Chapter 363 Contrast
Chapter 363 Contrast
After arranging for Ning Shuang to stay in the immortal boat, Zhao Mu left her alone for the time being.
She didn't know that her identity had been exposed. Zhao Mu had the upper hand now. As long as she stayed, Zhao Mu would have a chance.
Compared with Fairy Ning Hua, Zhao Mu was more concerned about Bai Lu.
The Human Emperor's bloodline in her would be of practical help to Zhao Mu.
The most important thing now was to increase her favorability.
But to be honest, Zhao Mu had encountered setbacks in the past two days.
He had taken care of Bai Lu a lot and given her a lot of things, but her favorability barely increased.
Not only that, the girl seemed to be wary of Zhao Mu.
It seemed that Zhao Mu's pure yang charm didn't have any effect on her.
That made sense. After all, she was a descendant of the Human Emperor. It wouldn't be so easy to win her over.
But it wasn't a problem for Zhao Mu.
Bai Lu wasn't old. She had been an orphan since she was young. Although she was a little closed-minded because she had been wandering outside for many years, she was still a little girl. As long as Zhao Mu found out what she liked, it would be easy for him to deal with her.
That day, Zhao Mu sent Jin Fei to spy on Bai Lu in secret and investigate her interests and hobbies.
After a few days of investigation, Jin Fei finally found out what Bai Lu liked and brought back the information.
After hearing that, Zhao Mu's expression turned subtle.
"Are you sure that Bai Lu has such a special hobby?" Zhao Mu still found it hard to believe.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Bai Lu killed the spirit beasts she brought back from the valley of spirit beasts and refined them into zombie beasts. According to my observations, she's very proficient in refining zombies. It's definitely not her first time doing this."
She liked refining zombies …
Zhao Mu was lost for words. He never thought that Bai Lu would have such a special hobby.
This girl looked very heroic and had the demeanor of a heroine, but she was deeply interested in corpse techniques. What a contrast.
"But in my opinion, Bai Lu's corpse refining techniques aren't very advanced. They're probably just ordinary secret techniques. If you want to cater to her interests, you can collect some high-level corpse refining techniques and give them to her."
"Wouldn't that expose the fact that I was spying on her?" Zhao Mu frowned slightly.
Jin Fei said, "It's fine. We have the initiative now. We just need to scare Bailu a little. She's still young, after all. She'll definitely panic. When she's filled with fear, we'll forgive her and even support her. It'll be easy to subdue her."
Damn, the older, the wiser.
After careful consideration, Zhao Mu decided to follow Jin Fei's suggestion.
In order to quickly conquer Bai Lu, he had to use some tricks.
"I'll go search for some corpse refining techniques."
"No need, I'm ready."
Jin Fei immediately took out a stack of cultivation technique manuals and handed them to Zhao Mu.
He said stiffly.
Corpse Immortal Secret Records.
The Book of the Dead.
…
They were all high-level corpse refining techniques, and there were more than a hundred of them.
"I copied this from the Iron Man's database. This type of cultivation technique is quite common in the Great Thousand World, so it's quite easy to obtain," Jin Fei explained.
She had even prepared the cultivation technique in advance. Why did it feel like Jin Fei was more anxious to conquer Bai Lu than he was?
"Okay, let's go now."
"There's no hurry. Later, when Bai Lu is refining zombies, we'll catch her in the act. It'll be more effective."
"You're really naughty."
Zhao Mu was amused.
Jin Fei smiled modestly.
There was still some time before the sky turned dark. Zhao Mu moved to the weapon workshop and prepared to build a large smelting furnace to refine various ores and materials.
Previously, he had obtained many rare ores from the large spirit vein. However, there was a problem with refining them.
These ores were too hard and ordinary flames could not melt them at all.
Fortunately, Zhao Mu was an array master. He specially designed a new smelting furnace. Through the array, it could compress the flames and increase the temperature of the smelting furnace greatly.
After working for half a day, Zhao Mu finally finished the smelting furnace.
He threw the rare spirit ores into the smelting furnace and handed it over to someone to watch over. Zhao Mu left after completing his task.
The night was dark and the wind was strong. It was already the latter half of the night.
The cave abode that Bai Lu lived in was brightly lit.
A furry three-eyed spirit monkey wobbled towards Bai Lu.
The spirit monkey was rather intelligent. It knew that the human girl before it had adopted it. From now on, it would serve her. Naturally, it had to please her so that it would have a chance to be treated well.
However, just as the spirit monkey approached Bai Lu, Bai Lu slowly raised a sharp skinning knife.
Unlike her calm and indifferent expression during the day, Bai Lu revealed a sinister and sinister smile. There seemed to be a gray fog churning in her palm, and a thick aura of death flowed out.
"It's all thanks to Zhao Mu who gave me this cave abode that I have the chance to continue cultivating the Zombie Transformation Technique. However, it's a pity that there are many requirements to adopt a spirit beast. I've been picking spirit beasts every day and have already attracted attention. Next, I might have to take the risk and enter the Thousand Demon Forest to search for targets myself."
Bai Lu licked her slightly purple lips and walked towards the three-eyed spirit monkey step by step with the knife. She grabbed the spirit monkey's neck.
The spirit monkey instinctively sensed danger and struggled with all its might.
Bai Lu's cultivation was not high and the spirit monkey almost succeeded in breaking free.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past.
A skinless spirit cat appeared and stepped on the spirit monkey harshly, immobilizing it.
"Good boy, that's great."
Bai Lu's face lit up as she stroked the skinless cat's head.
This was the spirit beast zombie that she had refined yesterday. Because she had branded it with her soul brand, it was extremely loyal to Bai Lu. It was like a death warrior.
However, this was far from enough.
Bai Lu had a bold idea in her heart.
She wanted to refine all the living beings on the Immortal Martial Continent into her zombie babies.
There were many detestable people in the world. Only zombies who obeyed and were absolutely loyal to him had the right to live in this world.
There was no need for anything other than zombies to exist!
"This lady … is really a little crazy."
In the dark, Zhao Mu was hiding in Jin Fei's void space and spying on Bai Lu.
Although he couldn't read Bai Lu's mind, Zhao Mu could tell from her fanatical eyes that the girl's thoughts must be extreme and terrifying.
The contrast was a little too big.
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"Son-in-law, we can move now."
Zhao Mu nodded.
He leaped out of the void and appeared behind Bai Lu.
Bai Lu's cultivation level was not high and her divine senses were not sharp enough. Naturally, she did not discover Zhao Mu's sudden appearance. She was still immersed in her own world. She slowly raised the sharp skinning knife and pinched the spirit monkey's neck, exposing the back of its neck. The sharp skinning knife was slowly pushed at a slanted angle.
The life that was about to be harvested had its heart beating wildly and its entire body trembling.
Bai Lu's eyes changed in excitement. Her face flushed, and she breathed heavily.
"Don't be afraid. The pain is very short. When you are refined into a zombie by me, pain and death will leave you forever. You will follow me to the hall of the dead with eternal life!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind Bai Lu.
"Eternal life created with death. Is that true eternal life?"
