Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 690: Chapter 618: Fishing, Broken Hook (Combined Chapter)

From his appearance, he still looks like a child sculpted from jade.

His hair is styled in a high ponytail, with red lips and white teeth, and his temperament is as pure as his appearance.

Lou Yi suspects that Lin Xuan’s rapid progress is due to his possession of a true child’s heart.

After gifting the Spirit Stones, Lu Yun of the Vermillion Bird Sect invited Lin Xuan and Ding Shiniang to a private gathering he organized called the ’Enlightenment Assembly.’

The attendees were mostly cultivators at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, exchanged skills and precious information on Heaven and Earth Wonders, aiming to soon break through to the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

The Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform grants the ability to compete for the position of the Trench Patrol Guest, and even face the Golden Core’s Heavenly Tribulation confidently, marking them as top experts in the Abyss.

Ding Shiniang and Lin Xuan did not refuse Lu Yun’s intentional goodwill.

Every cultivator who comes to the Abyss has only one goal—to break through to the Golden Core as soon as possible.

On this day, Ding Shiniang and Lin Xuan went early to Lu Yun’s organized ’Enlightenment Assembly.’

The other members of the team, Elder Gui, the yellow-faced man Qin Dong, took Lou Yi and He Shuli, the two seniors guiding two newcomers, to search for opportunities in the region not far from the cave.

The landscape in the Abyss is mostly fixed, but the nests of spiritual creatures refresh from time to time.

The same area may yield different discoveries after a few months.

’Whoosh!’

At this moment, a slight sound of something breaking through the air was heard.

The four immediately became alert, ready to defend.

But upon seeing the visitor, their tense minds relaxed quite a bit.

“Hey, I’ve been looking all around for you here.” The newcomer wore a robe embroidered with golden copper coins, had a somewhat plump figure, squinting small eyes, and fair skin, looking like a rural wealthy landlord.

It was Xu Chuan, a new member of Lu Yun’s team, from the famous sect Money Sect in the Central Continent.

“What’s the matter?” asked Elder Gui.

“Today’s Enlightenment Assembly includes a body cultivator at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

Brother Lu advised me to find Fellow Daoist Liu, having heard he also follows the path of body cultivation, it might be useful for him…” Xu Chuan explained.

As for Ding Shiniang and Lin Xuan not coming back to find Lou Yi themselves, it was because they were engaged in crucial discussions with other cultivators, unable to leave, so Lu Yun sent a newcomer from the team to call on them.

Elder Gui listened and looked at Lou Yi, “Little Shu, what do you think?”

“I can go and listen,” Lou Yi nodded.

With that, he followed Xu Chuan away; within a few steps, he disappeared into the gray fog.

The other team members saw this as no surprise, continuing with their own activities.

Although the so-called ’Enlightenment Assembly’ has a high threshold, sometimes it invites related cultivators from the Third Level of the Spirit Platform and below.

After Lin Xuan broke through to the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, the team effectively crossed this threshold; recently Elder Gui was invited to observe previously.

Lou Yi and Xu Chuan set off toward the location of the ’Enlightenment Assembly,’ the two were not strangers, chatting while walking.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, I see your cultivation seems to have improved a lot, your team seems to have had quite some gains recently.”

“Haha, two weeks ago, we found a nest of spiritual creatures.

Inside were several spiritual creatures with cultivation reaching the Second and Third Level of the Spirit Platform, providing our team a lot of spiritual resources.

My harvest is considered small, given my minor contribution. Most of it was taken by Brother Lu; he’s getting closer to the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.”

“… I heard that cultivation in the Money Sect is related to the abundance of treasures obtained? That does stand out uniquely in the cultivation realm.”

“Heh, no need to hide from Fellow Daoist Liu, it’s more of a gimmick, really.

My sect is a Gold Element sect, the cultivation technique can mobilize the gold element material from treasures, and the gold material in money and treasures is more abundant than other materials…

And our sect’s iconic money magic treasures are not ordinary copper coins but are refined from heavenly materials like Geng Gold, Mystic Silver, Kunwu Stone, etc.

Plus, with unique miniature arrays added, their power is quite formidable, generally stronger than spiritual artifacts of the same rank…” Xu Chuan appeared to get along well with Lou Yi, talking endlessly as if opening a floodgate.

He even disclosed many secrets from the sect, looking carefree and careless.

“Fellow Daoist Xu says so much because you know I won’t live long, so you’re not afraid of me spreading your sect’s secrets?” Lou Yi suddenly said.

The atmosphere suddenly tensed, and Xu Chuan’s steps stopped.

“Fellow Daoist Liu truly knows how to joke, haha.” Xu Chuan turned around, squinting his small eyes into slits, still with the same helplessly cheerful merchant look, harmless.

“I observe Fellow Daoist Liu’s brow is full, blessed with deep fortunes, may well achieve the Golden Core in the future, how could your life be short?”

“Forty-three li ahead, behind the reddish-brown hill, there should be quite a few fellows lying in ambush just waiting for me.” Lou Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan’s pupils shrunk sharply, “How do you know?”

Not only did the other party see through his ill intentions, but how did he know so accurately the location of the ambush?

He himself only found out today when he came.

“That, perhaps you should ask King Yama,” Lou Yi shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Below Xu Chuan’s feet, there appeared copper coins the size of fists, with square holes and round shapes, engraved with the words ’Ascend’ and ’Prosper.’
