What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Seeing this, I did not disturb him, but went straight into the inner room and carefully placed the heavy black wooden box next to the jade box.

After doing all that, I returned to the living room and, imitating Li Qing, collapsed onto the sofa on the other side without any regard for appearances.

"Hey, Old Chen, you got the knife back?"

Taking advantage of a gap in the game character's movement across the map, Li Qing quickly glanced at me and casually asked a question.

"Yes, I got it back. Lu Yan even provided a special box for it, which is quite suitable."

I found a comfortable position to lean back, let out a long sigh, and felt my bones go completely relaxed.

"Great, that's impressive."

"Now that everything is done, let's discuss what to eat for dinner."

These past few days at the hospital, I've been eating those bland, watery "nutritious" meals with you all the time, and my mouth is practically watering at the thought of eating them.

How about we go to that grilled fish place at the entrance of the old street? The kind with lots of chili and cumin?

"Okay, whatever you say."

I smiled and replied, my tone very calm.

We enjoyed our dinner that night very much.

The unique spicy and savory flavor of Jiangcheng glides into the stomach along the taste buds, as if sweeping away all the gloom and fatigue that have been building up in my heart during this period.

……

Time flies, like sand slipping through your fingers.

Before we knew it, half a month had slipped away quietly.

After spending the last two weeks staying at home, my injuries have completely healed.

The gruesome knife wound on his chest has now completely healed.

Although the new skin and flesh look a little light in color, you can no longer feel any pain when you press it, and it is even more resilient than before.

However, it's more accurate to say that I spent the last two weeks resting and recuperating.

Rather, I would say I was hiding at home undergoing a high-intensity retreat.

Under the premise of ensuring that I do not damage my meridians, I meditate and practice breathing exercises almost all the time.

It guides the evil energy within the body to circulate throughout the body.

However, Tingyuxuan, as Li Qing's long-established base, had its feng shui layout transformed into a treasure land that gathers and retains auspicious energy.

For ordinary people or those who practice Taoist internal energy, this is naturally an excellent place for self-cultivation.

But for someone like me who works as a corpse stitcher and makes a living by relying on evil energy, this environment seems a bit too "clean".

The amount of malevolent energy floating in the air is negligible, far less than that of an environment like a funeral home.

In order to solve the problem of my low cultivation efficiency, I specifically sought out Li Qing and asked him to help me think of a solution.

After listening to my request, Li Qing rolled her eyes and complained about me for a full ten minutes.

They said I was wasting a precious resource, turning a perfectly good feng shui location into a mess.

Despite his complaints, he decisively stopped playing the game, took out a compass and a few small flags, and spent the entire afternoon painstakingly fiddling with them in the empty guest room at the far end of the third floor.

In the end, he used several old objects with yin energy as the key points of the formation, and forcefully isolated a small "gathering evil energy formation" for me in this feng shui treasure land, which was specifically used to gather the surrounding yin energy.

"Alright, the formation is set up."

This formation can only draw in the weak, wandering evil energy within a radius of a few hundred meters; it will not affect the overall feng shui of Tingyuxuan.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want in this room."

Li Qing dusted off his hands and pointed to the room, saying to me.

With the help of this evil-gathering formation, my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

Perhaps seeing that I spent all my time eating, sleeping, and meditating, which was going a bit too far, Li Qing seemed to have been provoked as well.

He even stopped playing his favorite games and locked himself in his room every day, tinkering with talismans and array plates.

When she occasionally came out to get water, she had dark circles under her eyes and was muttering to herself.

This period of intensive training has not only brought my depleted body back to its peak condition.

Furthermore, because of the destruction and reconstruction in Qing Shi Town, the quality of the evil energy has become more refined.

It has allowed my overall strength to take another big leap forward without me even realizing it.

In fact, if it's just about accumulating the consumed negative energy again, it wouldn't take half a month at all.

In the past two weeks, I've actually spent most of my time and energy refining the quality of the "evil energy".

The boost I received from absorbing the two top-grade Xuan Yin Sha Crystals that I exchanged from the headquarters last time wasn't as dramatic as I had expected.

That experience made me realize that at this stage, the total amount of malevolent energy in my body has probably encountered a bottleneck that is extremely difficult to overcome.

Quantitative changes alone are no longer enough to lead to qualitative changes.

Since that's the case, I decisively adjusted my approach and focused all my cultivation efforts on refining the quality of my malevolent energy.

Every time I meditate, I control my mind and repeatedly crush and purify every trace of malevolent energy in my body within the malevolent core.

This relentless pursuit of quality, though tedious and slow, is a process that demands the utmost attention to detail.

But I can clearly feel that the destructive power I can unleash now is far more terrifying than when I was simply pursuing quantity.

Perhaps this is the right direction to move towards the next higher stage after reaching the Dan realm.

Besides the daytime intensive training, my nightly routine has also undergone a dramatic change in the past two weeks.

Back in Qing Shi Town, I almost completely used up the cool aura in order to save my life.

The cool aura not only enhances my five senses, but it is also my only guarantee against the risk of going berserk when I use the "Sewing Technique".

Without it, I've lost a crucial trump card that could save my life in a critical moment.

So for the past two weeks, every night as soon as it got dark, I would put on an inconspicuous dark outfit, take my bone needles, and leave Tingyuxuan quietly.

I'm like a ghost wandering on the edge of the city, deliberately choosing places with heavy yin energy and few people around.

Abandoned unfinished buildings, an intersection where a major car accident once occurred, the site of an old hospital that has been in disrepair for many years...

These places are often the favorite gathering spots for wandering ghosts and spirits.

Because of this nocturnal lifestyle, Li Qing often teased me.

One morning, I had just returned from "stitching ghosts" outside, and I pushed open the door, still covered in the night dew and a faint aura of yin energy.

Just then, they bumped into Li Qing, who was going to the toilet with messy hair.

He looked me up and down, yawned widely, and said with a look of disgust:

"Hey Lao Chen, you've been saved, but I bet you still have some kind of corpse poison from Qing Shi Town that you haven't completely gotten rid of?"

He stays up all night wandering around, and during the day he stays indoors and avoids the sun.

Are you planning to completely evolve into a zombie?
