Chapter 2 Encountering a Robber Cultivator on the Road, First Reincarnation
Lin Li found himself in complete darkness.
It seemed as if there was a thick layer of glue surrounding it, making it extremely difficult to move.
Not only is it impossible to see the light of day, but even stretching out one's arms and legs becomes a problem.
Not only is it boring, but if he can't get out of here in the future, it's better to just die and send him to be reincarnated.
At least there's the Blood-Eyed Raven option, which isn't so bad.
Soon after.
Lin Li sensed that the malevolent energy that had surged into his body had reached a critical point.
After crossing the critical point, Lin Li's five senses were enhanced again, and the strength in his limbs was far greater than before.
Even so, it was still extremely difficult for Lin Li to move.
At the same time, Lin Li, who had been promoted to Iron Corpse, occasionally had memories of his previous life pop into his head, and learned some basic common sense about the cultivation world.
In his previous life, this Iron Corpse was a powerful martial artist in the secular world who aspired to cultivate immortality.
However, lacking spiritual roots, he could only mingle in the marketplace as a servant of a martial artist, following alongside cultivators.
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
Swish!
A tremendous repulsive force appeared, sending Lin Li away.
"An iron corpse at the early stage of Qi Refining only costs eleven spirit stones."
"Eleven yuan is not appropriate."
"The murderous aura on this iron corpse is not strong, so it must have just advanced not long ago, and it's worth at most six spirit stones."
"Such an iron corpse is fine for protecting one's descendants in the mortal world, but if cultivators were to fight, it would be a sitting duck."
"Six pieces?"
"Too low."
At this moment, Lin Li saw the female cultivator surnamed Zhang who had captured him earlier, struggling with a withered old man with a white beard.
Judging from their words, it seems that this female cultivator surnamed Zhang is going to sell herself!
Lin Li stood frozen in place, looking around. On both sides of the street, there were many similar stalls, each with cultivators dressed in different clothes trading.
"Just don't keep putting me in a body bag."
Lin Li thought to himself.
It seems I'll have to find a way to commit suicide in the future.
After more than ten breaths.
The female cultivator surnamed Zhang didn't linger. After selling Lin Li, a Qi Refining early-stage iron corpse, for seven spirit stones, she left behind the bronze bell and hurriedly departed.
when!
The clear sound of bells rang out.
"Come."
"Stand behind me."
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said with considerable satisfaction.
In an instant, the white-bearded old man's voice reached Lin Li's ears, sounding as powerful as rolling thunder.
Furthermore, there was an urge in Lin Li to obey the other party.
However, Lin Li, who has now fully awakened his intelligence, still refuses to obey orders if he doesn't want to do something.
But Lin Li has no intention of resisting now.
He is currently unaware of how many times he will have the opportunity to be reincarnated, if only a very few times.
If I were to die so hastily, wouldn't I have wasted an opportunity?
The target must have at least one spirit beast bloodline before reincarnation.
Lin Li had a goal in mind.
Then, Lin Li obeyed the old man's words and walked behind the white-bearded old man, standing quietly behind him like a stone statue.
"good."
"Seven spirit stones, there's a profit to be made."
The white-bearded old man smiled and looked Lin Li up and down before saying something.
"Old Zhang, how much do you charge for this iron corpse?"
"My grandson has no spiritual roots. If he goes out to the town outside the mountains, having an iron corpse to protect him would be quite good."
Just half an hour later, a hunched, bald old man appeared, wearing an ordinary gray robe with faded white edges, revealing yellow teeth when he smiled.
"Brother Zhou, you really know your stuff."
"In the Wanbao Pavilion of our market, the cheapest iron corpse with early Qi Refining stage costs at least twelve yuan."
"Today's Iron Corpse is a friend's price... ten yuan."
At this moment, while Lin Li was arguing at the stall in front of him, his gaze fell on a stall selling baby monsters about ten steps away to the side.
On the stall were several large iron cages, inside which were several small leopards with raw meat and black horns.
The leopard cubs had fur as black as coal, and five or six of them huddled together in a corner of the cage, looking very frightened.
"This little leopard is quite good..."
Before Lin Li could even take a second look, the transaction at the stall had already been completed, and he was once again left in the dark.
"grass!"
Lin Li, once again plunged into darkness, couldn't help but curse inwardly.
...
Muddy Leg Alley next to the market.
It was a slum built of simple stone houses.
Without the protection of the market's array and without the patrolling cultivators within the market, it is the least safe place in the market, and at night it may even be attacked by mountain monsters.
At this moment, inside a thatched hut with a broken wooden door blocking the wind in Mud Leg Alley.
"Jing'er, the tickets for leaving have been bought."
"Take it."
"At the beginning of the next day, a caravan will leave the market and head to the towns outside the mountains."
"We happened to be passing through Qingshi Town."
"Once you arrive in Qingshi Town, you should learn the craft of making talismans from your second uncle."
"There's an iron corpse in this corpse bag. Carry it with you so you can stay alive on the road."
"This Soul Control Bell can control the Iron Corpse."
"Even if you, Jing'er, do not have spiritual roots, you can still activate the Soul Bell by smearing your own blood on it."
Old Zhou, hunched over and bald, solemnly instructed his grandson on some matters.
In front of him was a boy named Zhou Jing, who looked as thin as a monkey from hunger. He appeared to be only about twelve or thirteen years old. After listening to what Old Zhou said, he nodded solemnly.
"grandfather."
"If I learn the craft of making talismans from my second uncle, and my grandson makes a lot of money, I will definitely buy longevity pills for my grandfather."
Zhou Jing said in a solemn tone.
"it is good."
"Be careful on the road. There may be monsters along the ten-mile mountain road. If necessary, release the Iron Corpse for protection as soon as possible."
Old Zhou patted his grandson's head, feeling very gratified.
...
...
Inside the body bag.
Lin Li felt very uncomfortable in that cramped and immobile space.
I don't know how much time passed.
That familiar repulsive force enveloped Lin Li once again. When Lin Li reappeared, he was greeted by a short figure wearing a red demon mask.
The masked man, wielding a saber larger than himself, lunged forward with a sinister grin, hacking down at Lin Li's head with unstoppable force.
Swish!
Lin Li felt a sudden dizziness, and even saw his headless iron corpse standing in the same spot.
Immediately afterwards, the head that had been flipping in mid-air was blasted into pieces by a flying fireball, and all vision was plunged into a deathly silence of darkness.
"You mere lowly iron corpse, you dare to try and stop me? How laughable!"
The masked man swung his sword again, killing the terrified Zhou Jing.
He then skillfully picked up the storage bag and disappeared into the lush bushes in a few flashes.
More than a dozen corpses and a lot of scattered goods were left behind on the rugged mountain road.
"He just came out and was hacked to death?!"
"A traitorous cultivator!"
In the darkness, Lin Li instantly understood that he had encountered a Tribulation Cultivator. The Tribulation Cultivator had a powerful physical body and was very likely a Body Refinement Cultivator. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cut down a Yin Corpse with bones as strong as iron with a single strike.
【you are dead】

"I never expected to get an entry after I died."
"Iron Bones".
"It seems to be related to his identity as an iron corpse before his death."
"The higher the realm level, the more attributes can be unlocked. It seems that after reincarnation, I need to find a way to improve my strength as much as possible."
"Of course, we won't choose the bloodthirsty worms. Their bloodline is still unranked, so their potential is low, and they're everywhere."
"Only the Blood-Eyed Raven remains."
"The bloodline limit can be raised to the third level of Qi Refining."
Lin Li could only choose one of the two, as there was a difference in their bloodlines. He made his choice without much hesitation.
"Choose to be reborn as the Blood-Eyed Raven."
