Wanted to say thank you for all the follows and favorites and if you have any criticism hit me straight up with it i can take it.

**also i’m considering changing the title to reflect the fact the mc is an evil/necromancer cultivator if anyone has any ideas i’d be happy to hear them, i’d like it to still reference the blue screen aspect as “Leveling” does**

Ahhh to think my alien overlords would realize my wish so soon, truly benevolent. Gaining such a boon i alter my plans for the School of Exp once more, finally coming to a real solution to leave the students nice and vulnerable.

I spend the next few days killing gang members once more...except this time there's one major difference, every cultivator is made into a zombie. I wanted to make some ordinary mortals zombies as well but i’ve noticed that having undead under my control takes a permanent toll on my Evil Qi so long as they're alive, and given how close the cost is between a 1/9 Qi Realm cultivator and a mortal it's not worth it.

I have them gather and hide in the former basement of the Green Blood Gang, R.I.P Pio Meng if only i could have raised you....

As far i as can tell they live off or well unlive off the qi in the area, i doubt the small amount of Evil Qi each zombie takes is enough to preserve their cultivation.

I also ran some tests having them kill each other… no exp...but the amazing thing is that if they killing something living i get 15% of the usual exp...hahah i’ll have my army raze this city to the ground!.

The highest level gang member I've found and raised so far was at the Qi realm 4/9, and frankly my lack of any real experience showed, if it wasn’t for the fact my Evil Qi Transformation made him lose his focus and i brought some zombies with me as back up i would have without a doubt died. That's the last time i ever fight directly, to think i challenged him like some MC. He even managed to kill 3 of them at the 2/9 Qi realm before they basically dog piled on him and killed him. Being just three as strong isn’t a big deal when you have a dozen plus zombies surrounding you.

My Current 32 Zombies are as follows, 15 at the 1/9 Qi Realm, 7 at the 2/9 Qi Realm, 9 at the 3/9 Qi Realm and finally 1 at the 4/9 Qi Realm. Definitely not enough to kill the 9/9 Qi realm guards at the school gate. Conceal Presence Doesn’t make me invisible so it's not like i can just walk in while they’re staring at me. So i only have one course of action, similar to how i gained the 4/9 Qi realm zombie I've got to use their superior numbers and constitution to ambush stronger cultivators.

The city lord mansion my last target before i head to the school… two 6/9 Qi Realm guards at the front gate and who knows how many inside. Having used Identify on the city lord before i know he’s at the 8/9 Qi realm and that he’s basically the head of a cultivator clan that runs the city and supplies the guards, with most of the younger generation attending the Red Serpent School. Zombies actually retain some of their memories so the information wasn’t hard to find, though they don’t have any real thoughts anymore and are more like husks acting on my orders and their instincts when the order is general enough.

I have my zombies clear a nearby building and wait for my order to storm the mansion. Ahhh such nice exp i don’t even have to do anything for. Zombies have a huge advantage over normal cultivators to, not only do they not bleed they can pretty much take any injury so long as their brains are intact enough, though it does take some Evil Qi from me.

The shop? I believe, put up a good fight, 4 of my 2/9 Qi realm zombies and 2 of my 3/9 Qi zombies died, well really died. The shop looks like it was made for some sort of unsavory business so none of the noise really made it outside and it's far enough away from the mansion not to be easily seen.

I’m letting some of the injured Zombies absorb my Qi while i use Raise Undead on the shop’s guards.

Achievement Gained: Evil Qi Transfer: Due to your excessive and constant transfer of Evil Qi between you and your undead you have been granted a new type of attribute that can be raised with stat points: Evil Qi Control: 10. This new attribute will make Evil Qi transfers more efficient and allow greater control of your undead. Also improves abilities in general which use Evil Qi exclusively

Fantastic, hopefully i’ll level up while clearing the city lord’s mansion and can put all my points into this. HAHA bow before your Undead King you puny NPCs! Humph, why bother risking my life against these martial art freaks when i can just stay back and watch the carnage.

I ended up gaining another 4/9 Qi Realm Cultivator from the shop among others.

I considered just letting my zombie army bum rush the mansion but i’m really worried what the City Lord himself is capable of, he could very well wipe out my entire hard earned army.

And so i go the merchant route...gathering all my hard earned money, well not really hard earned when i have the zombies collect it from all around the slums and various gang hideouts, I buy some expensive clothes and a nice box to put my Beguiling Cloak in. I’ve already used it before and it seems even though he couldn’t tell what it does the formerly living leader of the Red Barons got such a strong look of greed in his eyes i didn’t think an NPC was capable of.

So i prepare to gain entry into the city lord's and mansion and hopefully a meeting with him by showing off the gift and talking about how my merchant company could gain more and would be willing to deal with the city lord. Then while he’s distracted by the gift i’ll stick my dagger, which i can’t even recognize anymore, right in the basterd. At the very least with all points in agility and reaction speed combined with the Windweaver ability i should be able to run if things go south. Identify

Soul Dagger Level 7 112/200 Exp

The dagger itself is a deep black with red veins coursing up and down the blade, far different from it’s previously normal blade. I have to keep it in my inventory all the time though, the aura it gives knocks out a mortal at close range, which means other cultivators will definitely be able to sense it. The dagger also isn’t included in my Conceal Presence.

Putting on my Thousand Faces Mask and taking the visage of an 50 year old version of Pio Meng, I start walking up to the City Lord’s mansion wearing a space ring as a show for when i bring out the gift..i wouldn’t look very important otherwise. I have my two 4/9 Qi Realm Zombies dressed in finery, acting as my fancy pants guards and wearing masks to the hide the dead look in their faces, trailing behind me. Hopefully cultivators of this caliber won’t be able to tell they’re actually undead.

Walking up to the guards they put their hands on their sword hilt

Guard 1: “State your business.” he says in please leave me alone tone.

While rubbing my palms together like only a greedy merchant could

Sandro: “Why i’ve come to enact a business deal with the city lord, my company is very INNtressssted in selling some CERTAIN goods here.” i hiss out

A natural hump forming in my back as i get far too into character

Before they can send me off i take out the box from my spatial ring and open it up.

Their eyes light up as one of them orders a passing servant to tell the city lord someone is offering a business deal relating to artifacts.

The servant returns saying the city lord will meet with me.

Leading me and my guards up to the door of the mansion…

Guard 1: “Your two guards will have to stay outside, i hope you can understand even if their cultivation is twice as low as the city lord we cannot put his life in danger.”

Sandro:”Heh heh heh of course boy it's no trouble at all” i say as I at this point am compulsively rubbing my hands together.

Walking through the mansion being lead by the guard and finally reaching what i assume is the city lord’s mansion. I’m led and then left alone waiting for the man at the table to address me. He's roughly 6’2’’ in height long black hair, looking to be in his late 50s, hmm, was probably quite good looking in his young day’s i wonder if he has any daughters here so i can finally test if this game has a Sex option and if its even possible with a zombie. Though in all likelihood they're probably all at the school...wait for me my pretties HEH HEH HEH HEH..ah damn method acting i need to end this quick.

Identify

The only reason i’m able to prevent my bursting laughter is that i already got it all out of me when i identified him back at the school recruiting. I can only hope my dagger is strong enough to carry me through this, his intelligence and wisdom are far too high for him to simply open his back to me as a random action.

Yu Bang:”I heard from my guard you have quite the interesting item to show me? You’ll excuse if i request to inspect it, it's hard to believe a cultivator of your level would truly have a Spirit level artifact. “

Sandro: “Ke Ke Ke, inspect my good lord, no no no this one is but a gift for your magnificence and for our future”

Looking at me with a partially disgusted partially skeptical look, damn that's expressive for an NPC, he takes the box and slowly opens it. His eyes glow with a wonderful light.

Puuurfect…..no dammit i mean perfect.

I activate WindWeaver , Evil Qi transformation and Conceal Presence to hide my killing intent and skill activation. I leap at him drawing my dagger at the same time.

Shit his reaction speed truly makes a difference, he draws a sword and a golden bubble forms around him. To think i’ve made such a foolhardy move...however luck was not on his side as he chose to block my dagger with his short sword… truly a 1 roll on that action.

My dagger goes through his sword and bubble like butter and before he has a chance to react the dagger is in his chest as i use Drain Vitality as a finisher.

Drain Vitality: Drains a target's Vitality using your own Qi to heal wounds and improve own Vitality permanently. 2(3)Vitality drained per second. .10(3) Meter Distance. 5 to 1 improvement ratio. QI Cost: 50 Evil Qi per second

Drained 5 Vitality Gained 1 Vitality

Drained 10 Vitality Gained 1 Vitality

Qi Realm 8/9 killed: Exp gained = 120

Achievement Gained: Chopping off the head of the Snake: You killed the head of a clan or organization. Exp gained = 100. Feather Boots added to inventory

Only 2 seconds pass before he falls down dead. Looks like i hit closer to his heart then i thought. Breathing hard i focus on gathering Qi and then prepare to raise the now leader of my undead army!

Raise Undead

Damn..i guess because he's at such a higher level than me he takes a whole fucking 100 passive Evil Qi to maintain. Ah well it's worth it. I spend some time going through his memories: Where his clan’s treasure is held, the fact that his daughter who's at 7/9 Qi realm is currently home preparing to leave for a higher caliber of school later this week. Fucking perverted old man actually spent a good 5 minutes describing how perfect her ass is, jesus christ NPC cultivators i don't need to here a father describing me his daughter's ass as if heaven shined a light down upon it forming....no no his damn zombie monotone  speech is stuck in my head.

Way to high level for me to do anything with though, so looks like i’ll have to use her father to kill her and make her into a zombie and see how it goes..hmm I've seen zombies drool so i have high hopes.

I take out clean clothes from the old man’s spatial ring and order him to change while i do the same making sure there's no blood. Walking out with the old man walking side by side i have him lead me to his daughter’s room. Whenever i find a lone guard along the way i have the old man quickly take care of them and raise them. I’m getting dangerously low on Qi so i have my 3/9 Qi realm zombies kill all the 2/9 and 1/9 Qi realm ones. I give an imaginary salute thanking them for their second sacrifice.

I have the old man knock on her door, the moment she opens it and answers she already has a blade through her chest and a incredibly confused expression on her face. Instant death. i quickly raise her and heal the wound, i order the city lords and the guards I've collected to move in groups and start killing all the guards and servants while bringing the guards bodies outside this room.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Achievement Gained: Intermidiate Necromancer: For personally raising over a total of 50 undead your undead have gained an additional skill. Zombies= Infection, Vampires = Paralyzing Eyes, Error further skills hidden.

Zombie Skill: Infection: Using their bite it allows Zombies to turn living and recently deceased of the same or lower cultivation barring preventive abilities. However the turned Zombies will not be under your control but still provide you exp and will instead be mindless undead searching and hunting for people to eat and turn.

Vampire Skill: Paralyzing Eyes: Allows the Vampire to paralyze upon eye contact the targeted victim for half a second. Effectiveness decreases for those of higher cultivation level.

Ahh alien overlords you must really wish for me to raze this city how could i ignore such an exp farm. YES i shall do your will.

Now before i get to business with one of the most attractive zomb….woman i’ve ever seen i order all the zombies i originally planned to invade the city lords instead rampage across the city turning anyone they can. I also order them to stay in a group using swarm tactics on even the weakest cultivators. Ignoring the distant screams and the sound of bodies being pilled up in-front of the closed door as well as the blood slightly flowing in through the cracks...

18++(no relevant plot info.)

Spoiler :

i begin sizing up my now favorite zombie. Black Hair straight hair with slight tinges of velvet hangs over her shoulders, green dead eyes stare at me as inspect her face, a small straight nose and perfectly shaped lips.

I order her to remove her clothes. Damn that old man was right, her ass forms a perfect apple shape as i walk behind her,  i finish rubbing over her smooth skin and A cup sized breasts and lament at the lack of any reaction and go find a chair to sit down in and remove my clothes. Time to test if doing it with a zombie is going to be anywhere near enjoyable. If not i’ll just have to hope once i’m strong enough to raise a vampire that they’ll work out properly.

Before i go any further i got to ask what has been on my mind…

Sandro: “Do you love your father like he loves you?”

Surprisingly her once dead eyes slightly light up as she says with a disgusted tone..

Yu Lily: “Humph that perverted old man, as if.”

Before i can even finish being shocked her eyes turn back to being lifeless...what the hell just happened even when the old man spent 5 minutes describing her ass his voice was completely monotone and his eyes didn’t even blink no matter how insanely passionate he was about it when he was alive.

Well lets start with the testing…

Sandro: “Gather saliva in your mouth and spit on the ground.”

She swishes her mouth around for a moment and then spits...hmm it looks normal enough that's a good sign.

Sandro: “Good now get on your knees right in front of me”

I get fully erect as she kneels before me, my cock is just inches from her face as she continues to stare at me with her dead but sexy eyes.

Sandro: “Give me a blowjob.”

Hmm nothing happens, is she really sentient and deny my orders? Or should i try more terms.

“Give me fellatio.”

“Just put my fucking cock in your mouth you damn zombie!.”

Ohhh..she does it right away, i guess can’t order a zombie to do something it doesn’t know how to do.

Removing my cock i order her...

“Build up as much saliva as you can and open your mouth as wide as possible”

I feel a slight tug at my Evil Qi, almost nonexistent, as she rolls saliva around in her mouth.

She opens her mouth up wide and i stare down at her green eyes ,grabbing her head and shoving my cock down as far possible down her mouth she makes a slight gagging noise but in the end, being dead and all, it illicites no further reactions. The warmth and wetness engulf me as i order her to apply pressure on my cock with her lips without letting her teeth touch. I stop moving and then order her to move up and down my cock slowly. Over time i have her increase the speed until i drown my weeks of pent up frustration into her throat, with my cock so deep in her throat there's not even a need to swallow.

18++ (End)

The blowjob definately felt real enough but the lack of noises really took away my motivation to also have sex with her, it might as well be a doll. Well for now i'll have her service me when i get the urge until i get a proper undead follower.

Huh what if she didn’t follow my teeth order well enough and bit me...holy fuck that's frightening i guess she’ll be joining the army, a real shame, becoming a zombie myself isn't worth such a mechanical blowjob. That school better have a hot profound realm cultivator or i’m asking for a refund, not that i paid for anything.

Ordering her to put her clothes back on and take out a sword i open the door to find a total of 12 guards stacked outside my door and with the other already turned 7 guards with the city lord standing outside. I guess that's all of them, that were at least at the mansion and not running around the city dealing with the whole zombie horde problem.

Having leveled up to the 6/9 Qi realm and putting all 40 points into Evil Qi Control i have more than enough Qi now to turn the 12 guards that are a mix of 5 and 6 Qi realm. Ordering the 9 zombies in front of me to go bring everything out of the vault and to the foyer of the mansion i turn the 12 recently killed guards and give them the same order. I take my 3 skill points and use Choose Skill. Browsing through skills i start looking for something specifically that will help me when i sneak into the school.

Mimic Qi Signature: Uses Evil Qi to absorb and mimic one of the unique Qi signatures every cultivator has. Requires target to be near death or significantly below yours in strength. Will stand up to inspection to even Cloud Realm cultivators. Any direct use of Evil Qi will break the mimic. Once a Qi Signature has been absorbed the mimic can be applied at any time. Evil QI Cost 200.

This would of been nice to have when the school was first recruiting but i'll take what i can get, it also starts out at max level so i’m able to put two more points in Raise Undead as i prepare myself to make a vampire strong enough to protect and please me. I trust in my Soul Dagger to kill a Profound Cultivator of at least the lower middle range after what i saw it do to the city lord.

I head out to the foyer passing alongside the various dead servants. Hmm it's true i can’t control it but i can sense the now 322 infected Zombies rampage through the city. When i was taking information from the city lord i also learned that there are around 9800 people in the city and it is considered a small low ranked city. I also learned some disconcerting information about the Red Serpent School. Apparently in order to be considered an official Rank 9 School you have to have a Spirit Level Cultivator as either an elder or the headmaster. Spirit being the realm above profound. That means there's someone stronger in there other than that old man at the testing day.

On a positive note formation arrays and their masters are apparently considered extremely rare and expensive, meaning there is absolutely no way a pitiful rank 9 school has one. Hooray for beginner village.

Counting close to 2,000 infected Zombies as i head towards the school with my 21 elite zombies in tow featuring 1 at the 8/9 , 1 at the 7/9 ,6 at the 6/9, and 13 at the 5/9 Qi Realm. I killed and absorbed the aura of a 3/9 Qi Realm cultivator and also changed my face to a cute kid, well as cute as a kid can be while viciously snarling and biting someone. Oddly none of the infected even look my way, i guess even if i have no control over them they still recognize me as their great and benevolent Undead King.

Me and my Elite Zombies take a roundabout way to get towards the School, taking roughly 8 hours.

I activate Conceal Presence and take a look at the large metal gate and the guards. Judging by how they look they don’t see to have any clue what’s happening at the city, or maybe no one cares, who knows. Hmm they should care, a stupid rank 9 school thinks they are above the townspeople i'm harvesting for exp, fucking NPCs.

Giving them a Salute i have my Elite Zombies rush at the gate, The city lord leading the charge slashes down at the shocked guard but is easily blocked and stabbed straight through the heart by the superior 9/9 Qi Realm Cultivator...of course that doesn’t matter as the City Lord swings and chops his head off. The other 9/9 Qi Realm guard manages to take off the heads of two of the zombies but in the end their superior durability wins out. Healing my undead doesn’t seem to remove my mimic but i’ll have to reapply it after i raise these two guards. Raising the two guards while the rest of zombies finish of the other two guards i now have 4 9/9 Qi Realm Cultivators adding to my horde.

“Oi Yu Lain go far into the forest, and stay away from any people and just go wild hunting things weaker than you”

She runs off...ahhhh it's like the end of a movie as i watch my undead lover fade into the night.

Guess i’m attached to her being unalive.

I empty and take the four guards spatial rings without sparing a glance...i’ll have to sort through my massive amount of loot later.

I felt the largest Evil Qi Drain to date as each guard takes 200 passive Evil Qi to maintain. Hopefully the school will act quick enough and kill these Evil Qi stealing fuckers. I get some basic terrain and area info from one of the guards and order all the zombies around me to sprint into the school as deep as they can and swarm any cultivator above 8/9 Qi Realm. I also order them not to kill any female profound cultivators...assuming they even could with their numbers, can’t have my future vampire slave taken from me.

I activate Conceal Presence and head in the opposite direction towards where i learned the promising outer disciples live. I carefully view my surrounds and rush into the first house i come across. Walking up the stairs i find what looks like to be a 15 year old male, hmm...he's too short and stocky, he won’t match me. I sneak under his bed and activate Drain Vitality, he starts screaming before soon going quiet as i stab a dagger through the bed. I killed him early so i could question him as my zombie and not have to stare at a drained corpse.

It seems this guy was pretty popular and knows way more gossip and people then anyone should, i found the perfect guy to replace. I have him go to the school's personal beast mountain and ordered him to get eaten. Hopefully he’s fresh enough for them.

My target for replacement is actually from a huge Clan lead by multiple Spirit and Sky Cultivators. He seems to be one of the less talented of his junior generation ending up at this school which makes him perfect as i won’t have to deal with any of his clan.  I also learned Cultivation Realms from him starting from Qi, Profound, Spirit, Sky, Cloud, Immortal. Whether or not that's as high as they go i have no idea, don’t disappoint me aliens get me that expansion pack.

Not taking any risks i instantly kill Lur Tong, Conceal Presence may not make me invisible but damn is it effective. A 5/9 Qi Realm cultivator at 17 years old. Huh i guess compared to my favorite zombie he really is untalented, especially when you compare the fact she definitely didn’t have the resources of a real clan.  I take his face and mimic his Qi signature and after listening to his utterly depressing life story i give him the same order as before to get himself eaten.

Heh heh heh school life and my vampire slave here i come!

I lay down in bed after storing the bloody sheets and taking some out of my inventory falling asleep before i can read the soon to fade blue screen…...

Author's Note: Chapter might make the MC seem overpowered but when you consider the cultivation he uses and the fact that this is a low level backwater town in this world it's par for the course. Frankly it’d be weirder if he wasn’t this OP at this point, i’ve seen that fact ruin a lot of stories, when the MC has heaven defying abilities and/or items and yet he still seems well...barely above average or even below.
