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

Chapter 62: Connected Heart Lock, Malicious Perception

The price of spirit stones continues to rise.

Although it is very difficult to cultivate a mature flesh gourd, for ordinary Qi Refining stage demonic cultivators, if this flesh gourd seed is cultivated well, it is indeed a good treasure.

Even if one cannot use it themselves, it can be cultivated slowly as a heritage for their family or sect.

If this generation cannot use it, it can be left for the next generation.

Compared to previous items, there is much fiercer competition for this flesh gourd seed.

However, although everyone has made bids, the enthusiasm for raising the price is not very high.

As the price of spirit stones surpasses three thousand, the voices for raising the price become scarce.

Only three people are still raising the price on the field, but each time they only raise it by one hundred.

One of them is Zheng Yi. He joined the bidding process from the beginning and did not wait until the last moment to raise the price dramatically. For him, such an act would be too ostentatious.

"3100."

"3200."

"3500."

As Zheng Yi raised the price to 3500 Low Grade spirit stones, he displayed an air of certainty, causing the other two to shake their heads and give up directly.

In fact, for everyone, this flesh gourd seed is not a necessary treasure. If they can obtain something better, it is not a loss if they cannot get it.

After all, cultivating this flesh gourd is too troublesome, requiring sufficient flesh and blood cultivation. Whether it is mortals or cultivators, the consequences of wanton slaughter in the Dayi Immortal Domain have been proven. The result is either being punished by heaven or being hunted down, with no good outcome.

With three thousand five hundred Low Grade spirit stones, Zheng Yi successfully obtained the flesh gourd seed, and he felt satisfied. He relaxed and waited for the auction to end before leaving.

Suddenly, Zheng Yi felt a slight tremor from the merit seed in his sea of consciousness, and he immediately felt a chill down his spine.

The power of merit is extremely mysterious. For him, he has already discovered two different effects.

The first is to eliminate the power of karma and resentment, resolving malevolent energy.

The second is an exceptionally keen sense of danger.

This has been confirmed long ago and will not have the slightest error. Therefore, someone must have a great deal of malice towards him now.

A sense of alertness surged in his heart, and he quickly looked up, trying to find out who was coveting him.

Unfortunately, the other party was also quite vigilant. With just one glance, they withdrew their gaze. Zheng Yi only knew that the malicious gaze came from above the second floor, but as for who exactly it was, he couldn't find the culprit.

He couldn't find out who it was at all.

"Who is it? I don't know anyone in Youzhong City, nor do I have any grudges with anyone. Who is thinking about me?!"

Under Zheng Yi's calm expression, he regained his composure, but his mind was racing.

He was also puzzled. He didn't know anyone in this unfamiliar Youzhong City. He had only been here for a day and hadn't had a chance to interact with anyone, let alone make enemies.

Could it be trouble caused by the flesh gourd seed?

"Unfortunately, my cultivation level is too low and my spiritual consciousness is too weak. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to discover who the owner of that gaze is!"

Zheng Yi's cultivation in demonic arts is still short, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the range of his spiritual consciousness is too limited.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. The Demon Realm is too dangerous, and many people in the demonic path are lunatics. He doesn't know where their intense malice comes from.

Just staying in a small town for a while, there were already people secretly observing his presence. In order to safely survive in the demonic path, one must have stronger power and a higher cultivation level.

Zheng Yi secretly made up his mind that he wouldn't easily leave his current location until his strength reached a higher level of Qi Refining.

On the second floor, in a private room on the west side, stood three middle-aged men, while a young man sat on a chair.

Among them, a middle-aged man with dark skin was quietly asking the young man in charge, "Young Master Yuan, what's so special about this person that you are so concerned about?"

Just now, this person glanced at Zheng Yi from the second floor, but he didn't expect Zheng Yi's perception to be so astonishing and his vigilance so high. He instantly reacted and even traced the gaze back.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was slightly higher, and he was in the private room on the second floor, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and wasn't discovered.

Young Master Yuan had just told him to keep an eye on this person and not lose track of him.

"Because he has a deep blood feud with my Qí family," the young man suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with anger and malice, staring down below. Zheng Yi didn't notice this because the private room was protected by a isolation formation.

This person's name was Qí Shèngyuán, the eldest son of the Qí family's main branch, belonging to the hidden branch of the Qí family.

In the past, the Qí family had made a great plan and understood deeply that from the day their ancestral patriarch risked his life to set up the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Pulse Formation, their entire family had embarked on an irreversible path.

Either they would succeed, spending two generations' time to establish the foundation of a five-hundred-year Foundation Building Stage cultivation family.

Or if things were exposed, they would have achieved nothing and their whole family would fall into the Myriad Tribulations, never to return.

Once discovered, the Qí family would undoubtedly be wiped out by the Assimilating Soul Sect.

So how could a cunning family like the Qí family not have backup plans?

Therefore, in order to preserve the continuation of the family bloodline, the Qí family split off a legitimate branch, changed their names, and used demonic arts to conceal the bloodline connection of the family. They placed this legitimate branch in the remote city of Yōuzhōng.

The eldest son of the current family head, Qí Yuánzōng, was declared dead in his childhood, but he was actually secretly sent to Yōuzhōng City. He was cultivated as the head of the hidden branch.

Only a few high-level members of the main branch of the family knew about this, and others had no idea that there was a hidden branch of the Qí family in Yōuzhōng City.

This method of escaping danger can be described as a brilliant strategy, a hundred-year plan secretly arranged by the main branch of the Qí family.

It can be said that in addition to continuing to set up formations and cultivate blood infant ghost babies, the Qí family's biggest expenditure over the years has been invested in this hidden branch.

Furthermore, in order to maintain contact and prevent unexpected situations, Qí Yuánzōng and his legitimate eldest son set up a soul connection technique since childhood. When they are within a ten-mile radius of each other, they can sense each other.

And if one of them dies or is controlled, the other person can also sense the identity of the enemy through the soul connection.

This is also the main reason why Qí Shèngyuán was able to discover Zheng Yi.

As soon as he entered the venue, Qí Shèngyuán sensed the aura of blood feud on Zheng Yi. In order to avoid any mistakes, he tried to activate the soul connection, and it was indeed true.

Half a month ago, Qí Shèngyuán received news that the main branch of the Qí family had suffered a catastrophic disaster, wiped out by the new members of the Assimilating Soul Sect. The charges were said to be deceiving the sect and secretly embezzling a large amount of resources, as well as supporting the rise of the Qí family's hidden branch.
