Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

From the direction of Yuanfu Wanning Palace, True Man Zixu arrived through the air and landed in front of the Ancestral Hall.

He glanced at Lin Bei, who was meditating inside the hall, his eyes full of approval: "This kid, he's only 23 years old this year..."

"To reach the realm of a True Person after only eight years of cultivation is the first time in the past hundred years of Maoshan."

At Chongxi Wanshou Palace, the immortal Xuanji also arrived, stepping through the air.

He looked at Lin Bei's figure with a complicated expression.

Although he didn't get along with the lineage of Master Qingwei, he couldn't say anything that would spoil the mood at this moment.

After all, Lin Bei's breakthrough to the True Person realm is a good thing for Maoshan.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Shi Jian, you've made a good choice in taking on this disciple."

Master Xuanji's tone was a bit gentler than usual, "His breakthrough before the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has given Maoshan a boost in confidence."

Shi Jian glanced at him with some surprise, not expecting that Master Xuanji would actually say such a thing.

Ye Qing, standing behind Master Xuanji, stared in shock at the young man who was only a few years older than him.

"Is this Senior Brother Lin Bei?"

"His strength seems... incredible!"

"Qing'er, let's go!" After saying that, Master Xuanji turned and left, and Ye Qing quickly followed.

Master Zixu glanced at his retreating figure and gently shook his head.

As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, join them. Why be so stubborn?

Several hours later, Lin Bei slowly opened his eyes.

A purple light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared.

Looking inward at the dantian, the purple golden elixir was quietly floating in the center, its body, having opened one aperture, radiating a warm glow.

Strands of magical power flowed out from the golden core, circulating endlessly through the meridians, becoming several times more potent than before.

"Is this the realm of a true immortal? It is indeed terrifying..."

Lin Bei sensed the magical power within his body, and it was far stronger than what he had experienced at the mage level.

He walked out of the Ancestral Hall, where Qingwei Zhenren, Shijian, and Zixu Zhenren were all standing outside.

Lin Bei quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple Lin Bei greets Grandmaster, Master, and Palace Master."

He then bowed to Qingwei and the other person again, saying, "Disciple has successfully broken through. Thank you, Master and Grandmaster, for protecting me."

Master Qingwei waved his hand: "It's good that you've broken through, no need for such formalities."

Shi Jian walked up to him and looked him up and down: "How many apertures of your Golden Core have you opened?"

"One aperture."

Shi Jian nodded: "The first aperture of the Golden Core is only the starting point of the True Person realm. There are three apertures, six apertures, and nine apertures afterward, and each aperture requires arduous cultivation."

"Don't get carried away by a temporary breakthrough."

"The True Person realm has the ability to fly by controlling objects, which is an advantage over the Mage realm. Once your Golden Core is completely stable, I will teach you how to use it."

"Yes, Master."

Master Zixu laughed and said, "Make good preparations, the Luotian Grand Ceremony will be held in a few days."

"The rewards for this grand ceremony are more generous than ever before."

Lin Bei was taken aback. Before he could ask anything, he saw everyone drift away.

"Are all powerful Celestial Masters like this?"

"You only say half of what you mean, and your penis is only half as short!" Lin Bei said viciously.

"Um...?"

Suddenly a voice came from the void, making Lin Bei see stars.

After regaining his senses, he quickly walked along the mountain path toward Shi Shaojian's courtyard, fearing that he would be beaten up.

"Hmph!" In a palace on the back mountain, Master Qingwei shook his head slightly and then entered into cultivation.

As Lin Bei walked along the mountain path, he was thinking of Shi Shaojian. In addition, he had not seen his senior brother for a long time because he had been in seclusion for half a year to break through.

The gate to Shi Shaojian's residence was ajar, and the cries of Bai Chen and Bai Ling could be heard from inside.

Lin Bei pushed open the door and walked in, just in time to see Bai Ling chasing Bai Chen all over the yard. The little white fox was running desperately in front, while Bai Ling was chasing after it at a leisurely pace.

"Bai Chen, did you provoke Bai Ling again?" Lin Bei leaned against the door frame and asked with a smile.

The courtyard immediately fell silent.

Bai Ling suddenly turned her head, and the moment she saw Lin Bei, the whole fox froze for a moment, then let out a howl and pounced on him.

Lin Bei bent down and caught her. Bai Ling rubbed against him and wagged her tail like a rattle.

"Master! You're finally out! I haven't seen you in so long!"

Lin Bei ruffled her hair: "It's only been half a year, but you've grown quite a bit, little one."

Indeed, Bai Ling is now a size larger than before, with long limbs and glossy white fur. Standing on the ground, she is almost the size of an adult mixed-breed dog.

Those eyes were more lively than before, radiating a clever and intelligent light.

Shi Shaojian came out of the house and was stunned the moment he saw Lin Bei.

Then he rushed forward and hugged Lin Bei tightly: "Junior brother! You've finally come out!"

"I've missed you so much!"

Lin Bei was so tightly held in his arms that he almost couldn't breathe: "Senior brother, be gentle... I just broke through, and my body is still weak."

"What a load of rubbish!"

Shi Shaojian released him, took two steps back, and looked him up and down. "True Person Realm! My goodness, how old are you and you're already at the True Person Realm?"

"Twenty-three." Lin Bei proudly raised his head.

"A real person who's 23 years old!"

Shi Shaojian clicked his tongue. "Do you know what people outside are saying about you? They don't call you Little Thunder King anymore, they call you Master Lin now!"

Lin Bei smiled and said, "Don't talk about me, I see your cultivation has improved quite a bit too!"

Shi Shao puffed out his chest: "Of course, I'm an early-stage mage. Although I can't compare to you, I've really worked hard to get there in the past six months."

"Moreover, my foundation is extremely solid. Grandmaster Qingwei said that I will be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Mage realm in at most another six months."

"Not bad, senior brother."

Lin Bei patted him on the shoulder, "Keep it up."

Bai Chen peeked out from the corner, looked at Lin Bei, and cautiously ran over to rub against Lin Bei's ankle.

Lin Bei bent down, picked him up, and looked at him. Bai Chen was still the same thin and small man, and his size had hardly changed.

"Why are you all cunning and all short?"

Lin Bei flicked Bai Chen's nose. "Bai Ling is a whole size older than you."

Bai Chen let out a wronged howl and turned to Shi Shaojian to complain.

Shi Shaojian came over and took Bai Chen from him: "He just doesn't eat much. He's busy fighting with Bai Ling all day long, so he doesn't have the appetite to eat anything."

"That's because you spoiled him."

In fact, Lin Bei knew very well that Bai Ling was only getting the benefit of the pills; otherwise, she wouldn't be much taller than Bai Chen.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei took out a pill from his spatial stone and fed it to Bai Chen.

The little guy was eating a pill for the first time, and the moment he swallowed it, a huge amount of spiritual power erupted within his body.

Seeing this, Bai Ling quickly ran over as well.

"Master, I want some too!"

"Haha, you little glutton!" Lin Nei chuckled, then fed it a piece as well.

Shi Shaojian's eyes widened in surprise. "Holy crap, junior brother, where did you get these pills?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Spirit Gathering Pill!"
