The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

"This cultivation speed..." Chu Xuan marveled as he refined the Ice Soul Crystal before him, feeling the robust growth of his Nascent Soul. Now imbued with the Acquired Miraculous Jade, he possessed an Ice Soul Spirit Body along with his earthly-grade Ice Spirit Root. Coupled with demonic spiritual objects like the Ice Soul Crystal, his cultivation speed for the Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll was astonishingly rapid.

Additionally, Chu Xuan had previously received the Heavenly Dao Dew, which had substantially enlarged his Nascent Soul. Now, truly embarking on the cultivation of the Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll, his progress surged dramatically. In just ten years, he had thickly accumulated and thinly emerged, reaching the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage. He now stood at the pinnacle among early Nascent Soul cultivators!

"Regrettably, the formation of the Ice Soul Crystal is still too slow. I need to find more millennium ice crystals," Chu Xuan lamented, crushing the now dim and lusterless Ice Soul Crystal in his hand. His supply of millennium ice crystals was nearly depleted. It was time to find more.

...

Myriad Souls Sect, Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Xuan found himself visiting this place again. Previously, it was here in the Treasure Pavilion that he had exchanged for some millennium ice crystals, claiming he needed them to cultivate a secret ice technique.

"Ah, who is that?" Chu Xuan entered the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion and noticed two people conversing.

"Brother Wan, in this vast Treasure Pavilion, feel free to choose anything you like. The master has instructed that you may take one item," one of them said.

"I shall respectfully take you up on that offer," responded the other.

Chu Xuan followed the voices and saw two figures selecting treasures. One of them had a familiar silhouette. The two men also noticed the movement behind them and turned around to see Chu Xuan. One was a tall, muscular cultivator with a fierce scar across his brow. The other appeared somewhat aged, with flecks of silver in his temples.

Upon seeing the face of the second man, Chu Xuan was surprised and even found it somewhat amusing. Wan Wuying? How had he appeared in the Myriad Souls Sect? It seemed he had become a Golden Core cultivator of the Myriad Souls Sect.

Chu Xuan bowed to the scarred cultivator, "Greetings, Senior Brother Bai."

This scarred cultivator was named Bai Jinkun, the second disciple under the Myriad Souls Elder, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. Bai Jinkun glanced at Chu Xuan and sneered internally, though his face remained expressionless.

"It really is Junior Brother Lin; it's been a long time," Bai Jinkun greeted with a jovial laugh. He then enthusiastically introduced Wan Wuying, "Brother Wan, let me introduce you. This is Lin Fan, Junior Brother Lin, who has taken charge of the Black Evil Peak."

"Your assigned Extreme Yin Peak isn't far from Black Evil Peak; you two should interact more often." Bai Jinkun turned towards Chu Xuan, "Junior Brother Lin, this is Wan Ying. He was gravely injured and saved by our master, and now he is also joining our Myriad Souls Sect."

Wan Wuying glanced at Chu Xuan and bowed, "I am Wan Ying, newly joined to the Myriad Souls Sect, greetings to fellow daoist."

Chu Xuan smiled, "Lin Fan of the Black Evil Peak, pleased to meet fellow daoist."

Wan Wuying nodded and then continued browsing the treasures. He didn't pay much mind to Lin Fan. In the Myriad Souls Sect, there were many Golden Core cultivators, and he, being a cautious person, had quickly familiarized himself with the ins and outs of the place. He was well aware of Lin Fan's status as a Golden Core stage cultivator, but that was all.

Wan Wuying was a Golden Core fifth level himself; a mere first-level Golden Core cultivator was not worth his effort to remember. Rather, it was Bai Jinkun by his side who deserved more attention.

Chu Xuan observed Wan Wuying closely. Wan Wuying was a cautious and ruthless person. It seemed unlikely that he would join the Myriad Souls Sect of his own volition. Perhaps he was coerced or kept in the dark.

Chu Xuan could be sure that Wan Wuying did not fully understand what kind of sect the Myriad Souls Sect truly was. Myriad Souls Elder would surely impose soul restrictions on his Golden Core disciples.

To outsiders, they appeared as illustrious Golden Core cultivators, direct disciples of a Nascent Soul elder. In reality, they were nothing more than slaves to the Myriad Souls Elder, without any time to cultivate themselves and constantly serving the Elder's needs.

However, Chu Xuan could not say much at the moment. He just nodded to Wan Wuying and continued his search for millennium ice crystals. Once teacher and student, and formerly senior brothers, they still shared some camaraderie. If convenient in the future, he might lend Wan Wuying a hand.

Shortly, Chu Xuan exchanged for three pieces of millennium ice crystals and turned to leave the Treasure Pavilion. Bai Jinkun noticed Chu Xuan's actions and pondered. He smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Lin, you practice a metal attribute technique, right? Why do you need millennium ice crystals? I still have a few millennium ice crystals; if you need them, I can sell them to you at a low price."

Chu Xuan had his excuses ready and immediately claimed he needed them to practice a powerful ice attribute secret technique.

"Millennium ice crystals are precious. Doesn't Senior Brother also need them for cultivating ice attribute techniques? I'll find them on my own," Chu Xuan replied with a humble demeanor.

Bai Jinkun saw nothing amiss and nodded, "Go ahead then, Junior Brother, and remember to cultivate diligently. The master has expressed some dissatisfaction with you."

Chu Xuan expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother," and then he left.

Wan Wuying watched Chu Xuan's retreating figure, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He didn't know why, but he felt that this Lin Fan, with his hidden agendas and profound thoughts, reminded him of someone deeply etched in his memory...

Returning to Black Evil Peak, Chu Xuan stroked his chin, lost in thought. Wan Wuying, Zhao Wuya, and Huang Yuanwu had witnessed "Huikong" kill Yun Zhongyu. They must have also heard about the skilled alchemist, He Liang, from the extraterritorial battlefield's City of Heavenly Swords. With their cleverness, they should have guessed that "He Liang" was him, Chu Xuan.

However, Chu Xuan had yet to see those three seeking him out. The collapse of the extraterritorial battlefield had been too abrupt, leaving many matters unresolved before he had to return to Mystic Azure. Naturally, he hadn't met them since.

"Wan Wuying survived and left the extraterritorial battlefield, but what about the other two?" Chu Xuan wondered briefly but then dismissed the thought. The affairs of others were none of his concern. He had returned to Blue Star and continued his cultivation.

...

After five years of cultivating on Blue Star, Chu Xuan suddenly furrowed his brows. He instantly used the Blood Mirror to return to his cultivation chamber at Black Evil Peak. Outside the door, Zhu Jie's respectful voice could be heard, "Elder, Elder Bai Jinkun has sent someone."

"What for?" Chu Xuan inquired.

"Elder Bai has made progress in his cultivation, advancing to the late stage of Golden Core, and is inviting all the elders of the Myriad Souls Sect to a banquet," Zhu Jie explained with respect.

"Do you need me to decline the invitation for you?" he added.

Chu Xuan sighed lightly but stepped out of his chamber. The discomfort of role-playing was palpable. As Lin Fan, with his character, strength, and status, he could not afford to miss such a gathering. Absenting himself without a good reason would only arouse suspicion among the other Golden Core cultivators. He had no choice but to attend.

"Why must the promotion happen now of all times? It's just an advancement from the sixth to the seventh level of Golden Core. Is there really a need to host a banquet for this?"

Chu Xuan grumbled internally. He prepared a modest gift, suitable for Lin Fan's status. It was not overly expensive, but it was presentable enough.

Then, he made his way to Scorpio Peak, where Bai Jinkun's dwelling was located.
