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

Chapter 60: Flesh Gourd

In the Demon Realm, Zheng Yi had killed several enemies from the calamity path and the three brothers of the Qi family's main lineage. Undoubtedly, he had accumulated some blood guilt. However, unexpectedly, the golden light of merit could actually cleanse these strange things.

It was truly an unexpected joy.

With the removal of blood guilt and the dissipation of malevolent energy, after a period of cultivation, Zheng Yi's body's aura became even more peaceful, returning to a state of tranquility.

He felt that his thoughts had become clear, even when contemplating cultivation techniques, it became faster and simpler.

"The power of merit is indeed useful!"

"Although it cannot directly enhance one's strength, it can allow one to go further on the path of cultivation."

This change made Zheng Yi very happy.

He had previously resolutely abandoned the family legacy established by two generations of the Xuan Kong City, only because he was forced by the situation to switch to demonic cultivation. His goal was to pursue the Great Dao of heaven and earth, a stronger realm, and that elusive longevity.

It was not because he was inherently cruel and violent, so this state of tranquility suited Zheng Yi's taste.

Rapid improvement in strength without incurring karma.

This was definitely the state that cultivators dreamt of!

...

Three days later, Zheng Yi had to awaken from his cultivation and come out of seclusion.

He had previously instructed the people outside not to disturb his cultivation unless it was something important.

This time, he immediately came out of seclusion because he received some news that was crucial to his conception of the Sword Embryo, which was related to the Foundation Building Great Dao. He could not afford to treat it lightly.

And this time, news about the sword refining material that Zheng Yi needed had arrived from the merchant group.

Qi Chuan, the uncle of Qi Lin, was a staunch supporter of his lineage.

When Qi Lin took over, he directly promoted Qi Chuan to be his right-hand man. After establishing the merchant group, Qi Chuan was even assigned to be in charge of one of the core trade routes.

Last time when Zheng Yi established the merchant group, he ordered Qi Lin to gather a group of the family's backbone to facilitate control over these people. Zheng Yi specially bestowed them with Yin Soldiers and Ghosts to protect them. On one hand, it was to protect the heads of these merchant groups, and on the other hand, it served as a visible means of supervision and control.

Qi Chuan was one of the first people who readily integrated the Yin Soldiers into his body after hearing Zheng Yi's instructions, so Zheng Yi had some impression of him.

"Greetings, my lord."

Arriving at the Qi family's residence, Zheng Yi looked up and noticed that the hall had undergone renovations and become even more spacious.

Zheng Yi didn't mind this.

He stipulated that seventy percent of the profits from the merchant group's business activities would be handed over, with the remaining thirty percent being managed by the Qi family.

This was a simple principle.

You can't let the horses run without giving them grass to eat.

A virtuous cycle, employing both rewards and punishments, was the way to maintain balance.

As long as Zheng Yi held the initiative and firmly grasped the lives of these key figures, he would not fear any underhanded tricks.

It was also because the Qi family's peripheral members had chosen the right side and followed the right person that they did not suffer any repercussions after the main lineage was cleansed. On the contrary, they developed rapidly and occupied a dominant position, becoming the new main lineage.

This was also reasonable, and outsiders had no grounds to say anything. They all shared the same ancestor and surname, Qi. The ancestral property should be inherited by those who possessed virtue.

Due to Zheng Yi's investment, the Qi family's strength had increased significantly in a short period of time. Qi Chuan, for example, was now in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

These peripheral branches of the Qi family have finally become orthodox after much difficulty, and they deeply understand how difficult this moment is. Therefore, they must firmly grasp Zheng Yi's thigh and be even more loyal to Zheng Yi.

Sitting on the specially customized spacious seat, Zheng Yi slightly relaxed his expression and looked up at Qi Chuan, who was standing respectfully below. He asked slowly, "Is the information reliable?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the Ninth Caravan has specially sent this information, and it has been repeatedly confirmed and verified without error."

Qi Chuan bowed and replied in a low voice, "Half a month later, there will be an auction in the City of Shadows."

"Alright, I understand."

"You have done well, I remember. You may leave now!"

Waving his hand, Qi Chuan quickly bowed, lowered his head, and then turned and left.

As the person in charge of a caravan, he is usually very busy. If it weren't for the fact that what Zheng Yi wanted was of utmost importance, a top priority for the entire Qi family, he probably wouldn't have come personally to report.

"A flesh and blood gourd? This is a good thing."

"I just don't know if it can meet my requirements."

This is a mutated demonic plant, which is said to have been bred and cultivated by the Blood and Flesh Sect from the Sword Cultivating Gourd.

As the name suggests, the Sword Cultivating Gourd is a good material for refining swords. Inside the small gourd contains the universe and the five elements. If you throw a piece of gold from the five elements into it and nurture it for a hundred years, you may be able to refine a good sword embryo.

However, the Sword Cultivating Gourd itself is an Apex Level spiritual root. Only a few major sword Dao Sects have planted a few of them, and they can only be nourished by the Five Elements Spiritual Soil. It consumes countless resources, and even if other sects obtain it, they cannot afford to nurture it.

This is another way of refining swords that is independent of metal sword embryos, known as the Spiritual Plant Sword Embryo.

The Blood and Flesh Sect obtained a few Sword Cultivating Gourd seeds hundreds of years ago, but because they didn't have a unique cultivation method, they simply used demonic secret techniques to nurture them based on the characteristics of the Sword Cultivating Gourd. Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, they actually succeeded in growing one, which was named the Blood and Flesh Gourd.

Unfortunately, its quality was unsatisfactory and could only be considered a semi-finished product, so they didn't pay much attention to it and it gradually ended up outside.

The Blood and Flesh Gourd is a variant of the Sword Cultivating Gourd and also belongs to a kind of sword refining material that can devour cultivators' flesh and blood to grow rapidly.

However, the flying swords refined from it are bloodthirsty demonic weapons that are prone to backlash against their owners, and their quality is far inferior to that of genuine Sword Cultivating Gourds.

The advantage is that the Blood and Flesh Gourd can be quickly cultivated. As long as enough cultivators' flesh and blood are invested, a finished bloodthirsty demonic sword can be refined in just a few years.

"Although the flying swords cultivated from the Blood and Flesh Gourd are a quick method in the demonic path, the disadvantages they possess are nothing to me!"

First of all, as a bloodthirsty demonic weapon, the Blood and Flesh Gourd needs to absorb a large amount of cultivators' flesh and blood to grow rapidly.

Even if a demonic cultivator wants to kill enough cultivators to gather sufficient flesh and blood to cultivate the Blood and Flesh Gourd, it is almost impossible.

Even in the Demon Realm, if an old demon were to kill Independent Cultivators on a large scale, it would easily attract a collective attack.

To accomplish such a thing, it definitely cannot be done by an individual, but rather by a certain sect or force.

Secondly, although the Blood and Flesh Gourd is derived from the Sword Cultivating Gourd, it is truly incomparable to the original. There is a world of difference between the bloodthirsty demonic swords cultivated from it and the genuine Sword Cultivating Gourds.

However, this also depends on the grade of the Blood and Flesh Gourd and the cultivation level of the cultivator using it.

Thank you all for your support.

Thank you, reader Mu Zi Jiu, for your reward.
