Li Ye took out several pills and distributed them to everyone, saying, "These are cultivation pills that enhance your abilities. I have little use for them now, as I'm stuck at the Peak Foundation Establishment bottleneck, which cannot be resolved with pills. You all should take them to improve your cultivation. We will need your strength when facing Wei Chenghao and Liu Zhang."
The others did not hesitate and accepted the pills, sitting cross-legged to cultivate. Li Ye stood guard with three zombies to protect them.
Zhiruo was the first to finish her cultivation. Sitting cross-legged, she held the pill in her hands and gently pushed it, watching it slowly dissolve in her palms, transforming into a warm current that flowed into her body. As the energy coursed through her meridians, Zhiruo felt her internal spiritual power rapidly increase. Focused and undistracted, she steadily guided this power into her dantian, solidifying her realm at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. Zhiruo opened her eyes, feeling the abundant spiritual power within her. She smiled lightly and stood gently beside Li Ye, quietly waiting for the others to finish their cultivation.
Yan Yuchen followed closely behind. After taking the pill, she immediately felt a surge of immense spiritual power erupting within her. She quickly circulated her mind method, directing this energy throughout her meridians. As the spiritual power flowed within her, she felt it continuously accumulate and compress in her dantian until it broke through a bottleneck in an instant. Yan Yuchen closed her eyes tightly, carefully sensing the power after the breakthrough; her realm also stabilized at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. She opened her eyes with determination, as if filled with confidence for the future.
Chen Hu's cultivation was the most astonishing. After encountering Xiao Lian again in his past experiences, Chen Hu's mindset had greatly improved. After taking the pill, spiritual power surged into him like a flood. His muscles tensed all over, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he remained unwavering, supported by his strong will as he guided the spiritual power one by one. With each increase in strength, his realm broke through repeatedly, advancing from Qi Refinement Level Seven all the way to Qi Refinement Level Nine. Chen Hu opened his eyes, feeling the powerful force within him and revealing a confident smile.
After taking the pill, Liu Chengfeng felt pure spiritual power circulating within him. His cultivation process was relatively smooth; the spiritual power nourished his meridians like a gentle stream. He circulated his mind method and gradually directed the energy into his dantian. Although he did not achieve a breakthrough as remarkable as Chen Hu's, he successfully reached Qi Refinement Level Eight. Liu Chengfeng opened his eyes and saw Chen Hu's realm; he smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect to be one level lower than Brother Chen Hu."
After taking the pill, Su Yue crossed her hands over her dantian as the pill transformed into a warm current flowing within her body. Her dual blades excelled in agility and speed; under her guidance, the spiritual power swiftly and precisely pierced through her meridians like a blade's edge. As she accumulated more energy, her realm steadily improved until it finally settled at Qi Refinement Level Eight. Su Yue opened her eyes, sensing the changes within her body; a slight smile appeared on her lips as she felt satisfied with her progress.
Once everyone finished their cultivation, Mo Yun took out two outfits.
The first was a black fitted robe made of fabric as light as cicada wings that conformed to the body and outlined its graceful curves. The robe was adorned with ancient runes that shimmered with a faint golden light, as if whispering some ancient incantation. The collar and cuffs were embedded with ruby-like decorations that emitted an eerie glow. Wearing this outfit could conceal any trace of corpse energy and make one's skin appear smooth and delicate like that of a living person, though their eyes would still remain crimson.
The second was a deep purple short-skirt battle outfit with slightly flared hems that revealed long legs. The design of this battle outfit was bolder and more daring; it was cinched at the waist with a golden belt inscribed with runes. The fabric felt silky smooth against the skin and tightly wrapped around the body; every subtle movement appeared extremely alluring. The edges of the cuffs and hem were embroidered with golden threads that sparkled softly while also having an effect of concealing corpse energy.
Mo Yun handed these two outfits to Liu Fei and Specter; they accepted them and began changing clothes. As soon as the garments touched their bodies, the runes lit up immediately, releasing a soft glow. Soon after, a wave of black mist surged from the runes, enveloping both zombies.
As the black mist gradually dissipated, it revealed two evolved female zombies.
Liu Fei originally possessed an enchanting appearance, and now she is even more stunning. Her skin has become smoother and more delicate, resembling white jade with a faint sheen. Her features are more refined, her lips as red as cherries, and her eyes exude an irresistible allure. Her figure is even more voluptuous, with a full chest, a slender waist, and rounded hips that sway like a seductive dance, mesmerizing all who gaze upon her. Her eyes remain crimson but carry a deadly charm. Liu Fei's seductive abilities have greatly enhanced; anyone who makes eye contact with her finds it hard to resist her temptation, and a single smile can leave enemies entranced.
Specter has become more slender and elongated, her muscle lines smooth and powerful. Her skin has tightened, emanating a faint purple glow that hints at a mysterious aura. Although her features are cold, they are still beautiful, with her crimson eyes flashing with a ruthless light. Dressed in deep purple battle attire, she moves like a ghost in the night, making almost no sound as she walks. Her assassination skills have significantly improved; she can conceal her presence and move stealthily, appearing behind enemies in an instant to deliver a fatal blow. Her dual daggers are incredibly sharp, each strike as swift as a phantom, leaving no room for defense.
After Liu Fei and Specter donned these outfits, not only did their appearances become more alluring and mysterious, but their powers also saw substantial enhancement. Liu Fei's charm and control abilities grew stronger, while Specter's assassination and stealth capabilities became even more terrifying. Standing beside Li Ye, they resembled two exquisite deities of death.
Li Ye observed the improvements in everyone's cultivation and turned to Mo Yun, asking, "I've been stuck at Peak Foundation Establishment for too long; why haven't I made any breakthroughs?"
Mo Yun scrutinized Li Ye closely, circling around him to carefully assess his aura and condition. Suddenly, she bowed to Li Ye and asked, "May I inquire if I could examine your meridians?"
Li Ye had no objections and extended his right hand. Mo Yun gently took hold of his right hand, closed her eyes, and began to sense the flow of his Spiritual Energy within. After a moment, Mo Yun's heart jolted with surprise as she gazed at Li Ye in astonishment. "Master," she said, "in terms of physical strength, you are comparable to the young of fierce beasts; regarding your Spiritual Energy meridians, you are already on par with the peak of the Nascent Soul stage; yet your cultivation realm is indeed stuck at Peak Foundation Establishment. This shows that your life is filled with opportunities that cannot be measured by ordinary standards."
Li Ye frowned and asked, "So how do I break through this barrier?"
Mo Yun pondered for a moment before replying, "If you wish to break through this limitation, I believe you should first refine your body using Ancient Beast True Blood. Ancient Beast True Blood contains extremely powerful energy that can greatly enhance physical strength and cultivation. If you can withstand this refinement, I believe your realm will rise even higher."
Li Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, "Ancient Beast True Blood? That stuff is incredibly rare; do you know where to find it?"
Mo Yun smiled slightly and said, "Master, you are quite fortunate; there are some rare treasures in this storage bag, including several drops of Ancient Beast True Blood. These are all treasures accumulated from Void Night's past life."
As she spoke, Mo Yun took out a storage bag, gently opened it, and retrieved a crystal-clear vial containing several drops of deep red liquid that emitted strong waves of Spiritual Energy. She handed the vial to Li Ye and said, "Master, this is Ancient Beast True Blood. The usage is very simple; just drop it on your body and let it seep into your skin to begin the refinement."
