Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 457 Truth or Lie?
Lin Jiang put on a clean set of clothes.

According to Xiaoshan Shen, he had been in a coma for three months, during which time he had not moved at all and had not even been breathing.

If it weren't for the Qi flowing within his body, he would truly resemble a dead corpse.

These past three months have terrified Little Ginseng. Now she's very attached to Lin Jiang. It's inconvenient for her to transform into a little girl, so she's back to her original form as a ginseng. This time, she doesn't hide in her sleeve anymore; she sits directly on Lin Jiang's shoulder and hugs his neck.

Lin Jiang couldn't see Xiao Shanshen's expression, but he could still feel the other's body trembling.

Lin Jiang reached out and touched Xiao Shanshen's forehead.

Just as he was about ready, the door to his room was pushed open.

Led by Zhao Liulang, a large crowd squeezed through the doorway, and Lin Jiang glanced around and saw many familiar faces.

Liang Dajia, the old Taoist priest Xunzhen, Gongxuan, as well as Yiersan and Jiang Jinyue, and many other acquaintances whom Lin Jiang had only met once.

These people all started to ask, one after another, whether Lin Jiang's health was in any serious condition.

The cacophony of voices prevented Zhao Liulang, who was at the front, from speaking for a moment. Finally, Zhao Liulang frowned and coughed softly twice, which quieted everyone around him down.

"Master, are you okay?"

Zhao Liulang asked respectfully.

When people around them heard the name Zhao Liulang, they all looked at the two of them with strange eyes.

They had already heard some of what was going on when they arrived, so they were somewhat prepared.

Being prepared and actually hearing are two completely different concepts. When they thought about Zhao Liulang's identity, many old-fashioned Dianxing couldn't keep their composure.

They simply didn't understand what had happened between the two of them to cause their current seniority.

Lin Jiang waved his hand:
"It's alright now. How's the situation on your end?"

"There's no major problem. We're in Chen Kingdom now, and Brother Li Fuqi is very hospitable. He said that if we're willing, we can stay here indefinitely."

"That person is such a nice guy."

Lin Jiang looked around:
"Did Boss Guo come along? I happen to have some questions for him."

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's question, the people behind him fell silent.

"Old Guo... last time he clashed with the immortal, he used his divine soul to delay the opponent for a moment. He was already dead at that time, but the sun saved him. But he is still unconscious now, and we don't know if he will wake up."

Zhao Liulang explained to Lin Jiang.

"Take me there to take a look. I've learned some new techniques; maybe they can cure him."

Zhao Liulang didn't delay and took Lin Jiang directly to the room where Boss Guo was.

This large group of people followed the path and soon arrived at another room not far away.

Instead of going in directly, Zhao Liulang knocked on the door and waited for a while before the door opened.

Lin Jiang immediately spotted a rather voluptuous and tall woman.

The woman was even half a head taller than him, but she had a very good figure and was quite beautiful.

However, her eyes were red and she looked quite haggard. When she looked at the people in front of her, she was surprised and gave a bow.

"I was unaware of His Majesty's arrival..."

"Madam Guo, please be alright. We'll come and see Mr. Guo."

Upon hearing this title, Lin Jiang finally understood the identity of the lady before him.

Mr. Guo's wife.

After a few more brief pleasantries, Madam Guo made way for him. Once inside the room, Lin Jiang found several maids gathered around the bed, wiping the body of the young man, Boss Guo.

The latter had his eyes tightly closed and his face was pale, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

Lin Jiang walked to Boss Guo's side, and he seemed to hear the clanging sound of Boss Guo's weight next to him.

He placed his hand on Boss Guo's palm and slowly injected his refined life force into it.

After a thorough examination, it was found that Mr. Guo's physical body was indeed undamaged, but his three souls and seven spirits were severely weakened.

It was obvious that he had fought Yongli with all his might back then.

Repairing the soul cannot be achieved by simply piling up vital energy. Fortunately, Lin Jiang also knew some of the Great Treatise, so he mixed the vital energy with this method and channeled it into Boss Guo's body.

These vital energies quickly located Boss Guo's soul and found the wounds hidden deep within it.

Lin Jiang carefully began to repair this piece of soul.

Under the influence of the vital energy and the Dharma, the gaps in these souls were quickly filled. After Lin Jiang withdrew his hand, Boss Guo's brows finally twitched.

After being met with expectant gazes from those around him, Boss Guo slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes still held a hint of confusion, as if he didn't know where he was.

Only when his gaze gradually sharpened and he realized that he was surrounded by a large group of people did Boss Guo subconsciously force out a somewhat awkward smile.

He thought about it carefully for a long time before finally squeezing out a muttered question: "After thinking about it for so long, I shouldn't owe any money..."

"I never realized you were such a chatterbox before..."

Zhao Liulang laughed and cursed at the other party.

However, his tone was clearly relaxed.

After all, Boss Guo had helped Daxing a lot, so if he were to die because of this, Zhao Liulang would naturally be quite upset.

It's a good thing that they can be saved.

Lin Jiang didn't rush to ask Boss Guo any questions. The other party had just recovered from a serious illness and needed some time to spend with his family.

During this time, Zhao Liulang was thinking of finding a decent restaurant in the city so that everyone could have a good meal, but Lin Jiang stopped him.

He still had some things to say to these people, but going to the restaurant in a big way made it difficult for him to bring them up.

Seeing Lin Jiang's serious expression, the group knew that this matter was of great importance, so they found an empty room in the house and planned to discuss the matter there.

Upon entering the main room, Lin Jiang looked around and found the decor to be very elegant and beautiful. A long table stood in the center, surrounded by chairs that appeared to be made of high-quality wood. He couldn't help but remark:
"The Dust Kingdom is really generous in preparing such nice rooms for us."

"Of course Li Fuqi is willing to part with it. We're all here, how could we let him not?"

Lin Jiang glanced at Zhao Liulang, the Imperial Preceptor behind him, and the Taoist Seeking Truth, and silently mourned for the ruler of the Dust Kingdom.

He immediately composed himself and quickly told the people in front of him everything he had seen.

After hearing Lin Jiang's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Void Realm is forever separated from the True Lord.

They had heard of this Taoist name before when they fought with that Taoist. The powerful magic it displayed was terrifying. Even when Daxing gathered its most outstanding group of people, they were unable to have any effect on it.

As Lin Jiang intended, the body that Yongli descended upon was not complete, and the power it could truly display was probably only a very small part of Yongli's own cultivation.

Such a powerful Taoist priest,

Got killed.

Several of them were killed instantly in one strike.

This undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone present.

Lin Jiang looked at the silent crowd and said:
"I want to find Boss Guo mainly to ask him about his business techniques. After all, according to Yongli, what really killed him was probably not the shadowy figure, but the coin that the shadowy figure threw out."

"It should be possible."

This time it was the Imperial Advisor who answered:

“I talked to Lao Guo about the art of buying and selling before. According to Lao Guo, there is a hurdle in the art of buying and selling, which is going from not knowing to knowing. Once you get past this hurdle, you should be able to buy anything in the world as long as you accumulate enough wealth. But... the value of a copper coin that can buy death and eternal separation is probably beyond comprehension.”

If you can buy the living Yongli Daoist to death, you can also directly buy the dead Yongli.

It's really scary.

"I think what the eternal separation of the Void Realm said may not be true."

Suddenly, the Taoist Seeking Truth spoke, and everyone turned to look at him.

The Taoist Seeking Truth stroked his beard and pondered for a moment:

"As you all know, I usually observe the starry sky above the clouds. In fact, I have seen quite a few visitors from outside the boundary, and some have even stopped to chat with me briefly."

"Perhaps it's because of the passage of time, or perhaps it's because the celestial beings made many modifications to the coffin. In any case, according to those outsiders, our coffin doesn't actually have much damage from the great battle, and it's more like a ritual altar."

Lin Jiang frowned slightly, and immediately asked Yu Chang through his internal vision:

"Did you notice any damage to the top of the coffin when you arrived?"

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's question, Yu Changzai immediately responded:
"No, the coffin is perfectly intact. As for the altar mentioned by this Taoist priest, perhaps it's because our Taoist skills and methods are insufficient that we couldn't see it clearly."

The fact that the coffin was completely intact was rather strange.

According to Yongli, the shadowy figure chased him for a while when he was running away. In such a fierce battle, even if this thing was powerful, it really could not have been injured at all.

Regaining his composure, Lin Jiang pondered for a moment:
Do you have any methods to extract memories from a person's physical body?

"I've learned a thing or two," the Imperial Advisor said, stroking his bald head.

"I would be grateful if the Imperial Preceptor could enlighten me," Lin Jiang said. "I suspect that Yongli outside is hiding something."

"Are you planning to ask him about this physical body?"

"Indeed." Lin Jiang nodded.

"But his physical body is too large." The Imperial Advisor pointed to the ground. If this method were to be performed on the ground, the effect would probably be poor.

“Then let’s go deep into this earth.” Lin Jiang glanced into the distance: “At the ends of the earth, there are buildings left behind by the celestial beings that can extend into the depths. If we go to the deepest part, we should be able to ask this physical body what exactly happened back then.”
