In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Chu Xuan was devouring a steaming bowl of fish and shrimp instant noodles.
He found it incredibly satisfying.
Instant noodles can get tireso if eaten every day.
But if you stop eating them for a while, you start to miss the taste.
For Chu Xuan, who had been in the cultivation world for decades, the flavor was deeply nostalgic.
At this mont, a fire pit was blazing in front of Chu Xuan.
Monts later, he wolfed down the instant noodles.
The flas were nearly out, and he used two sticks to poke sothing out of the fire pit.
It was the Blood Mirror.
The Blood Mirror showed no signs of being scorched by the flas.
Instead, its glow was even brighter than before.
Chu Xuan glanced at the image within the Blood Mirror.
Clear skies, beautiful mountains, and rivers.
It was the place he had first crossed over to.
Now, one-fifth of the image was brightened.
Once fully bright, he should be able to cross back.
He had discovered that the Blood Mirror automatically absorbed energy from the world to recharge.
All kinds of energy were acceptable.
Spiritual energy, killing intent, yin energy, or biological, thermal, light, and electrical energy.
He threw the Blood Mirror into the fire pit to let it absorb thermal energy.
At this rate, it should be fully charged in about a month.
Just then, an excited low growl ca from not far away, belonging to the Corpse Soldier.
Before long, the Corpse Soldier appeared before Chu Xuan, carrying two barrels of gasoline.
It had just returned from hunting zombies.
Chu Xuan had also instructed it to search for fuel.
At first, it couldn't understand, but after so training, it could comprehend the commands.
Chu Xuan looked at the increasingly robust and muscular Corpse Soldier with satisfaction.
"Little Tiger, well done."
Upon hearing this, the Corpse Soldier obediently lowered its head, allowing Chu Xuan to pet it.
In two days, Little Tiger had cleared out all the zombies in the Walmart.
Those that looked good and energetic were captured and drained.
The ones with tender at were used as feed for the Blood Steel Wire.
As for those lacking vitality, they beca nourishnt for the Corpse Soldier.
On the third day, it started clearing the surrounding shops and residences of zombies, using the Walmart as a center.
In five days, the Corpse Soldier had advanced from a level two to a level three Corpse Soldier.
Although its realm only matched a Qi Refining third-level cultivator,
its brute strength and overwhelming resentnt ant that any Qi Refining third-level novice cultivator who hadn't learned many spells would be severely injured if it got close.
"But what should I do with you? Cocooning seems too early."
Chu Xuan looked down at the listless Blood Steel Wire and smiled helplessly.
Perhaps it had eaten too much zombie at.

When Chu Xuan woke up this morning, he found it showing signs of cocooning!
Cocooning ant that the Blood Steel Wire would learn an innate spell, greatly enhancing its power.
This was fantastic news for him.
The Blood Steel Wire was a common Gu Insect.
Its potential wasn't high, capable of cocooning only twice.
Each cocooning was like a rebirth.
Thus, this type of Gu Insect was also known as a Second Transformation Gu, capable of learning two innate spells.
Of course, a Gu Insect's potential wasn't fixed. If it encountered so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures by chance, it might continue to cocoon after consuming them.
What troubled him was that he hadn't started cultivating any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Go catch a couple of lively zombies."
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
"Roar!"
The Corpse Soldier roared excitedly and disappeared with a few leaps.
In less than ten minutes, it reappeared.
Under its strong arms were two zombies.
These two zombies kept roaring and struggling, full of energy.
Chu Xuan nodded approvingly, "Cover their mouths, tie them up, and throw them in the corner."
The Corpse Soldier clumsily followed the command.
Soon, the two zombies were dealt with.
Chu Xuan strode over to them, took out a small knife, and carved blood holes in their arms, legs, and torso.
Then, he took a Breeding Bag from his Storage Bag and filled it with so rice-sized red seeds.
The red seeds quickly took root upon contact with flesh.
In just a few blinks, they sprouted red buds a centiter long.
Their leaves were sharp triangles.
Crimson and sinister.
Swaying gently in the breeze, they resembled the sharp fangs of a demonic beast.
Chilling to the bone.
This spiritual plant was called "Blood Demon Fang."
It fed on flesh and blood, disliking spiritual energy.
It took a month for them to flower and bear fruit.
The fruit was called "Blood Tooth Fruit."
It was precisely the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure needed for the Blood Steel Wire to cocoon.
After consuming the Blood Tooth Fruit, the Blood Steel Wire's speed and strength would significantly increase.
Moreover, there was a chance to learn the best innate spell.
At such tis, the more Blood Tooth Fruit consud, the higher the chance of learning a top-tier innate spell.
Chu Xuan had studied the Gu Control Technique for years and knew this information by heart.
***
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the enthusiastic and selfless zombies around, Chu Xuan's realm had naturally advanced to Qi Refining level six.
Little Tiger wasn't bad either, reaching level five Corpse Soldier.
"They're finally ripe."
Chu Xuan stood before the two zombies, smiling at the heavy fruits on the Blood Demon Fang branches.
Throughout the month, Chu Xuan fed the two zombies a piece or two of zombie at every other day to keep them alive.
This ensured a continuous supply of nutrients for the Blood Demon Fang.
Despite this, after a month, the two zombies were emaciated, skin and bones.
Their flesh and blood had been completely drained by the Blood Demon Fang.
Chu Xuan quickly harvested the Blood Tooth Fruit.
The shriveled zombies were left for Little Tiger to make use of.
Crunch, crunch.
Little Tiger squatted to the side, happily eating its lunch.
Chu Xuan examined the ten thumb-sized Blood Tooth Fruits in his palm.
Marveling at them.
Back when the Wuji Sect was still around, the sect had specialists cultivating Blood Tooth Fruit.
However, they were very expensive, requiring twenty sect contribution points for an exchange.
Roughly estimated, at least eighty Small Spirit Stones.
Back then, he didn't have many Spirit Stones, so he couldn't exchange for Blood Tooth Fruit.
But now, these Blood Tooth Fruits lay quietly in his palm.
Their total value was a whopping eight hundred Small Spirit Stones.
Far exceeding Chu Xuan's entire net worth from before.
"The furnace is inexhaustible, this is truly a great place."
Chu Xuan sighed with emotion, bringing the Blood Tooth Fruit to the Blood Steel Wire's mouth.
Chomp.
One after another.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Steel Wire devoured all ten Blood Tooth Fruits.
Then it fell into a deep slumber.
No matter how Chu Xuan poked it, it remained motionless.
Upon closer inspection, the Blood Steel Wire was now completely enveloped in a brown-red cocoon.
Clearly, it had truly begun cocooning.
In no more than ten days, the Blood Steel Wire would erge from its cocoon, becoming a First Transformation Gu with innate spells!
"By then, I should probably go back and take a look."
"I need to replenish spiritual plant seeds and exchange so Spirit Stones to set up formations."
"Looks like I'll have to squeeze so benefits from my fellow disciples."
Chu Xuan smiled as he looked at the hundreds of Blood Pearls in his Storage Bag.
These were the results of his daily Blood Transformation Technique, purifying zombie blood.
Blood Pearls were a great supplent for cultivation.
Cultivators from demonic sects could hardly resist such temptation.
