Just as Uncle Nine and the others had returned, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng rushed in, looking anxious.
The two of them were holding three incense sticks that hadn't finished burning.
Uncle Nine frowned and took them. His eyes immediately narrowed slightly.
"Master, two short and one long — that's a bad sign!" Ling Xiao spoke up from the side.
"Senior Brother, Master, what's so bad about that?" Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"Yeah, Senior Brother, what does that mean?" Wen Cai also asked with curiosity.
"The worst thing for a person is three long and two short. As for incense, the worst is two short and one long." Ling Xiao explained. As for Old Master Ren, he wasn't worried. He just needed to bury him later and it would be over.
A late-stage Green Zombie could definitely provide him with plenty of experience and Silver Dollar.
But the person who set up the Ten-Thousand Blood Corpse-Nourishing Formation was definitely still hiding in the shadows and would show up again. That was the real trouble.
"That's right. If such incense appears in a household, someone is bound to die," Uncle Nine said seriously as he held the incense.
"Could it be the Ren family?" Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"No kidding. Who else could it be?" Uncle Nine rolled his eyes at him.
"It's not our business, so no need to worry," Wen Cai said indifferently from the side.
"But Miss Ren won't be in danger, will she?" Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"In short, anyone with the surname Ren is in trouble!" Wen Cai said instinctively. But the moment he mentioned Miss Ren, he suddenly became alert.
"Ah! Master, Senior Brother, you've got to save Miss Ren!" Wen Cai quickly said, looking anxious.
"Hey? Didn't you just say it's not our business? Why so anxious now?" Qiu Sheng teased.
"You can't say that. Saving the one you love — that's basically a shortcut to marriage!" Wen Cai said seriously.
"Oh, come on. Can't you see Miss Ren likes Senior Brother?" Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes.
"It's over, it's over. I've got no chance now!" Wen Cai looked defeated. If he were competing with Qiu Sheng, he might still have a chance, but against Ling Xiao? He might as well give up now.
"Don't drag me into this. I'm not planning to get involved in romance just yet," Ling Xiao said helplessly.
"Even if you don't want to, Miss Ren clearly does. I've got no hope..." Wen Cai looked resigned.
"Enough about that. Master, please think of a solution!" Qiu Sheng changed the subject and spoke urgently to Uncle Nine, who was still staring at the coffin in deep thought.
"Obviously! If I didn't have a solution, why would I bring the coffin back?" Uncle Nine replied calmly.
"Is there something wrong with the coffin?" Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"Of course not the coffin — it's the corpse!" Ling Xiao also stepped forward and answered calmly.
"A problem with the dead? Don't tell me it's turned into a Zombie already?" Wen Cai panicked and quickly took two steps back.
"Just open it and we'll see!" Qiu Sheng, unafraid, was about to open the coffin.
"Stop! Your Senior Brother placed an Evil-Suppressing Talisman on it. If you open it like this, the talisman will be useless!"
Luckily, Uncle Nine stopped Qiu Sheng just in time.
Qiu Sheng was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
"My Evil-Suppressing Talisman is only top-grade Yellow Rank. It's fine for dealing with White Zombies, but it can only delay the full corpse transformation of this Green Zombie," Ling Xiao explained at this moment.
He was telling the truth. He'd been concealing his true strength this whole time. After all, his progress had been far too fast.
He couldn't even explain it to Uncle Nine. Reaching Earth Master Realm and learning Corpse Refinement within a year? If people heard about that, even Uncle Nine would suspect he had turned to evil practices.
So, when he used the Evil-Suppressing Talisman, he had only used thirty percent of his power.
"Alright, Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng — get paper, brush, ink, cleaver, and wooden sword!" Uncle Nine finally remembered that although Ling Xiao was highly skilled in talismans, he was still only a Human Master Realm cultivator.
So he ordered Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng accordingly.
"Huh?!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were both dumbfounded.
Uncle Nine instantly got a headache.
Why were his disciples so vastly different in competence?
"Yellow paper, red brush, black ink, kitchen knife, wooden sword — you don't even understand that? What have you two been doing all this time!?" Uncle Nine scolded them angrily.
"Oh! That's what you meant, Master. You should've just said so!"
The two of them couldn't help but mutter after being scolded.
"Cut the nonsense. Hurry up!" Ling Xiao spoke coldly. With just that, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were so frightened they dashed off to gather the materials.
Uncle Nine then began drawing the Clean Heaven and Earth Talisman and the Evil-Banishing Talisman.
One was mid-grade Profound Rank, the other was low-grade Profound Rank.
He infused a large amount of his Mount Mao True Qi into both.
These talismans were extremely powerful. An ordinary Green Zombie would be annihilated on the spot if struck by them.
However, after drawing them, sweat clearly appeared on Uncle Nine's forehead.
"As expected, Mount Mao techniques consume too much True Qi! It must be because the Mount Mao breathing technique is too low-level!" Ling Xiao's eyes flickered at the sight.
His own True Qi concentration wasn't enough to draw Profound Rank mid-grade talismans either.
The real reason was that the Mount Mao breathing technique was too low-level.
It was only a top-grade Yellow Rank cultivation method.
The powerful techniques had long been lost to the passage of time.
Ling Xiao didn't know when he would finally obtain a cultivation method reward. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about True Qi again.
"Master, the chicken blood is here!"
