The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 369: This Zombie Is Exactly What I Need

The trading session concluded quickly. Shang Xuanhe exchanged a few pleasantries with Qiu Wanhong before announcing the end of the event. The three of them, Chu Xuan, Shang Xingchen, and Wei Ji, split off and went their separate ways.

Chu Xuan used a teleportation technique and circled around the Spirit Wood Forest a few times, ensuring he had shaken off any potential trackers before returning to the great spirit stone mine.

Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji did the same. As Nascent Soul demonic cultivators who had fought their way through life, they were all far too sharp to be easily followed. The three who had been tailing them, Long Hao and his companions, revealed a look of helplessness as they lost track of their targets.

"These demonic cultivators are truly cunning. They don't give us any chance at all."

"Hmph, demonic cultivators have committed countless heinous deeds. They are just guilty and insecure. Their behavior of circling around is ingrained in their bones."

Long Hao scoffed, "It doesn't matter that we don't know where their base is this time. Sooner or later, they'll reveal themselves, and leave behind traces. When that happens, we can deal with them."

...

Back at the great spirit stone mine, as soon as Chu Xuan returned, he immediately deployed all his puppet beasts to guard the mine. He also sent out dozens of mining puppets to accelerate the extraction of the spirit stones.

The mine had long been under the watch of others. It was only a matter of time before someone would act, unable to hold back any longer. If he could finish mining the spirit stones before they attacked, there would be no need for a confrontation. Running away would be the best option. Fighting would only result in casualties—why bother?

Once the situation was secured, Chu Xuan stepped out and used the Myriad Realm Mirror to return to Blue Star. During the trading session, he had acquired numerous treasures. These items needed to be quickly converted into combat power.

The Black Flood Dragon Horn had to be refined into the Evil Soul Chain as soon as possible. This would not only increase the chain's toughness but might even provide the chance for it to evolve into a supreme-level magic treasure.

As for the Lotus Escape Technique, he needed to begin cultivation immediately. Once perfected, it would allow him to conceal his presence to the greatest extent. Anyone below Deity Transformation would be unable to see through his disguise.

There was also the Demonic Talisman Sutra and the Great Transformation Blood Demon True Art. Both were exceptional treasures. The former required human skin to create demon talismans, acquiring the human skin wasn't a problem. He could just peel it off the zombies.

"Zombies really are a treasure trove. Only the bones are missing. Too bad I couldn't get any cultivation methods related to the White Bone Path."

Chu Xuan clicked his tongue, feeling a great sense of regret.

The Heaven Shaking Divine Sect's affiliated fifth-tier cultivation sects did not practice the White Bone Dao, but many of the sect's own disciples seemed to have taken it as their primary cultivation method.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but wonder whether he might someday have the chance to collect the corpses of the sect's disciples… With that fleeting thought, he immediately assigned the task of skinning zombies to his subordinates.

Yet, just as he was about to proceed, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, sparking a new plan. He quickly used his teleportation technique to head straight to the farm.

Under the careful watch of his Corpse Puppets, including the Water Corpse Puppet, the farm had grown substantially in size, expanding fivefold. Now, it occupied an immense area, nearly covering half of East Lake City. Even the headquarters of Black Blade had been forced to relocate to accommodate the growing space.

Of course, no one in Black Blade had any objections. When the immortal gives an order, they follow it without hesitation. The higher-ups at Black Blade knew well that their standing and growth into the colossus that dominated Blue Star had only been possible due to the support of the immortal. Without the immortal, they would be nothing.

Take, for instance, the Four Founders of Black Blade. Back then, they were merely Level 2 Superhumans, insignificant in the grand scheme of things. At that time, the Lingjiang Army and the Ship Gang were far stronger than Black Blade—more influential, more powerful. If it weren't for the immortal's help, the founders would have perished in some dark and decayed corner, long before they could establish their current dominance. In the absence of the immortal, there would be no massive Black Blade that spanned the entire Blue Star. A person who doesn't even know where their strength comes from is walking the path to self-destruction.

Floating in mid-air, Chu Xuan made his way to the heart of the farm. There, the Zombie Matriarch and Zombie Empress were being meticulously guarded by Corpse Puppets. They lived a carefree life, being fed and tended to every day.

No matter how they felt about it, Chu Xuan certainly thought their existence was one of leisure. Both the Zombie Matriarch and Zombie Empress had reached the highest possible levels within Blue Star. They produced massive quantities of zombies daily, with each zombie swiftly pressed into service to further Chu Xuan's demonic path.

But there was another special kind of zombie they produced. These zombies had no human form left in them, resembling large, fleshy sacks instead.

Chu Xuan had dubbed these unique zombies "Flesh Sack Zombies", specifically for cultivating demonic plants that required the extraction of flesh and blood to thrive. But now, he had come up with a new idea.

Chu Xuan murmured to himself, "Skinning zombies is too much of a hassle. Why not create a type of zombie that retains only the human skin, discarding all the useless organs? This way, the excess energy can be used to produce even more zombies. Let's call it the Skin Zombie."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile at the idea he had just come up with. To put it simply, creating a full-bodied zombie—one with intact limbs, tough bones, and full muscles—might require ten units of energy. But creating a Skin Zombie could potentially cost just one unit of energy.

After all, the Skin Zombie didn't need bones, muscles, or much blood at all. The only thing that mattered was ensuring it was alive when it was produced. This way, not only would Chu Xuan acquire the human skin he needed, but he could also continue to accumulate meritorious deeds without any issues. It was a win-win situation for him—he'd get two benefits for the price of one!

Chu Xuan couldn't help but praise himself for his cleverness. He then sent his instructions to the Zombie Matriarch and Zombie Empress, who immediately obeyed without hesitation. They consumed large amounts of flesh and blood and began to breed the zombies according to his specifications.

At first, the result was a bit deformed. After all, it was their first attempt. But it didn't take long for them to perfect the design, shaping the zombies exactly as Chu Xuan wanted.

"Good, good, good! With this, the human skin will only need to be air-dried before being used directly to make demonic talismans. This eliminates the tedious process of skinning. If I had to skin them manually, I'd have to assign numerous Corpse Puppets to do the laborious work. There's also the risk that the skin wouldn't come off perfectly, and that would be a hassle."

Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. These zombies truly understood what he needed. They had grown into exactly the form he required.

With that matter settled, Chu Xuan returned to his residence on Blue Star. The grand hotel he had once owned had been completely demolished and transformed into a massive cave dwelling. It was now outfitted with all the necessary facilities: a pill refining room, a weapon forging room, a poison crafting room, an insect cultivation room, and more.

Chu Xuan had personally named it Water Curtain Cave, as a small tribute to his very first cave dwelling.

Sitting down cross-legged, he took out the "Great Transformation Blood Demon True Art" and placed the spiritual sense jade slip against his forehead, immersing himself in its contents. After quite some time, he finally removed the slip and frowned in contemplation.

"This really is a top-tier blood cultivation technique. The spells learned from each layer are impressive. But the daily blood consumption is far too much. If it really becomes unbearable, I may have to make the zombies suffer a little."

Chu Xuan sighed.
