A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 484: The Obsession of the Corpse in the Bronze Coffin

And look at the living conditions, ordinary wooden houses, ordinary streets.

This is where mortals live.

He could even see some collapsed stalls on the side of the street, and some reclaimed land and fields on the hillside behind.

But in such an environment, the foul air is so dense that not only ordinary people, but even people at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining cannot survive.

"Where did all the people here go? Even if they are dead, there is no grave."

Xiaocan asked.

"These should be the places where the lower-class people of the Xia family live. They are all people in the low-level Qi Refining stage or ordinary people." Lu Luan said softly.

For a force with ten half-step Jindan powerhouses, it is very normal to have millions of clansmen.

"Ah, the Xia family is so miserable. It seems that the whole family has been abducted, and even mortals were not spared." The young chief sighed.

After looking for a while, Lu Luan found nothing, so he flew into the air and continued searching around.

Soon, he stopped in a wasteland.

"Xia Family Cemetery."

As you get closer, you can see four large characters carved on a ten-foot-high stone - Xia Family Cemetery.

This is a cemetery.

Looking closely, one can see densely packed white bones piled up here.

"Brother, it looks like the bodies were dragged here and no one buried them. Since this is a cemetery, how could they be left exposed outside?" Xiao Can was puzzled.

Lu Luan said calmly, "All these people died in the same period of time. No, it should be that all the people living below died in the same period of time. The mortals died first, and then those with a certain level of cultivation died, and then slowly everyone died."

"Could it be the foul air around us?"

Xiaocan guessed.

"That should be it. This spatial treasure is damaged, and its protective ability has greatly decreased. It can no longer resist the erosion of the foul air, and it has leaked in."

"Let's go and take another look."

Shaking his head, he flew away again.

Although the space inside was wide, it was not very big for him, and he soon reached the center of this space. Unlike other places, the buildings here were extremely majestic and magnificent. It was where the monks lived.

"Xia Mansion."

He flew directly into the area with the tallest and largest buildings.

This is a huge house.

With a quick glance of his soul, he knew everything that was going on inside in a short while.

After four breaths, he arrived at the deepest part of the Xia Mansion.

"Warehouse."

That’s right, the wooden building in front of him is the warehouse of the Xia Mansion.

"boom!"

With a wave of his hand, the door was directly blown down. Although there were still some restrictions remaining, they could not stop him at all.

"Weapons?"

When you enter the first room, what catches your eye are rows of neatly arranged spiritual weapons and magical instruments. A rough estimate is that there are more than three thousand kinds.

Although there were a lot of them, there was some disappointment in Lu Luan's eyes because the number of spiritual weapons was too small, but he still put them all into the storage ring.

Then he came to the second room.

After breaking the ban, they found that it was full of pills, but the quality was very low. There were not many first-grade pills, and they were corroded by the foul air and could not be used.

Next, he turned the Xia Mansion upside down, but still didn't gain much, and felt a little disappointed.

Then he searched carefully bit by bit in this space.

Half an hour later.

"It looks like there's nothing good left."

Lu Luan stopped in mid-air, shook his head, and left.

"The internal space of this treasure is very large. We need to find a way to take it away."

He pondered.

Soon, he passed through the hole and came back outside.

At this time, the cave was still filled with corpse gas and gray fog.

"Brother, there is something floating there."

As soon as he came out, Xiao Can discovered something and pointed to the distance and said.

Lu Luan looked over and his eyes focused. A hundred feet away, he saw a blurry figure floating in the mist.

"A ghost?"

He saw at a glance that it was a ghost.

Although the soul power was weak, its quality was the best he had ever seen, and he was somewhat familiar with this state.

"Could it be the remaining soul of the old man in the bronze coffin?"

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly surged.

So he flew away immediately.

"How could I fail?"

"There's no way I'm going to fail."

"why?"

"Why? I put so much effort into it."

"How could I fail?"

The ghost was like a ball of air, with its hands dragging down, muttering to itself, with a dull look in its eyes and expressions that were sometimes confused and sometimes hideous. It was now floating aimlessly in the corpse gas.

Soon, Lu Luan arrived in front of it.

Looking at this old face that is exactly the same as the old man in the coffin, Lu Luan can be sure that this is the old man's soul, but the soul power is too weak now.

"That's weird."

Now it seems that the old man was also lying alive in the bronze coffin, but Lu Luan couldn't understand how a living person could be used to make a zombie.

The ghost ignored Lu Luan and continued to float around, muttering to himself.

Lu Luan opened his hand and took it into his palm.

"Brother, its obsession is very strong."

Xiaocan said.

"Ah."

Lu Luan nodded, and then said to himself: "I wonder if there is any method to collect the spatial treasure in the memory of this soul."

Next, close your eyes and begin soul searching.

That spatial treasure is of very high quality. If he takes it by force, it may become more damaged and its value will be greatly reduced.

Now it is just a remnant soul, and its soul power is similar to that of a person with Qi training. If it were not of very high quality and supported by obsession, it would have dissipated long ago.

In the past hundred years or so, there is very little left of the old man's soul.

He entered the soul memory very easily, but in his eyes, most of the place was empty and void, with only a few fragments left to be viewed.

As he continued browsing, Lu Luan gradually discovered some things. His expression became shocked and unbelievable, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Can rarely saw him like this, and thought there was some trouble, so he asked worriedly.

"This old man is too crazy." Lu Luan said tremblingly.

After taking a deep breath, he continued, "He wants to turn himself into a zombie so that he can break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he is even willing to sacrifice the entire family!"

"what?"

"This……"

Xiao Can's expression immediately froze, the same expression he had just had, shocked and unbelievable.

Lu Luan had seen the old man’s general experience in his memory before.

The old man was a demon cultivator in the Demon Realm, with ordinary medium yellow spiritual roots. He was half a step away from becoming a golden elixir at the age of fifty, and broke through to the golden elixir realm after much difficulty when he was a hundred years old. However, due to the limitation of his spiritual roots, the cave heaven power he used was also of ordinary stuff, so he only opened a very ordinary five elements cave heaven.

The cave was ordinary, which meant that he could not make any further progress in his cultivation after entering the Golden Core Realm. In any case, even if he broke through to the middle or even late stage, his lifespan would not increase. Normal people would usually choose to enjoy the rest of their lives at this stage, but he was a man with great desires and was unwilling to stop here with his strength, so he kept looking for ways to improve his cultivation.

Finally, when he was two hundred years old, he obtained a secret technique in a secret place of corpses, which was to transform himself into a feelingless zombie, and then use blood to stimulate his potential. This way, perhaps he would have the possibility of making further progress.

But to become a zombie, one has to go through the process of death and rebirth, and the chance of success is less than 10%. Even though it is a life-and-death situation, he still wants to give it a try.

Originally, it would be enough to use the blood of cultivators, but in order to increase the possibility of success, he actually planned to use his own blood relatives!

In the entire Xia family, all those who were above the tenth level of Qi Refining were imprisoned by him and sent to coffins. They were tortured alive in endless darkness and fear until their lifespans were over.

Unfortunately, despite the blood sacrifice of the entire family, he was still not an exception and died in the process of refining the zombie.

"For your own selfish desires, you even spared your own family?"

Xiao Can found it hard to accept. He knew that the demon cultivators were bad, but he didn't expect them to be this bad.

"For the sake of strength, immortal cultivators will sometimes resort to any means necessary, not to mention demon cultivators."

Lu Luan said.

"I can not be reconciled."

"why?"

“Why did I fail?”

The soul in his hand was still muttering to itself, sometimes ferocious, sometimes confused.

"No wonder it is so obsessed. It has sacrificed so much but still failed." Xiao Can said, looking at the soul.

"Alas, some things cannot be obtained by paying a lot, and this is especially true for cultivation. For those sects' chosen ones, this may be achieved by just going through a retreat, but for ordinary people, even if they try their best, it will be in vain in the end."

Lu Luan sighed.

"Fortunately he failed, otherwise who knows how many more people would have died in his hands."

Lu Luan shook his head and continued to check his memory.

He was actually somewhat curious about the secret technique, but after searching it, he could not find any content because the remnant soul had lost too many memories.
