A global zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you say the Taoist sequence is useless?

"but."

Li Jingsong suddenly changed the subject, "Just tell Zhou Yunhai about this. Don't tell anyone about the reward the academy gives you."

"Um?"

Xu Yi was taken aback. "Why is that?"

"Because it's dangerous."

Li Jingsong looked at Xu Yi:

"Why do you think I said I would be your protector? Where does your danger come from? Is it merely from zombies?"

Xu Yi asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

"Because of those human forces that have ties with zombies, the area outside the Zombie Domain may not be safer than the area inside," Li Jingsong said calmly.

"Are humans and zombies involved?"

Xu Yi was even more puzzled. "What are they after?"

"Lifespan".

Li Jingsong sneered, "Even a ninth-tier Sequencer can only live for a maximum of two hundred years. But do you know how many years a zombie, which is equivalent to a ninth-tier Sequencer, can live?"

Xu Yi shook his head.

"millennium!"

Li Jingsong said, "As for the Undying Bones, they are even more so, their bones are incorruptible. Even if killed, they can be reborn with just one bone, making them almost immortal!"

"This..." Xu Yi was somewhat shocked.

Can someone be resurrected after being killed?

No wonder it's called "Unmelting Bones," now I know what it means!

"If the bones of an immortal being were implanted into a human, it would extend their lifespan by several hundred years! Of course, this is under the condition that the immortal being chooses to implant them. If the bone is forcibly implanted, it would be tantamount to suicide, as the malevolent energy could kill the person."

Xu Yi's eyes widened in shock:

"Can someone actively perform bone grafting even though their bone hasn't rotted?"

"What do you think? The wisdom of the Undying Bone is even higher than that of humans!"

Li Jingsong said calmly, "Some Undying Bones even cultivate their own forces. Isn't the Longevity Society, which is causing the most trouble right now, cultivated by an Undying Bones? The only problem is that we haven't been able to find out which Undying Bones it is."

Xu Yi's eyes were truly opened.

These things cannot be found online at all.

"But what's the point of these unmelting bones?"

Xu Yi still didn't quite understand.

"Who knows? Perhaps it's to weaken human power and allow the zombie domain to spread globally? We can't fathom the thoughts of these aliens."

Li Jingsong shook his head.

"In short, you need to be wary of these forces. If you display extraordinary talent, they might not even pay attention to you."

But if you were to create something that could counteract zombies, that would cause a huge stir! After all, there are countless talented people, but you're the only one who discovered that glutinous rice counters zombies!

Xu Yi nodded seriously. "Teacher, I understand. So far, I've only told you about this; no one else knows."

"Very good! You're very cautious!"

Li Jingsong nodded in satisfaction.

This is also what Xu Yi likes most.

People who wander aimlessly never get anything good, and dogs who wander aimlessly always get hit with bricks.

Only by proceeding steadily can one have the opportunity to reach the top.

He then asked:

"You've made such a significant discovery, is there any reward you'd like? I can grant it on behalf of the academy right now."

"I just want some basic medicine."

Xu Yi scratched his head. "The basic spiritual energy potions provided by the school aren't enough for me, which is affecting my cultivation speed."

"You're an S-rank student, and the school provides you with a tube of the highest quality basic medicine every month. How come that's not enough for you?"

Li Jingsong was somewhat puzzled, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:

"Could it be that you've awakened an extremely high-quality psionic forging technique? I forgot to ask before, how many spiritual apertures have you connected to?"

"Three."

"Three hundred...what?!"

Li Jingsong shuddered violently and said in disbelief:

"You've opened all 362 spiritual apertures? Top-tier spiritual energy training method???"

"Yes."

"I……"

Li Jingsong's eyes widened in shock. He took a deep breath and shook his head after a long while.

"You've awakened a top-tier psionic training method, so what need do you have for basic resources? Just tell the academy how many resources you need, and the school will provide them!"

Xu Yi was taken aback: "You can do that?"

"If we don't even cultivate top geniuses like you, then who is the academy supposed to cultivate?"

"By the way, don't tell anyone else about the psionic training method either."

Li Jingsong thought for a moment and then said, "Zhou Min knows about this, right? I'll remind her later."

"Okay, teacher."

As they were talking, Li Jingsong took out his communicator and sent a message.

Then he said, "Let's wait here for a while. Zhou Yunhai will be here soon."

"Principal Zhou is coming in person?"

"Of course, even if his wife were about to give birth, this wouldn't be as important!"

"..."

Less than ten minutes later, Xu Yi felt the surrounding air suddenly become hot.

Immediately, a sea of ​​orange-red flames erupted not far from them.

After the fire was extinguished, Zhou Yunhai stepped out from it.

Xu Yi slightly widened his eyes.

Principal Zhou is actually a fire-elemental character?

"Li Jingsong, is what you said in the communication true? Is there something that can subdue zombies? And can also remove the evil energy from wounds?"

As soon as Zhou Yunhai appeared, he immediately asked questions in a hurry.

Next, Li Jingsong naturally demonstrated it to Zhou Yunhai again.

As expected, Xu Yi had another wound on his hand.

"Incredible, incredible!"

Zhou Yunhai was utterly shocked, and his vision extended even further:

"In this way, even if there's a riot in the Zombie Domain and ordinary people are affected, they'll have a chance to save their lives! Most importantly, if they're injured by corpse demons and purple zombies, even if the local patrol team doesn't provide timely assistance, they can use glutinous rice to remove the evil energy themselves, without worrying about the zombies turning into zombies!"

He paced back and forth, saying, "This news must be reported nationwide! It's a tremendous achievement, a truly tremendous achievement!"

Zhou Yunhai suddenly looked at Li Jingsong:

"Old Li, how did you find out about this? With such a great contribution, your promotion to Rank 9 is just around the corner!"

"It wasn't me."

Li Jingsong shook his head and pointed to one side:

"It was Xu Yi who discovered it."

"What?"

Zhou Yunhai was even more shocked.

He certainly knew Xu Yi; Xu Yi was ranked first among the freshmen and personally presided over the entrance trial.

But this new student actually made such a significant discovery!

"It was just a coincidence," Xu Yi replied honestly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhou Yunhai laughed heartily and said "good" three times in a row.

"Xu Yi, perhaps your appearance is destiny!"

He patted Xu Yi's shoulder heavily:

"You were born to exterminate zombies!"

Xu Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Just lucky, just lucky!"

However, Zhou Yunhai's expression quickly turned solemn, and he said:

"Xu Yi, don't tell anyone about this anymore! But I will definitely give you the reward you deserve. When you reach the eighth rank, then make this public, and I will apply for another set of resources to help you advance to the ninth rank!"

"The teacher has already told me."

Xu Yi nodded, then said:

"Principal Zhou, could we give the credit for this directly to Teacher Li? I'm still far from being promoted to the ninth rank, so it would be better to let Teacher Li be promoted first."

Xu Yi had carefully considered giving credit for the discovery of glutinous rice to Li Jingsong.

I'm only at level 2 now, and I definitely won't be able to reach level 8 anytime soon.

Who knows, Zhou Yunhai might not be in office by then?

Who gets the credit?

It would be better to just give it to Li Jingsong now.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, he had already come to understand Li Jingsong's character.

As for glutinous rice suppressing zombies, anyone else could easily have done the same, taking credit for it and gaining the resources to advance to the ninth rank.

But Li Jingsong didn't even think about it and immediately notified Zhou Yunhai.

Furthermore, given the dangers outside, if Li Jingsong can advance to the ninth rank more quickly, his backer will be more secure.

"No!"

Before Zhou Yunhai could even speak, Li Jingsong immediately objected.

"What's the point of giving me all this credit? Keep it for yourself! I haven't even helped you with your teaching yet, and you're already giving me such a huge benefit? Are you kidding me!"

Xu Yi still insisted:

"Teacher, this is also an investment in you. Your advancement to the ninth level will be of great help to me in the future!"

"That won't work either. I have my own way of advancing to the ninth rank..."

Li Jingsong still wanted to refuse.

But Zhou Yunhai suddenly said:

"Old Li, I think Xu Yi's idea is very good. But..."

He abruptly changed the subject, "Not good enough!"

He looked at Xu Yi and Li Jingsong and said seriously:

"Old Li will take the credit for this first, and get one set of resources for advancing to the ninth rank. When Xu Yi reaches the eighth rank later, I'll apply for another set for you! Xu Yi's discovery alone is worth two sets of ninth-rank resources!"
