Chapter 2: First experience collecting corpses



“It’s not an illusion!”

Li Zhiming reluctantly slapped himself, but the words in front of him still remained.

"God will not kill me!"

Li Zhiming was so excited that he almost shouted out loud.

I never expected that when I was most desperate, the plug-in would appear out of nowhere.

"Status reset!"

Li Zhiming didn't care about any data loss or not, and chose to reset the status without hesitation.

[Resetting body status... Please wait]

【Status reset successful. 】

As the words in front of him disappeared, the heart-eating insect in Li Zhiming's body miraculously disappeared!

The injuries on his body were instantly healed and returned to its original state.

After the pain disappeared, Li Zhiming jumped up directly. He felt his intact body, and he felt clear-headed, relaxed and happy.

The only pity is that the cultivation is gone.

But he was already satisfied. For him, it was enough for his body to recover. As for his realm and cultivation, he could just keep practicing.

"Tian Yaoyao, Qi Yang!"

"When I get out, I'll kill you all!"

Li Zhiming talked to himself, a surge of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

[Host: Li Zhiming]

[Realm: None]

[Age: 16 years old]

[Lifespan: 89]

【Luck: 59】

【Charm: 66】

【Kung Fu: None】

【Martial Arts: None】

[Secret method: None]

[Strength Points: 0]

A data panel similar to the one in the game appeared in front of Li Zhiming, allowing him to intuitively see his current status.

Li Zhiming clenched his fists, his strength was not small.

It should be the foundation accumulated from so many years of practice. Although his cultivation has been lost, some of his physical fitness has been retained.

In this way, when he practices again, his improvement speed will be much faster.

The system requires collecting corpses to obtain rewards, and in Xuyuan Prison, the thing that is most in short supply is corpses.

Too many inmates died in prison, and the task of their prison guards was to patrol the designated areas every day and clean the empty cells. They were also responsible for moving and disposing of the bodies inside.

"Although my body has recovered, the Yin Sha death energy will not disappear. Without sufficient strength and the corresponding elixir support, the Yin Sha death energy will corrode my body sooner or later."

Li Zhiming's expression became solemn. He now urgently needed to become stronger.

Because only when one reaches the ninth level can one cultivate true Qi to resist the evil and death energy.

There is a clear division of levels in martial arts, starting from the lowest level.

The low-level training is divided into three stages: moving blood, strengthening the body, and tempering bones.

When one's physical fitness reaches a certain level, one will be able to feel and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for use by oneself. Only then can one be considered to have truly entered the path of martial arts, which is what people call qigong.

Above the lower grades are the ninth grade, eighth grade, seventh grade... all the way to the first grade, and above the first grade are the realms of master and grand master.

According to legend, if one cultivates to the level of a grandmaster, one can touch the secrets of extraordinaryness and immortality.

However, there are very few who can cultivate to the first level, and super-powerful masters are even rarer.

As for the level above Grand Master, Li Zhiming had never heard of anyone reaching that level since he came to this world.

Of course, just because he doesn't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, this world is huge.

The Dongxuan Territory is only a part of the Yingzhou continent. Moreover, there are six continents like Yingzhou. In addition, there is a Central Continent, which is said to be the center of the world and the pinnacle of martial arts.

With this thought in mind, Li Zhiming regained his composure.

The Xuyuan Prison is filled with a thick aura of evil and death, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

If you want to become stronger quickly, you have to rely on the corpse collection system.

Just as Li Zhiming was thinking about where to collect the bodies, clear footsteps were heard outside.

Along with the footsteps came the whispers of two people.

"Have you heard that the demon girl from the Hehuan Sect was captured by the Inner Sect some time ago and was imprisoned on the fourth floor!"

"Is it Ji Ling'er, the beautiful and charming girl of the Hehuan Sect?"

"That's her... If I could be with a woman like this, tsk tsk..."

"Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?... She will suck you dry!"

"What do you know? To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost!"

"It's a pity that the seal on the fourth floor is so strong that I'm afraid she has already become a corpse."

"The witch of the Hehuan Sect..."

"Fourth floor, corpse?!"

"interesting."

When Li Zhiming heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He grasped the key information.

He had heard of Ji Ling'er, a peerless talent from the Hehuan Sect with outstanding gifts and was seen as the future of the Hehuan Sect. He did not expect that she would be captured by their Zhenyuan Sect. It was a bit unexpected.

Shouldn't the sect take good care of a genius of this level?

Li Zhiming didn't think about it anymore. No matter what, this was a good thing for him.

I wonder what kind of reward a strong person at the level of corpse collector will get?

Li Zhiming narrowed his eyes and had some ideas in his mind.

"Li Zhiming, come back alive!"

Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ears. The two people who had just been whispering came to the torture room where Li Zhiming lived.

The speaker was a young man wearing a black robe with a black token hanging around his waist.

He was not an ordinary jailer, but a patrol disciple of a higher level.

The patrol disciple receives a monthly salary of 500 gold coins, plus ten spirit stones and five vitality pills.

By comparison, jailers are the worst of the rest.

"What kind of work?"

"There are two empty cells. Go and take away the bodies inside and clean up the cells at the same time." The patrol disciple ordered.

"Understood."

Li Zhiming followed the patrol disciple and walked forward along the corridor. From time to time, he could hear the sound of sobbing wind.

The entire Xuyuan Prison was built in the stone walls surrounding the tiankeng. The huge pit in the middle extended all the way downward. It was pitch black, like an abyss.

It is said that even the ancestor of Zhenyuan Sect was unable to reach the deepest part, so no one knows what the scene is like at the deepest part of Xuyuan.

"It's the two rooms in front. There are two bodies in total. I leave it to you."

The patrol disciple patted Li Zhiming on the shoulder.

"good."

Li Zhiming pushed the door open and a faint foul smell hit him in the face.

All cells have restrictions. The restrictions become stronger as you go down, and the more layers there are. The cells that suppress big demons and monsters even have more than five layers of restrictions!

When the person imprisoned in the cell has no life, a powerful elder will come to confirm the death, and after confirmation, he will be handed over to the patrol guards for handling.

Most patrol guards would leave the task of cleaning the cells and dealing with corpses to their prison guards.

The first level of Xuyuan Prison where Li Zhiming is located is mostly incarcerated with humans, sect traitors, and captives of rival sects.

The bodies in the cell had already become stiff and covered with corpse spots, and mosquitoes were hovering around the bodies, ready to spread their seeds.

Li Zhiming spread out a straw mat, placed one of the male corpses on it, helped him tidy up his clothes and hair, then put his hands together and muttered something.

"May the Buddha bless you and may you be happy in your next life."

After the simple ceremony, Li Zhiming wrapped the man's body with a straw mat and tied it tightly with a rope.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the first corpse collection and receiving a surprise gift package]

[Traitor Cai Kun of the Corpse-Collecting Sect, lifespan +1 year, reinforcement points +1, HP +999]

[Congratulations to the host for entering the ninth level of martial arts. ]

Li Zhiming felt the changes in his body. His energy, blood and strength increased dramatically, and he directly broke through to the ninth level of martial arts.

At the same time, spiritual energy gathered towards himself, and with the help of the true energy value rewarded from collecting corpses, his realm jumped to the middle stage of the ninth level!

“It’s so cool!”

Li Zhiming felt his mind become clearer and his body became more relaxed!
