Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 229 - 112: Everyone Rejoices, A Brand-New Yan Yu

Chapter 229: Chapter 112: Everyone Rejoices, A Brand-New Yan Yu

If they really face each other, how can they be a match for the Martial Artist?"

Li Yuan asked again, "Innate Corpse, since it’s a pattern of ghosts operating within a human body, is there a possibility to fully control the ghost? Or rather, is there a possibility for the ghost to control the human?

Ghosts themselves lack human intelligence, only acting according to patterns, but if they were to gain human intelligence, wouldn’t they be even more terrifying?"

Yan Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "That probably won’t happen.

If a ghost truly had human intelligence, this..."

He couldn’t imagine it.

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let’s not act rashly for now, I’ll think of a way."

...

That day, Pang Yuanhua went to Ghost Street.

Upon returning, she reported the information to Li Yuan.

"Senior, something strange happened at the entrance of Ghost Street. The vendor who had been selling rouge and powder for years disappeared.

The Innate Corpses are still discussing this matter."

"I understand, keep watching for me."

...

The next day at dawn.

Li Yuan sat alone on the stone steps, glancing at the information:

[You spent a harmonious night with Yan Yu, gaining 7 remaining points]

At this moment, combining this information and what Yan Mu had mentioned earlier, he had a vague yet bold guess in his heart.

"Maybe Feng’Er’s pattern truly doesn’t allow Sister Yan to die...

And to protect Xiaozhao, Sister Yan must have actively provoked the vendor who approached her.

The vendor wants to kill Sister Yan.

But Feng’Er won’t allow Sister Yan to die.

So, these two ghosts are fusing... just that the fate of Sister Yan stuck in the middle is uncertain."

"Speaking of which, the dream where Sister Yan and Xiaozhao are located is likely deep within Ghost Street.

This would also explain why that Dream House can do business and why that vendor could find us."

As Li Yuan was thinking, the landlady dressed in a nightgown, with one hand holding Xiao Ping’an and the other carrying Xiaozhao, ran over from afar

"Head of the household, head of the household~"

The landlady called from afar.

Xiaozhao’s "wah wah" crying also floated over.

Xiao Ping’an shouted beside: "Bitter Bag, Bitter Bag~~"

The landlady knocked on his head, saying, "Stop calling."

Li Yuan turned around.

The landlady said, "Xiaozhao... she hasn’t slept well all night, and as soon as it got light, she started clamoring to find her mother."

Li Yuan stepped forward, picked up his daughter, stroked her thin hair, and said with a smile, "It’s okay, it will be okay."

...

Afterwards, every night, Li Yuan and the landlady slept with the two children in one bed, which slightly stabilized Xiaozhao’s emotions.

But Li Yuan’s mood was quite heavy.

Even in the Central Plains, matters of ghosts are like crossing a river by feeling the stones, so how could he have known the reaction the Gray Rouge Box would have when used on Xiaozhao?

In his depressed mood, he turned into a cultivation maniac, diving into the various Horizontal Cultivation Skill Books and Arrow Skill Books he had purchased through different channels.

Besides having Pang Yuanhua inquire for information, he frantically cultivated.

He practiced cultivation skills and communicated with Yan Mu about the Willow Return Technique to learn the cultivation method of the Willow Return Technique from the Eighth Grade to the Seventh Grade, and resumed practicing upon returning.

He cultivated in reverse, progressing extremely fast, and as long as he mastered the basics of the Willow Return Technique, he could directly achieve perfection.

Time flies, and half a year passed.

Besides adding points to the Willow Return Technique, Li Yuan only used points at breakthrough moments for his skills.

Every time he reached a skill bottleneck, he added two points...

And whenever a skill reached the Grandmaster Level but was not perfected, cultivation would become excessively hard, so he maxed it out directly...

As a result, he accumulated 8308 remaining points, and after City Destruction and Six Harmonies, he also realized the Horizontal Cultivation Ultimate Skill "Golden Body" and the Archery Ultimate Skill "Cloud-piercing."

Though these are Seventh Grade Ultimate Skills, Li Yuan compared them to his Overlord Blade, Demon Blade, and Absolute Blade, discovering they had reached the Middle Stage level, roughly in the Advanced Level of Sixth Grade Skills.

City Destruction, cuts through everything.

Six Harmonies, strikes in all directions.

While Golden Body enables him to withstand forces less than 900 in strength without a scratch.

One should know that a "900" measure is already at the pinnacle of Seventh Grade, and back when he was not yet at Sixth Grade, his highest strength was just at this number.

Cloud-piercing allows an arrow to shoot kilometers yet still pierce through several falling leaves.

As deep autumn approached...

Li Yuan sat beneath a tree, glancing at the information.

His overall strength increased from 1140-1640 to 1140-1890.

The Willow Return Technique and Soul-Throwing Technique in his body formed closed Shadow Blood Beads; if he detonated them all, he’d reach an 1890 strength level.

Several withered yellow leaves whirled and scattered, drifting near the wine pot on the stone table.

He drank a jug of strong wine...

He was still waiting for Yan Yu.

Always waiting.

Yan Yu wasn’t dead.

Because his points kept increasing daily since the rouge and powder vendor at the entrance of Ghost Street never reappeared.

On another note, Yan Mu left Baihua Manor and resided in a house in Silver Creek.

He felt guilty, feeling he had wronged his uncle and aunt.

Though Li Yuan didn’t say it, Yan Mu always felt it was his mentioning of "Innate Corpse" that caused all the subsequent trouble. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

But it was in this deep autumn that a fast horse came from the north, crossing the Long Sleep River, delivering the news of his upcoming new post.

The post was at Beijiang Prefecture.

Beijiang Prefecture lies north of the Long Sleep River, overseeing thirty-six counties.

Many of these have forces under the Divine Wood Hall, akin to the Blood Saber Sect under the Holy Fire Palace, which lost connection with the upper ranks during the upheaval of Crown Prince Red Lotus.

What Yan Mu had to do was become the deputy, reconnect these subordinate forces to the Divine Wood Hall, and then... kill the incoming new prefect.
