The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

As the old saying goes.

A gentleman takes revenge from morning till night.

Zhu Yu refused to believe that three mid-grade first-level talismans couldn't subdue a mere low-grade first-level demonic insect. He had already figured out how to roast the demonic insect after capturing it!

Scorch them mercilessly!

We must avenge Xiao Hei!

"Little Black, that is, your master. No one else would spend so much money to avenge you. Work hard, make something of yourself, and become a Zerg cultivator as soon as possible."

Zhu Yu patted the little black head beside him, flicked his long sleeves, and walked towards the classroom with his hands behind his back.

Squeak…

Little Black squeaked twice, perhaps still traumatized. As it walked, its little eyes darted around cautiously, as if a dagger-wielding demonic insect might suddenly appear at any moment.

Looking mysterious...

Zhu Yu didn't have a good solution to this either.

As Xiao Hei consumed the food prepared by Xingkong Muye, its cultivation level didn't increase much, but its intelligence grew day by day, making it increasingly clever.

As the saying goes, they've started to develop a brain!

This is precisely why feelings of fear and anxiety arise...

This can be seen.

Sometimes having too much of a brain isn't good either.

As the five full moons under the dome emitted their silvery glow, and one full moon gradually appeared, Zhu Yu arrived at the teaching location, greeted Liang Kuan who was waiting outside the door, and hurriedly went up to the third floor.

"Um?"

Following behind, Liang Kuan noticed the crisscrossing knife marks on Xiao Hei's carapace and the gaping incisors. His brows furrowed, and a dark shadow flashed across his oily face. He quickened his pace, approaching Zhu Yu's side, and said in a low voice:

"Junior Brother Zhu, is someone causing you trouble?"

"what?"

Zhu Yu was taken aback. Seeing him glance at Xiao Hei out of the corner of his eye, he immediately understood what was going on. An embarrassed look flashed across his face as he shook his head and said, "No, it's just that a rather peculiar demonic insect has bred in the corpse ground. It's nothing to worry about."

"A demonic insect?"

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Liang Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, his fierce look disappeared, and he grinned, saying, "If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know, Junior Brother."

"it is good."

Zhu Yu smiled and nodded, then stepped to the classroom with a suitable smile on his face and pushed open the door.

"Greetings, Master Zhu..."

"Fellow disciples, you are too kind. Today, we will be discussing the patterns and rules for drawing the three-ring design..."

The number of students has increased from twenty to thirty.

At Zhu Yu's suggestion, Xiang Sui set the total number of students at around one hundred, and divided them into three batches based on their progress in meditation.

This method saves time and effort, and studying every three days allows students to digest the knowledge they have acquired previously.

.....

Time flows like water.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Saying goodbye to students whose minds are now brimming with knowledge.

Zhu Yu put away his 180 low-grade spirit stones, making his purse even fuller. He greeted Liang Kuan, who was on his way to deliver the spirit stones to Xiang Sui, and left with Xiao Hei.

Enter the market.

Thinking of retrieving the "Grass Spirit Technique" lineage diagram from the corpse seed's body, he spent thirty spirit stones at a shop that specializes in selling spiritual items to buy a bottle of spiritual spring containing attribute-less spiritual energy, weighing about ten pounds.

They immediately left the market without lingering.

They traveled without stopping, returning to the underworld.

Upon reaching the foot of its own mound, Xiao Hei hesitated, a wave of fear and anxiety washing over it.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here with my master!"

Zhu Yu patted the little black shell reassuringly, urging it to climb the mound. He looked around, his hands tightly gripping two talismans, one green and one blue, ready to activate them at any moment.

They reached the top of the hill without encountering any demonic insects.

Zhu Yu dared not be careless in the slightest. He waved his hand and instructed Xiao Hei to take the stone bottle containing the spiritual spring and hide in the wooden house. His eyes turned to the three acres of lush corpse ground, and his thoughts stirred slightly.

A pale gray protective shield appeared on his body, and one after another, black corpse beetles with gray stripes crawled out of his palm, their wings vibrating as they slowly circled around him.

Of course, this is just a superficial approach.

The real weapon against the demonic insects was the first-tier mid-grade "Thousand Vine Talisman" and "Ice Arrow Talisman," hidden in his sleeve and concealed by spiritual power, in an activated state.

Everything is ready.

"Let's see how you escape this time..."

Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes and slowly walked towards the corpses.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Huh...did they leave?"

Zhu Yu walked around the three acres of corpse ground but did not see the mantis demon insect. He was surprised and regretful.

Surprisingly, the mantis demon insect left. It's a pity that it seems we can't subdue this exceptionally gifted insect.

He shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about it, withdrew the spiritual power from the talisman, put it into his inner pocket, and walked towards the small grave mound in the center of the corpse.

They came closer.

With a slight thought, Zhu Yu felt a corpse beetle hovering beside him flutter its wings and land, burrowing into the grave mound.

In his mind, the corpse beetle quickly crawled to the head of the coiled tiger corpse, its body dissolving like water and slowly seeping into the space between its eyebrows.

A short while later.

Roar…

A roar suddenly echoed in Zhu Yu's mind, and then he felt a close connection coming from the grave mound in front of him. A chaotic and disordered thought, many times stronger than Xiao Hei's, surged into his mind.

"Hmm! This is... a spiritual awakening?"

With a slight thought, Zhu Yu shielded himself from the chaotic and disordered thoughts surging from the tiger corpse, squatted down, placed his palm on the grave mound, and stared intently at it.

[Target: Tiger Corpse]

Race: Tiger

[Bloodline: Contains a trace of an unknown tiger-type demon beast bloodline "unawakened"]

[Non-product quality: 32%]

[Effects: Strengthens skin, bones, and muscles]

Status: Chaotic

"It has indeed given birth to a spiritual being!..."

Upon seeing the status of the tiger's corpse, Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "I didn't expect 'Corpse Control Technique' to have such an effect..."

Now, spirituality converges.

Next, we can begin cultivating the "Tiger Corpse Species".

Open this blind box!

"Hopefully there will be a surprise, if it's a second-tier bloodline..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel excited. That was a bloodline comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Person. With such a refining corpse protecting him, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the future?

Xiao Hei is good too, but...

Yes, the future belongs to it!

After checking again and confirming that the tiger's carcass was free of worms and showed no signs of decay, Zhu Yu couldn't wait to leave the area. He summoned Xiao Hei, who was hiding in the wooden house, jumped onto its carapace, and urged it on:

"Let's go, Little Black, to the Starry Sky Corridor..."

Squeak…

Little Black, completely unaware that it was about to lose its status as a mount, let out an excited neigh and dashed down the hill like the wind.

The path is not far.

A mournful scream suddenly came from a mound.

"You damned beast! My corpse seed!..."

"Um?"

Zhu Yu looked at the mound not far from the road with a puzzled expression. Points of spiritual light appeared, and he could vaguely hear shouts and curses. Without thinking much about it, he urged Xiao Hei to leave.

……

One hour later.

A mound, a place of corpses.

Zhu Yu carried a small water vat to the grave mound in the center of the burial ground, gently patted open the mud seal, and immediately, a clear and exotic fragrance wafted out, causing the blood and qi in his body to stir slightly.

The arm is tilted.

A slightly viscous, crimson liquid flowed out.
