Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

Inside the main hall of the central government office.

A group of people arrived in front of a courtyard, and a bailiff in black opened the gate.

Then, they entered one after another.

They saw rows of boxes neatly arranged in the courtyard, dense and spectacular.

"It seems that Chief Constable Feng has completed this year's quota well." The man looked at Feng Liuchen with a smile.

"This is also due to the support of the people in the town. Otherwise, we would never be able to complete it by ourselves," Feng Liuchen said.

"In that case, I will accept these things."

After he finished speaking, the man slowly spread out his palm, on which white light flickered.

Gray-brown crystals appeared in his palm and slowly floated into the air.

Then, the crystals turned into black holes, each about three meters square.

Immediately afterward, a suction force emanated from them, and the wooden boxes on the ground uncontrollably poured into the black holes.

The crystal was called a 'Nawu Stone', a fifth-grade spiritual treasure, with its own space inside, capable of holding hundreds or thousands of times its own volume.

Using such a thing as a means of transportation was really useful.

After a while, all the wooden boxes on the ground had been loaded into the Nawu Stone.

Then, the Nawu Stone shrunk back to its normal size, landed in the man's palm, and disappeared.

"Okay, my task is completed. Next, I want to talk to Chief Constable Feng about another matter." The man turned to look at Feng Liuchen and slowly opened his mouth.

His tone was serious, obviously, this matter was unusual.

"Oh? What is it? I'd like to hear the details," Feng Liuchen asked with a puzzled expression.

"This is not the place to talk, how about..." The green-robed man looked around.

"Oh... look at me, this is my negligence. I have also prepared a banquet, let's talk while we eat." Feng Liuchen seemed to have just realized, while winking at Lu Chuan.

As for Du Jiangliu, he just stayed silently to the side.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quietly retreated and went to make arrangements.

Du Jiangliu and Lu Chuan were one quick-witted and the other dull, but both had extraordinary talents and had broken through to the mid-stage of the first transformation.

Although Lu Chuan was usually busy with the tasks assigned by Feng Liuchen, Feng Liuchen was never stingy, and gave all the rewards that were due.

Du Jiangliu cultivated assiduously, and his cultivation naturally rose.

But if the two fought, I am afraid that Du Jiangliu would not be Lu Chuan's opponent.

After all, the cultivation of a monk is not only about strength, but also about spiritual treasures and opportunities.

After receiving the Blackstone Flowers, everyone had nothing else to do and dispersed.

Feng Liuchen, the green-robed middle-aged man, and Du Jiangliu left the central government office and headed towards an inn.

In front of the inn, Lu Chuan had already made arrangements and was waiting there.

"Prefect Li, please go first, I still have something to explain to my subordinates," Feng Liuchen said to the green-robed middle-aged man.

"Okay, Chief Constable Feng, don't keep me waiting too long," Prefect Li said.

Then, he followed the waiter into the inn.

After Prefect Li went up to the second floor,

"Chief, everything has been arranged inside," Lu Chuan stepped forward and said.

"Well, not bad, I am still very relieved with you. Head Constable Du, why don't you learn from Head Constable Lu?" Feng Liuchen first praised Lu Chuan, then looked at the silent Du Jiangliu.

Lu Chuan heard this and said, "Serving the Chief Constable, I dare not make the slightest mistake. Only in this way can I be worthy of the Chief Constable's cultivation of me."

Du Jiangliu smiled when he heard this, but did not say much.

"I didn't expect that this Prefect Li didn't leave immediately after receiving the Blackstone Flowers. What do you think he wants to talk to me about?" Feng Liuchen frowned slightly, he had a bad feeling.

"Subordinate does not know." Du Jiangliu spread his hands, looking indifferent.

Lu Chuan showed a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking about what he knew about Nanhe County.

However, recently he has been busy with the Blackstone Flower matter, and has not paid much attention to the news of Nanhe County.

In addition, the news of the Corpse Dao Spiritualist has not yet spread, only within the scope of Nanhe County.

The reason why Prefect Li discussed this matter with Feng Liuchen was entirely a whim, because the direction in which the Corpse Dao Spiritualist disappeared could also pass through Blackstone Town.

"Subordinate does not know," Lu Chuan shook his head.

"If you don't know, then forget it, anyway, I will know from Prefect Li later. Asking you is just to leave a guarantee in my heart."

Seeing that neither of them knew, Feng Liuchen did not say more, instructed the two of them, and went upstairs.

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, Feng Liuchen and Prefect Li were exchanging cups and enjoying delicious food.

After drinking and eating his fill, Prefect Li took a sip of tea, with a worried look on his face, and said slowly.

"To be honest, Brother Feng, this time I came out not only to collect Blackstone Flowers, but also to carry out another task in secret," Prefect Li said slowly.

"Then, Brother Li, you..." Feng Liuchen asked with a puzzled expression.

"Presumably Brother Feng doesn't know yet, some time ago, a prisoner escaped from the Nanhe County prison, and the person who escaped was the notorious 'Old Corpse Ghost' from a few years ago."

"Originally, this Old Corpse Ghost had been abolished his cultivation and thrown into prison. After a while, he would be beheaded during the Cold Moon Festival to comfort the families of those who were killed by him, but who knew that this Old Corpse Ghost had already left a backup plan before being imprisoned. He arranged a fifth-grade purple-haired zombie outside."

"Some time ago, that zombie broke into the prison and rescued him."

Speaking of this, Prefect Li seemed to feel that this matter was quite棘手, and picked up the wine glass in front of him again, but found that it was already empty.

Helplessly, he put the wine glass down again.

"This... the spiritualist's cultivation has been abolished, and he can still control a powerful zombie. This method is unheard of!" Feng Liuchen said here, suddenly thinking of his own zombie.

"I don't know if my cultivation is abolished, will it still be under my control," Feng Liuchen thought silently.

"That Old Corpse Ghost's corpse control methods are brilliant, who knows how he managed to make a fifth-grade purple-haired zombie obey his orders even after his cultivation was abolished," Prefect Li said with a frown, obviously this matter also puzzled him.

"Then Prefect Li, you..." Feng Liuchen asked.

"That's right, my other task is to investigate the whereabouts of Old Corpse Ghost, but I have not found any discoveries along the way."

"The purpose of telling you this is to let you know that the personnel entering and leaving Blackstone Town should be strictly investigated during this period, but this matter must be kept secret, after all, Old Corpse Ghost's escape is not a glorious thing for us," Prefect Li said.

"Don't worry, I will order people to secretly monitor suspicious people at the city gate later, and I will inform Prefect Li as soon as there is any news," Feng Liuchen immediately assured.

"In that case, I am relieved. My task of collecting Blackstone Flowers this time has been completed. Although I have not detected the trace of that Corpse Dao Spiritualist, I can go back and report," Prefect Li said here, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hearing this, Feng Liuchen took out a small cloth bag, put it in front of Prefect Li, and said, "Prefect Li came from afar and brought me such important news. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

"Hehe, Chief Constable Feng, you are too kind, too kind," Prefect Li smiled and put the small cloth bag in his arms.

Prefect Li left, he did not let Feng Liuchen see him off.

Feng Liuchen sat there, his mind racing.

"This Prefect Li is really making a good calculation, using this news to exchange for dozens of my spiritual stones. I am afraid that Corpse Dao Spiritualist has already escaped to who knows where."

"Forget it, just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster."

"Speaking of Corpse Dao Spiritualists, it's time for me to go there and take a look."

Thinking of this, Feng Liuchen went downstairs.

"Chief, Prefect Li has already left." Seeing Feng Liuchen coming down, Lu Chuan hurried forward and said.

"Well, I know, you go find a few clever constables and let them pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people entering or leaving the north and south gates," Feng Liuchen ordered Lu Chuan.

Although Feng Liuchen scoffed at Prefect Li's words, he still had to do what he should do.

"Yes," Lu Chuan replied.

Then, Lu Chuan left.

He didn't ask why, because he knew that Feng Liuchen had a reason for asking him to do this. Feng Liuchen would tell him what he should know, and he wouldn't ask more about what he shouldn't know. This was his way of dealing with the world.

"Old Du, you go back too, I don't need you here for the time being." Feng Liuchen looked at the motionless Du Jiangliu and said.

"Yes." After Du Jiangliu answered, he turned and left.

Lu Chuan sent Sun Weiquan to guard the south gate, Zhou Zhengyi to guard the north gate, and Wang Tiezhi to continue maintaining the security of the southern city area.

The security of Du Jiangliu's northern district was managed by his head constables. After he went back, he entered into cultivation.

And Feng Liuchen returned to the central government office.

Five more days passed, and there was no news at all.

Feng Liuchen was not surprised by this. If there was really any news, then Blackstone Town wouldn't be so peaceful now.

"It's time." Feng Liuchen stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, and muttered to himself.

And behind him stood a figure wearing a black robe. This figure stood upright, quietly standing there, without any vitality on his body.

Feng Liuchen pointed his fingers together like a sword, the wind spiritual power turning at his fingertips, and pointed towards Chen Xing's body, then said, "Let's go."

Then, Chen Xing followed Feng Liuchen and swayed away from the central government office.

Their departure did not attract anyone's attention.

"I will be away this time, as short as one day, as long as three days." Feng Liuchen had also told Lu Chuan that he would be away for a few days. Lu Chuan could make his own decisions on the affairs of Blackstone Town during these days. If he really couldn't make a decision, he could discuss it with Du Jiangliu.

If neither of them could make a decision, then they would wait for him to come back.
