Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Lu Zheng used all the methods he had at his disposal to stimulate the growth of the Cloud Stream Spirit Bamboo, and the effect was remarkable.

As dusk fell, the Cloud Creek Bamboo underwent another transformation, reaching a height of about fifteen meters, with silver lightning patterns on its surface.

After Lu Zheng stopped releasing lightning, he discovered that the bamboo had actually drawn a thundercloud to the sky, continuously releasing bolts of lightning which were absorbed into its body to continue tempering itself.

He took out the Purple Cloud Sword, activated its sword energy, made a small opening in the bamboo, and then used a tube to pour the liquid containing the electric arc into a jade bottle.

Although I haven't drunk it yet, judging from the energy feedback alone, the energy contained in this spiritual liquid is extremely abundant.

This small bottle alone is definitely worth more than a ninth-order crystal core!
Unconsciously, Lu Zheng became even more eager to see its effects.

He immediately took a sip.

In an instant, a surge of energy exploded within his body.

It definitely exploded.

The lightning energy inside was extremely turbulent, like water seeping into the soil, with arcs of electricity spreading all over his body.

The physical body is simultaneously subjected to the impact of spiritual power and tempered by lightning energy.

After the energy was completely absorbed by his body, Lu Zheng felt that his physical strength had increased significantly.

Most importantly, the martial arts golden core has also been tempered, becoming larger and more efficient at absorbing spiritual energy.

What a good thing!

This Silver Thunder Bamboo Spirit Liquid can not only temper the physical body, but also increase Golden Core cultivation and improve cultivation efficiency.

It was worth all the effort he put into training them.

Lu Zheng looked at Zheng Jingyi and Ruan Lingxiu and said:
"Can the two of you come here every other day for three days to specifically cultivate this bamboo?"

"If you're bored, I'll get you some TV series or something. Anyway, you have shadow clones, so you can let your clones watch them, which means you can watch them too."

"Or you could move your family to live here at the resort."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Lingxiu immediately spoke up:

"No need, I don't need anything. Being able to help my husband is my blessing."

"Besides, my husband has already used up so many crystal cores on me, so I have to show some effect."

“My daughter has other older sisters taking care of her, so I feel at ease. I can see her every three days, which is good. I can also bring her over occasionally to play together. The conditions there are better.”

Zheng Jingyi then said:
“My family is my sisters! There are many older sisters here, so I won’t be lonely.”

“I was bored over there anyway, so it would be nice to be able to help my husband with something.”

Her main ability is healing, so she's basically not needed to do anything there.

After all, there are other healing-type ability users, and she is a formidable figure that ordinary people cannot persuade.

She would occasionally take the initiative to help some poor people.

It's the same here now. If she wants to help people, she uses shadow clones to go out. Many people are waiting for her to save them.

The martial arts world has no insectoid invasions or zombie viruses, but it is plagued by constant wars, rampant plagues, and endless feuds, making it a post-apocalyptic world.

Without Lu Zheng's intervention, Wen Lingbo, the princess of a fallen kingdom, would probably have triggered a massive war, with chaos in the Central Plains, invasions from all sides by barbarians, and a great battle between various factions. In the end, there might not have been as many survivors as there were in the zombie apocalypse.

Lu Zheng was not surprised by their answers.

After all, he gave them so much that the two of them had almost nothing to lack.

Being able to do something also gives you a sense of belonging.

However, Lu Zheng also adheres to the principle of rewarding merit.

The Silver Thunder Bamboo Spirit Liquid was so effective thanks to the assistance of these two people, so he took out two substitute life-saving lamps and gave one to each of them.

"With your high rank, it's difficult to find a scapegoat. I'll personally help you cultivate two."

Both of them had reached the ninth rank, and the person who could die in their place would have to be at least at the eighth rank. It used to be really difficult, since an eighth-rank ability user required far too many crystal cores.

It's not worth wasting so many crystal cores to cultivate a single eighth-tier mutated beast.

But now that we have the True Qi Pill, all we need to do is cultivate a late-stage Innate Realm martial artist, who is an eighth-rank existence, and it will be effective to use them as a substitute for death.

Coincidentally, Lu Zheng was also planning to try it out and see if the True Qi Pill could cultivate mutated beasts.

Since the mutated beast had no cultivation techniques, Lu Zheng worried that consuming a large number of True Qi Pills would overwhelm it, causing its body to explode.

He released the seventh-tier mutated beasts he had previously trained, the Fiery Golden Eagle and the Golden Tiger King, and fed them large amounts of True Qi Pills.

As expected, since the mutated beasts had no cultivation techniques to guide their training, they could only rely on their bodies to absorb true energy. Although the true energy did gather, a considerable portion of the energy was wasted and their bodies were damaged.

Lu Zheng then took out a large handful of Rejuvenation Pills and fed them to them.

Thus, the True Qi Pill was destroyed, and the Rejuvenation Pill was cured. Ten minutes after consuming them, the two mutated beasts successfully mastered the eighth-order True Essence and became late-stage Innate Realm beasts.

Moreover, his supernatural power and true essence were fused together through constant destruction and reconstruction, allowing him to unleash eighth-order supernatural power!
These two big guys are definitely eighth-tier beasts.

With these two successful examples, the rest is easy.

Ruan Lingxiu and Zheng Jingyi each chose a mutated beast they liked, and then Lu Zheng helped them advance to the eighth rank, which went very smoothly.

Ruan Lingxiu chose the Windblade White Crane, while Zheng Jingyi chose the Steel Armor Iron-Eating Beast.

One is riding a white crane, and the other is riding a panda; they look quite like fairies.

Lu Zheng took out some more Silver Thunder Bamboo Spirit Liquid, drank it to improve his cultivation, and found that he only needed to keep drinking it for a few more days to break through and enter the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in martial arts.

This is just awesome.

He enjoys the feeling of directly improving his cultivation level.

Lu Zheng turned around and brought Kong Tingyan, who was waiting outside, back with him.

Seeing the drastically changed bamboo forest, and glancing at the dark clouds that occasionally unleashed bolts of lightning from the Silver Thunder Bamboo, Kong Tingyan immediately knelt down and said:
"Greetings, Immortal Master."

Lu Zheng chuckled and picked her up by the waist.

"I will teach you the magic of immortality."

With a swift movement, the two entered a motorhome.

[Ding! Successfully protected Kong Tingyan, obtained one Extraordinary Resource Card]

[Item: Heavenly Corpse Pearl]

[Type: Extraordinary Supplies Card]

[Effect: Allows you to obtain an unlimited number of Heavenly Corpse Pearls]

The Heavenly Corpse Pearl absorbs blood and evil energy, contains a blood and evil space, controls zombies, refines zombies, nourishes zombies with zombies, and eventually turns ten thousand zombies into a king.

What is going on?!

They won't let me walk the right path.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner just arrived, extracting souls and refining spirits; now the Heavenly Corpse Pearl has arrived, digging up graves and tombs.

It's all heretical and evil stuff!

I am the dignified savior, Mr. Lu, the immortal master Lu with his ethereal and otherworldly demeanor.

However, then again.

I'm going to slaughter three royal families. Using royal blood to create zombies should make them very powerful.

Given the sheer number of corpses in the zombie apocalypse and the endless carcasses in the insectoid apocalypse, this thing would probably be easy to cultivate.

Wow! Just thinking about it gets me excited, I can't wait! (End of Chapter)
