Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 245 Corpse Savings
After Zhong Yi left, Xiao Ran half leaned on the table and took out the small notebook.

The notebook contains all the goals that Xiao Ran had written before.

Breakthrough in master-level suturing skills, upgrade the Evil-Suppression Order, and so on.

These goals have now been achieved, and Xiao Ran turned to the next page.

He took out a pen and squinted his eyes as he wrote the new goal on it.

The difference from last time is that this time the targets are all trivial things.

1: Move back all the furniture that was not moved into Guling Street last time.

There's no rush for this, it's a piece of cake.

2; Continue to collect the talismans.

Last time, because of something that happened at Uncle Fang’s home, Xiao Ran was unable to collect enough talismans in the following days.

Now that I have some free time, collecting talismans will be my most important task every day.

3: Carefully study [The Autopsy Record]

There are many techniques in the Record of Corpse Exorcism. This is considered the unique skills of their lineage of corpse-encounterers. It is one of the few techniques. The most important thing is that this thing does not require the assistance of cursed objects. It is purely your own power. The more you learn, the more power you will have when dealing with variables in the future.

4: Go to the archives and find out the current situation of other people and their family members.

The reason why Xiao Ran was so concerned about this matter was, on the one hand, curiosity, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could find some other evidence to help his grandfather and the others resolve their worries.

Shou Ye, that is, Sun Miao back then. According to the memories that Li Jingqi left for himself, the events of that year were secretly pushed by Sun Miao’s grandfather, and their family was the real culprit.

It is normal for his grandfather and his people to hate Li Jingqi, but if possible, Xiao Ran also wants his grandfather to know the truth of what happened back then.

5: Upgrade [Evil Suppression Order]

Ever since the last upgrade of the Suppressing Evil Order, he has not had the opportunity to accumulate the energy value of the Suppressing Evil Order to 1000 to trigger the upgrade conditions.

During this period of time, I need to work hard to find more corpses.

6: Stitch up Beast Master’s body.

In theory, Beast Master is the biggest gain of this trip to Dream Pool.

In the eyes of others, Beast Master is just a corpse, but in Xiao Ran's eyes, it is a treasure trove that can be sustainably excavated.

But Xiao Ran put it last precisely because Beast Master was too powerful and he was not ready yet. Moreover, once a C-level corpse became weird, he might not be able to handle it alone.

Therefore, Xiao Ran put Beast Master at the end, intending to upgrade [Evil-Suppressing Order] to D-level first.

Looking at the six small goals written in the notebook, Xiao Ran suddenly felt more at ease.

Xiao Ran already knew what to do next.

When I returned from Bone Spirit Street this time, I was given a cooling-off period of 12 days, which was neither too long nor too short, and was just enough to handle these trivial matters.

Of course, if necessary, Xiao Ran would have no problem staying in reality for longer, but after staying there for too long, it’s inevitable that he would feel a little...uncomfortable.

After finishing the noodles in the bowl, Xiao Ran started to get busy.

The store door is open and business is normal.

He sat behind the counter, holding the "Autopsy Record" and began to read it carefully.

There are actually not many magic techniques in the Record of the Exorcism of Corpses, only eight in total.

Corpse evil arrow, corpse coffin suppression, corpse dust curse, soul binding, half-door yin and yang, corpse pool, sea of sin, nameless.

After reading it once, you will basically have a general idea of it. There are comments left by the master written next to it. If you don’t understand, just read the comments.

But it is easy to get started, but difficult to master.

Especially the magic techniques in the last three chapters, even with the annotations left by his master, Xiao Ran still felt a little confused.

The corpse pool is not difficult to understand. With itself as the center, it attracts the corpse qi around it and turns it into a corpse pool.

In the corpse pool, everyone will be affected by the corpse qi, and the power of the spells they cast will be increased several times.

The master had used this magic in Yi Zhuang and Beimang Mountain. The first time in Yi Zhuang, it was dispersed by Li Jingqi's kick. The second time in Beimang Mountain, the master directly drew all the corpse qi from Beimang Mountain here, and then took Li Jingqi away.

So although Xiao Ran was confused when reading this magic technique, he could still guess the general idea in his mind.

But the sea of sin that follows is rather strange.

"Invisible and without shadow, the karma burns the body, and one is deeply trapped in it, with no way out." Looking at this description, it seems quite powerful, but the method of cultivation is confusing.

The master beside him was afraid that Xiao Ran couldn't see it, so he deliberately used bold handwriting to leave a more straightforward comment:
"I do not know either!"

When I turned to the next article, it didn't even have a title, and even half of the content was blurry.

Xiao Ran first looked at the annotations, and sure enough, there were still four words: "Master didn't teach you."

Well, since his master's master didn't teach him, Xiao Ran didn't expect his grandfather to be able to do it. He decided to practice the first few chapters until he was proficient in them in the next few days.

Later, Xiao Ran called Uncle Li and asked him to find more troublesome corpses so that he could accumulate energy for the Suppressing Evil Order.

Uncle Li wished Xiao Ran could come and help him more often, so he agreed repeatedly.

With Xiao Ran's support, Uncle Li felt more confident when competing with other uncles for business.

In the evening, Xiao Ran rode a shared bicycle to the wholesale market.

It has been a while since I last left Uncle Fang's house. When Xiao Ran arrived, Uncle Fang immediately came up to him with a smile: "Boy, I haven't seen you for many days. If you don't come again, I will go find you."

It was natural for Uncle Fang to be so enthusiastic. After all, Xiao Ran saved their family's lives.

If Xiao Ran had not taken action that night, Uncle Fang would probably have seen his wife and daughter's heads chopped off by him when he woke up the next morning.

"I have something to do these days, so I have to go out for a while."

Xiao Ran explained with a smile.

"Come on, let me introduce you to a big order. This will be enough for you to practice for a while."

Uncle Fang pulled Xiao Ran towards the cold storage at the back.

Then he asked someone to open the cold storage. Xiao Ran took a look inside and saw that it was full of corpses of various animals.

Peacock, antelope, lion, tiger.

This made Xiao Ran very surprised, because this thing is a protected animal in China.

"Uncle Fang, this..."

"Don't worry. These are all animal materials that have procedures and are legal and compliant. They are meant to be made into specimens. These animals all died of natural causes in the zoo." Uncle Fang was afraid that Xiao Ran wouldn't believe it, so he pointed to the report hanging on the wall.

Then he explained to Xiao Ran: "You have an impression of my girl, right?"

"Um...yes."

Xiao Ran remembered the woman who was possessed by the old ghost that night. She was a little older than him.

"My uncle is the person in charge of the largest specimen production base in the country. After you saved our family's life last time, my daughter knew that you needed corpses. She was worried that I didn't have enough corpses, so she deliberately took these specimens around and stored them in my cold storage. In the future, a batch of animal corpses will be delivered every once in a while. We will be responsible for disposing of the internal organs, and you can sew up the rest as you like."

After saying that, he complained, "It's a good thing you came today. If you were two days later, the goods would have been shipped away. If you wanted to sew it then, you would have to wait more than a week."

"Haha, I came at the right time then."

Xiao Ran grinned and stared at the corpses of the animals in front of him, his eyes shining with brilliance.

Uncle Fang and Xiao Ran explained some precautions and then turned and left.

Xiao Ran can handle the rest of the things by himself.

Putting your hands on the fur of these wild animals, you can feel the firm muscle outlines underneath through the fur, which is not comparable to that of ordinary domestic animals.

Take out the [Evil-Suppressing Order] and fuse it with the spell pattern [Scholar]

As the spell patterns flowed into the [Evil-Suppressing Order], a light blue glow appeared on the [Evil-Suppressing Order],

E-level cursed item: [Scholar of the Suppression Order]

Privilege 1: Corpse Savings

When sewing a corpse, the basic attributes of the corpse can be absorbed as reserve attributes.

Reserve attributes: You can temporarily improve your own attributes.

Duration: 30 minutes
Privilege 1: Beginner's Luck
When you are sewing a corpse and encounter a curse, you can activate this privilege to gain luck and make the curse effect ineffective.

Duration: 30 minutes.

Cooling time: 24 hours.

This is the first skill created by the fusion of the Suppression Order and the Scholar after it was upgraded to E-level.

Although it is still essentially about absorbing the properties of corpses, compared to the original talisman, it is not only more flexible, but it can also enhance its own properties at will when needed.

"So timely!"

A look of joy appeared on Xiao Ran's face. With enough attribute reserves, coupled with the [Spiritual Clothes], it was enough for him to burst out with extraordinary combat power within a period of time.

By then, even if Xiao Ran faces Taurus again, he will not be afraid of him at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran immediately took out the needle and thread and began to prepare to work late into the night, trying to sew up all the bodies in one night.

It has to be said that these animals are indeed different from domestic animals. After Xiao Ran’s first stitch, he immediately gained 3 points of attribute reserve.

3 points may not seem like much, but this is just the benefit of one stitch.

Because these corpses are used as specimens and do not need to be used as food, Xiao Ran will immediately suture them again in other places after suturing them.

A corpse can be sewn up twice without affecting its quality.

That is 6 points of attribute. Looking at the corpses in the warehouse, Xiao Ran was shaking with excitement and felt the blood rushing up in his body.

When it was getting light the next day and Uncle Fang came to the warehouse, Xiao Ran had just finished stitching the last corpse.

The reserve attribute of 43 points made Xiao Ran's little face blush.

"Xiao Ran, you finished sewing so quickly."

Uncle Fang looked at the stitched bodies and couldn't help but praise them, "Your craftsmanship is impeccable. My daughter had good intentions, but now it seems that you have done her a big favor."

"You're welcome." Xiao Ran stood up and said with a smile, "If my sister has any difficulties in the future, please feel free to ask. We are all family, so please don't be so formal..."

　There will be another update tonight
