The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World - Chapter 107: The New Disciple

Chu Xuan’s heart trembled upon hearing this.

Full Golden Core, Beast Golden Core, Instrument Golden Core, Blood Golden Core!

Without the dense Spiritual Qi of ancient times, cultivators still relied on their own wisdom to create new methods of core formation.

Wan Wuying casually said, “So, which one do you want?”

After careful consideration, Chu Xuan replied earnestly, “I want them all.”

Wan Wuying rolled his eyes.

Nevertheless, he reached out and retrieved four volumes from his storage bag.

They were respectively titled: “Nine Cycles Core Condensation Method,” “Fire Ape Core Condensation Method,” “Thunder Falcon Core Condensation Method,” and “Qi Sea Core Condensation Method.”

“Since the Yin Extreme Cave now has only one Foundation Establishment disciple like you, I have no one else to nurture,” Wan Wuying said, waving his hand to dismiss Chu Xuan.

After Chu Xuan left, Wan Wuying chuckled to himself, “Which method will this kid choose in the end?”

…

Upon leaving the cave residence, Chu Xuan returned to the Blue Star and settled down, carefully studying the four methods of core condensation.

“The Nine Cycles Core Condensation Method is so difficult; it requires nine complete consolidations and recoveries. Who has that much lifespan to spare?

As for the Thunder Falcon Core Condensation Method, it seems to be the quickest method for me now. I just need to find the inner cores of nine Thunder attribute bird demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for the Qi Sea Core Condensation Method, it is also an option. However, if I were to kill a hundred cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage and refine their Qi Seas, it would certainly differ significantly from killing a hundred at the early stage.

A hundred at the late Foundation Establishment stage… I’ll need to completely overturn the righteous sects to achieve that, won’t I?”

Chu Xuan shook his head.

Priority to the Thunder Falcon Core Condensation Method, with the Qi Sea Core Condensation Method as a backup.

Chu Xuan immediately sent a message to Chen Ge, asking him to keep an eye out for the inner cores of Thunder attribute bird demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage.

He then resumed his cultivation. With the ultimate-grade Thunder Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed increased significantly.

However, upon reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage, the amount of Spiritual Qi required for each minor breakthrough was far greater than in the middle stage.

After sitting motionless in the Soul-Capturing Evil-Nurturing Array for half a year, Chu Xuan’s Spiritual Qi had only increased by a small amount.

During this period, the war between the Heavenly Seal Sect and the local factions in Wu Province generally came to an end.

A Golden Core cultivator from Imperial Spirit Mountain was severely injured but had to swallow his grievances.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

A rare period of peace descended over the Wu Province area.

As for the Eastern Three Provinces of Blue Star, with Chu Xuan’s presence, peace reigned even more profoundly. There were no significant disturbances.

Chu Xuan quite enjoyed this slow-paced life. Every day was spent practicing cultivation, refining pills, and raising insects.

Occasionally, he would release his three corpses—Long, Hu, and Bao—to roam freely like unrestrained wild dogs.

For Chu Xuan, this peaceful farming life surpassed all the bloodshed, heroic pursuits, and fate-stealing endeavors.

…

Extreme Yin Cave.

Chu Xuan, as the senior brother of Extreme Yin Cave, sat at the head seat. Beside him were two Foundation Establishment disciples—a young man and a woman.

The young man, Xu Ming, exuded confidence, yet his gaze towards Chu Xuan was filled with deep respect.

Li Xiaoman, the female disciple, introduced herself as a member of the Corpse Puppet Sect. Previously a loose cultivator in Qian Province, she promptly joined upon hearing of Wan Wuying’s establishment of Extreme Yin Cave under the Heavenly Seal Sect.

The Corpse Puppet Sect had been annihilated by the Five Righteous Sects over three hundred years ago. Most of its lineage was absorbed by the righteous sects, while the remainder fell under the Infinite Sect, which subsequently developed some corpse refining techniques.

Li Xiaoman, only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, found a smooth entry into Extreme Yin Cave due to Wan Wuying’s possession of Foundation Establishment stage techniques from the Corpse Puppet Sect and the lack of Foundation Establishment disciples.

Li Xiaoman was not exceptionally beautiful but had a slender waist. She sat upright, her piercing gaze revealing a sharp and imposing demeanor.

At the highest point of the dojo sat Wan Wuying, the founder of Extreme Yin Cave. Within the dojo, seventy-six spiritual seedlings gathered, ranging in cultivation from no Spiritual Qi to the third level of Qi Refining.

Among them were ordinary folks from Tong Province, descendants of immortal cultivation families, and local natives of Wu Province who had suffered under the oppression of the Thousand Insects Sect. Now, having passed rigorous selection processes, they were all accepted into Extreme Yin Cave.

Wan Wuying did not accept Qi Refining disciples himself. As the eldest senior brother, Chu Xuan acted as the representative to accept new disciples.

However, he acknowledged that while his strength was considerable, he was not adept at teaching. Thus, he entrusted the crucial task of guiding and instructing disciples to those who genuinely loved such responsibilities and life itself.

His primary hope was for his junior brothers and sisters to gain experience, not merely to be an absentee manager.

The disciple induction ceremony quickly concluded, and Wan Wuying rose immediately.

The disciples collectively shouted, “Farewell, Patriarch!”

“Chu Xuan, you handle things from here,” Wan Wuying instructed before disappearing.

Chu Xuan swiftly assigned half of the disciples to Xu Ming and the other half to Li Xiaoman, then left the dojo with an air of leisure, leaving his junior siblings in a state of astonishment.

“Senior sister, what will you teach the disciples? I’d like to learn,” Xu Ming scratched his head.

Li Xiaoman glanced at him and replied nonchalantly, “Dissection, corpse refining, ghost nurturing, puppet refining, and a bit of poison technique.”

Xu Ming cautiously took a step back. “I understand, senior sister, no need to say more. It’s quite creepy.”

…

After the disciple induction ceremony concluded, calm returned once more. Extreme Yin Cave gradually expanded its influence. Under the diligent efforts of the disciples, who tirelessly relocated ordinary people and established mortal cities, the territory of Extreme Yin Cave continued to expand.

Chu Xuan’s three corpse commanders devoured a significant amount of Foundation Establishment cultivators’ flesh and blood, rapidly advancing their realms.

Among them, Hu, with the highest cultivation, had even reached the eighth-level corpse commander stage, surpassing Chu Xuan by a hair’s breadth.

His lifebound Gu had also reached the mid-second transformation stage, while the Queen Bee Gu was accelerating in growth and had already reached the late-first transformation stage.

The worker bees it produced numbered in the thousands, with blood honey slowly accumulating and numerous soldier bee eggs lying dormant.

At the Queen Bee’s command, they would hatch immediately, transforming into formidable forces.

Everything prospered, yet Chu Xuan remained somewhat discontented. He was still at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, unable to break through to the eighth.

The Thunderbird demonic beast core that Chen Ge was tasked with finding had yet to be located.

However, since establishing his family, Chen Ge had swiftly woven a vast intelligence network. Regularly, he sent Chu Xuan various pieces of information, keeping him informed of all external changes down to the smallest detail.
