Chapter 311 The Benefits of the Seventh Division

The Seventh Division wasn't quite what Qin Chao had imagined. The place was filled with metallic steel buildings and researchers in white coats carrying documents, bustling around.

Qin Chao passed through the damp and gloomy corridor and entered a not-so-large room. The room was about a hundred square meters and looked like a normal person's residence, complete with a TV, refrigerator, and sofa. In the center of the living room, there was a table with a computer on it. Li Baishan was leaning on it, holding a can of Sprite, seemingly watching a movie.

"What the... Is this the Seventh Division?" Qin Chao couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

"Of course," Li Baishan nodded. "What did you expect it to be like?"

With a wave of his hand, Xi, who was sitting on a nearby sofa, immediately stood up, twisting her waist like a snake. She bent down and opened the refrigerator, revealing her curvaceous figure.

Although she was a corpse princess, her buttocks were quite shapely. She was indeed a product of the Yimei Sect and Li Baishan's proudest creation. However, she lacked a soul, which led to Li Baishan's ultimate abandonment.

Xi took a can of Sprite from the refrigerator and threw it to Qin Chao.

"Sprite..." Qin Chao said, "Drinking too much of this stuff makes you fat."

"For us cultivators, it's just an ordinary drink," Li Baishan casually waved his hand. "Any harmful substances will be automatically expelled from our bodies. There's no need to worry. Life is short, so we need to learn to enjoy it."

As he spoke, Li Baishan tossed a black leather badge to Qin Chao.

"Here's your identification. Keep it safe. It carries a lot of authority, and if you lose it, it won't be replaced."

"You're making it sound so serious." Qin Chao put the badge into his Sumeru ring and looked at Li Baishan. "Why did you set the entrance in the women's bathroom? It's so inconvenient to get in."

"It's for Xi's convenience!" Li Baishan winked. "Besides, there's an entrance in the men's bathroom too. Why did you insist on going through the women's bathroom?"

Qin Chao felt a vein throbbing on his forehead, as if he had been played.

A strange thought crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "How many people are in the Seventh Division?"

"The main staff is basically just you and me," Li Baishan took a sip of his Sprite and said leisurely.

"What the heck..." Qin Chao's vein throbbed again. "You made it sound so impressive, but in the end, it's just the two of us?"

"Did you think just anyone could enter the Seventh Division?" Li Baishan swayed in his chair and looked at Qin Chao. "Most people haven't passed Xi's test, so they can only go to a second-tier organization. As for the name of that organization, I won't tell you. But just know that the people in that organization serve us."

"Organization?" This was the first time Qin Chao heard this term, and he quietly took note of it.

"That's right. Organizations are everywhere." Li Baishan laughed. "We get a lot of our information through them. There are people from the organization around you."

"Who is it?" Qin Chao was startled, as this was quite intriguing news.

"I won't tell you now; you'll find out later." Li Baishan waved his hand and continued, "Today, you're mainly here for your mission. I'll only say it once, so I hope your memory isn't too bad." Li Baishan stared into Qin Chao's eyes and began to speak slowly and clearly.

"I need you to go to Shan Hua Town, located at the intersection of Sunan City and Dongchuan City. The Zombie King is hiding there. You must retrieve his zombie core, no matter what method you use."

"What?" Qin Chao was shocked, "A zombie core?!" He suddenly recalled the scene from Guangyuan when he stabbed the ground with the Red Emperor Evil King Sword and felt the immense power. That was the Zombie King with the golden body cultivation level! Defeating Qin Chao would be as easy as lifting a finger for him.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to deal with the Zombie King?" Qin Chao touched his nose and said, "I've only just reached the early stage of Divine Power!"

"More precisely, you're about to reach the middle stage," Li Baishan said calmly. "You're a natural demon body with an extremely fast cultivation speed. Don't worry, as a member of my Seventh Division, I won't send you on a suicide mission."

As Li Baishan spoke, he suddenly conjured a yellow talisman and threw it to Qin Chao. Qin Chao caught the talisman, and a golden-red flame ignited on the yellow paper.

"This is the Samadhi True Fire of the Yimei Sect," Li Baishan said. "Absorb it, and your Nine Nether Art can advance to the fourth level."

Before Li Baishan finished speaking, the Nine Nether Yin Fire within Qin Chao automatically ignited. The Yin Fire devoured the Samadhi True Fire in an instant, like a greedy glutton. With a loud bang, the white flame split into four, each with different colors: green, red, gold, and golden-red. In the end, all the flames turned into a terrifying white color.

Qin Chao felt the power within him expanding significantly. The Samadhi True Fire might be incredibly harmful to other practitioners of the demonic path, but for him, it was nourishing. With the help of the True Fire, Qin Chao successfully advanced from the early stage to the middle stage of Divine Power.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough!" Li Baishan waved his hand and said, "You still have the two ox horn swords from the Black Bull Demon, which can also be refined into top-quality weapons, allowing your Nine Nether Summoning Technique to reach the fourth level."

"Is this a benefit of joining the Seventh Division?" Qin Chao looked at Li Baishan and asked. He was still somewhat wary of Li Baishan, as the man knew every detail of his past. The techniques of the Yimei Sect were terrifying, especially when used by Li Baishan, as they became like demonic arts.

"Of course, you'll have even more benefits in the future," Li Baishan smiled. The man, who still looked like a young man, had a shy smile on his face. "The Zombie King is terrifying, and I won't let you die for nothing. Go to the hospital and find Hu Ke. She'll tell you the weaknesses of the zombies."

"Hu Ke?" Qin Chao was shocked, "You know her?"

"Of course, she's part of the organization," Li Baishan said casually as if it were no big deal.

"What?!" Qin Chao was astonished, never having been this shocked in his life, "She's a zombie! How could she be part of the organization?!"

"Who says zombies can't serve the organization?!" Li Baishan didn't say anything, but Xi rolled her eyes beside him. Even though she was wearing a mask, Qin Chao could still see her eyes.

"You're a cultivator of Buddhist teachings, don't you know that all beings are equal?"

Xi's words left Qin Chao speechless. He looked at Li Baishan.

"Go on, this is your only choice to increase your bargaining power," Li Baishan said. "Only a zombie knows a zombie best. Hu Ke herself is a flying zombie, and with thousands of years of cultivation, she might become a Zombie King. It's a pity, though, she doesn't drink human blood, so probably won't get that chance."

"Alright, I'll go find her later."

Qin Chao knew he couldn't escape the mission to deal with the Zombie King, so he would definitely be well-prepared. It was either the Zombie King's death or his own survival.

Seeing Qin Chao's determination, Li Baishan nodded, "Good, worthy of the person I have my eyes on, you're brave. Take this book. In the town of Shanhua, there are now gathered experts from various sects. If you don't strengthen your cultivation, you'll surely be killed by those orthodox sects."

Qin Chao took the book and was immediately astonished.

On the cover, there were four characters.

"Unyielding Army Sword Manual!"

This was the complete Unyielding Army Eleven Swords, from the Rainbow Sword to the final Thunder Summoning Sword, all included.

"You're a dual cultivator of Buddhism and Demonic Arts, with a demonic core inside you. Ordinary cultivators can only learn two or three advanced techniques before they're exhausted. But you're different; your demonic core can constantly replenish your energy. So, the more spells you learn, the more advantageous it is for you," Li Baishan explained. "This Unyielding Army Sword Technique, I saw last time, you only know three moves. Otherwise, at your Foundation Building stage, you should be able to use the fourth sword. Go back and study well, at the Divine Power stage, you can at least practice the fifth and sixth swords now."

"How did you get the Shu Mountain Sword Manual?"

Qin Chao was dumbfounded.

"I also have the Emei and Huashan Sword Manuals here. Do you want them?"

Li Baishan said, opening his drawer, filled with numerous small booklets.

When Emei Sword Technique was mentioned, the image of the Yang Shen Sword Formation that Yuan Meng and others performed that day instantly popped up in Qin Chao's mind.

"I am quite interested in sword formations..."

"Oh?" Li Baishan raised an eyebrow. "Is it because of Emei's Yang Shen Sword Formation? It is indeed a powerful sword formation, capable of slaying gods and ghosts alike. Unfortunately, it has a major drawback - the limitation on the number of participants. For a loner like you in the demonic path, you can't practice it."

Li Baishan continued, suddenly offering bait, "However, I do have an immortal technique here, a sword formation that one person can practice. I couldn't completely grasp it, but if you're interested, you can take a look."

"Immortal Technique!" Qin Chao's body trembled. The word 'immortal technique' had a tremendous impact on him! What is an immortal technique? It's a spell practiced by immortals!

Different from the spells cultivated by ordinary people, immortal techniques are of a higher level and possess greater power! This immortal technique must be from the immortal realm; how did Li Baishan obtain it?

Moreover, he was so generous, willing to share it with Qin Chao?

"What do you think, want to take a look?" Li Baishan said, a glimmer of light shining in his hand as he pulled out a wooden scroll from somewhere.

It was even carved on a wooden scroll... it must indeed be an ancient immortal technique...

"Can I take a look?"

"Of course, there's no reason not to." Li Baishan smiled shyly and tossed the wooden scroll over.

Catching it, Qin Chao immediately felt a chill flowing from the wooden scroll.
