Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 55: Procurement and Flight

This is a huge white mountain peak shaped like a skull, as if it were the skull of an ancient giant god that had fallen and left behind in the mortal world.

The mountain peak is incredibly high, reaching up into layers of clouds, and it is also incredibly large, so large that a person standing on top of it would appear as small as dust, almost invisible.

Any famous mountains and rivers in the mortal realm would seem like small mounds in front of it, not worth mentioning.

The interior of the mountain peak seems to have been hollowed out, leading directly to the depths of the earth. At the eye sockets of the skull, there are occasional bursts of burning purple-black demonic flames, as if it were a volcano, connected to the underground Strange Fire veins.

This mountain is called the Myriad Demons Mountain, and from its name, one can see that it is the headquarters of the inner sect of the Myriad Demons Cave, the true core area.

In the clouds, high-level cultivators occasionally fly across the sky, either using strange escape techniques or commanding ferocious flying monsters, displaying their formidable aura.

At the foot of the Myriad Demons Mountain, in an inconspicuous and quiet courtyard.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Liang Xiao, dressed in a purple robe, sat cross-legged under a thousand-year-old maple tree in the courtyard, practicing his techniques and refining his mana.

Pandora sat obediently on a swing bench next to him, her small mouth slightly open, instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of this place.

From the fluctuations of his mana, it turns out that Pandora has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, her cultivation speed is surprisingly fast, and the bottleneck from the early to mid-stage of Qi Refining seems non-existent for her.

Suddenly, Liang Xiao formed hand seals with his hands, slowly ending his practice. He opened his eyes, and within his pupils, a golden flame burned, extinguishing only after a while.

"This Golden Crow Refining Sun Technique is indeed powerful. I obtained the upper volume from Qin Long, which is enough for me to cultivate to the Foundation Building Stage!"

"Unfortunately, the inheritance Qin Long obtained is somewhat incomplete. The lower volume, which is enough for cultivation up to the Nascent Soul stage, is something she doesn't even have. It will be troublesome in the future!"

After finishing his practice, Liang Xiao stood up and looked into the distance, relaxing his mind while silently counting his cultivation resources in order to plan his next cultivation schedule.

"The treasures from the Earth Fire Great Hall expedition, excluding some hard-to-value treasure maps and cultivation notes, amount to more than thirty thousand spirit stones. The value of artifact refining materials and alchemy ingredients is even higher, estimated to be around fifty thousand spirit stones!"

"As for other ready-made pills and Law Weapons, most of them are only useful at the Gold Core stage, which I can't use with my Qi Refining cultivation. They are also difficult to show off, becoming a bit of a disappointment."

"I did manage to obtain a Fire Chi Bead, which is just right for me to use in conjunction with the True Sun Fire, as a hidden card."

"As for spells, I don't currently lack any. Even if I need them, I can completely rely on the Hundred Tribulations Old Ghost for free. So now, what I lack is Law Weapons."

"I need to prepare at least one defensive Law Weapon, one flying Law Weapon, and one regular attack Law Weapon."

With a plan in mind, Liang Xiao immediately called Pandora and the two of them left the courtyard.

Soon, Liang Xiao took out the jade token given to him by the steward Yu Fan of the inner sect's miscellaneous affairs hall. After infusing it with mana, a spiritual light flashed.

The entire courtyard was enveloped in a prohibition formation, making it impossible for outsiders to enter casually.

"I'm going to the outer sect's Little Ghost Hall to observe the grand competition today. There's still some time, so I might as well stop by the inner sect's artifact refining hall. They sell Law Weapons of better quality and a wider variety than the outer sect's artifact refining hall."

In no time, Liang Xiao, accompanied by Pandora, arrived at the inner sect's artifact refining hall.

There were people coming and going here, mostly inner sect disciples, many of whom cast hidden and greedy glances at Pandora.

Although Liang Xiao had only become an inner sect disciple a day or two ago, his face was already known to many because of the Flying Zombie.

The Flying Zombie's aptitude is almost equivalent to that of a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator. In the Myriad Demons Cave, only a few core disciples and elders who are good at refining corpses possess such a rare existence.

Unfortunately, after they learned that Liang Xiao had a Gold Core ancestor behind him, they tacitly gave up on causing trouble for him.

Although the Flying Zombie is good, it is nothing compared to a Gold Core ancestor.

At this moment, all I can do is stare at Pandora and swallow my saliva, just to satisfy my eyes.

Liang Xiao ignored these scenes and skillfully walked to the counter, stating his requirements for a Law Weapon to the female disciple inside.

After a while, the female disciple brought out several standardized Law Weapons from the Myriad Demons Cave for him to choose from.

The characteristic of a standardized Law Weapon is its strong universality and stable quality. It is quite popular among the disciples of the Myriad Demons Cave and does not have any obvious shortcomings or loopholes.

For example, the binding corpse net used by the outer disciple Huasong is one of the lower-end types among the standardized Law Weapons.

Huasong's net might even be a practice work of an artifact refining disciple.

Because the female disciples in the inner artifact refining hall brought out binding corpse nets that were much more spiritual than the one Liang Xiao had seen before.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Xiao selected three of them, and the female disciple introduced them immediately.

"The Blood Silk Umbrella, a Low Grade defensive Spirit Weapon. The umbrella surface is made of several types of mutated blood silkworm silk, with excellent resistance to spells. The umbrella frame is made of a mixture of spiritual bamboo and refined mysterious iron, making it extremely sturdy and durable! When fully deployed, it can even block attacks from Foundation Building Stage cultivators for a short period of time."

"The Bone Boat, a Low Grade flying Spirit Weapon. The raw materials are the bones of more than a dozen flying monsters, which have been refined with spiritual fire and engraved with wind-based restrictions. It has excellent speed and can accommodate two to three people. Its characteristic is being very agile and consumes very little spiritual energy. However, correspondingly, the hull cannot withstand too many attacks and has relatively weak armor."

"The Black Demon Penetrating Mirror, a Middle Grade offensive Spirit Weapon. It is made from a whole piece of underground black crystal, capable of gathering powerful black Mysterious Light. It is suitable for medium to long-range attacks and has two different attack modes. It is extremely practical and is the signature Law Weapon of our Myriad Demons Cave disciples!"

Liang Xiao took out a bag of spirit stones and said casually, "I'll take them all."

The female disciple in front of him showed a surprised expression.

It should be noted that the grade of these three Law Weapons is all Spirit Weapon, not pseudo Spirit Weapon. They can be used up to the Foundation Building Stage, and their prices are quite high.

The Blood Silk Umbrella costs 1,500 spirit stones, the Bone Boat costs 1,800 spirit stones, and the Black Demon Penetrating Mirror is the most expensive, costing a whopping 2,300 spirit stones.

This adds up to a total of 5,600 spirit stones, which is undoubtedly a huge sum for a Qi Refining Stage disciple.

However, after quickly counting the spirit stones with her spiritual sense, the female disciple found that the number was accurate.

"These Law Weapons are yours, Senior Brother."

Liang Xiao nodded and, after initially refining them with his spiritual power, successfully left the artifact refining hall with the three Law Weapons.

First, he released the Bone Boat, and Liang Xiao and Pandora stepped onto it. With just a little input of spiritual power, the bottom of the boat emitted a faint light.

Then, a gust of wind surged out, carrying them up into the sky, reaching a height of a hundred meters!

However, perhaps due to his proficiency, this Bone Boat was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, swaying in the air as if it were drunk.

It took a while to gradually stabilize, maintaining a leisurely pace as it flew towards the teleportation array leading to the outer sect residence.

Even so, it was still faster than Liang Xiao using the Gui Ying Steps on the ground!

"Phew, so this is flying. It really feels extraordinary, a bit like skiing or surfing. It requires some skill and experience, not something you can do right away!"

Liang Xiao almost lost his balance because he didn't control the amount of spiritual power input properly. Fortunately, Pandora flapped her wings and grabbed his arm, preventing him from falling from the sky and becoming a pile of mud.

After finally stabilizing his figure, Liang Xiao gradually found some tricks and began to try to open his arms to maintain balance.

Feeling the strong wind blowing in his face, he looked back at the peculiar shape of the skull-like Wanmo Mountain and the vast world it reflected.

Liang Xiao smiled from the bottom of his heart.

This was a kind of satisfaction that was purer than physical pleasure.
