Chapter 2675

Actually, there wasn’t much to see back then. The bodies were pitch black. It would have been impossible to make out any details.

Besides, Yan Aohan would never allow Zhu Yanyi to worry too much about other men’s conditions. It was best for everyone to return to their own rooms.

Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan didn’t bother with pleasantries. They went straight to their rooms to take the Marrow-Cleansing Pills.

Once they left, Zhu Yanyi turned to Zhou Kun and the others. "You should practice the basic cultivation techniques first. Once you are proficient, I will find suitable attribute techniques for you."

Zhu Yanyi decided to pass down some of the cultivation methods left by the Azure Sovereign Qingdi from her Ruyi Space.

She didn’t expect them to be overly grateful. Her main goal was to ensure these children didn’t ruin their potential.

Zhou Kun and the five others bowed deeply. "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

"If you call me Sister-in-law, I will treat you as my own brothers," Zhu Yanyi said with a light smile.

Yan Aohan glanced at the five of them. "Since that is settled, why haven’t you started cultivating?"

Hearing this, the five men paused, then laughed. Yan Aohan’s blunt tone showed he truly accepted them as brothers.

Watching them return to their practice, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went back to their laboratory.

Zhu Yanyi used Binglan to dispose of all the zombie corpses. Since the zombies no longer existed, keeping the bodies served no purpose.

After Binglan burned the corpses, Zhu Yanyi noticed a strange powder left behind where the zombies had been.

"Husband, look. What is this?" Zhu Yanyi crouched down to examine the powder closely.

Yan Aohan came over at her call. she looked at the substance on the ground and raised an eyebrow. "Immortal-Demon Pollen."

Immortal-Demon Pollen comes from the Immortal-Demon Flower. It grows only on the Two-Realms Mountain, at the border of the Immortal and Demon realms. The seeds take a hundred years to sprout, a hundred to grow, a hundred to bud, a hundred to bloom, a hundred to fruit, and a hundred to wither. Its entire life cycle lasts six hundred years, so it is also called the Six-Hundred-Year Flower.

The pollen is made by drying and grinding the fruit of the Immortal-Demon Flower. Its primary effect is to confuse the mind.

"Why is there Immortal-Demon Pollen here? I didn’t find any when I checked the zombie corpses earlier," Zhu Yanyi frowned. She hadn’t expected the pollen to appear after the bodies were destroyed.

"It’s a pity. I don’t know if all zombies leave behind Immortal-Demon Pollen after death," Zhu Yanyi said with regret.

Yan Aohan looked at her. "Since we can’t get more zombie corpses, we can’t investigate the zombies further right now. But we must investigate this Immortal-Demon Pollen."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "The Immortal-Demon Flower grows on the Two-Realms Mountain at the border of the Immortal and Demon realms. The climate there is like spring all year round. But finding the flower is not easy. You also need to know when it fruits. Harvesting the fruit requires special tools. The flower itself can confuse the mind. Only those with strong wills can harvest it. Also, there are man-eating flowers nearby that look very similar. Mistaking them means losing your life."

Yan Aohan nodded slightly. He knew this well. Although he was not a doctor, the Immortal-Demon Flower was famous. It was hard not to know about it. In the past, when Immortals and Demons were at war, this flower was used as a powerful weapon against the enemy. Later, when the Black Emperor became the Supreme God and cleared the name of Demon Cultivators, peace was established. Now, both Immortal and Demon Cultivators could ascend if they cultivated seriously.

"If the Evil Buddha had this pollen harvested, what is she planning?" Yan Aohan frowned. She asked Zhu Yanyi, "Wife, what do you think is the effect of Immortal-Demon Pollen on zombies?"

Zhu Yanyi paused. "I need to study it first."

Zhu Yanyi never guessed about medicinal matters. Whatever she said was based on facts.

She carefully collected the Immortal-Demon Pollen and put it into test tubes. After half an hour of research, she told Yan Aohan, "Husband, I found that this pollen contains spiritual energy elements."

Yan Aohan thought for a moment. "You mean this pollen might awaken spiritual abilities?"

"Basically, yes. Wait." Zhu Yanyi took out some medicinal liquid and dropped one drop onto the pollen. She then gave a definite answer. "Husband, your guess is correct. This pollen can awaken a person’s spiritual potential. Whether human or zombie, they can awaken abilities. They likely got covered in the pollen unconsciously."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. "No wonder Zhou Kun said people saw a red moon and a blue sun. Red and blue are the colors of Immortal-Demon Pollen. I think the Evil Buddha used some divine power to scatter the pollen across the world. This caused some people to see only red and blue when looking at the sky. That’s why they thought they saw a red moon and a blue sun. We still need to study why the sun and moon appeared in the sky at the same time."

"That is a reasonable deduction," Yan Aohan said seriously. "Others may not know, but we do. In a realm where humans live, the light of the sun and moon must be balanced. On certain special days, the sun and moon occasionally appear in the sky together. I think that day happened to coincide with the appearance of the Immortal-Demon Pollen, causing the illusion."

Yan Aohan was guessing the truth, and he was very close.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Then the pollen fell to the ground. If people touched it and reached a certain concentration, it would awaken their spiritual abilities. That’s why more and more people started showing abilities. If they couldn’t awaken, they turned into zombies. Is that right?"

"That should be correct. Immortal-Demon Pollen is unstable. It tests a person’s mind. If their will is weak, they get trapped in their illusions and become senseless zombies," Yan Aohan nodded.

Now, the couple had found the reason why those people turned into zombies.
