Chapter 114 Teaching the Dharma
Several days had passed since the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array was set up. All the Taoists from Maoshan had left, and the bustling Tengfei Town had become deserted.

Zhang Chu still lived in the charity cemetery near the mass grave. As for his newly conquered subordinates, they were settled in the old Tengfei Town. There were ready-made houses, so there was no need to build barracks.

On weekdays, we would intensify training to train soldiers and suppress bandits.

During the turbulent times, there were quite a lot of bandits entrenched in various places.

Suppressing bandits and training soldiers can make his men see blood. How can an army without bloodshed be considered elite? He can also get some captured items to help him raise soldiers.

Five dollars per person. Even with Zhang Chu's financial resources and some taxes from Lucheng, it would still be a bit tight to support the soldiers.

After arranging his subordinates' tasks, Zhang Chu began to concentrate on his cultivation.

When he was fighting with Lin Fengjiao before, thirteen of the fourteen corpses in his hands were severely damaged. This was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of to recover.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu had a token in his hand that allowed him to enter and exit the Demon Sealing Array freely. Otherwise, it would take an unknown amount of time to recover the dozen or so corpses in the Corpse King Banner.

The twelve iron-armored corpses only consumed a little corpse energy. As long as there was sufficient corpse energy, I think they would be able to recover soon.

However, the bronze-armored corpse was different. When it was illuminated by the bronze mirror, its body was slightly damaged. If it wanted to recover completely, it would not be possible just by absorbing the corpse's qi.

When the body is damaged, the only way is to replenish the body with like. To put it simply, it means sucking blood.

Only by swallowing enough blood can the body be completely restored, or by swallowing the blood of a strong man, the body can also be restored.

There is no need to tell you how strong the bronze-armored corpse is. If Zhang Chu wants to find such a strong man, he can use the corpse of this strong man to refine another bronze-armored corpse.

Seeing that it was already dark, Zhang Chu took the token in his hand and walked towards the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array.

At this moment, the sky darkened, and the power of the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array weakened. The corpse qi and death energy that had been suppressed during the day continued to expand around along the mass grave, constantly attacking the invisible light curtain.

Standing in the frenzy of corpse and death energy, Zhang Chu directly took out the Corpse King Banner and activated it with magic power.

The Corpse King Banner was like a bottomless pit, and all the corpse qi and death energy trapped in the formation were quickly absorbed away.

It seemed as if it was suppressed too harshly. The amount of corpse qi and dead qi was so much that it made Zhang Chu dumbfounded.

However, the more corpse qi and death energy there was, the happier Zhang Chu was.

Now is the time when he needs corpse energy and death energy.

Fourteen refined corpses were also released by Zhang Chu, and they madly absorbed the corpse qi and death qi sealed in the formation.

After about half an incense stick of time, the corpse qi and death qi sealed in it were finally absorbed.

As for the corpse gas accumulated and released from the mass grave, it can be ignored.

"It looks like,"

Zhang Chu stood in the Demon Sealing Formation, silently estimating in his heart, "This formation won't last long!"

"As long as the corpse qi and death qi in the seal are not completely absorbed within half a month, the formation will be completely destroyed by the corpse qi and death qi!"

"No wonder they were so happy when I agreed to stay here and continue to absorb corpse qi!"

"So, without me, this formation wouldn't last very long!"

During the day, the formation can use sunlight to eliminate corpse qi and death qi. At night, it can only rely on the Corpse King Banner to eliminate corpse qi and death qi.

Seeing that the corpse qi and death qi in the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array had disappeared, Zhang Chu also walked out.

Standing in the Demon Sealing Array, Zhang Chu still felt a little uneasy.

When the formation was successfully set up, he heard roars coming from below the mass grave.

The fact that the sound could be transmitted meant that the terrifying existence below already knew that the place above was sealed, and was using the power of the sun to deal with him.

Zhang Chu has been using the Corpse King Banner to absorb the escaping corpse qi and death energy, which is to go against him.

If that terrifying existence controlled the corpse qi and death qi to attack Zhang Chu, he might not be able to react.

Therefore, every time Zhang Chu entered the Demon Sealing Array to absorb the corpse qi, he stood at the edge of the array and had no intention of approaching the mass grave at all.

After leaving the Demon Sealing Array, he went straight back to the charity cemetery.

Having absorbed so much corpse qi and death energy, Zhang Chu of course had to quickly cleanse the Corpse King Banner.

Also, take advantage of the fact that the corpses in the Corpse King Banner are weak to strengthen their enslavement.

Sitting cross-legged in the charity cemetery, his magic power flowed towards the Corpse King Banner, constantly refining it.

In the space of the Corpse King Banner, countless blood-red runes flickered and continuously poured into the damaged body of the corpse.

Above the invisible source of corpse qi, blood-red runes seeped into it and slowly merged with the source of corpse qi.

With the continuous cleansing, the corpse qi and death energy in the Corpse King Banner are also being quickly digested by the Corpse King Banner and absorbed by the corpse refining inside the banner.

The corpses that were less seriously injured have gradually recovered some of their strength.

"It looks like,"

Zhang Chu sensed the situation of the corpse being refined in the Corpse King Banner. "It will take at least one or two months to fully recover just by constantly absorbing corpse qi and death qi!"

After the cleansing was completed, Zhang Chu placed the Corpse King Banner in the storage space, and then began to silently recover his magic power.

By late at night, Zhang Chu's magic power had recovered about 50%. With a thought, he came to the charity cemetery in Liancheng World.

He pushed open the door of the quiet room and walked out directly.

"Master Dao,"

As soon as he walked out, he saw the Taoist priest in black waiting here, "The Great Huan Dan has been refined successfully!"

"What did you say?"

These days, Zhang Chu really came and went in a hurry. Every time he came, he would just take a look at the charity cemetery to see if everything was fine and then go back. He never paid attention to the specific affairs of the charity cemetery at all.

Now that he heard that the Dahuan Pill had been successfully refined, how could he not be surprised?
"Take me over there to have a look!"

"Yes, Taoist Master!"

The man in black walked straight ahead and headed towards a room in the charity cemetery.

As soon as I got closer, I saw the flickering fire in the house, and there were several figures busy working inside.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw several old Taoist priests busying themselves.

"Master Dao,"

The man in black quickly stepped forward and introduced them, "These are the elders of my sect."

"I have met several Taoist priests,"

Zhang Chu glanced at the old Taoist priests standing by and looking at him, "I wish you immortality!"

"Greetings to the Taoist Master!"

The old Taoists looked at each other and bowed to Zhang Chu.

They had confirmed this with Hei Yi before they came, so they naturally knew that the Zhang Chu in front of them was very likely to have mastered immortal magic.

Therefore, they did not dare to neglect it.

"You are too polite, Taoist priests!"

Zhang Chu had no intention of accepting the offer. He wanted to see if they had succeeded in refining the Great Huan Dan before deciding whether to hire them. "I heard from the man in black that you have already succeeded in refining the Great Huan Dan!"

"Master Dao,"

One of the old Taoist priests immediately took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it over, "This is the refined Da Huan Dan!"

Zhang Chu took it and examined it carefully. It was basically no different from what he had obtained in Shaolin Temple before.

"Blackie," Zhang Chu thought for a moment and looked at the man in black beside him, "Have you tried the elixir?"

"not yet!"

Hei Yi immediately shook his head and said, "Once the elixir is refined, we will wait for the Taoist master to come back!"

"Take one and try it,"

After Zhang Chu heard this, he immediately took out a Da Huan Dan and handed it to Hei Yi, "Let's see how effective the medicine is?"

"Yes, Taoist Master!"

The man in black did not suspect anything and immediately took the Dahuan Pill and swallowed it.

Feeling the surging power of the medicine, the man in black immediately started practicing the Shenzhaojing.

Zhang Chu just stood aside and watched quietly, chatting with a few Taoist priests next to him from time to time.

After waiting for about an hour, the man in black finally finished his work. Most of the medicinal power of the Dahuan Pill had been absorbed.

"how?"

Looking at the man in black finishing his training, Zhang Chu stared at him and asked.

"Master, there should be no problem with the pills,"

The man in black immediately replied, "I feel that if it can be fully refined, it should be able to enhance my skills by about twenty years."

"Uh-huh!"

Feeling the surging blood and energy of the man in black, Zhang Chu collected the remaining two pills of Da Huan Dan and said, "I need to save and collect the materials for refining Da Huan Dan. At the same time, I also need to refine Da Huan Dan!"

After saying this, Zhang Chu looked at Hei Yi who looked expectant, as if he had thought of something, "Hei Yi, come with me!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

The man in black also hurriedly followed, following behind Zhang Chu, but he felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Arriving at the quiet room, Zhang Chu sat down directly and looked at the man in black who seemed a little excited yet a little nervous.

"I am doing things,"

Zhang Chu looked at the man in black with a somewhat fiery gaze and said slowly, "Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished!"

"Since you have refined the Great Huan Dan, I will never let you down!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the side of the desk, "I will dictate, and you take notes!"

After hearing Zhang Chu's words, the man in black immediately ran over, studied it, and slowly memorized it.

At the beginning, Zhang Chu once told Hei Yi that when he refined the Dahuan Pill, he would learn his method of cultivation.

Now is the time to fulfill our promise.

Fortunately, when he met Shi Jian's soul before, Shi Jian used his own soul power to transmit the skills and Taoist techniques he had learned into Zhang Chu's mind before leaving.

Otherwise, Zhang Chu would be worried now.

How could he have any proper method of practicing Taoism?
As for Maoshan Taoism, Zhang Chu did not want to pass it on.

Most of the Maoshan Taoist magic is used to restrain zombies. If the man in black really practices it successfully, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Shi Jian can be said to be a cultivator who cannot be more orthodox. In addition, he walks in the zombie world and has a lot of different skills in his hands.

Now, I can teach it to Hei Yi.

As for whether he could practice, Zhang Chu really didn't know.

The practice of Taoism is really mysterious.

Just like Wencai and Qiu Sheng, they had a Taoist master like Lin Fengjiao as their master, who constantly guided them, but they practiced for more than ten years but still failed to develop any magical powers.

When it comes to practicing Taoism, sometimes, it really depends on aptitude and opportunity.

As Zhang Chu spoke, a set of exercises appeared on paper.

Just a few hundred words are enough to allow a person, if given the opportunity, to enter the door of spiritual practice.

"Thank you, Taoist Master!"

The man in black immediately bowed and thanked him.

However, looking at the hundreds of words in front of him, Hei Yi recognized every one of them, but when they were combined together, he really didn't recognize them.

"You will have to recite the Daoist exercises day and night in the future!"

Zhang Chu looked at the excited Hei Yi and reminded him, "As for whether you can succeed, that depends on your luck!"

"Opportunity?"

The man in black looked at Zhang Chu in front of him in confusion.

"Whether you can succeed in cultivating the Tao depends on yourself. If you succeed, then you succeed. If you fail, I have no way to help you!"

"Only when you realize the power of magic can you continue to move forward!"

Looking at the thoughtful man in black, Zhang Chu continued, "Instead of taking this uncertain path, it is better to break through the innate realm first!"

"After all, there are traces to follow when breaking through the innate realm!"

"Master Dao,"

Hei Yi hesitated for a moment, "I still want to give it a try!"

"Ah~"

Zhang Chu could only shake his head helplessly.

With the Dahuan Pill, it would be much easier to break through to the innate realm than to comprehend magic power.

Even Zhang Chu, who had experience in practicing Taoism, needed to find another way to condense the seed of mana again after his magic power was wasted and his dantian was damaged. What about Hei Yi, who had never been exposed to Taoism?

Looking at the figure in black clothes leaving, Zhang Chu could only shake his head.

"Da Huan Dan!"

After pouring out the Dahuan Dan from the porcelain bottle, Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment and did not take it directly. He wanted to try out the idea in his mind.

Next, he thought about it and returned to the charity cemetery in the zombie world again.

Very rarely, Zhang Chu did not practice magic in the quiet room, but fell asleep instead.

He was waiting for dawn. Only after dawn could he verify what was in his mind.

The Dahuan Pill is hard to come by, so of course we must maximize its effectiveness.

While Zhang Chu was resting in the room, Taoist Qianhe had already returned to Maoshan with the old Taoist priest.

He brought Qianhe directly to the Maoshan inheritance site and took out a large pile of books, "Qianhe, take these to Zhang Chu!"

"Try to get there as early as possible!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Qianzuru agreed immediately.

He naturally knew that these were the things his uncle-master had promised Zhang Chu, the formation book and the divination book.

After resting for two days in Maoshan, Taoist Qianhe set out again with several of his disciples and headed towards Tengfei Town.

The old Taoist priest in Maoshan looked at Qianhe's back, his eyes showing a complicated expression, as if he had thought of something. He muttered, "Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck!"
