邪神之道 B1

Two Years in the Burial Grounds Sect

"Hmm this should be fine..."

With a cleaned out corpse that's filled with dark Undead Ashes in front of him Ye Gui Feng holds a talisman with clean hands.

Activating the talisman Ye Gui Feng pastes it onto the forehead of the two meter tall Jiangshi.

"Alright awaken- Errr..."

Attempting to think up of a name Ye Gui Feng randomly blurts one out as he raises his hands apart.

"Sǐ Rén-Lǎo Dà! (死人老大 Translation: Big Boss Deadman)"

The bared body Jiangshi abruptly lifts up its upper body and comes to a seated position before standing up and hopping off of the operating table.

Ye Gui Feng does a few set of checkups to ensure that the Jiangshi, Big Brother Deadman is fully operational by forming a link between him and the Jiangshi.

The Jiangshi under Ye Gui Feng's control does a few simple movements. After a few minutes of playing around with the Jiangshi to ensure that it is fully functional Ye Gui Feng grew incredibly exhausted to continue on further.

Though Ye Gui Feng has trained a bit in his skills of Jiangshi manipulation that doesn't mean that he can control this Jiangshi with ease.

"This is quite taxing on magic energy..."

Despite how taxing it was Ye Gui Feng is never the less happy about finally succeeding in making his first Jiangshi.

From within his storage bag Ye Gui Feng pulls out a set of old clothes that is the standard attire used for newly made Jiangshi and has the undead don them.

The attire is a set of robes that is mostly red with a few shades of black.

"I should try to raise my cultivation a bit more. I'm far too weak in this sect. I need to be able to have enough energy to manipulate three Jiangshi at once."

Motivating himself Ye Gui Feng made the Jiangshi sit by in the workshop before he walked to his living space and sat down cross legged to begin cultivation.

Time passes by quickly as Ye Gui Feng cycles through the process of absorption and refinement.

If Ye Gui Feng had focused on cultivation alone throughout his entire time here in the Burial Grounds Sect then he may have already made it to the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

But Ye Gui Feng had chosen to focus on his craft more as he knew that there is a limit to what he can do to speed up his own cultivations.

As months pass by Ye Gui Feng's body is completely enveloped in a red aura while ghostly bodies surround him. His cultivation rapidly approaches the fourth level of Qi Condensation.

At the end of the month Ye Gui Feng opens his eyes causing the ghostly bodies around him to quietly drift away from his cave. The first thought that comes to his mind upon waking up from his cultivation is-

"Ah right my garden."

Ye Gui Feng takes out the plant seeds and begin to plant them on top of the soil bed. Beneath this soil bed that's filled with rich nutrition is an uncountable amount of dead bodies that Ye Gui Feng had operated on in the midst of his practices.

"Hmm will not having sunlight be fine?"

Being somewhat worried about the fact of there not being any kind of sunlight but left with no choice in the matter Ye Gui Feng sets the seeds into the soil and gives them water before heading out to find Elder Shu once more to ask for another corpse.

Ye Gui Feng left quickly and return quickly. Upon his return he immediately begins to operate on the corpse to make his second Jiangshi.

For the time being Ye Gui Feng only has interest in making three.

As for taking some requests to make one for a specific person... That can wait until his cultivation base is stronger.

"Sǐ Rén-Dà Gē! (死人大哥 Translation: Big Brother Deadman)"

Four hours of knife work, two hours of filling, three hours of stitching up open wounds and the second Jiangshi comes to life at Ye Gui Feng's calling.

"Sǐ Rén-Xiǎo Dì! (死人小弟Translation: Little Brother Deadman)"

The same process repeats after the arrival of the next day. With the completion of Little Brother Deadman, the shortest in stature of the three Ye Gui Feng finally has a total of three Jiangshi at his disposal.

Now all that's left for Ye Gui Feng is to raise his cultivation base as much as possible in order to be capable of fully controlling them for a prolong period of time.

The method of controlling a Jiangshi is for one to connect a thin set of magic strands to them. It was very much similar to controlling a stringed puppet.

After each breakthrough Ye Gui Feng would test out his controls on his three Jiangshi, Sǐ Rén Sān Xiōng Dì (死人三兄弟 Translation: Three Brothers of the Dead).

This allows Ye Gui Feng to quickly grow accustomed to his new level of strength and made his progress faster by constantly exhausting his magic energy repeatedly.

.....................................................................................................................

A total of two years had passed upon Ye Gui Feng's arrival here in the Burial Grounds Sect.

At times Ye Gui Feng would think back to his senior brothers and juniors back in the Seven Rivers Sect. But he has already been branded a traitor by the righteous sect so he has no way to contact them.

Ye Gui Feng also thought about his mortal parents that are still back in the countryside along with the familiar village that he lived in as a child.

"Ah... As a cultivator we cut off all our relationships to mortals."

Cultivators naturally have a longer lifespan than mortals making them almost always outlive those who are not unless something happens that causes them to die early.

"..."

At this time Ye Gui Feng is crouched in front of a fire with paper money in hand as he thought about his dead master Xie Mo Xin with a frown. This paper money is burnt for his dead master but...

"Hmm..."

In all honestly Ye Gui Feng didn't really know the old man that well since they really only met twice and talked for a day's time.

But Ye Gui Feng has heard of the legends that surrounds Xie Mo Xin.

Old devil as they would often call him, a monster that can ruthlessly slaughter thousands in a single move.

All the terrifying things that Ye Gui Feng has heard of about Xie Mo Xin just didn't seem to match the impression he has for his dead master.

In Ye Gui Feng's mind the monster known as the old devil seem to be just an ordinary old man who would talk and brag to those of the younger generation about his evil deeds.

"*Sigh* master in heaven, your disciple is living quite well here in the Burial Grounds Sect."

Gradually Ye Gui Feng empties his hand of the paper money and offers a prayer.

"A-Achooo!"

Somewhere far, far away Xie Mo Xin sneezes.

"Goddammit just who is badmouthing me!?"

Xie Mo Xin glares around looking for any trace of a person but found nothing in the end.

"Hmph I'll find you one of these days you damnable son of a bitch!"
