Chapter 104: Unearthed Corpse
The night was quiet. Zhang Chu stood beside the mass grave. The Corpse King Banner in his hand had already covered it and began to continuously absorb the newly born yin and death energy.

With the continuous absorption, the power of the Corpse King Banner is also constantly increasing, and it has already reached the pinnacle of top-grade magical weapons.

The storage space for corpses has also increased a lot, and now it can store twenty-seven refined corpses.

Twenty-seven refined corpses are now enough for Zhang Chu to use. If there are more, he will not be able to control them, and the possibility of backlash will be greatly increased.

In particular, if the Corpse King Banner is upgraded again, it will become a magic weapon-level existence. With Zhang Chu's magic power, if he wants to activate it, he can beat Zhang Chu dry in one go.

Now most of the dead energy and corpse energy absorbed by the Corpse King Banner is used to enhance the strength of the corpses refined in the Corpse King Banner, and a small part is used to continue to strengthen the foundation of the Corpse King Banner, in preparation for the Corpse King Banner to be upgraded to a magic weapon in the future.

However, the advancement of corpse refining, especially the advancement from an iron-armored corpse to a bronze-armored corpse, requires too much corpse qi and death qi.

Think about it, zombies naturally need dozens or even hundreds of years to survive, especially when they advance, which takes even longer.

Unless one can absorb the blood of a more powerful creature, one can only continue to wait for time.

It is simply impossible for Zhang Chu to upgrade the iron-armored corpse to a bronze-armored corpse, or to upgrade the bronze-armored corpse to a silver-armored corpse in a short period of time, unless he has a great opportunity.

What he is doing now is to continuously strengthen his foundation in corpse refining. When the time comes, he can make use of his previous foundation and advance the corpse refining calmly.

As the corpse qi in the mass grave was completely absorbed, Zhang Chu's figure also disappeared in front of the mass grave and came to the Liancheng world.

Although the situation in the zombie world is quite urgent, Zhang Chu has never forgotten that there is still a group of refined zombies in Liancheng world.

Calculating the time, today is the day when the refined corpse will be unearthed.

Looking at the Yin gathering place in front of him, Zhang Chu stood there silently, waiting for the refined corpse to be unearthed.

When the moon was full, a terrifying scene occurred.

Pairs of black-haired arms emerged from the ground in front of Zhang Chu, with their taut fingers aligned neatly, like crops waiting to be harvested.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dust was flying, and nearly a hundred black zombies were unearthed. Bathed in the sunlight, when they wanted to howl, the Corpse King's Banner directly covered the Yin Gathering Land, and fourteen refined corpses also appeared.

Endless pressure enveloped the black zombies that looked like an undead army, and the black zombies suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the black zombies in front of him, Zhang Chu did not hesitate at all. He directly ordered them to come forward one by one and use the method of extracting corpse qi.

Zhang Chu quickly extracted the clusters of corpse qi and entered his body, where they were directly enveloped by the mana power emitted by the mana seeds.

After the magic power circulated for a week, several groups of extracted corpse qi had turned into Zhang Chu's magic power.

Soon, the black zombies turned into ashes and fell onto the Yin Gathering Land, strengthening the foundation of the Yin Gathering Land.

As Zhang Chu's magic power continued to increase, the stems of the magic power seeds also grew rapidly.

Soon, twelve identical stems appeared on Zhang Chu's mana seed.

"Boom~"

An incomparable darkness directly enveloped Zhang Chu's consciousness, causing his consciousness to sink into the darkness.

Moreover, as the darkness continued to deepen, his consciousness seemed to be thrown into a bottomless abyss.

If he can't break through the blockade of darkness, he will turn into a zombie.

This was only the situation in his conscious state. The external manifestation was that his blood and energy, which originally had some vitality, solidified in an instant and no longer circulated. His body had become rigid.

The nails are constantly growing, and even the canine teeth are starting to grow.

At this moment, a continuous warmth emerged from Zhang Chu's dantian and continued to spread around his body, trying to dispel the coldness in his body and restore the circulation of qi and blood.

However, this warmth was too weak. Faced with the overwhelming coldness, it had no effect at all. Instead, the warmth was constantly disappearing.

In the deepest part of Zhang Chu's sea of ​​consciousness, it was still dark, without a trace of light, and his consciousness was constantly sinking.

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared, emanating from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, dispelling the boundless darkness.

He regained his senses in an instant.

"What a risk, what a risk!"

After Zhang Chu regained his senses, he immediately activated his magic power seed and began to restrain the boundless coldness in his body and the corpse qi hidden in his blood.

If it weren't for the Yueshi Mirror, he would have really turned into a zombie.

As the crisis of corpse qi explosion on his body was resolved due to the breakthrough of the realm, Zhang Chu's mind finally calmed down.

The mana seed began to resume functioning, and Zhang Chu's stiff body also softened.

The sharp nails that had grown on his fingers slowly shrank back, and of course, his canine teeth also returned to their normal size.

After the magic power circulated in his body for several weeks, Zhang Chu finally gained complete control of his body.

Silently feeling the changes in his body, he discovered that the Shenzhaojing true qi in Liancheng's lower dantian had shrunk many times, leaving only a little seed.

Recalling the situation of being frozen by the corpse qi just now, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Chu's mouth.

It is useful to strengthen the power of Qi and blood and fight against the corpse Qi and dead Qi in the body, otherwise the true Qi would not be reduced so much.

But then comes the headache.

Although true Qi is good, the amount stored in his body is too little.

In addition to the stagnation of Qi and blood, even though he had never stopped practicing the Shenzhaojing, the gains each time were too small.

"It seems that refining the Great Huan Dan must be put on the agenda!"

After Zhang Chu sensed his own situation, he slowly said, "I just don't know if Hei Yi has gathered all the herbs to make the Great Huan Dan."

Recently, Zhang Chu has basically been in the zombie world and rarely returns to the Liancheng world, so he doesn’t know much about many situations.

You'll have to wait and ask to find out.

More than ninety sentences of refined corpses have been completely turned into ashes by Zhang Chu, so it is impossible for the Yin gathering place to be empty.

Seeing that it was still dark, Zhang Chu started to get busy.

He walked straight to the morgue and began to move the corpses, inject corpse qi, and sacrifice the zombies.

This busy work lasted until dawn.

He made a rough estimate and worked hard in the middle of the night to fill up all the corpse pits in the Juyin Land.

This time, more than 150 corpse pits were dug up, which means that after forty-nine days, more than 150 black zombies will be unearthed.

By then, the speed at which his magic power increases will only get faster and faster.

This is a world where I have the advantage of being the only one who has the law.

However, as Zhang Chu's cultivation level increases, this advantage is constantly decreasing.

In the Liancheng world, there aren't many martial arts masters who can be trained into black zombies.

By the time his cultivation reached the foundation-building stage, the black zombie's original corpse qi would no longer have much effect on him.

At that time, he would most likely need to rely on the Iron Armored Corpse's original corpse energy to practice in order to quickly improve his strength.

And in the Liancheng world, how many beings can be sacrificed and refined into iron-armored corpses?
If he wants his cultivation to continue to improve rapidly, he can only hope that the Yue Shi Mirror can take him to a more powerful world.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to practice hard. "Greetings, Taoist Master!"

When daybreak came, the man in black also arrived at the gathering Yin land. Looking at the Taoist master who looked like an old farmer, he felt awe from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, he knew that Zhang Chu had returned last night.

However, he had no intention of coming out.

Not to mention the rule that people are not allowed to go out of the charity cemetery after dark, just the fact that he was facing those monsters made him tremble in his heart.

He had followed Zhang Chu for so long, so he naturally understood very well that the monster was created by his own Taoist master.

Even the fourteen powerful guardians around the Taoist master were monsters created by the Taoist master.

There were five of them he didn't know, but he had some guesses about the nine that had just appeared.

Those nine monsters are most likely the previous Blood Knife Ancestor and the Four Wonders of the South and the Four Monsters of the North!
Thinking about the fact that the top master in the martial arts world was turned into a monster by Zhang Chuji, how could he not tremble in his heart?

He was a monster respected by everyone in the martial arts world, but he changed his appearance quietly and became a thug in Zhang Chu's hands.

However, the more this happened, the more Hei Yi felt that his original decision was correct.

Those corpses were actually "resurrected" under Zhang Chu's ritual.

Who else can have the ability to bring the dead back to life except for true immortals?

"How's the matter with the Immortal Alliance going?"

After taking a look at the man in black who was full of awe, Zhang Chu began to ask about the recent events in Liancheng world.

"Master Dao,"

Hei Yi immediately began to speak, his expression somewhat grim, "The harvest was not that great!"

"normal!"

Zhang Chu nodded, but he didn't mean to blame him. "The Immortal Alliance is newly established and has no credibility. Naturally, no one will come to trade with us."

"After a while, when your credibility is established, people will come to do business with you."

"Don't worry. I have plenty of time anyway. Sooner or later, they will accept the existence of the Immortal Alliance."

Having said that, Zhang Chu glanced at Hei Yi and said, "Don't slack off. Take advantage of your free time to improve your strength!"

"Living forever and watching the clouds roll by is not a dream!"

"My subordinate understands!"

The man in black nodded immediately.

"Also, have you collected the ingredients for the Great Huan Dan?"

"We're still short of one more, but we've already got some clues. I think we'll be able to get it in no time!"

"it is good!"

Finally hearing good news, Zhang Chu couldn't help but say, "Once you have collected all the information, I will teach you a set of Qi training formulas!"

"Whether you can succeed or not will depend on your luck!"

"I will definitely prepare all the herbs needed to refine the Great Huan Dan!"

When the man in black heard that Zhang Chu wanted to teach him the method of practicing Qi, he immediately became excited.

No one has been able to reach the innate realm for many years, but the Qi training mantra taught by Zhang Chu is different, so it should be the immortal method.

Having the mantra of Qi training in hand is more reliable than practicing to the innate state.

The two of them walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the door of the quiet room. When they got here, Zhang Chu seemed to remember something, "While you are practicing, you can also ask your disciples to see if they can find some alchemists!"

"After all, refining the Great Huan Dan still requires a reliable person!"

At this point, Zhang Chu reminded him, "You are a Taoist. Is there anyone who is more proficient in alchemy than a Taoist?"

"Can you reveal a little about the matter of immortality?"

"My subordinate understands!"

The man in black nodded immediately.

When it comes to the pursuit of immortality, how could there be people more fanatical than those of Taoism?
Not to mention anything else, just the elixirs made of gold and iron, those Taoists can swallow them for the sake of immortality.

If he revealed just a little bit of information, the elders of the Taoist sect would probably fill up the charity cemetery immediately.

At that time, will we still have to worry about the lack of people to refine pills?
After arranging everything for the Black Squad, Zhang Chu came to Lao Liu.

"Old Liu,"

Looking at the slightly noble Old Liu, Zhang Chu said slowly, "Collect more old glutinous rice. You can withdraw money from the account when you need it!"

"Of course, I'm not asking you to do it yourself!"

"You can just pass on a message to Ling Tuisi in Jingzhou, understand?"

"My subordinate understands!"

Old Liu nodded immediately.

Ling Tui Si is really in a state of panic now. If there is a chance to ease the situation with Yi Zhuang, I believe he will definitely do it.

Is there any place with more rice than in the government office?

"Master, how much do you need?"

"A hundred or so stones will be enough!"

A hundred or so stones of old glutinous rice is a lot, a full twelve thousand kilograms, which is enough to last for a while.

The most important thing is that as Zhang Chu's cultivation level increases, the role of glutinous rice will become smaller and smaller, and it will be useless if there is too much of it.

After explaining everything, Zhang Chu turned around and went back to the quiet room, silently practicing his magic power.

He is not in a hurry to return to the zombie world now, so it is okay for him to rest here for a day.

Since my cultivation has just reached a breakthrough, of course I need to consolidate it.

Especially since he achieved breakthrough by using corpse qi. If he cannot consolidate his cultivation, he would be harmed by the backlash of corpse qi and would probably not have a good ending.

The most important thing is that the Taoist priest from Maoshan in the zombie world is coming, and it is not a big deal if Zhang Chu goes there with a corpse aura.

His method of consolidating his cultivation was actually very simple, which was to constantly refine the Corpse King Banner in his hand.

The Corpse King Banner can absorb corpse qi and death qi. After the magic power enters the Corpse King Banner and then returns, it can not only refine the magic power, but also extract some of the corpse qi and death qi in the magic power.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

Zhang Chu's figure also disappeared in the quiet room of Liancheng World.
