Chapter 10: Accidentally Obtaining Corpse Dan, Swallowing Yin Energy!

  In an instant, I felt my stomach churning and flipping over, and I couldn't help but let out a loud "wow" as all the roasted chicken I had eaten earlier was spat out. Cold sweat poured down my forehead like a faucet, and my heart was racing wildly with a "thumping" sound. The fear in my heart spread from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

  Scarface, how dare you cook people here?

  Then what did he call me for? Wasn't it to throw me into the pot...

  I shuddered all over and didn't dare think about it anymore. The scar-faced man saw the look of panic on my face, and sneered, saying: "Kid, are you scared?"

  I hastily nodded, and Scarface hummed a sound, saying: "You don't have to be afraid either. Today I'm not going to cook you, but let you help me with something!"

  I was taken aback by his words, help?

  What can I do for him?

  "Just then, Pockmark said: 'What's being boiled in this pot is corpse oil. This pot of corpse oil will be ready by midnight tonight, but I have something urgent to attend to and can't stay here to watch it, so I want you to help me!'"

  I was shocked by his words, and Scarface actually asked me to help him boil corpse oil?

  He has so many brothers, why didn't he let his brothers help him, but instead chose me?

  The scar-faced man seemed to have seen the doubt in my heart and said: "What do you think they will think when they see the corpse in the pot?"

  I didn't say a word, but the scar-faced man grabbed me and jumped down from the big pot, came to the side of the large coffin, and said: "There is a thousand-year-old corpse in this coffin, and those corpse oil are prepared for it. After the corpse oil is cooked tonight at midnight, you just need to pour the cooked corpse oil on the corpse's body. And these talismans, you can only remove the five seals on the coffin lid and the seams of the coffin, just these few!" He pointed to those talismans and said: "Remember not to touch the rest, if you accidentally open one of them, there is a possibility that the things inside will rise from the dead. At that time, even I won't be able to save you!"

  Scarface looked at me and saw that I was stunned, so he let out a loud roar: "Did you hear that?"

  I was so frightened that I shuddered all over and hastily nodded in agreement.

  Scarface sneered, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched my chin. I felt a tickle in my throat, and a pill the size of a fingertip was swallowed down by me.

  "What you just swallowed was the corpse poison I extracted from my own body, and it will take effect in three days. If you behave yourself and help me with this matter, I'll give you the antidote in three days. But if you dare to play any tricks, in three days, your intestines will be torn apart!" He said with a smile, patting my head, "I think you have good potential, so I'm willing to take you as my apprentice. If you do this task well, I'll teach you the art of corpse control!"

  I was shocked and my heart couldn't help but curse, damn it, this scar-faced man is even more ruthless than Sun Lao Gui, actually feeding me such disgusting things, and he still wants to take me as his apprentice?

  I sneered in my heart, but I didn't dare show it on my face. I quickly nodded and said that I would never play tricks, so you can rest assured.

  Scarface seemed extremely pleased with me, patted my head and left with his hands behind his back. As soon as he left, I immediately bent down and covered my eyes with my hands.

  I struggled for a long time, but the pill didn't come out. Instead, I threw up the roasted chicken I ate before. At this moment, I heard my sister suddenly say: "Don't bother, little brother, this corpse poison is nothing to you, it's not even as toxic as the Corpse Turtle King's poison, it has no effect on you!"

  I was overjoyed at his words and just about to speak when I heard the corpse sister's solemn question: "Younger brother, tell older sister, do you want to escape from here?"

  "Can you help me?" I asked hastily.

  "Hmm!" Corpse Sister said: "However, it requires us to pay a certain price!"

  "What price?" I couldn't help but ask.

  The corpse sister pondered for a moment, then said: "I feel that the coffin is suppressing at least one corpse evil spirit with a thousand years of aura. Although it has not yet given birth to spiritual intelligence or recovered its memories from before death, its abilities should not be underestimated. Any corpse that has cultivated to the level of corpse evil spirit will have a corpse elixir born in their brain. This corpse elixir is the essence of the corpse's cultivation throughout its life, containing the yin energy it has absorbed over a thousand years. If we can dig out this corpse elixir from the brain of this corpse evil spirit and I absorb it, then I will have enough power to break open the Blood Spirit Coffin for an hour. An hour is enough time to help you clean up these miscellaneous things and take you away! However..."

  The corpse sister said here, her voice paused for a moment, I anxiously asked: "Only what?"

  "But I am currently trapped in the Blood Spirit Coffin and cannot directly absorb the Corpse Elixir. You must take it first, but be warned that the elixir contains immense yin energy, boundless and endless. You are merely a mortal, and if you don't last even a moment, your body will explode and perish!"

  I felt a chill run down my spine upon hearing this, if so, then isn't it impossible for me to escape?

  "Hehe, little brother doesn't have to be afraid, with big sister here, you naturally won't explode and die. After you take the Corpse Elixir, big sister will seep her own yin energy into your body and then devour the yin energy inside the Corpse Elixir. However, during this process, you'll be in unbearable pain, and there's also a possibility..."

  "What's possible?"

  "It's also possible that it will consume 3 to 5 years of your life!" Corpse Sister's words made my heart skip a beat, devouring the corpse elixir would consume 3 to 5 years of my life?

  How many five-year periods does one have in this life?

  To be honest, I'm a bit hesitant. If I listen to Scarface, he might not kill me, but if I do what Corpse Sister says, my 5-year lifespan will definitely be gone.

  For a moment, I hesitated!

  But the next moment I gritted my teeth and thought to myself, "Damn it, instead of sitting here waiting for death, living like an ant being pinched in someone's hand, why not take a chance? If successful, I can swim freely in the vast ocean and fly high in the sky. Even if I burn out 5 years of my life, so what?"

  "I thought of this and said: 'Alright, I'll listen to you! But this corpse is very important to Scarface, will we have a chance to make our move?'"

  "Don't worry, little brother. If I'm not mistaken, he should be going to refine the artifact that can control this thousand-year-old corpse. This is a thousand-year-old corpse, and without a powerful artifact to match it, his current cultivation level won't be enough to control it. Moreover, whenever someone refines an artifact, they will always close themselves in seclusion, so we have plenty of time!"

  "What should I do now?" I asked Corpse Sister.

  "You first uncover the five talismans I told you about before the scar-faced man, then open the coffin!"

  I nodded upon hearing this, and then followed the scar-faced man's sequence to slowly uncover those five talismans. As soon as these talismans were uncovered by me, a cold yin energy suddenly emanated from within the coffin. I couldn't help but shudder, and then, steeling myself, I pushed the coffin lid open with one swift motion.

  As the coffin lid was pushed open, a white misty aura floated out immediately. I waved my hand and saw that inside the coffin was a corpse wearing ancient official attire and a black hat.

  This corpse is very similar to those zombie images I saw in the movie, but now that I see it with my own eyes, it feels extremely terrifying.

  Its skin was dry and shriveled, its whole body like a bag of bones, but those eerie eyes were wide open, staring at me, occasionally baring its teeth, exhaling corpse gas from its mouth, with long fangs exposed outside, very frightening.

  It's actually awake!

  I was startled and retreated several steps, but then I heard the corpse sister say: "Don't worry, there are over a hundred talismans stuck on the outside, it can't move. You just need to go over, break open its skull, and take out the corpse dan."

  I swallowed my saliva and plucked up my courage, then walked over to the coffin.

  "Hoo hoo hoo!……"

  Those terrifying zombie eyes stared at me, occasionally exhaling corpse breath from its mouth. If I wasn't carrying the Blood Spirit Coffin, and the corpse sister inside didn't help me resist, even if I had swallowed the divine marrow, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand this corpse energy's invasion.

  Although this zombie is honest, its skull is as hard as an iron plate, and there are no handy tools in the house. I pondered for half a day and couldn't figure out how to crack it open.

  At this time, I suddenly felt something on my body, took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be the pipe that Grandpa had left for me.

  After seeing the cigarette gun, I instinctively thought of my grandfather and wondered where he was now and how he was doing. Then, I thought of my dad, is he still lying in his coffin?

  But at this time, I don't know what mechanism I touched, and suddenly I heard a 'click' sound. The mouth of the pipe gun jumped out, and I was shocked. With a hard pull, I heard a 'whoosh' sound, and with one pull, I pulled out the mouth of the pipe.

  But when the cigarette holder was pulled out, I only felt a flash of cold light in front of my eyes, and couldn't help but squint. When I looked again, I found that it wasn't a cigarette holder at all, but rather an extremely delicate small sword.

  This small sword is extremely delicate, not much thicker than chopsticks, its entire body gleaming with a cold light, emitting a fierce and cold killing intent. At this time, the corpse sister suddenly exclaimed: "What a fast sword!"
