Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

"This is..." Master Qingwei withdrew his finger, his eyes filled with shock. He had lived for over a hundred years and had only seen such a record in a few extremely ancient manuscripts.

Seeing that his expression was off, Shi Jian couldn't help but ask, "Master, how is it?"

Master Qingwei calmed himself down and solemnly said, "The purple fake core has a dantian space that is five times larger than that of an ordinary mage, and there are also innate runes flowing on the surface of the fake core."

"This...this is a fake Pure Yang Elixir."

"A fake Pure Yang pill?" Shi Jian was also hearing this for the first time, and his brows furrowed.

Master Qingwei returned to his meditation cushion and sat down. He glanced at Lin Bei with a complicated expression and slowly explained, "The Pure Yang Dao Body is one in ten thousand, and among those who possess it, a very small number can condense a Pure Yang Pseudo-Core when breaking through to the Mage level."

"The most distinctive feature of a Pure Yang False Core is that it allows the cultivator's dantian space to far exceed that of others of the same level, and the quality of their magical power to far surpass that of ordinary people, enabling them to fight against opponents of higher levels!"

"Lin Bei's dantian is now five times the size of an ordinary mage's, and the quality of his magic power is several levels higher than that of an ordinary mage."

"In other words, although he is only a mid-stage mage now, in terms of the total amount and quality of his magic power, he has already approached or even surpassed that of a typical mage at the peak."

"If he were to encounter some early-stage True Persons with unstable foundations, Lin Bei might not be without the strength to fight them."

Lin Bei didn't hear anything else, he only heard the voice behind him: "Grandmaster, do you mean... I'm very good at fighting?"

Master Qingwei was both amused and exasperated by his bluntness: "You may be good at fighting, but have you ever considered that your dantian space is five times that of others, which means that the spiritual energy you need to break through each realm is also five times that of others?"

Lin Bei was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

"It took you four months to break through to the level of a mage, and that was in a secret realm where the spiritual energy was dozens of times denser. In the outside world, it might take one or two years to complete the breakthrough."

"As you progress to the levels of True Person, Human Master, and Earth Master, the spiritual energy required for each advancement will only increase significantly."

Master Qingwei's tone grew increasingly somber, "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is decreasing year by year, and signs of the Dharma's decline are already appearing. You want to rely solely on accumulating spiritual energy to cultivate to the level of Celestial Master..."

Master Qingwei didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Bei already understood what he meant.

Difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Shi Jian stood to the side, his expression also becoming more solemn. He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Master, when I was cultivating the Lightning Thunder Fist, I also encountered a similar bottleneck. The way of thunder consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and I barely managed to get through it by hunting monsters and collecting spiritual herbs everywhere."

"Lin Bei is a pseudo-core cultivator of pure Yang, and he needs more spiritual energy than I did back then, but as long as he puts in the effort, we might be able to find a solution."

Master Qingwei nodded, his gaze returning to Lin Bei: "Your master is right. There is always a way out. Although the path of cultivation is difficult, it is not without its paths."

"Keep the thousand-year-old stalactites in the secret realm safe until you reach the True Person realm, then use them to break through to the Human Master realm."

"Becoming a mage is the starting point for becoming a strong person; only those who enter the 'Master Realm' can truly roam freely!"

"Also, you have cultivated the Lightning Thunder Fist and the Maoshan Vajra Body. Both of these techniques consume a great deal of spiritual energy and resources. In the future, you should pay more attention to various rare and precious materials and monster materials."

"Here at Maoshan, our grandmaster will try his best to allocate some cultivation resources to you."

Lin Bei grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Don't worry, Grandmaster, this disciple isn't so easily defeated!"

"Being able to embark on the path of cultivation in this lifetime is already incredibly lucky; isn't it just a matter of consuming a lot of spiritual energy?"

"I'll make up for it by hunting a few more demonic beasts and finding a few more spiritual herbs!"

"Didn't you say this disciple could even contend with an early-stage True Person? Then it's even simpler! Early-stage True Person demon beast materials are far more valuable than those of a Daoist Master!"

Master Qingwei was amused by his bold words: "Your personality is much more pleasing than your master's."

Shi Jian snorted coldly from the side and glanced at Lin Bei with an unfriendly look.

Lin Bei pretended not to see and continued to say to Master Qingwei, "Grandmaster, this disciple has another request."

"you say!"

"The disciple's current method of internal cultivation is still the Taishang Ganying Pian. This method is still useful at the Daoist level, but it is obviously not enough at the level of a Dharma Master. The cultivation efficiency is too low. The disciple wishes to ask the Grandmaster to pass on the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing."

Master Qingwei laughed after hearing this: "Even if you didn't say it, your grandmaster would still have passed it on to you."

"Now that you have reached the level of a Dharma Master, and have been formally accepted into the Maoshan sect, it is only a natural progression for you to cultivate the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture."

He raised his right hand and gently touched Lin Bei's forehead with his index finger.

A torrent of information surged into Lin Bei's sea of ​​consciousness through his fingertips. The words exploded in his mind like a flood, and the densely packed incantations, operating routes, and cultivation taboos were all engraved into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Bei closed his eyes and took a while to process the information.

The information contained the complete Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture, including every word of the cultivation methods from the Dharma Master realm to the Celestial Master realm.

Besides internal energy cultivation techniques, there are also a large number of spells and incantations, including the entire Cleansing Mantra!

"Grandmaster, this..." Lin Bei opened his eyes, his voice filled with excitement, "This is the Cleansing Mantra?"

"The complete text of the Purification Mantra, one of the Eight Great Divine Mantras."

Master Qingwei smiled and said, "Once a Maoshan disciple reaches the Master level, he can formally cultivate the Purification Mantra."

"What you learned at Green Bamboo Mountain was just the basics. This is the truly complete purification mantra, which can expel evil spirits, purify oneself, cleanse the mind, and has endless uses."

Lin Bei was so excited he almost jumped up. He had been coveting the Eight Great Divine Incantations since his days in the Quanzhen Sect, but he never expected that his grandmaster would directly gift him the complete Cleansing Incantation!

"Thank you, Grandmaster!" He kowtowed three times, his forehead turning red from the repeated kowtows.

Master Qingwei stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "Alright, alright, stop banging your head, you'll break it."

"You've just come out of the secret realm, go back and rest for a few days, switch your cultivation techniques and stabilize your realm. If you have any questions, come back to your master."

"Also, have your master teach you the moves that follow the Thunder Sword technique." Master Qingwei glanced at Shi Jian. "As a master, he can't just teach his disciple halfway and then abandon him."

Shi Jian replied expressionlessly, "This disciple understands."

When Lin Bei came out of the main hall, it was almost dark. He stood at the entrance of the hall, smelling the crisp air of Maoshan Mountain, and felt completely relaxed.

I hadn't gone far when I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

"Junior brother! Junior brother!"

Lin Bei turned his head and saw Shi Shaojian running wildly from the other end of the corridor, waving at him as he ran.
