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

Chapter 90: Ancient Method, Blood Lotus Embryo (10,000 more, please subscribe)

This is a gray package-like thing. Upon closer inspection, it is found that this thing is actually a whole, without any seams. It is obviously man-made, but it appears completely natural.

Using divine sense to examine it, this thing should have been refined using special methods and special materials. Divine sense cannot penetrate it, and it is completely impossible to sense what is inside.

Although Zheng Yi doesn't have much experience in appraising goods, he can tell from the Time Qi aura of this package that it has been around for quite some time.

However, it doesn't seem to have many distinguishing features. For a moment, Zheng Yi is also unsure of what it is exactly.

"Where did you get this?! What is this thing?" Zheng Yi asks after a moment.

"This thing is said to be called the Gambling Treasure Bag. It was obtained by a small person from a destitute person in the Dark Blood City."

"It is said to be something passed down from above the family. I also inquired about it. The ancestor of that destitute person was once a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, but unfortunately, he fell from grace and his family fell into ruin. Almost all of their valuable possessions have been sold."

"The reason why this Gambling Treasure Bag was brought out is because his grandson was found to have spiritual roots during an examination. In order to be used for his grandson's cultivation in the future, he had no choice but to sell it."

"Originally, many people were interested, but the old man shouted a price that was too high, scaring off many people. In the end, I bought this thing at seventy percent of the price."

"I heard that the adult likes to collect all kinds of things and has given orders that the leader of the caravan has the authority to make independent decisions and can purchase special treasures. I estimate that this can barely be considered a treasure, so I added some spirit stones myself and bought it to present to the adult."

The chubby young man has decent strength. His aura is unstable, indicating that he has recently benefited from the increased strength of his family. It hasn't been long since his breakthrough.

"Well, you have thought well," Zheng Yi turns to Qi Lin and instructs, "Add his name to the Blood Ignition Plan next time."

Upon hearing this, the young man is overjoyed and quickly bows to show his gratitude.

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance!"

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, Qi Lin takes the young man away, leaving Zheng Yi alone in the hall.

Looking at the Gambling Treasure Bag in his hand, Zheng Yi's expression becomes somewhat strange. He didn't expect to be able to see a Gambling Treasure from the Immortal Domain.

In fact, Zheng Yi had heard of this kind of Gambling Treasure when he was mingling with Independent Cultivators in the Xuan Kong City of the Immortal Domain. There are several different types, including gambling on stones, gambling on illusionary spirit blind boxes, and gambling on magic boxes. However, this kind of Gambling Treasure Bag is quite rare.

This kind of Gambling Treasure is said to have been passed down from ancient times. It has special methods to prevent cultivators from directly probing with divine sense. It appears to be a bag-like package, but it contains something that cannot be detected at all.

Inside could be a real treasure, a handful of sand, nothing at all, or even a prank by someone from the past.

This kind of Gambling Treasure had circulated in the Immortal Domain of Da Yi for a period of time, at least five hundred years ago, and some even had a history of over a thousand years.

The production methods that can prevent cultivators from probing with divine sense have already been lost. Originally, it was initiated by a gambling sect called Dao Tian Men in ancient times and was once popular.

Many people used this gambling nature to buy low and sell high, to gain benefits. There were also some powerful Independent Cultivators who sealed certain things about themselves within it and spread them outside, hoping for a destined encounter.

Later, Dao Tian Men collapsed overnight and disappeared without a trace, and the craftsmanship of the Gambling Treasure was lost. What is circulating in the market now is both genuine and fake.

However, it generally circulates among low-level cultivators or Independent Cultivator groups, because most Gambling Treasures cannot contain truly precious heritage items, and very few true predecessors would do such a thing.

After all, if they have the time, it would be better to pass it on to their own descendants or disciples. Why give benefits to outsiders?

But in the world, nothing is absolute. A long time ago, there were indeed Independent Cultivators who had great luck and successfully picked up treasures from Gambling Treasures, obtaining extremely precious treasures, inheriting Violet Palace experts, Gold Core cultivators, or longevity pills, and even Law Treasure weapons, etc.

Therefore, this popular gambling game among Independent Cultivators was once popular, and many people tried their luck.

Various spirit blind boxes, gambling stones, and magic boxes were also hyped up for a while, and many Independent Cultivators wanted to take a chance and bet their fortunes.

However, luck only belonged to a few people. Most of the treasures obtained from gambling were either useless or empty, causing many cultivators to lose their wealth and even their lives.

Over time, more and more counterfeit and inferior products appeared on the market, deceiving people with fake goods that were not the craftsmanship passed down by the ancient Thieves' Heaven Sect. As a result, no one believed in them anymore.

This caused the once popular gambling industry to gradually disappear among ordinary Independent Cultivators, becoming nothing more than a gimmick at high-end auctions.

Zheng Yi had not been in the cultivation world for long, and although he had heard of gambling treasures, he had never seen such high-end items before. So when he suddenly saw the gambling treasure bag, he didn't react immediately.

"It is said that the gambling treasures of the Thieves' Heaven Sect cannot be forcibly opened. They are all set with mechanisms. Once forcibly opened, the contents of the gambling treasure will be destroyed!"

"And the methods are extremely sinister. There is no time for remedy. For example, spiritual pills are directly contaminated, Lingzhi and precious ginseng are corroded by corpse water, and cultivation techniques are reversed. In short, there are many tricks that make you unable to react and can only participate in gambling. This is the purpose of the Thieves' Heaven Sect..."

"Although I don't know why this once popular sect suddenly disappeared, it is said to be related to gambling treasures, but it is not something an ordinary cultivator like me can know..."

Zheng Yi didn't have much hope for this kind of gambling treasure. After all, it was a matter of probability. He had never won the lottery he bought before transmigrating to the Blue Star, so he just watched it for fun.

But it was also a filial act from his subordinates, and Zheng Yi couldn't refuse.

Moreover, judging from Qiyue's shrewd style of doing things, he was not someone who would be easily deceived. Being able to stand out among a group of people and become the new leader of the caravan, Qiyue was already good enough not to deceive others. It would be even more difficult to deceive him.

In addition, Qilinbao's recommendation further proved that this gambling treasure bag should be genuine, most likely an old item passed down by the old man from the ruined Blood City.

However, Zheng Yi also knew that the gambling treasures of the Thieves' Heaven Sect had rules. They must be opened with special methods, and forcibly opening them would destroy everything inside.

The conditions for opening them were like a key, often passed down orally. This belonged to a special key, and once lost, the gambling treasure would never see the light of day again.

The conditions for opening this gambling treasure bag must have been passed down orally and kept secret by the old man from the ruined Blood City.

And it must be very difficult to achieve, otherwise the old man from the ruined Blood City would have tried to open it himself and wouldn't have sold it to Qiyue.

The leader of the caravan was a shrewd person who was used to flattery, so he had thought it through. Along with the gambling treasure bag, a note was also sent, which recorded the process and methods of opening the treasure.

It was very simple, but difficult to achieve. To open this gambling treasure bag, three hundred cultivators' flesh and blood were required as a sacrifice...

"What kind of condition is this?"

Looking at the ordinary old package in front of him, Zheng Yi frowned slightly, but he was really interested.

"Could it be that there are treasures from the Blood Demon Dao inside? Or is it just a prank?"

Zheng Yi thought it was not impossible. The Thieves' Heaven Sect followed the principle of gambling and luck, without a fixed outcome.

It was just like gambling stones. One cut could make you poor, one cut could make you rich, one cut could turn the tables, and one cut could lead to suicide. It was all unpredictable.

Don't think that the bigger the condition for opening the gambling treasure, the more precious the treasures inside. On the contrary, many people lost everything and paid a huge price, thinking that as long as they opened the gambling treasure, they could change their fate, but in reality, it was empty inside.

As far as Zheng Yi knew, the person who opened the gambling treasure and found a pile of shit was a true disciple of a major sect.

He paid thirty thousand spirit stones to open the gambling treasure, only to find a steaming pile of shit inside. At that time, he was so angry that his face turned green, and it became an indelible stain on his life. People gave him the nickname "Shit Opener".

This name could follow him for a lifetime and might leave a deep mark in the sect even after his death.

From this perspective, the Thieves' Heaven Sect's behavior was indeed provocative and hateful. If they were suddenly wiped out, it wouldn't be unreasonable.

"Three hundred cultivators' flesh and blood must be sacrificed to open this seemingly ordinary package. What a grand requirement..."

"Evil! Too evil!"

Zheng Yi shook his head. Now he was even more certain that this item was indeed an ancient artifact, a genuine product from the ancient Dao Tianmen gambling treasure, consistent with the style of this sect's operations.

No wonder that poor old man and his family chose to sell this item in the end. They had no choice. Where could they find 300 cultivators to sacrifice their flesh and blood? If they left the Dark Blood City, not to mention killing people, the old man himself wouldn't even be able to protect his own life.

The item passed down through generations in the old man's family was just an empty key, without the conditions to open it. It was quite frustrating. No wonder it could be preserved for such a long time, leaving behind this intact gambling treasure bag.

But for them, it was also a good thing. If they opened it and found something, even the old man's family of poor status might not be able to keep it, or they might not even be able to use it. If they couldn't open anything, they would truly be frustrated to the point of spitting blood and being infuriated to death.

It would be better to deceive some gambling addict, secure their future, and not let down the inherited family treasure passed down through generations.

Since Zheng Yi knew the key and conditions to open this gambling treasure bag, he felt more relaxed.

Offering the flesh and blood of 300 cultivators as a sacrifice might be difficult for other ordinary demonic cultivators, but for Zheng Yi, it was just a matter of time. He had already confirmed that the flesh and blood of zombies in the apocalypse world had an extremely high energy content. To some extent, it could replace the flesh and blood of cultivators, although it was far inferior in quality, it could make up for it in quantity.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi returned to the apocalypse world. The opening of this gambling treasure bag was probably unreliable, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He casually threw the bag into one of the spare flesh and blood pools in the zombie flesh and blood factory, and had Jin Wuqian keep an eye on it, while he busied himself with other matters.

Unexpectedly, three days later, when Zheng Yi returned to the gathering place, Jin Wuqian came to him. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that the gray bag had opened after devouring a pool of zombie flesh and blood.

Zheng Yi didn't expect it to open so quickly. Now, after Jin Wuqian reminded him, he immediately remembered.

So, under Jin Wuqian's lead, they went all the way to the spare flesh and blood pool in the zombie flesh and blood processing factory.

At this moment, a strong bloody smell permeated the huge pool, but it was empty inside. All the zombie flesh and blood had disappeared without a trace, as if they had been devoured by some terrifying existence.

In the center of the pool, the originally gray package was covered with an undissolvable layer of blood red, emitting an indescribable bloody smell.

And on the top of the tightly sealed package, like petals, a crack appeared.

Zheng Yi walked forward, not getting too close. His gaze slightly condensed, and his expression became more serious.

"There is actually something inside? It's not empty..."

He reached out and found that there was a substance inside the package that isolated consciousness. No matter how powerful your spiritual consciousness was, you couldn't penetrate it and see what was hidden inside.

This was one of the reasons why gambling treasures became popular and drove people crazy.

Helpless, Zheng Yi walked forward and gently cut a huge hole in the outer layer of the package with a spare refined iron flying sword.

Immediately, the dense blood light dissipated, and the outer gray bag disappeared directly, leaving only a piece of blood-red jade slip, as well as a plain and withered lotus seed.

"There really is something!"

Seeing the exposed items, Zheng Yi was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that there would be something inside.

Moreover, the red jade slip was so red that it seemed to be soaked in blood, as if it had eaten its fill. Zheng Yi finally understood where the massive essence of zombie flesh and blood had gone.

After sensing for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Zheng Yi reached out and the palm-sized red jade slip fell into his hand.

Zheng Yi's spiritual consciousness gently probed into it, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"The Secret Record of Blood Lotus Embryo and Hidden Lotus Flower!"

The information transmitted from the red jade slip was massive. Even with Zheng Yi's spiritual consciousness, it took a long time to digest it completely.

微微站起身来，Zheng Yi直接停顿在那里，半晌之后，他才吐出一口浊气，道：“真的是捡到宝了！”

This is definitely an ancient cultivation technique, completely different from the current cultivation methods. Zheng Yi couldn't determine the level of this Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record on the blood-colored jade slip. The profoundness of the Law Manifestation recorded inside was beyond his current knowledge of cultivation techniques.

However, it can be certain that this Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record is extremely precious, at least a secret method for Foundation Building that reaches the Gold Core stage.

If it were to be spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

Back then, when Zheng Yi was in the Assimilating Soul Sect, he had entered the inner sect's hall of transmitted techniques, but the highest cultivation technique he could find was the Body Refining technique "Mysterious Devil Body Tempering Art" and the "Black Devil Technique," as well as the secret record for refining the Soul Seizing Banner.

As for whether the Assimilating Soul Sect had higher-level cultivation techniques, Zheng Yi believed that they definitely did, at least techniques that reached the Violet Palace stage.

But a cultivation technique that could be practiced all the way to the Gold Core stage like this, he couldn't determine if the Assimilating Soul Sect had it. However, even in the upper sect of the Assimilating Soul Sect, the Swallowing Star Demon City, it was still an extremely precious inheritance.

He picked up the dusty and withered lotus seed that appeared together with the Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record.

This is the Blood Lotus Seed, and it is also the key to cultivating the Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record.

Zheng Yi examined the lotus seed and found that it was not much different from an ordinary lotus seed. However, due to the lack of nutrition for a long time, it was extremely withered, and he couldn't sense if there was any vitality in it.

"According to the Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record, in order to cultivate the Blood Lotus Seed and make it bloom and bear fruit, a massive amount of cultivator's flesh and blood is needed."

"This special form of the Blood Lotus Seed has a very ancient origin and requires the essence of cultivator's flesh and blood as nourishment in order to grow. This seed is missing its original source, so it probably requires even more cultivator's flesh and blood."

Zheng Yi's eyes flickered with brilliance as he silently pondered.

Spiritual plant Foundation Building.

Yes, the Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record recorded in this jade slip is indeed a spiritual plant Foundation Building cultivation technique.

Or, it could also be called a demonic plant Foundation Building technique.

And that withered lotus seed is the key to Foundation Building in conjunction with this set of secret techniques.

Zheng Yi never expected that after obtaining the "Five Elements Sword Foundation Building Art" from the true disciple of the Qi family who had been secretly ambushed, he would once again obtain a Foundation Building secret record.

And it was an even rarer spiritual plant Foundation Building technique.

However, ancient cultivation techniques like this, although they have their own mysteries, may not necessarily be stronger than the current techniques of the major sects.

The main reason why most ancient cultivation techniques have disappeared and not been passed down is that they may not be suitable for the current cultivation environment.

Just like this Blood Lotus Embryo Hidden Lotus Flower Secret Record, it requires the assistance of external objects to cultivate.

In ancient times, with abundant spiritual energy and countless natural treasures, many cultivation techniques relied on accumulation.

But in the current Immortal Domain, there is no longer the cultivation environment of ancient times, and all cultivation techniques tend to be more refined and convenient.

Neither side can be said to be better, as they both have bright prospects. In terms of consumption, ancient cultivation techniques are undoubtedly resource-intensive.

Just like the growth conditions of this Blood Lotus Seed, it is extremely demanding, clearly a monster that devours cultivators' flesh and blood.

In the Immortal Domain, there are cultivators everywhere, and even in the Demon Realm, the cultivators here are fierce and brutal, engaged in killing almost all the time. There are also a considerable number of cultivators who die every day.

But if you want to collect the flesh and blood of hundreds or even thousands of cultivators, it is also an extremely difficult task.

It means that you need to at least annihilate one or even several significant forces to gather enough cultivators' flesh and blood.
