It's quite a distance from Kyoto to Shanghai; including rest time, it takes about a day and a half to get there.
The main reason for all this is that trucks should not be driven too fast.
Li Xuanzu no longer needs food and water to replenish his energy; absorbing blood is sufficient, and the Blood Manipulation Technique is extremely useful in this regard.
This is why Blood Manipulation Technique does not require spiritual root cultivation.
Once a normal cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage, all their meridians and spiritual energy are connected, and they can fast for several years without any problems. This is why cultivators often spend ten or even a hundred years in seclusion for enlightenment. If they also need to eat regularly, they won't have enough time to cultivate.
Although the Blood Manipulation Technique cannot allow practitioners to fly, it surpasses it in other aspects.
However, just because Li Xuanzu doesn't need to eat doesn't mean that Fu Yu and the others don't.
A psionicist's body will feel hungry after three days without food, and as for water, they will feel unwell after two days without drinking water.
Without convenient storage items like storage bags from the Blazing Spirit Continent, vehicles are already quite convenient.
"It's really troublesome that there's no spiritual energy in a low-level martial arts world." Li Xuanzu sighed and took a short nap in the driver's seat.
The driver was naturally Big Black. Its aura was quite strong. Several third-tier exorcists that Huang Lao left in Kyoto had seen it once, and they predicted that Big Black was not much different from the fourth-tier monster in Shanghai.
Following Li Xuanzu was not the best outcome for Dahei. For the Weiwei to become stronger, absorbing the negative emotions of living beings was the optimal choice.
Absorbing the spirit core is a fast way to improve one's strength, but it is very troublesome. Moreover, the relationship between the supernatural and the zombies is not as harmonious as one might imagine, and the supernatural generally cannot access the spirit core.
"Are the supernatural occurrences in Shanghai really that good? I was wondering why the frequency of these strange occurrences has been so low lately. It turns out they've all hidden in Shanghai." Li Xuanzu scrolled through the forums on his phone, still unwilling to give up and trying to find news about Shanghai.
But that side seemed to be isolated from the world, and the only bit of news they had came from a ghost servant controlled by a ghost exorcist who possessed the ability to transmit sound.
“The internal workings of the supernatural are not exactly harmonious either. Some high-level supernatural beings feed on low-level supernatural beings, growing stronger by devouring their own kind. Compared to zombies, they are about the same.” Big Black’s deep voice rang out.
“That’s true. It’s pretty much the same on the human side. There are plenty of cases of people killing each other to steal spirit cores. Even if the higher-ups see it, there’s nothing they can do,” Li Xuanzu replied, continuing to scroll through his phone idly.
The rest of the journey consisted of nothing more than driving, killing zombies, and sleeping, until the next morning when Li Xuanzu and his companions arrived in Lu Province, which is near Shanghai.
"Brother, this area feels strange, eerie and scary." Before Li Xuanzu fulfilled his promise, Qian Li would still address him the same way when others were around.
"Hmm, I'm right, there are a lot of strange things around here." Li Xuanzu said calmly, the blood red in his eyes fading and replaced by a golden light.
To see through the fog.
In Li Xuanzu and Dahei's eyes, the overwhelming black shadows had already completely surrounded them, and even the sunlight shining down from the sky seemed a bit gloomy.
Fu Yu and the others cannot see these things.
Liang Lezhan, who could barely be considered a half-expelled ghost, could only see second-tier ghosts; he couldn't see third-tier ones. But the sheer number of them still shocked him.
"Big Black, come on, hurry up." Li Xuanzu originally wanted to do it himself, but these "experience babies" delivered to his door were perfect for Big Black.
"Alright, just you wait and see." As soon as Big Black's voice rang out, it transformed into an extremely thick cloud of black mist and dispersed in all directions, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Every now and then, a few shrill cries, not like those of a human, could be heard, adding to the already chilly atmosphere and making it even more terrifying.
Ouyang Ningxue gripped the spear, looked around, and tried to find the source of this feeling with her naked eye.
"No need to look anymore. A fourth-tier psionicist shouldn't have the ability to see or harm the supernatural. Big Black will handle it." Li Xuanzu's voice wasn't loud, but it was very powerful.
Whether it was the psychological comfort effect of Li Xuanzu's words or the fact that Dahei had cleared away most of the strange things around them, the temperature gradually began to warm up.
It took only five minutes for Dahei to appear. Wisps of black mist drifted in from all directions, converging into a black figure.
"Brother Li, something's not right." Dahei's tone was serious, no longer the confident look he had at the beginning.
