Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 3 [The Secret of Planting Seeds].

Zheng Que's face suddenly changed. He turned his head stiffly and immediately saw a blood-red figure standing upright at the end of his bed.

The figure looked like a human, but it had no skin. The wriggling flesh, blood vessels, bones... were all exposed, emitting a strong smell of blood.

This is actually a zombie without human skin!

This……

How did the other party find me?
Zheng Que's whole body stiffened for a moment, but at this moment, the zombie that was nearby suddenly imitated his movements and walked down from the bed.

"Disciple! You finally came out!"

“Hahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!!!”

"Disciple, I will eat you now!"

That familiar voice suddenly sounded again.

next moment……

Click!

The zombie who just got off the bed had half of his head bitten off by something in an instant!
The grayish-white brain, along with the turbid blood, immediately flowed down along the remaining skull, dripping onto the ground. The zombie felt no pain at all and continued to walk out.

Click... click... click...

Accompanied by crisp chewing sounds, various bite marks quickly appeared all over the zombie's body.

The zombie didn't react at all and walked faster and faster. When it was about to reach the door, half of it had disappeared. Many of its bones were broken, and it lost its balance and fell to the ground. It struggled with its remaining limbs to try to go out.

Squeak!

Finally, the zombie opened the door and staggered out.

The dull sound of flesh rubbing against each other could be heard on the stone pavement outside the door, and the rustling faded away. The footsteps that had been circling the bed also became farther and farther away.

The lingering feeling of coldness in the room seemed to be swept away in an instant.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly realized that the zombie just now saved his life!
That zombie might have been sent by the real master!

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to waste time and immediately got out of bed.

The ground was in a mess at this moment, with furniture and utensils scattered everywhere, but Zheng Que didn't bother to clean up. He straightened his coat a little and walked out the door quickly.

Outside the door, under the gradually brightening sky, the neighbors were silent. There was almost no trace of smoke from cooking fires in the distance. Only a few weak sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard from behind the heavy courtyard walls, coming from nowhere.

In an open space not far away, the children I saw yesterday evening were still gathered there, chatting excitedly about something.

Zheng Que carefully walked around the children and immediately quickened his pace towards the ruined temple.

A moment later, he returned to the dilapidated temple. At this moment, the shadow of the dead tree inside the wall did not fall on the threshold of the courtyard gate.

Zheng Que observed carefully and confirmed that there was nothing unusual at the gate or nearby before he walked in, passed through the deserted yard, and entered the temple.

This place was no different from when I left yesterday. An old man in a gray robe sat cross-legged on a cushion in front of the shrine, his eyes slightly closed and his expression indifferent.

The dark coffin was placed horizontally in the corner, emitting an icy and chilling aura.

Zheng Que stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully, "Disciple Zheng Que, I pay my respects to Master!"

Hearing this, Taoist Qu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Every mortal who enters the Tao will have a calamity."

"Last night's 'Calling Ghost' was your doom."

"It is also your calamity of entering the Dao."

"Just now, I used a corpse puppet to help you lure away that 'Shouting Ghost'."

"But that's only temporary."

"Everyone has to overcome their own destiny." Having said that, he raised his hand and gently pointed at Zheng Que.

The next moment, a beam of condensed purple light flashed by and instantly penetrated into Zheng Que's eyebrows.

Zheng Que suddenly felt a buzzing in his head and a sharp pain came over him. At the same time, a large number of unfamiliar words appeared out of thin air in his mind!

"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine."

"From now on, I can only stay here for forty-nine hours. During this time, how much you can learn depends on your own talent."

"This is the [Seed Life Secret], a quick success method."

"You can practice this technique now."

"If you want to survive, you must enter the Dao before dark tonight."

"'Calling Ghost' will come looking for you again tonight."

"Although we are master and disciple, the karma here is only enough for me to help you once, not a second time!"

Taoist Qu's indifferent voice reached Zheng Que's ears.

As he listened, Zheng Que quickly calmed down.

The zombie that suddenly appeared just now was indeed sent by the master to rescue him!

According to Master, the thing that wants to kill him is called "Calling Ghost" and it will come to find him tonight.

Only if he could enter the Dao before sunset would he have a chance of survival...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately bowed to Taoist Qu again and said solemnly, "Thank you, Master, for the Dharma!"

Taoist Qu nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Zheng Cheng immediately began to study the new technique that appeared in his mind.

The first step of [The Art of Life] is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby drawing the energy into the body, breaking through the sea of ​​​​qi, and storing a wisp of original spiritual energy in the sea of ​​​​qi, then one can become a cultivator in the Qi training stage.

According to the introduction of the exercises, the realms of cultivators in this world are divided into Qi training stage, foundation building stage, Dan formation stage, Yuanying stage...

The Qi training stage is divided into nine levels, nine small realms.

The realm after the foundation-building period is divided into three small realms: early, middle and late stages.

This [Seed of Life] can allow mortals to enter the Tao, and practice from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage.

While Zheng Que was checking the exercises, he asked several questions related to cultivation, and Taoist Qu patiently answered them one by one.

Soon, Zheng Que had basically figured out how to practice. He retreated to the open space nearby and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes. He silently recited the formula of the technique in his mind and began to concentrate on sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth mentioned in the technique...

Gradually, he felt that the temperature around him seemed to be dropping rapidly. The shrines, temples, courtyards... including his master, all seemed to fade away. He seemed to be in a void, with a gray air all around him. These airs were clear and lively, and seemed to have a great attraction to him.

However, the gray air was mixed with traces of chill. Those were cold air currents that were like plankton in the water, floating unpredictably and filling the sky and earth.

According to Master’s explanation just now, these cold air currents are a form of spiritual energy.

But reincarnation does not exist in this world, the souls of the dead are trapped in the mortal world, and the world is filled with heavy yin energy. Therefore, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also mixed with rich yin energy.

Spiritual energy can improve your cultivation strength, while Yin energy will affect your mind and lifespan.

Due to problems with the heaven and earth, the spiritual energy and the yin energy merged into one. The cultivators in this world can only absorb the spiritual energy and the yin energy together when practicing.

Therefore, the more advanced a cultivator's cultivation, the more Yin Qi accumulated in their body, and the more abnormal their mind and character tend to be...

While thinking, Zheng Que immediately used a mantra to intercept a thin stream of spiritual energy from the spiritual energy he was sensing and guided it into his body...
