Amusing Incidents En Route (Seeking Follow-ups!)

During the monotonous journey, over a month had already passed.

On the back of the Flying Magical Beast soaring high in the sky, a resting area was provided.

The area was divided into small rooms. Although cramped, they at least offered a personal space for rest.

Lin Ze sat cross-legged on the bed in his small room. As the Flying Magical Beast flew, wind-attribute energy gathered and filled the room.

This allowed Lin Ze's cultivation to proceed smoothly.

Places like this, rich in energy, could yield twice the results with half the effort for cultivators of specific attributes.

After cultivating for a period, Lin Ze quickly stabilized his Three Star Dou Practitioner realm and was slowly advancing towards Four Star Dou Practitioner.

As time went by, the faint cyan Dou Qi surrounding Lin Ze gradually dissipated.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

As if by telepathy, the door was gently knocked.

To minimize accidents and unexpected events, Instructor Ruo Lin had advised all students.

Unless absolutely necessary, they should try to stay in their own rooms.

Therefore, instances of visiting each other like this were quite rare.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Yi Xian poked her small head in furtively.

Meeting Lin Ze's gaze, Xiao Yi Xian chuckled.

"Lin Ze, I'm here again."

"You've been coming rather frequently lately."

"I can't help it~"

Xiao Yi Xian said in a soft voice, with a hint of pleading.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian like this, Lin Ze sighed slightly and beckoned her over.

Only then did Xiao Yi Xian walk in with relief, close the door tightly, and approach Lin Ze.

Lin Ze took out a Storage Ring from his embrace, and from it, produced a small jade bottle and a sheet of white paper.

He poured a fingernail-sized amount of powder from the small jade bottle onto the paper, then handed the paper to Xiao Yi Xian.

Upon seeing the powder, Xiao Yi Xian swallowed hard, as if the powder were not poison but some supreme delicacy.

The reason for this was Xiao Yi Xian's initial request.

Xiao Yi Xian asked Lin Ze to supervise her, so she wouldn't overdose on the poison.

For this purpose, Xiao Yi Xian also handed over her storage ring to Lin Ze for safekeeping.

Inside the storage ring were the medicinal materials Xiao Yi Xian had collected and her pharmaceutical tools.

Without these items, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't conjure up poison out of thin air.

Lin Ze agreed to Xiao Yi Xian's request and steadfastly followed the dosage plan they had agreed upon.

Xiao Yi Xian swallowed again, her crystal clear tender red lips pursed slightly as she looked at Lin Ze expectantly.

"Lin Ze, I feel like I'm about to break through to Dou Practitioner. Can I have a little more?"

Lin Ze frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Yi Xian, and stroked his chin.

"Cultivation still needs to be gradual. Forcing a breakthrough, while making you powerful for a moment, might damage your foundation."

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes dimmed slightly, but she didn't push further. She just nodded silently.

"However, since you're close to a breakthrough, the amount of poison you take can indeed be increased a little during this period."

"Of course, don't think about forcefully breaking through by taking an overdose of poison all at once!"

Lin Ze's expression became extremely serious as he said the latter part.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. She wouldn't gamble with her future.

On the Dou Qi Continent, too many people had sacrificed their future for temporary power.

She still wanted to go further on the path of the strong.

The stronger she became, the more likely she was to find or create a perfect method to control the Woeful Poison Body.

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had taken his words to heart, Lin Ze took back the white paper and poured a fingernail-sized amount of powder onto it.

Xiao Yi Xian took the white paper and poured it directly into her tender red lips.

Finally, she used Dou Qi to vibrate the paper, cleaning off any remaining powder.

Lastly, Xiao Yi Xian licked her red lips with her soft tongue, unwilling to miss even a tiny bit of the poison powder.

After taking the poison, Xiao Yi Xian nodded to Lin Ze, then climbed to the other side of the bed, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

Lin Ze observed Xiao Yi Xian's expression. Seeing that her complexion was normal and she didn't exhibit the weird colorfulness that appeared when she overdosed on poison in the original work, he knew that the small amount of poison powder was still within her tolerance.

Since Xiao Yi Xian had entered her cultivation state, Lin Ze didn't cultivate either and just watched from the side.

At the same time, he controlled the death soldiers and checked the situation in Wutan City.

Over a month passed, and Lin Ze's death soldiers had now surged to over 300.

The number of Blue Rare Death Soldiers had reached thirty. With the resonance function alone from these rare death soldiers, Lin Ze could gain a 3% Cultivation Speed Bonus.

Adding the other death soldiers, Lin Ze now had a 6% Cultivation Speed Bonus.

The newly projected Blue Rare Death Soldiers also possessed mostly different skills.

Beast Taming, Leatherworking, Archery, Spearmanship, Planting, Brewing...

With enough samples, Lin Ze was also surprised to discover that the death soldiers' skills were not all related to business. Some were combat-oriented.

Previously, they all had skills leaning towards business and life management, such as Merchantry and Hunting.

Now, there were finally combat skills like Archery and Spearmanship.

Because of this, Lin Ze would sometimes fully control the death soldiers who possessed combat-related skills.

Once they reached Proficient Grade, they generally developed instinctive techniques.

Under full control, Lin Ze could also feel the power of these techniques.

Lin Ze didn't plan to specialize in archery or spearmanship, but he could use this to familiarize himself with both weapons.

In the future, when facing corresponding enemies, he would be able to handle the situation more calmly.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles.

Combat experience is accumulated bit by bit, not conjured out of thin air.

A total of over 300 death soldiers, with ten stationed in Qingshan Town to gather intelligence, the rest were all deployed to Wutan City.

With such a number of death soldiers, they were enough to infiltrate all walks of life in Wutan City.

However, the death soldiers' strength was low. Except for those death soldiers who ran their own shops, the death soldiers who infiltrated other industries were mostly at the bottom.

Lin Ze also felt a bit helpless about this. After all, the Dou Qi Continent was a world where the strong were respected. Only by possessing strength could one escape the bottom rungs.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Ze's current daily net income of Flesh Essence has stabilized at 150 units.

After deducting the expenses for running shops and the consumption of the death soldiers themselves, Lin Ze was quite satisfied with this stable number.

Assuming a First Order Magical Beast yields an average of five units of Flesh Essence, this is equivalent to hunting thirty First Order Magical Beasts daily.

Even if Lin Ze sent all his death soldiers to hunt magical beasts, his daily net harvest might not reach this amount.

After all, Death Soldiers also need Flesh Essence to recover when injured.

Coupled with the uncertainty of Hunting Magical Beasts.

The net income of Flesh Essence from this back and forth might actually be less than running a shop.

The daily income of 150 units of Flesh Essence had basically stabilized.

After all, although Wutan City had many Mercenaries Hunting Magical Beasts, Lin Ze was not the only one who needed Magical Beast Meat.

Other forces also needed Magical Beast Meat, and Lin Ze's current Death Soldier strength was not enough to snatch food from the mouths of other forces.

As for going to other cities or Magical Beast Towns, neither was an excellent choice.

Other cities were not close to the treasure trove of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Magical Beast Towns, on the other hand, were rife with chaos, and operating there would easily lead to losing all his Death Soldiers.

The current stock of Flesh Essence had reached over 7000. In another twenty-odd days, another function could be unlocked.

Lin Ze was quite satisfied with this speed.
