Chapter 227: Deep in the Xiangxi Sect’s Territory

The female corpse was indeed beautiful, but Tian Lin did not have the habit of desecrating corpses.

He was only sure that the body was a mummy and not a dead body, so he had it buried directly.

The next four mummies were all very similar, and without exception they had just become mummies not long ago.

But Tian Lin and Zhou Jin had no intention of controlling corpses, so they did not care about the age of the mummies.

Half a day had passed in this busy work.

There was still some time before dawn, and talismans had already been pasted on the six coffins.

According to the old man, the talisman paper on the coffin can only shock the mummy in the coffin for a while.

Once the blood he had applied between the mummy's eyebrows had dried up, the talisman paper would no longer be able to suppress the mummy in the coffin.

Tian Lin watched as the people from Huilong Village carried out a few more corpses, put them into black coffins and placed them in the ancient well.

While the villagers were busy, the old man invited Tian Lin and the other man to go back to the yard to rest.

The three of them chatted all night, and when dawn came, Tian Lin and Zhou Jin tied up the three coffins with ropes, carried the heavy coffins and flew to the ship to report.

The coffins that contained the mummies were extremely heavy, but these mummies could not be considered dead objects, so they could not be put into the storage bags.

Tian Lin remembered that Elder Gao had something that could hold corpses, but he didn't know what it was.

When the two of them boarded the ship, the ship was almost full of disciples from Class Bing and Wu.

Zhou Mengjiao walked towards Zhou Jin first and asked, "Brother, how are you?"

Zhou Jin placed the three coffins on the deck and asked, "What could be so difficult for your brother?"

Having said that, he was somewhat timid.

After all, this result was obtained by cheating, and I don’t know if it will be discovered by Elder Gao.

Tian Lin looked at the people on the deck. They looked normal and were talking and laughing. Seeing their expressions, Tian Lin felt relieved.

He didn't know how many people had assembled the mummies through their own means, but he knew that it was impossible for most people to assemble the mummies without cheating.

The fact that these people are so relaxed now shows that Elder Gao did not investigate strictly enough and it is easy for them to get away with it.

"I wonder where Elder Gao is. Where should we put these three mummies?"

Just as Tian Lin finished speaking, a rope in his hand suddenly broke, and the lid of a coffin on the deck suddenly opened.

It turned out that the blood fingerprint between the brows of the mummy in the coffin had been washed away by the mummy's corpse qi, and the mummy could no longer be suppressed and finally jumped out.

Everyone around was looking at Tian Lin, and no one was willing to help him.

Tian Lin raised his hand and slapped the mummy, which was knocked back into the coffin.

His Buddha and Demon Freedom function can turn a demon into a Buddha, and when it is converted into a 'Buddha', it always has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

The mummy was hit by Tian Lin's palm and its internal organs were completely shattered.

But even so, it was not enough to make the mummy lose its ability to move.

"I have examined the corpse, you two can destroy it yourselves."

A voice came from the building ship, and it sounded like Elder Gao's voice.

Tian Lin felt very calm, and when he attacked again, it was no longer the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique.

He simply flicked his right hand, and the internal energy created a strong wind that swept the three coffins off the deck.

The three mummies burst out of the coffins, but mummies were mummies after all, and they could not move with the wind.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the three mummies of Tian Lin gradually shrank and soon fell into the mountains below.

Zhou Jin followed Tian Lin's example and threw the three coffins he brought back from a high altitude.

Fifteen mid-grade spirit stones are nothing to Zhou Jin.

Now that the mission has been completed, there is no point in keeping these three mummies.

"By the way, where is Senior Brother Changxue?"

Zhou Jin asked Zhou Mengjiao, and heard Zhou Mengjiao say, "Senior Brother Changxue is probably still looking for the mummy."

"Where is it so easy to find a mummy?"

Some people couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone waited for two full hours, and when the time agreed upon by Elder Gao was almost up, they saw a beam of light approaching from afar.

I saw that Senior Brother Changxue was holding a rope, and at the other end of the rope was tied a big-breasted female corpse.

Tian Lin and Zhou Jin looked at each other and recognized that the busty female corpse was the one Tian Lin had thrown away.

The two of them didn't expect that after Tian Lin threw away the mummy, Senior Brother Changxue got a chance to find it.

At this time, Senior Brother Changxue got on the boat. He slapped his storage bag and took out a flying sword from it.

Before Zhou Jin could react, he threw the flying sword towards Zhou Jin and said, "If I remember correctly, this flying sword is yours, Junior Brother?"

Zhou Jin was startled and said, "So the sound of the bell in the mass grave forest was made by my brother."

Senior Brother Changxue coughed lightly, touched the wound on his chest, and said, "I was looking for the dried corpse at the time, and I didn't expect to be stabbed by Junior Brother's sword. Fortunately, although the heavy fog prevented me from discovering Junior Brother's flying sword early, it also prevented Junior Brother's flying sword from killing me directly."

Zhou Jin's face turned red, and just as he was thinking about how to apologize, Elder Gao's voice rang out from the ship.

"Tao Yuan, you are back late." Senior Brother Changxue said with a guilty look on his face, "I have searched all the surrounding mountains but couldn't find the ownerless mummy, so I am back late."

Elder Gao asked, "If you can't find an ownerless mummy, can't you spend spirit stones to buy an ownerless mummy?"

Senior Brother Chang Xue was shocked and said, "If we do that, how is it different from cheating? And how can we improve our ability to catch corpses?"

Elder Gao said in a mocking voice, "When did I say I wanted to train your ability to catch corpses? In this wilderness, corpse drivers make a living by raising corpses.

Any mummies that existed have already been captured by these corpse raisers. How could there be any ownerless mummies waiting for you to capture?
I asked you to go down just to let you communicate with those corpse drivers and see how they raise corpses and coffins. "

Senior Brother Changxue's face turned red with shame. He didn't even need to look up to know that countless eyes were looking at him with mockery in secret.

Fortunately, Elder Gao did not embarrass him too much and said directly: "Tao Yuan only brought back a dried corpse this time. I will take his performance into account during the monthly exam at the end of the month.

Seven days later, at the same time, everyone will bring back a zombie."

The first half of Elder Gao's sentence made everyone happy, but the second half made everyone present change their expressions.

"Elder, mummies are not easy to find, let alone zombies?"

Elder Gao did not show up, but said coldly in the room: "Don't you have spiritual stones? It's not difficult to spend some of your pocket money to buy a corpse?"

Everyone's faces looked extremely ugly. Even if they could buy the zombies, how many spirit stones would it cost?
You know, the walking corpses are equivalent to the foundation-building monks.

However, the combat power of a foundation-building cultivator cannot be bought with just a few spirit stones.

Zhou Jin also glanced at Tian Lin at this time. He could generously give Tian Lin three mummies, but if he was asked to give Tian Lin a walking corpse -

It is true that his family is a mining family, but he is not the only disciple in his family.

Besides, he has a lot of expenses on a daily basis, so where would he get so much money to spend on Tian Lin?

“If you want a zombie, even if you have to buy it with money, you have to go deep into the Xiangxi Sect’s jurisdiction.

Most of the villages outside this area are run by corpse drivers like Huilong Village, who can only keep mummies. I’m afraid they can’t buy zombies.”

After Tian Lin finished speaking, Zhou Jin said, "Then let's go deeper and take a look before making any plans."

The two of them still planned to travel together, while the other disciples of Class Bing and Wu, who had gone ahead of them, had already left the ship in groups of three or four on their swords.

The further into the Xiangxi Sect's territory one goes, the heavier the corpse aura becomes, the fewer villages there are, and the more places like mass graves there are.

Tian Lin and others could even see some abandoned villages from high altitude.

"If they are low-class zombies or even middle-class zombies, it's not that hard to deal with them with our strength. But if they are high-class zombies, we have to think of a way to escape from them."

After saying this, Zhou Jin asked Tian Lin, "Brother, do you plan to spend spirit stones to buy the zombies, or do you plan to catch them yourself?"

Tian Lin asked him back: "Brother, what do you think, after we completed this mission, what will the next mission be? We can spend money to buy zombies this time, but will we have money to buy zombies next time?"

Zhou Jin was speechless for a moment——

After a long while, he said, "Next time, next time, Elder Gao won't ask us to catch some high-quality zombies or even zombies, right?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "Elder Gao will not do such a thing as asking us to catch zombies. But I think the next mission will not be easier than this one."

Zhou Jin was also in a dilemma. The spirit stones in his storage bag were enough to buy zombies.

But as Tian Lin said, I bought the zombies this time to get the job done, but what about next time?

"Fortunately, there are still seven days left. Let's wait and see what happens. If it really doesn't work, we can buy some zombies to get the job done."

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he and Tian Lin settled down on a hilltop.

The biggest difference between the Xiangxi Zong jurisdiction and the outside world is that it seems difficult to find Rizhao here.

The whole sky always looks gloomy.

However, as Zhou Jin said, there are many plants growing here that are rarely seen in the outside world, and such scenery has a unique beauty.

"The corpse qi here is extremely heavy, and it is not suitable for you and me to stay for a long time. And those who can survive here must have at least the foundation-building or even golden elixir cultivation level."

Tian Lin's expression was a little serious. He said, "When walking in a place like this, besides worrying about attacks from evil spirits, we also have to worry about these monks setting traps for us."

Tian Lin remembered that those corpse drivers could use ordinary corpses to raise mummies.

What if we use the corpse of a cultivator?
It is entirely possible to refine high-quality zombies very easily, which would undoubtedly be a windfall.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​you are joking. Elder Gao's ship is suspended in the air, so these people will definitely be cautious. Besides, unless these people have reached the Nascent Soul stage, they have no special means to kill us. They will definitely not be able to escape the divination of our Elder Xue."

Tian Lin nodded and said that the divination technique of the Taoist sect was indeed unpredictable.

If these corpse-drivers really dare to attack him and others, it will be difficult for them to escape Elder Xue's divination.

"However, Junior Brother is right. The corpse qi in this place is too strong. It is not suitable for us to stay for a long time."

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he spat out the detoxification pill in his mouth and replaced it with another one.

The two stayed on the top of the mountain for half a day, and finally left the mountain and went to the outskirts of Xiangxi Sect's jurisdiction.

Zhou Jin was meditating to expel the poison from his body, while Tian Lin was also refining the thunder spiritual energy in his dantian.

He didn't know whether he could make any progress in funeral studies in this place this month, but he estimated that if he stayed here for a full month, his thunder spirit energy would definitely be able to condense a lot.

By nightfall, the smell of corpses became thicker deep in the Xiangxi Sect's territory.

Many of the students from Class C and Class E who were exploring deep within the Xiangxi Sect's territory flew out on their swords. Zhou Mengjiao found Zhou Jin and said,
"The zombies have all been caught by the corpse drivers, but the evil spirits come out at night. If we want zombies, we may have to buy them with money."
