Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 131 The Great Enlightenment Record

Lin Jiang unfolded the Great Book of Auspiciousness, quickly flipped through the first few pages, and his expression gradually became subtle.

This Great Compendium is not quite what Lin Jiang had imagined.

What he held was not the first half of the book recording basic cultivation, but the second half of the book on practical application.

Lacking the foundation of the first volume, he had no idea how the technique worked.

What's even more problematic is that the definitions of many key terms in the text are completely missing.

That's absolutely infuriating.

Fortunately, the specific effects of each technique are clearly listed. The six interconnected methods constitute this book of walking corpse techniques, so even if Lin Jiang cannot learn the techniques, he can at least see how effective they are.

These six methods are: carrying the soul, releasing flesh, Luo Sheng, the Three Treasures, communicating with the underworld, and the Heavenly Gate.

Lin Jiang looked at them one by one.

The Soul Carrying Technique was the method used by the lost ship yesterday. Once this technique is used, it can carry many wandering souls into things created or constructed by the sorcerer. When cultivated to perfection, one can even control souls with one hand.

If the manipulated soul is not a practitioner of the Great Dao, it is impossible to escape this spell, and its life and death are in the control of the caster.

Looking at this skill, Lin Jiang felt it looked familiar.

He then took out the tiger-patterned robe that was beside him.

"Master?"

Tiger Robe was completely baffled as to why Lin Jiang was staring at her like that, and couldn't help but feel a little shy.
"If the young master wants to do those things, I'll have to transform into a female ghost. Remember to bring a lantern; you must seduce her."

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Jiang slapped the tiger's head impatiently. "I'm asking if you know the technique of soul transport."

“Soul-carrying? You mean the art of ghost-carrying? It seems that some places do call it the art of carrying. I am Tiger, so I am naturally familiar with this method.”

really.

It is likely that the Soul-Carrying Technique originated from the tiger demon's talent, but it is even more superior to ordinary ghost-carrying techniques.

Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Humans once imitated birds to create airplanes, and similar innovations continue in this world.

The principles governing all things ultimately originate from nature.

Setting the tiger robe aside, Lin Jiang continued reading.

The practice of controlling flesh and blood is the orthodox way to control corpses, allowing one to command lifeless flesh and blood as easily as using one's own limbs, similar to the common methods used by corpse-driving people in the countryside.

The first two methods seemed unremarkable, but it was only when one turned to Luo Sheng that the methods in the Great Treatise on Enlightenment became apparent:

Luo Sheng specializes in cultivating his three souls and seven spirits, a practice similar to body tempering. Upon initial mastery, he can use the full cycle of energy three times, and upon mastery, nine times. Once released, it gathers the surrounding life force and awakens the seven spirit corpse dogs. Whether it's a dream attack, a nightmare assault, or a cunning scheme, all will be devoured and torn apart by the corpse dogs.

It's a very useful technique.

Unfortunately, most of the content requires the foundation of the first half of the book, so even if Lin Jiang wanted to learn it, he wouldn't know where to start.

The same applies to the remaining three.

The Three Treasures can reveal the three lifetimes of the deceased's reincarnation, but the practitioner cannot see themselves, nor can they perceive the living. It is not that the magic is not profound, but rather that there is currently no opportunity to use it.

It can open up the realm of darkness and yin, and gather ghosts and evil spirits.

The final Heavenly Gate leads back to the cultivation of oneself.

The soul's return to the body can open the gates of heaven; a thousand methods enter the spiritual aperture; ten thousand divine sources are transformed into one heart.

This method has no set number of uses or detailed explanation of its effects; one can only guess at what specific benefits it can achieve.

By the time Lin Jiang finished flipping through the booklet, it was already getting light outside.

It's obvious that he can't learn everything in this booklet right now; he's missing too many fundamentals, and if he insists on learning it, he might even go astray.

He thought for a moment, then showed the first few parts of the booklet to his tiger-robed servant:

"See if you can learn it?"

A semi-transparent ghost hand emerged from the tiger-robed man's mouth and took half of the book.

His eyes were lowered as he scanned the book, and after a moment, even the tiger-robed figure let out a surprised cry:
"Wonderful! Such a mysterious technique! Young master, where did you get this from?"

"Given to me by a deity in a dream."

Tiger Robe clearly didn't believe this explanation, but unable to explain the origin of the text, he muttered:
"Could there really be a celestial being who appears in dreams?"

However, she quickly regained her composure and confidently assured Lin Jiang:
"Don't worry, young master! This method suits me perfectly. Once I understand it, I will definitely be able to help you succeed!"

"it is good."

As the robe's skills improve, it will naturally be able to help you in more ways.

"Young master, after breakfast, it's time to set off."

Chen Dajiang's voice came from outside the car window, and Lin Jiang responded.

After carefully putting away the books and the tiger robe, Lin Jiang looked out the window at the scenery.

The weather is nice.

He still didn't know when he would be able to meet that woman from the Jiang family.

However, Lin Jiang had a feeling about it.

It shouldn't take too long.

After getting off the car, Lin Jiang was about to have a meal when he suddenly overheard the merchants at the next table talking loudly:

“You don’t know, I heard Cuihua calling me yesterday. She must still be waiting for me by the town.”

"I did dream of a market full of ghosts and monsters, it was terrifying."

"I also dreamed of a market, but in my dream it was full of delicious and fun things."

The merchants listened with amazement, dismissing it as nothing more than a pipe dream.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The distant ghost market has closed, but the dreams it left in the hearts of a few merchants still linger.

The scholar stopped to rub his legs by the roadside.

After walking for a long time, several blisters appeared on the soles of his feet.

Without the ability to obtain star points, and since cultivation is not a martial arts method, the sorcerer's inherent fragility is clearly reflected in every aspect of his body.

"I need to find a means of transportation to get to the capital," the scholar sighed.

When his page had accompanied him before, the scholar never worried about the journey. The page could arrange everything perfectly, and he could read while riding a horse. When he came to his senses again, he would naturally be able to travel to all parts of the world.

Now that the pageboy is dead, he has to take care of many things himself.

Thinking of this, the scholar's eyes welled up with tears again.

"Hey, who killed you? If I ever run into them, I'll make sure that person suffers a terrible death."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I might not be able to beat you. If I can't, then I'll find someone else to help you get revenge."

As the scholar was pondering this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes beside him. Looking down, he was surprised to find a fox stumbling out of the bushes.

The fox had bloodstains on its chest and hind legs, which had now dried on its fur.

But you can also see the wound beneath the bloodstains.

The scholar lowered his head in confusion. He stared at the fox, and the fox stared back at him, completely unafraid of people.

He observed for a while, then suddenly understood, and asked:

"Daoist Master, did you make a mistake in your ambush of your senior brother?"

The fox transformed into the woman whose appearance and age were impossible to discern.

Kun Dao was still covered in blood, her skin was deathly pale, and although her wounds had scabbed over, they were clearly not healed.

"I clearly plotted against my senior brother, but I don't know where he got the divine medicine from. In just a few hours, his injuries, which had been recuperating for half a year, were completely healed."

“After all, he’s an old-school sixth-level cultivator, so it’s normal for him to have some accumulated experience.” The scholar reached out to help the female cultivator up and said, “Your cultivation is inferior to his, so it’s normal for you to suffer losses.”

“But I clearly checked him before, he definitely didn’t have any medicine with him.” Kun Dao muttered, “The difference in cultivation level below the Star Point isn’t that big. If he was injured, I could definitely take him down.”

"Don't be so confident in your judgment; people always make mistakes."

Kun Dao was still very dissatisfied.

The scholar patted himself all over, his expression somewhat helpless: "I don't have any good medicine on me, so I can't cure you."

"Sigh, is there no other way? My senior brother is very skilled. Judging from the current situation, I estimate it will take him at least half a year to recover."

"Yes, there is," the scholar said. "You know Jiang Shi, right?"

"That Jiang family member who practices healing arts?"

"As expected, you are very knowledgeable. I was talking about her." The scholar said, "She is now under the command of the Great General. I know how to get to her Hundred Garden. I can take you there. It just depends on whether you dare to do it."

Kun Dao began to shake her head vigorously.

Jiang is the only remaining practitioner of the art of treating lesions, and the entire Hundred Garden is filled with techniques left over from the State of Qi.

This is different from the usual "objects containing star-like abilities". In the garden of a hundred flowers, there are many flowers, each with different abilities, and quite a few of them contain star-like abilities.

Jiang herself wasn't that powerful, only at the fifth level of cultivation, but that wasn't important. What was important was that the Hundred Garden Society would protect her.

If you let someone who specializes in treating illnesses treat your ailments, you might end up leaving some kind of lasting negative impact on your own body.

"Pity."

"You've probably made a deal with her? Sending patients in exchange for benefits?"

The scholar remained silent for a long time, then sighed:
"Pity."

"Too lazy to even argue?"

A gentleman does not speak falsehoods.

You deserve to be scolded!

The scholar waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the capital next. Since you don't want to go to Jiang's place, you can at least go to the capital to find a doctor. Spending a little more money should be enough to heal your injury."

"Makes sense."

After getting up, the woman looked around:
"Are you really planning to walk all the way to the capital like this? Didn't you get a carriage?"

"No." The scholar rummaged through his pouch, which still contained a handful of copper coins: "I recently came across a teahouse, where I enjoyed fragrant tea and admired beautiful women, and that's how I ran out of money."

"You...you're so capable, how come you can't make money?"

"A gentleman speaks with his words but never with his hands."

"..." Kun Dao started rubbing his temples: "If I pass through another town and there's a wealthy family there, I'll go to their house and get some silver. How can I possibly walk all the way to the capital?"

“I’ve traveled this road before. If I remember correctly, there’s a town ahead.”

"We need to get ready right away."

……

Lin Jiang lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Looking through the curtain, the muddy road was gradually being covered by cart tracks, and houses were densely packed along the way.

The镖头 (bodyguard/escort) rode up to Chen Dajiang's side, whispered a few words in Chen Dajiang's ear, and then Chen Dajiang relayed them to Lin Jiang:
"Young Master, we'll arrive in the capital in about five days."

We're almost in the capital.

Lin Jiang also became expectant.

What will this great city of Beijing look like?

Just then, Lin Jiang suddenly felt a voice calling softly from within.

Upon closer inspection,

It's Tin Sheet again!
