Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 377 Coaxing
Lin Jiang patted his hands clean and scanned the corpse on the ground:
"The cultivators who have survived the calamities on the Great Dust side are clearly inferior to those on the Great Xing side."

"Those who take pills in large quantities are all seasoned veterans who have been stuck at the threshold of the sixth level for many years. They have long understood the Star Pointing Realm and are naturally in their element after transforming. They can usually escape even a proper Star Pointing Realm one-on-one. Taking pills is like adding wings to a tiger."

Yu Wenyun stretched out his toe and kicked the corpses:

"The people here seem to have been temporarily brought in to fill the ranks. They probably don't even understand the intricacies of the methods themselves. Even if they can use this power, it's just a forced boost to their cultivation level. They're far from being truly skilled."

Without a solid foundation, cultivation will ultimately fall short of perfection.

If a hurdle that others have overcome with great difficulty and risked their lives could be easily overcome by a small pill, wouldn't all their hard-earned cultivation become a huge joke?

Moreover, in this area, there isn't even a decent bloodline to be found.

Even Zhao Liulang's most promising eldest son failed to open the door to Dianxing.

Why should it be this group's turn?

Lin Jiang shook his head and walked over to the weakest male corpse.

I crouched down and placed my palm on the cold body.

After a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand.

Lin Jiang's expression was slightly strange. He stared at the man lying on the ground for a moment before turning to his teammates beside him:
"Has any of you heard of the Sixth Young Master?"

Everyone shook their heads in denial, and Lin Jiang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

He had just examined this person's memories and learned that a fellow from the Dust Kingdom called the Sixth Prince intended to deal with them.

Here comes the problem.

Who is this sixth young master?

Lin Jiang pondered carefully for a while, but couldn't recall a single piece of information about this person.

Looking at the red beads seeping from the bodies of these people, Lin Jiangxin felt that the Sixth Young Master had probably been tricked by the Daxing people from Chen Kingdom.

For no apparent reason, he suddenly rushed over and started a fight with Lin Jiang.

Now, almost everyone has died or been injured.

But none of this matters.

Lin Jiang caught a glimpse of the treasures they were carrying and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"The people of the Great Dust Kingdom are truly hospitable. Knowing that we were about to arrive in the Dust Kingdom, they actually sent us such a batch of treasures."

Yu Wenyun thought about it carefully, nodded seriously, and felt that what Lin Jiang said made a lot of sense.

After reviewing the man's memories, Lin Jiang understood the purpose of each of the treasures they had brought.

Besides the ruler with its own chaotic energy technique, they also brought a protective item and two offensive items.

That protective item is an incense burner; by simply adding specific incense, it can form an invisible protective barrier around the body.

This protection is a form of mental isolation, which directly affects the three souls and seven spirits. Lin Jiang felt that he couldn't really use it, and since others had difficulty preparing the spices, he simply handed it over to Yi Er San, who was most skilled in this art.

Making candles requires mixing various materials, and although it's unclear whether she'll need them, it seems that no one else can use them.

Of the two deadly treasures, the first is a rusty longsword. Although the blade is covered in rust, it exudes a strong killing aura; once it strikes a person, the killing aura will invade the body along the meridians, disrupting movement.

Moreover, the seemingly dull rust was actually exceptionally hard; Lin Jiang could feel a slight stinging sensation when he lightly touched the blade with his finger. This was indeed quite formidable.

The other is an iron nail, which needs to be inserted into the skin to be effective, directly attacking the three souls and seven spirits; if the soul is damaged, even if the person is lucky enough to survive, the damaged soul will cause them to suffer for a long time.

The required materials are not scarce; they are simply the flesh and blood of living beings, and their origin is not important.

The problem could be solved by killing a pig first.

These two treasures are already quite powerful. If an ordinary Star Pointer were to be hit by them, their body would likely be severely damaged, and their true form might even be injured.

However, like the previous coin, they possess extremely faint thoughts, making it difficult to express them clearly in words; they are the kind of treasures that are hard to explain.

Lin Jiang and Yu Wenyun had no use for these treasures, so they simply handed them over to Jiang Jinyue, along with the ruler and the two weapons.

Jiang Jinyue's expression turned slightly strange after she received the treasure.

These items are indeed extremely valuable; even if placed within Daxing, they would be considered top-tier treasures.

Moreover, for many people, it is not a good thing for treasures to have their own thoughts, as they sometimes need to consult with them before doing anything, which is quite inconvenient.

These treasures, devoid of independent consciousness, perfectly suited their needs.

Such a precious treasure would be impossible for her to obtain during a prosperous era, and even borrowing it from the Dali Temple would be as difficult as climbing to heaven. Yet, Lin Jiang and the others are now completely ignoring it.

There is indeed diversity in the world.

Jiang Jinyue knew that she and Xiaoshanshen were both burdens on this trip. However, Xiaoshanshen could be transformed into a pendant and attached to Lin Jiang's sleeve, but she could not.

At this moment, she had no interest in the Illusion Mirror. Expecting it to force her to advance to Star Point immediately was unrealistic. However, if she could possess a few powerful magic treasures, Jiang Jinyue believed she could handle those pseudo-Star Point cultivators who were only enhanced by pills.

After putting away these treasures, Lin Jiang couldn't help but sigh again:
"I wonder who this Sixth Young Master is. He's been so generous in giving us so many things. I really want to meet him someday and ask him who's behind him doing this."

He thought that if he could actually meet the Sixth Young Master, the Sixth Young Master would be very happy and would tell him these things.

……

The sixth young master paced back and forth in his room. Although the sun shone brightly outside the window and the scenery was picturesque, the warm light falling on him did not bring him any comfort.

I'm absolutely furious! I'm dying of anger!

These few incompetent subordinates are all dead!
It's only been a short time! He didn't care much about the deaths of these people, since they weren't real Star Pointers, so their deaths were no big deal.

However, what he couldn't accept was the loss of his precious possession!

This time, he gave Zhou Gong a treasure and staked four more treasures on his subordinates. Even though he was wealthy and powerful, these losses were enough to make him feel heartbroken.

Even if you're rich, you can't waste money like this!

After pacing around the room twice, I suddenly saw several figures appear at the door.

It was Duke Zhou who came with his men.

"You surnamed Zhou! What do you mean!" Although the Sixth Young Master was a little stunned, he was not stupid: "You bastard from Daxing, how dare you deceive me! If you had explained the harm that group of people was more clearly back then, I wouldn't have only sent this few people to deal with them!"

He was so angry he was practically fuming.

Bad! Very bad!
People from Daxing are all despicable thieves!

Zhou Canshen looked at the Sixth Young Master with complete indifference, and chuckled lightly: "Sixth Young Master, success or failure is possible, especially since the opponent is indeed a top expert. I thought you would send some more capable people, but I am truly helpless in the face of being counter-attacked."

"you!"

The sixth young master was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

He desperately wanted to give the order and have his men rush out and skin this Zhou man alive.

But right now, he really can't mobilize that many people.

Must we simply swallow this loss?

The sixth young master pondered for a long time, then suddenly felt a pain between his teeth and realized that he really didn't have any decent solutions.

First and foremost, he dared not tell his relatives about this. He already had a bad reputation in the clan, and was often ridiculed for being more trouble than he was worth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager for quick success and risked everything to try and turn his reputation around.

So... what should we do?
The sixth young master slumped into his chair in despair.

My mind was buzzing like a swarm of bees.

With his limited manpower, he probably won't be able to get that treasure back.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Zhou Shen was secretly delighted.

The methods of spiritual practice are just that—coaxing.

This is also a branch of deception, specifically targeting the other party's favorite points and prompting them to act impulsively and easily lose their temper.

Zhou Canshen used this method to cheat many people in the past.

However, there is an advanced method to this art of coaxing.

Zhou Shenshen liked to call it the "rootless hand".

If the person being deceived has something of great importance tied to the scheme, they will likely go to great lengths and take risks to get it back.

It's like being entangled and dragged by a rootless hand at the bottom of the water; the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Moreover, this wondrous method does not even require the slightest cultivation to activate.

It can be described as the most convenient method in the world.

So Zhou Canshen walked to the side of the Sixth Young Master, leaned slightly closer, and lowered his voice:
"Sixth Young Master, I do indeed have another method that may help you retrieve that item."

"Really?" Although the Sixth Young Master still had doubts about Zhou Canshen, these words were like invisible hooks, unconsciously pulling him forward.

"Don't you still have a subordinate with a star rating? If you can get some treasures from your father, then go find that group of Daxing people. There's a woman in that group named Jiang Jinyue. She's not a star rating, so she's their weak point. You can capture her and blackmail them into exchanging her for treasures, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

After careful consideration, the Sixth Young Master realized that it might indeed be a good idea.

In this way, I can get my treasure back.

In this way, he could immediately extricate himself from the mess caused by those Daxing people.

As for his own father's treasure...

He certainly couldn't just go and ask for it directly; if he did, his father would definitely ask him what he planned to do, and if he couldn't explain it to his father, he would probably have to interrogate him.

When things come to light, I'll inevitably be criticized.

But he could actually use some means to sneak into his father's treasure vault and take an item out of it.

One of these treasures can create boundless illusions, making it the most suitable for use!

Surely those people couldn't possibly have a way to avoid illusions at the level of a single star!
"Sixth Young Master, would you like to exchange a few more Ascension Pills with me? That way, even if something unexpected happens, we can ensure the safety of that Star Pointer."

Zhou Canshen lowered his voice again and spoke to the Sixth Young Master, who remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, he let out a cold snort:
"No need, I have my own methods!"

He simply couldn't trust Zhou Canshen anymore.

and,

The one I sent out this time was a genuine Star-level target to be kidnapped, but it was just a weak point without any Star-level attributes.

There definitely won't be any problems!
