Chapter Thirty-Six: Vampire

  "Go to the Jade Maiden Peak?" Gai Luobang thought that Shen Cong would ask for a secret recipe or elixir, or even a precious artifact, but he never expected him to want to go to the Jade Maiden Peak. Gai Luobang's mind turned and he couldn't help but laugh, this hero is having trouble passing the beauty pass, seeing Shen Cong's age is not young, finding a companion is also a normal human desire.

  "Please, Master, permit it!"

  Shen Cong begged to say that if it weren't for the order of Sword King Gai Bang, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Jade Maiden Peak. The master of the Jade Maiden Peak, Luo Qianyun, had previously issued an order prohibiting any disciples from entering the peak, and those who disobeyed would be severely punished. This was also why Mingming and his group could only stay at the foot of the Jade Maiden Peak, drooling over the fairy on the peak but not daring to take a step past the Thunder Pond.

  At that time, someone disregarded the order and thought they had some real power, so they rushed to Yu Nuofeng. As a result, they were caught by Luo Qianyun. On the spot, their cultivation was weakened by one stage. The miserable cry could be heard clearly even at the foot of the peak.

  This treatment was extremely harsh, and the disciple on the mountain peak went to argue with Na Lianyun, but it ended in nothing. The disciple also became a warning bell, warning later disciples not to dare take half a step towards that mountain peak. Otherwise, even if the master of the peak came, it would be useless.

  Shen Cong didn't have high expectations for the beautiful scenery, but he still went to Yu Nuofeng for Lin Liting. After two months of cultivation, his computer's battery was almost dead, and all functions were nearly paralyzed. If it weren't for the computer's assistance, Shen Cong's cultivation effect would definitely be very poor, and it would be impossible for him to comprehend the Blood Wind Knife Technique in just two short months.

  The result of the previous comparison with Nie Xiao is now so simple. After all, it's still a matter of strength, and what Shen is doing now is to improve his strength faster in order to take revenge.

  Shen Cong had also investigated within the sect and found that apart from Lin Liting, there were other disciples who possessed innate talent for techniques and could cast powerful techniques at the third stage of cultivation. As it turned out, there really were. The only pity was that those people were proficient in other techniques such as fire and water techniques, but only Lin Liting was proficient in thunder techniques.

  There is also a master of the Taoist arts, who has now reached the fourth stage of cultivation at the peak. Not only can he cast Palm Thunder, but he can also cast ordinary Divine Thunder Arts. But even if Shen Cong were to die, he would not dare to provoke him, otherwise he would end up being hacked to death. Therefore, Lin Liting became the best choice, forcing Shen Cong to go to that Jade Maiden Peak.

  Gai Luobang smiled, yet not quite smiling, as he looked at Shen Cong. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "I had originally intended to bestow upon you an even better item, such as a third-grade treasure sword. However, since you have already made up your mind, I shall grant your wish."

  "Thank you, Master!" Shen Cong's eyes lit up involuntarily. As long as Gai Bang allowed it, Shen Cong could naturally go straight to the Jade Maiden Peak. As for how to obtain electricity afterwards, that would depend on Shen Cong's own abilities.

  A jade box appeared in Gai Luobang's hand, "In a few more days, it will be the birthday of Luo Qianyun, the master of Yufu Peak. You take this gift to congratulate her. As for other things, I, as your master, cannot help you, you can only try your best." Gai Luobang said with a hint of a smile.

  The jade box flew into Shen Cong's hands, and even through the jade box, he could still feel the astonishing spiritual power fluctuating within. Shen Cong did not open it, but directly put it into the Qiankun bag. A sixth-stage strongman giving a gift was naturally extraordinary, and it was inevitable to be moved, so it was better not to look at it.

  Shen Cong did not open the jade box. Gai Luobang nodded in approval and said a few words of encouragement, then let Shen Cong withdraw on his own.

  After leaving Gai Luobang, Shen Cong returned to his own courtyard. The gate that had been blasted open had already been repaired, and the style was the same as before. Shen Cong took a look and walked in, entering the room dedicated to cultivation, where he sat cross-legged.

  A simple examination of the physical injuries revealed that they were all superficial, not serious. Only the hole in his arm was a bit troublesome, but it was just an inconvenience. As a variant who had become a zombie, Shen Cong's body was already vastly different from that of ordinary people. This kind of injury would have taken a long time to heal on a normal person, but on Shen Cong, it was merely a flesh wound and didn't even affect his combat effectiveness.

  Put down the Longque knife on your knees, there are some gaps on the blade, which occurred during the battle. However, Shen took out the knife at this moment, not for this matter, but for the blood essence hidden in the knife at this moment, which was absorbed from Nie Xiao's body. These blood did not let the Longque knife fully absorb, but retained it.

  The dragon bird knife slightly trembled, and a red color seeped out from the blade. Initially, the speed was still somewhat slow, but later it became faster and faster, until a cluster of blood-red color condensed in mid-air. There was no bloody smell, but instead a faint fragrance. This was the essence of blood, which had already excluded the residual impurities in the blood. With Nie Xiao's three-stage cultivation, his own blood naturally contained spiritual power.

  Looking at the blood clot, Shen Cong hesitated for a moment before making up his mind. A pair of fangs slowly extended from Shen Cong's mouth, and as they appeared, his eyes turned crimson red. However, Shen Cong's aura underwent a drastic change, and his cultivation directly broke through to the second stage, reaching the third stage of Tongli. This was Shen Cong's strongest state. Unfortunately, his aura was too strange, and even with the computer wallpaper skin changer, it couldn't conceal this eerie aura.

  He sucked in the blood clot, and the blood turned into a thin stream, automatically entering Shen Cong's fangs. A strange feeling filled his heart, and his whole body felt as if it was floating, an indescribable pleasure. Compared to the poisonous substance of his past life, this was like heaven and earth. Unconsciously, more than half of the blood clot had disappeared, and Shen Cong's absorption had reached its limit.

  Still savoring the aftertaste, he licked his lips, and this feeling was addictive. For the first time, such absorption made Shen Cong somewhat infatuated. The blood absorbed into the canine teeth was absorbed at the heart position, making the zombie's body even stronger. And the spiritual energy in the blood was absorbed by the dantian, allowing Shen Cong's cultivation to advance further towards the third stage of Tongli.

  "It's addictive, but in reality, it's a deviation from the right path. In the future, if not necessary, it's better not to take it." Shen thought to himself, feeling the changes within his body.

  Drinking blood seems to be a zombie's instinct, and it's also fascinating. But in reality, for cultivation improvement and physical enhancement, the effect is only slightly faster than normal cultivation. If there was no computer to change the time function, Shen Cong would have chosen this evil path for revenge. But now, with a wider road ahead, how could Shen Cong give up what's near and seek what's far?

  And sucking blood, it's easy to change one's nature, and doing things also easily becomes extreme, which is what Shen Cong dislikes. Unless there is the blood of a strong person above the sixth rank given to Shen Cong, or the blood of a powerful demon beast, otherwise the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.

  The physical pleasure slowly weakened, and the Dragon Bird Knife moved slightly, reabsorbing that small cluster of blood into its body. The knife's original broken position was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time the Dragon Bird Knife had completely absorbed the blood, it transmitted a feeling that it had become stronger by several degrees, with a subtle tendency to transform towards becoming a third-grade treasure.

  "Nowadays, the Longque knife is still too weak. It seems that later on, I'll have to find an opportunity to let the Longque knife drink plenty of blood in order to advance." Shen Cong thought to himself. However, this was not urgent for now, so he put the Longque knife aside and began his usual cultivation practice. Even without computer assistance, cultivation was something that couldn't be interrupted.

  Thirteen days later, Shen Cong came back under the Jade Maiden Peak again. What made Shen Cong feel helpless was that this place was packed with people once more, and there were even more people than last time. The various noises were almost deafening.

  People crowded together, wanting to go up Yu Nuofeng, had to squeeze through the middle. Shen Cong, even if he admitted that his strength was not ordinary, but also didn't have the ability to squeeze out a bloody road. Fortunately, it's still early now, and there's no hurry on this point. When the time comes, someone will come to pick us up. This time coming to Yu Nuofeng, although the main purpose is to recharge, can't mess up the things that Galebo ordered.

  "I heard that among the people who will be coming down to welcome us later, there might be a celestial maiden."

  "I've heard that, otherwise why would there be so many people here? It's all about getting a closer look. I've even heard that some people arrived last night to reserve their spots and it led to several fights."

  "Besides, we should have come earlier! Now it's really too far from the foot of that peak. Even if the fairy came, we wouldn't be able to see her very clearly."

  "Look at that fairy, what is she doing? Is it something we can even think about? Many of our senior brothers have boasted that they will take that fairy sister for themselves, but for us, it's already the most ideal situation to just find a random disciple from the Jade Maiden Peak."

  "Shixiong said that the other Jade Maiden Peak disciples are also very talented, and it's a great honor to find one and bring them out! However, it's usually impossible to get to Jade Maiden Peak, and even finding an ordinary female disciple is extremely difficult. Why didn't Master Luo, the leader of Jade Maiden Peak, celebrate her birthday grandly? If she had, we could have gone up the mountain too, so why are we in this pitiful state now?"

  "Shh, keep your voice down! Talking behind the back of a senior, do you want to be demoted in cultivation?" The person quickly covered his junior brother's mouth and glanced at Shen Cong's position with some vigilance.

  Shen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, originally just wanting to hear some news, yet now being made to be vigilant and resistant. He smiled at the person, indicating no ill intent, and walked to another side. Just from what he had heard earlier, although not of much use, it was still fun to listen to as a piece of gossip.

  Yu Nü Feng holds a special position in the Luoshui Sect, and ordinary disciples can't get close to it normally. The female disciples inside the peak are as beautiful as flowers, making people's hearts feel love. However, now they can only be admired from afar and cannot be trifled with, and even admiring from afar is difficult, leading to the sect's disciples becoming more and more infatuated. Things that can't be obtained sometimes make people want them even more, this is a common human nature.

  Found a quiet spot and sat down. Later, someone from the Jade Maiden Peak would definitely come to pick him up, and when the time came, he could naturally go up with an invitation card. Now it was not necessary to rush forward. Sitting idly, Shen Cong couldn't help but think of the previous few days when his second sister, Zhou Mengjuan, had heard that he was going to the Jade Maiden Peak and had become jealous, making Shen Cong laugh secretly.

  "Junior brother, you're indeed here. I was just thinking earlier if I could see you today, and unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I spotted you with one glance." A loud laughter echoed, and a figure walked over, who was none other than Pan Yue, the person he met under the Jade Maiden Peak that day.

  "So it's Shixiong, how have you been lately?" Shen Cong didn't smile, but instead recalled the scene from that day.

  "The weather is not good, and it's been many days since I've seen that fairy sister. In brother's world, only darkness remains. How can this be improved?" Pan Yue said with a sorrowful expression, "However, seeing younger brother today has greatly improved my mood. The heroic demeanor older brother showed that day, the scene of being crazy for love rather than seeking power, has been etched in older brother's heart, making me yearn for it deeply!"

  P.S: Collect, you know what I mean...
