I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 126 - 87: Twin Coffin, Mandarin Duck Tomb

Necromancy is also known as Corpse Nourishnt, and it is divided into two types: dry corpses and wet corpses.

Necromancy refers to a corpse after burial, where the hair and nails continue to grow. If the corpse was pregnant, the fetus would continue to develop as well. These are called Corpse Infants or Yin Ghost Infants.

The Corpse Nourishing Scripture ntions that in the necromancy state, the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. This is due to the corpse absorbing the essence of the sun and moon or the "旺气" from its own Corpse House.

The Corpse Talk also records that if a necromancy corpse was unearthed with its mouth wide open and unwilling to close, it would actively consu humans.

Moreover, it would start by consuming its own descendants.

Xu Qing, by combining the Corpse Concealnt Technique and his past experience, deepened his understanding of ’corpses.’

"Indeed, helping my peers move on is still more cost-effective!"

The rewards he received every ti he helped a corpse move on were related to the skills, experiences, or obsessions that the corpse had during its lifeti.

Corpse Drivers often dealt with corpses, making it easier to obtain techniques or items that would aid a Zombie’s cultivation.

Xu Qing silently noted the existence of the Yin Corpse Sect. Though he had no intention of interacting with them now, he knew he might encounter them in the future.

In Lu Ping’s mory, Yang Qiying used a jar of special oil from Cizhao Temple to burn an Iron Armored Corpse to charcoal, causing Xu Qing to be cautious.

In the end, the Wandering Corpses were not strong enough. Cizhao Temple’s thod of adding oil to the fire to deal with malevolent spirits inherently restrained the Wandering Corpses.

I reflect on myself three tis a day.

Reviewing the day’s gains and losses, Xu Qing realized there were two places he shouldn’t provoke: one was the Yin Corpse Sect, and the other was Cizhao Temple.

Thinking about the special oil Yang Qiying used, Xu Qing suddenly recalled a jar with a narrow mouth and bulging body at the bottom of the shop’s miscellaneous shelf.

Yang Qiying had obtained two jars of oil, using one on Lu Ping’s Iron Armored Corpse, so the jar under the shelf should be the remaining one.

Clicking his tongue, Xu Qing rarely smiled. Although the oil was a one-ti item to deal with malevolent spirits, it still counted as a new trump card.

Besides knowing the purpose of the jar under the miscellaneous shelf, Xu Qing also gained insight into other matters.

He had initially thought the Black Coffin at the Funeral Shop was a tool to seal Lu Ping. Now, it seed that it was specially crafted by Yang Qiying for Necromancy and Corpse Nourishnt.

No wonder Lu Ping’s face was covered with green hair.

Looking at the unimpressive appearance of the zombie with a different surna, Xu Qing took out a razor from the Mountain and River Map and shaved off the wildly growing Corpse Hair on Lu Ping.

Then, he took out the costics and red cinnabar paper used for preparing the deceased and applied powder, drew eyebrows, and added red lips.

A Galloping Immortal Disciple must maintain an acceptable appearance while walking the world.

Pulling out the Corpse Teeth and cutting the nails, after so grooming, a cold and glamorous female disciple with red makeup vividly appeared before Xu Qing.

Regardless of whether the Galloping Immortal Disciple was useful or not, the appearance alone was pleasing to the eye.

After handling Lu Ping’s body, Xu Qing took out a Corpse Nourishing Pill. As soon as the elixir appeared, the air was filled with a peculiar fragrance.

His nostrils twitched, and though he had no saliva, Xu Qing couldn’t resist the urge to swallow.

After swallowing the elixir, the Spirit Pill did not dissolve imdiately. Instead, it remained in his body in an external elixir form, with wisps of Yin energy continuously flowing into his body, nourishing the entire corpse.

Savoring the experience, Xu Qing’s evaluation of the Yin Corpse Sect raised a few notches.

The taste of the corpses from the Yin Corpse Sect was indeed extraordinary!

The overflowing Yin energy perated his skin, constantly nourishing it.

Xu Qing felt that he seed to have found another path in his cultivation.

There are many ways for a Zombie to cultivate. The most common ones are Necromancy, Skin Corpse, and Flesh Corpse.

The Flesh Corpse is a living dead. To maintain its flesh from rotting, it usually preys on at to supplent, without conscious cultivation.

The Skin Corpse, as the na suggests, is essentially an ’Empty Stake,’ a corpse without internal organs.

This type of corpse, like necromancy, grows Corpse Hair, hiding by day and coming out at night.

Most of the internal organs of a Skin Corpse are shrunken and degraded, but its skin is extrely tough, ensuring it never decays. The only drawback is that Skin Corpses also lack consciousness from their forr lives and are extrely stubborn and persistent, making them unyielding Zombies.

From the beginning, Xu Qing had self-conscious cultivation. Now, mastering both internal and external cultivation, not only could his skin remain tough and uncorrupted, but the quality of his flesh body had also reached a high grade.

If he didn’t conceal his aura and was discovered by cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect, he would surely beco a pri Corpse Refining Material in their eyes.

The outside world was ultimately too dangerous, and the Ancient Yin River Dao was the Yin Corpse Sect’s trial ground. If he encountered disciples from the Yin Corpse Sect on the way...

Frowning and deep in thought, Xu Qing concluded that if he had known these secrets about the Yin Corpse Sect earlier, he would never have agreed to Hu Baosong’s request to go to the Ancient Yin River Dao to find the Hu Yang Ancient Tomb for a burial.

Although business needed to be conducted with integrity, risking the journey was not his intention.

"Forget it, there will always be a way. At worst, I’ll preserve Hu Baosong’s corpse and wait until my path of cultivation is more advanced to find the Hu Yang Ancient Tomb."

Having made up his mind, Xu Qing snapped back to reality and focused again on the space inside the coffin, resembling a tomb, before him.
