Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 583 Fu Changxin. (First update!)

A moment later, the transmission ended, and Zheng Que thoughtfully put away the transmission jade talisman.

Fu Tao spoke nicely, but in reality, he didn't directly tell him where the opportunity lay. Instead, he only provided a location to meet up with the Fu family.

The specifics of the so-called opportunity will be explained in detail once he arrives at the destination.

However, these are all just human nature.

Or rather, this is normal.

Furthermore, judging from Fu Tao's words, it seems that quite a few candidates are aware of this opportunity.

For example, the Zhuo family of Yanzhou, who had shown obvious hostility towards the Fu family, also received news of this opportunity...

After organizing all the information, Zheng Que pondered deeply.

Although he doesn't know the specific details of this opportunity yet, the fact that it has alarmed so many forces means that its authenticity is beyond doubt!

The question now is, did he go there alone?

Should we bring Mu Xiangu, Luo Fuyu, and [Evil Shadow Play] along with them?
Ok……

If he really takes the ghosts from the Iron Tree Prison there, the Core Formation stage cultivators from other forces will definitely try to take action.

Moreover, most of the Core Formation stage cultivators will gather together to deal with the ghosts in the Iron Tree Prison first.

More importantly, it would be too risky for him to go there in person.

However, if only the [Demon Soul Substitute] is used, the main body will definitely need to be protected by the ghosts of the [Iron Tree Prison]...

After much deliberation, Zheng Que finally made a decision: he would not take Mu Xiangu, Luo Fuyu, or [Evil Shadow Play] with him.

This opportunity is, after all, the tomb of a high-level cultivator; who knows what dangers might lie inside?
What if a corpse puppet of level [Nemesis Prison] or higher appears?
For safety's sake, the main body stayed behind at Zheng's Market, while the main body used its own [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet] to take the "Demon in the Belly" of [Iron Tree Prison] with it.

If something goes wrong with the [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet], at most you'll only lose a few soul puppets.

If the "Delta Force within" is lost inside, it means that the opportunity was not something he could possibly grasp with his current strength...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately waved the soul-summoning banner in his hand, summoning all the ghost servants inside.

He then spent considerable time casting the [Wrathful Soul Seal], [Blood Gaze Technique], and [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet] on these ghost servants.

After completing all the spells, he took out a soul-nourishing bag and collected all the ghost servants inside.

The next moment, a ghost servant exactly like him appeared quietly in the cultivation room.

This is the first soul puppet he just crafted using the [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet], and the "Demon Within" is inside this soul puppet.

Zheng Que handed the soul-nourishing bag to the soul puppet, then closed his eyes slightly and cast an ancient incantation.

Under his control, the soul puppet immediately took a step and fled outside.

Whoosh!
The Soul Puppet used the [Yin God's Wandering] technique, passing through numerous obstacles in the blink of an eye and appearing directly outside the market. Blood mist immediately rushed towards him, the mist, wrapped in baleful energy, was cold and sharp, surging like lake water covered with ice shards.

Zheng Que stood at the entrance of Zheng's Market and looked back. The plaque above originally had the four characters "Zheng's Market" written in a neat and elegant style, but now the character "Zheng" was marked with a red cross, and below it was a very neatly written character "Shu".

However, the character "舒" is currently marked with a red cross, and next to it is a crookedly written character "罗"...

Looking at the plaque that had been altered twice, Zheng Que frowned slightly.

But he has important matters to attend to now and can only deal with them after he returns.

Thinking this, Zheng Que shook his head, not lingering any longer. After confirming his location, he manipulated his soul puppet, once again using [Yin Spirit Travel], to flee towards the agreed-upon location with the Fu clan. ※※※

The blood mist receded past my ears, and within the mist, bizarre and grotesque creatures, along with various terrain features, all rushed backward.

Zheng Que controlled the soul puppet and sped along at lightning speed, arriving at a small lake in no time.

This lake is shaped like a teardrop, with crystal-clear water and no trace of blood mist above it, making it a rare spot in Xue Tong Pass with a slightly open view.

At this moment, a dozen or so cultivators, some sitting and some standing, were gathered by the lake, vaguely divided into two factions, chatting animatedly. The atmosphere seemed quite lively.

The two groups were quite large, and their clothing, aura, and appearance were very similar, clearly indicating that they came from the same family and had a close blood relationship. They surrounded a young man wearing a bamboo-green robe with auspicious cloud patterns and an amber crown. He had a straight nose, a square mouth, and bright eyes. His aura indicated that he was at the late Foundation Establishment stage. When they talked, he had a pleasant expression and appeared extremely confident and composed.

Among the people surrounding him was Fu Tao.

Clearly, this young man in the bamboo-green robe is the eldest son of the Fu clan, the main representative of the Fu clan of Luanzhou participating in this immortal examination.

Another group of cultivators, not only slightly fewer in number but also with more mixed cultivation auras, all wore respectful expressions. This attitude was not only directed at the Fu Clan's patriarch but also at other Fu Clan cultivators, revealing a subconscious fear and awe. Judging from their words and actions, they were mostly examinees from Luanzhou.

At this moment, noticing Zheng Que's arrival, Fu Tao immediately stepped forward from the crowd and greeted him with a smile.

Of all the candidates summoned by the Fu family this time, Zheng Que is the strongest!
When he last visited Zheng Que's market, although he didn't see the other party make a move, either of the two female ghosts beside him was stronger than him.

More importantly, after he returned and reported the matter to the eldest son, the eldest son also attached great importance to Zheng Que.

However, the reason why the clan leader valued Zheng Que was not because of the two female ghost servants beside him, but because he had received news from the clan that this Zheng Que was a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator!
He is one of the strongest candidates in the imperial examination this time!

While pondering, Fu Tao quickly took a few steps and arrived in front of Zheng Que. He bowed deeply to Zheng Que and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, you have finally arrived!"

Zheng Que remained calm. Once he was certain that the other party had not seen through his [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet], he felt relieved. He controlled the soul puppet to stand still and casually replied, "Since you invited me, I will naturally come."

"But where is that opportunity?"

"Could you perhaps elaborate on the specifics now?"

Fu Tao smiled and raised his hand to greet the guest, then transmitted his voice, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I don't know much about this matter either."

"However, this time the head of the Fu family is personally leading the team, and he knows the ins and outs better than anyone else."

"Please, fellow Daoist, come and discuss this further."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly and then followed Fu Tao toward the young man in the bamboo-green robe.

At this moment, the other cultivators also noticed Fu Tao's unusual eagerness. After exchanging glances, they all subconsciously made way for him.

Zheng Que, with a calm expression, strode to a spot not far from the young man in the bamboo green robe before slowly stopping. The two exchanged a glance, and Fu Tao immediately introduced him: "Young Master, this is Fellow Daoist Zheng Que. Fellow Daoist Zheng has outstanding cultivation, a strong sense of justice, and dislikes the Zhuo family's arrogance."

He then said to Zheng Que, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, this is the current patriarch of the Fu clan of Luanzhou."

Upon hearing this, the young man in the bamboo-green robe smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, it's a pleasure to meet you! I am Fu Changxin from Luanzhou."

“My younger brother told me you’re a straightforward person, so I won’t beat around the bush either.”

"It seems that someone deliberately spread the news about this opportunity, and now a large number of people know about it; it's practically no secret anymore."

"To verify whether the opportunity is real or not, I have already sent someone to check."

"My trusted confidant just sent a telepathic message saying that he hasn't found anything wrong and there are probably some good things inside. However, there are many ghosts around, so it might not be easy to get in."

"Of course, with such a strong support as Fellow Daoist Zheng, this trip will surely be safe and successful!"
