Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Wan Yi's gaze fell on a corner of the room.

There was a jade bowl there, which was originally filled with the blood of a tiger demon.

At this moment, the demon blood in the bowl had been completely absorbed, leaving only a black insect egg with golden patterns.

Compared to forty-nine days ago, it has grown several sizes larger, now about the size of a fist.

The golden "king" pattern on the surface has also become clearer.

"It's about time."

Wan Yi raised his right hand, the skin on his fingertip broke open, and a drop of bright red blood slowly squeezed out, dripping towards the insect eggs.

The next moment, the broken skin healed instantly, leaving not a trace.

It's just a clever use of the "Corpse Shaping and Restoration Technique".

This technique can be used on the dead.

It can also be used on living people.

It is extremely useful for mending limbs and treating injuries.

Even if Wan Yi's limbs were cut off, they could be sewn back together with this technique.

As the blood dripped onto the insect eggs, the eggs emitted a dazzling golden light, and their shells began to slowly crack.

A scorpion crawled out of its eggshell.

The scorpion is about the size of a fist, its body is jet black and shiny, and the golden "king" pattern on its carapace is particularly eye-catching. It brandishes a pair of sharp pincers, and its tail is slightly raised, exuding a fierce aura.

It is a successfully hatched Tiger Poison Gu!

Wan Yi activated his spiritual sense and cautiously probed towards the Tiger Poison Gu.

Unexpectedly, the moment his spiritual sense made contact, he instantly established a connection with the Tiger Poison Gu and was able to completely control it, just like controlling a corpse puppet.

Wan Yi wasn't surprised.

The Gu worms were created using secret methods after birth, and their intelligence had long been erased.

Even if they hatch from insect eggs, they are just like their mothers, lacking any intelligence.

To put it bluntly, it's a living corpse puppet.

Wan Yi manipulated the Tiger Poison Gu to crawl into his palm, and with a thought...

The Tiger Poison Gu suddenly spat out a beam of golden light towards the ground in front of it.

In an instant, wherever the golden light passed, the ground hissed and emitted plumes of black smoke, quickly corroding a pit.

The edges of the pit are still being corroded, emitting a pungent, fishy stench.

The power of a tiger's venom is truly terrifying.

Moreover, even stronger than this corrosive power is its toxicity.

If a cultivator practicing the embryonic breathing technique is poisoned by this, they will die within a quarter of an hour at most.

Wan Yi was quite satisfied.

This Gu worm can be used as a trump card.

He manipulated the Tiger Poison Gu, letting it crawl up his sleeve and into his clothes, hiding on his left shoulder, right against his skin.

This way, they can launch surprise attacks on the enemy at any time.

As for magical artifacts like the Ten Thousand Insect Bags specifically for storing Gu insects, Wan Yi never even considered purchasing them.

Firstly, the price of the ritual implements was too high, and Wan Yi was unwilling to waste the money.

Secondly, he only had this one Tiger Poison Gu, which was enough to keep on his person; there was no need to use a special magical artifact to store it.

Now, the Gu worms have successfully hatched, and we have our trump card.

Next, it's time to start crafting the corpse puppets.

After all, he was a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Hall, specializing in the art of raising corpses and refining puppets. He couldn't just make a living by sewing up corpses forever.

Only by creating your own corpse puppet can you truly gain a foothold.

For the past month or so, Wan Yi has been busy, thoroughly studying the puppet refining method.

I have a pretty good grasp of the whole process, and since I deal with corpses every day, I know them inside and out.

With his current skill level, crafting a fetal breathing corpse puppet should be no problem.

The outer disciples refine corpse puppets in the Corpse-Raising Ground.

Any outer disciple who needs to create corpse puppets can rent a piece of Yin Sha land at the Corpse Raising Ground.

The rent wasn't too expensive, but it wasn't cheap either. Fortunately, Wan Yi still had over 1,400 yuan in contributions, so he could afford it.

Of course, not all disciples of the Corpse Puppet Hall have to go to the Corpse Raising Ground to refine puppets.

Some disciples rent cave dwellings that come with their own Yin energy, allowing them to raise corpses and refine puppets without ever leaving the cave—that's incredibly convenient.

But the rent for such a cave dwelling is ridiculously expensive.

Even if Wan Yi had more than 4,000 contribution points left, he wouldn't be able to rent it for more than a few months.

It's a complete waste of money; only those second-generation immortals with family connections can afford to play this game.

Wan Yi had heard a thing or two about the second generation of immortals.

They don't need to participate in the Ascension Ceremony to join; they can directly join a sect when they reach a certain age.

Moreover, they have been cultivating in the clan since childhood, with abundant resources and profound techniques. They often reach the late stage of embryonic breathing after just entering the sect.

All that's left is to participate in the outer sect competition, and if I can successfully break through to the Qi Refining Realm, I can directly advance to the inner sect.

For them, the outer gate was just a formality; they were simply there to experience life.

That's really damnable.

Wan Yi walked out of the house, took the corpse bag, and filled it with many severed limbs from the mass grave.

While crafting puppets is important, the tasks in the mortuary cannot be neglected.

If you delay sewing corpses because of puppet making, and don't submit enough copies, and get your contribution points deducted, that would be a huge loss.

Fortunately, raising corpse puppets doesn't require constant monitoring. As long as the corpses are properly disposed of and buried in the Yin Sha land in the early stages, you only need to check on them periodically.

When it was Wan Yi's turn to be on duty at the front store, he would come back for a visit.

When mending corpses, these severed limbs have to be taken to the morgue for mending.

After getting ready, Wan Yi walked towards the front shop, preparing to leave the mortuary and head to the corpse-raising ground.

But as soon as he reached the front of the store, he stopped in his tracks.

Inside the shop stood a beautiful female cultivator, with a charming face and a slender figure, needless to say.

Especially those legs.

Tall and straight, fair-skinned and plump.

But Zhuang Yanbo, the steward on duty at the shop today, stood before this female cultivator with utmost respect, a fawning smile plastered on his face, not daring to even breathe loudly, completely unlike his usual self.

Wan Yi looked at the other party's panel, feeling surprised.

Name: Chen Zizhi

[Talent: Average Aptitude (Green), Possessing Jade Phoenix Marrow Physique (Green), Naturally Beautiful (Green)]

[Cultivation Level: Late Stage of Fetal Breathing]

[Destiny: Extra]

Is this Chen Zizhi?

Although Chen Zizhi was able to be rescued, it was ultimately her own doing.

This was the first time Wan Yi had ever met Chen Zizhi in person.

I didn't expect there to be three green talents.

If the script for "The Dead Are the Greatest" were still available, Chen Zizhi would definitely be an important supporting character, probably one of Qian Zhuo's concubines.

But now that the script has disappeared, she has been relegated to a minor role.

Wan Yi's gaze fell on the talent description of [Phoenix Marrow Body].

The other two talents are not uncommon, but the Jade Phoenix Marrow Physique is something I've never seen before.

[Jade Phoenix Marrow Body (Green): You possess a trace of spiritual energy within you, which is beneficial for condensing your immortal foundation. Male cultivators can obtain this energy through dual cultivation.]

It turned out to be the case.

Wan Yi understood.

"If it weren't for my intervention, after Chen Zizhi was enslaved by Qian Zhuo, wouldn't that wisp of spiritual energy have just benefited that scoundrel Qian Zhuo?"

"She's really getting the treatment of a main character."

After the initial surprise, Wan Yi began to have doubts.

"How did Chen Zizhi, a second-generation fairy, end up in a morgue?"

"Could they be here to buy corpses?"

"But she comes from the Chen family, a wealthy family. If she wanted a corpse, would she need to buy a cheap one from a morgue?"

"This doesn't suit her status as a second-generation fairy!"
