Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

"Ancestor, what do we do now?" Several weasels surrounded us, their faces filled with sorrow.

For the sake of a younger sibling, so many of their own kind died, and these weasels harbored a sliver of resentment.

"What should we do?" Huang Sanniang looked around, then gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go find some help!"

"For hundreds of years, no one has dared to treat our Huang family like this. I, the patriarch, cannot swallow this insult!"

Several old weasels gathered around: "Old Master, who are you looking for?"

"Fox, Weasel, White Fox, Willow, and Gray Fox—the five great immortal families are of one mind. I'll go find them; I refuse to believe I can't defeat Shi Jian!"

Huang San Niang, dragging her wounded body, disappeared into the mountains with her children and grandchildren.

Over the next few days, Huang San Niang visited the temples of the five great immortals.

It went to the fox's house first.

The Fox Clan's training ground is located on Qingqiu Mountain, a large mountain that is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

Huang San Niang waited outside the mountain gate for three days before she finally met the head of the Hu family, Hu San Taiye.

Hu San Taiye's true form is a six-tailed white fox with over a thousand years of cultivation, making him the most powerful among the five great immortals.

After listening to Huang San Niang's complaints, it remained silent for a long time.

"Huang San Niang, it's not that I don't want to help you." Old Master Hu stroked his beard and said slowly, "The Maoshan Sect is not to be trifled with, and Shi Jian is the eldest disciple of the Maoshan Sect. The title of Thunder and Lightning Dharma King is not for nothing."

"My Fox family and the Maoshan Sect have always kept to themselves. I don't want to make enemies with the Maoshan Sect because of your Huang family's affairs."

Huang San Niang cried out anxiously, "Grandpa Hu, the five immortals are all of one mind! You can't just stand by and watch us die!"

Grandpa Hu shook his head: "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's that it's unnecessary. Your great-grandson used the trick of seeking official titles to harm people first, and he was beaten to death. That's his own fault."

"If it were me, I wouldn't let it go so easily either."

"Your Huang family should have changed this habit a long time ago. When you encounter a difficult opponent, you end up dying!"

Huang San Niang was so angry that she trembled all over, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Hu San Taiye.

It had no choice but to turn around and leave, seeking help from the Bai family!

The head of the Bai family is a hedgehog who has cultivated for eight hundred years, and is known as Old Madam Bai!

After hearing what Huang San Niang said, Old Lady Bai also shook her head.

"Huang San Niang, we've known each other for many years, so I should help you," Old Madam Bai sighed. "But the Maoshan Sect's duty is to slay demons and monsters. Your great-grandson went to ask for an official title and ran right into their trap. Who can you blame?"

"If you want to seek revenge on Shi Jian, that's your business. My Bai family won't get involved."

"Our Bai family can't afford to offend the Maoshan Sect! I advise you to put aside your hatred and focus on your cultivation!"

Huang San Niang said angrily, "Even my own grandson was beaten to death, and I can't even avenge him. What's the point of cultivating if I can't even do it?"

Watching Huang San Niang's departing figure, Old Madam Bai knew that Huang San Niang had become possessed and was determined to fight Maoshan Shi Jian to the death.

After that, Huang San Niang went to the Liu family again!

The head of the Liu family is Chang Tianlong, a green snake who has cultivated for seven hundred years.

Chang Tianlong was much more direct than Hu San Taiye and Bai Laotaitai.

"No way!" Chang Tianlong refused outright. "I'm trying to avoid that old bastard Shi Jian like the plague, and you want me to go and die?"

"You..." Huang San Niang pointed at Chang Qinglong, glaring at him angrily.

"Hahaha, outsiders often say that the five great immortal families—Fox, Weasel, White, Willow, and Grey—are of one breath and one branch. Yet you all fear the Maoshan Sect and stand by and watch our Huang family suffer?"

Huang Sanniang was filled with sorrow and anger, and laughed in anger. She really couldn't understand why the Maoshan Sect could make them so afraid. Did they think that the five great immortals were made of clay?

"Enough!" Chang Qinglong shouted angrily, "You know perfectly well who started this whole thing!"

"If it weren't for your reckless and foolish junior, how could things have gotten to this point?"

"This is all your own fault!" With that, Chang Qinglong vanished from the spot!

Huang San Niang was so angry she almost vomited blood.

It then went to find the Gray family.

The head of the Hui family is Master Hui Jiu, a gray rat who has cultivated for eight hundred years.

Unlike the others, Grey Ninth Master was greedy by nature. After hearing Huang San Niang's words, its eyes darted around.

"You mean, Shi Jian collected the carcasses of those weasels?"

Huang San Niang nodded: "We took it all, not even the scraps of meat."

Gray Ninth Master stroked the few whiskers on his chin, a greedy glint in his eyes.

"Those corpses are all valuable; they'd be perfect for making medicine."

"And those demon cores with a hundred years of cultivation, tsk tsk."

A flash of anger crossed Huang Sanniang's eyes. How dare they say they would use her descendant to refine pills to her face? But for revenge, Huang Sanniang couldn't care less about anything else and quickly said, "Ninth Master, if you help me get revenge, I'll give you half of the treasures Shi Jian has collected!"

Grey Ninth Master squinted and thought for a moment. It had no relationship with Shi Jian and no grudges between them.

But those demon cores and corpses did indeed tempt it.

Shi Jian has been in the cultivation world for decades, so he must have a lot of good stuff. If he can take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, he'll be rich.

"Alright!" Gray Ninth Master slapped his thigh. "I'll help with this!"

Huang San Niang was overjoyed: "Ninth Master, you are truly a benefactor to the Huang family!"

Master Hui waved his hand: "Don't be too happy yet. That old bastard Shi Jian is not easy to deal with. I need to go back and make preparations and mobilize manpower."

"We'll meet at Qingzhu Mountain in ten days."

Huang San Niang nodded repeatedly and left the Hui family's Taoist temple with her children and grandchildren.

As Master Hui watched Huang San Niang's departing figure, his eyes darted around, and a sinister smile crept across his lips!

After returning to the temple, Huang San Niang began to recuperate. To be honest, of the five families, the one she distrusted the least was the Hui family, after all, their reputation was well-known!

On Qingzhu Mountain, Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian, after five days of recuperation, were able to get out of bed and walk around.

The three bloodstains on Lin Bei's face had scabbed over, the dark red scabs stretching across his entire face, looking quite intimidating.

"Junior brother, with a face like yours, it's a waste that you're not a bandit!"

"roll!"

Shi Shaojian's back wound has scabbed over, but he still cannot engage in strenuous exercise.

The two of them have been frantically drawing talismans in the house these past few days, especially talismans for exorcising evil spirits, talismans for breaking evil influences, and talismans for suppressing demons!

The most numerous were the exorcism talismans, with each person drawing dozens. The talismans for breaking evil spirits and suppressing demons were newly learned, but since the two had a certain foundation in talisman drawing, they were able to draw them skillfully after discarding a few.

However, their intense practice of drawing talismans places a heavy burden on their mental and magical strength, often causing them to feel dizzy and lightheaded!

Shi Jian has been busy these past few days. He took out the corpses of the weasels from the Tai Chi gourd, skinned them, took their flesh, and extracted their demon cores.

There were several hundred weasels, seventeen of which possessed demon cores.

The most valuable ones were those with four or five hundred years of cultivation; their demon cores were the size of eggs and emitted a faint glow.

Even their fur can be used for crafting weapons, making them a decent material for such crafting.

Shi Jian carefully stored away the demon cores and cured the weasel meat, saving it for later use.

The remaining weasel fur, bones, and claws are also valuable items that can be sold for money.

Lin Bei squatted at the kitchen doorway, watching Shi Jian process the weasel meat, and swallowed hard.

"Master, how should we eat this meat?"

Shi Jian didn't even look up: "Stewed or stir-fried, it's fine either way."

"Can we eat it now?"

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you're already thinking about food!" Shi Jian glared at him. "Wait another half an hour!"

After saying that, he put a few more medicinal herbs into the pot, and before long, the temple was filled with a wonderful aroma!
