Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

The next day.

The weather was extremely cold.

The wind and snow seemed to harbor a deep hatred for this place, as the fierce wind swept through the white snow, enveloping the entire Black Stone Town.

Feng Liuchen, dressed in a purple sable coat, strolled through the wind and snow.

"The cold season has arrived," Lu Chuan said with emotion from behind him, looking at the snow-filled sky.

"What? Does Captain Lu not like the cold season?" Feng Liuchen asked with a smile.

"Hehe, you jest, Chief Constable. What does it matter whether I like it or not? The changing of seasons is not something we can control. I just wonder how many more people will freeze to death this cold season," Lu Chuan said with a hint of melancholy.

"Indeed, I remember meeting you back then, it seems it was also during the cold season," Feng Liuchen said with a touch of sentiment.

"Yes, it was a cold afternoon," Lu Chuan remembered clearly.

Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu were both orphans.

From a young age, they had to compete with stray dogs for food just to barely survive.

As they grew older, they worked as laborers, but even then, they could only barely make ends meet, and there was far less work available in the cold season than in the warm season.

For them, the cold season was still like a life-threatening ghost, following closely behind them. A moment of carelessness could mean freezing to death in some cold season.

Lu Chuan remembered that the arrival of each cold season was their most difficult time.

He had seen many people with similar experiences freeze to death due to the lack of warm clothing and sufficient food.

At that time, he and Du Jiangliu depended on each other for survival.

They didn't have these names back then; Feng Liuchen gave them their current names.

Lu Chuan remembered very clearly that it was on a cold winter afternoon.

Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu came out to look for work, but many people saw that they were thin and weak and ruthlessly drove them away instead of showing them pity.

The two of them were hungry and cold, huddled together in a small alley.

They were so cold that they were shivering all over, their hands and feet were icy and even felt numb.

"We...we might...might die," Lu Chuan said, hugging Du Jiangliu and trembling.

There was no fear in his voice, only helplessness at the arrival of death. He knew that for people like them, every cold season they survived meant another one waiting for them. They were weak, of low status, and no one cared about their life or death.

If they died and were discovered, people would only send someone to drag them to the mass burial grounds and bury them haphazardly.

This was not because they were kind-hearted, but because two dead people affected their mood.

The lives of ordinary people were the cheapest things.

Just as the two of them were about to freeze to death, a figure, radiating a hazy divine light, appeared in their sight.

At least, in Lu Chuan's eyes at the time, Feng Liuchen was like a god descending to earth, saving their lives.

Before Lu Chuan lost consciousness, he heard a vague voice and then lost consciousness.

"Go, take them back."

When Lu Chuan woke up again, he was already in a warm room. Du Jiangliu was looking at him with concern. When he saw Lu Chuan wake up, he showed a simple and honest smile.

"Awake?" A voice entered Lu Chuan's ears.

Only then did Lu Chuan realize that there was another person in the room.

What kind of person was that? Lu Chuan didn't know how to describe him, he only felt that his body was radiating a divine light, saving him from the brink of death.

Lu Chuan knew that he had saved the lives of his two brothers.

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives," Lu Chuan quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, pulling Du Jiangliu to kneel down and kowtow with him.

"Take good care of yourselves, alas...two poor people," Feng Liuchen said and left.

For the next period of time, Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu had no shortage of food and drink, and they also had warm clothes.

"Come with me, today I will bestow upon you a chance, as for whether you can grasp it, it will be up to fate," Feng Liuchen led them to the Hope Flower bushes, and both of them awakened their talents, and both were of medium quality.

"I didn't expect them to be two pieces of jade."

"From today onwards, Du Gou Dan, you will change your name to Du Jiangliu, and Lu Da Gou, you will change your name to Lu Chuan. From today onwards, you two will follow me to cultivate."

Feng Liuchen's voice was like a fire in winter, dispelling the coldness of Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu and illuminating the path ahead for them.

...........................

"Cultivate hard, I will have many uses for you in the future," Feng Liuchen saw that Lu Chuan had not spoken for a long time, and he saw what he was thinking at a glance. He patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder and said.

"Yes! Lu Chuan is willing to go through fire and water for Chief Constable Feng, even if it means dying ten thousand times!" Lu Chuan clasped his fists and bowed.

The wind and snow continued, and Lu Chuan stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the time for the lotus seeds to mature was getting closer and closer.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this month, Feng Liuchen had made deployments, so that even if he left for a long time, there would be no problems.

On this day, Feng Liuchen summoned Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu.

Exquisite dishes were placed in front of the three of them.

"I'm going to leave for a while. During this time, I won't be here. You can make your own decisions about the affairs of Black Stone Town depending on the situation. If you can't solve it, just delay it until I come back," Feng Liuchen said to Lu Chuan.

"Is Chief Constable worried that the Black Wolf Gang and the Black Tiger Gang will cause trouble while you're away?" Lu Chuan knew some of Feng Liuchen's worries.

After all, Black Stone Town was only so big. As long as the public security was maintained, basically nothing major would happen.

The people's thoughts were very simple: to have enough to eat and wear.

Now that Black Stone Town had cash crops like the Black Stone Flower, they worked for a shorter period of time and had a lot of time to do their own things, which was much better than before. They wouldn't be stupid enough to destroy such a good life.

The only variables were the Black Wolf Gang and the Black Tiger Gang. They didn't participate in the planting and harvesting of the Black Stone Flowers, and the Black Wolf Gang and the Black Tiger Gang also had Spirit Masters sitting in town. Usually, Feng Liuchen could steadily suppress them.

Now that Feng Liuchen was leaving for such a long time, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't have any strange thoughts.

"The fate of the Black Wolf Gang and the Black Tiger Gang is already doomed. When I come back this time, I will make them disappear from this world completely," Feng Liuchen said.

"During the time I'm away, if they cause trouble, you don't have to be too lenient. Fight if you have to fight, kill if you have to kill," Feng Liuchen said.

"Yes," Lu Chuan replied with a solemn expression.

"When does Chief Constable plan to leave?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Tomorrow," Feng Liuchen replied.

"Then I will wish Chief Constable a smooth journey here first," Lu Chuan said, while filling Feng Liuchen's cup with wine.

"Hehe, I wish Chief Constable a smooth journey," Du Jiangliu said with a simple and honest smile.

"Okay, I'll take your kind words and wish myself a smooth journey."

After Feng Liuchen finished speaking, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Lu Chuan and Du Jiangliu also picked up their wine glasses and drank them in one gulp.

That day, the three of them drank until very late before going back.

Early the next morning, the weather was clear and a gentle breeze blew.

Feng Liuchen, dressed in a black sable coat with a hood covering half of his face and carrying a coffin for suppressing corpses on his back, left Black Stone Town without attracting anyone's attention and headed towards the old mass burial grounds.

The old mass burial grounds were completely covered with snow. Looking into the distance, there were white protrusions, undulating continuously.

Feng Liuchen lightly tapped his toes, and spiritual power acted on them, making the whole person like a leaf, floating forward.

Shallow pits were left on the snow, spreading forward all the way.

Coming to the grave again, this grave was no different from other places, and no one would have thought that there was such a big secret as the Yin Underworld Three-Colored Lotus hidden here.

Feng Liuchen did not stop and went straight to the pit.

He dug through the snow and revealed a passage leading downwards.

"This..." Feng Liuchen's expression changed as he looked at the passage in front of him.

He clearly remembered that he had disguised it well when he left.

"Could it be that it was crushed by the snow?" Feng Liuchen looked at the snow in the passage and couldn't help but think.

Despite thinking this, he still did not let down his guard, but since he had already come here, he naturally had to go down and see what was going on.

"Never mind, I'll go down and see what's going on first. I hope the Yin Underworld Three-Colored Lotus hasn't been discovered yet." Thinking of this, Feng Liuchen did not hesitate to take off the coffin for suppressing corpses from his shoulders and put it in front of the pit. Then, he stomped down suddenly, and the coffin for suppressing corpses slid down.

Feng Liuchen did not hesitate any longer and slid down the pit.

With a soft "thump", the sound of the coffin for suppressing corpses landing was heard.

Feng Liuchen also deliberately slowed down the speed of his descent.

After Feng Liuchen landed steadily on the ground, he took out a glowing stone to see the appearance of the underground.

The appearance of the underground was no different from when he left. The coffin for suppressing corpses was about ten feet away from him.

Feng Liuchen came to the coffin for suppressing corpses, untied the chains on it, and then opened the coffin for suppressing corpses.

Chen Xing's figure was revealed.

Chen Xing's body was covered with green hair, and the length of the hair was about ten inches long. Obviously, even when placed in the coffin for suppressing corpses, Chen Xing's body was constantly strengthening under the nourishment of the corpse energy.

Seeing this, Feng Liuchen was also slightly surprised.

The coffin for suppressing corpses, as the name suggests, is for suppressing zombies, preventing the zombies from leaking corpse energy and playing a suppressing role.

Moreover, this was a third-level coffin for suppressing corpses, which was equivalent to Chen Xing's cultivation level, and should be able to play a role in suppressing corpse energy.

But now it seemed that even when trapped in the coffin for suppressing corpses, the corpse energy was still not affected and continued to strengthen his body.

"Now, I'm afraid he has the body strength of the middle stage of the third level," Feng Liuchen said with emotion.

"However, the corpse energy in the Qi Sea has weakened a lot. Obviously, he can't strengthen himself indefinitely and still needs to replenish Yin energy," Feng Liuchen's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he judged.

Indeed, the corpse bead in Chen Xing's body had shrunk from the size of a red date to the size of a mung bean and had already gone dormant, no longer releasing corpse energy.

Feng Liuchen pointed his fingers together like a sword, and spiritual power surged from his fingertips. Then, he pointed a finger at Chen Xing: "Rise."

Chen Xing slowly sat up from the coffin for suppressing corpses, grabbed the edge of the stone coffin with his hand and slowly stood up, and walked out of the coffin for suppressing corpses.
