The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: A Minor Issue with Cultivation

Chu Xuan flashed in front of the two individuals, suddenly appearing before them. Liu Mengde, seeing Chu Xuan's face and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, was almost overwhelmed by visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, nearly fainting from the shock.

Chu Xuan flicked a strand of spiritual qi into Liu Mengde, which gradually dissipated his fear.

"No spiritual root, no spirit body, at the fourth level of body refining..." Chu Xuan mused. The humans of Blue Star were indeed peculiar. He had expected Liu Mengde to possess some unique spiritual body, but there was nothing of the sort. Yet, he had the talent to merge two body-refining techniques into one.

Liu Mengde then managed to stammer, "Liu Mengde, greets the immortal!"

Chu Xuan casually asked, "Your surname is Liu—are you from the imperial family of the Han Empire?" _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

The royal family of the Han Empire bore the surname Liu. However, since the core members of the royal family had all perished, the empire had existed in name only for some time. Now, the military camps throughout the empire had almost all been incorporated into Black Blade, becoming a formidable force under its command.

Liu Mengde scratched his head, "Not from the royal family, just a collateral branch, too distant to have any claim to the palace."

Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

Liu Mengde was overjoyed, his face flushing with excitement.

Wang Zhenxu was also surprised. The immortal had actually considered taking a disciple! Could it be that Liu Mengde might also become an immortal one day? He quickly said, "Why don't you kneel and call him Master?"

Only then did Liu Mengde, as if waking from a dream, hastily kneel and address Chu Xuan as his master.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "From now on, you don't need to practice your Millennium Tortoise Technique anymore. I will teach you a superior body refining technique. If you can integrate it as you did with your previous techniques, I will help you extend your life and achieve longevity."

Liu Mengde was ecstatic, bowing deeply, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Chu Xuan casually instructed, "Wang Zhenxu, continue searching for talents around the world. We need more individuals with exceptional gifts like Liu Mengde."

"Yes!" Wang Zhenxu responded respectfully.

...

Chu Xuan did not have Liu Mengde stay with him. Instead, he sent Liu Mengde back to the Black Blade residence. The meat necessary for Liu Mengde's cultivation practice was delivered every few days by one of Chu Xuan's corpse puppets.

By now, Chu Xuan no longer relied on zombie flesh as a source of meat. The flesh of the Nether Crocodile was much superior. Simply placing a Psionic Cube inside the flesh of the Nether Crocodile allowed it to grow into a robust and rosy piece of meat. It could be harvested daily and would regenerate immediately, proving to be entirely sufficient.

Soon, talents from all over the world were brought to the East Lake headquarters. Chu Xuan adopted a laissez-faire approach with these nominally his disciples. Naturally, if anyone created enough value, Chu Xuan did not mind bestowing some rewards. After all, as a Golden Core cultivator, even the slightest trinkets from him were infinitely valuable to mortals.

...

"I think I understand now..." Chu Xuan mused, "The reason the Corpse Refining Blood Fire has not yet birthed the Blood Evil Yin Fire is due to a lack of living souls! The Corpse Refining Blood Fire can damage the body, but the Blood Evil Yin Fire can harm both the flesh and the soul. Living souls! Living souls are the key!"
