Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Without Tribulation Qi, Chu Zheng didn't even know whether his incarnated journey through tribulations was of any help to his original body.

—Thunk thunk—

The temple doors were knocked.

Chu Zheng rose from the pool, his hair smooth and no blood clinging to him, his height had abruptly surged to nearly ten feet tall, his muscles knotted like they were cast from gold and iron.

The growth in physical strength was inevitable for Chu Zheng, naturally revealing a few anomalies.

He casually pulled out a piece of battle armor, and Chu Zheng remotely opened the room door:

"Come in."

Gu Zhenxun stepped in, followed by ten women, all adorned with pearl and jade, dressed in silk, with jade belts around their waists, sketching out their graceful figures.

Chu Zheng glanced over and, seeing the Yin Qi entwined around these women, he immediately understood Gu Zhenxun's intention.

Their Yuan Yin was still intact, rich in blood Qi, which for zombies, their fresh blood was a great tonic.

"These are all from the Gu Family bloodline, absolutely reliable, all possess cultivation, and are still virgins, which should benefit your cultivation."

Gu Zhenxun bowed, his tone somewhat flattering: "From today, they will stay here to attend to your daily needs."

Having discussed with Song Zhao, Gu Zhenxun had already formed an opinion about Chu Zheng's real identity. This must be some fallen powerhouse whose residual soul had taken over a Yin Corpse, thus possessing so many abilities.

Knowing this, Gu Zhenxun had been continuously trying to appease Chu Zheng, reasoning that if they served Chu Zheng well, even a few martial arts and secret techniques leaking through inadvertently would suffice for the Gu Family's endless use, establishing an unshakeable foundation for his generation.

The ten women stood behind Gu Zhenxun, shaking with fear, their complexions pale, their eyes filled with forcibly suppressed terror.

The distant figure clad in battle armor, with blood-red eyes, wings on his back, a green face, and sharp fangs, looked like a demonic fiend. Just one glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine, making it difficult to sleep through the night.

If they had to serve him for a long time, they were likely to be scared to death.

From several yards away, Chu Zheng could sense these women's chaotic heartbeat, and he shook his head:

"No need, I will leave tomorrow."

Although these women's blood had some benefits for him, the amount was small and, with their low cultivation, not very valuable.

If accumulated over time, it might be of some use, but he was not planning to spend more time with the Gu Family.

His cultivation was about to enter the Sixth Order, and with two Seventh Order Supreme Treasures protecting him, he already had the qualifications to explore that Great Tomb.

Most importantly, staying with the Gu Family made the growth of the Repair Master's experience too slow.

He wanted to maximize the Repair Master experience, which would give him more confidence in his original self's future actions.

"You... are leaving just like that?"

Gu Zhenxun's expression froze, his explanation tinged with panic:

"I didn't intend to obstruct you, but the great favor you bestowed upon the Gu Family line back then has not yet been repaid. Your sudden departure makes it difficult for me to rest easy..."

He spoke earnestly, but how much was true and how much was false in his words, only he knew.

Seeing a way out, the ten women behind Gu Zhenxun discreetly sighed with relief, serving a Yin Corpse up close was unpredictable—they could be killed at any moment.

"No need."

Chu Zheng handed over a red spherical bead, speaking gently, "This is called a Melting Bead, suitable for gathering and storing Blood Qi. You keep collecting fresh blood for me as usual, and I will come to retrieve it when I have the time."

The Melting Bead was a method Chu Zheng had obtained from the Dongyuan Realm for refining, perfect for storing Blood Qi, and very useful for his current situation.

"...Yes."

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhenxun dared not defy Chu Zheng and bowed to receive the Melting Bead.

Holding the blood-colored bead in his palm, he sighed inwardly. At least the connection hadn't been completely severed; there might still be chances to ingratiate in the future.

Before he could react, Chu Zheng threw over a Storage Spirit Ring: "These items can be considered compensation for the years of effort and resources the Gu Family has spent."

For over a decade, the Gu Family had spared him many troubles, allowing him to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation and to elevate his Cultivation Realm, thanks to the Gu Family.

After seeing the items inside the Spiritual Ring, even Gu Zhenxun, who had experienced countless storms, couldn't help but hold his breath, unable to recover for a long time.

Heaps of Magic Artifacts and Magic Treasures, along with some Classical Books.

These all originated from the fragments collected by the Gu Family, some Fourth Order and Fifth Order trash and a few Sixth Order items, which were of no use to Chu Zheng.

He had never counted exactly how many items there were, but he presumed that, for the Gu Family, it was a substantial amount.

"This...This junior dares not accept."

Gu Zhenxun stood with his head bowed, his hands trembling slightly as he held the Spiritual Ring. Not to mention the Magic Treasures and Divine Weapons, those Classical Books were what he had always desired the most.

However, the gift Chu Zheng casually bestowed was too heavy for the Gu Family.

So heavy that Gu Zhenxun felt it was somewhat unreal, vaguely fearful.

Suddenly, a light sound—

A demonic wind entered the hall, and Gu Zhenxun abruptly looked up, only to find that Chu Zheng had disappeared.

Clearly, Chu Zheng didn't want to waste any more words and chose to leave early.

After a while, Gu Zhenxun took a deep breath, waved his hand to dismiss the group of women behind him.

Then, he sat down right there and began studying a few of the spells, his eyes filled with extreme excitement.

Through the Cultivation Technique in his hands, he could almost see the brilliant future where the Gu Family would rise mightily.

...

...

Having left Fire Rock City, Chu Zheng's destination was clear—he headed straight for the Great Tomb.

Now his appearance was very noticeable, making it easy for others to see through him, so he disguised himself.

Using the False Form Divine Skill, for the current Chu Zheng, only a bit could be performed. He concealed his purple fur and revealed his robust physique, but the piercing Yin Qi was still hard to hide.

Still, he managed to appear somewhat human-like, not too terrifying.

He traveled by night, and adding the time spent gathering information, it took Chu Zheng half a month to finally reach the Great Tomb.

This place was far from Fire Rock City, hardly a place the Gu Family clan members could have found.

Inside the Great Tomb, not a member of the Human Race was buried. The identity and strength of the tomb's owner was unknown, and it had existed for nearly ten thousand years.

Throughout the ages, countless strong beings had come, yet the Great Tomb had never been opened, shrouded in mystery.

The more elusive it was, the more it piqued the curiosity of various living creatures. Even if they couldn't delve deep, they still wished to explore nearby.

A Nameless City emerged as a result.

The city spanned over two hundred leagues, mixing various forces within, constantly causing friction on normal days.

Fortunately, there was a sufficiently powerful being inside the city who could just manage to keep the situation under control; otherwise, deaths would occur daily.

Chu Zheng concealed his aura as he entered the city. Though he had disguised himself, the moment he entered, many people secretly glanced his way, sensing the startling Yin Qi on him and recognizing that he clearly was not from the Human Race.

Regarding this, Chu Zheng could only pretend to be unaware and quietly began collecting secrets about the Great Tomb.

Soon enough, he exchanged a Fifth Order Magical Treasure for some information on the Great Tomb, simple and direct.

From the outside, the Great Tomb seemed to stretch only about thirty leagues, but in reality, it contained a vast space covering millions of leagues.

As Chu Zheng generously offered such a large bounty, naturally, he attracted the attention of many. During this process of gathering information, many living creatures, with varied intentions, unknowingly trailed behind him.

Having gained the information, Chu Zheng didn't stay long; he left the city and headed directly towards the nearby Great Tomb, followed by many living creatures like a shadow.

It was midday, and the sun was intensely bright.

Chu Zheng walked under the grand sunlight, drawing in the essence of Yang Qi, warming the blood in his body that felt almost frozen.

This scene was witnessed by many living creatures, and for a time, some knew it was tough and retreated, no longer following him.
