Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 395 Has Its Own Wonderful Use
The thief was covered in blood, panting heavily, and looked slightly dejected.

Lin Jiang glanced at the thief a couple more times, but ultimately didn't ask him what had happened. He simply asked:
"Is anyone else pursuing you?"

Only then did the thief slowly come to his senses.

He remained silent for a moment before speaking:

“I’m not sure, but Li Fuqi is definitely pursuing me.”

"You're trying to use Daxing's power to get revenge on Li Fuqi, aren't you?"

"Exactly!"

The thief forcefully lowered his head:
"If possible, I will do my utmost for Daxing from now on!"

Lin Jiang scrutinized Dao Chengzei's face for a moment before finally saying:

"Please wait here while we discuss this."

"it is good!"

The thief felt he had a chance, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Lin Jiang led the others onto the carriage, instructing them to be wary of thieves, while he himself sat cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the inner palace to begin contacting Zhao Liulang.

Lin Jiang intended to talk to Zhao Liulang about the fact that a thief had become a criminal, but he didn't actually intend to say anything good about the man.

He had actually come to realize that thieves weren't exactly outstanding talents; in fact, they were somewhat weak in every aspect.

Lin Jiang wasn't quite sure how this person had attained the Star Point.

A short while later, Zhao Liulang's voice rang in Lin Jiang's ear:

"Master! You really did send a message!"

Lin Jiang, who was about to speak, was a little stunned after hearing these words:
"What do you mean?"

"Huh?" Zhao Liulang was also somewhat puzzled: "Several places in Daxing have suddenly shown signs of revitalization. You didn't come here for this matter?"

Lin Jiang: "?"

activation?

What do you mean?
This sudden problem completely banished the idea of ​​the thief from Lin Jiang's mind.

What's going on on your end?

Lin Jiang hadn't expected things to change after he left Daxing, so he frowned and asked.

Zhao Liulang realized from the tone of the voice that he had misunderstood, but considering that this matter was of great importance, he spoke frankly:

"Several sites in Daxing suddenly changed shape. When I sent people to investigate, they found the coffin that Master had mentioned, and said it was related to you. It seems that I was just being paranoid."

"remains?"

"For example, in the southern border of Panyun Mountain, the entire mountain was shrouded in thick fog, and the coffin was suspended in the fog. It took the Ministry of Justice a lot of trouble to get in."

Upon hearing this name, Lin Jiang couldn't help but recall the story Gong Xuan had told him about the extraordinary phenomena that would occur after Dianxing's death.

At that time, Gongxuan seemed to say that there was a high mountain in the south of Daxing, and a star had died on the top of the mountain. After the star died, the entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of mist that did not dissipate for many years.

It seems that Zhao Liulang was referring to this place.

"What kind of alienation are you talking about?"

“It’s an unusual celestial phenomenon,” Zhao Liulang explained. “Extremely unusual celestial phenomena have appeared in many places. In some places, there are continuous storms and torrential rain, and in other places, there are constant lightning and thunder. The mountain I just mentioned even showed the bizarre phenomenon of day and night being reversed and stars appearing in broad daylight.”

"What did you find out caused these celestial phenomena?"

"It looks like a coffin."

"coffin."

“It is the coffin you mentioned before,” Zhao Liulang said. “When we got there, we found that the coffin was shimmering with a strange light, which is probably why the world around us is changing so strangely. Knowing that you have been looking for this kind of coffin, we thought that this matter was related to you, so we asked you about it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang frowned.

"Are there any problems with the coffins in the capital?"

“No,” Zhao Liulang said. “It’s quiet in the capital.”

"Are there any unusual phenomena in Ta Yunxia and Qingniwa?"

Zhao Liulang remained silent for a moment upon hearing this:

"I haven't heard of it, so it must not exist. All reports are directly submitted by the personal guards, so there should be no error."

That is to say...

Why is there nothing unusual about the coffin that is connected to me?
what on earth is it?

Lin Jiang really couldn't understand it.

"Is everything really alright with Master?"

"Why should I not tell you the truth about this?" Lin Jiang said helplessly. "Perhaps something related to these coffins has suddenly changed..."

As Lin Jiang spoke, the image of Lan Ke's immortal mountain suddenly flashed into his mind for some reason.

Could it be because of that?
He vaguely remembered that Old Apa had said that the sacred mountain would open approximately once every sixty years.

"Was there a similar situation sixty years ago?"

"Sixty years ago?"

Zhao Liulang recalled carefully:
“There was indeed such a time. On that day, a strong wind blew and the world changed. In the capital, day and night were reversed. However, at that time, the country had just been established and was surrounded by foreign enemies. I thought it was some other star attacking the capital. But now that you mention it, I remember.”

I think I guessed right.

It really is related to the immortal mountain. Could it be that the immortal mountain is about to open?

Back then, when Old Apa said there was only one year left, was he mistaken, or did the sacred mountain open early for some reason?
Lin Jiang calculated the distance; if he rode at full speed, it shouldn't take long.

"This news is indeed very useful to me."

Lin Jiang felt quite saddened.

A few soft laughs escaped Zhao Liulang from inside the coffin. Despite having been the Emperor of Daxing for a long time, he was still secretly pleased by Lin Jiang's praise.

However, he quickly realized:
"By the way, Master, what urgent matter do you wish to discuss with me?"

"There is one." Lin Jiang then remembered the thief and briefly recounted his connection with this person.

After speaking for a moment and pondering, he simply relayed the old man's assessment of thieves becoming thieves.

Lin Jiang knew that his judgment was inferior to that of the emperor's disciple, so rather than making wild guesses, he decided to leave the matter to Zhao Liulang to decide.

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's words, Zhao Liulang chuckled softly.

“Master, I’ve heard of the person you’re talking about.”

"Oh?"

"This man was quite famous many years ago. He was originally just a lowly beggar who practiced the lowest of the low, the kind of person anyone could trample on at will. Because of this, he had no bottom line and was the type to do anything if he could."

As Zhao Liulang recalled the events, he recounted to Lin Jiang how the theft had turned into thievery:

"However, this person was quite lucky and barely managed to survive. He also happened to be caught up in the chaos of war between the various kingdoms at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xing Dynasty. On that chaotic battlefield, he stole a lot of people's precious treasures and even profound cultivation, and forcibly pushed himself to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang's expression became subtle:

"Could he have stolen the spot where he marked the stars?"

“Otherwise, why would it be called a thief turning into a robber?” Zhao Liulang sighed. “Back then, I had an old rival who cultivated the Way of Lust and Harmony. He was almost killed by my general on the battlefield, but then this guy suddenly appeared and stole the position of the seriously injured Star Pointer, and transformed himself into a Star Pointer.”

Lin Jiang was momentarily at a loss for words when it came to evaluating this person:

"It sounds almost the same as forcibly boosting one's level with elixirs."

“Perhaps there are still some differences,” Zhao Liulang said. “After all, his cultivation method is theft and thievery. Relying on such methods to advance to the Star Point level, in a sense, it can be considered as his own cultivation.”

Does it count...?
"However, this person did not experience the pressure of passing the Star-Pointing stage, and directly reached the Star-Pointing realm. Because he stole the method, after becoming a Star-Pointer, he indulged in women day and night. It is not surprising that he is in this situation now."

"So what do you plan to do with him? Take him in? Or should I get rid of him right now?"

“There’s no need to trouble you, Master. This man is indeed quite useful.” Zhao Liulang laughed. “He’s ambitious, which makes him easier to control. I also have my own clever uses for him. You can just send him east. When he reaches the Daxing pass, someone will naturally meet him.”

Since Zhao Liulang felt he could control the situation, Lin Jiang naturally didn't say anything more, quietly withdrew from the internal inspection, and left the carriage.

The thief was still waiting anxiously outside. When he saw Lin Jiang come out, he looked at him eagerly.

“I have already told a big shot in Daxing about your situation. You can leave from here directly and head east. You will see a checkpoint. Once inside, someone will meet you.”

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the thief. He nodded solemnly to Lin Jiang and then bowed deeply to show his respect.

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly hesitated for a moment.

He then gritted his teeth and made up his mind, took out a delicate little box from his pocket, and solemnly handed it to Lin Jiang.

"What is this?" Lin Jiang asked, taking the box with some confusion.

"When I was young, I went to the mountains further south. In the swamp there, I happened to see several fierce demons fighting. They were both badly injured. I took the opportunity to use a little trick to steal their pills."

The thief explained:

"Over the years, I have been trying to refine these two treasures, but the Dust Kingdom lacks top-notch craftsmen, and I have always been reluctant to sell them, so I simply kept them until now."

"Now that I have received your help, I really don't know how to thank you. I only have this as a token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it with a smile."

Lin Jiang did not refuse and readily accepted the items.

The thief bowed deeply to Lin Jiang once more, then turned and left.

Although this person doesn't seem very reliable, Zhao Liulang thinks he can be used, so let Zhao Liulang put in the effort.

Lin Jiang still needs to hurry to the immortal mountain.

After boarding the carriage and confirming the direction with Yu Wenyun again, Yu Wenyun whipped the horse and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Lin Jiang sat down on the bench in the main hall of the carriage and casually took out the wooden box given to him by the thief.

A demon core.

Nearly a year ago, he killed several demons, and it was through their demon cores that he slightly increased his cultivation.

I recall that ginseng could also be consumed.

Let's see if she can digest it; if she can, then let her try it.

Upon opening the box, a piece of velvet cloth was placed inside, on which two demon cores hung quietly.

Lin Jiang glanced over and immediately noticed that one of the demon cores had a foreign object stuck to its surface.

His brow furrowed slightly.

It seems like……

Disaster.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, he saw the untouched demon core suddenly tremble twice:

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be a different person."

Lin Jiang: "?"

This demon core can actually speak?
