I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 314: Yin Sha Corpse Cave

"Divine General Zhang..."

Liao Chen licked his lips and whispered, "I’ll tell you the location. If you manage to capture the Fourth Grade Evil Infant, then give me one hundred Daoist Merit."

Zhang Yuan calmly countered, "And what if I fail?"

Their conversation had already shifted from the Celestial King Hall to a nearby teahouse.

Zhang Yuan was naturally very interested in the clue about the Evil Infant; the condition of exchanging one hundred Daoist Merit wasn’t an issue.

But he didn’t want to be led by the nose!

"If you fail, then I only want ten Daoist Merit."

Liao Chen replied frankly, "After all, it’s a Yin Sha Corpse Cave. Even if exterminated, there will be other gains."

Yin Sha Corpse Cave?

This name indeed touched the blind spot in Zhang Yuan’s knowledge.

Zhang Yuan never pretended to understand when he didn’t. If he didn’t know, he would directly ask, "What is the Yin Sha Corpse Cave?"

And according to Liao Chen, the Outer Hall Guardian.

The so-called Yin Sha Corpse Cave refers to a corpse-nurturing place where Yin Sha Qi gathers.

There are two types of Yin Sha Corpse Caves. One forms naturally, while the other is man-made.

But no matter which kind, a Yin Sha Corpse Cave will breed zombies.

Zombies belong to the category of bizarre, malevolent entities and can be divided into Wooden Corpse, Iron Corpse, Copper Corpse, Golden Corpse, and Corpse King.

They possess tremendous power, their bodies harder than gold or iron, with sharp claws and teeth infused with poison, making them very difficult to deal with.

Some evil cultivators are skilled at nurturing zombies, using them to harm and injure others.

But the Yin Sha Corpse Cave Liao Chen discovered was naturally formed.

Not an evil cultivator’s lair!

"According to my observations, this Yin Sha Corpse Cave contains at least one Iron Corpse."

Liao Chen explained, "This upper-grade zombie has a considerable chance of condensing an Evil Infant. I don’t dare to take the risk given my inadequate strength, so I’m willing to pass on this opportunity."

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Why look for me?"

Zhang Yuan usually acted alone, only having closer ties with Xuan Cheng and Han Zixun.

He had no previous dealings with Liao Chen.

To Zhang Yuan’s query, the Outer Hall Guardian answered without hesitation, "I think you can easily handle this Iron Corpse, increasing the likelihood of obtaining the Evil Infant significantly."

Condensing an Evil Infant requires a Condensing Evil Talisman, but having a talisman alone isn’t sufficient.

First, the materials must be suitable; second, the timing must be crucial, neither too early nor too late.

Liao Chen wasn’t confident himself, but Zhang Yuan was another story!

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Yuan realized that this Dharma Guardian Divine General was already a renowned figure in the Celestial King Hall, respected by many.

In fact, Zhang Yuan had once been an Outer Hall Guardian, his experiences described as legendary.

And this legendary reputation stemmed from Zhang Yuan single-handedly defeating the Li Family, reverse-slashing a Tier Five expert with Tier Four strength!

The most crucial part is that it’s rumored Zhang Yuan possesses a very powerful Profound Soldiers.

Li Wanlong from the Li Family was slain by this Profound Soldiers!

And Profound Soldiers are precisely effective weapons against zombies.

Honestly, hearing Liao Chen’s statement, Zhang Yuan’s expression became a bit peculiar.

This rumor was evidently spread by the Li Family.

Zhang Yuan had heard about it from others before.

The Li Family clearly held ill intentions, wanting him to become a target.

A Tier Four Martial Artist possessing an upper-grade Profound Soldiers—how could it not attract envy?

Yet, as soon as the rumor emerged, Zhang Yuan became a Dharma Guardian Divine General in the Celestial King Hall.

Moreover, he truly possessed a powerful Profound Soldiers!

And with the golden body blessing of the Dharma Guardian Divine General, who would dare provoke Zhang Yuan?

The effect of the Li Family’s promotion was naturally diminished significantly.

Beyond Zhang Yuan’s formidable strength, another vital reason Liao Chen sought him out was that this Outer Hall Guardian, like Zhang Yuan, had no significant background.

Liao Chen hailed from a small family, entirely unranked within the Xia Ruins.

He became an Outer Hall Guardian in the Celestial King Hall relying on some connections left by his parents.

Liao Chen’s Martial Arts talent was ordinary; reaching Tier Four was a result of his family’s utmost effort.

Without extraordinary opportunities, he never thought he could achieve Qi Condensation and Yuan Transformation, stepping into Tier Five in his lifetime.

Under these circumstances, Liao Chen had to consider more than improving his own cultivation ability.

He needed to support his family.

This was the reason he passed on the opportunity, exchanging Daoist Merit with Zhang Yuan.

Compared to other guardians from noble families, Liao Chen preferred trusting Zhang Yuan, the Dharma Guardian Divine General.

"I see." Zhang Yuan nodded, "I accept your terms."

One hundred Daoist Merit might be costly, but considering Liao Chen provided a Yin Sha Corpse Cave with an Iron Corpse, and payment was conditional upon acquiring the Evil Infant, it’s a fair deal.

"Excellent." Liao Chen was immediately overjoyed, "Divine General Zhang, if it’s convenient, I can take you there now."

"No hurry." Zhang Yuan smiled, "It’s getting late now. We can go tomorrow morning."

Liao Chen might have feared the prolonged night and potential changes.

But how could Zhang Yuan rush to the perilous Taiwu Mountain to find the Yin Sha Corpse Cave without preparation?

Although Liao Chen was a bit anxious, he understood Zhang Yuan’s apprehensions and agreed readily.

After Liao Chen left, Zhang Yuan returned to the Celestial King Hall.

He sought out Daoist Xuan Yong.

To inquire about Liao Chen’s affairs.

Xuan Yong is the Outer Hall Steward, quite a decent person, and due to the previous Li Family incident, harbored a sense of guilt towards Zhang Yuan.

With Zhang Yuan now being a Dharma Guardian Divine General, Xuan Yong held nothing back.

Among Outer Hall Guardians, Liao Chen was quite a low-profile presence.

Naturally, this was related to his small family background and moderate strength.

But Liao Chen left the deepest impression on Xuan Yong for his diligence in completing Daoist Merit tasks!

Liao Chen never tackled tasks beyond his abilities, and nor did he pass up the most menial missions.

The Daoist Merit he painstakingly accumulated was mostly used for exchanging cultivation resources.

For his family’s benefit!

Xuan Yong’s accounts clearly matched Liao Chen’s self-description.

In this regard, Liao Chen didn’t deceive Zhang Yuan.

Thus, early the next morning, Zhang Yuan met with Liao Chen at the Celestial King Hall as arranged.

The duo then set off for Taiwu Mountain.

According to Liao Chen, he discovered the Yin Sha Corpse Cave inadvertently while gathering herbs.

The location was quite remote and secluded.

However, both were Tier Four cultivation, with proficient body techniques gliding swiftly, soon reaching deep into Taiwu Mountain.

Liao Chen was familiar with the terrain, leading Zhang Yuan across mountains and through forests.

After nearly half an hour of trekking, they arrived at a dark, deep old forest.

The Outer Hall Guardian halted, pointed towards the forest depth, and said, "The Yin Sha Corpse Cave is up ahead, Divine General Zhang. I’ll remain here; I won’t accompany you inside."

"Okay." As it was agreed beforehand, Zhang Yuan nodded, diving into the eerie forest.

Chilling air surged from all directions, a faint wailing echoed from the depths of the woods.

An abandoned tomb appeared in Zhang Yuan’s line of sight!
