There's something wrong with me

Chapter 184 Big Harvest

Ten miles away.

Fifty meters down from Laoqing Mountain.

This is an ancient tomb dating back nine hundred years, possibly to the Song Dynasty.

"Blood Spirit Refining Technique? The owner of this tomb was a martial arts alliance leader in the Jianghu? Nicknamed... Chief Xun?"

now.

The location of the main burial chamber.

Six tomb raiders, their mouths and noses wrapped in specially made silk scarves, were looking at a well-preserved bamboo book.

It is entirely irrigated with a special tree sap and sealed in a small jar containing a certain liquid.

Although the liquid inside had dried, the bamboo book remained as good as new, and the writing on it was still clearly visible.

By the light of a kerosene lamp.

Besides seeing the name of the tomb's occupant, they also saw that this place used to be called 'Cloud Mist Manor'.

Although I don't know why it has turned into a mountain now, perhaps this Cloud Mist Villa was built against the mountain.

After all, the name contains the character for 'mountain'.

So they weren't very curious about that; instead, they searched for other jars in the fire-lit tomb chamber, hoping to find something else.

In the center of the tomb, there is a coffin.

At the same time, a young tomb raider was casting spells and incantations, affixing talismans above the coffin to ward off evil spirits and prevent the corpse from rising from the ground.

"Raising a corpse" means the dead come back to life.

"The yin energy here is too heavy."

The young man pasted the talisman while observing his surroundings.

His eyes were covered with a layer of gray water, which shimmered under the light and seemed to shift as the water rippled, making them look somewhat eerie.

However, it is aided by the Yin water gathered by the 'Guan Sha Talisman'.

However, he could see the malevolent aura permeating the air.

These malevolent energies slowly gathered and gradually seeped into the coffin.

At this moment, another tomb raider looked at the young man and asked curiously, "Young Taoist priest, have you ever seen a thousand-year-old corpse rise from the dead?"

"No," the young man said, drawing a talisman, "and I don't want to see him either."

"Who wants to see them?" The tomb raider shook his head and asked again, "These corpses have been dead for decades or even centuries. How did they come back to life?"
"Since you specialize in the art of malevolent energy, you must have learned something like corpse-raising techniques, right?"

Although the tomb raiders were asking questions, and the others were still searching for other bamboo books, they all pricked up their ears and looked towards the young man, eager to hear his answer.

Of course, they were more focused on the coffins in the young man's hands.

This is the most dangerous thing in the entire tomb.

As for the mechanisms along the way, most of them were broken.

Since they were all cultivators, they basically forced their way through.

At this moment again.

When the young man heard the question of how a corpse could be resurrected, he was reluctant to answer.

There was silence for a while.

The only sounds left in the tomb were the sounds of rummaging through earthenware pots and drawing talismans.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too oppressive.

He was also afraid that these temporary partners would 'isolate' him.

The young man broke the silence and asked, "Do you know about the Corpse-Driving Sect?"

During the silence and conversation, he spent another ten minutes drawing a talisman for exorcising evil spirits with a single stroke.

"Of course we know," one of them replied. "We deal with tombs and corpses every day, so we definitely know about the Corpse-Driving Sect."

Sometimes we even go there to learn from their experience.

"The Corpse-Driving Sect?" The other man looked at the young man suspiciously. "You're so skilled in Yin Sha magic, could it be... that you used to be a member of the Corpse-Driving Sect? And you were expelled, so you don't want to talk about it?"

"Yes." The young man, seeing that the matter was out in the open, did not hide anything. "I used to be."

As he spoke, he looked at the coffin again, “The reason why the corpse is resurrected seems mysterious to you is because you do not have the Yin Sha Eye technique and cannot see the evil energy in the air.”

And I can see these malevolent energies.

You can also see the corpse-driving technique. It seems that the corpses being driven have been "resurrected," but in reality, it is my "fellow disciples" who are controlling them with Yin energy.

However, if the evil energy stays inside a corpse for a long time, it will nurture tiny things that are invisible to the naked eye (various kinds of bacteria).

They are affected by evil energy and coexist with corpses.

Over time, under the influence of the evil energy, the corpses did not decompose, and they also developed some subtle intelligence that only knew how to 'eat'.

These tiny objects merged with the malevolent energy and resided within the symbiotic corpse.

When the malevolent energy develops spirituality, it eventually controls the corpse.

That is, what you call zombie transformation.

The young man spoke eloquently, leaving these people stunned.

at the same time.

The 'side room' is next to the main tomb.

Zhang Feng has already arrived with his men and is listening to his theory.

"This person is amazing..." Lin Daoyou and the others exclaimed, never expecting that there was such a person among the tomb raiders.

Although he was far inferior to Senior Zhang, he was still much better than them.

Zhang Feng, meanwhile, was setting up a spiritual energy barrier to prevent the sounds from leaking out, while pondering the young man's words.

As for tomb exploration and treasure hunting, that's best left to the professionals in the main burial chamber.

Wait until they've figured out the mechanism before you go over.

Thinking.

Zhang Feng's spiritual sense could see through the walls and into the main tomb chamber.

They also saw these tomb raiders continuing to question the young man, discussing some more profound principles of corpse resurrection.

Zhang Feng naturally learned while waiting.

Then, through the explanation of corpse-driving by the young man.

Zhang Feng discovered that he was indeed very insightful, and not much worse than the 'oceanic heretical cultivators'.

It seems that the higher the level of the world, the more talented people there are.

Or perhaps they are talented individuals, which is why they achieved such high levels of education.

Zhang Feng had also learned about the corpse-driving sects of this world.

If the malevolent energy could be seen, then the corpse-driving sect in this world would indeed be unique.

It belongs to the category of self-created 'yin evil eyes'.

This needs to be copied, and his talismans also need to be copied.

Subsequently.

After Zhang Feng's spiritual sense swept over the talismans on the coffin, he reached into the coffin and looked at the 'nine-hundred-year-old corpse' that had not decayed.

Their caution was justified; there was indeed something wrong with the body.

It's just that the words 'Master Xun' and 'Cloud Mist Manor' are different.

Zhang Feng felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before.

I do know about the Blood Spirit Cultivation Method; that's what I practiced in the Prince's World.

I never imagined such a thing existed in this world.

Then, this cultivation method and the Blood Spirit are together.

Zhang Feng felt that this Xun Gang Leader must be an old friend of his.

Simultaneously.

As Zhang Feng recalled who this person was.

The talisman drawn by the young man was insufficient to suppress this 'zombie' that had absorbed nine hundred years of malevolent energy.

Even if the spiritual energy here is not high, quantity can lead to quality.

Furthermore, with the opening of the main tomb, numerous subordinates poured in, stimulating the pure malevolent energy and causing a certain elemental vibration.

At this moment, while several tomb raiders were searching for treasures, the young man was continuing to draw talismans.

Wow—

The coffin lid was suddenly flung open, the heavy force shattering all the talismans on it.

Even though the young man had been on guard the whole time, he only had time to take half a step back in the face of such a sudden change.

boom!
With a muffled thud, the coffin lid struck his arms as he instinctively tried to block, fracturing both arms and sending him slamming against the wall.

Huhu—

On the other side of the wall, Zhang Feng saw a lot of dust falling on his side, which told him that the impact was quite powerful.

"Zombies!"

At the same time, several tomb raiders inside the tomb cried out in surprise as they saw a completely black 'person' standing up in a stiff motion.

Its facial features were no longer discernible; its entire body was a muddy black, as if it had turned to wax.

call-

Although it had no facial features, upon hearing the exclamation, it rushed straight out of the coffin and arrived in front of a tomb raider in the next instant, its palm, strengthened by the evil energy, easily piercing through his chest.

As the zombie withdrew its hand, visible black smoke billowed from the tomb raider's chest, corroded by malevolent energy.

"run!"

"Corpse King..."

After a moment of hesitation, most of the people rushed towards the entrance of the tomb.

The young man saw a nearly thousand-year-old zombie appear, and like everyone else, he endured the pain to get up and then ran away without thinking.

Given the unknown nature of this life form and its terrifying skill and speed, they didn't want to risk their lives.

"Give me back my brother's life!"

But one cultivator, consumed by rage, brandished his refined divine weapon, and with the cold blade gleaming under the aura of spiritual energy, slashed at the zombie's neck.

This one strike could easily cut through a solid iron pipe as thick as a thumb.

Hearing the shout, everyone glanced down as they ran toward the tomb entrance.

If their companions can kill the zombies, then they won't run away.

嗤—

It only penetrated an inch into the zombie's flesh after striking its neck, severing half of the neck.

What would be fatal to an ordinary person had no effect on the zombie. Instead, it grabbed at the face of the cultivator with its palm and tore off a large part of it.

"Escape...escape..."

When the others saw that the zombies were 'immortal,' they were so terrified that they dared not linger.

But they had just reached the door.

A figure flashed by.

Zhang Feng arrived at the door and looked at the zombie chasing after them. 'Its constitution should be around 220, but its physical strength and lack of a fatal weakness are rather peculiar.'

Zhang Feng glanced at it a few times and felt that this creature should be the 'conceptual life form' in the Corpse Refining Technique.

"bad!"

The tomb raiders were in a state of panic, and when they saw Zhang Feng suddenly appear, they instinctively stopped, thinking that another zombie had come from outside.

However, before they could get a good look at it...

With a thought from Zhang Fengling, these people were as if controlled, pushed to both sides by an irresistible force.

next second.

Zhang Feng approached the zombie and, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, covered his palm with the spiritual energy structure of earth spikes, easily decapitating the zombie.

The zombie was not dead yet, and its hand was still reaching for Zhang Feng's face.

Boom!
A muffled thud, like leather striking steel, echoed through the tomb.

Zhang Feng clashed head-on with the zombie, using his forearm to block its palm strike at its wrist.

With Zhang Feng's current physical strength and his mastery of corpse refining techniques, he is actually even stronger than that.

With a solid, concentrated weight of nearly 800 pounds, enhanced by various techniques, it is far superior to the method of refining corpses with evil energy.

Its weight is only a little over 300 pounds, and it is entirely reinforced by its malevolent energy.

In Zhang Feng's view, it was "all bark and no bite".

Wow!

After observation and comparison.

Amidst the even more stunned gazes of the crowd, Zhang Feng slapped his palm onto its severed neck, instantly shattering its malevolent aura.

Plop—

The nine-hundred-year-old zombie, capable of indiscriminately slaughtering cultivators, was easily killed by Zhang Feng.

"You've been robbing tombs! Come with me to see the officials."

Zhang Feng, with a calm and collected demeanor, used his spiritual energy to gather all the bamboo books they had collected to his side.

Just then, another sound of footsteps rang out, and Fellow Daoist Lin and the others arrived to help Zhang Feng pack up the bamboo books.

"saved……"

"Going to jail is better than dying here..."

The tomb raiders breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had escaped a disaster.

They looked at Zhang Feng with curiosity and respect, wondering when such an extraordinary person had appeared in the cultivation world.

But as Lin Daoyou and the others began to address Zhang Feng...

They then realized who Zhang Feng was: General Hang's 'chief retainer'!

Many cultivators and generals knew that Zhang Feng had become a retainer of General Hang.

They just didn't know their specific strength.

……

On the way to the nearest city.

After inquiring about the talismans used by these people, Zhang Feng obtained several basic construction methods.

This is a great achievement.

Their knowledge is far more valuable than their graves.

As for the books in the tomb, they were of little use; they were more like burial objects, describing the glorious life of the tomb's occupant.

Zhang Feng also read it.

Knowing that this person was a leader of a martial arts alliance nine hundred years ago and intended to overthrow the imperial court, he was a rebel.

But he ultimately failed and fled to Russia and North Korea.

When he was about to die of old age, he chose to return to his roots, but he was buried in an anonymous place.

After reading these...

Zhang Feng thought for a moment, and suddenly realized who he was.

If I'm not mistaken.

Then he is the 'Jianghu, Xun Gang Leader' in another time and space.

That is, one of the two people from the prince's world who ran away to a foreign country.

Unexpectedly, in this world, he is still doing the same thing, determined to assassinate the emperor and restore freedom to the martial arts world.

But now we know he went to Russia and North Korea.

The situation is probably roughly the same within the world of princes.

Then, once your spiritual awareness is higher, you can go and look for it.

After all, there are still many things to arrange in reality, and it will take some time to search after returning to the prince's world.

This time also takes up real time.

The physical constitution of the princes in the world is not high either, so they can cultivate and search for more time. Two or three years may not be enough.

We can only see if time in the real world will increase further when we reach level seven.

Otherwise, there would be too much to do.

After thinking about this matter.

Zhang Feng then looked at the tomb raiders who were following him.

The way they looked at me was a mixture of fear and curiosity.

And now, on the way to the city.

They also asked themselves the question of how to kill zombies.

I did not answer them.

But the young man seemed to know.

That's correct, because his eyes can see the malevolent energy.

You can also see that when Zhang Feng struck down with his palm, the zombie's entire malevolent aura dissipated.

'Evil energy' is equivalent to the 'soul' of a zombie.

Zhang Feng dispersed the zombie's soul.

For these amateur tomb raiders, even though they had visited many tombs and seen slow-moving zombies, they were still quite unfamiliar with the subject.

However, since the evil energy cannot be seen, the specific reason is unknown.

They only knew that exorcism talismans could suppress corpses, but they didn't know the underlying principle. In fact, the talisman interrupted the spirituality of the evil energy, thereby severing the evil energy's control over the corpse.

Those who follow the corpse-driving school all know this principle, but they generally don't talk about it.

Once the fundamental principles were understood, the Corpse-Driving Sect lost its mystique.

Of course, even if others know the principle, they cannot manipulate the evil energy or draw talismans to ward it off.

So knowing it won't help.

In Zhang Feng's view...

In this world, cultivators cultivate according to their own elemental affinities.

To become an apprentice of the Corpse-Driving Sect, one must first possess a 'Yin Sha Body'.

Fellow Daoist Lin is a genius, and it was by chance that he switched from the Earth element to the Yin Earth method.

……

A few days later.

After handing the tomb robbers over to the authorities, Zhang Feng stayed in the city and did not return to the general's mansion.

First, I need to organize the talisman gains I've made over the past few days.

Secondly, after encountering zombies, he further optimized his own corpse-refining technique.

Third, there isn't much time left. After a month or two of preparation, we'll set off from here and head straight for Yangshan.

The schedule is packed.

Originally intended to help me relax and unwind, it turned out that in the past two years I had engaged in a massive memory storm and even tried to calculate my spiritual consciousness.

In the end, not only did the inner demons not decrease, they actually increased by 15%, almost reaching 95%.

It's okay, don't panic if it's less than 120%.

It now takes 120% to affect cultivation.

Because spiritual awareness has been awakened, subtle control has improved, and consequently, the upper limit of inner demon value has also increased.

Otherwise, if there is no spiritual consciousness.

It's already 95%! I should start to panic now.

……

Another ten days.

Regarding the replication of talismans, Zhang Feng hadn't fully mastered the talisman for suppressing evil spirits, but he felt it could be used to create various types of talismans.

This relates to structural decomposition. I have done research on various spikes before and have some experience in this area, so I think it is highly likely to be achievable.

This talisman is mainly used to stop the movement of various spiritual elements, similar to the legendary 'immobilization spell'.

Afterwards, if everything goes smoothly, and various towns can be formed with similar structures, then the Yin Sha Eye can also be used to deduce 'various eyes'.

Relatively speaking, as long as all the eyes are activated, one can replicate the 'yin-yang eyes' from the rule entry.

This ability to see the flow of spiritual energy through the Yin-Yang eye is indeed very powerful.

Furthermore, if one wants to create a 'superconducting reality array', then it is best if the staff have 'spiritual eyes' that can see 'attributeless spiritual energy'.

Also, the dead tomb raider whose face was half torn off by a zombie, the weapon he enchanted was actually a half-finished 'spiritual artifact'.

If you haven't obtained any spiritual artifacts within Yangshan, you can try continuing the calculations.

It's a small safety net.

There are also exorcising talismans, which disperse nearby evil energy and prevent it from accumulating. This is quite interesting, like a formalization of 'silence' and 'magic suppression'.

Or rather, within these rules of supernatural powers, there are rudiments of minor spells.

It is indeed a kind of 'foundation'.

Zhang Feng felt that he should collect more of these 'one-stroke' techniques.

It just so happens that General Tao, who has a great power and many cultivators under his command, is stationed in the city outside Yangshan, seemingly still not giving up on the treasure.

He might have a lot of one-stroke talismans.

Also today.

Zhang Feng went to the guest room next door and called Lin Daoyou and his companion over.
"Let's set off to Yangshan to find General Tao."

"Looking for him?" Fellow Daoist Lin didn't quite understand.

"Brother Dao," the Daoist said with some fear, "he has many cultivators under his command."

Even a hero can't fight off four hands with two fists, let alone a group of cultivators and tens of thousands of guns.

“Yes, they have a lot of people.” Zhang Feng didn’t care. “But I can handle it alone. Let’s go, take the two fellow Daoists to seek justice from them.”
