After learning Electrolux's method, Lin Xiao made up his mind: he would elevate this plane into a complete world.

At present, the Undead Demiplane held only the undead. Beyond them, there was nothing but solitude.

Electrolux glanced at the throne in the center.

"Xiao Xiaozi, this demiplane will be yours from now on."

Electrolux reached out and lightly tapped Lin Xiao between the brows, sending a profoundly mysterious stream of energy into his mind.

That terrifying energy instantly enveloped Lin Xiao's brain, flooding it with an immense amount of information.

Lin Xiao passed out at once.

"Elder Yi, is Xiao Xiaozi all right?"

Ice Empress floated over to Lin Xiao and circled him. He was still alive.

"Don't worry. I passed some low-level Necromancy Magic on to him. He's receiving the inheritance now. He'll be fine once he wakes up."

Electrolux slowly walked up to the throne, glanced back at his surroundings, then sat down.

Gently stroking the throne's armrest, Electrolux sank into his memories, returning for a moment to those bygone days.

"I wonder how Hao Chen is doing..."

Electrolux murmured softly, recalling everything that had happened back then.

Only when Lin Xiao woke and looked at him did Electrolux smile and step down from the throne.

"Well? Did you understand it?"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. "Teacher, I still need practice. I've only grasped the basics."

He had only just received the inheritance. Actually using it would still be rather difficult.

Electrolux said, "When you cast Necromancy Magic with dou qi, it will be far more powerful than when you use soul power."

"Teacher, have you started focusing on cultivating dou qi?"

Lin Xiao asked curiously. Otherwise, how would Electrolux know that casting Necromancy Magic with dou qi made it stronger?

Electrolux smiled and shook his head. "Not at all. I merely borrowed the dou qi inside the ring to cast a few simple spells and discovered this."

So that was it. Lin Xiao had thought Electrolux was cultivating dou qi alongside Old Medicine.

Actually, that was perfectly feasible. He could certainly cultivate dou qi. Once he obtained a body later on, dou qi would undoubtedly be his best choice.

"All right, go on up. From now on, you're the master of this plane."

"I passed the method for opening it on to you just now, too."

With a faint smile and a gentle push from Electrolux, Lin Xiao flew straight to the throne. Without making a fuss, he sat down.

Lin Xiao felt no change whatsoever.

"Teacher, nothing's changed." Lin Xiao scratched his head. It was just an ordinary chair.

"It was an ordinary throne to begin with."

"I had you sit on it so you would understand that you still need to work hard if you want to reach the summit."

Electrolux gently stroked Ice Empress in his arms as he spoke with a smile.

Lin Xiao laughed too. Wasn't a throne's significance bestowed upon it by people? Sitting in this chair would only mean something once he grew strong. Otherwise, it was merely a throne.

Lin Xiao stepped down without the slightest reluctance to leave the throne behind.

"Teacher, how are those immortal herbs?"

With the matter of this plane settled, it was time for him to improve his strength.

"Those immortal herbs are asleep under Chen Ge's soul power. It'll take at least a few months for them to awaken."

"If you want to use those immortal herbs, it's best to have Chen Ge refine them into medicinal pills for you."

"Oh, and there's this."

As he spoke, Electrolux took out a book. It was none other than the Poison Scripture Tang San had left behind.

Lin Xiao flipped through it. This thing isn't much use.

With Old Medicine around, the Poison Scripture was like chicken ribs-hardly worth keeping, yet a pity to discard. Besides, he had already memorized it just now, so whether he kept it no longer mattered.

Those hidden weapons were also far inferior to soul tools. As he pondered this, a good idea came to Lin Xiao unbidden. What would happen if I spread this thing around?

But that idea would have to wait until he had relocated the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Otherwise, retrieving the dragon bones would be difficult.

Seeing this, Electrolux said nothing more. The boy had his own ideas.

"Teacher, can we transplant the immortal herbs into this plane?"

He looked around. This was another world. If they transplanted the immortal herbs here, they could improve its environment and bring vitality into this plane.

After some thought, Electrolux said, "Not really. If we moved that red-and-blue lake here, though, we could plant them."

Lin Xiao looked a little disappointed. Some fellow might be guarding the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well right now. He wouldn't be able to obtain it anytime soon.

The Undead Demiplane was ultimately a world of the undead. For now, vitality did not exist here. This was a paradise for the undead, not a heaven for the living.

And so, Lin Xiao practiced Necromancy Magic in this demiplane while cultivating both soul power and dou qi. Every day was fulfilling.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xiao gently raised his hand, extended a finger, and drew a circle before him, opening a spatial doorway.

Lin Xiao stepped through. Breathing fresh air once again, he immediately felt refreshed.

Over the past month, Lin Xiao had felt terribly stifled. He had no idea how Old Medicine had endured spending so long alone inside the ring.

Just thinking about it was miserable.

After leaving his room, Lin Xiao sought out Du Busi again.

"Xiao, perfect timing. I've bought that List Engraving Knife you wanted."

Du Busi hadn't seen Lin Xiao for a month and had been rather worried. Fortunately, nothing had happened to him.

As Lin Xiao accepted the List Engraving Knife, a vicious, baleful aura surged out. Inside the ring, Electrolux clicked his tongue twice. "What a criminal waste of a treasure!"

"Perfectly good spirit gold, refined into something like this."

Lin Xiao said little in response to Electrolux's words. If it hadn't been treated this way, how could he have picked up such a bargain?

Perhaps this was fate.

"Teacher, thank you on behalf of my other teacher."

Lin Xiao's gratitude was heartfelt. Without Du Busi, his only option would have been to steal the List Engraving Knife.

He had no money.

Du Busi waved a dismissive hand. "We're all family. There's no need for such formalities. I'm still waiting to break through to level 99."

Lin Xiao smiled. He really had been overly formal.

After bidding Du Busi farewell, Lin Xiao returned to his room and handed the List Engraving Knife straight to Electrolux.

Under Electrolux's powerful purification, the List Engraving Knife was cleansed, and he extracted a piece of spirit gold from it.

"Xiao Xiaozi, waking Chen Ge only requires half. I'll use the other half to open up your Sea of Consciousness."

Delight lit up Lin Xiao's face, and he immediately sat cross-legged.

Electrolux infused half the spirit gold into Old Medicine's soul, drawing dou qi into it.

Once that was done, Electrolux appeared beside Lin Xiao, holding the other half of the spirit gold.

As Electrolux's energy surged, an aura brimming with life enveloped Lin Xiao.

The immense spirit power threatened to tear Lin Xiao's mind apart. Cold sweat kept beading on his forehead. Gritting his teeth, he endured the tremendous pain.

Electrolux worked little by little, then vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already inside Lin Xiao's Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Xiao's Sea of Consciousness was torn apart and reforged over and over, the two processes repeating in an endless cycle...

Through this process, Lin Xiao's Sea of Consciousness was opened up and expanded, little by little.
