"Ding... upgrade complete. All skills have reached lv3. Upgrading to lv4 requires 30,000 experience points!"
"Ding... lv3 Divine Tomb upgrade complete. Cultivation bonus increased to 50 years, time acceleration increased to 200 times! Special reward: 40!"
Soon, a notification rang in Ling Xiao's mind.
Hearing the notification, Ling Xiao was very satisfied.
"I didn't expect the Divine Tomb to directly provide a 50-year cultivation boost. That means even an ordinary corpse, once buried by me, can gain 50 years' worth of Corpse Qi and directly become a powerful Green Zombie. And with the current time acceleration, a single day equals six to seven months in the outside world.
Ten days would equal seven to eight years.
Burying for a month would be equivalent to twenty or thirty years!
In other words, in just one year, I could cultivate a whole army of super Zombies at least at the late stage of Hair Zombie level!"
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but take a sharp breath. After all, one year was extremely short for cultivators like them.
A strong cultivator at the Earth Master Realm would need five to ten years to break through just one minor realm.
Among Uncle Nine's generation of disciples, even the most talented ones had taken fifteen years to go from First Heaven of the Earth Master Realm to Fourth Heaven.
And Ling Xiao knew these bonuses would only become more terrifying as his strength increased.
"System, open my attribute panel!"
With that, Ling Xiao directly opened his status window.

………………
Looking at his current stats, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"As expected, following the plot really pays off. Everything I gained in the past year combined doesn't even compare to the past few days!"
Ling Xiao sighed again.
Then he directly withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Tomb space.
When he checked the time outside, only a few minutes had passed.
"Wait, I think I forgot about Qiu Sheng. That ghost girl Xiaoyu might run off if she finds out I killed the spirits in the back mountain!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao remembered something that made him speechless.
However, after sensing the Evil-Suppressing Talisman he had placed on Qiu Sheng and confirming it hadn't been triggered, he relaxed. It seemed Xiaoyu, just like in the original story, didn't attack Qiu Sheng.
"Whatever, I'll check it out if the Evil-Suppressing Talisman gets triggered. For now, sleep comes first."
With that thought, Ling Xiao returned to his room and lay down to rest.
As for standing watch? With Old Master Ren's powerful Hair Zombie guarding the place, who could possibly get to him!?
Soon, dawn broke.
Uncle Nine got up early and brought Ling Xiao, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng to Old Master Ren's house.
"Wow, Master, Senior Brother, Master Ren's family is loaded! We have to charge them big this time!"
As they entered The Ren Family estate, it was Qiu Sheng's first time seeing the luxurious interior. He couldn't help but whisper to Uncle Nine and Ling Xiao.
"What do you mean 'charge big'? This is called standard additional service fees!"
Uncle Nine glared at Qiu Sheng after hearing that. This brat really didn't know how to speak properly.
"Yes, yes, that was my bad!"
Qiu Sheng chuckled sheepishly.
Ling Xiao just smiled wryly. Uncle Nine was great in every way, just a little stingy.
Of course, Uncle Nine had never been stingy with him. Back when Ling Xiao was learning to read, Uncle Nine had spent a fortune to send him to the best school. But as someone who had attended a top university in his previous life, Ling Xiao's knowledge far surpassed the local teachers of this era.
After a few months, the teacher respectfully sent him back—there was nothing left to teach him. Ling Xiao knew more than the teacher himself.
"Uncle Nine, you've arrived. Our master and young lady have been expecting you. Please, come with this old servant!"
Just then, The Ren Family's old butler spotted them and quickly came forward to greet Uncle Nine and his disciples with great respect.
"Uncle Liu, thank you for your trouble."
Uncle Nine nodded and led Ling Xiao and his three junior brothers toward the inner manor of The Ren Family. Soon, a magnificent villa appeared before them.
"Master, Uncle Nine and his three top disciples have arrived!"
As they stepped inside, Uncle Liu called respectfully.
Master Ren and Awei were chatting in the living room.
"Uncle Nine!?"
Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Master Ren immediately stood up excitedly and walked over.
Ren Tingting, who had been practicing flower arranging, also perked up at the mention of Uncle Nine. She looked eagerly toward the door.
Sure enough, she saw Ling Xiao dressed in white at a glance.
Perhaps it was due to the merit bonus, but Ling Xiao seemed even more mysterious and unfathomable today.
"Hahaha, Uncle Nine, Ling Xiao the Little Taoist Master, you've finally arrived."
Master Ren smiled and quickly welcomed Uncle Nine and Ling Xiao's group into the villa.
Having met many people, he immediately sensed that Ling Xiao's aura today was much stronger than before.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Uncle Nine, Ling Xiao the Little Taoist Master, may I ask about the matter regarding my late father's coffin?"
