Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

One hour later.

Li Fu found it.

He immediately began yelling at the group of young Taoist disciples, "Hurry back and continue burying the corpses... If you don't finish, you'll all starve tomorrow!"

The young Taoist disciples' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly ran into the forest.

Gu Qing did not move.

"Master, is it resolved?"

Li Fu nodded and said, "Just a worthless zombie, possessed by a wandering ghost, only knowing how to hide. I found it after chasing it for a while... and killed it with two sword strokes, it didn't take much effort."

"The Taoist priest is incredibly powerful!"

Gu Qing did not expose it.

It took an hour to get back, that's two swords, how high must the "delay" be?

Li Fu stood with his hands behind his back and laughed, "It's nothing to mention."

Then, changing the subject, he praised, "You did a good job tonight. You don't need to go back to bury the body. Go back and get some sleep. I'll give you a different job every day during the day."

"Thank you, Taoist priest!"

Gu Qing bowed deeply.

Li Fu then said, "However, I am not a heretic, and you have already mastered the first level of the Subduing and Controlling Insects Technique. I will stop here and continue to instruct you. Since I have nothing to do with my things, I will simply give them to you. This will help you advance further."

The words fell.

Li Fu took something out of his pocket.

black.

The size of a palm.

It resembles a miniature version of a sauerkraut jar.

But it was covered with tiny black runes, exuding an evil aura that was far more unsettling than the corpse stench of tonight.

"This is a low-grade Yin artifact called the Blood Refining Insect Breeding Jar. It can gather Yin and evil to cultivate strange insects. Since you follow the unorthodox path of controlling insects, this thing is perfect for you. This way, you won't have to carry an insect around in the future, risking being devoured by it and losing your foundation and essence for nothing."

Gu Qing was overjoyed, but did not immediately accept the gift. Instead, he bowed again, saying, "I will never forget your kindness, Daoist Master. In the future, when I have achieved some success in my cultivation, wherever you point, I, this insect, will surely slay!"

This is expressing an attitude.

It is also a way of showing loyalty.

of course.

He also left room for maneuver, only mentioning insects.

Li Fu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Don't think that just because you've accepted this Blood Refining Insect Breeding Jar you're one of my people. You're not qualified yet. If it weren't for the generous gift from your father and the considerable courage you've shown, I would never have given this to you."

Hearing this, Gu Qing understood.

He immediately understood why Li Fu, despite having a powerful background, could only manage the morgue.

If it were me, I would never have said those two unnecessary words.

However, Li Fu did give him a heads-up.

How much did Li Fu's father actually give him?

Are they still all borrowed?

Or did he sell the last bit of his ancestral property?

Thinking of this, Gu Qing felt both warmth and worry.

If it was borrowed, who would be willing to lend him so much?

There is only a bloody competition among various schools and sects; how could there be a kind-hearted person who would lend out their entire fortune?

"Disciple understands. I will definitely strive to cultivate and live up to the Daoist's expectations." Gu Qing collected his thoughts and bowed again.

Li Fu said no more. "Alright, go back and rest."

"Yes."

Gu Qing nodded and walked away.

This time, Gu Qing deliberately walked very slowly.

The faint starlight fell before me, dimly illuminating the path ahead.

But he took each step with great determination.

He is also very composed.

"In this new life, I must proceed with utmost caution!"

The words fell.

Gu Qing disappeared into the darkness and returned to Qishan.

……

When I returned to the dormitory, the room was empty.

Gu Qing didn't rush to sleep, but instead remotely commanded the corpse-devouring worms to devour the new corpses.

At first, Gu Qing was a little cautious, but after confirming that Li Fuzhen really couldn't detect it, he let the corpse-eating worms feast.

After a night, they ate another corpse.

When I woke up, the daily review arrived as scheduled.

[Evaluation Panel Lv1 (3/100)]

[Today's Review!]

[Using insects to search for corpses in the Fufeng Forest Tomb, I discovered the escape route of the black zombie and gained the favor of Daoist Duofu, who rated me as Grade D - Corpse Qi +5]

[Refining one pound of Cold Mountain Venerable's flesh nourishes the body and dispels the corpse energy within. Rating: D-grade - Corpse Energy +3]

[The Corpse-Eating Insects devour the corpse of the decapitated villain, rated as D-level - Corpse Qi +10, Yin Qi Replenishment +5]

[PS: The rating is very low, but I'll try harder!]

"I was favored by Li Fu, and although I was only rated as a D grade, he gave me 5 points of corpse energy, which is equivalent to the corpse-eating worms consuming half a corpse."

Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

However, Gu Qing did not intend to rely on this method to farm corpse energy, because the trouble might outweigh the benefits in an instant.

Showing off one's skills occasionally is a sign of intelligence.

If you expose yourself frequently, then you are exposing yourself.

Besides attracting more attention, it will also cause trouble, so there are no benefits.

"Now I'll see if the work during the day tomorrow can be a little more difficult, so that I can get a higher evaluation."

The words fell.

Gu Qing immediately used up all 18 points of corpse energy.

The growth progress bar of the corpse-eating worm suddenly increased.

【Corpse Eater】

[Status: Larva (34/50) - Breeding Direction: Black Armored Carcass Worm]

"At most three days, maybe even just two days, and the corpse-eating worms will be able to molt into adults." Gu Qingxin felt a surge of anticipation.

Once they become adults, they can perhaps be placed in the Blood Refining Insect Breeding Jar, which may also accelerate the breeding process.

He dared not move too quickly, seeing the cannibalistic corpse.

If you go too fast, it's easy for others to notice.

However, there is more than one way to cultivate corpse-eating worms, so you can also purchase some animal corpses to cultivate them in the future.

Just then, the young disciples, exhausted, returned to the communal sleeping quarters. Seeing that Gu Qing had slept through the night, their eyes were filled with envy. Many immediately stepped forward to curry favor, but Gu Qing remained indifferent.

Not distant, but not too close either.

Because he is only barely better now, he is not yet qualified to take care of others or to be used by others.

However, to Gu Qing's surprise, no sooner had he left the dormitory to go find Li Fu than someone started talking badly about him behind his back.

obviously.

Some people were very dissatisfied with his lukewarm attitude.

"I don't know what he's so arrogant about. Does he really think that Master Li Fu has taken a liking to him? He's just interested in the unorthodox path he's chosen. Unorthodox paths are all about quick success and instant benefits, and can be used to their advantage... He has absolutely no self-awareness."

But his words were not echoed.

No one refuted it.

This proves that many people agree with this statement.

However, most people are smart, and no one responded to that statement.

So when no one agreed with him, he chuckled a few times and buried his head in the blankets without saying another word.

Gu Qing didn't bother to care about these things, after all, in her previous life, there were countless people who gossiped and spread rumors behind her back.

If you get angry at someone like that, he would have died of anger long ago.

After leaving the dormitory, Gu Qing was about to follow the sound of the servants in the other rooms to look for Li Fu when he saw that Li Fu had already come looking for him.

"How was your rest?"

Li Fu spoke politely.

This drew the attention of the servants in the other rooms.

Gu Qing raised his hand in a salute, "Replying to the Daoist Master, I am always ready to serve you."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu smiled with satisfaction.

He liked Gu Qing's intelligence.

"Let's go."

Li Fu walked down the mountain.

But before they had gone far, Gu Qing realized something was wrong.

The direction to go.

It's still a cemetery!
