While surprised, I did not relax my own cultivation.
After all, my own Taoist cultivation was still too weak.
It was fine having my Master by my side, but if he weren't around.
If one day I had to face those dirty things alone.
Especially in large numbers, my current cultivation would be insufficient.
Now, improving my Taoist cultivation was my only pursuit.
At the same time, I also wanted to reach the Soul Palace realm as soon as possible to see Qing Dai's true appearance.
This day passed quickly.
It was not until evening that I finally relaxed.
My Dantian was filled with spiritual energy, and my whole body was brimming with strength.
Because of the zombie I killed last night.
The color of the Ghost Longevity Money had turned from black to purple.
Looking at this color, the lamp oil reserve must have been at least four months, right?
I guessed to myself, but it was hard to be certain.
As it stood, the lamp oil I had stored.
It would allow me to not run out of lamp oil and suffer a burnout that would lead to death, at least for a short period.
In the evening, I ate some instant dumplings.
After watching television for a while, I waited for the night to fall.
Because I planned to give the Zombie Dan to Qing Dai tonight.
The wait felt very long.
Especially when waiting for someone you wanted to see, time seemed to pass even slower.
Finally, after enduring until ten o'clock.
I quickly opened the window and lit three incense sticks in the room.
I took out the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant that Qing Dai had given me.
Holding it in my hand, it was cool to the touch.
Taking a deep breath, I called out towards the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant:
"Qing Dai..."
My voice was not loud, but it was very serious.
My heart was also filled with a bit of nervousness and trepidation.
As soon as I called out.
The Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant in my hand changed.
Immediately, I felt a wave of coldness.
The jade pendant became extremely cold.
Then, a gust of Yin wind blew in from outside the window.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The blue smoke rising from the incense sticks was constantly blown away...
Watching this, I felt a little excited.
I assumed Qing Dai had heard me calling her.
However, Qing Dai still did not appear.
After waiting for a minute, I called out again:
"Qing Dai!"
When I called out the second time.
The Yin wind became even stronger.
It swept through the room with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.
Besides becoming even colder, the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant in my hand actually turned red.
It quickly turned red, as if stained with blood.
But Qing Dai still did not appear.
I frowned.
And called out again:
"Qing Dai!"
And as I called out for the third time.
The jade pendant in my hand suddenly flashed.
A burst of white mist emerged.
The white mist billowed and condensed directly in front of me.
Watching this, my breathing quickened.
And the condensing white mist began to transform into a human shape at a visible speed.
Finally, a cold wind swept through, and the white mist dissipated.
A tall woman wearing a black dress.
With a black mask that couldn't conceal her ethereal temperament, and long hair, appeared before my eyes.
It was none other than the female ghost Qing Dai who had protected me for twenty years.
"Qing Dai!"
I called out excitedly.
Qing Dai's beautiful eyes flickered, and she seemed to smile:
"Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"
Qing Dai's voice was pleasant, giving the feeling of a gentle breeze.
"Well, I have something to give you."
I said with a smile, unable to hide my excitement.
Facing Qing Dai, I always felt a little nervous.
Qing Dai tilted her head, curiously asking:
"What is it?"
I quickly took out the Zombie Dan wrapped in talismans.
Tearing off the talismans, I said:
"This!"
Qing Dai glanced at it, and there was a clear hint of surprise in her eyes:
"Zombie core."
"Hehehe!
Yes, this should be useful to you.
So I prepared it for you."
I handed over the Zombie Dan in my hand directly.
Qing Dai, however, looked very surprised, her beautiful eyes looking at me:
"Qin Ze, where did you find this?"
"Hehehe!
Last night, my Master and I went out and killed a zombie. It was inside its body.
Thank you for these twenty years.
Master said this would be useful for you, so please take it!"
I said with a smile.
But Qing Dai gazed at me, looking at the new scars on the back of my hand and my face.
There was a hint of emotion in her beautiful eyes.
Although I couldn't see her entire facial expression, I knew.
She was definitely moved by my actions.
"This, this is too precious."
Qing Dai hesitated.
It was precious to her, but currently had no practical value to me.
Seeing that she was hesitant to reach out, I took a step forward and actively took her slightly cold hand:
"Take it!"
Qing Dai's body trembled slightly, and she looked at me with emotion.
But I didn't pay attention, just stuffed the Zombie Dan into her hand.
Holding the Zombie Dan I gave her, Qing Dai said to me with great excitement:
"Thank you."
"It's a small thing. It's useless to us.
If I encounter zombies again in the future, I'll dig a few more out for you."
I said teasingly.
Qing Dai, however, let out a "pfft" and burst into laughter:
"This is a Zombie Dan, only a hundred-year-old zombie can condense one.
Where would I dig out a few more?"
I scratched my head:
"Hahaha, I'll try to encounter a few more."
The atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
And Qing Dai looked at the Zombie Dan in her hand with surprise:
"With this Zombie Dan, my injuries should be able to recover a lot."
Upon hearing this, my smiling face instantly froze.
My heart gave a "thump."
With a look of surprise, I asked:
"Qing Dai, are you injured? Who injured you?"
Qing Dai, however, said nonchalantly:
"It's been a while.
As for who injured me.
It was the Black and White Impermanence who chased me last time we met..."
