Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

The meat in the pot simmered for a full hour, filling the entire temple with a wonderful aroma!

Lin Bei squatted at the kitchen doorway, sniffling, his eyes drooling as he stared at the meat in the pot.

Shi Shaojian also dragged his injured body over. The wound on his back still hurt, but he couldn't care less about the pain when he smelled this.

"Master, is it done yet?" Lin Bei couldn't help but ask.

Shi Jian lifted the pot lid, and a plume of white steam shot into the sky. The aroma of meat mixed with the scent of herbs wafted over, so rich it was almost overwhelming.

The meat chunks in the pot were stewed until tender and glistening with oil, while the broth bubbled and boiled.

Shi Jian poked a piece with his chopsticks, and the meat trembled slightly and fell apart.

"Alright." Shi Jian took the pot down. "Get the bowls!"

Lin Bei jumped up, his leg throbbing with pain, but he didn't utter a sound and limped to get the bowl and chopsticks.

Shi Shaojian also went to help, and the two of them set out the bowls and chopsticks, looking at Shi Jian expectantly.

Shi Jian picked up a large spoon and ladled a big bowl for Lin Bei, which was full of meat with very little broth.

He ladled out a large bowl for Shi Shaojian, and then finally made himself a bowl!

"Eat."

Lin Bei picked up the bowl, not even having time to use chopsticks, and grabbed a piece of meat to stuff into his mouth.

The meat was stewed until it was so tender it melted in your mouth, and a rich meaty aroma exploded in your mouth, followed by a warm sensation rising from your stomach.

"Holy crap, this is delicious!" Lin Bei mumbled, then grabbed a second piece.

"I never expected you to have such excellent skills, Master!"

Shi Shaojian wasn't much better off; he buried his head in his food, his cheeks bulging like a hamster's.

The two devoured the bowl of meat in a few minutes, then looked longingly at Shi Jian.

"Master, another bowl!"

Shi Jian then ladled another bowl for each of them.

After finishing the bowl, Lin Bei felt something was wrong.

My whole body was burning up, the kind of heat that I couldn't suppress, like someone had set my body on fire.

The magical power in his dantian began to stir and circulate on its own, at an increasingly faster speed.

Shi Shaojian also sensed it, his face turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Master, this meat..." Before Lin Bei could finish speaking, a surge of heat rushed out of his stomach and coursed wildly along his meridians.

"Go back to your rooms, sit down, and circulate your cultivation techniques!" Shi Jian said in a deep voice. "This is the spiritual energy from the demon beast's flesh erupting within your bodies. If you don't refine it, it will burst your meridians."

Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian exchanged a glance, then threw down their bowls and ran to their room.

Lin Bei sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, his mind focused on his dantian.

His internal condition was worse than he had imagined.

The heat surged and raged through his meridians, causing them to ache painfully and even crack in some places.

"Suppress them!"

Lin Bei gritted his teeth, activated the Supreme Induction Chapter, and guided the magical power in his dantian to block the hot current.

The magical power surrounded them from all directions, trapping the heat flow in the main meridians near the dantian.

But this energy was too immense, causing Lin Bei to shudder and a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, you think I can't handle you now!"

Lin Bei became furious and mobilized all his magical power to form layer upon layer of barriers, completely blocking the heat flow.

Then he began to circulate the techniques of the Supreme Response Manual, refining the heat flow bit by bit.

The Taishang Ganying Pian is the foundational practice of the Maoshan School. Although the name sounds ordinary, it is actually a mental cultivation method that has been refined over hundreds of years by generations of Maoshan School masters. It is the most balanced and peaceful, and has an extremely high efficiency in refining spiritual energy.

Lin Bei guided his magical power to envelop the heat flow, then slowly compressed, purified, and refined it.

As a wisp of heat was refined into pure magical power, it merged into the dantian.

Originally there were only 103 strands of magic power, but now there is one more strand.

Lin Bei had no time to be happy and continued refining.

There was too much heat surging from his stomach, and he could only desperately circulate his internal energy, gradually increasing the magical power in his dantian.

One hundred and five strands.

One hundred and eight strands.

One hundred and twelve strands...

The speed at which his magical power increased was astonishing; Lin Bei had never experienced anything like it before.

Normally, I can only increase my magical power by a dozen strands after a whole night of cultivation, but now I've increased it by nearly twenty strands in just half an hour.

But the price was not small; his meridians were stretched and swollen, and some places had cracked open, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

The advantages of the Pure Yang Dao Body became apparent at this time.

Lin Bei's meridians are almost twice as wide as those of ordinary cultivators, and they are also much more resilient.

If it were someone else, with so much spiritual energy surging into their body, their meridians would have exploded long ago.

Lin Bei gritted his teeth and continued refining.

An hour later, the magical power in his dantian reached 150 strands.

Two hours later, the number of strands exceeded two hundred.

At this point, the hot sensation surging in my stomach finally began to subside.

Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down the refining process, and began to repair the damaged meridians.

The techniques of the Taishang Ganying Pian can not only refine spiritual energy, but also nourish the meridians.

The magical power flowed slowly through the meridians, leaving a faint golden light wherever it passed, repairing the tiny cracks.

Another hour passed, and the meridians were almost fully repaired.

Lin Bei opened his eyes; it was already broad daylight.

He looked down at himself; most of his wounds had scabbed over and fallen off, revealing new skin.

The claw marks on his chest and face, which were originally deep enough to expose the bone, have now healed, leaving only faint scars.

"This meat is incredibly potent! Could it be due to the Chinese herbs Master added?"

Lin Bei stretched his body and felt like he had inexhaustible energy.

He stood up and punched the wall. A dull thud was heard, and a shallow dent remained in the wall.

Then I carefully sensed my physical body again...

"Hahaha, I've broken through to the Lesser Completion stage of the Copper Skin realm!"

Lin Bei looked at his fist, then at the dent in the wall, and laughed excitedly.

The first layer of copper skin of the Maoshan Vajra Body, which was just the beginning before, has been pushed to the minor level in one night.

His physical strength is now more than twice as strong as it was yesterday.

Lin Bei pushed open the door and went out.

In the courtyard, Shi Shaojian also came out of the room.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Shi Shaojian's complexion had become much rosier, and the injury on his back seemed to have healed considerably; he could walk without limping.

"Senior brother, how much has your magic power increased?" Lin Bei asked.

Shi Shaojian smiled smugly: "It's grown by more than eighty strands, now it's almost two hundred strands. How about you?"

"More than two hundred strands," Lin Bei said truthfully.

Shi Shaojian's smile froze on his face, then turned into a look of utter despair.

"Are you even human? I gained over eighty strands, and you gained over a hundred?"

Lin Bei shrugged. "Have you forgotten? I have a pure Yang body, so my ability to refine spiritual energy is much stronger than yours!"

"You wasted most of the spiritual energy in that meat!" After saying that, he even showed a shameful expression of waste.

Shi Shaojian rolled his eyes and immediately didn't want to talk to him anymore, mainly because it was too discouraging.
