I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 263 227 Deep within the Xiangxi Sect Territory

The female corpse was indeed beautiful, but Tian Lin had no inclination towards desecrating bodies.

He simply confirmed that the body was a dry corpse rather than a dead corpse and had it immediately encased.

The next four dry corpses were very much alike, all of them had just turned into dry corpses quite recently.

However, Tian Lin and Zhou Jin had no plans of controlling the corpses, so they did not fuss over the 'age' of the dry corpses.

After all the busyness, half a day had already passed.

The dawn was still some time away, and talisman papers had already been attached to all six coffins.

According to the old man, the talisman papers on the coffins could only temporarily suppress the dry corpses inside.

Once the dried blood on the forehead of the dry corpses was gone, the talisman papers would no longer contain them.

Tian Lin watched as the people from Huilong Village brought out a few more bodies, which were then ceremoniously placed into black coffins and lowered into an ancient well.

As the villagers were busy, the old man invited Tian Lin and his companion back to the courtyard to rest.

The three of them chatted through the night, just waiting for dawn when Tian Lin and Zhou Jin each tied up three coffins with ropes, carrying the heavy coffins to the tower ship to report their task.

The coffins, filled with dry corpses, were extremely heavy, and since these dry corpses could not be considered dead objects, they could not be stored in a Storage Bag.

Tian Lin remembered Elder Gao had something that could contain bodies but didn't know exactly what that was.

When the two of them boarded the tower ship, the disciples of Class C were almost at full capacity.

Zhou Mengjiao was the first to approach Zhou Jin and asked, "Brother, how are you doing?"

Zhou Jin placed the three coffins on the deck and said, "What problem is too big for your brother to handle?"

Despite saying this, he was inwardly somewhat frightened.

After all, these achievements were obtained through cheating, and he did not know whether Elder Gao would find out.

Tian Lin's gaze turned towards the people on the deck, who were talking and laughing normally. Judging by their expressions, Tian Lin felt more at ease.

He did not know how many people had managed to gather dry corpses on their own, but he knew that most people couldn't have done so without cheating.

These people seemed relaxed and carefree, indicating that Elder Gao was not very strict, making it easy to slip through.

"I wonder where Elder Gao is and where it would be best to place these three dry corpses?"

Just as Tian Lin finished speaking, one of the ropes in his hand suddenly snapped, and the lid of a coffin on the deck unexpectedly opened.

It turned out that the blood imprint on the forehead of the dry corpses inside the coffin had been pushed open by the Corpse Qi. Unable to suppress itself any longer, the dry corpse inside sprang out.

The people around watched Tian Lin and made no move to help.

Tian Lin raised his hand and struck the dry corpse with his palm, sending it directly back into the coffin.

His Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill had the effect of exorcizing evil when switched to 'Buddha' mode.

With Tian Lin's strike, the internal organs of the dry corpse were completely shattered.

But even so, this was not enough to render the dry corpse incapable of movement.

"I have already inspected the dry corpses; you two may destroy them yourselves."

A voice came from inside the tower ship; it was Elder Gao's voice.

Tian Lin was reassured and his next move was not the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill.

He directly waved his right hand, his True Qi generating a strong wind that swept the three coffins off from the deck.

All three dry corpses burst out of the coffins, but being dry corpses, they could not maneuver through the air.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Tian Lin's dry corpses gradually shrank and soon fell into the mountains below.

Zhou Jin, following Tian Lin's example, also threw the three coffins he brought back from high above.

Fifteen mid-grade Spirit Stones were nothing significant for Zhou Jin.

Since the task was now completed, there was no point in keeping the dry corpses.

"By the way, where is Senior Brother Chang Xue?"

Zhou Jin asked Zhou Mengjiao, who responded, "Senior Brother Chang Xue is probably still looking for dry corpses."

"Where are dry corpses that easy to find?"

Some couldn't help but laugh.

The group waited for a full two hours, and just as the time specified by Elder Gao was about to expire, they saw a light approaching from a distance.

They saw Senior Brother Chang Xue holding onto a rope, which was tied to a female corpse with a large bosom at the other end.

Tian Lin and Zhou Jin exchanged glances, recognizing the large-bosomed female corpse as the one Tian Lin had discarded.

They did not expect that by discarding the dry corpse, it would end up benefitting Senior Brother Chang Xue.

As Senior Brother Chang Xue boarded the ship, he patted his Storage Bag, taking out a flying sword from it.

Zhou Jin hadn't reacted yet, when he threw the flying sword towards Zhou Jin, saying: "If I remember correctly, this flying sword belongs to you, junior brother?"

Zhou Jin was startled and said, "So it was senior brother who made the bell sounds in Chaotic Burial Forest."

Senior Brother Chang Xue coughed lightly, touching the wound on his chest, and said, "At that time, I was searching for dry corpses, and unexpectedly was stabbed by junior brother's sword. Fortunately, the dense fog prevented me from discovering the flying sword in time, but it also kept the flying sword from killing me outright."

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

"Tao Yuan, you're late."

Senior Brother Changxue said with a guilty face, "Disciple searched all the surrounding mountains but did not find any unclaimed corpses, so I returned late."

Elder Gao said, "If you can't find unclaimed corpses, can't you spend spirit stones to buy claimed corpses?"

Senior Brother Changxue was startled and said, "If I did that, how would it be different from cheating? And how would it help us practice our corpse-chasing skills?"

Elder Gao's voice carried a mocking tone, "When did I ever say I wanted to train your corpse-chasing skills? In this wilderness, corpse chasers survive by nurturing corpses.

Where would there be any unclaimed corpses for you to catch? They have all been taken by these corpse nurturers.

I sent you down just to interact with those corpse chasers and see how they nurture the corpses and coffins."

Senior Brother Changxue's face turned red with embarrassment; he didn't need to look up to know that countless pairs of mocking eyes were on him.

Fortunately, Elder Gao didn't embarrass him too much and directly said, "Tao Yuan only brought back one corpse. I will considered his performance during the monthly test at the end of the month.

Seven days from now, at the same time, everyone must bring back a walking corpse."

Elder Gao's earlier words delighted everyone, but his latter words changed the expression of everyone present.

"Elder, it's already hard to find corpses, let alone walking corpses?"

Elder Gao did not show his face, just coldly said from within the room, "Don't you have spirit stones? Spend a little pocket money, what's so hard about buying a walking corpse?"

Everyone's faces looked extremely ugly; even if a walking corpse could be bought, it would cost a lot of spirit stones.

As it's known, walking corpses are equivalent to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And the combat power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot just be bought with a few spirit stones.

Zhou Jin also glanced at Tian Lin; he could generously give three corpses to Tian Lin, but to give him a walking corpse—

His family does mine, sure, but he's not the only disciple in his family.

Besides, he spends a lot on ordinary days; how could he have so much money to spend on Tian Lin?

"If you want a walking corpse, even if you have to buy it, you'll need to venture deeper into the territory of Xiangxi Sect.

The outer villages, mainly like Huilong Village, are just corpse chasers who can only pen dead bodies, likely unable to sell walking corpses."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, Zhou Jin said, "Then let's first go deeper and see before making plans."

They still planned to travel together, and the other Class C disciples who had left earlier had also descended from the tower ship with sword control.

The deeper into the Xiangxi Sect territory, the denser the corpse qi became, and the villages became fewer while places like Chaotic Burial Forest increased.

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

"If it's a low-class or intermediate walking corpse, it's fine, with our strength, it's not hard to deal with. But if it's a top-grade walking corpse, we'll need to think of a way to escape from it."

After saying this, Zhou Jin asked Tian Lin, "Junior Brother, are you planning to spend spirit stones to buy a walking corpse or to capture one yourself?"

Tian Lin replied, "Senior Brother, what do you think our next task will be after this one? If we buy a walking corpse this time, will we have the money to buy one next time?"

Zhou Jin was momentarily speechless—

After a while, he finally said, "Next time, Elder Gao surely won't ask us to catch top-grade walking corpses or even Walking Corpses, right?"

Tian Lin smiled: "Letting us catch Walking Corpses; Elder Gao probably won't do that. But I believe, the next assignment won't be easier than now."

Zhou Jin also felt troubled; he had enough spirit stones in his storage bag to buy a walking corpse.

But just like Tian Lin said, after buying one this time to complete the task, what about next time?

"Fortunately, there are still seven days; let's observe first. If it really doesn't work out, we'll buy a walking corpse to fulfill the task."

After Zhou Jin spoke, he and Tian Lin settled on a mountain peak.

The biggest difference between Xiangxi Sect's territory and the outside is that daylight seemed hard to find here.

The entire sky always looked gloomy.

However, as Zhou Jin said, there were many plants growing here unseen in the outside world, lending the landscape a unique beauty.

"The corpse qi here is extremely heavy and is not suitable for us to stay for long. Those who can survive here probably have at least Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivation."

Tian Lin's expression was somewhat solemn; he said, "Walking in such a place, besides worrying about attacks from evil spirits, we also have to be wary of these cultivators setting traps for us."

Tian Lin remembered, those corpse chasers can use ordinary dead bodies to nurture corpses.

What about using the bodies of cultivators?

They could easily refine top-grade walking corpses, which undoubtedly would be a huge fortune.

"Junior Brother Tian is joking. Elder Gao's tower ship is hanging in the air, these people must surely be wary of it. Moreover, unless these people have Nascent Soul Realm cultivation or special means, killing us will definitely not escape Elder Xue's Divination Skill."

Tian Lin nodded; The Divination Skill of Wendaos Sect indeed has unimaginable powers.

These corpse chasers, if they dare to make a move on us, would surely have a hard time escaping Elder Xue's divination.

"However, Junior Brother made a good point. The corpse qi here is too intense; it's not suitable for us to stay long."

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he spat out a Detoxification Pill and replaced it with a new one.

The two stayed on the mountain for half a day before they left for the outer edges of the Xiangxi Sect territory.

Zhou Jin meditated to expel the toxins from his body, while Tian Lin was also refining the Thunder Spirit Qi in his Dantian.

He did not know if he could make progress in Funeral Science this month, but he estimated that staying here for a full month would definitely help him consolidate a lot of Thunder Spirit Qi.

As night fell, the corpse qi in the deeper parts of Xiangxi Sect became denser.

Many of the Class C students exploring the deeper parts of Xiangxi Sect's territory all flew out with sword control, Zhou Mengjiao found Zhou Jin and said,

"All walking corpses have been captured by those corpse chasers, and evil spirits emerged at night. If we want a walking corpse, we probably really need to spend money to buy one."
