Under Liang Yan's control, Yao An bowed respectfully to Elder Ma. At the same time, he reached into his arms with his right hand and handed a swollen pouch into his hand.
"Eight hundred spirit stones, not bad."
Elder Ma weighed the small bag in his hand, with a happy expression on his face, and continued: "I can't tell that you are quite good. I will recommend you first if I have another chance next time."
"Thank you, Elder Ma, for your cultivation!" Yao An bowed his head again and saluted Elder Ma.
"Okay! I don't need to inspect and accept these dead bodies of yours. I believe that with your ability, the dead bodies found should be qualified." Elder Ma waved his hand.
"Disciples don't dare to neglect the sect's mission. I carefully selected these corpses. All of them are the best choices."
"Yes." Elder Ma nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "According to the rules, you can choose a dead body to keep."
"yes!"
Yao An first gave Elder Ma a fist, then turned back and looked back and forth among the dead bodies with his dull eyes.
"It's him!"
Yao An suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpse of a young man in gray clothes among the corpses. Elder Ma followed his finger and couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
"This person clearly died not long ago and is not the century-old corpse that our sect needs. Hehe, it seems that Yao An couldn't find fifty corpses that met the requirements, so he just found a random one to make up the number. He didn't dare to really put it
This body was handed over to the sect, so I can only choose to keep it myself." Elder Ma thought in his heart.
However, since he accepted Yao An's benefits, he naturally would not expose it in public. He just pretended to be confused and asked:
"Ahem, are you sure you chose him?"
"Disciple, sure!" Yao An nodded.
"Well, take him away."
"Thank you, Elder Ma!"
As soon as Yao An finished speaking, he immediately shook the bell in his hand. Liang Yan moved in response to the sound among the corpses and walked up to Yao An with a very mechanical movement.
Elder Ma didn't say anything after seeing this, but raised his hand and waved, and saw a green talisman flying out of his sleeve, swaying slightly in the air, and immediately emitting an eerie glimmer.
The remaining dead bodies were enveloped by this light and raised their heads one after another, staring at the talisman with their eyes motionless.
As Elder Ma performed the seal with one hand, the green talisman changed direction and flew towards the hole behind the stone platform. The dead bodies underneath seemed to be held by their necks, and they were looking for them with their heads raised.
Fu Lu, while spreading his legs, walked towards the depth of the cave entrance. After a short time, all the dead bodies on the stone platform had been put into the cave and disappeared.
"Is this the 'Corpse Attraction Talisman'? I've heard Master mention it before, but this corpse training is an extremely partial sect. There are very few such sects among the five countries. Today is the first time I see it." Liang Yan
I thought secretly in my heart.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back to the cave first." Elder Ma turned around and said.
"Yes, disciple, resign!"
"etc!"
Just as Yao An took a few steps back, Elder Ma seemed to have remembered something and said, "There are three days until the sect's 'Corpse Fighting Conference'. By then, all the Qi Refining disciples of your generation will be participating. Are you ready?"
Already?"
"Corpse fighting conference?" Liang Yan was shocked when he heard this. You must know that the Gu technique he temporarily learned is only entry-level. He can only control Yao An to make some simple responses and actions. If he wants to control him to use magical powers to fight with others,
Don't even think about fighting!
However, now that the deal is done, Liang Yan naturally cannot reveal his secret at this moment, so he can only control Yao An to step forward and answer:
"Disciple, do your best!"
"Hmph!" Elder Ma looked him up and down, and said with some disapproval: "You still only have two lowest-level iron corpses, how can you compete with your fellow apprentices? That's all, considering that you are me.
For the sake of your blood, I have a bottle of corpse oil taken from the copper corpse, which can at least increase the power of your iron corpse by 20%. Use it to smear it on the iron corpse. Don’t embarrass me then!"
"yes!"
Yao An stepped forward and took a small bottle from Elder Ma's hand. Then he thanked him profusely and left with Liang Yan.
Just as Liang Yan and Yao An were saying goodbye to Elder Ma, they were in a certain stone room in the tomb of the dead.
The square-faced old man in a purple robe was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, but he didn't look like he was practicing, but seemed to be meditating on something.
At this moment, the door of the stone chamber suddenly opened, and then a short, middle-aged man with ordinary appearance walked in. This man did not say a word after entering the door, but stood silently behind the old man, as if he did not dare to disturb his thinking.
.
After a while, the old man in purple robe slowly opened his eyes and asked the person behind him:
"Has it been found out?"
"Found it." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "In the past ten days, only Yao An has entered the sect."
"Yao An." The purple-robed old man narrowed his eyes and murmured, "I remember this is one of Ma Quan's men."
"What Protector Yu said is true, this person belongs to Ma Quan." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice.
"Ma Quan. Hehe, he is a member of Yu Wenshou's lineage. The tomb owner is about to be released from confinement. Could it be that Yu Wenshou also has some ideas?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Dragon protector Yuwen and you have always been at odds with each other. How about I go check on this Yao An and see what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourd!"
The old man in purple robe was silent for a moment, then said: "That's fine! You go and find out the details of Yao An. Be careful to keep things secret and not be known to others. If Yu Wenshou and the others are obstructing them secretly, don't be too cautious.
Study it too deeply, lest it affect our plans."
"Don't worry Protector Yu, my subordinates will know how to act appropriately!" the middle-aged man nodded.
Liang Yan followed Yao An, crossing several suspension bridges and finally entering a hole in the mountain wall.
After passing the entrance of the cave, the surroundings suddenly opened up, and I saw a vast underground cave. There were many passages around the cave, which seemed to extend in all directions.
"It seems that we have reached the inner area of the Tomb of the Dead." Liang Yan thought to himself.
Yao An led Liang Yan into one of the passages. Not long after, he stopped in front of a stone chamber door. He reached out and took out a black disciple token and placed it in a gap on the stone door. The door of the stone chamber
Immediately there was a silent sound, and then with a flash of inspiration, the stone door split into two halves and slowly opened to both sides.
After Liang Yan and the two walked into the stone chamber, Yao An took off the token with his backhand. As the door of the stone chamber closed again, Liang Yan also took off the yellow talisman on his face and sat down directly in front of the stone table.
"Is that 'Corpse Fighting Conference' something that all Qi Refining monks in the sect must participate in?" Liang Yan asked.
"yes!"
Yao An stood beside him with his hands hanging down, still answering expressionlessly.
