C10 Zombie

Xiao Mo only made a few simple preparations before leaving the place he had lived at for a few days. In reality, the preparations were just to catch a few more oxen and slice their flesh into pieces. Carrying the ground beef, Xiao Mo looked around for spirit stones while paying attention to his surroundings. After staying in the mines for a few days, he had a bit of experience.

The entire mine was very quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying. Xiao Mo tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible as he carefully moved forward. Ling Zhan's power needed to be used sparingly. Xiao Mo knew that once Ling Zhan's power was used up, he would fall into a deep slumber. Unless there was some great lucky chance, Ling Zhan would definitely lose his soul in a deep sleep.

The mine was very deep, and at least Xiao Mo walked inside the mine for two days without reaching the end of the mine. Furthermore, as he went deeper into the mine, he encountered more dangers. Among them, the most worth mentioning was that Xiao Mo had encountered a green scorpion that was two feet long and a bunch of vines that could hunt. According to what Ling Zhan said, the scorpion had just learned how to cultivate and gained a bit of intelligence. As a result, it could just barely be considered a demon beast. It is difficult for ordinary insects to gain consciousness, because their lifespan is extremely short. The cricket does not know that this is what Spring and Autumn refers to. This battle was extremely tough, and it took Xiao Mo a lot of effort to kill him. However, the price he paid was that the scorpion's pincers had fiercely pinched his calf. It was fortunate that it did not bite him, otherwise, with the cultivation level of Xiao Mo, he would most likely die without a doubt.

The vines had also evolved into Demonic Vines. Although it didn't know any spells, just its long vines alone were enough to give Xiao Mo a headache. Although it was a Demonic Vine, it was still a monster that had just entered the Qi Refining stage, and was still unable to escape from the plant's fear of fire. Under the Xiao Mo's Fire Clone, it could only wail and turn into a pile of ashes.

If not for the disturbance caused by these two monsters, Xiao Mo would have been able to find more places in the span of two days. Previously, when he was wandering around the cave entrance, Xiao Mo only met some simple poisonous bugs, and not those monsters that had awakened their intelligence. After going through the attacks of these two monsters, the Xiao Mo finally looked straight at the mine.

However, in the span of two days, Xiao Mo had gained a bit. Now, he had seventeen spirit stone slags, one of which was the size of an egg. "With these benefits, Xiao Mo finally had the capital to attack the first level of Refinement. The most important thing to do now is to find a safe place to cultivate and try to break through to the 1st level of the Refinement Stage. " The Xiao Mo muttered to himself, but this time he did not let Ling Zhan take action. Last time, Ling Zhan had spent a lot of effort to find that place for him, and he did not want to rely on Ling Zhan.

After another day of effort, the Xiao Mo finally found a crack that fit the bill and threw the shriveled corpse of the Spirit Demon Scorpion into the crack. Although it was already dead, the aura of the Spirit Demon Scorpion was still able to intimidate the majority of the insects and beasts in the vicinity. After using a large rock to block the crevice, Xiao Mo sat down and started cultivating quietly in the depths of the crevice. He did not expect the corpse of the Spirit Demon Scorpion to be able to intimidate the insects and beasts that passed by for long, one day would be enough.

Calming his mind, Xiao Mo slowly circulated the Qi Drawing Arts to absorb the spirit energy from the Spirit Stone. The biggest use of the Qi Drawing Arts was not to test talent, but to draw in the spirit energy from the Spirit Stone. Everyone knew that spirit stones contained spirit energy. However, that spirit energy was like water in a well. Without a barrel, it would be impossible to extract it out of the well. The Qi Drawing Arts was like a bucket of water. After feeling the spiritual energy entering his body, Xiao Mo immediately used the Qi Refining Art to refine the spiritual energy. The spirit energy within a low quality spirit stone was very mixed. If it was brought into the Dantian recklessly without refining, the mixed spirit energy would cause the foundation to be unstable. The bottleneck that a cultivator would encounter when advancing to the next stage, and even the internal demon, would cause these mixed spiritual energy to be of great help.

One cycle, two cycles … After ten cycles, a piece of spiritual energy from the spirit stone was completely refined, and the spirit stone turned into powder and scattered. The second spirit stone quickly turned into the spirit energy within Xiao Mo's body, the third, the fourth, and so on. Even after spending sixteen Spirit Stones, the Xiao Mo still had not entered the first level of Qi Refining. He opened his eyes and looked at the spirit stone in his hands. This was the largest spirit stone he had in his possession.

While Xiao Mo was cultivating, Hsing jizi and the rest had already been more than twenty miles deep into the cave. Along the way, they did not encounter any dangers like Xiao Mo, the main reason being that they had not yet reached Foundation Establishment. The six Hsing jizi's men were currently hiding in the distance, carefully looking at a pitch-black humanoid monster that was at least two metres tall. Upon closer inspection, its two blood-red eyes, along with the long jade-green fingernails that extended from its left and right hands, was an obviously extremely poisonous creature, a zombie from the legends.

"Damn it!" I actually bumped into this thing! And he's at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining! " Hsing jizi cursed in his heart, he had previously sneakily checked this road before and did not find any zombies, even the monsters on the road were caught and thrown here by him. However, he couldn't say that revealing any of this would be too much of a problem.

Actually, the existence of zombies in a mine was not rare, especially in a mine that had existed for more than ten thousand years. No matter when, people would die in the mines, and the majority of those who died were the miners. In the mines, the earth, yin, and death energies were combined, so there would always be a few corpses that produced intelligence and became zombies. Speaking of which, although there might be zombies in the mines, there were definitely not a lot of them. It was really bad luck for the six people of Hsing jizi to encounter this zombie.

Hsing jizi glanced at the few clan elders, and saw that they were about to retreat. He sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. Everyone, the place in front of us is that place. If you want to go over there, you can only kill this zombie.

"Sect Head's words are quite true. Right now, we must work together and kill this Lau. Otherwise, we will lose this great opportunity." He was one of Hsing jizi's trusted aides, so he naturally had to speak to his master. With Ma Youcheng's words, it wasn't good for the rest of them to refute him. In fact, it was the same. Very quickly, the six of them reached an agreement, with the strongest Hsing jizi as the main attacker and the rest as support.

When Hsing jizi arrived near the zombie, he could already see the zombie's face which was covered in rotten flesh. At the same time, the zombie also discovered him. Die! " Hsing jizi let out a loud shout and attacked first, a palm thunder mercilessly struck the zombie's face, and at the same time, the elders also used all the methods they had prepared earlier. In a short moment, lightning, flames, and treasures intertwined, it was very lively. Sensing the danger, the zombie howled out, relying on its advantage over the others, it charged straight at Hsing jizi. In its low intelligence, it could instinctively tell that of all the people present, the Hsing jizi was the most dangerous.

Hsing jizi also had concerns not daring to fight against the zombies head-on, so he just kept fighting, trying to drain the zombie's energy. As for the elders, they spread out and surrounded the zombies, sneakily attacking them from the side. The biggest weakness of zombies was that their intelligence opened up slowly. Although the zombies at the ninth level of Qi Refinement had intelligence, in most cases they still relied on instinct. Even if its physical body was stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level, the result was already decided.

When the six of them were fighting the Battle Zombies, Xiao Mo had also trained to the most critical point. At this time, Xiao Mo's entire body was red, like a cooked prawn, tearing sounds came from within his body. When a person was just born, their body would be pure. As they grew older, all kinds of impurities would enter their body through breathing, eating, and other channels, hindering their cultivation. At the moment, what the Xiao Mo was doing was to use spirit energy to wash away the impurities in his body, so that his body could better absorb spirit energy.

Suddenly, black and red blood gushed out of Xiao Mo's seven orifices, and his body gradually oozed out black oily liquid. All of these things were impurities within Xiao Mo's body. Generally speaking, the better the talent, the more impurities they would have when they advanced to the 1st level of Refinement. This was also the reason why cultivators valued their talent so much. The impurities in Xiao Mo's body were only excreted a little, the impurities just so happened to cover Xiao Mo's body with a thin layer of membrane, after feeling the spirit energy wash the impurities, Xiao Mo immediately quit cultivating.

Looking at the impurity film on his body, Xiao Mo almost couldn't hold back his laughter. "Now that I am also at the 1st level of Refinement, I can learn some small spells." The Xiao Mo thought. Before this, a cultivator only had a sense of Qi, so he couldn't have any spiritual energy left in his body. However, after entering Qi Refining level 1, the cultivator's dantian would be opened by the spiritual energy, and at that time, the cultivator would be able to gain some spiritual energy from the dantian.

At this time, Ling Zhan also said: "En, not bad. You have entered the 1st level of Refinement Qi. Although you forced your way up, you will be better after a few days of rest." Xiao Mo knew that he had taken a risk this time, so he did not continue to stay at the top. Instead, he asked, "Old ghost, now that I have entered the first layer of Qi Refining, I should be able to use some small techniques, right? Do you have any there? " Wait a minute, let me think. It's been many years since I last used those low-grade spells. I don't have much of an impression of them … "Ah, yes." Finishing, Xiao Mo felt his brain expanding slightly as the third section of the chant was imprinted into his mind.

Carefully examining the three chants, Xiao Mo was very excited. The third section of the chant, the first section, was called "Drawing Arts", the second section was called "Light Spirit Art", and the last section was precisely "Thunder Palm." [Attraction Technique] was the hardest technique to learn among the low level techniques, but it was also the most important. The function of the [Attraction Technique] was to help cultivators control external objects, such as flying swords. [Light Spirit Art] was an auxiliary technique that could speed up a cultivator's speed, but it consumed a lot of energy. There was no need to mention the Thunder Palm Technique, it was an offensive technique. Its power depended on the cultivator's cultivation and the consumption was very small. It was the most practical technique.

With the chants and spells, Xiao Mo cleaned up and started to cultivate. Of course, every kind of technique required time, and what Xiao Mo lacked the most was time. Which one to train first became the problem. Right now my cultivation is only at the 1st level of Refinement, so I am still not safe in this mine. "Thunder Palm" naturally needs to be cultivated first so that I can have the power to protect myself. He had to cultivate the Light Spirit Art as well. This was an essential technique for escaping. As for the [Traction Technique], we'll talk about it when it's safe. " With that decision, Xiao Mo started to practice his techniques.
