Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

Chu Xuan returned to the cave he had been in before.

He moved the boulder back to seal the entrance tightly and set up various formations before opening Ouyang Hao's storage bag.

With a careful glance, Chu Xuan was nearly blinded by the sight.

As expected of a genius from the Divine Gang Sect, and a disciple favored by the Elder!

The contents of the storage bag were dazzling!

The first thing that caught his eye was a small mountain of small spirit stones.

A rough count revealed at least over a thousand pieces.

Beside the small spirit stones, there were quite a few medium spirit stones.

Together, there were more than twenty pieces.

Apart from these spirit stones, there were several tomes placed in jade boxes.

All were techniques and spells from the Divine Gang Sect.

However, only sword cultivators could practice them.

Chu Xuan merely skimmed through them without delving deeper.

In addition, there were two spiritual artifacts.

One was the flying sword that Ouyang Hao had been using.

This artifact was called the "Heavenly Force Flying Sword," a top-grade flying spiritual artifact.

It could fly a thousand miles in one hour, consuming only one small spirit stone for three thousand miles, and could further increase its speed by consuming more small spirit stones.

Chu Xuan's flying artifact, on the other hand, could only fly three hundred miles in an hour, consuming one small spirit stone for a thousand miles.

It also lacked any acceleration function.

In comparison, it was completely outclassed by the Heavenly Force Flying Sword!

The other was a golden wooden shield.

Though wooden, it felt exceptionally hard to the touch.

This artifact was named "Gold Wood Shield," crafted from diamond wood, and was also a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Its defensive capabilities ranked among the best of top-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.

These two spiritual artifacts perfectly filled Chu Xuan's current gaps.

"There's actually a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chu Xuan continued searching and unexpectedly found a Foundation Establishment Pill in the corner of the storage bag!

He was somewhat surprised.

With Ouyang Hao's financial resources, he shouldn't have been able to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Thus, the source of the pill was self-evident.

It must have been given to Ouyang Hao by the Elder of the Divine Gang Sect for his future breakthrough.

"It seems that Elder really valued Ouyang Hao."

Chu Xuan chuckled.

No one knew that he had killed Ouyang Hao.

Even if the Elder was furious and wanted to tear the murderer apart, he wouldn't be able to trace it back to him.

"However, one Foundation Establishment Pill might not be enough to help me liquefy my spiritual power and enter the Foundation Establishment stage."

"The Foundation Establishment Blood Pill is still necessary."

Chu Xuan didn't consider himself to have such exceptional talent that a single Foundation Establishment Pill would allow him to smoothly enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I should immediately refine them and quickly convert them into my combat power."

He carefully stored the Foundation Establishment Pill and took out the Heavenly Force Flying Sword and Gold Wood Shield.

Both spiritual artifacts bore Ouyang Hao's essence blood mark.

The essence blood mark was made by refining the artifact with one's essence blood, thus imprinting one's mark on it.

This prevented it from being taken away in battle.

A better mark than the essence blood mark was the soul blood mark, which involved both the divine soul and essence blood.

However, that could only be used at the Foundation Establishment stage.

With Chu Xuan's current cultivation, he could only imprint the essence blood mark.

He extended two fingers and pressed them on the surface of the Heavenly Force Flying Sword.

He injected a strand of spiritual power into it.

Soon, he found the essence blood mark inside the Heavenly Force Flying Sword.

He used his spiritual power to obliterate it.

In about a quarter of an hour, he completely erased Ouyang Hao's remaining essence blood mark.

Now, the Heavenly Force Flying Sword was truly ownerless.

Chu Xuan patted his chest and spat out a drop of essence blood, letting it fall on the surface of the Heavenly Force Flying Sword.

He immediately began the refining process.

The refining process lasted three hours.

The cave was pitch black, but Chu Xuan's eyes shone brightly.

Success!

He could feel a close connection with the Heavenly Force Flying Sword.

Next, he used the same method to refine the Gold Wood Shield.

After continuously erasing the essence blood marks and forcing out essence blood to refine the two top-grade spiritual artifacts, Chu Xuan felt somewhat exhausted.

He immediately began to meditate and rest.

He slowly woke up after a whole night, feeling refreshed again.

"The news of Ouyang Hao's death probably hasn't spread yet. Before the Divine Gang Sect finds out, I should quickly return to Taiping Market and purchase the things I need."

Chu Xuan quickly headed towards Taiping Market.

This time, he once again disguised himself, becoming a thin, hollow-eyed male cultivator.

His appearance suggested he had taken too many pills, leaving too much pill poison in his body.

Chu Xuan walked past the stalls set up by loose cultivators, intending to buy spiritual herbs at the Herbal Pavilion.

Suddenly, he noticed something unusual about a stall.

It actually displayed several Qi Refining stage techniques from the Wuji Sect.

Among them was the "Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique" he practiced.

Moreover, the various materials needed to refine Foundation Establishment Blood Pills were almost all there.

Chu Xuan immediately sensed something was off about this person.

The Wuji Sect had been destroyed, so how could anyone have so many spiritual herbs at once?

It was definitely a trap!

It might be a righteous cultivator fishing for criminals.

If he took the bait, his life would be over.

Chu Xuan remained calm and walked away.

However, the white-haired stall owner suddenly spoke, "Friend, these are all top-quality goods. Not buying any?"

Chu Xuan's vigilance increased, "Not buying."@@novelbin@@

The white-haired stall owner chuckled, "What about the 'Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual'? Not buying that either?"

Chu Xuan was stunned and looked sharply at the stall owner.

This voice hadn't come through his ears.

It had sounded in his mind!

This was a sound transmission technique!

The sound transmission technique was a spell that only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could use.

Using this technique, only the two communicating cultivators could hear each other.

Unless a cultivator far surpassing their cultivation intercepted their conversation.

As for the "Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual," it was even more significant.

It was the Foundation Establishment stage technique of the Wuji Sect.

The three Qi Refining stage techniques, including the "Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique," were actually prerequisites for the "Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual."

"Uncle Liu?"

Chu Xuan instantly guessed the other party's identity.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who knew the formula for Foundation Establishment Blood Pills and had the Wuji Sect's Foundation Establishment stage technique.

Who else could it be but Liu Zhenxiong?

The white-haired stall owner smiled, "Follow me."

He waved his hand, collecting the items into his storage ring, and then walked leisurely out of Taiping Market.

Chu Xuan didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

Moments later, the two of them, like other cultivators coming and going, walked out of Taiping Market.

It wasn't until they reached a secluded area that Liu Zhenxiong stopped.

"Are you Xiong Zhengxing or Liu Jinping?"

He asked in a low voice.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

These two were the twelfth and thirteenth inner disciples of the Wuji Sect.

They were strong contenders for the tenth inner disciple position, which he had once competed for.

But now, they had long disappeared, likely dead in some unremarkable corner.

Chu Xuan respectfully cupped his hands, "Chu Xuan, a Qi Refining stage disciple of the Wuji Sect, greets Uncle Liu."

Liu Zhenxiong was surprised to hear the name, "Chu Xuan? The tenth inner disciple, Chu Xuan?"

"I never would have thought that the one who saved Chen Ge and Wei Hua and defeated Ouyang Hao would be you."

Chu Xuan chuckled softly, offering no explanation.

When the Wuji Sect fell, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it was his extensive knowledge in Gu insects, poison techniques, and other areas that secured him the tenth inner disciple position.

It was no wonder Liu Zhenxiong hadn't guessed it was him.
