Chapter 842 Zombie World 18

Wencai was still diligently applying glutinous rice to remove the corpse poison to prevent himself from turning into a zombie, while Ruyi stayed by Wencai's side and studied the small ball of silver light that suddenly appeared in his dantian after he had just dealt with Old Master Ren.

"I didn't notice it before, but now I see there is a ball of this thing in my Dantian." Ruyi frowned slightly, looking at the silver ball of light in her Dantian with some suspicion, "What on earth is this thing?"

If Ruyi hadn't sensed any bad aura from the silver light ball, her attitude would have changed. "Do you want to try to absorb it?"

This scene is inexplicably similar to the ball of merit light that Ruyi picked up after killing female ghosts and demons in the world of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

After thinking for a few seconds, Ruyi decided to do it. Anyway, she was very lucky and was not afraid of even the thunder. She immediately calmed down, sat down cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and began to look inward at her dantian to absorb the silver light.

When Qiu Sheng and Uncle Jiu returned to the charity cemetery, Ruyi had just absorbed and refined the silver light ball. As soon as she refined the light ball, Ruyi immediately knew the essence of the silver light ball. The silver light ball, like the golden light ball, was the power of merit, but unlike the golden light ball, which belonged to Yang virtue, the silver light ball belonged to Yin virtue.

As for why the merit of killing ghosts in the world of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is Yang De, while the merit of killing zombies in the zombie world is Yin De, Ruyi herself does not know. She guesses that this may only be related to the rules of different worlds. However, for Ruyi, in essence, both Yang De and Yin De are merits, which can allow her to absorb, refine and restore her cultivation.

"Wencai, Wencai, where are you?"

As soon as Qiu Sheng came back, he ran to the yard. When he left, Wencai was still lying in the yard.

It was only after arriving at the yard that Qiu Sheng discovered that only the body of Old Master Ren was still lying on the ground in the yard, while Wencai, who was originally lying there, was gone.

"Master, Wencai is missing!"

"Let's go, they should be in the morgue." Uncle Jiu sensed some movement in the morgue as soon as he came back, so he was not as worried as Qiu Sheng.

Arriving at the morgue, Wencai was indeed inside. Jiushu and Qiusheng looked again and saw Ruyi was there too. Looking at the sticky rice beside Wencai, Jiushu nodded with a hint of satisfaction, "Not bad, you even knew how to use sticky rice to remove the corpse poison and prevent it from really entering your heart. It seems like you finally remember some of the things I taught you on weekdays."

"Hehe." Wencai scratched his head awkwardly, not having the courage to say that the glutinous rice was prepared for him by Ruyi.

Seeing that Wencai's condition was not urgent, Uncle Jiu immediately returned to the room and took out the snake medicine and fed it to Wencai, "Okay, after you drink this snake medicine, drink a few more bowls of glutinous rice porridge, and have a good rest for two days, you should be fine."

"Qiu Sheng, go help Wen Cai untie the rope."

"Yes, Master." Qiu Sheng obediently went to help Wencai untie the rope.

After finishing Wencai's work, Uncle Jiu finally had time to check on Ruyi. When he came in just now, Uncle Jiu noticed that Ruyi was meditating and practicing, but he didn't look for Ruyi for fear of disturbing her. Now that he saw Ruyi finished her work and opened her eyes, Uncle Jiu came to Ruyi and bowed sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Ruyi, thank you very much for this time."

"If it weren't for you, my two disciples would have been in great danger today."

Uncle Jiu did not expect that the zombie transformed by Old Master Ren would be more intelligent than ordinary zombies. He was not only cunning but also vengeful. Because of his misjudgment, Qiu Sheng and Wencai were almost killed by zombies.

"Uncle Jiu, you're welcome." Ruyi did not dodge. With her status, it was just a bow, which she could fully bear. If she dodged, it would only make Uncle Jiu feel bad, which was unnecessary.

Ruyi's face was full of smiles, and she was obviously in a good mood. Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Thinking of the momentum he had sensed from Ruyi when she was finishing work just now, he immediately understood something. He asked curiously, "Ruyi, you were practicing just now. Are your meridians healed?"

When this matter was mentioned, the smile on Ruyi's face became more obvious. She smiled and replied to Uncle Jiu: "Yes, I can practice now."

The ball of silver light just now seemed small, but after absorbing and refining it all, Ruyi's cultivation level suddenly increased a lot, and he rose from the foundation building to the third small realm of refining essence into qi. In other words, according to the classification of the zombie world, Ruyi is now a high-level sorcerer, and he is only one step away from becoming a human teacher.

"That's great. I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Ruyi." Uncle Jiu did not ask how Ruyi recovered, nor did he ask what method Ruyi used to get rid of the zombie, because these involved Ruyi's privacy, and Uncle Jiu was not in a position to ask.

But there was one thing that Uncle Jiu was really curious about, and that was what the golden light that Qiu Sheng had mentioned before was. So Ruyi saw that Uncle Jiu did not leave after congratulating her, but just looked at her with a strange look as if he wanted to ask something but was too embarrassed to ask.

"Hmm?" Ruyi felt uncomfortable being looked at by Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, do you have anything else to say?"

"Ah, that, that is, Qiu Sheng said, that..." Uncle Jiu was confused.

"Uncle Jiu, just ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you whatever I can." Ruyi was helpless, implying that if she couldn't tell you, she wouldn't tell him.

"Ah, I heard from Qiu Sheng that you used a golden light to turn Old Master Ren from a zombie back into a corpse. I just want to know what that golden light was?" After thinking for a moment, and fearing that Ruyi might misunderstand, Uncle Jiu quickly added, "If it's some secret method, you don't have to tell me."

"It's not a secret method." Ruyi thought about it and realized there was nothing she couldn't say, so she told Uncle Jiu, "It's the light of merit."

"What?" Uncle Jiu thought he had heard wrongly.

"I said that it is not some secret method, it is the light of merit. Of course, you can also call it the golden light of merit. In short, call it whatever you want." Ruyi explained it again patiently.

Uncle Jiu’s eyes opened wide, almost popping out of their sockets, “Golden Light of Merit!” He knew these four words separately, but why couldn’t he understand them as a whole? The Golden Light of Merit is not just something that can only protect people with merit from evil spirits. When did the Golden Light of Merit turn zombies back?

And why is there a golden light of merit on Ruyi's body? Can't those who practice cultivation only earn more Yin virtue? The golden light of merit is Yang virtue!

Uncle Jiu bit his fingertip in desperation, used a secret method to open his third eye and took a look at Ruyi. Just this one look made Uncle Jiu's eyes turn red. If he hadn't closed them in time, he would have been almost blinded.

"How can there be such profound merits? It's like being a good person for ten lifetimes, no, a hundred lifetimes, a thousand lifetimes. With this merit, could it be that Ruyi in his previous life saved the people of the world?"

"No wonder she was able to cultivate to the state of refining spirit and transforming into emptiness at such a young age in the Dharma Ending Age. With so many merits, she was destined to become an immortal. I think the reason why Ruyi was struck by thunder and sent to this world is probably because the world she was in was no longer suitable for becoming an immortal. The Heavenly Dao seemed to have expelled her, but in fact it had found a new way for her to become an immortal."

Ruyi said nothing. Uncle Jiu had already thought through everything for Ruyi. Although most of Uncle Jiu's guesses were wrong, there was one part that was right, which was that the reason why Ruyi could not break through the thunder tribulation was because the world she was in at that time could no longer become a saint.
