Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Around Qingshi County, word is circulating that the three master and disciples on Qingzhu Mountain, especially Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian, have been constantly exorcising demons and monsters, accumulating considerable prestige and becoming celebrities within a hundred miles.

"Hey, have you heard? Master Shi of Qingzhu Mountain has two disciples, one named Lin Bei and the other named Shi Shaojian. They are incredibly skilled."

"That's right. Last time I saw Master Lin stab a zombie right through with his sword."

"Master Shi is no less impressive. With the Bagua mirror in his hand, a beam of golden light shot out, and the monster turned to ashes instantly."

"Master Shi is truly skilled at teaching; both of his disciples are so accomplished."

"Yes, with them around, we're safe!"

Every time Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian went down the mountain, people would greet them, and some would even give them eggs and vegetables, which they couldn't refuse.

Lin Bei would always accept it with a smile and then show it to Shi Jian when he got back.

"Master, look, these were all gifts from the people."

Shi Jian glanced at it and hummed in agreement: "Not bad, you haven't disgraced Qingzhu Mountain."

"But remember, as members of Maoshan, you must be mindful of what you should and should not take, lest you damage your own virtue!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei and his companion were startled and secretly made a mental note of it.

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Before he knew it, Lin Bei had turned eighteen. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was certainly good-looking, with a wheat-colored complexion that exuded masculinity.

During that year, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. He not only mastered many talisman techniques, but his own cultivation also kept pace. In particular, under Shi Jian's tutelage, his cultivation level soared.

This is the benefit of following a big shot; Lin Bei secretly rejoiced whenever he thought of this.

The magical power in his dantian has increased from more than 500 strands in the middle stage of the Taoist realm to more than 800 strands now. Unbeknownst to him, he has already broken through to the late stage of the Taoist realm, and is less than 200 strands away from the perfect Taoist realm.

Maoshan Vajra Body Copper Skin Realm, from the initial stage to the final stage, he has taken every step solidly, which makes his combat power far exceed that of other cultivators of the same level.

If we're talking about Shi Shaojian alone, Lin Bei could easily crush him!

That morning, Lin Bei sat cross-legged on the large stone mill in the middle of the courtyard to cultivate.

That large stone mill was brought up from the foot of the mountain by Shi Jian many years ago. It was flat and smooth, and it was just the right size to sit on.

Lin Bei closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees with his palms facing up, and his breathing gradually became steady.

His skin had a faint bronze sheen, which covered the surface of his skin evenly from head to toe without any gaps.

Shi Shaojian came out of the room and was stunned when he saw Lin Bei's appearance!

He rubbed his eyes and took another careful look.

The bronze luster on Lin Bei's body was much stronger than usual; previously, it was just a faint halo.

"Master! Master!" Shi Shaojian turned and ran, rushing into the main room.

Shi Jian was drinking tea when Shi Shaojian's shout made his hand tremble, and the tea spilled out.

"What are you yelling about?" Shi Jian glared at him. "Are the zombies at our door?"

Shi Shaojian paused, his face flushed with embarrassment, then realized what was happening. "Master, please come out and take a look! Lin Bei... he's not feeling well!"

Shi Jian frowned slightly, quickly put down his teacup, and followed Shi Shaojian out of the main room.

He glanced at Lin Bei sitting on the large stone mill, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

The bronze luster on Lin Bei's body was indeed much stronger than usual, and it was constantly deepening. The luster changed from light bronze to dark bronze, and finally to dark bronze.

"Copper skin is perfect!" Shi Jian said softly, "This kid..."

A rare smile appeared on Shi Jian's face!

Shi Shaojian didn't hear him clearly: "Master, what did you say?"

"The copper skin is perfected!" Shi Jian repeated. "Lin Bei's first level of Maoshan Vajra Body has been perfected."

Shi Shaojian's eyes widened: "Perfect? ​​So fast?"

"No need to rush. He has been cultivating for more than a year, eating countless amounts of demon beast meat, and even consuming half a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. Reaching the Copper Skin Perfection stage is a natural progression."

"Back then, when I was cultivating the Vajra Body, I lacked cultivation resources and it took me a full three years to reach the perfect state!"

Shi Jian stood with his hands behind his back under the eaves, looking at Lin Bei with admiration in his eyes.

Perhaps once this kid breaks through to the Mage realm, I'll take him back to Maoshan to see his master! Shi Jian thought to himself.

Shi Shaojian looked at Lin Bei with envy in his eyes, but he also knew very well that he could not walk that path, and his master did not have enough resources to train two people to cultivate the Vajra Body.

Shi Shaojian smiled inwardly: Oh well, as my junior brother would say, being a ranged mage is not bad either. No need for melee combat, just need to output stable damage!

The dark bronze luster on Lin Bei's body grew stronger and stronger, making him look like a bronze statue, sitting motionless on the large stone mill.

Suddenly, the luster flashed, then receded like the tide, shrinking into Lin Bei's skin.

Lin Bei was shocked. His skin quickly returned to its normal color, but it was firmer and more lustrous than before.

Every inch of his skin looked as if it had been hammered, concealing an explosive sense of power.

The moment the copper skin was perfected, the spiritual energy within Lin Bei's body seemed to be stimulated and began to circulate wildly.

The spiritual energy stored throughout his body was mobilized at this moment.

Lin Bei was taken aback and quickly composed himself, guiding the spiritual energy to refine it.

One strand, two strands, three strands!

The magical power in his dantian increased wildly, quickly reaching nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of magical power!

Lin Bei took a deep breath and began his attempt to reach the peak of the Taoist realm.

He compressed the magical power in his dantian towards the center, kneading it together like dough.

The speed at which his magical power circulated increased, and the pressure in his dantian grew greater and greater.

boom!

With a tremor in his dantian, as the last wisp of magical power condensed and emerged, the speed of the magical power circulation suddenly increased by more than double. He exuded a powerful aura, and had clearly broken through to the Daoist realm!

Shi Shaojian's eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't he supposed to be breaking through to the Vajra Body? How come he's even broken through in terms of magical power cultivation?

The space in his dantian expanded once more, and a thousand strands of magical power spread out, becoming more condensed, each strand nearly twice as thick as before.

Lin Bei then began to circulate his cultivation technique, compressing the magical power within his dantian. The thousand strands of magical power were repeatedly compressed, eventually transforming into ten strands of magical power.

One strand of magical power equals one hundred strands of magical power, and ten strands of magical power equal one thousand strands.

After the magical power was compressed, Daoist Lin Bei's aura of cultivation was completely stabilized!
