Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

In a valley surrounded on three sides.

The clear mountain stream murmurs in my ears, and the quiet valley is as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

At the foot of the mountain, two bamboo houses stand side by side.

Inside the bamboo house.

"Master, will it be dangerous for Junior Uncle to go alone to subdue the fox demon?"

Are we really not going to help?

As Jiale poured the water he had just drawn from the river into the water vat, he asked.

The Taoist priest with four eyes, who was resting on a bench nearby, turned over and said impatiently, "Mind your own business. With your uncle's cultivation level, is it your concern?"

"Oh~"

Jia Le was rebuked and dared not say anything more, continuing with his work.

A short while later, suddenly...

"Boom~"

The earth shook violently.

Jiale lost his balance and fell to the ground along with the bucket, spilling water everywhere.

"Master, run! An earthquake is coming!"

Jiale hurriedly scrambled and ran straight into the fields, shouting as he went.

Master Simu was also thrown off the bench by the tremor. He quickly stood up, walked outside, and looked towards the other side of the mountain.

"This cultivation level, Junior Brother...?"

……

It was several miles away from the Four-Eyes Taoist priest.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

A young man dressed in a Taoist robe stood on the ruins.

"What kind of ancient fox is this? It's so weak! I hadn't even had enough fun before it was gone."

That's right, the tremor just now was caused by the boy.

"In any case, the system task is now complete."

The boy ventriloquited.

His name is Ling Yanyan. He is a time traveler, a disciple of Maoshan, and the junior brother of Uncle Nine and Master Simu.

At this time.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and advancing to the fourth level of Earth Master. Your passive skill level has been increased to Lv4, and you can gain 10000 days of cultivation experience every day!"

"One day equals ten thousand days? Level four automatic cultivation is truly terrifying!"

Ling Yanyan was overjoyed. He activated the Salted Fish System, which allowed him to automatically gain cultivation experience, earn money, and upgrade his spiritual body by simply lying around doing nothing every day.

The amount of experience and money gained each day from these passives depends on the passive level; the higher the level, the more you gain.

The way to upgrade your level is to complete the tasks issued by the system.

As the system rewards began to be distributed, Ling Yanyan instantly felt the flow of his internal energy surge dramatically.

However, this upgrade is not just about that!

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a surge of pure soul power entered Ling Yanyan's sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, Ling Yanyan clearly felt his soul begin to mutate rapidly.

The originally loose and disordered soul power began to condense wildly at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, a transparent soul core appeared above Ling Yanyan's sea of ​​consciousness.

This transparent soul core is placed side by side with the cores of the four major spirit bodies, and its size is even comparable to that of the largest fire spirit body and wood spirit body.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have gained the passive skill: Telekinesis, and have been directly upgraded to Lv3, which can be divided into 125 strands of telekinesis."

Telekinesis, also known as the power of divine thought! In the cultivation world, only a very few soul geniuses can awaken a powerful spiritual body, also known as the soul spirit body!

"A spirit body? I never expected to obtain such a spirit body this time. This thing is said to be even more powerful than a single elemental spirit body!"

Ling Yanyan was instantly surprised.

While not as rare as the Thunder Spirit Body, the Soul Spirit Body is still slightly more powerful in combat.

The main reason is that the probability of a spirit being born among ghosts is a thousand times that of a human, which is why there are more spirits than lightning spirits.

Of course, even a thousand times is extremely rare, but precisely because of this, its cultivation system is much more complete than that of the Thunder Spirit Body, and it has a great many Dao techniques and so on.

Even Maoshan has many Heaven-rank soul-based cultivation techniques and Daoist arts that can be practiced.

As for the cultivation techniques of the Thunder Spirit Body, there are none at all, but there are plenty of Taoist techniques, since many of the top Taoist techniques are of the thunder element.

"Level 3 can split into 125 strands of psychic power? Each strand is 800% of the soul's strength. That means if it's used to pull something, it's equivalent to 125 people with the same strength as me pulling it at the same time?"

"Now that I've advanced to the fourth level of Earth Master, my mental power and physical strength are both about 10 jin each."

In other words, I can directly lift 12.5 million jin (6.75 million kg) of cargo?

Ling Yanyan did a quick calculation, but his pupils instantly contracted.

"Holy crap, if this were to pull down a mountain and smash it down on someone, wouldn't the destructive power be off the charts?"

"Shouldn't this be called 'Mount Tai pressing down'?"

Ling Yanyan gasped instantly.

At the same time, he also recalled some novels he had read in his previous life, and that telekinesis was best suited for sneak attacks.

After all, if you suddenly use over a hundred invisible mental energy attacks to sneak up on someone during a fight, even someone much stronger than you would be unable to withstand it.

"No wonder they say that telekinesis is more powerful than lightning spirits; it seems it's true!"

Ling Yanyan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that after this was over, he would have to hurry back to Maoshan to find some cultivation techniques to practice.

After all, the Lv4 level automatic martial arts training is just too awesome now; it can cultivate a low-grade Heaven-rank Dao technique to 100% in just one or two days.

It should be understood that even some celestial masters cannot cultivate a Taoist technique to an extent of 80% or more in their entire lives, let alone the terrifying 100%.

Such a high level of proficiency also destined it to be terrifying in power.

Subsequently, Ling Yanyan's other passive skills were also upgraded.

"Ding... Automatically upgraded to Lv3 with extra money! Receive 10000 coins daily! And 100 low-grade spirit stones! Or one mid-grade spirit stone!"

"Ding... Congratulations, host! Your Metal Spirit Body level has been upgraded to Lv3. Metal attribute power boost: 800%, Super defense: 1600%"

"Mysterious Wood Battle Technique: High-grade Heaven Rank! It originated from the same source as the Raging Flame Battle Technique, from the ancient Five Elements Sect's founding ancestor, the Five Elements Dao Lord. After cultivating the Wood Spirit Body, its level can be improved along with the Spirit Body's level!"

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have gained 6800 merits."

Three notification sounds followed, and Ling Yanyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing them.

"1000 silver dollars a day? I'm rich! And it even adds spirit stones? And so many! It seems I'll not only have more money than I can spend in the mortal world, but I'll also be a tycoon in the cultivation world!"

"In addition, there is the Xuanmu Battle Technique, which is actually from the same school as the Kuangyan Battle Technique, and the founder of the Five Spirits Sect is named Wuling Daojun."

"Doesn't that mean he might possess five spiritual bodies? Besides the Profound Wood Battle Technique and the Raging Flame Battle Technique, there are probably three other battle techniques! It seems I'll have to ask that elder of the Scripture Pavilion when I get back."

Thinking of this, Ling Yanyan's eyes flashed, and then he immediately used the automatic martial arts training to begin cultivating the Xuanmu Battle Technique!

"boom!!!!"

However, as soon as the automatic martial arts training began, a large number of memories flooded into his mind.

At the same time, Ling Yanyan could clearly feel that the wood spiritual energy in his dantian, which was not very strong compared to the fire spiritual energy, was now beginning to surge wildly.

Soon, the strength of the wood elemental energy reached the standard of the fire elemental energy.

At the same time, because the two kinds of spiritual energy came from the same source, they complemented each other and their power actually became slightly stronger!

"It seems that if the Five Elements Battle Technique, which combines five different cultivation methods, can be synthesized, its base level will definitely not be lower than the Spirit Rank!"

Ling Yanyan felt a sense of anticipation as she thought about this.

However, obtaining the remaining few battle manuals is not easy.

"But then again, these fox demons really deserve to die. They were just some remnants, yet they gave me over six thousand merits. I wonder how many merits I would have gained if I had wiped them out when they were at their peak? Probably a hundred thousand or even more!"

Looking at the merits, Ling Yan Yan couldn't help but snort coldly. The more merits these fox demons accumulated, the more humans they had killed.

It seems that even without a mission, I still need to find out the follow-up to this mission, since the merit is really high!

He believed that this mission had a sequel, possibly involving an even more powerful fox demon clan.

It could also be other demon races that feed on humans. Although they see it as just part of their daily lives, humans would all die!

"System, open my property table!"

With that in mind, he spoke directly to the system.

"Boom!!!"

The next instant, a virtual projection appeared in front of him!

Attribute table:

Name: Ling Yanyan

Realm: Fourth Level of Earth Master

"All professions are ranked as Earth-tier (top-tier)"

"Techniques: Raging Flame Battle Technique, Mystic Wood Battle Technique"

Money: 17354 silver dollars

Even just a glance at the data is enough to tell that Ling Yanyan has made a significant contribution this time.

At the same time, their strength has also improved.

The emergence of telekinesis gave Ling Yanyan another powerful means of launching a sneak attack.

"It seems I need to find some time to refine some magical artifacts specifically for cultivators of telekinesis."

Ling Yanyan's plan was naturally to use throwing knives, the most convenient weapon for ambushing people.

After all, this is the weapon most favored by people with telekinesis, so there must be a reason for it.

Thinking of this, Ling Yanyan immediately activated his telekinetic powers.

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, his figure flew up.

"brush!!!!"

Then, amidst a surge of soul power, his figure instantly tore through the void and disappeared into the ruins beneath his feet.

As he left, the raging blue flames burning in the forest were extinguished instantly, and the valley returned to silence!

……

Early the next morning, two figures slowly walked towards the end of the valley.

"Master, is this your home? It looks so beautiful!"

A little girl dressed in a floral dress was happily looking at the beautiful valley in front of her.

"Yes, this is Master's house. I haven't seen it for years, but it's still the same!"

The old monk with gray hair next to the little girl spoke up with a smile!

The two were none other than Master Ikkyu, who had been traveling for two years, and his newly accepted disciple Qingqing.

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to that kid Jiale later!"

Master Ikkyu smiled, then walked eagerly into the depths of the valley.

The two soon returned to the bamboo house.

"Qingqing, let's clean up later. Come on, I'll take you to see Jiale."

Master Ikkyu put down his luggage, said something to Qingqing, and then couldn't wait to walk outside!

"My master really insisted on introducing me to this Jiale!"

Qingqing looked at her master's back with a sense of helplessness.

From the moment she became a disciple, Master Ikkyu frequently mentioned Jiale, always speaking only of positive things.

Of course, being naive, she didn't consider whether her master had other ideas.

She felt that her master treated Jiale much better than she did.

However, she was very grateful to her master and quickly followed him!
