Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 551 - 6: Rising from the Dead

"Master, there’s a ghost!!!"

As a high-achieving student, Lin Lan didn’t believe in ghosts and gods at all before. Leaving messages for Lin Jing was just a way of expressing her longing.

However, after she truly encountered an "Immortal," Lin Lan’s worldview had already shattered.

She learned that a long, long time ago on Earth, immortals and deities truly existed. Although powerful cultivators became scarce with the decline of spiritual qi, there were still some ancient qi refiners, cultivators following the martial path, pursuing the road of immortality.

In such circumstances, ghosts and deities didn’t seem too difficult to accept.

Lin Jing... she was sure she personally witnessed this cousin’s death, but now...

"Let me take a look." Lu Mountain Hermit, an elderly lady, flew swiftly to comfort her young apprentice. After seeing the phone screen Lin Lan pointed to, she calculated with her fingers and squinted her eyes, saying:

"It should be that your cousin’s account has been hacked."

"Otherwise, maybe he told his password to a friend before."

"This." Lin Lan felt that her master’s deduction was quite plausible.

[Who are you, and why are you logging into his account? Don’t you know this is very offensive? Don’t you know he has passed away?]

Lin Jing: [It’s me, Lan Lan. Long time no see. Are you by mom and dad’s side now?]

Lin Lan: [?]

[Do you want to die? Don’t let me find out who you are.]

Lin Jing chuckled: [It’s really me. A sorcerer resurrected me from the grave, saying I have a special lunar body, capable of becoming a Corpse Cultivator. As you can see, I’m alive again. I saw your message; now you’ve stepped onto the path of cultivation, you should be able to understand.]

Lin Lan: [You’re talking nonsense. I personally sent my brother into the crematorium furnace, where would the body be?]

Lin Jing: [...]

[You don’t understand about black witchcraft.] After speaking, Lin Jing sent over a video. Lin Lan instantly accepted it, and after seeing Lin Jing in the video, Lin Lan was clearly stunned.

Although his style had changed a bit, after being stunned, Lin Lan turned her head to look at her master, Lu Mountain Hermit.

Lu Mountain Hermit also stared wide-eyed: "You’re asking me; as your master, even though I’ve been cultivating for so long, I’ve never come into contact with any sorcerers, witchcraft, or Corpse Cultivation."

"Is Lu Mountain Hermit beside you? Thank you, Hermit, for helping my parents remove the gu poison. Actually, gu techniques are a kind of black witchcraft. I wonder if the Hermit knows who poisoned my parents?"

Lu Mountain Hermit said: "I’m unfamiliar with gu techniques. I just attempted to treat it with Spirit Spring water and fortunately cured it."

"It seems to be quite a rough gu technique." Lin Jing gave orders to the Ice Soul Gu.

[Go, find my parents who share my bloodline, see if you can find any remaining traces of gu worms on them, and then follow the gu worms to find the culprit.]

[Wipe out anyone involved in this matter, regardless of background or number involved. Erase their lives, imprison their souls, and torture them for a hundred years until their souls are scattered.]

The Ice Soul Gu left along Lin Jing’s sleeve, indicating its determination to complete the task.

"Where did this little gu worm get so audacious? Watch as I—Gu Granny—deal with them all." The Ice Soul Gu hurried off, while Lu Mountain Hermit and Lin Lan, unaware of Lin Jing’s revenge plans, continued incredulously staring at Lin Jing on the screen.

There was no sign that Lin Jing looked like a corpse.

"Are you really Lin Jing?"

"Absolutely genuine. Your favorite fruit is watermelon, your favorite dish is fried watermelon skin, and your favorite drink is watermelon juice. Did I get that right? If these don’t prove anything, remember when you were 17, during summer vacation, one day only you and I were home. You ate three watermelons and went to the bathroom eleven times that day, begging me not to tell mom and dad. Do you remember?"

Lin Lan widened her eyes. That particular incident was indeed known only by Lin Jing. She looked in astonishment at her master—could it be that her cousin was really resurrected by black witchcraft? Such an unbelievable thing...

"Lin Lan’s cousin—what about the sorcerer?" Lu Mountain Hermit inquired, as she knew there shouldn’t be such a figure in the cultivation world of China.

"After resurrecting me, he left without any ulterior motives." Lin Jing couldn’t be bothered to fabricate more, making Lu Mountain Hermit fall silent, sensing something amiss—this was too perfunctory.

However, Lin Lan didn’t bother about all that at the moment, she was extremely excited, asking: "Where are you? Where are you now? I’ll come find you."

Lin Jing spoke: "No need to find me. I’m planning to enter seclusion for a while. Once I come out, I’ll come looking for you myself. Also, please don’t tell our parents about me for now."

"And lately, the cultivation world isn’t calm. Two cultivators with terrifying cultivation levels have appeared. You’d better stay quietly in seclusion and cultivate for now, avoid any trouble."

"Huh?" Lin Lan was puzzled—just how terrifying could cultivators with terrifying cultivation levels be?

"How terrifying exactly?" she asked.

Lin Jing pondered for a moment and said: "At minimum, possibly Divinity Transformation Stage, maybe even higher."

Lin Lan rolled her eyes and said: "Divinity Transformation, my foot. The leader of the Dao League only has Fake Pill Cultivation. Do you even know what Divinity Transformation Stage means?"

"Lu Mountain Hermit, I’ll leave Lin Lan in your care. Once I emerge from seclusion, I’ll surely express my gratitude." Lin Jing smiled; disbelief was expected. Hopefully, those two wouldn’t cause too much trouble on this recently spiritual qi-revived Earth just because of their high cultivation... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Lin Lan is my disciple, I will surely take care of her." Lu Mountain Hermit was puzzled; indeed, Lin Lan’s cousin had been dead for over two years, and even if he had fortuitously become a Corpse Cultivator, his cultivation couldn’t be high—so why did he give her such an odd feeling...

During the video call, Lin Lan was hesitant to speak, but Lin Jing had already ended the call. Afterward, Lin Jing still wasn’t at ease about his family, so he telepathically contacted the distant Ice Soul Gu again.

"Lu Mountain is close to Huang Mountain. Before coming back, remember to create two sub-Gu to leave quietly by my parents and cousin’s side to protect them."

The Ice Soul Gu responded from afar, and after confirming that his family was currently fine, Lin Jing began setting up an array, planning to use the Celestial Path Array Flag to break through Void Profound first.

For now, it seemed the Celestial Destiny had not yet chosen a Celestial Destiny Man. Before returning to Earth, he had already learned the Celestial Fate Seizing Technique, yet hadn’t sensed any trace of a Celestial Destiny Man. And when it did choose, it typically favored those with higher cultivation. Therefore, he intended to elevate his realm quickly, and if he could incorporate the first-hand Celestial Destiny, so much the better.

Lin Jing set up the array, intending to enter seclusion and break through on the spot.

Huang Zhixin had already gone down the mountain, and with Huang Qianyun’s company, they booked flight tickets to the Dao League Headquarters, intending to report Huang Mountain’s Demon Lord’s atrocities.

"Grandfather, do you think that senior has reached Golden Core Cultivation..."

"Hard to say, hard to say, but at minimum, he should have Fake Pill cultivation, on par with the Dao League leader... just not sure what that senior gave you, can’t you sense it?"
