Looking at the villagers, Ling Xiao spoke seriously. He wasn't trying to scare anyone.
"Then we'll trouble Little Taoist Master!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Little Taoist Master!"
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding villagers' hearts tensed up—turn into Zombies!? That would be a disaster. They all urged Ling Xiao to take the corpses away quickly.
Even the village chief's family panicked upon hearing that the infected would first go after their own relatives.
They immediately insisted Ling Xiao take them.
"By the way, Little Taoist Master, this is a token of my appreciation. Thank you for saving my daughter—please accept it!"
At the same time, a wealthy villager stepped forward and quickly stuffed a small pouch of Silver Dollars into Ling Xiao's hand.
The girl beside him blushed as she looked at the handsome Ling Xiao.
"In that case, I shall humbly accept. Farewell."
Ling Xiao smiled and accepted the pouch without refusing.
"Black One, bring the coffin and the two corpses. We're heading back!"
Ling Xiao then gave orders to Black One, who followed him into the night, carrying a coffin and two corpses on his shoulders.
……
……
A few minutes later, after walking several hundred meters out of Lotus Village, Ling Xiao waved his hand.
"Buzz!!!"
In an instant, Black One, the coffin, and the two corpses vanished from where they stood.
They were instantly transported into a dim, shadowy space.
This space was an endless graveyard, with eight tombs already present on the ground.
At that moment, the attributes of the Divine Tomb appeared before Ling Xiao's eyes.
"Divine Tomb LV1: Corpses, ghosts, and evil spirits buried here will instantly gain ten years of cultivation. 30% chance to receive special rewards!
Burial duration of 1 day = 20 days cultivation bonus!
Upgrade cost: 1000 Silver Dollars."
These were the current attributes of the Divine Tomb. As long as a body was buried here, even an ordinary corpse would become a powerful high-level Black Zombie, with strength comparable to the Third or Fourth Heaven of the Human Master Realm.
Black One was originally a White Zombie subdued by Uncle Nine. Because Ling Xiao specialized in Corpse Transporting, Uncle Nine gave him the Zombie for protection. With the power of the Divine Tomb, and the initial ten-year cultivation bonus, plus a year's growth, Black One had gained thirty years' worth of cultivation and evolved into a formidable Green Zombie.
Of course, Uncle Nine still had no idea about any of this.
This brings us to Corpse Transporting.
Corpse Transporting actually originated from the same lineage as The Sect of Corpse Refinement and is a part of Mount Mao orthodoxy.
However, many disciples of The Sect of Corpse Refinement, driven by their hunger for power, strayed onto an evil path—blood sacrifices with living humans, allowing Zombies to kill indiscriminately in order to grow stronger.
As a result, nine out of ten members of The Sect of Corpse Refinement ended up going astray.
Disciples like Ling Xiao, who followed proper practices of Corpse Refinement, were not a problem.
This was why Uncle Nine trusted him to study the teachings of The Sect of Corpse Refinement.
"Buzz!!!!"
At that moment, three new tombs opened inside the Divine Tomb. The three corpses instantly floated up and landed inside the graves.
"Buzz!!!"
With a squirming sound of soil, the three corpses were immediately suppressed and buried.
"Ding… Congratulations, Host. You have buried 1 White Zombie and 2 normal corpses. Gained EXP: 320 points.
Gained Silver Dollar: 320.
Obtained Secret Technique: Healing Spell LV1!"
"Ding… Cultivation boosted by 10 years.
White Zombie evolved into: Early-stage Green Zombie.
Ordinary corpses evolved into: Advanced Black Zombie!"
"Healing Spell LV1: After learning, it can instantly heal all ordinary wounds, greatly repair severe injuries, and rapidly purge corpse poison.
Learning cost: 100 Silver Dollars."
Just then, two system prompts sounded in his mind.
Burying one White Zombie yielded 300 EXP, while each ordinary corpse only provided 10 EXP and 10 Silver Dollars.
"A Healing Spell that can instantly heal any normal injury!? This is amazing! In a world like this, nothing is more needed than that!"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up with excitement at the notification. After all, in this world crawling with Zombies and evil spirits, the most terrifying thing wasn't just the Zombies' strength—it was corpse poison.
Even his master couldn't completely eliminate severe corpse poison.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao immediately used the Silver Dollars he just earned to learn the Healing Spell.
"Boom!!!!"
In an instant, a flood of knowledge poured into his mind. Even at LV1, the Healing Spell came with Grandmaster-level skills in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine.
Of course, those were just extras. The core of the skill was the Healing Spell itself—it had already reached the level of a true spell.
This was far beyond the capabilities of ordinary medical techniques.
"Ding… Congratulations, you have learned Healing Spell: LV1 (Upgrade cost: 1000 Silver Dollars)!"
As the prompt echoed in his mind, Ling Xiao's personal attribute panel appeared before him.
