Chapter 67 - 56: Playing Possum
March 6th, five days before the county exam for the student rank.
Xu Qing turned a deaf ear to the outside world, swinging his shovel and hoe, digging pits endlessly in the courtyard.
If zombies merely rely on absorbing moonlight Yin Qi for cultivation, their transformation speed is extremely slow. Thus, zombies often consume raw flesh and blood, killing living beings to seize their life force and enhance their cultivation.
Xu Qing wasn’t very interested in seeking human blood, as it was too risky and immoral.
After all, who could guarantee that they wouldn’t encounter a high master during their hunt?
After much contemplation, he decided that following the vegetarian method detailed in the Corpse Nourishing Scripture and seeking various materials to quicken the cultivation process was the safest approach.
This method was no different from how cultivators gathered precious materials to refine elixirs and enhance their cultivation.
Now, among the key Yin items needed for nurturing the Silver Armored Wandering Corpse, Xu Qing had already found the highest quality Yin Spirit Jade and the Old Cat Evil, specially refined, extracted from a cat-faced zombie. The only thing missing was the Ghost-faced Soil three feet beneath a grave.
Ghost-faced Soil is the layer of soil resembling a ghost face found three feet below a grave.
This type of Yin material usually forms in places rich in Yin Sha energy, most commonly found in the Chaotic Burial Mounds and Imperial Mausoleums.
