Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

But when Wan Yi checked the price of the magical artifact, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a pang of heartache.

The ritual implements are nice, but the price is too high!

Magical artifacts of the same level are priced similarly to cultivation techniques, and are a grade higher than spells.

Even a low-grade magic weapon can easily cost several hundred contribution points.

Looking further up, Wan Yi also saw that mid-grade magic artifacts were for sale.

However, this mid-grade magic artifact is called a magic treasure, and it is mainly used by Foundation Establishment cultivators. At least one must have Qi Refining cultivation to barely activate it.

Even if Wan Yi buys it now, he can't activate it at all; it will just be a decoration, a pure waste of his contribution.

Besides, magic treasures cost several thousand contribution points, and even though he currently has over four thousand contribution points, he still can't afford them, so he'd better give up.

As for high-grade magic artifacts, they are called spiritual treasures, which belong to the Purple Mansion True Person and are not sold to outsiders by the sect.

Let alone high-grade magic weapons, even high-grade spiritual items are not sold by the sect.

As expected, they hid all the good stuff, only giving it to those high-level cultivators.

After careful selection, Wan Yi finally chose five magical artifacts.

Chongyue Armor, priced at 220 contribution points.

The Earth Tower is priced at 320 contribution points.

Kunyuan Blade, priced at 720 contribution points.

Apricot Yellow Boat, priced at 420 contribution points.

Storage bag, priced at 100 contribution points.

With defense, offense, escape, and storage all included, I'm now guaranteed both survival and the ability to fight.

Of these five magical artifacts, the Chongyue Armor and the Dique Tower are both defensive artifacts, seemingly redundant.

But Wan Yi had his own ulterior motives.

Although the Chongyue Armor's defensive capabilities are not as good as the Dique Tower, it can be worn directly on the body. Even without using magic to activate it, it can withstand a lot of attacks and can save his life in critical moments.

That's why I bought an extra defensive artifact.

Not for any other reason than to cherish life!

There is hope as long as you are alive.

As for the other three magical artifacts, they are much simpler.

The Kunyuan Blade is a genuine offensive magical weapon. Its blade is sharp and its power is immense when activated. When paired with the "Mountain-Splitting Technique," it is like adding wings to a tiger, possessing the power to split mountains and sever peaks.

The Apricot Yellow Boat is an escape artifact. Although its upper limit cannot compare to the "Flowing Cloud Escape Technique," it can be activated after one or two refinements, making it much more convenient.

Storage bags, of course, are used to store various odds and ends.

With these five magical artifacts, even if Qian Zhuo suddenly attacks, Wan Yi will be able to deal with the situation and even turn the tables.

However, after spending money in this way, Wan Yi spent a total of 2640 contribution points.

These four magical artifacts alone cost 1780 contribution points, while the spells only cost 860 contribution points.

Sigh, these ritual implements are too expensive; they're not something a poor person can afford.

Wan Yi looked at the remaining contribution points on his disciple's jade tablet and felt a pang of regret.

I originally had 4328 contribution points, and after spending them, I still have 1688 contribution points left.

However, in addition to spells and magical artifacts, one must also purchase elixirs and materials to improve one's cultivation.

Then let's use 200 contribution points to purchase it.

Furthermore, the materials for crafting corpse puppets and hatching tiger poison worm eggs must be purchased in advance to avoid being caught off guard later.

As for the corpses used to create the corpse puppets, there's no need to purchase them from the Corpse Puppet Palace.

Wan Yi can be purchased directly from the morgue.

As the butler of the mortuary, he can get a discount on the price of corpses through internal channels.

Of course, the quality of the bodies in the morgue was not good.

However, Wan Yi has never tried to refine a corpse puppet before, and for his first attempt, he doesn't need a very good corpse.

Of the remaining 1488 contribution points, 1400 will be set aside to pay off the loan a year from now, so that we don't end up being forced by the Yinshan Society to take out loans to pay off other loans when we can't raise enough. That would be disastrous.

As for the additional 88 contributions, Wan Yi had a clear plan.

Once the Yinshan Small Meeting begins, purchase the fake Yinming Stone containing the Tiger Poison Gu, as well as for emergency use.

Having finalized everything, Wan Yi immediately completed the transaction with Xiong Bi, put away the newly purchased spells and magical artifacts in his storage bag, and hurriedly left the Corpse Puppet Palace.

He found a secluded corner, activated his magic power, and briefly refined the Apricot Yellow Boat before flying towards the Corpse-Sewing Room.

With the apricot-yellow boat's support, the flight speed is more than twice as fast as before.

In just a short while, he returned to the mortuary.

As he entered the courtyard and looked at the mass grave filled with mutilated corpses, Wan Yi sighed softly.

Let's continue mending the body.

We'll just have to wait for the Yinshan meeting in half a month to intercept Hu Hu's poisonous gu.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi picked up the Yin Corpse Bag and walked towards the mass grave, picking up the severed limbs while secretly looking forward to the Yinshan Small Meeting.

……

Days passed by, and soon it was Wan Yi's turn to be on duty at the front shop again.

Early in the morning, Wan Yi got ready, went to the front shop, and opened the door to start business.

While skillfully selling corpses, he kept an eye on the disciples coming and going, checking their information on their panels, hoping to encounter another protagonist in the story and steal a chance.

Even if you don't encounter the main character, discovering a supporting character in a new script is still a clue, and it's better than watching a bunch of extras every day.

Wan Yi waited and waited, and although there were many disciples coming and going, they were all extras throughout the whole day. There were very few with green talents, let alone the main characters.

What bad luck!

Just as the door was about to close, a sallow-faced monk walked in.

The man had a hint of arrogance in his eyes. His gaze swept across the shop and finally landed on Wan Yi, where he smiled maliciously.

It was Wu Wei.

Wan Yi's heart skipped a beat, sensing that the newcomer was up to no good, but he still went to meet them.

Wu Wei naturally recognized Wan Yi as well. He narrowed his eyes, looked Wan Yi up and down, and clicked his tongue in amazement:

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Wan?"

"I haven't seen you come to listen to the teachings these past few days. I thought you were trying to enter the path and were focusing all your energy on cultivation."

"But I went to your cave specifically to look for you, and I couldn't find a single person there."

"I never expected you to end up working in the morgue, kid!"

Wan Yi's heart tightened, but he put on a respectful expression: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Wu. I was fortunate enough to enter the Dao a few days ago, and Senior Brother Jiang Chuan introduced me to work in the mortuary to earn some contribution points to supplement my cultivation."

"I was so busy that I forgot to tell my senior brother in advance. Please forgive me."

Wu Wei snorted coldly, full of disdain: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, after you entered the Dao, it has nothing to do with my mission anymore, and I can't be bothered with you."

"It's just that you insist on coming to this morgue to do this dirty and tiring work, which makes me quite unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Wan Yi was startled, his smile froze for a moment, and he was secretly puzzled.

I'm here to work in the morgue, what's it to you?

What's making you unhappy?

Something's not right. Surely Wu Wei can't stand seeing me doing dirty or tiring work?

He has no intention of being so kind.

Wan Yi began to ponder.

Wu Wei is a supporting actor in "The Dead Are the Greatest," while Qian Zhuo is the protagonist of the script.

There must be some connection between them.

Oh no, could they have some kind of grudge?

Could it be that in the script of "The Dead Are the Greatest", Wu Wei is a minor villain who specifically opposes Qian Zhuo?
