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

Ling Yanyan held a peach wood sword, stood straight, and looked straight ahead.

Celestial Master's Edict!

His figure became transparent, as if merging into the air and blending into the surrounding environment.

The zombie king's attack speed increased dramatically.

Ling Yanyan remained motionless, his eyes tightly closed.

Celestial Master's Edict!

Ling Yanyan repeated the same sentence over and over again.

It's like a lullaby, making people unconsciously follow his instructions.

boom!

The zombie king finally pounced.

Ling Yanyan opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them.

The peach wood sword in his hand drew an arc and flew towards the zombie king, so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Zombie King reacted quickly, extending his claws to grab the flying sword, but Ling Yanyan was even faster.

puff!

The peach wood sword pierced the zombie king's arm, splattering blood everywhere.

Ouch!

The zombie king let out a painful roar, his hand loosened, and the peach wood sword fell to the ground, spinning around.

Its body swayed twice, and finally it knelt down.

Ling Yanyan smiled and clenched his right fist, then slammed it into the zombie king's head.

boom!

The zombie king fell to the ground and died.

After defeating the zombie king, Ling Yanyan's body returned to normal.

He picked up the peach wood sword from the ground and looked at his own image.

The Dharma body then became ethereal and vanished, as if it had never existed.

He had some doubts in his heart.

Although casting the Celestial Master's Edict just now consumed most of my energy, it was not without its rewards.

At the very least, he could feel a strange power of faith surging from his body and gathering on the peach wood sword, making it exceptionally sharp and sturdy.

He thought to himself: Could it be because I just used the Celestial Master's Edict on that zombie king?

With a thought, Ling Yanyan returned the peach wood sword to his storage ring and walked outside.

Ding dong! The host has successfully slain the demon and is rewarded with 500 experience points and two Taoist robes.

The system notification sound echoed in Ling Yanyan's mind.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yanyan's face showed surprise, and he muttered to himself: "How could there be such a good thing?"

That's great, it's a good thing!

I was worried about how to make money, but then I ran right into a trap.

This time, his cultivation level soared after slaying demons and monsters, reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, just half a step away from the sixth level of Body Refining.

Moreover, his spirit is much stronger than before. In fact, when he encountered the Zombie King, he didn't even need to use the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror to defeat him.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You have successfully slain the Zombie King and earned 500 points and a talisman. Would you like to claim it?

Talismans?

Hearing the system notification, Ling Yanyan was startled.

He knew the power of talismans. Even in the cultivation world, such things were rare and expensive, and they required talismans as a medium to be summoned.

Moreover, these talismans have level restrictions, and each time they are summoned, they will cause a certain degree of damage to the caster.

Ling Yanyan dared not use this thing lightly, as he was unsure if he could bear such a price.

System, you're not kidding me, are you?

Ling Yanyan asked tentatively.

Ding dong! Host, please rest assured, how could I possibly lie to you? This is a genuine talisman, but its grade is too low to summon the Zombie King.

Hearing the system's assurance, Ling Yan Yan finally felt at ease. With a thought, he took out the talisman.

This is an ancient brass talisman, entirely black with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, emitting a faint glow.

Is this what talismans are?

Ling Yanyan stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was used for.

However, since the system says it's a talisman, it must be correct. It's just that he knows too little about it and has no idea how to control it.

Ling Yanyan held it in his hand and weighed it a few times, finding that it was quite heavy and seemed to have a substantial feel to it.

However, he wasn't interested in these talismans; in fact, he found them rather strange.

He put the talisman into his storage ring, intending to find a restaurant to eat at and inquire about any channels through which he could purchase such talismans.

Ding-dong, host, would you like to exchange for a talisman?

Yes!

Ling Yanyan nodded: Use it!

The talisman floated in the air, forming a cloud of white mist that slowly rose and then disappeared.

A moment later, the white mist condensed again, turning into a slip of paper with three words written on it: Celestial Master's Edict!

Um?.

Ling Yanyan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

He had never seen a talisman, let alone knew what one was.

However, he wasn't worried. Since this thing could be used to summon the Zombie King using the "680" method, it couldn't be too bad, and it might even be a pretty awesome thing.

Ding dong! The host has successfully redeemed the Celestial Master's Edict, and has been rewarded with 100 points and a Taoist robe.

Ling Yanyan was stunned upon hearing this.

Holy crap, this is ridiculous! I only killed the Zombie King, how come I only got a thousand points and a Taoist robe as a reward?

He was on the verge of tears.

This is absolutely a waste of resources!

However, Ling Yanyan quickly calmed down. Since the system had given him this opportunity, it must have its purpose.

Without much thought, he put on the Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe is made of very soft material and is extremely comfortable to wear.

Hmm, it fits perfectly!

Ling Yanyan patted his chest, quite satisfied.

He then looked at the writing on the Taoist robe, where a line of small characters was clearly printed:

Maoshan disciple Ling Yanyan has slain the Zombie King today and received a decree from the Celestial Master, in which he is presented with a set of Taoist robes.

Ling Yanyan was taken aback. He thought the talisman could only be used once, but he didn't expect it could be used again.

Ling Yanyan looked at the talisman in his backpack.

What exactly is this thing?

He opened the talisman, on which was written a sentence: "If Ling Yanyan, a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, encounters danger, he can summon other disciples of the Maoshan Sect to help him exorcise evil spirits."

Ling Yanyan: ...
