Chapter 29: Outing and Travel (Part 1)

  It's not that if a new place for the yuan Shen to reside can't be found in one day and night, it will disperse, is there someone here who is possessed by that person? If so, would he easily let go of the old brother in the lake? The most likely possibility is that they were all destroyed by the heavenly tribulation. Qin Yifan suddenly remembered a sentence his master said years ago: "A great man! What a pity!"

  He just sighed and Qin Yifan didn't say anything else. His attention was focused on the old man's fantasy in the lake again. The recent experiences could clearly feel that the old man's strength had also risen wildly. In just a few days, it actually gave Qin Yifan an illusion of almost passing a year.

  And this time, Hu Zhong's brother took advantage of Qin Yifan's own efforts to break through his obsession and successfully led him into this real fantasy. The feeling of breaking through on his own was still firmly in his mind.

  Is it that the old brother in the lake successfully created an illusion and jumped into it, never to return, or is he hinting at something? Is his future path of martial arts cultivation going to follow the hints in the illusion step by step?

  No one can clearly say what the problem is, but Qin Yifan is indeed somewhat exhausted. Although he has temporarily recovered a bit, he still needs more. Returning to the inn, Qin Yifan did not practice for two days. After coming out of the fantasy realm, he knew that the idea of wanting to break through at all costs was unacceptable. There must be flexibility and balance between tension and relaxation, work and rest, in order to achieve success.

  And that obsession seems to have become Qin Yifan's own heart demon. All along, Qin Yifan thought he was broad-minded, but after this incident, he realized that he also had things he couldn't let go of. Fortunately, the problem was discovered at this time, otherwise, who knows what hardships would be encountered in the future. Perhaps, this time he should thank Lake Middle-aged brother for giving himself a wake-up call.

  When he reappeared by the lake, Qin Yifan only thought about fishing and had no other thoughts. However, it was just for as long as it took to catch a fish that Qin Yifan began to speak in a trance-like manner, seemingly talking to himself.

  The only ones that could be heard were the old man in the lake and the yin corpse. Lin Qiulü was still cultivating and adapting a few miles away as usual. However, there was only one person who spoke, but no one responded to him. Perhaps it should be counted as having, many times, the lake would ripple with waves, as if responding.

  "I want to go out and travel." Holding a fishing rod in his hand, but his eyes were clearly not on the float: "I want to go outside and take a look around, see this big world. Thanks for reminding me, I understand that people can't always be obsessed with something. If you want to break through, maybe you'll get stuck in a corner, or going out and taking a walk might show you some different things."

  The ripples in the lake spread out in a regular circle, as if agreeing with his words. However, immediately after that, there were several more circles that connected very tightly. Qin Yifan looked at it and seemed to understand something: "Don't worry, time won't be long, just a few months, at most two years." The ripples in the lake spread out slowly again, Qin Yifan watched them with a smile but didn't say anything.

  However, there was one more person behind him that Qin Yifan couldn't ignore. The fact that someone could get so close without making a sound and still be discovered by Qin Yifan meant that the only other person here besides the corpse was Lin Qiulü.

  "Do you want to go too?" As soon as he finished saying this sentence, the dark corpse appeared, and Qin Yifan couldn't think of any other reason.

  "Go." The corpse's movements were now very agile, and if one didn't look closely, it would be impossible to discover that she was a zombie. This was also something that Qin Yifan couldn't understand - the more powerful zombies in legend were always stiffer, so why did the Corpse Queen become more human-like as her cultivation increased?

  "It's not very convenient, is it!" Just thinking about it gives me a headache. This is a thousand-year-old corpse, and I'm supposed to take it out with me wherever I go? What a sight that would be!

  "Go!" The corpse still maintained her usual good tradition of not speaking much. Only, at the beginning it was not speaking fluently, now it's not saying much, there is a difference.

  Qin Yifan could only persuade her with a bitter tone, listing countless inconveniences of her presence, but the corpse was unmoved, stubbornly insisting on leaving. Helpless, Qin Yifan had to give in.

  "If you can meet me a few conditions, I'll take you out." Rather than letting her silently follow him, it's better to keep her within his line of sight. The yin corpse didn't respond this time, standing in place and waiting for his conditions.

  "First, don't speak in daily life, hmm, pretend to be mute." This rule is aimed at the current yin corpse's voice that doesn't sound like a human voice. As soon as she opens her mouth, Qin Yifan may be used to it, but others will definitely pay special attention when they hear such a voice from a woman with such a beautiful figure. Although Qin Yifan is not afraid of trouble, he can still avoid unnecessary trouble whenever possible.

  "Secondly, in front of ordinary people, do not casually use escape techniques and other divine powers. Let others think you are a fairy, that's fine, but if they think you are a monster, it will be troublesome. Moreover, cultivators rarely show their divine powers in front of ordinary people, first to avoid drawing attention, second to avoid trouble."

  "Thirdly, no killing without my permission." This rule is the most important. With her ability as a yin corpse, ordinary people in a village town are not enough for her to practice on, so there must be some restrictions.

  "Also, when necessary, you should hide. This is to prevent encountering greedy people like Yuan Qing Lao Dao, whether they are Jianghu martial artists or cultivators, the fewer things that happen outside, the better."

  Simply put, he only thought of these four things. The corpse had been waiting until he finished speaking before responding in a hoarse voice: "Good." It seems that he completely agreed to Qin Yifan's conditions.

  "By the way, what's your name? How should we address you when we go out?" Qin Yifan and Lin Qiulü had never thought about how to address a ghost before. In this place, as long as the ghost appeared, they would generally speak directly to it without any mistakes in addressing it. Now that they were going out, of course, they had to consider this.

  The corpse hesitated for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. After a long silence, the corpse spoke in a stuttering tone: "I... name... can't remember, you... name... is... what?"

  "Qin Yifan." Qin Yifan was quite sympathetic to Yin Shi, perhaps he said he didn't remember, but actually didn't want to think about it. After all, the events of a thousand years ago weren't pleasant things.

  "I... Qin... Xiaoling." The word "Qin" was spoken with a heavy and gloomy tone.
