A year's time

　　The moon was dark and the wind was high.

　　A spirit deer don't want to die generally crazy running, agile figure, arrow-like speed.

　　The thorny jungle was its best cover, scurrying back and forth, in less than an incense stick of time, it had completely thrown off the two hunters behind it.

　　Hoo hoo!

　　The Spirit Deer gasped for air and slowly slowed down, enjoying the aftermath of this robbery.

　　Gradually, it began to calm down, and while walking, it also ate a few mouthfuls of grass by the roadside.

　　Suddenly, "Thunk!"

　　A soft sound like footsteps in the bushes by the roadside caused the Spirit Deer to be alerted.

　　Looking up, under the effect of the gusty wind, the surrounding bushes were all waving vigorously, unable to see any difference.

　　However, the naturally cautious Spirit Deer still decided to leave this place in a hurry. Although there was no danger to be seen, this place always gave it an eerie feeling, which made it very uncomfortable as it naturally liked places with abundant spiritual energy.

　　The Spirit Deer spread its hooves and was about to flee.

　　Whew!

　　A black shadow pounced on it head on.

　　The timing chosen by the black shadow was very good. The four hooves of the Spirit Deer had just left the ground, the muscles on its legs unfolded, its force was exhausted, and it was simply impossible to change direction.

　　Puff!

　　Sharp, pitch-black claws snapped directly into the toned muscles of the Spirit Deer's back, and the two palms swooped over, pressing the Spirit Deer to the ground in one fell swoop.

　　The enormous force gave the Spirit Deer a feeling like it was being pressed by a small mountain, and no matter how miserably it howled and struggled, its body did not move at all.

　　This figure, naturally is Edmund undoubtedly.

　　Looking at the oozing blood, Edmund's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light, opened his hideous mouth, and his sharp teeth bit down towards the Spirit Deer's neck.

　　The hot blood spurted directly into Edmund's throat. This was the most most delicious food for Edmund.

　　A look of enjoyment immediately appeared on Edmund's hideous face. At the same time, he secretly operated the Dharma Decree of the Sorcerer's Canon of Truth and Wonders, turning the essence blood into a stream of hot water; and guiding this stream of hot water towards the two large oceans in his body.

　　Buzz--

　　Stimulated by the heat flow, the large qi cyclone in the abdominal cavity and the two small qi cyclones in the chest cavity immediately rotated at high speeds, generating a huge suction force.

　　As if a long dragon was sucking in water, the essence blood in the Spirit Deer's body began to madly surge towards Edmund's body.

　　Seeing that almost half of it had been absorbed, under Edmund's intentional guidance, the speed of the three cyclones rotating gradually slowed down.

　　Edmund loosened his mouth and threw the already dead spirit deer aside.

　　The entire process was like flowing clouds and water, skillful and incomparable in appearance.

　　"Haha! Finally being able to retract and release freely, I no longer have to worry about being burst by yin power one day!"

　　Now, more than a year had passed since Edmund had occupied the Yin Spring Cave.

　　During this year, Edmund spent most of his time hiding in the cave, painstakingly studying the several secret books, "Witch True Wonderful Codex," "Maoshan Intensive," and "Rune Practicing Treasure Codex.

　　In a short period of time, he determined that the reason why he always lost control of his body when absorbing huge yin qi or essence blood was not because of an error in his cultivation technique, but because he advanced too quickly and his foundation was unstable.

　　According to the average level of human cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, the time required for a person with medium spiritual roots to advance to the Qi Refining Stage is three months, and after that, the average time used to advance from the first level of the Qi Refining Stage to the second level, the third level, and all the way up to the ninth level is six months, one year, three years, five years, eight years, twenty years, thirty years, and thirty-five years, respectively....

　　This is only the average time counted by good people, all cultivators because of the different qualifications, coupled with the different cultivation resources obtained, the difference in the time required is also relatively large.

　　However, in general, those who can double the average time than this average time, even if it is the major mountain gate recognized genius characters.

　　Zombies, because of the limitations in all aspects, advancement time was more than twice as slow as this average.

　　In other words, the average zombie would need to spend 6 months + 1 year + 2 years + 6 years + 10 years to advance from a jumping zombie to a level 5 wandering zombie, totaling about 20 years.

　　However, Edmund, because of his vampire bloodline and foundation, plus the "Witchcraft Magic Code" combined with all kinds of karma, it only took more than three months to advance from a small jumping zombie all the way to a fifth level zombie.

　　This kind of speed, no matter where you put it, you can use the word "heaven-defying" to describe it.

　　However, it was precisely because of this kind of heaven-defying speed that Edmund was left with a great deal of hidden problems.

　　The speed of advancement was too fast, and his foundation was unstable. Edmund didn't even have the time to properly master the mana in his body.

　　From the first time he had run the Sorcerer's True Wonderful Canon ", he had only known to go all out, which was called being able to let go but not being able to put it back.

　　And as the mana in his body became stronger and stronger, the various cyclones seemed to be functioning normally, but in fact, they were all just within him, and Edmund's divine sense simply couldn't control them at all.

　　It can be said that in this case, Edmund was repeatedly trapped, were able to turn danger into safety, this kind of luck, really with his advancement speed as heavenly.

　　Another disadvantage of advancing too fast is the lack of refinement of the body.

　　The body of a zombie is many times more powerful than that of a human. Ordinary low-ranking zombies seldom go to active cultivation, they are in addition to sucking blood, is through the body of the spontaneous absorption of the surrounding Yin Qi and the essence of the moon.

　　And in this process, both the Yin Qi and the Moon Essence would temper the zombie body.

　　Edmund had repeatedly advanced, either because he had absorbed enough blood, or because he had absorbed the Yin Condensation Bead, and it was directly instilled into his Qi Sea using the techniques in the Witch True Wonderful Canon.

　　Although there were also scattered streams of qi that quenched the body during this period, it was relatively far from enough.

　　After figuring this out, Edmund spent more than a year in dedicated cultivation, focusing on mastering the mana in his body and quenching his body.

　　After a lot of painstaking cultivation, he was finally able to control his mana with ease.

　　Moreover, great results had been achieved in the tempering of the body.

　　The Sorcerer's Canon of Witchcraft and Wonders was worthy of being the supreme secret book for corpse cultivators, and its contents included both cultivating mana and tempering the body.

　　Edmund was previously forced to survive the pressure, has not had time to calm down and think properly, but also focused on advancing, the most powerful aspect of the body of the zombie in turn somewhat neglected.

　　After having a cave, under the subconscious quenching, naturally, the results are outstanding.

　　Now Edmund, although it is still a fifth level zombie, but compared to a year ago, the foundation is solid, the body is strong, the mana is free, all the hidden dangers have been eliminated, already have the basis for another promotion.

　　...

　　Looking at the corpse of the spirit deer on the ground, Edmund reached out and took out a small jade basin with a lid from his Nano Pouch and connected it near the neck wound.

　　At the same time, he stretched out his waxen palm and pressed it on the spirit deer's back, and under the urging of his mana, the remaining essence blood in the spirit deer's body immediately surged, like a well blowout.

　　In a matter of minutes, the Spirit Deer's essence blood had already drained out, and under the effect of the special gong method, there was almost not a single drop left.

　　The small jade basin, on the other hand, was almost full of it.

　　"Hehehe, the spirit deer's essence blood is a good material for drawing talismans."

　　Edmund was happy in his heart, screwed the lid of the jade box tightly, and took it back into his Nano Pouch.

　　Taking a look at the Spirit Deer that had been drained of its essence blood, the blackened teeth marks on its neck indicated the murderer who killed it.

　　However, Edmund did not have the idea of wasting a talisman to destroy the corpse. The jungle was extremely full of all kinds of beasts, and venison like this near-dry carcass would be found cleaned up in less than half a night.

　　Getting up and hesitating slightly, he headed towards the U-shaped valley mouth.

　　Today Edmund's goal was the Fire Scaled Armored Cow, killing this Spirit Deer was just in passing.

　　There was a fertile water meadow at the mouth of the valley, which was the Fire Scaled Armored Cow's main area of activity, and Edmund had to get there as soon as possible.
