Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 454: We’re short of money again!

Pu Yanlan also had countless evil spirits in her hands, and she let them possess her. These evil corpses became spiritual, and their fighting power naturally went up a level.
"Speaking of zombies, they are also divided into different levels. The lowest level is the one that relies solely on its own dead energy to maintain its immortality. It will remain the same as it was when it became a zombie..."

If the person becomes a zombie right after death, it is not that bad and the appearance is not that scary. Some people stay in the coffin for a while and are dug out and become zombies. The degree of horror of their appearance depends on where the coffin is buried. If it is dry and rainy, the body will lose water and become a mummy. Although the color is not very good, it can be barely recognized as a human. But if the place is humid and full of insects, then the appearance when it comes out will be horrible!

“If it is one level higher, it will be like these demon corpses, retaining most of its previous abilities, but its spirit will no longer be there, and it will all depend on the caster’s control…”

Of course, this kind of control requires a lot of consciousness from the caster. One is divided into two, two into four, four into eight. Ancient books record that a maximum of 128 zombies can be controlled. This is the limit for ghost cultivators in the Mahayana stage. It is like having 128 clones, and these clones have different levels of cultivation and know different spells. To be able to reach this level is already an extraordinary existence!
"If it is one level higher, it will allow these demon corpses to regain their souls and listen to the caster's commands..."

Pu Yanlan explained to Gu Shiyi,
"Because I have so many evil spirits, I have found a trick and can let them possess me. However, there are different kinds of possession. If I want to make these evil corpses exert their greatest abilities, I need to sacrifice and refine them one by one, and then combine them with the evil spirits one by one. It's like wearing new shoes. I have to try them out first to see if they fit. After they fit, I have to wear them for a while to slowly get used to them..."

It would be fine to sacrifice one or two, but this time Pu Yanlan was too greedy. She accidentally destroyed the ancestral land of the Juque clan. There are at least eight hundred demon corpses in the Juque clan that can be buried in the forbidden area. So it is really a huge project to sacrifice all of them. Of course, if all of them can be completed, she, Pu Yanlan, can walk sideways in this world just relying on these demon corpses!

You have to know that these demon corpses of the Juque clan were all accomplished cultivators when they were alive. Even if they are at a lower level when they re-possess after death, when they are combined with hundreds of people, their combat power is still a formidable one!

After hearing this, Gu Shiyi rolled up his sleeves and cheered for Pu Yanlan.

"Yan'er, just concentrate on refining these demon corpses. When all of them are refined, release them all. We sisters will go out with a large crowd of people following us. Let's see who dares to mess with us!"

I’m afraid that even Zhao Wuxi would retreat if he met them!
Pu Yanlan smiled bitterly and said,

"It's not that easy. The materials used to refine these demon corpses are huge. Not to mention that five or six out of ten times will fail. I am lucky to be able to refine a hundred out of hundreds!"

Gu Shiyi waved his hand and said proudly,

"How do we know if we don't try? We can just find whatever we need. At worst... we can just collect some first. If that doesn't work, we can go to another continent or try to go back home. There are so many natural resources and treasures in my hometown, I'm sure we can make it!"

Her words aroused Pu Yanlan's thoughts again. Pu Yanlan thought about it and nodded.
"That's right. Let's collect the samples in this world first, and then find a way to go back..."

They had been delayed in the Ice Field and the Demon's Eye Sea for so long, and they didn't know what the continent over there was like now.

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Let's stay here for a while, collect what we can, and then go somewhere else..."

"it is good!"

So Pu Yanlan wrote a thick list overnight, and the two of them went into the secret realm in the middle of the night to clean up the inventory. They found that, with the materials prepared for the pretty boy, there was indeed a big gap. Gu Shiyi looked at the long list in his hand and said with a smile,

"Before, I thought we were not rich, but at least we were a little rich. But if we took out all the money, we would be poor again!"

Or the kind of extreme poverty!

But even though they were extremely poor, they only managed to collect one-third of the amount!

Pu Yanlan smiled bitterly and said,

"Now you know why it's not that easy, don't you?"

Gu Shiyi was a person who never gave up easily, and he waved his hand again.
"It's okay, don't be afraid... Isn't it just saving things? Back then, we didn't even dare to take a carriage for a piece of silver, and we walked dozens of miles on foot. No matter how difficult the times were, we got through them. No matter how bad it is now, it won't be worse than before!"

After saying that, she chuckled and turned to look unkindly at the little white-haired balls that were circling around their feet and begging for food.
"If that doesn't work, just sell them!"

As soon as she said this, the white-haired balls seemed to understand what she said. They immediately kicked up their legs and ran away like the wind!
"Hehe!" Gu Shiyi smiled proudly, and returned to their bedroom with Pu Yanlan.

They were planning to collect materials, and the fur balls were making a fuss about being hungry. After discussing it, they found an excuse to leave the farm and head to the mountains a hundred miles away from Yongcheng. Gu Shiyi was responsible for hunting and feeding the fur balls, while Pu Yanlan chose a gloomy place and released the demon corpses one by one. He first asked the red-clothed people to pick a few of them. The red-clothed people picked the demon corpse that was completely black and had a long tail behind it. Tong Ling picked a demon corpse with a human upper body and a snake lower body, and Zi Yuan picked a demon corpse that was as big as a mountain, with muscular bodies and clear barriers. He also picked a mace as a weapon for himself.

"Master, Zi Yuan was a weak scholar before his death. It was because he went to the capital to take the imperial examination that his classmates envied his literary talent, so they strangled Zi Yuan to death and hung him on the window, making it look like he committed suicide. Zi Yuan suffered this misfortune because he was powerless. Now that he has a body again, he wants to be a strong man with the strength to pull mountains, and no longer wants to be a weak chicken!"

Pu Yanlan was always easy-going, so she followed his wishes and said,
"You three should be familiar with your own bodies. They were all monks in their previous lives, so they must have their own magic. Try to see if you can use it. If you can't, you can't force it!"

The three ghosts all responded in unison, and so every day they practiced controlling the demon corpse in this dark place in the mountains. As a result, the place was filled with gloomy and demonic energy, and even on a sunny day, it was still pitch black. Mountain folks who were hunting nearby saw it from afar and said that the place was haunted and they dared not approach!
Pu Yanlan asked them to do just that, and also sent out little ghosts to patrol everywhere. When they saw mountain dwellers straying in, they would appear and scare them and not allow them to enter. As time went on, the legend of the haunted mountain became more and more bizarre, so that in the following decades, no one dared to go to this valley.

Gu Shiyi, on the other hand, had no worries. After feeding on the wild beasts on the nearby hills, he ran to another hill. These furry balls at home had such a big appetite. They ate so much but didn't grow at all. Where did all the food go?
Almost two months passed in this busy manner. Pu Yanlan and the other three ghost generals, Hong Yi, were finally able to skillfully control the demon corpse. Pu Yanlan called Gu Shiyi back.

"What we have on hand is only enough for Hongyi and the others. I'm afraid we have to go back to Yongcheng to buy some more!"

Gu Shi nodded,

"I have collected a lot of animal skins and meat in the past two months and stored them away. They will be enough for the fur balls to eat for a while!"

The furry balls have no sense of fullness or hunger. If they are given all the food, they will continue to eat even if they are starved to death. The task of feeding them is left to Dragon Soul, Red Fox and Old Horse. The Jin Er couple chose a place, dug a hole and hid in it to recuperate. It is said that they will not come out for three to five years!
"Oh, right, the red fox said that they also want to learn some magic from the demon tribe. I'm afraid we have to find a way to go to the demon tribe's territory and find some magic for them!"

Speaking of the demon race, Gu Shiyi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Pu Yanlan stroked his forehead.
"Why... why are there so many things happening suddenly?"

Gu Shiyi laughed and patted her on the back.
"Sister, it's good to be busy. I can't stand sitting around doing nothing all day long!"

This is because the two of them have different personalities. One likes to be active while the other likes to be quiet. One likes to roll among people while the other likes to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It is rare that they have been together for so many years and have passed by so unknowingly!

The two returned to Yongcheng, and Wan Chang came to see them after hearing the news.
"You two masters are practicing, so I dare not disturb you. However, after you two left the city, Master Liu Zhuer from Guanshan Tower asked me many times about you. I naturally don't know, but I guess Master Liu will be here soon!"

"Oh……"

In the pavilion in the back garden, Gu Shiyi poured a cup of tea for Wan Changyou.

"Lao Wan, did she tell us what she wanted to talk to us about?"

Wan Changyou smiled bitterly and said,

"You are overbearing me. How dare I ask about the affairs of the adults? I still have to beg for food from Guanshanlou!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Then I won't make it difficult for you. Just send someone to tell him we're back and ask you to come to the manor to talk!"

Not long after Wan Chang returned, Liu Zhuer arrived. Seeing the two of them, she smiled and said,
"You two Taoist friends must have found a place to practice in seclusion. It seems that you have benefited a lot, right?"

"Thanks to you, I did get some results!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said polite words to Liu Zhuer. Pu Yanlan on the side said nothing, but Liu Zhuer looked between the two of them. Seeing this, Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please speak up if you have anything to say. If we sisters can help, we will definitely not refuse!"

Liu Zhuer thought for a moment and replied,

"I do have something to ask you..."
