I, Hu Wenhai, Can Finally Help Senior Brother Xinghe!
Hu Wenhai's mind went completely blank at that moment...
Shu Da, do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language...?
Aren't you all supposed to be completely incapable of learning any martial arts techniques?
Now you're telling me, without warning, that your main body can't learn, but your clones can? Isn't that a bit too absurd?
Furthermore, what do you mean the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art isn't considered a cultivation technique but merely a talisman?
What? According to your logic, you, Shu Da, mean all your clones can learn the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art?
If that were truly the case, how could the Shadow Rat Clan have been wiped out? Wouldn't they have been invincible long ago?
Seeing the bewildered look on Senior Brother Hu's face, Shu Da realized that he hadn't explained himself clearly.
So, Shu Da gave Senior Brother Hu a detailed introduction to their Shadow Rat situation.
First of all... the Shadow Rat Clan cannot learn any cultivation techniques in their main body; this is something that cannot be changed.
Throughout history, the Shadow Rat Clan has tried almost every type of martial arts technique they can learn, but the result has always been the same: not a single Shadow Rat has been able to break through the shackles of their race and learn any martial arts technique.
However, while the Shadow Rat's main body cannot learn, its clones are not entirely unable to learn.
Although the clones of the Shadow Rat Clan look exactly like the original, there are actually some minor differences.
In the history of the Shadow Rat Clan, the Shadow Rat Clan's clones could learn some things similar to formations or talismans.
Of course, it's impossible to learn the complete Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art or other talisman formations.
The Shadow Rat's clones can only learn a little bit at most.
Moreover, the biggest problem with Shadow Rat's clones is that they also inherit the original's ability to decay.
No matter what the Shadow Rat clone learns, it requires a lot of resources to maintain. Once the resources are exhausted, the Shadow Rat clone will deteriorate and become unusable in a short period of time, regardless of what it has learned.
Therefore, normally speaking, it's practically useless for Shadow Rat clones to learn talismans or formations, because the rate of decay is too fast, making it impossible to maintain it for long.
Just because it can't be maintained elsewhere doesn't mean it can't be maintained at the Vast Heaven Sect...
With Senior Brother Xinghe's unlimited resources, Shu Da said that no matter what his clone studies, it is basically impossible for it to decline.
And Senior Brother Hu, you need manpower to make Spirit Pattern Cloth... Our Three Shadow Rat Brothers perfectly meet your requirements.
After all, creating these Spirit Pattern Cloths... doesn't require learning too much of the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art.
As long as you learn a few techniques from Senior Brother Hu and master the manufacturing method, that's enough...
Therefore, expecting the Shadow Rat clone to learn the complete Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art is nothing short of a pipe dream. However, learning a simple method for creating Spirit Pattern Cloth isn't too difficult for the Shadow Rat clone...
To verify Shu Da's words, Hu Wenhai also called Shu Er and Shu San over.
Soon, in front of Hu Wenhai, the Three Shadow Rat Brothers successfully created countless Shadow Rat clones.
Hu Wenhai then passed on the talismans needed to create the new version of the Spirit Pattern Cloth to the clones of the Three Shadow Rat Brothers.
It has to be said that the learning ability of the Shadow Rat clones is also quite poor... It took the Three Shadow Rat Brothers' clones two whole days to finally learn the dozen or so simplest talismans taught by Hu Wenhai.
When the Shadow Rat clone stumbled and struggled to cast talismans onto ordinary cloth, transforming it into a new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth... Hu Wenhai was so excited he almost jumped for joy!
Not only Hu Wenhai, Three Shadow Rat Brothers were also moved to tears...
You should know that the Three Shadow Rat Brothers felt the same way as Senior Brother Hu...
The three brothers were practically at their wits' end. If they hadn't met Senior Brother Xinghe, their only fate would have been to return to their hometown, die there, and let the Shadow Rats perish completely.
But Shu Da never dreamed that when he was at his wit's end, he would meet Senior Brother Xinghe...
Moreover, facing these three good-for-nothings, Senior Brother Xinghe not only did not despise them, but also brought them into the Vast Heaven Sect without hesitation.
The Three Shadow Rat Brothers now say, "Our Shadow Rat Clan has never lived such a prosperous life in all of history..."
Every day, the moment we open our eyes, resources we could never even dream of are delivered right to us. All the three of us brothers have to do is devour them...
Although our advancement speed is very slow after the Seventh Rank, with the almost unlimited resources of the Vast Heaven Sect, the Eighth Rank is just around the corner, and the Ninth Rank is by no means a dream.
Shu Da dreamed of reaching the Ninth Rank as soon as possible, so he could do something for the sect and for Senior Brother Xinghe...
After all, Senior Brother Xinghe has given us so many resources, but we Three Shadow Rat Brothers can't do anything for the sect or for Senior Brother Xinghe. Our consciences are tormented day by day.
But today... the Three Shadow Rat Brothers discovered that we can finally build our sect... we can finally help Senior Brother Xinghe!
Senior Brother Xinghe! We, the Three Shadow Rat Brothers, didn't disappoint you, did we?
Hu Wenhai's eyes lit up at the sight of the Three Shadow Rat Brothers...
The outside world was aware that the Three Shadow Rat Brothers had been taken back to the Senior Brother Xinghe Vast Heaven Sect.
Many people outside the area were stunned when they heard this news...
They all wondered if Chu Xinghe had gone mad.
Doesn't he know what Shadow Rat is?
Is he bringing the Shadow Rat back to the sect to recklessly deplete the sect's resources?
These three Shadow Rats are basically born cripples; they're utterly useless except for consuming resources...
Three Shadow Rats like that wouldn't even get a second glance from a dog if you threw them on the street, and yet you Chu Xinghe, brought them back to the Vast Heaven Sect?
What are you talking about if not madness?
Hu Wenhai no idea what the outside world was saying. At that moment, he looked at the Three Shadow Rat Brothers...
This isn't just consuming spirit stones... these three are practically walking spirit stone manufacturing machines!
Although the three of them consumed a huge number of spirit stones... could the number of spirit stones they consumed possibly exceed their production?
The old version of the Spirit Pattern Cloth was too expensive and had a low cost-performance ratio, so it couldn't be widely used... Even if Vast Heaven Weaving really sold it, it wouldn't be able to make a lot of money.
But the new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth is completely different...
Although the new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth n't particularly powerful, its low cost makes it irresistible!
Just grab any piece of cloth and hand it to the Three Shadow Rat Brothers, and they'll transform it into a new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth in no time... and the value of that ordinary cloth will instantly increase tenfold!
Hu Wenhai immediately sent someone to notify Zhou Ping'an to come over!
Zhou Ping'an may be a top figure outside, but within the Vast Heaven Sect, he dared not show the slightest airs. Moreover, Hu Wenhai's title as the Future King of Talismans was not just empty talk.
So, upon receiving the news, Zhou Ping'an practically crawled out of bed and rushed to the Dark Moon Palace.
After crawling through the mountain of corpses and sea of blood at the entrance, Zhou Ping'an saw Shadow Rats covering the entire mountainside...
At this very moment, the Shadow Rats scattered across the mountains were all carrying bundles of the new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth.
Zhou Ping'an's mind went blank... Zhou Ping'an first thought was, "Am I still half asleep... Am I dreaming?"
But soon, when Zhou Ping'an slapped himself twice across the face and cried out in pain, Zhou Ping'an realized that this was no dream!
It wasn't this absurd in my dream!
Zhou Ping'an examined the cloth in the hands of the Three Shadow Rat Brothers like a madman... and at the same time learned from Hu Wenhai how they had managed to do all this.
But after hearing it, Zhou Ping'an felt that all of this was even more unreal!
The Three Shadow Rat Brothers actually have this ability?
Looking at the countless new versions of Spirit Pattern Cloth, Hu Wenhai asked Zhou Ping'an...
"Manager Zhou... can we make money with these new versions of Spirit Pattern Cloth?"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! We're rich! We've struck it rich! We're incredibly wealthy!"
Zhou Ping'an's eyes were red with envy... What does it mean to be incredibly wealthy?
This is incredible wealth!
Previously, even though Hu Wenhai had improved the Spirit Pattern Cloth on a whim, increasing its effectiveness by fifty times, Zhou Ping'an hadn't been this excited.
Even if the old version of Spirit Pattern Cloth improved its effects by fifty times, its popularity would not be very high due to its excessively high cost.
It's like everyone knew that Ninth Rank- grade pills or divine pills were incredibly powerful, but why didn't everyone have one of Ninth Rank?
The reason is simple... well, other people have to be able to afford it too!
But why did the Crystal of Xinghe sell so well afterwards?
Because it's cheap!
Even Rogue Cultivators can afford it; the sales volume of Crystal of Xinghe far surpasses that of high-grade pills.
After all, there are only a handful of people in this world who can afford to consume Ninth Rank pills, but everyone needs Crystal of Xinghe.
And now the same goes for Spirit Pattern Cloth... No matter how powerful the old version of Spirit Pattern Cloth is, not many people can afford it, so it's meaningless if there's no market for it.
But this new version of Spirit Pattern Cloth is completely different... This thing can be made from ordinary cloth... and the consumption is almost negligible... Under these circumstances, even if the price is increased tenfold, it's still worthwhile.
Even Rogue Cultivators can afford it if they save up a little money...
Don't underestimate the growth brought by the Spirit Pattern Cloth; many people are unable to break through their limitations because of this small increase...
This new version of the Spirit Pattern Cloth is great in every way, except that there's no way to solve the manpower problem in manufacturing it...
And now... three Shadow Rats have solved the manpower problem for 30,000 or even 300,000 people... and most importantly, even if all the Shadow Rats' clones go to create Spirit Pattern Cloth, it won't affect the normal growth of the Three Shadow Rat Brothers, because the clones are independent and can be maintained by consuming some resources, while the three brothers don't need to worry about them at all...
Zhou Ping'an could imagine the terrifying impact this Spirit Pattern Cloth would have when it entered the market... It's no exaggeration to say that the moment this Spirit Pattern Cloth entered the market... it would directly change the entire landscape of the world!
Not daring to be negligent in the slightest... Hu Wenhai and Zhou Ping'an immediately ordered someone to inform the Grand Elder and the heads of each palace... As for Senior Brother Xinghe?
Hu Wenhai insisted that he must personally inform Senior Brother Xinghe!
Senior Brother Xinghe! I, Hu Wenhai, have grown up... I, Hu Wenhai, can finally help Senior Brother Xinghe!
