After they merged with the essence and blood under the palm, they fell silent.

But in this silence, Meng Zhou, who had absolute control over them through the sacrifice of essence and blood, could feel that their essence was quietly changing.

Nourished by various forces such as essence, blood, flesh and blood, mana, and vitality, some toxic essences seemed to be "infected" by this atmosphere, awakening first and possessing faint activity.

Then, these toxic essences that had some activity began to devour other toxic essences that were still silent.

With continuous devouring, the toxicity of these active poisons began to increase rapidly.

The toxic essence of silence was swallowed clean, and they began to devour each other.

As the toxicity increases, the activity also increases.

When they stopped, although the remaining quantity was less than one-tenth of what he had first invested in them, the quality had improved from second-order low-grade to second-order mid-grade.

Compared with other changes, this obviously detectable quality improvement is the least important.

Seeing this magical change, Meng Zhou had a strange feeling.

In his mind, two completely contradictory imaginations arose, both coming from his past life.

Seeing those poisonous essences that are like dead things, some of them have become somewhat active under special means and circumstances.

What he was thinking of was the birth of the first protein, and even the birth of the first virus and the first bacteria by chance on a deserted planet.

Is that coincidence the same "coincidence" as he is now?

Then, he inexplicably thought of Pangu Kaitian's death and reincarnation of the world.

"My body is the world, and the world gives birth to all living beings."

Those living poisons, from their own point of view, are just poisons with relatively special properties.

But if the perspective is focused on every microscopic particle of live poison, does every action of one's actions mean to them that they are engaged in a huge world war?

Originally, after knowing that this secret technique used his own body and the majestic life essence to create a strange and active thing, Meng Zhou felt a little inexplicable rejection in his heart.

But after witnessing the whole process of their birth, these two thoughts that suddenly appeared in Meng Zhou's heart made him feel a sense of vastness inexplicably.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that perhaps the most important thing about this secret method was not the acquisition of a natal living poison itself.

Witness the birth of activity from scratch, if you can truly understand its essence...

Meng Zhou brought back his thoughts that had wandered a little too far away and returned to cultivation itself.

On the tenth day of September, late at night.

Yan Luo Mi completed the entry, the accumulation of initial success, and advanced to Xiaocheng.

"Yanluo Miasma Xiaocheng 600/3000"

…

September 13th, early morning.

Cultivation progress +20, foundation building eight levels 210/1000.

As soon as he left the seclusion and walked out of the quiet room, a magic ball of flying consciousness that was blocked outside the quiet room fell into Meng Zhou's palm.

This is Governor Lee’s usual reminder.

Remind him that the exchange meeting later this month will be held as scheduled, and the scale will be grander than before.

In the past, the main subjects of this exchange meeting were only Sanchuan Plain and Bixueyuan.

And this time, in addition to the two protagonists Mikawahara and Bixueyuan, the fake pills who have newly become the "vice presidents" of the Mikawa Society and the forces behind them will also actively participate.

Meng Zhou smiled in his heart when he saw these messages from Governor Li.

He had already revealed this matter to himself when Kan Yue came to visit two days ago.

"It seems that he really doesn't know anything."

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou sighed for no reason.

Originally, according to past practice, Kan Yue would also send himself a Feishi message at this time to remind him of the upcoming black market date.

But, he probably won't remind himself of this kind of thing in the future.

For no reason, Meng Zhou thought that three years ago, when he first came to Sanchuan Plain, the first person he met was Governor Li.

At that time, he still had to deliberately hide his aura and cultivation, pretending to be sophisticated, and worried that his true situation would be revealed accidentally.

At that time, much of the talk that he and Governor Li were on equal terms was just a bluff created by him.

But now, just three years later, Governor Li seems to be treading water.

Originally, I had to deal with myself seriously in front of him, but the boss of the Sanchuan Society would respectfully address me as "you".

But in fact, Governor Li who is "standing still" is the normal growth rate of a foundation-building monk.

In Meng Zhou's own feelings, every day is just practice and practice, continuous practice.

Although I know that I am growing, I also know intellectually that this speed is exaggerated.

But only by taking Governor Li as a reference, Meng Zhou could deeply feel what it meant to be turned upside down.

…

As for the black market transactions in the middle of the month, Meng Zhou had no intention of participating.

"Let's finish what we are doing first."

With the mastery of Yan Luo Mi reaching a small level, Meng Zhou no longer needs to pay attention to it, and he can use his palms to maintain a stable speed to transform Red Yan Luo into Yan Luo Miasma.

As Yan Luo Mi's experience steadily increased, Meng Zhou began to be distracted by other things.

In order to ensure the stable and continuous transformation of living poison, Meng Zhou could not engage in strenuous activities, and he could not practice the Wood Escape Technique.

And just as the end of September was approaching, Meng Zhou also remembered that there was one thing he had not done yet.

This was what he had promised Tu Baiyao, and it was also related to whether he could stably obtain third-level spiritual materials through the Blue Blood Army.

Meng Zhou took out all the spiritual materials from the jade volute.

Since establishing the foundation, he has not deliberately collected spiritual materials, but there are many spiritual materials "eating dust" in his storage space.

This mainly comes from two harvests.

First, more than a hundred second-level spiritual materials were harvested from Xu Wanzhen's residence, all of which were wood-type spiritual materials.

The second time, Yaya peeled off a lot of second-level spiritual materials from the remaining scraps of useless weapons. There were both wood-based spiritual materials and earth-based spiritual materials. The total number was nearly seventy.

In addition, there are three statues of Lihen that have lost all their divine will, each of which can be used to extract a large amount of high-quality spiritual materials.

Meng Zhou looked at these spiritual materials and said softly: "These garbage spiritual materials should really be disposed of."

When I first acquired these spiritual materials, they were all treasures.

But he only kept them in his hands for two or three years. If he hadn't remembered Tu Baiyao's request, Meng Zhou would have almost forgotten their existence.

With each passing day, their value in his heart decreased by one point.

It's not because they themselves have depreciated, but because Meng Zhou is flying higher and higher in the sky, becoming stronger and stronger.

The longer these "value-preserving products" stay in place, the less important they become and eventually become worthless the longer they stay in his hands.

The safe house conceived and designed by Meng Zhou happens to be the best place to deal with these messy materials and maximize their value.

The first safe house he designed and built was pieced together with a lot of leftover materials and spiritual material residues.

The final effect does not affect the quality of its second-level top quality at all.

Moreover, although this second-level top-level magic weapon uses a very large amount of materials, there are very few places where the second-level top-level materials are actually used.

The role of second-level top-quality materials is like steel bars embedded in a building.

As long as you make sure you have everything where it should be and the design is correct, there won't be any problems.

The fact that the materials are different does not hinder him as the original designer at all. He can make the most appropriate adjustments according to local conditions at any time.

Meng Zhou briefly scrolled through these materials and evaluated them in his mind.

"With this much material, we should be able to make seven to eight safe houses."

However, among the materials collected by Meng Zhou, there are sufficient second-order low-grade materials, second-order medium-grade materials, and second-order high-grade materials. There is even a surplus of the largest number of second-order low-grade materials, but the only thing missing is the "steel core".

Second level top quality material.

However, it's not difficult.

Not long ago, Meng Zhou just harvested three complete second-level top-grade spiritual trees. Each tree can be divided into several pieces of second-level top-grade materials.

It is an absolutely conscientious business that is used as the "steel core" of these safe houses.

However, before officially starting to make the safe house, Meng Zhou took out part of the roots of three spiritual trees.

Taking advantage of their natural flexibility, they were briefly processed using the Perfection Technique to make their spiritual distribution and thickness more uniform, and connect the tree roots one by one into a whole.

Then, he used knitting techniques to string all the talisman arrays he had mastered, including the spirit gathering talisman array, defense talisman array, and earth power talisman array, on this rope like garlic cloves.

After doing all this, he replaced all the original knot formations arranged in the courtyard formation.

Then, he replaced the original spirit puppet with a guardian spirit puppet made from second-level top-quality tree roots.
