Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

But now it's all good, these Tiger Poison Gu worm eggs are mine!

Wan Yi felt no remorse whatsoever for robbing Han Tiezhu of his opportunity.

He is a disciple of the Demonic Sect.

In this demonic sect, being soft-hearted means certain death.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity that's offered to him because of some moral reason, he'll eventually be driven to his death by the debts of the Yinshan Society.

Who will pity him then?

Besides, this doesn't count as taking it from Han Tiezhu!

Han Tiezhu hasn't gone to the Yinshan meeting yet, and hasn't bought the fake Yinming Stone.

This opportunity is theoretically still unclaimed.

I strike first, that's my skill, why should it be considered robbery?

Wan Yi felt increasingly justified the more he thought about it.

Moreover, the thought of the value of this low-grade Gu worm made Wan Yi even happier.

Low-grade Gu worms are definitely a powerful weapon before Foundation Establishment, and they are very useful.

Although I don't know the exact contribution value of Tiger Poison Gu, a normal low-grade Gu worm egg can easily fetch one or two hundred contribution points when sold.

If it can be hatched, even if it only has the cultivation level of fetal breathing, selling it for a few hundred contribution points wouldn't be a problem.

If the Tiger Poison Gu is a relatively rare variety, the price will be even higher, and you'll really make a fortune.

Wan Yi still has over nine hundred contribution points. If he sells this Gu worm, along with his existing contribution points, he should be able to pay off the loan from Yinshan Society and the sect.

Then you'll be debt-free and no longer have to be overwhelmed by debt!

Wan Yi couldn't help but sigh softly to himself.

Sure enough, working to pay off debts is a dead end; you have to steal the protagonist's opportunities to make money quickly!

I used to work on corpses every day, and I only made 10 contributions a month. It would take forever to pay off the loan.

Now, everything is fine; a single opportunity has solved all the problems.

After the initial excitement subsided, Wan Yi gradually calmed down and began to plan his next steps.

The Yinshan Small Gathering is held at the beginning of each month. It's only the middle of the month now, so there's still a little over two weeks to go. There's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

The script only states that Han Tiezhu was tricked by Jiang Sui into buying a fake Yinming Stone, but it doesn't say exactly where Jiang Sui is, making it seem a bit difficult to find her.

But now that I have a cheat system, I can see other people's profiles. As long as I see Jiang Sui, I can recognize her at a glance and know her name. Finding her will be a piece of cake.

Wan Yi felt more and more confident the more he thought about it.

It seems that intercepting this Gu worm egg is not difficult at all. As long as we find Jiang Sui and buy the fake Yinming Stone in advance, we can seize the opportunity.

……

Two days later, Wan Yi finally finished sewing up the body that hadn't been stitched up before.

Now it's time to select some more limbs from the yard and sew them up to mend the second corpse.

Looking at the intact corpse on the cold jade bed, Wan Yi couldn't help but rub his aching wrist.

It was my first time mending a corpse, and because I wasn't familiar with the technique, it took me five whole days of learning and practice.

At this rate, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task this month, and my contribution points will be deducted.

However, once you get the hang of it, you'll be much faster than when you first start mending.

Producing one in two or three days is not a problem.

If the body is relatively intact, or even if one body is found every day, it's not a big problem.

Handing in ten corpses by the end of the month should complete the mission without much trouble.

However, today is not just a day for mending corpses; there is something more important waiting for him.

According to the script of "The Dead Are the Greatest", Qian Zhuo is the one who will hide the "Qing Yong Zhen Sha Xuan Gong" on a mutilated corpse today, deliberately letting him find it by accident.

A smile appeared on Wan Yi's lips.

I won't let this opportunity slip by!

Even if you don't cultivate this mid-grade true technique, you can still make a lot of money by selling it.

Whether sold to sects or to disciples lacking cultivation techniques, they can earn a considerable amount of contribution points.

Who knows, I might not even need to sell that Tiger Poison Gu egg; this cultivation technique alone could pay off all my loans, and I'd never have to be overwhelmed by debt again.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi hurriedly tidied up the corpse on the bed and walked quickly to the mass grave in the courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted at this moment, and not even the other stewards could be seen.

Wan Yi had been working in the mortuary for the past few days and had hardly interacted with the other deacons.

The disciples of the Demonic Sect are inherently cold, taciturn, and profit-driven. In addition, everyone is busy mending corpses to earn contribution points, so they have no time to chat.

Although the front shop needs a disciple on duty, only one person is needed, and there is no need for any social interaction.

However, Wan Yi had also looked at the panels of the other deacons before.

He doesn't even have a green talent; his aptitude is only the low-grade white talent, which is terrible.

Their fates are quite good, though; they're all supporting characters in "Respect for the Dead".

It's probably because he works under the protagonist, Qian Zhuo.

Generally speaking, as long as you appear in front of the main character, you can get a supporting role.

Wan Yi squinted and carefully examined the remains in the mass grave.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a mutilated corpse.

Except for the missing left leg, the body was otherwise intact and the skin and flesh were relatively fresh.

This kind of stuff is quite rare.

Wan Yi made a mental calculation.

If we get our hands on this body, we can mend it completely in just one night at most, saving a lot of effort.

Immediately, Wan Yi had a guess.

Could this be something Qian Zhuo specially prepared for me?

From one's own perspective, seeing such easily repairable mutilated remains, one would naturally think they've gotten a great deal and would definitely prioritize taking them away to repair them.

In that case, hiding the cultivation technique on this corpse would make it easier to get the technique into one's own hands.

Without thinking further, Wan Yi bent down, picked up the mutilated corpse, and took it back to his bungalow.

Meanwhile, in another bungalow used for sewing corpses, Qian Zhuo was standing in front of the window, watching Wan Yi's departing figure, a smile playing on his lips, secretly pleased with himself.

Hmph, a big fish has taken the bait.

……

Back inside, Wan Yi closed the door behind him and checked the protective array again to make sure there were no problems before he eagerly placed the corpse on the cold jade bed and began to search for it.

Qian Zhuo must have hidden the "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" on this corpse.

It's a mid-grade true Dharma! Selling it will pay off my debts. I'll have to look for it carefully.

But Wan Yi touched everything from top to bottom, from head to toe, and found nothing.

Wan Yi's smile froze instantly, his brows furrowed, and he looked puzzled.

Something's not right, why is there no cultivation technique?

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Isn't this the corpse that Qian Zhuo prepared for me?

But the script clearly states that we can get the cultivation technique today.

Wan Yi was not giving up and carefully examined the corpse again, but still found nothing.

That's strange. Did Qian Zhuo change his mind?

Or was it hidden too well?

Well, we still need to mend this body anyway, so let's get to work. Maybe we'll find it halfway through.

Left with no other choice, Wan Yi had to put aside his thoughts, his fingertips glowing with spiritual light as he used the "Corpse Shaping and Restoration Technique" to focus on mending the corpse's severed legs.

With nimble fingers, the joints of the severed limbs were easily stitched together.

But as he was sewing, Wan Yi suddenly stopped and raised an eyebrow.

Something's wrong, something's wrong with this corpse!
