In a blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Chu Xuan heartily ate a steaming bowl of fresh shrimp and fish fillet noodles.
He felt incredibly satisfied.
Instant noodles, if eaten daily, would become tiresome.
But if you occasionally stopped eating them, you would miss that flavor.
However, for Chu Xuan, who had Transmigrated to the Cultivation world for decades, the taste of this stuff was incredibly nostalgic.
At this moment, a brazier burned brightly in front of Chu Xuan.
A moment later, he wolfed down the instant noodles.
The flames had almost died out, and only then did he use two sticks to poke out something from the brazier.
It was precisely that Blood Mirror.
The Blood Mirror showed no signs of being scorched by the flames.
Its glow, instead, was even brighter than before.
Chu Xuan glanced at the image within the Blood Mirror.
The sky was clear, the mountains green, and the water beautiful.
It was precisely the place he had Transmigrated from earlier.
Now, this image had brightened by one-fifth.
Once it was fully bright, he should be able to Transmigrate back.
He had now discovered that the Blood Mirror would automatically absorb Heaven And Earth energy to charge itself.
Any energy could be used.
Spiritual Qi, Evil Qi, Yin Qi, or bio-energy, thermal energy, light energy, electrical energy.
He threw the Blood Mirror into the brazier precisely to let it absorb thermal energy.
At this rate, it should be fully charged in another month.
At this moment, an excited growl came from not far away; it was that Corpse Soldier.
Before long, the Corpse Soldier appeared before Chu Xuan, carrying two gasoline barrels.
He had just returned from hunting zombies.
Chu Xuan had also given him the command to search for fuel.
Initially, he couldn’t understand, but after gradual training, he could comprehend it.
Chu Xuan looked at the Corpse Soldier, whose physique was becoming increasingly robust and whose build was growing more imposing, with a satisfied expression.
“Little Tiger, well done.”
Upon hearing this, the Corpse Soldier immediately lowered his head submissively, allowing Chu Xuan to stroke him.
Little Tiger was the name Chu Xuan had painstakingly thought of for him.
It was definitely not a random name taken from his original name.
Hmm, absolutely not.
In two days, Little Tiger had hunted down all the zombies in Xiao Runfa Shopping Mall.
Those with good appearances and vitality were captured and bled.
Those with plump flesh could even be used as feed for the Blood Steel Wire.
As for those who were listless and lacked vitality, they all became nourishment for this Corpse Soldier.
Starting from the third day, he began clearing out the zombies in the surrounding shops and residences, centered around Xiao Runfa Shopping Mall.
After five days, this Corpse Soldier had advanced from a Level 2 Corpse Soldier to a Level 3 Corpse Soldier.
Although, just looking at his Realm, he could only contend with a Cultivator at Qi Refining Level 3.
But relying on his brutal muscles and soaring resentment, a little Cultivator at Qi Refining Level 3 who hadn’t learned many Spells would be severely injured if he got close, if not killed.
“But what should I do with you?
It’s too early to form a cocoon.”
Chu Xuan lowered his head, looking at the listless Blood Steel Wire, and smiled helplessly.
This little guy might have eaten too much zombie meat.
This morning, as soon as Chu Xuan woke up, he discovered that it actually showed signs of forming a cocoon!
Forming a cocoon meant that the Blood Steel Wire would learn a natural Spell, and its strength would advance by leaps and bounds.
This was great news for him.
Blood Steel Wire belonged to the Gu worms that were easy to find.
Therefore, its upper limit was not high; it could only form a cocoon twice at most.
Each time it formed a cocoon, it was like a reincarnation.
Hence, this type of Gu worm was also called a Two-Turn Gu, capable of learning two natural Spells.
Of course, the upper limit of a Gu worm was not immutable; if it encountered some Heaven And Earth Treasure by chance and consumed it, it might be able to continue forming cocoons.
His helplessness stemmed from the fact that he hadn’t yet started cultivating Heaven And Earth Treasure.
“Go catch two lively zombies and bring them over.”
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
“Roar!
Roar!”
The Corpse Soldier roared excitedly a few times, and with a few leaps, he disappeared.
Less than ten minutes later, he reappeared.
Under each of his sturdy arms, he was carrying a zombie.
These two zombies kept roaring and struggling desperately; they were indeed very energetic.
Chu Xuan nodded approvingly, “Cover their mouths, tie them up, and throw them into the corner.”
The Corpse Soldier clumsily carried out the command.
Soon, these two zombies were dealt with.
Chu Xuan strode over to them, took out a small knife, and dug blood holes in their arms, legs, torso, and other parts.
Then, he took out a breeding bag from his Storage Pouch and filled it with some rice-sized red seeds.
As soon as the red seeds touched the flesh, they quickly took root.
In just a few blinks of an eye, red sprouts about one centimeter long grew out.
Their leaves were sharp triangles.
Crimson and sinister.
A gentle breeze brushed them, making them resemble the sharp fangs of a Yao Beast.
It sent shivers down one’s spine.
This type of spiritual plant was called “Blood Demonic Fang.”
It fed on flesh and blood and disliked Spiritual Qi.
They needed one month to flower and bear fruit.
The fruits they bore were called “Blood Fang Fruits.”
They were precisely the Heaven And Earth Treasure most needed for the Blood Steel Wire to form a cocoon.
After consuming Blood Fang Fruits, the Blood Steel Wire’s speed and strength would greatly increase.
And there was a probability of learning the best natural Spell.
At this time, the more Blood Fang Fruits consumed, the greater the probability of learning a top-grade natural Spell.
Chu Xuan had diligently studied the Gu Control Art for many years, so he was thoroughly familiar with all this information.
A month passed in a blink of an eye.
Thanks to these enthusiastic and selfless zombies around, Chu Xuan’s Realm had naturally advanced to Qi Refining Level 6.
Little Tiger was not bad either; he had reached the level of a Level 5 Corpse Soldier.
“Finally ripe.”
Chu Xuan came before the two zombies, looking at the heavy fruits on the branches of the Blood Demonic Fangs, and smiled.
Throughout this month, Chu Xuan fed these two zombies one or two pieces of zombie meat every other day to ensure they stayed alive.
Only then could he continuously supply nutrients to the Blood Demonic Fangs.
However, even so, after a month, these two zombies were already emaciated and skeletal.
All the flesh and blood nutrients in their bodies had been sucked dry by the Blood Demonic Fangs.
Chu Xuan quickly harvested the Blood Fang Fruits.
These two shriveled zombies were handed over to Little Tiger for recycling.
Crunch, crunch.
Little Tiger squatted to the side, happily eating his lunch.
Chu Xuan examined the ten thumb-sized Blood Fang Fruits in his palm.
He clicked his tongue in wonder.
When the Wuji Sect was still in existence, the Sect had dedicated personnel to Cultivate Blood Fang Fruits.
However, the price was very expensive, requiring twenty points of Sect contribution to exchange for them.
Roughly estimated, it would cost at least eighty little spirit stones.
He didn’t have many Spirit Stones back then, so it was naturally impossible for him to exchange them for Blood Fang Fruits.
But now, these Blood Fang Fruits lay quietly in his palm.
Their total value was eight hundred little spirit stones.
Far exceeding Chu Xuan’s entire former fortune.
“Cauldrons are inexhaustible; this is truly a good place.”
Chu Xuan said with emotion, placing the Blood Fang Fruits to the Blood Steel Wire’s mouth.
Owooo.
One bite per fruit.
In a blink of an eye, the Blood Steel Wire had eaten all ten Blood Fang Fruits.
Then, it fell into a long slumber.
No matter how Chu Xuan poked it, it remained motionless.
When he looked again, the surface of the Blood Steel Wire was completely covered by a reddish-brown blood cocoon.
Clearly, it had truly begun to form a cocoon.
In at most ten days, the Blood Steel Wire would break out of its cocoon and become a One-Turn Gu with a natural Spell!
“By then, it’ll be about time for me to go back and take a look.”
“I need to replenish spiritual plant seeds, and I also need to exchange for some Spirit Stones to set up Formations.”
“It seems I’ll have to find my Senior Brothers and squeeze some wealth out of them.”
Chu Xuan looked at the hundreds of blood beads in his Storage Pouch and smiled.
These were the results of his daily use of the Blood Transformation Spell to purify zombie blood.
Blood beads were a great tonic for Cultivation.
Demonic Sect Cultivators would find it extremely difficult to resist such temptation.
