As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

into the night.

Shen Qing lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep as she thought about what had happened that day.

The Corpse-Sleeping Path sounds like a sect, and it also has practitioners with supernatural powers.

So many corpses, although they weren't bold enough to casually use living people to create corpses, they were clearly afraid of the government. But it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

The counselor, Zhou Ming, ended up in such a state simply because he was involved with him and Wu Yuan.

He had ruined their plans twice... yet he wasn't worried about himself.

"Luckily, my older brother and his family are moving soon."

Shen Qing turned over and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thinking about Xie's father's invitation to his elder brother during the day, he wondered if there was a reason behind it, but he still had to accept the favor.

"However, my elder brother hasn't agreed yet; we must persuade him."

I was thinking about something, and the more I thought about it, the less I could sleep.

Shen Qing suddenly sat up, looking at the walls around her that were peeling due to dampness, "Ah, when will I be able to buy a house?"

He opened his mobile banking app and checked his balance—341,092.

It'll be soon; I've already spent over 300,000, which is almost enough for a down payment.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like buying a house was just around the corner. He suddenly became excited and couldn't sleep, so he simply started cultivating.

Future strength is everything.

"It's almost time for my probationary period assessment."

……

While Shen Qing was unable to sleep and was cultivating, there was another person on Jin Gu Street who also couldn't sleep.

The area was still cordoned off, and the air was thick with the smell of disinfectant.

A figure, completely covered up and dressed in black, blending into the night, crossed the police line without making a sound.

"Ha, they even secretly arranged for people to help them."

He glanced disdainfully at a nearby building, then turned and walked into the alley behind the old building.

Looking at the basement door, which was also cordoned off and had been opened, a strong smell of disinfectant filled the air.

Even without going inside, one could guess that all the preparations had been in vain.

The man in black trembled uncontrollably, and it took him a long time to suppress his anger.

He stretched out his right hand and placed it on the locust tree. Many figures flashed by, blurry and fragmented, until they settled on the clearest figure.

Shot hard.

He easily dealt with the wooden goblins and zombies he kept, not to mention the other useless henchmen.

Rank 8.

A mere eighth-rank cultivator, perhaps not even one who has mastered any innate abilities, otherwise what noble supernatural being would engage in close combat?

That's incredibly rude.

But all his hard work was ruined like that?!

The man in black clenched his fist uncontrollably, easily tearing off a piece of bark from the tree.

He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, a mere eighth-rank dares to cause me trouble... If this were within our sect's territory, I'd turn your whole family into walking corpses!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The man in black was now certain that the zombie he had encountered last time had died at the hands of this kid.

Creating a living corpse not only requires specific birth dates and times, but the person creating it also has to pay a price.

After the previous one was dealt with, he went to investigate the cause and unexpectedly discovered another target that met the requirements, but it was dealt with before it could be successfully refined.

If we don't do something, it will be hard to quell the hatred in his heart!

"Kid, you'll regret this!"

The man in black released the locust tree and disappeared in a few flashes, but he didn't notice that a faint red dot was flashing in the shadows of the alley.

If you don't get close, you can't even see it with the naked eye.

……

Binhai Branch Underground Base.

Fang Shu sat in the monitoring room, watching the monitors. There were more than a dozen small windows, several of which showed live footage of Jingu Street.

In night vision mode, the actions of the men in black were captured clearly.

"The Corpse-Sleeping Path... bypassed both captains?"

Another person who has at least opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, or even reached the seventh rank of supernatural power, is someone who either doesn't understand or looks down on and disdains understanding modern technology.

They are a sect that deals with corpses and trees.

"They know they can't act easily, so they've already started recruiting others."

Fang Shu muttered to himself, picking up a folder from the monitoring console in front of him, "...Amusement Group".

A long-established tourism enterprise in Binhai City, at its peak it almost monopolized the tourism market in Binhai City and the surrounding cities.

However, due to the rise of self-driving tours, it has been declining in recent years.

For development, Jingu Street was once invested and developed by the other party, but due to the terrain and various problems, it was abandoned after only a few years.

And the company whose boss is Guangfei Technology, which is also owned by zombies, also has investors from the other party.

"Two coincidences?" Fang Shu tapped his fingers on the table.

However, there is no direct evidence that the other party is related to the Corpse Sleeping Path. At present, it can only be suspected, after all, investing in Internet companies and commercial streets is normal.

……

"I've put breakfast on the coffee table in the living room."

The next morning, Shen Qing bought breakfast and was about to go out when he glanced at the closed side bedroom. The heroine had actually stayed in bed today.

"I'm leaving."

He called out into the room, and just as he turned around, there was a click behind him as the side bedroom door opened.

"etc."

Shen Qing turned his head, and the female knight leaned out halfway, her head lowered, looking like a timid little cat that had done something wrong and been scolded.

"Um... I'm sorry, I was rude yesterday."

She didn't know why she reacted so strongly yesterday.

Shen Qing was taken aback at first, then waved her hand, "It's nothing, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

He didn't take it seriously at all; he was just a little loud. However, he was quite pleased that the heroine apologized in time.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

……

Time passed quickly, and a relatively peaceful week followed. Shen Qing inquired about the situation in the Corpse-Sleeping Path with the captain.

However, it is not clear and is still under investigation.

On Saturday, the last day before departure, Shen Qing, who had been cultivating until evening, suddenly opened his eyes after spending the day with the female warrior and buying some things.

"It's still a little short; the Qi and Blood Pill is not suitable for opening up the meridians."

In one week, he refined the last Qi and Blood Pill, and was only one step away from fully opening the first meridian and breaking through to the eighth rank.

However, it wasn't that easy, even with the help of the relevant keywords.

No wonder many veteran members who have been there for half a year or even longer are still stuck at the ninth rank. In that case, He Ying's breakthrough to the eighth rank in just over a month shows that her cultivation speed is indeed fast.

Although the training camp has various ways to obtain cultivation resources, it cannot be denied that there are some outstanding individuals.

"The capital city?"

This was his first time visiting the capital in this lifetime, and he felt a mix of excitement and unease, like the excitement of a pre-trip trip.

The next day, Shen Qing got up early and finished explaining things to Shen Qingtang.

"I'm leaving."

He stood in front of the door, carrying a backpack.

There shouldn't be any problem, after all, the female warrior now basically knows how to use a mobile phone, and she has his secondary SIM card and has also linked her family card.

But as soon as she stepped out of the house, Shen Qing couldn't help but turn back.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Shen Qingtang tilted her head slightly.

"If there are any problems that you can't handle, go to my older brother and sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, I'll be back in three or four days at most."

As soon as Shen Qing spoke, he felt like an old father, giving endless instructions to his daughter who was going to look after the house alone.
