Merit will be automatically credited to your account.
He himself only needs to sit in the central command and remotely direct operations.
Moreover, because the souls within these servants originated from his natal Ten Thousand Soul Banner, there was a natural soul connection between them and Qin Mo.
This means that Qin Mo can remotely control any of the servants anytime, anywhere.
See what they see, hear what they hear, and even, when necessary, take direct control of their bodies.
Even more amazing is that Qin Mo can also remotely provide spiritual power to his servants through this soul connection.
In other words, even if the spiritual energy stored in the servant's dantian is exhausted.
Qin Mo could also send his spiritual power directly from a distance to ensure that the Myriad Soul Banner would never lose power.
"good."
Qin Mo sighed.
Then, he thought of another question: could the special effects of the fake human emperor's flag be applied to these mech servants?
The answer is yes.
Because the special effects are carried by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, not by people.
As long as these low-level Myriad Soul Banners are marked with the mark of the Natal Myriad Soul Banner, they will automatically inherit the appearance of the "False Human Emperor Banner".
These machine servants, carrying the golden, gleaming Emperor's banner, appeared on the battlefield. To the imperial soldiers, they were the Emperor's messengers sent to rescue them!
At that time, the entire venue will be bathed in golden light, and holy flags will be everywhere.
Faith and merit will come in droves.
"Let's do it!"
He opened the system shop again: [Spiritual Root (Incomplete, No Attribute) x9, 9,000 Merit Points]
[Confirm redemption?]
"confirm."
[Exchange successful. Remaining merit points: 21247]
Nine gray spiritual roots appeared in his palm.
At the same time, Qin Mo released nine fighter servants from his storage ring.
The banner of ten thousand souls trembled once more, and nine dark blue souls emerged one after another, each entering the skull of the servant.
A moment later, the fusion was complete.
Then, they began to fuse their spiritual roots.
With the experience gained the first time, the speed was significantly faster the second time.
From the initial half incense stick, it was shortened to less than a third of an incense stick. Qin Mo was like a worker on an assembly line, one after another.
In less than half an hour, all nine machine servants were fully modified.
Ten servants stood in two neat rows in front of the bamboo house.
"Hmm, not bad."
Qin Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then he took out a large pile of refining materials from his storage ring.
The Myriad Souls Banner is the magical artifact he is most skilled at crafting, without exception.
After all, his own natal magic weapon was the Myriad Souls Banner.
He knew more about the structure, formation, and materials of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner than anyone else.
The low-level Myriad Soul Banner, to put it simply, is a simplified version of the core formation of the Myriad Soul Banner.
Remove those high-level Soul Locking Arrays, Soul Suppressing Arrays, and Soul Devouring Arrays.
Only the most basic functions, soul collection and soul storage, are retained.
For Qin Mo, magical artifacts of this caliber were as simple as breathing.
He sat cross-legged, his hands moving swiftly, his spiritual energy flowing like a tapestry.
Materials melt, reshape, engrave, and imbue with spirits in his palms.
A small triangular banner gradually took shape in his hands. The banner surface was black and it was about a foot long.
It is engraved with the most basic soul-gathering array patterns.
Simple, direct, and efficient.
First page, done. Time taken: 15 minutes.
Qin Mo glanced at it and shook his head.
"It's a bit ugly, but it works."
"6
Then, the second, the third, the fourth, and soon all ten low-level Myriad Soul Banners were finished and neatly arranged on the stone platform.
Although it is far inferior to his natal Ten Thousand Souls Banner in both quality and power, it is more than enough to collect the souls of ordinary demons and Chaos believers.
