"Roar—!"
The male zombie let out a roar and charged over.
Its crimson eyes were filled with bloodshot madness, devoid of any reason.
The Skinless Ghost Soldier raised its right foot.
Its right foot twisted and transformed into a sharp long blade, stomping and breaking the female zombie's neck.
At the same time.
Its right hand also transformed into a blade, swiftly slashing across the neck of the charging male zombie!
The grotesque head flew up, and blood splattered!
Seeing this bloody scene, Li Yue felt no discomfort; instead, he felt a bit excited.
While the blood was still warm, he immediately formed hand seals and directly cast a Spell.
Blood Coagulation Technique!
The splattering blood, the blood flowing on the ground, and the blood within the two zombie bodies—
All were drawn by an inexplicable force.
Like numerous fine threads, they converged above Li Yue's palm, forming a large, crimson blood sphere.
Mist steamed from the top of the blood sphere.
A large amount of Impurities was evaporated.
The blood sphere also slowly shrunk.
After about twenty breaths of time.
The blood sphere transformed into two crystal-clear, thumb-sized blood beads.
This was the purest, impurity-free blood essence!
"The blood of one zombie can condense into one blood bead?"
"This is equivalent to ten ordinary Mortals!"
Li Yue looked at the two blood beads in his hand, overjoyed.
These were precious blood beads!
In his original body's memory, he had never obtained such Advanced goods.
After all, it was difficult for low-level Demonic Cultivators to survive.
They simply didn't dare to hunt for blood food to condense blood beads.
At most, they would buy some pig blood, duck blood, or similar to Cultivate, which was better than nothing.
"I only have twelve fragments of Spirit Stones on me."
"That is, one Low-Grade Spirit Stone and two Spirit Stone fragments."
"Including the soul refining banner in my hand and other items, my net worth doesn't exceed ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones..."
"And one blood bead."
"Is worth two Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"
He was beaming with joy.
In the Cultivation World, Spirit Stones were not omnipotent.
But without Spirit Stones, one could do nothing at all.
Magical Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, Spells, Medicinal Pills, Talismans, Formations... and so on.
Which one didn't require Spirit Stones to buy?
There were too many good things that Spirit Stones could buy!
Moreover, if he himself could continuously consume blood beads while Cultivating, his cultivation could rapidly improve!
"Hehehe—!"
Suddenly, the Skinless Ghost Soldier let out an excited cry.
Its dark eyes stared intently at the corpses of the two zombies.
Thin black mist emanated from the bodies of the two zombies.
Within the black mist.
Two particularly grotesque, translucent zombie raw soulss struggled to emerge.
Unlike the living souls of ordinary Mortals.
These two living souls were entirely reddish, twisted and entangled, appearing very fierce.
And they completely lacked reason; as soon as they appeared, they tried to rush towards Li Yue.
"This is—"
Li Yue was stunned, his eyes wide.
living souls?!
And they were naturally evil souls?
These zombies not only possessed fresh blood but also had living souls!
What were living souls?
They were the souls of living beings.
In the legends of the Cultivation World, there was a place of Reincarnation, and at the moment a living being died, its soul would disappear into Reincarnation.
Only the souls of some Mortals or Cultivators with strong grievances would remain, becoming living souls.
But such Mortals were too few.
Often, only one in tens of thousands of Mortals would become one.
So many Demonic Cultivators would cruelly torment Mortals.
Just to make Mortals generate strong grievances, thereby preventing them from entering Reincarnation and turning into living souls!
But even so.
Only about one percent of Mortals could become living souls after death.
Yet, living souls were indispensable resources for many Demonic Path Spells and Divine Abilities.
Some Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques even relied on devouring living souls for Cultivation!
One can imagine the preciousness of living souls.
At this moment.
Li Yue felt dizzy.
These zombies were simply treasures all over.
They directly provided him with two types of Demonic Path Materials: blood beads and living souls!
"Doomsday World?"
"This is simply a Demonic Path treasure trove world!"
"Any Demonic Cultivator coming here would probably be ecstatic!"
He took a deep breath, looking at the two zombie raw soulss that had already charged over.
Without any hesitation.
He directly activated the soul refining banner in his hand.
A large expanse of black mist instantly surged out from it.
With just a flash.
It swallowed the two charging zombie raw soulss and retracted them into the soul refining banner.
The Skinless Ghost Soldier also transformed into ghost mist and returned to the soul refining banner.
"First, I'll refine them."
Before Li Yue left, he glanced at the dried-up bodies of the two zombies on the ground.
A hint of regret appeared on his face.
If only he knew the 'Bone Extraction Technique'.
The bones of these two zombies must be of very good quality, capable of condensing bone essence.
Those Demonic Cultivators who Cultivated Bone Path Spells needed them in large quantities, and they were quite valuable.
Now, they could only be discarded here, which was truly too wasteful.
"Perhaps—"
"I can choose to also Cultivate the Bone Path?"
His heart stirred.
There were numerous Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques, leading to countless branches.
Soul Path, Blood Path, Bone Path, Human Skin Dao, Seven Emotions Dao, Curse Dao, Poison Dao, Death Dao... each Dao was extremely powerful and profoundly mysterious.
But most Demonic Cultivators only Cultivated one Dao their entire lives.
It wasn't that they didn't want to also Cultivate other Demonic Path methods.
It was simply that the Demonic Path was too resource-intensive!
It was already difficult enough to obtain enough resources to support the Cultivation of one Dao.
Where would they find resources to also Cultivate other Demonic Path branches?
Most Demonic Path Magical Artifacts and Spells required massive resources to Cultivate.
For example, the soul refining banner.
Without a large number of living souls, this Magical Artifact was nothing at all.
But if there were a large number of living souls, this Magical Artifact could unleash terrifying power!
This was the characteristic of the Demonic Path.
As long as there were enough resources.
Cultivation could progress at an astonishing speed.
And one's strength could be so powerful as to make Cultivators of the same rank despair!
"But I am different..."
"This is an entire Zombie World..."
"The number of zombies, not to mention many, must be over a million, right?"
"So many resources can completely support me in also Cultivating several Demonic Path branches!"
Li Yue's eyes sparkled.
He had made a decision in his heart.
After returning, he must find a way to obtain the Legacy of the Bone Path.
The bones of zombies couldn't be wasted like this... Fourth floor of the convenience store.
Li Yue casually found a single room, locked the door, and sat down cross-legged.
He looked at the quiet soul refining banner in his hand and formed hand seals.
A mist of blood appeared, enveloping the soul refining banner.
Then, a spark ignited, growing into a small ball of Blood Flame.
This was 'Blood Flame'!
A flame that burned with Qi mixed with magical power as its source.
It was also a demonic flame born from Cultivating the 'Blood Spring Art'.
However, his Blood Flame was extremely weak, not even at the introductory level, and had no power to fight.
It could only be used to refine some low-grade Magical Artifacts.
It was even insufficient to refine a low-grade magical artifact.
"This 'Blood Flame' also needs to be improved."
"Otherwise, it will be impossible to refine the soul refining banner into a low-grade magical artifact."
He thought to himself.
Whoosh—
The Blood Flame seeped into the soul refining banner thread by thread.
Eighty breaths later.
Li Yue let out a long breath.
Looking at the quiet soul refining banner in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
The two zombie raw soulss had already been refined into Ghost Soldiers.
This soul refining banner could now be called the Four Souls Banner!
