The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity Chapter 119 - 116: Ancestral Corpse Refining Technique

The Magician began his second performance.

This performance was very common; many magicians had perford it.

It involved placing a person inside a rectangular iron box, then the magician would slice through the middle, dividing the rectangular iron box into two pieces, which could be moved apart.

But Ye Jin, this Magician, took it to a more thrilling level.

After he made the cut, he separated the two pieces of the box and then opened both, revealing the assistant’s severed head and torso to a round of applause from the audience.

Su Xiaotong, seeing the exaggerated expression of the assistant, felt a chill down her spine.

There was another performance to follow.

The Magician cut off the assistant’s arm and threw it on the ground.

Everyone thought what he threw was a prop, but starting from the elbow, the arm bent, stood upright, and then waved to the audience below.

"Wow! Isn’t that magical!"

"Is there a string on the arm?"

"But her fingers are moving too, that would require a lot of fine strings, right? They would definitely be visible."

"Could it be a robotic arm that simulates a human arm?"

"It’s simply astonishing."

The Magician picked up the arm and stuffed it into a prop box.

The assistant walked out of the box, perfectly unhard, and showed herself off to everyone.

The room burst into applause and a vigorous clapping ensued.

Finally, as the curtain was about to fall, Qin Zhao said to Su Xiaotong, "I’m going to et them."

The "them" she referred to naturally ant the Magician and his assistant.

"I’ll co with you!"

Even though Su Xiaotong was timid, she felt less afraid with Qin Zhao.

"I’ll join you both, too."

Qin Yu was extrely curious; could that assistant really not be a living person?

But her performance on stage seed just like any human.

They arrived backstage and requested to see the Magician.

The staff refused to let them through.

Qin Yu presented his business card, "I’m looking to discuss a collaboration with Ye Jin."

Seeing the information on the business card, the staff’s attitude imdiately changed.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were here to discuss a collaboration."

Qin Yu’s entertainnt company was well-known in the industry, and the staff respectfully let them in.

They t the Magician, Ye Jin, and his assistant, Wang Xuan.

Both were still dressed in formal wear, having not had the chance to change yet.

Wang Xuan was wearing a red formal gown with a ribbon tied around her neck.

After being introduced to Qin Yu, Ye Jin warmly greeted him.

"Mr. Qin, it’s good to et you, I have long heard of your company’s reputation."

Qin Yu shook his hand politely, "Your magic is spectacular, and you draw a large audience. Our company has several advertising endorsents available; are you interested?"

Ye Jin’s eyes lit up, "Interested, shall we go to the office and talk?"

Qin Zhao’s gaze fell on Wang Xuan and noticed her body showed no signs of life.

To be more specific, she wasn’t breathing and had no heartbeat.

Similar to a zombie, but her body exhibited no signs of decay or transformation.

Noticing Qin Zhao’s gaze, Wang Xuan smiled at her.

Qin Yu and Ye Jin headed to the office, and Qin Zhao said to Wang Xuan, "Could we step aside for a chat?"

Wang Xuan hesitated for a mont before nodding.

They moved to the backstage makeup room.

Su Xiaotong walked behind Qin Zhao and locked the door from the inside.

If Qin Zhao was going to deal with this guy, she didn’t want her running away.

Only the three of them were in the dressing room when Qin Zhao directly said, "You didn’t turn yourself into this ghostly figure just to make money, right?"

Wang Xuan had no resentful energy on her body, indicating that she had beco this way voluntarily.

Upon hearing Qin Zhao’s question, her expression instantly changed.

"What do you an by that?"

Qin Zhao yanked off her scarf, revealing a circle of tape around her neck.

Beneath the clear tape was a cut.

Her head had indeed been severed and then patched back on with tape.

Qin Zhao slowly spoke, "You’ve been dead for a while now."

"Ah! How did you find out about this!"

Wang Xuan covered her neck and stepped back in shock.

She stared at Qin Zhao in horror.

"Because I am a Heavenly Master, specifically dealing with lost souls like you."

Qin Zhao’s icy gaze made Wang Xuan’s heart skip a beat.

Suddenly, Qin Zhao threw a talisman that struck Wang Xuan’s forehead.

Her soul popped out of her body.

Her body clattered to the ground, falling apart into several pieces.

Her head was one piece, and her limbs had been severed.

Her body lay scattered around the ground in pieces, but there was no blood.

Su Xiaotong couldn’t help but think of those dolls whose limbs and heads could be detached when she saw this scene.

Wang Xuan was truly frightened by Qin Zhao’s move and quickly pleaded, "Lord Heavenly Master, I haven’t hard anyone since I beca a ghost! I swear! Please spare !"

"I know you haven’t hard anyone,"

Qin Zhao could tell, otherwise she would have been executed long ago.

"My transformation was due to life’s pressures! Ye Jin and I are husband and wife, we were poor all our lives, we finally found a way to make money, and we could finally live a good life. Please, let go!"

"Did he make you like this?"

"I did it voluntarily," said Wang Xuan. "My ancestors were corpse drivers from the Northwest, but those skills have been lost and no one does that kind of business anymore.

Once, Ye Jin and I returned to our ancestral ho and found an ancient to that described the Corpse Refining Technique."

"Did he refine you?"

Wang Xuan shook her head. "At that ti, my business was failing, I owed millions in debts I couldn’t repay, so I ran back to our ancestral ho.

The loan sharks followed, and I had no choice but to drown myself in the river.

By the ti Ye Jin pulled out of the water, I was already gone, and the debt collectors left.

He loved too much to bear the grief of losing , so he used the ancient Corpse Refining Technique from the book, allowing my body to remain the sa forever.

I couldn’t bear to leave him, and my soul lingered. By chance, Ye Jin was able to see , and I could interact with tangible objects.

Not only that, but I was also able to return to my previous body!"

As Wang Xuan spoke about the later events, she appeared sowhat excited.

Qin Zhao guessed that she must have had so good luck, entering so kind of blessed land that inadvertently strengthened her soul.

"My body is already dead, which is quite different from being alive. Although I lost human senses, I can stay young forever!

Ye Jin was a magician, but he was not famous and no one sought his performances.

Later, we thought of this thod, and that’s how we have everything now."

After hearing the whole story, Su Xiaotong was no longer afraid; instead, she marveled at how vast and strange the world was.

Qin Zhao frowned slightly, "The paths of the living and the dead should not cross. I advise you to seek reincarnation soon. Since you no longer possess human senses, these worldly pleasures of wealth and fa are of no use to you."

"But they are useful to Ye Jin! He loves so much, and I want to ensure he has a good life!"

"Are you sure he loves you?"

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but scoff, knowing Ye Jin to be a man of shallow affection.
