Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 73 Raising corpses
On Muyu Island, in the courtyard, in the quiet room, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, silently breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As time passed, the spiritual sand placed beside him gradually lost its luster.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen exhaled a three-foot-long white breath from his mouth and slowly opened his eyes.

"According to my current speed, it will take another two months to fully accumulate the Qi in the Dantian acupoint, but the price is the rapid consumption of spiritual sand..."

Jiang Chen's eyes swept around and looked at the spiritual sand that had completely lost its spiritual charm.

Practicing with spiritual sand and without spiritual sand are two completely different experiences. He has cultivated top-grade true qi and has a solid foundation. Coupled with his powerful soul, he can refine spiritual energy very quickly and utilize it much more efficiently than ordinary cultivators. As long as he has enough spiritual sand, he can make rapid progress in a short period of time.

"I don't know if the two hu of spiritual sand left by the corpse Taoist is enough for me to make some progress in my Qi training. After all, superficial wealth is just superficial wealth. If I want to practice peacefully, I still need a basic income."

Thoughts collided as Jiang Chen thought about how to obtain spiritual sand stably.

"People in the world are in a hurry, just to make a few pieces of silver, and immortal cultivators are no exception."

There was no good solution for the time being. Shaking his head, Jiang Chen stood up and left the quiet room, heading to the training ground to practice various spells.

He has his own inheritance, and has inherited some of the remains of the Corpse Taoist and the An family. For the time being, he does not lack the skills to practice. What he really needs is time. If he can completely digest all of this, then he can be considered a true practitioner.

Time passed slowly and steadily, the outside world was still tense, and Jiang Chen enjoyed this moment of tranquility alone.

Seven days later, Wang Yuan, looking tired but also a little happy, appeared in front of Jiang Chen again.

"Sir, this is the reply letter that Master Lu Xuanping asked me to bring to you."

With great respect, Wang Yuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Chen.

After the Dangjiang bandits fought with the River Governor's Office, he followed Jiang Chen's instructions and quietly left Muyu Island with his ability to transform into a wolf. He took the jade pendant as a token of trust and went to the Lu family and met Lu Xuanping.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

After taking the letter and looking at Wang Yuan, Jiang Chen spoke. His eyes were dark and he looked listless. It was obvious that Wang Yuan had not had a good night's sleep during this period, and had not even had much rest.

And the fact is indeed so. In order to see Lu Xuanping as soon as possible so as not to delay important matters, Wang Yuan has been traveling day and night during this period of time. He has also frequently used the Gale Technique to bless himself, which has greatly exhausted his mind and spirit.

"Your Excellency has been so kind to me, and this is what I should do."

Wang Yuan looked respectful and humble.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"Take this bottle of Blood Spirit Pill to replenish your body and go down to rest."

After hearing this, Wang Yuan took the pill and immediately retreated, as he could no longer hold on.

After Wang Yuan left, Jiang Chen opened the letter and read it carefully. There was actually not much substantive content in it, mostly words of admiration and praise. In addition, there was an agreement to go to the island in three days to discuss the matter of the Dangjiang bandits with him in detail on behalf of the Lu family.

"Since they made the appointment directly at Muyu Island, it seems that the Lu family is indeed interested in the negotiation."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Jiang Chen had certain expectations for the upcoming negotiations.

The Dangjiang bandits were still locked in a standoff with the River Governor's Office. At this point, Lu Xuanping chose to enter the island alone, rather than arrange a meeting elsewhere. This was a display of great sincerity, and of course, a sign of confidence. He was certain Jiang Chen wouldn't truly fall out with the Lu family. This wasn't just because there wasn't any unresolved hatred between Jiang Chen and the Lu family, but also because of the Lu family's immense power. In Qingyuan County, the Lu family was the undisputed local tyrant.

"I hope the talks go smoothly."

After taking a look at the sky outside and seeing a ray of sunlight faintly shining through the clouds, Jiang Chen climbed up to the top of the wooden fish alone.

Although judging from the Lu family's current attitude, the possibility of peace talks is extremely high, but before that, he still needs to add as many trump cards as possible to increase the tolerance rate.

"Iron Man Butcher's decision to settle down on Muyu Island may not only be due to the unique environment of Mihun Bay, but also because Muyu Peak itself is somewhat special, especially the location of the house. Although the main part of it is bathed in sunlight, the Yin energy in the deepest part is exceptionally pure, far beyond the ordinary."

"According to the records in the Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique, this is the best place to raise corpses. The only pity is that although the Yin Qi here is pure, the amount is not that great."

As he walked into the courtyard, a chilling feeling came over him, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

During this period, in addition to his own practice, he also took the time to study the inheritance left by the corpse Taoist, and gained a deeper understanding of Yin energy and zombies.

As if sensing Jiang Chen's approach, a low roar suddenly rang out from the secret room in the deepest part of the courtyard, followed by a dull thud, as if something was trying to break out of a cage but couldn't.

"It's getting more active. It seems the time is almost right."

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen showed a hint of joy on his face, and then he quickly walked into the secret room. This was originally the place where Iron Man Butcher practiced, and now it has been transformed by him and become his place to raise corpses.

"The blood and energy have been completely absorbed. This fighting corpse has reached its peak state. It's time to proceed to the final step."

Walking into the secret room and looking at the almost dried-up pool of blood, Jiang Chen felt quite satisfied.

"According to the records left by the Corpse Taoist, his ancestor once cultivated a fighting corpse. Using it to cultivate Qi, he had hopes of achieving the foundation of Taoism. However, he was ultimately attacked by the fighting corpse and died, his Taoism being destroyed. This also shows how powerful the fighting corpse is."

"Although the records of our ancestors are inevitably exaggerated, fighting corpses should still be a great help in improving the Qi training level. Otherwise, the corpse Taoist would not have to plan this for twenty years. Moreover, I have specially refined blood and Qi to further compensate for the damage."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen looked at the shaking black coffin, his expression turned solemn.

"open!"

With a thought, Jiang Chen pinched the magic formula and opened the black coffin.

Roaring, his eyes bloodshot, the moment he saw the light of day again, the Iron Man Butcher, who had completely turned into a zombie, was about to pounce and tear Jiang Chen to pieces to vent his murderous desire.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen remained calm and activated the corpse-controlling bell.

As soon as the bell sounded, Tie Ren Tu's body froze, and taking this opportunity, Jiang Chen activated the true qi thread to bind him tightly.

"Success or failure depends on this one move. If it succeeds, that's great. If it doesn't, I can only turn you into a real corpse."

Their eyes met, Jiang Chen whispered softly, then he pinched the magic formula with his hands, condensed an extremely special mark, and injected it into the body of Tie Ren Tu. At this moment, there was a subtle connection between him and Tie Ren Tu.
