Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

Chapter 5 – Zombie as the furnace, cultivating Blood Tooth Fruit

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Chu Xuan was devouring a steaming bowl of fish and shrimp instant noodles.

He found it incredibly satisfying.

Instant noodles can get tiresome if eaten every day.

But if you stop eating them for a while, you start to miss the taste.

For Chu Xuan, who had been in the cultivation world for decades, the flavor was deeply nostalgic.

At this moment, a fire pit was blazing in front of Chu Xuan.

Moments later, he wolfed down the instant noodles.

The flames were nearly out, and he used two sticks to poke something out of the fire pit.

It was the Blood Mirror.

The Blood Mirror showed no signs of being scorched by the flames.

Instead, its glow was even brighter than before.

Chu Xuan glanced at the image within the Blood Mirror.

Clear skies, beautiful mountains, and rivers.

It was the place he had first crossed over to.

Now, one-fifth of the image was brightened.

Once fully bright, he should be able to cross back.

He had discovered that the Blood Mirror automatically absorbed energy from the world to recharge.

All kinds of energy were acceptable.

Spiritual energy, killing intent, yin energy, or biological, thermal, light, and electrical energy.

He threw the Blood Mirror into the fire pit to let it absorb thermal energy.

At this rate, it should be fully charged in about a month.

Just then, an excited low growl came from not far away, belonging to the Corpse Soldier.

Before long, the Corpse Soldier appeared before Chu Xuan, carrying two barrels of gasoline.

It had just returned from hunting zombies.

Chu Xuan had also instructed it to

Then, he took a Breeding Bag from his Storage Bag and filled it with some rice-sized red seeds.

The red seeds quickly took root upon contact with flesh.

In just a few blinks, they sprouted red buds a centimeter long.

Their leaves were sharp triangles.

Crimson and sinister.

Swaying gently in the breeze, they resembled the sharp fangs of a demonic beast.

Chilling to the bone.

This spiritual plant was called "Blood Demon Fang."

It fed on flesh and blood, disliking spiritual energy.

It took a month for them to flower and bear fruit.

The fruit was called "Blood Tooth Fruit."

It was precisely the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure needed for the Blood Steel Wire to cocoon.

After consuming the Blood Tooth Fruit, the Blood Steel Wire's speed and strength would significantly increase.

Moreover, there was a chance to learn the best innate spell.

At such times, the more Blood Tooth Fruit consumed, the higher the chance of learning a top-tier innate spell.

Chu Xuan had studied the Gu Control Technique for years and knew this information by heart.

***

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the enthusiastic and selfless zombies around, Chu Xuan's realm had naturally advanced to Qi Refining level six.

Little Tiger wasn't bad either, reaching level five Corpse Soldier.

"They're finally ripe."

Chu Xuan stood before the two zombies, smiling at the heavy fruits on the Blood Demon Fang branches.

Throughout the month, Chu Xuan fed the two zombies a piece or two of zombie meat every other day to keep them alive.

This ensured a continuous supply of nutrients for the Blood Demon Fang.

Despite this, after a month, the two zombies were emaciated, skin and bones.

Their flesh and blood had been completely drained by the Blood Demon Fang.

Chu Xuan quickly harvested the Blood Tooth Fruit.

The shriveled zombies were left for Little Tiger to make use of.

Little Tiger squatted to the side, happily eating its lunch.

Chu Xuan examined the ten thumb-sized Blood Tooth Fruits in his palm.

Marveling at them.

Back when the Wuji Sect was still around, the sect had specialists cultivating Blood Tooth Fruit.

However, they were very expensive, requiring twenty sect contribution points for an exchange.

Roughly estimated, at least eighty Small Spirit Stones.

Back then, he didn't have many Spirit Stones, so he couldn't exchange for Blood Tooth Fruit.

But now, these Blood Tooth Fruits lay quietly in his palm.

Their total value was a whopping eight hundred Small Spirit Stones.

Far exceeding Chu Xuan's entire net worth from before.

"The furnace is inexhaustible, this is truly a great place."

Chu Xuan sighed with emotion, bringing the Blood Tooth Fruit to the Blood Steel Wire's mouth.

Chomp.

One after another.

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Steel Wire devoured all ten Blood Tooth Fruits.

Then it fell into a deep slumber.

No matter how Chu Xuan poked it, it remained motionless.

Upon closer inspection, the Blood Steel Wire was now completely enveloped in a brown-red cocoon.

Clearly, it had truly begun cocooning.

In no more than ten days, the Blood Steel Wire would emerge from its cocoon, becoming a First Transformation Gu with innate spells!

"By then, I should probably go back and take a look."

"I need to replenish spiritual plant seeds and exchange some Spirit Stones to set up formations."

"Looks like I'll have to squeeze some benefits from my fellow disciples."

Chu Xuan smiled as he looked at the hundreds of Blood Pearls in his Storage Bag.

These were the results of his daily Blood Transformation Technique, purifying zombie blood.

Blood Pearls were a great supplement for cultivation.

Cultivators from demonic sects could hardly resist such temptation.
