Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

A hoarse whisper reverberated within the palace, carrying with it a hint of chill.

Gu Zhenxun's eyes flashed with a tinge of ecstasy, and he rubbed his hands subconsciously, repeatedly saying,

"Thank you, thank you! I will do my best to improve the quality of the Blood Slaves!"

Having said that, he couldn't quite contain his excitement and turned to leave.

Chu Zheng didn't speak again, closing his eyes, quietly experiencing the changes in his body.

Following the Corpse Shedding, Chu Zheng's physical strength had further increased, and an unusual change had taken place in the bones of his shoulder blades, hinting at the emergence of wings.

When a Walking Corpse grows wings, it becomes a Flying Corpse.

Upon reaching the realm of a Flying Corpse within the Zombie Dao, one truly enters the path and is considered to have mastered the basics—this is the way of the Flying Corpse Dao.

The vast majority of Walking Corpses only begin to slowly develop spiritual intelligence upon reaching this realm, but naturally, Chu Zheng was an exception.

Not only that, after practicing the Qi-refining Technique, Chu Zheng's body had undergone many changes, among which the most notable was his compatibility with Yang Qi.

Walking Corpses belong to Yin; those with low Cultivation fear sunlight and are constrained by Yang-type Magic Treasures and weapons, but Chu Zheng didn't have this problem.

After a Hundred Days Qi Cultivation, his body had undergone subtle changes, and although he still inhabited the body of a Walking Corpse, he no longer had much rejection to Yang Qi.

The fusion of Yin and Yang, regardless of the Taoist Orthodoxy, is an absolutely superior method.

The journey of Cultivation within the Great Universe cannot escape the principles of the Five Elements and Yin Yang; when Immortal Path steps into the True Immortal Realm, there is also the Five Elements Yin Yang Tribulation.

Martial Path walks the extreme Yang path, mostly with explosive temperaments, therefore aging early.

The Qi-refining Technique had undergone some variations in the body of a Walking Corpse, and for the short term, Chu Zheng still found it difficult to discern its advantages or disadvantages clearly.

However, he was used to it; ever since he started Cultivation, it was like groping his way across a river by feeling the stones—without a sect or elder to guide him, he was bound to take many detours.

After this round of Corpse Shedding, the black hair on Chu Zheng's body turned into green hair, like Spirit Grass growing from dark soil, each strand crystal clear and smooth, considerably more pleasant to the eye than before.

After absorbing the Blood Qi completely, Chu Zheng got up and left the Jade Pool, sat down with his legs crossed, and began to circulate his Circuit of Qi, at the same time considering his plans for the future.

As his Cultivation improved, the assistance from the Gu Family would become less and less significant; he needed a new stepping stone.

The Gu Family couldn't keep up with the pace of Chu Zheng's growth, and he couldn't afford to waste energy specifically supporting such a clan, as that would be a loss.

Moreover, undergoing transformation and diminishing the Tribulation Qi was not Chu Zheng's sole purpose.

In this realm, where Yuan Qi is abundant, as long as he can find enough Fragments of objects, he can completely raise his level as a Repair Master to Eighth Order.

An Eighth Order Repair Master is extremely important for his true self; at the very least, it would allow him to once again grasp the card of almost being an undying entity.

Furthermore, if he could raise the level of a Repair Master to Eighth Order, repairing Immortal Treasures would presumably become much easier, at least Semi-Immortal Treasures would not be lacking again.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The night was deep, just past midnight, the peak time when Yin Qi was most potent in heaven and earth.

Before the great hall was a spacious courtyard.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged in the courtyard, looking up slightly, swallowing the Moonlight that fell from the sky, which for him was no less beneficial than the finest Jade Dew for his Cultivation.

Footsteps came from outside the courtyard; Gu Zhenxun arrived in haste, his expression somewhat solemn.

Chu Zheng slowly ended his practice, rising without a word, looking towards Gu Zhenxun.

"The time has come, please come with me."

Gu Zhenxun said, turning to walk away in a rush.

Outside the courtyard were nearly a hundred figures scattered around, all of them Cultivators.

There were more than four hundred members of the Gu Family in total, but the combat forces that could be brought out numbered only seventy to eighty persons.

These in front of him were the majority of their strength, and among them many were temporary helpers.

Among these people, most were shrouded in Yin Qi and their practiced methods did not stray far from the ghostly and divine.

Only two of the Cultivators had reached Third Order; one appeared to be an elder of Gu Zhenxun, with white hair and beard, his Blood Qi already waning.

The other was Song Zhao.

Watching Chu Zheng's hairs glowing faintly in the moonlight, Song Zhao couldn't help but feel a jump in his brow, subconsciously stepping back half a step, a chill rising in his heart.

Just two short years to complete a Corpse Shedding and climb a level, even with a body of utmost Yin, this speed of growth was still a bit too astonishing.

Such a being was beyond the Gu Family's control, let alone his own.

For a moment, he felt anxious, worried about the consequences of having such a high-level Corpse Demon if it truly lashed out—should it go on a killing spree, there was no telling how many would die.

"Taoist Gu, are you really sure that you can keep this creature in check?"

Song Zhao couldn't help but secretly communicate his concerns, "If this zombie sees blood and goes berserk, the consequences could be unimaginable."

The level of spiritual intelligence in such a high-level zombie was uncertain, and its self-control was probably not very strong.

Entering a battlefield, bloodshed is inevitable; once stimulated by fresh blood, if it loses control, it would be hard for the Gu Family to suppress it—with the risk of playing with fire and burning themselves.

"His spiritual intelligence is exceptionally high, so it should be all right. Besides, the knife is already at our necks; if we don't take action now, the Gu Family's thousand years of foundation is gone. We have no choice but to give this dead horse the treatment for a live one."

Gu Zhenxun communicated back, before quickly changing the subject: Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

"Daoist Song, you have been assisting our Gu Family for a long time. If the situation tonight becomes unstable, feel free to leave on your own—I will not blame you."

After conveying this message, Gu Zhenxun looked around with a solemn expression and spoke firmly:

"The Bai Family is pressing us too hard, refusing to leave a way out for our Gu Family. Success or failure hinges on this one action. For coming forth to resolve the crisis of the Gu Family and sharing the trials with us, I promise you will be amply rewarded in the future!"
