This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 146 Uncorrupted Bones Upon Opening the Coffin, the Female Ghost Dong Xiaoyu
It can only be said that people's weaknesses are sometimes like this, and Ren Tingting is Ren Fa's weakness.

"That's very true, but Master Ren doesn't need to worry. The results will come out after the coffin is opened."

"That's right. Uncle Jiu, the matter is set for three days from now. I'll send someone to the mortuary to invite you in three days. I just don't know if you would be willing to come and watch the excitement together?"

Ren Fa takes this matter quite seriously. If Zhong Bai accompanies him, Ren Fa can easily say that he knows Zhong Bai when he meets business partners in the future, and he will have more to talk about when he brags!

"That's no problem, but what about my junior brother..."

Lin Fengjiao looked at Zhong Bai, who smiled faintly and said, "I'll see how things go; perhaps I'll come."

It was ambiguous, but even so, Ren Fa was already quite satisfied. The fact that he wasn't directly rejected meant there was still hope, right?
After finishing their business, the coffee was served, and Zhong Bai took a small sip.

I think it's alright, considering that there are no additives or high-tech gadgets in this era.

Lin Fengjiao took a small sip and immediately found the taste a bit strange. However, Lin Fengjiao was quite receptive to new things, and after a few more sips, she found the taste acceptable and quite novel.

There was no instance of Ren Fa leaving to meet Huang Baiwan. Perhaps with Zhong Bai there, Ren Fa felt that accompanying him for tea was more important.

Afterwards, Zhong Bai and Lin Fengjiao left the coffee shop ahead of time.

Ren Tingting looked at her father, a slight blush appearing on her lips.

“Father, this Master Qianhe of Maoshan is truly extraordinary. Just by looking at his aura, you can tell he is not an ordinary person. I never expected that Uncle Jiu is Master Qianhe’s senior brother.”

So, Uncle Nine is quite a high-ranking Taoist master!

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa nodded in agreement, saying, "I only just found out about this myself."

If they had known that Uncle Nine held such a high position in Maoshan, their father would have listened to him no matter what.

It's fortunate that we knew about the problem beforehand, rather than only discovering it now.

“Father, it’s never too late to make amends. I’ll visit the mortuary tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa frowned.

"Tingting, you wouldn't do this to Master Qianhe..."

Upon hearing this, Ren Tingting rolled her eyes.

"Father, what are you saying? This is impossible. Let alone the fact that I only met Master Qianhe once."

Even if your daughter really likes Chizuru Makoto, do you think she has a chance? It's impossible; your daughter isn't stupid."

The gap was so huge that Ren Tingting really couldn't have any other thoughts.

"Yes, yes..."

Ren Fa shook his head and smiled.

......................................................

The day for relocating the graves has arrived.

Zhong Bai naturally followed along to take a look.

There were two purposes: first, to be curious about what level Old Master Ren's corpse could reach after it was transformed into a zombie; and second, to kill him and collect some demon-slaying points.

However, Zhong Bai did not choose to follow the main group. After all, riding in a sedan chair was not as good as Zhong Bai flying on his own sword.

On the cemetery hill.

It would be a lie to say that Ren Fa wasn't disappointed when he saw Lin Fengjiao, Qiu Sheng, and Wen Cai, since the absence of Zhong Bai meant that the other party was unwilling to come and watch.

"Ninth Uncle, do you not know Master Qianhe?"

Ren Fa, still unwilling to give up, leaned closer to Lin Fengjiao and asked her more questions.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengjiao first sized up Ren Fa before saying, "My junior brother should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of light appeared in front of everyone in the void.

Zhong Bai was seen standing on a spirit sword, floating in the void. Besides Zhong Bai, there was a seven or eight-year-old girl who was hugging Zhong Bai's leg and laughing excitedly.

This girl was naturally Lin Fengjiao's daughter, Lin Qing'er. Originally, Zhong Bai planned to come alone, but when Qing'er saw Zhong Bai flying on his sword, she was so excited that she clung to his leg and wouldn't let go, even when Aunt Zhe lectured her.

Zhong Bai decided to bring Xiao Qing'er along as well.

"Daddy!"

Xiao Qing'er hugged Zhong Bai's leg and shouted loudly towards her father below.

This scene left everyone speechless.

"immortal!"

The men hired by the Ren family, including the sedan chair bearers and servants, were all speechless with astonishment.

Riding a sword is nothing short of divine power.

"Hiss! Uncle Jiu, Master Qianhe is truly a divine being! He travels on a sword, tsk tsk tsk, I've lived for decades and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

Ren Fa's excitement was genuine; wasn't this exactly the result he wanted?
Lin Fengjiao was somewhat helpless. Seeing Xiao Qing'er running towards her after Zhong Bai slowly landed, she couldn't help but say, "Qing'er, how could you be so naughty as to make your martial uncle bring you here?"

Xiao Qing'er's argument was incredibly logical and well-founded.

"Father, Qing'er has never flown before, like a bird. What's wrong with Qing'er asking Uncle to take her flying once?"

Lin Fengjiao was speechless. This reason was very compelling; at least Lin Fengjiao thought it made sense.

"Junior Brother Qianhe, you've arrived..."

"Senior Brother Lin, are you not late?" "No, no, Master Qianhe, you've arrived just in time. Your presence is a blessing accumulated over three lifetimes by my Ren family. Please, have a seat here!"

Ren Fa looked at the security captain, Awei, behind him and ordered, "Awei, hurry up and give Master Qianhe a seat!"

Originally, Awei was incredibly prestigious as the captain of the security team in Renjia Town. However, now Awei is shocked by Zhong Bai's existence. He has lost his former domineering attitude and is now all smiles and obedient.

"Don't worry, Uncle, please take a seat, Master!"

Zhong Bai nodded without refusing, and then sat down in the chair that Awei had prepared, pulling Xiao Qing'er over to sit down with him.

Since the coffin was to be opened, it wouldn't be appropriate for Xiao Qing'er to watch over it, so they simply placed her by their side.

After Zhong Bai sat down, Master Ren began to seriously open the coffin and examine the body.

"Uncle Jiu, what do you think?"

Zhong Bai was just there to watch the show; it was Lin Fengjiao who actually did the work.

"Mr. Ren, we can begin."

After saying that, Lin Fengjiao looked at the group of men carrying tools and said, "Everyone, come and offer incense to Old Master Ren. After you offer incense, you can start working."

After everyone finished offering incense, the tombstone was knocked down, and several men began digging.

In no time at all, they dug out Old Master Ren's coffin.

Without needing to open the coffin, Zhong Bai could use his divine sense to detect from about a hundred meters away that Old Master Ren's corpse was already at the limit of a jumping zombie, almost turning into a bronze-armored corpse. Perhaps it could transform if it could absorb the blood of its closest relatives.

Those born in the years of the Rooster, Ox, or Dog should avoid this area.

"The rest of you, you may open the coffins."

Without a trace of ink, the moment the coffin was opened, a thick aura of death leaked out, causing Lin Fengjiao to frown slightly.

Fortunately, Ren Fa has now agreed to burn it, otherwise Old Master Ren might have risen from the dead.

If it continues to absorb the blood of its closest relatives, it will surely break through the copper-armored corpse, at which point it will be quite difficult to kill.

When the coffin was opened, the sight of the corpse, which showed absolutely no signs of decay, sent chills down Ren Fa's spine, and even the burly men beside him.

"Uncle Jiu's condition..."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fengjiao decided to give Mr. Ren a proper explanation.

"That's right, Mr. Ren!"

Your father has already turned into a corpse; he hasn't decomposed for twenty years, which is not what a normal corpse should be like.

After a moment's thought, Lin Fengjiao continued, "Master Ren, your father's tomb was originally meant to be a dragonfly skimming the water, but the feng shui master covered it with cement, so not only can it not be used for water-skimming, but there are probably some evil spirits and poisonous creatures at the bottom of the tomb used to gather the evil energy from the surrounding area."

"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. The worst thing is if they die before death but don't stiffen, then accumulate corpse energy after encountering malevolent forces, and over time, this is the inevitable outcome."

Ren Fa had no more doubts. At this moment, all the talk about his father being afraid of fire was nonsense. He couldn't rest easy without burning it, and he couldn't protect Tingting without burning it. Ren Fa's eyes were fierce as he said, "Ninth Uncle, you can handle it with confidence!"

Now that my father has become a zombie, my Ren family will certainly not aid and abet evil!

Ren Fa's words sounded high-sounding, but he achieved his goal: the sedan chair carriers around him would surely spread his words.

At least no one will accuse him of disregarding blood ties and burning his own father's body, which will be used to criticize Ren Fa from behind.

"Treating a tiny hopping zombie is easy, isn't it?"

Just then, Zhong Bai's voice rang in Lin Fengjiao and Master Ren's ears.

The next second, they saw Zhong Bai, who was sitting a hundred meters away, flick a flame from his fingertip and it landed on the coffin in front of them. In an instant, the flame encountered the corpse energy as if it had encountered fuel, and in a whoosh, the flame engulfed the entire coffin.

A shrill scream came from the coffin. It was the roar of Old Master Ren's corpse. He had not yet woken up when he was burned to unbearable pain by Zhong Bai's Samadhi Fire. However, the struggle was only for a moment. How could Old Master Ren's jumping corpse withstand the terror of Samadhi Fire?
In less than half an incense stick's time, the coffin and the coffin were burned to ashes.

After doing all this, Zhong Bai picked up Lin Qing'er from beside him, and with a flying sword beneath his feet, he rode away from the graveyard.

By the time Lin Fengjiao and Master Ren realized what was happening, Zhong Bai had already vanished without a trace.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Uncle Nine, this is incredible! This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my entire life!"

Lin Fengjiao nodded and said, "The supernatural power just now was my junior brother Qianhe's Samadhi Fire. It burned your father's body very quickly. Master Ren, let's end things here."

All we need to do is collect your father's ashes for burial.

After saying that, Lin Fengjiao began to give instructions to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who were standing to the side.

"You two offer incense to the graves around here; it's not easy for you to make this trip..."

"Alright, Master?"

After Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai separated, they began to offer incense on the mountain.

However, soon Qiu Sheng arrived at the grave of a young woman.

"Dong Xiaoyu? She died at only twenty years old. What a pity! Let's burn some incense!"

Qiu Sheng felt sorry for the other woman, thinking that she was already past her prime at the age of twenty, and he couldn't bear to see her like that.

However, just as Qiu Sheng finished offering incense and was about to leave, he heard a voice behind him.

"Thank you!"

For a moment, Qiu Sheng was stunned, but he quickly recovered and said calmly without turning around, "No need to thank me, may you be reincarnated soon, young lady."

After saying that, Qiu Sheng left.
