I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator - Chapter 134
I was just about to blame the System when I realized that the System doesn’t really explain that much when it comes to elements. I guess it was a part of its function to assume that I already know the different types of elements since all of them are common knowledge. But that doesn’t mean there is a lot of information when it comes to the rarer elements. Even I didn’t know that the Blood Element existed!
For the past few weeks, I thought that the Blood Element was exclusive only for me.
After a few minutes of constantly draining my precious Qi Energy and having my sweat wiped off by Xiaoqing, the countenance of the children finally returned to normal and they began breathing normally. Next, I moved on to stabilize their Qi Cores with my Blood Element. Since their health is back to normal, I could finally ask Master Shi Yanmei to help me stabilize their Qi Cores with her Light Element.
In response, Master smiled at me and assisted me, just like what she always do every time she helped me out in the past.
“I’ll help too.” Xiaoqing offered.
“No, you need to get some rest,” I told her. “The fatigue potion is only there to remove your tiredness. Your depleted Qi Energy is still not replenished. If you help me now you might not break your Qi Core. It’s dangerous.”
After discussing the Blood Element with the others, Xiaoqing finally took the fatigue potion I gave her, and to her surprise, her fatigue was gone in an instant. I expected the fatigue potion to work really well and my expectations were met. Her expression told me that she wanted to ask me about the fatigue potion but she didn’t ask me anything since a majority of my concentration was directed to the children.
Well, if she really wanted to help, I know plenty of other ways to replenish her Qi Energy but I didn’t tell her anything about it. She’s done enough for these kids. The least I could do to express my gratitude is to let her get some rest.
While I was trying to intricately blanket the children’s Qi Cores with my Qi Energy, Master Shi Yamei released a light yellow aura from her body, making her look like the epitome of light itself. And to my surprise, her aura was much stronger than Transcendence Realm! I don’t know if she actually reached a realm beyond Transcendence but there’s a huge chance she did.
If that were so, then why hasn’t she tried going to the Middle Plane? Perhaps she’s still on the Eighth Level of the Transcendence Realm? In any case, she was so powerful that her Light Element overwhelmed my Blood Element. In a flash, she managed to stabilize the Qi Cores of the children just like how she stabilized my Qi Cores back when they were agitated by the Qi Energy of the Imperial Rabid Human before.
“Honestly, Yongrui, your Cores are much more difficult to stabilize compared to these children. The Qi Cores of these children are literally child’s play… all thanks to you healing them of course.” Master whispered towards me. “Especially your Third Core that darts around and all over your body? Gah~ I just dread thinking about stabilizing it again.”
“I’m sorry about that, Master. But it wasn’t really my fault. For some reason, my Second, Third, and Fourth Qi Cores just appeared out of nowhere. You won’t believe how much hardship they gave me when they first appeared, Master.” I reasoned, trying to pass the blame to my Qi Cores… well, they were clearly the ones at fault, not me.
“In any case, you have to do what you can to always stabilize them. If it means cultivating for a few hours every day, then you have to do it. If your Qi Cores go out of control like that once again, you might end up losing your life. Your Qi Cores are so unpredictable that the slightest disturbance might end up posing a threat to you. That’s why you have to be careful.”
I nodded apologetically.
“That’s why, if you have the time, I will give you a High-grade cultivation technique that will help you cultivate multiple cores at once. This cultivation technique has been passed on to me by my late master who had two Qi Cores. Even if it only works for two Qi Cores, it would be really useful for you, Yongrui. And if it works for multiple Qi Cores, then you’ve found a hidden gem of a cultivation technique.”
Of course, I don’t really have a reason to deny her offer since it would greatly help me. And right now, I haven’t actually practiced any cultivation technique ever since I woke up so practicing one might greatly aid me in my cultivation. I don’t know what type of cultivation technique Master was trying to teach me but I’m confident that it would be really effective since Master’s already at least above Transcendence Realm.
“I express my gratitude, Master. I will definitely take the time to visit your Shelter one of these days to learn from you. Also, Master, are you already above the Transcendence Realm?” I asked out of the blue.
Flashing a grin towards me, Master didn’t answer anything as she shook her head. At first, I thought she was shaking her head since I thought wrong about her cultivation level. But as it turned out, she was referring to something else with that gesture. “No, you don’t have to hurry. Just take your time visiting our shelter. In return, I will grant my daughter, Shi Meili, permission to accompany you back at the Tang Shelter. I hope you will also agree to this.”
“It will be my pleasure, Master. I already planned to bring her along with me to the Tang Shelter.”
Master Shi Yanmei smiled. The two of us continue to stabilize the Qi Cores of the children and after a few minutes, they finally returned to normal. I’ve never felt so exhausted in my life since my Qi Energy was almost depleted. Before I knew it, my body collapsed by itself and I found myself lying down on the floor. My muscles won’t even listen to me no matter how I tried to tell them to activate. In the end, I gave up trying to do anything and I just closed my eyes to get a quick rest on the floor.
“Thank you, Yong Rui.” I heard Yang Mei Mei’s voice before I finally slipped into unconsciousness.
…..
No sooner had I slipped into unconsciousness than I woke up from my sleep. But just like any normal sleep, much time had already passed even though it felt like an instant.
My eyes shot open and the first thing I saw was the unfamiliar ceiling in front of me. I was in a small room with a huge window by the side where an occasional breeze blew in. ‘At least I’m still alive.’ I said to myself as I removed the blanket draped over me.
And when I did so, I realized that there was another person sleeping beside me!
I almost jolted upright but I managed to maintain my composure. When my eyes finally adjusted to the brightness of the morning, I realized that the person resting her head by the edge of my bed was someone I know.
“Wu Yan? What are you doing here?” I asked, barely whispering.
She didn’t stir.
Without making any huge movements, I got up from the bed, trying my best not to wake her up. She probably looked after me last night while I was unconscious. After stretching my legs, I tiptoed out of the room.
Still, I was surprised that I completely recovered my depleted Qi Energy after just spending a goodnight’s rest. It was probably all thanks to my constitution as a rabid human. I mean, I’ve always healed faster ever since I turned into one. In any case, at least I’m more than prepared for the Red Sea Tournament semi-finals today.
When I got out of the room, I found myself in the room where the children are confined. I finally realized that I slept in one of the spare rooms of the clinic.
“Good morning,”
“Good morning,” I returned as I was greeted by the nurses working there.
“Did you have a good sleep?”
I nodded.
“Thank you so much for saving these kids.”
“We are really lacking when it comes to the Healing Element. We have a lot to learn from you, young man.”
“If you ever decided to stay here in the Red Sea Shelter, I hope you will help us manage all the clinics here.”
After smiling towards them, I just headed outside. I didn’t want to give them an answer since I’ve decided that I will join the Tang Shelter. It would be impolite to give them any false hopes, especially when they’re expecting a lot of things from me.
The moment I got out of the clinic? I decided to head towards the Coliseum where the Red Sea Tournament is happening. It was still early in the morning, but I didn’t have anything else to do so here I was.
“Yongrui?” Someone called from behind me.
