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

Chapter 54: Bronze Skin, Golden Light

Another month had passed, and when the situation at the Qi family had stabilized, the officials sent by the sect to investigate finally arrived.

As soon as Zheng Yi met them, he presented a considerable amount of spirit stones. The officials, who had been serious and stern, immediately put on a smile, and the relationship between the two sides became extremely harmonious.

To entertain the officials, Zheng Yi ordered the preparation of a high-quality banquet and invited Qi Lin to entertain the officials as well.

It must be said that Qi Lin was a very smooth person. In front of the officials, he revealed all the wrongdoings of the Qi family's main branch and submitted a large amount of evidence.

Especially regarding the embezzlement of the sect's assets, the officials were extremely indignant.

"The Qi family's main branch, despite being small, has deceived and embezzled a large amount of the sect's property. It's truly regrettable."

With a thick stack of solid evidence, the actions of the Qi family's main branch were basically confirmed. The official who had come, Liu, immediately drew a conclusion.

He determined that the Qi family had embezzled the sect's property and had also plotted against the sect's supervision. With malicious intentions, Qi Yi, an inner disciple, killed him on the spot. Although the methods were a bit harsh, they were in line with the rules of the sect.

Zheng Yi not only did nothing wrong, but also made contributions.

After thanking Liu for his praise and declining the sect's rewards, Zheng Yi directly demonstrated his understanding as an inner disciple. Led by Qi Lin, he presented a specially prepared beauty who had mastered the Dual Cultivation technique of the Red Pavilion Tower, as well as a considerable amount of hard-earned money.

Liu immediately expressed that as a disciple of the sect, he was here to serve the sect, and he felt unworthy of these things.

Then, persuaded by Zheng Yi, he reluctantly accepted them and, with the support of the beautiful woman from the Red Pavilion Tower, returned to his superior guest room.

Both sides were very happy with the banquet and obtained what they wanted.

Liu did not stay long and returned to the sect the next day, supporting his waist. He assured Zheng Yi that the matter would end here and the sect would not pursue it any further.

Seeing Liu off, Zheng Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it cost quite a bit to give away spirit stones and silence Liu, it was nothing compared to what the Qi family had secretly arranged. If this Liu official discovered something, it would probably not be something that could be resolved with just a few spirit stones.

Perhaps after discovering the Blood Fetus Ghost Infant, Zheng Yi would have to take action and directly take this Liu official's life.

Of course, after doing such a thing, Zheng Yi would quickly hide back in the Doomsday World and prepare to live a life on the run under the pursuit of the Assimilating Soul Sect.

After all, even though Zheng Yi wasn't afraid of this Qi Refining 7th Layer official, once he made a move, he would have to betray the sect and flee to the ends of the earth.

It was better to spend some spirit stones and completely resolve the trouble, which was more beneficial.

Just as Zheng Yi had speculated, a small declining family like the Qi family, which didn't even have a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator, wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Since all the members of the Qi family's main branch were dead, they could simply replace them with a new group of collateral descendants.

For those in the sect, what they wanted was the fixed annual contribution of benefits. As for who would be in charge of the entire Qi family, no one cared.

By directly giving spirit stones to Liu, Zheng Yi had also put down a major matter.

Of course, these spirit stones came from the commercial caravan established by the Qi family. The soul stones that were put on the market were highly sought after due to their high purity and pure soul power.

Therefore, soon, a storage bag full of soul stones had already been sold out.

This is still in accordance with Zheng Yi's request, not too blatant, cautious, and implementing a policy of selling less and buying more. It barely lasted for less than a month, but earned tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

With the spirit stones, Zheng Yi's first step was to renovate the cultivation room, replacing many precious materials and re-carving the Spirit Gathering array, making the spiritual energy in the cultivation room more abundant.

...

In the secluded cultivation chamber, Zheng Yi sat cross-legged, surrounded by a large number of zombie crystal cores.

In the darkness, each zombie crystal core was as clear as jade, shimmering with different colors, appearing extremely dazzling.

Accompanied by the operation of the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique," Zheng Yi seemed to be wearing a black iron armor, with a heavy color that seemed to absorb all light, making the cultivation room even darker.

Embedded in the ground formation nodes were numerous zombie crystal cores, and under the influence of the formation's power, the energy within the zombie crystal cores was released.

With each breath, pure life energy flowed into Zheng Yi's body through his nostrils.

Every time, a large amount of life energy entered his body, and under the layer of dark iron armor covering his skin, the exposed skin slowly turned bronze.

This was a complete transformation of the second level of the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique," Bronze Skin!

The defensive strength at this stage almost required a Qi Refining high-level expert to go all out to break through. It already belonged to the top-tier Body Refining existence in the Qi Refining realm.

After the zombie crystal cores in the Spirit Gathering array released their life energy, they gradually dimmed and turned into powder.

Soon, the colorful brilliance in the secret chamber gradually disappeared, returning to darkness.

"Hoo hoo!"

"I didn't expect that it would only be the second level, and the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique" would have such a high demand for the energy of zombie crystal cores. No wonder so many demonic cultivators are unwilling to cultivate this powerful Body Tempering Technique."

In the darkness, Zheng Yi, who had opened his eyes, muttered to himself.

Compared to the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique," which required a large amount of resources, many demonic cultivators focused on cultivation techniques that allowed them to quickly upgrade their own cultivation realm.

But for Zheng Yi, who lacked no resources, this Body Tempering Technique was very suitable for his cultivation.

He relied on the post-apocalyptic world, and what was the most abundant thing there? Of course, it was zombies.

What did zombies have? Besides their rotten flesh, they only had crystal cores.

Therefore, Zheng Yi could easily obtain a large quantity of cultivation resources in the post-apocalyptic world without worrying about the consumption of the "Mysterious Demon Body Tempering Technique."

Moreover, after just reaching the first level of the black iron armor, Zheng Yi realized that the defensive power of this technique, which consumed a great deal of resources, was also quite astonishing.

If he could smoothly cultivate it to the highest level, he might even be able to withstand attacks from Foundation Building Stage cultivators. The defensive power would be equivalent to a Foundation Building Stage defensive Law Weapon, which was truly unimaginable.

To refine the body to be as hard as a Law Weapon, this technique was simply like cheating.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Suddenly, Zheng Yi felt a hint of golden light emerging in the depths of his mysterious mind.

He could only vaguely perceive that in his own mind, that point of golden light was very small, only the size of a bean, but the emitted golden light penetrated his body from top to bottom.
