Evil Immortal!

Chapter 71, "The Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing"!

Zhang Wei was both surprised and delighted, clutching the three talismans tightly in his hands. The other players glanced at him with envy, wanting to say something, but after looking at Master Ziyang in front of them, they ultimately remained silent.

Ding!

Just then, a message appeared on their screens.

You have triggered the B-rank quest "Lost Item"!

[Lost Item] (Quest not yet activated)

Mission Description: Master Ziyang once lost something at the Corpse Buddha Temple, and he hopes you can help him find it. However, with your current cultivation level, you are not yet qualified to meet Master Ziyang's requirements. To start this mission and obtain its details, you must first become cultivators. Before that, you need to investigate the Corpse Buddha Temple and understand its situation.

Mission Reward: Unknown Rank B Mission!!!

The group gasped for breath, then erupted in ecstasy.

"Holy crap, I'm rich!"

.

"Yeah, it's a B-rank mission! The deputy captain of the river patrol team and I spent ages trying to trigger an E-rank mission, which was to help him find a missing river patrolman. The reward was only 300 experience points and 50 copper coins, and even that would take several days to complete. A B-rank mission?! That's outrageous!"

'

"The difficulty of a B-level mission must be very high. Without becoming a cultivator, one cannot even know the mission details. It seems that this mission is not a solo mission at all, but a team mission. We need to work together to complete it."

"Isn't this great? The higher the difficulty of the mission, the richer the reward! Whether we can surpass the other players and stand out from the crowd depends on whether we can seize this opportunity!"

""

Seeing the look of surprise on their faces as they huddled together and whispered amongst themselves, Meng Yuan's eyes flickered a few times before he looked at the panel in front of him. [You have issued the quest "Lost Item (Not Activated)"]

[

Task Description: ...

Task Rewards: Undetermined (Rewards can be set, including but not limited to money, spirit stones, experience, cultivation techniques, magic weapons, weapons, etc.)

...)

"Not bad, I can indeed issue quests to players..."

""

Meng Yuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

As for the so-called loss of something at the Corpse Buddha Temple... that was of course just a fabricated excuse.

Meng Yuan's real purpose in issuing this mission was to obtain something from the Corpse Buddha Temple.

The Corpse Buddha Temple was originally just an ordinary temple called Sandalwood Temple, but later, for some reason, all the monks in the temple died suddenly.

The corpse Buddha inside the Corpse Buddha Temple has a special origin. It is not a member of this temple. In its lifetime, it was a disciple of the famous Buddhist holy site of Daxuyu Temple in the Central Plains. For some unknown reason, it came to a remote place like Yunzhou and perished here.

Even after his death, his resentment lingered, and he even cultivated a golden body of a corpse Buddha. He forcibly converted many living people and evil spirits, making them convert to Buddhism and chant scriptures and meditate.

Later, some people heard chanting coming from the temple, with the sounds of Buddhist hymns echoing throughout.

However, the temple had been abandoned for a hundred years. Upon curiously entering, the person discovered a corpse resembling a Buddha, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform. Countless corpses, evil spirits, and demons surrounded the corpse Buddha, worshipping and chanting Buddhist scriptures. The whole scene was eerie and sinister, so the person was frightened and fled in panic.

As the story spread, it gradually came to be known as the "Corpse Buddha Temple".

Of course, these are not important.

Most importantly, the Corpse Buddha Temple contains many good things!

The other things aside, the key point is that there is a technique called "Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing" among them. This technique is the way of Zen martial arts, a Buddhist martial art, and also a world-class body-strengthening martial art.

The so-called "horizontal training" means to forge the physical body.

Martial arts that involve external force training are not uncommon. Examples include "Golden Bell Cover", "Iron Shirt", "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill", "Copper Bone Demon Skill", "Heavenly Gang Body Forging Technique", and "Earthly Fiend Hunyuan Skill".

However, the "Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing" is not an ordinary martial art for physical training. When cultivated to its extreme, reaching the state of "neither withering nor flourishing, yet both withering and flourishing", one will cultivate the Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing Dharma Form, which not only makes one's physique extremely strong, but also makes one's vitality incomparably vigorous.

As long as the soul is not damaged, no matter how severe the injury, one will never die. Even if one's heart is ripped out or one's head is cut off, there is still a chance to recover completely.

Once mastered, it will greatly enhance his ability to survive and his combat power. He will not be afraid of enemies whose cultivation is slightly better than his. It is a first-class life-saving skill!

The open beta has now begun, and players have arrived, but this is only the beginning.

Next, more and more players will continuously flood into the world of [Evil Immortal], and the main storyline of version 1.0 will also be launched soon. At that time, demons will run rampant, chaos will be rampant, and the entire world of Evil Immortal will usher in a series of bloody and violent events!

Among these major events, various powerful and extraordinary individuals emerged, including some seasoned veterans and long-standing demons!

Although Meng Yuan was confident in his own strength, he also had to consider who he was being compared to.

Compared to the younger generation in the cultivation world, he could be considered a cultivation genius, but compared to those real old monsters and demons, he was just a junior and couldn't even be ranked.

Therefore, he still needs to improve his strength as much as possible and build up his foundation in order to deal with these major events in the near future!

As for why the player has to help instead of the player going to the Corpse Buddha Temple himself... there are reasons for that too.

The other evil spirits in the Corpse Buddha Temple were manageable; although dangerous, Meng Yuan figured he could barely handle them. The key was that the Corpse Buddha was no ordinary being, being a Yin God-level existence. Although it might still be asleep, Meng Yuan didn't intend to take any risks.

After all, he only has one life.

On the contrary, the players have the ability to resurrect after death. It doesn't matter if they die; they can use them to achieve their own goals!

Meng Yuan looked at the heads of the players and saw that each of them had a special balance scale mark, black on the left and white on the right.

On the balance scale, there are some graduations. The middle number is "0", the black end on the left is "-100", and the white end on the right is "100".

0

Furthermore, the scale values ​​are marked with symbols such as "mortal enemy, hatred, hostility, indifference, peace, friendliness, respect, and worship".

This is clearly a favorability adjustment; "0" is a value between indifference and neutrality.

Once it turns negative, it means that it is starting to develop in the direction of indifference, hostility, or even hatred.

Conversely, it can also mean friendliness, respect, or worship.

In addition, Meng Yuan discovered that two more function options had appeared on his panel.

One is the official forum, where players can post, share game guides, play games, trade, chat, and joke around after logging in or when they are bored in the game.

There are very few posts on the forum right now. The open beta has just started, and everyone is busy exploring, fighting monsters, and doing quests, so they don't have time to browse the forum.

However, once players have a basic understanding of the world of [Evil Immortal] in the next few days, the forums will likely become very lively.
