Chapter 2253: Borrowing a Life (Third Update)

After Chu Zhiping left, Chen Shan’s cold gaze lingered on Zhang Yun’ai and the other three.

His expression was filled with thick excitement and anticipation.

Such a gaze made Zhu Xiaoqi’s body tremble.

The young cultivator from the Demon Bone Tower standing nearby had his teeth chattering.

But Zhang Yun’ai was extremely calm and coldly said to Chen Shan, “Kill or maim, as you wish. No need for nonsense!”

“Hahaha… Can’t kill, can’t kill! You are top-grade material! When Mr. Shentu takes an interest, the benefits I will receive will be substantial!”

Chen Shan laughed loudly and then shouted to “Hu Da”… Lin Tian, “Bring them along and lock them in the most inner iron cell!”

Mr. Shentu?

Lin Tian glanced at Chen Shan, a flicker of doubt in his heart.

However, he quickly found the relevant information about this Mr. Shentu.

Shen Tu Jun!

A talented youth of Cold Corpse Valley, 25 years old, at the peak of Qi Refining Ninth Level!

Only one step away.

From entering Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation!

This talent, in any sect, is considered genius level!

Shen Tu Jun is also seen as the best candidate for future power control of the sub-branch Cold Corpse Valley!

He may even enter the headquarters of Corpse Valley to compete with the talents there!

Therefore.

Shen Tu Jun’s identity and status in Cold Corpse Valley are quite extraordinary.

Second only to the Valley Master and Great Elder!

Except for a few elders, other cultivators in Cold Corpse Valley refer to him as Mr. Shentu!

It’s precisely because of this.

Many cultivation resources in Cold Corpse Valley are almost immediately supplied to Shen Tu Jun!

For example.

Like Zhang Yun’ai and others, this kind is very useful for corpse refinement and is essentially reserved for Shen Tu Jun!

And Chen Shan, as the leader of the dungeon’s guards, benefits greatly from this!

Even not considering Shen Tu Jun, many elders and stewards in the sect who want to refine corpses must come to him for people.

Over time, the benefits he has accumulated are unimaginable!

He especially values those needed by Shen Tu Jun, such as Zhang Yun’ai!

Lin Tian paused for a moment and didn’t act immediately, accompanying several of Chen Shan’s subordinates to take Zhang Yun’ai and the others to another iron cell.

After the group was respectively locked in three iron cells, Chen Shan looked at Lin Tian, who was masquerading as Hu Da, and said, “Bringing people back, whether for merit or toil, you’ve done well! Speak up, whatever you need or conditions, just ask! If this seat can fulfill them, I will!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s heart stirred, and he immediately smiled, “Boss Chen, it’s said that there were some good catches today? From the Special Warfare Reserve Team?”

“Your news is quite well-informed!”

Chen Shan nodded slightly to Lin Tian and said, “Indeed, we captured several today. But they’re just ordinary, incomparable to cultivators, just stronger than average people! Do you want them?”

“Boss Chen… Can you part with them?”

Lin Tian grinned broadly and said.

“Hahaha… I’m in a good mood today! A few ordinary people are nothing big, I’ll gift them to you directly!”

Chen Shan waved his hand heartily and said, “Come this way!”

The cultivators of Corpse Valley practice with Corpse Qi, a unique and special magic!

And this cultivation method, despite its venomous and vicious nature, has the greatest advantage of being extremely fast!

Consider other cultivators’ needs for dense nature’s spiritual energy, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and different Spirit Stones and elixirs.

But Corpse Valley’s cultivators?

It’s simple, even without cultivation resources; just hunt other cultivators or ordinary people, and they can be used for corpse refinement absorption cultivation!

There’s hardly anything more convenient and quick than this!

At present.

Chen Shan offering Yan Cheng and others newly captured to Lin Tian equates to gifting Spirit Stones and Spiritual Pills!

All for cultivation, only with slightly lesser “quality.”

“Thank you, Boss Chen!”

Lin Tian grinned and followed Chen Shan to the other side.

Soon they arrived at the iron cell holding Yan Cheng and the others.

Seeing someone arriving, the already extremely weak Yan Cheng and the others quickly looked up.

“Please… please let us go… We didn’t do anything wrong! I have given you all the herbal medicines I obtained…”

In one of the iron cells, a girl looked up in terror and pleaded.

Lin Tian recognized the girl as Mo Xinxue, an academy trainee from his reserve team.

Clearly, this girl was encountering such a terrifying situation for the first time, with pure panic on her face!

Besides Mo Xinxue, including Yan Cheng, there were six in total!

At this moment, their lifted heads were filled with profound despair!

“These six are yours!”

Chen Shan pointed to Yan Cheng and the six others, saying to Lin Tian, “Although they’re somewhat ordinary, refining corpses to absorb can still significantly enhance cultivation!”

Corpse Refining?

The expression of fear on Yan Cheng and the six people’s faces deepened.

As they looked at “Hu Da,” their eyes already devoid of spirit.

They didn’t understand what corpse refining specifically entailed, but on their way here, they saw much and heard from those escorting them, understanding their fate would be extremely tragic!

“Boss Chen, just these six, I’m quite satisfied!”

Lin Tian swept a half-smiling glance over Yan Cheng and the others, secretly shaking his head.

This encounter, let it serve as their lesson!

So reckless, not losing their lives is truly fortunate!

So Lin Tian said to Chen Shan, “Boss Chen, I also want to borrow something from you!”

“Heh heh… Bold enough to ask for more! But all are fellow sect members, and this seat is in a good mood today!”

Chen Shan’s eyes narrowed slightly, coldly saying, “Speak, what do you want to borrow? Could it be you want to borrow this seat’s corpse refining room?”

“Ha ha… There’s no need for that!”

Lin Tian shook his head.

“Hahaha… Then what to borrow? Just as long as it’s not this seat’s life!”

Chen Shan laughed heartily, his voice like a rumbling vessel.

The group of subordinates standing beside him also burst into uproarious laughter.

They all knew Chen Shan was joking.

Truly courting death, who would dare to mention such words?

“Boss Chen is indeed brilliant and perceptive!”

Lin Tian’s smile grew more intense, nodding, “I indeed wish to borrow Boss Chen’s life!”

Upon uttering these words.

The dungeon instantly fell silent.

The crowd behind Chen Shan were all stunned, their eyes widened, staring deathly at “Hu Da.”

This… this courting death?

Or perhaps accomplished a trivial feat today and became excessively aloof?

Chen Shan’s few subordinates were utterly confused.

If angering Boss Chen, it leads to death!

Even among sect members, if they disrespect Boss Chen, killing will happen without hesitation!

Even if the Valley Master learns of this, if it proves not to be Chen’s fault, that’s absolute death!

The dungeon guard position has been handled by Chen Shan for many years, almost perfectly without error!

Therefore.

He is highly appreciated by the Valley Master!

Talking so recklessly to Chen Shan now, if killed, no one will intervene!

Especially for someone like Hu Da, this bottom-rung disciple!

“Hahaha…”

Chen Shan himself paused for a moment before laughing heartily, unsolemnly saying to Lin Tian, “A joke like this is sufficient once oh! I’m in a good mood today, let’s choose to ignore it!”
