Chapter 828 Zombie World 4

Seeing that Ruyi didn't take his reminder to heart, Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, Miss Ruyi, you better listen to me."

"Uncle Jiu is right." Seeing Uncle Jiu's expression, Ruyi knew that if she didn't explain, there would be misunderstanding, so she added: "I know what Uncle Jiu meant, but I have already absorbed all the effects of the medicine. It's useless to lie down now, so I got up and moved around."

"You've absorbed all the medicinal power of the medicine in just one night?" Uncle Jiu's eyes were full of doubt. That was a spiritual medicine, not ordinary water. With his current level of cultivation, it would take at least half a month for him to absorb that bowl of spiritual medicine. How could this girl absorb it in less than one night?

The logic behind the absorption of medicinal power is the same as that of the absorption of spiritual energy. In this Dharma-Ending Age, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin. If ordinary cultivators want to absorb spiritual power and break the limitations of the human body, they must at least persist in meditation and practice for several years. Even those with better aptitude, a purer physique and better compatibility with spiritual energy will need at least half a year of practice.

Thinking back then, he was already considered the most talented disciple of this generation of Maoshan disciples. It took him nearly a year to break the limitations of the human body, successfully build a foundation, and cross the watershed between ordinary people and those who practice Taoism.

The medicinal power in the spiritual medicine is very high, enough for an ordinary person to absorb and complete the foundation-building process, or even to enter the first stage of cultivation from the foundation-building stage and transform essence into qi.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu still felt that it was unlikely. Seeing that he seemed to have doubts, he did not explain verbally, but simply stretched out a hand, motioning Uncle Jiu to check.

Uncle Jiu grabbed Ruyi's wrist and sent a trace of spiritual energy into Ruyi's body. After a moment, Uncle Jiu's expression changed from suspicion to shock. "What was your previous cultivation level?"

"As soon as the spiritual energy enters your meridians, it disappears in an instant, just like a river flowing into the sea." Such broad and clean meridians must have been created after many breakthroughs and marrow cleansings. Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be surprised.

"Uncle Jiu, no matter what my cultivation level was before, I have become like this now. I can only practice again from the beginning. There is no point in you asking me again."

Ruyi didn't dare to say it, for she was afraid that if she really said it, Uncle Jiu would be scared to death.

"Could it be that your previous realm has reached the stage of refining spirit into emptiness?" Since Ruyi didn't say anything, Uncle Jiu had to guess on his own. Nowadays, the cultivation in the entire spiritual world is divided into five realms, namely, foundation building, refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness and the last one, refining emptiness and merging with the Dao.

Among them, the foundation building is also called the sorcerer. A Taoist who has reached the foundation building will have "qi" in his body. Although it is very weak, he can attach this qi to objects through some Taoist magic, thereby achieving the effect of exorcising evil spirits and slaying demons. In simple terms, it is enchantment, driving talismans, etc.

After building the foundation, one reaches the remaining four realms. The first realm is refining essence into qi, and the third realm is refining spirit into emptiness. Each realm can be divided into three small realms. After the fourth realm, only two realms are divided.

Uncle Jiu is currently in the first small realm of refining Qi into spirit, which is what people often call the early stage of a geomancer. Judging from his own experience of cleansing his meridians and marrow when he broke through from the first realm of a sorcerer to become a human master, and then from a human master to the second realm to become a geomancer, he did not dare to guess that Ruyi's previous cultivation level was that of an immortal in the fourth realm. Instead, he was a little conservative and guessed that he was a heavenly master in the third realm.

Uncle Jiu wanted to hear Ruyi nod yes, but he was also afraid of Ruyi nodding yes. He stared at Ruyi expectantly and nervously, but Ruyi did not follow Uncle Jiu's idea at all. When she heard the four words "Refine the Spirit and Transform into Void", not only did her eyes not move, even the curve of the smile at the corner of her mouth did not change at all.

"Uncle Jiu, just give up. I said I won't mention it again."

"Alas!" Uncle Jiu couldn't get an answer and felt itchy inside, but Ruyi insisted on not telling him. When he asked, he sighed in a sad and heartbroken tone and said something like 'Years of practice are all in vain in one day, it's too difficult to start over again'.

After hearing this, Uncle Jiu suddenly remembered Ruyi's previous miserable appearance, and then he remembered Ruyi's empty meridians. All of a sudden, his curiosity turned into guilt, and Uncle Jiu couldn't ask any more questions.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you don't want to say, I won't ask." Uncle Jiu shook his head. It was easy to say that re-cultivation was easy, but in reality it was much more difficult than the first time. Although she had gained a lot of experience in cultivation and had no bottlenecks, that was in a world with abundant spiritual energy. Now that Ruyi had fallen into a world with scarce spiritual energy like now, the wide meridians in her body had become a bad thing. She didn't know how much spiritual energy she needed to absorb to recover to her first level.

"Fortunately, there is no need to rebuild the foundation to rebuild. Otherwise, with Miss Ruyi's current meridian condition, it would take who knows how many years to build the foundation. This can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?" Uncle Jiu thought of Ruyi's situation and shook his head helplessly. He had no way to help with this matter. Ruyi could only figure it out on her own.

Ruyi herself is aware of her own situation, so compared to cultivating herself to become a quasi-saint in the zombie world, a world with scarce spiritual energy, she now wants to work harder to accumulate spiritual energy. It would be better to wait until the spiritual energy she has accumulated is enough to activate the Sun and Moon Shuttle again, leave this world and find the next world with more abundant spiritual energy, and then resume her cultivation.

But before that, Ruyi must survive in this world.

Ruyi has already figured out how to survive in this world of zombies and ghosts, and that is to rely on Uncle Jiu and Maoshan.

then......

"Uncle Jiu, this is for you." The first thing Ruyi did when she came to Uncle Jiu was to give him a gift. "I don't have a single dollar on me right now, so I want to use this to pay off the 100 dollars I promised you."

Uncle Jiu looked at the jade box that Ruyi took out curiously. After thinking about it, he took it and opened it. However, what Uncle Jiu didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the jade box, it was as if he had unlocked a seal. All of a sudden, a very pure breath rushed out of the jade box, causing the sky and the earth to change color in an instant.

Uncle Jiu was horrified. He didn't even have time to see what was in the jade box. He quickly closed it and turned to stare at Ruyi, "Miss Ruyi, what exactly is in your box? Just a little bit of the breath you exuded can cause such a big reaction. Even I just smelled that breath and I felt that my realm was loosened."

"Forehead......"

"Yes, it's the magic herb." Ruyi felt a little guilty. To be honest, Ruyi herself didn't expect that an ordinary magic herb could cause changes in the spiritual world. She thought it was nothing.

"What?!!!!"

"Immortal?! Grass!!!" Uncle Jiu was so stunned that he held the jade box in his hand tightly and refused to let go. He had originally thought that it must be some kind of precious treasure from heaven and earth. Miss Ruyi was too young to know its value and he should never take advantage of her. But now that he knew that the thing in the jade box was actually the legendary immortal grass, Uncle Jiu just wanted to return it. He would never return it even if he was treated shamelessly.
