Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 53: Yin Soldiers Protecting the Body, Means of Control

"Today, I have only one request for all of you."

As Zheng Yi spoke, he scanned the crowd.

Due to the current situation of the Qi family, these collateral descendants' cultivation levels were not very high. Those present were all at the Qi Refining third or fourth level, like a group of insignificant soldiers.

Although Zheng Yi's strength was only at the Qi Refining fifth level on the surface, no one dared to treat him as an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Didn't you see the fate of the Qi family's three brothers, Qi Yuanzong and the others? If their corpses had been left behind, I'm afraid the grass on their graves would have grown tall by now.

"The adults have something to command!"

Qi Lin respectfully said with a solemn expression.

Others followed his lead, bowing respectfully. Many people knew that the mining site in Badong Town had already undergone a change, and Zheng Yi, the new person in charge, needed more help.

Didn't you see how Qi Lin, a collateral descendant who was originally marginalized in the Qi family, managed to climb up by attaching himself to this powerful figure? He had become the head of the family and even controlled the entire Qi family.

These newly promoted collateral descendants of the Qi family were preparing to show off their skills. Seeing that Zheng Yi had something to command, they were all eager to try.

Looking around, Zheng Yi extended his right hand, and a white light flashed in his palm.

When everyone looked again, they saw a greenish object in his palm, resembling amber. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be filled with swirling mist.

In an instant, the air around them became still, and everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Yi with astonishment.

This was a Soul Essence Stone refined from the souls of resentful spirits and fierce ghosts. Although its grade didn't seem high, its quality was excellent. One could sense the pure Yin energy contained within it from a distance.

In the Demon Realm, this kind of thing was an absolute hard currency, comparable to spirit stones. If the Qi family had a large quantity of these pure Soul Essence Stones, it would be very difficult for their chamber of commerce to not rise again.

"If we use resources like this Soul Essence Stone to form a merchant group, who among you is willing to go?"

Several people exchanged glances, and led by Qi Lin, they all stood up and bowed.

"We are willing to share the burden for the adults."

"Very good!"

Seeing everyone's performance, Zheng Yi nodded slightly. Then, with a wave of his hand, a gloomy mist filled the air, revealing several black figures shrouded in the mist.

Clad in black armor, wielding long knives, these figures were covered in an invisible black aura. Their facial features were indistinguishable, only revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes flickering with cruel red light.

"When you go out, there will be great danger. These Yin Soldiers will ensure your safety."

Under Zheng Yi's gaze, including Qi Lin, the current head of the Qi family, everyone began to refine the Yin Soldiers without hesitation.

Since they wanted to attach themselves to a powerful figure, how could they gain the trust of the figure without giving something in return? So, it was certain that they had to make a pledge.

When their aura settled down, everyone immediately felt a powerful force surging within their bodies. This power did not belong to them, but they could borrow it.

Soon, someone couldn't help but activate the power of the Yin Soldiers, and the resulting punch wind directly elevated their strength to a higher level.

Moreover, they could summon the Yin Soldiers to protect themselves at any time, making it foolproof.

Just by refining a Yin Soldier, everyone's strength had generally reached the level of Qi Refining fifth or sixth layer, equivalent to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Furthermore, since Yin Soldiers were born for battle, once they summoned these ghostly creatures to protect themselves, ordinary cultivators of the same level might not be their opponents.

"Thank you, Lord Xie, for your reward."

Several people couldn't help but feel excited. Just by being summoned once, they were rewarded with such useful Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts. It would undoubtedly be safer for them to travel outside.

Of course, they were also well aware of another point: by refining the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts rewarded by Zheng Yi, they were essentially implanting a timed Yin Thunder Bomb inside their bodies. After all, these Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts were not refined into energy, but rather served as bodyguards, providing them with a means of protection.

However, the true controller of these Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts was still the Lord before their eyes.

But even so, everyone was eager to be the first.

At this stage, disagreement meant death. If they wanted to withdraw halfway, they could only be carried out as corpses.

Moreover, wealth and prosperity were right in front of them. Their previous situation was already better than the lower class. Who would be willing to give up this opportunity? After all, the thigh was right in front of them, and it wasn't something anyone could just hold onto.

"Rewards for merits, punishments for mistakes."

"You all can go and prepare. Qilin will be in charge of this matter."

Zheng Yi waved his hand slightly, and after the others saluted, they left.

"There's no other way but to monetize things from the doomsday world like this."

Although the doomsday world had a large amount of demonic cultivation materials, it was quite difficult to convert them into spirit stones. After all, each world had its own unique characteristics, especially those cunning and treacherous monsters that had lived for hundreds of years.

If this matter was not handled well and someone noticed, it would probably not be a good thing for Zheng Yi.

Currently, Zheng Yi's cultivation level was still low, and he didn't need too many cultivation resources. He could rely on the doomsday world to improve his cultivation level. But what about the future?

Various elixirs, flying swords, Law Weapons, and so on. There were no alternatives in the doomsday world for these things. They all needed to be purchased with spirit stones.

Cultivation was not a small sum of money.

Helplessly, Zheng Yi set his sights on the refined soul stones made from resentful spirits and fierce ghosts. Last time in the Blood Mist Abyss City, he had used two hundred-year-old refined materials made from green ghosts to bribe the sect's officials, which allowed him to obtain the qualification of an inner disciple.

Money and cultivation went hand in hand.

Money meant spirit stones. Without enough spirit stones, Zheng Yi would be unable to acquire the various Law Weapons, elixirs, and flying swords he needed.

Apart from zombies, the most abundant creatures in the doomsday world were those resentful spirits and fierce ghosts. They were almost everywhere there was a surge of Yin energy. There were large numbers of them, and as long as they were refined a little, they could be turned into soul stones, making it impossible to trace their origin.

Moreover, these soul stones were extremely useful and essential for demonic cultivators. Whether it was refining tools, refining pills, or cultivation, they all required soul stones.

The demand was enormous. Even if Zheng Yi produced a large quantity for sale, it would only be a drop in the ocean and wouldn't cause any waves in the market.

As for handing the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts to the others, on one hand, it was to protect them since their cultivation levels were too low. On the other hand, it was to monitor them. If they dared to act out of line, Zheng Yi would activate the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts to control them.

Afterward, Zheng Yi summoned Qilin alone, handed him a low-level storage bag filled with soul stones, and instructed him to be careful.

Safety was the priority, so they should sell in small quantities multiple times and be cautious not to attract attention.

Qilin expressed his understanding and then went to prepare the merchant group.
