Chapter 2: Borrowing a Corpse to Return a Soul

  At the bottom of the valley, the young man's body was motionless, as if there were no signs of breathing.

  In his mind, the young catcher's soul was attached to that small tower, he was heartbroken, for his lovely wife and the child who was about to be born...

  It wasn't until much later that the young catcher's most painful period finally passed, his mind slightly clearing up, and his soul slowly spreading out from the small tower, also slowly absorbing the memories of the young man's brain that had not yet dissipated.

  He was not aware that his actions were borrowing a corpse to return a soul, but rather relied on some inexplicable guidance, and naturally followed his intentions.

  At this moment, the young man's chest began to fluctuate slightly, his heart started beating again, and his breathing slowed down and became stable. A stiff corpse that had long been frozen suddenly regained its temperature...

  He came back to life again, but his body had changed owners and the soul inside had been replaced by another person.

  One night passed, and the memories left in this body were absorbed by the young catcher at an indescribable speed, like a flash of lightning. He finally understood that he had borrowed a corpse to revive his soul, reborn through someone else's dead body.

  Although it's hard to believe, he still feels extremely lucky. In any case, he has survived again, so there is a chance to figure out what caused the catastrophic disaster that destroyed his family and took away his wife and children.

  Not only his wife and children, but also his parents, teachers, brothers and sisters, a big family of relatives, as well as familiar faces in the town...

  What took all of this away?

  Natural disaster?

  Not necessarily...

  In the blink of an eye, everything was lost. The young constable must have been heartbroken and in unbearable pain, yet still managed to keep enough composure.

  Although he was only twenty years old, his character was more calm and composed than that of his peers. Of course, without these qualities, it would not have been possible for him to stand out from the hundreds of young people in the town, be selected by the old catcher at the age of fifteen, and become the successor of the yamen.

  To become a respected gold medal detective was originally his ultimate career goal.

  But all of this is no longer important, from now on, I will have to rely on this young man's identity to survive in the world.

  Everything will be different because in this young man's memory, there actually exists a 'fairy master' that only appears in legendary stories.

  In this world, there really is an immortal master!

  No, to be precise, it should be cultivators. Although this young man is not yet a cultivator, he can only be said to be a low-level apprentice who yearns to enter the path of cultivation.

  It is said that the great masters among the cultivators possess the power to destroy heaven and earth, and the destructive power generated by their every move is more terrifying than any form of natural disaster!

  Destructive power that can destroy heaven and earth...

  A devastating disaster that destroyed our home and swept away everything in a scorching heat wave...

  The young man lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, with clear and sharp gaze, not at all like a seriously injured person who had been on the verge of death.

  "Su Che, from now on, I'll be called Su Che..."

  Su Che, that was the name of the deceased young man, who was only fourteen years old and a determined seeker of immortality with an extremely firm heart.

  He was originally a direct member of a declining Xian family, and with a decent talent, he was sent to the large Xian sect "Tianxuan Sect" with the hope of reviving the family, becoming a probationary disciple awaiting assessment and admission.

  Under the heavens, countless people seeking the Way have shaved their heads, hoping to squeeze into a genuine immortal sect and become a disciple with something to rely on.

  However, the criteria for selecting disciples among various sects are extremely stringent. Unless you have exceptional innate qualifications for cultivation, otherwise, you need to pay a lot of effort to get a chance to become an official disciple.

  Generally speaking, the formal disciples of a large sect are divided into three levels: 'outer door disciples', 'inner door disciples' and 'true transmission disciples'. As for Su Che's current status as a registered disciple, it doesn't even count as being part of the sect. He is just a self-cultivating individual wandering on the outer periphery of the sect. Once he reaches a certain level, he will be listed among the useless and completely expelled. Moreover, all his cultivation currently relies on himself and cannot get any help from the sect.

  So, nominal disciples are also called self-cultivating disciples.

  To become an official outer door disciple, according to convention, two conditions must be met:

  Firstly, one must cultivate true energy before the age of fifteen and become a first-level cultivator to prove their overall qualifications and confirm that they indeed have the potential for immortality.

  Secondly, you must complete various 'side quests' released by the school and obtain enough school contribution points.

  Neither can be missing!

  But for now, Su Che has not met a single one of them.

  I'm already fourteen years old, but I still haven't cultivated my true energy. The contribution to the sect is less than a third complete, and it's almost fifteen years old. Is the hope of cultivating immortality going to be shattered?

  In desperation, he also went all out and took on several challenging tasks with another named disciple, hoping to make a last-ditch effort, if not successful then die trying!

  Entering this mountain range, the two of them were there to gather medicinal herbs. If they could luckily gather rare and precious medicinal materials, not only would they be able to obtain enough contribution points for their sect, but also exchange for a certain amount of spiritual elixirs that would greatly aid in their cultivation, with hopes of generating true energy in the near future and formally entering the Qi Refining stage.

  So, the dream of becoming a outer door disciple was finally realized.

  Everyone says that wishes are full, reality is bony, but unexpectedly, this time entering the mountain, luck was actually not bad, and a rare spiritual herb 'Chi Yan Guo' of 300 years old was found on the precipice of this mountain valley.

  Having such a spiritual grass in hand would be enough for everything, and satisfying the entry wishes of two people at the same time is sufficient.

  A huge profit is at stake, Su Che's companion suddenly sprouted a greedy idea. When the two were climbing the cliff, taking advantage of Su Che's unpreparedness, he struck Su Che's forehead with one palm, causing him to fall off the cliff and die from serious injuries.

  It was a coincidence that gave the young constable the opportunity to borrow a corpse and return his soul.

  "Cultivate immortality, cultivate immortality, cultivating immortality can achieve eternal life. I don't care about this point, but I must figure out whether that disaster was caused by cultivators or not. If it's a man-made reason, then I'll spend my whole life to avenge this!"

  The young catcher made up his mind and was about to embark on the path of cultivation as Su Che, no matter how many hardships or dangers lay ahead.

  Of course, just being reborn is not enough. At the very least, this severely injured body of mine has been damaged beyond recognition, and I still don't know what to do about it.
