Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 962

The tomb keeper chuckled dismissively and retorted, "Don't you find it strange? These people were clearly in cahoots, so why are they all dead while you're still alive?"

Ling Yanyan shrugged and said, "How would I know? I haven't encountered any danger along the way. Maybe it's because I'm too powerful, so these people aren't qualified to threaten me."

"Heh, your flattery is so fake." The tomb keeper said disdainfully, "Although I don't know why, I'm sure you didn't kill these people, otherwise you would have been killed long ago."

Ling Yanyan rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, I admit I didn't kill them, but I didn't do it on purpose either."

The tomb keeper sneered, "Nonsense! If you really didn't do it on purpose, why are you hiding and afraid to show your face?"

"This!" Ling Yanyan was speechless.

He wasn't afraid of the tomb guardians, but the tomb guardians were afraid of the power behind Ling Yanyan.

No matter what, Ling Yanyan was his savior. If the tomb keeper killed Ling Yanyan, he would definitely suffer retaliation and might even die without a burial place!

The tomb keeper was not stupid; on the contrary, he was very clever, so he knew exactly what choice he should make.

"Alright, I won't hold you responsible." The tomb keeper waved his hand, then added, "You can leave now."

"Are you sure?" Ling Yanyan asked suspiciously.

"Yes." The tomb keeper nodded without room for argument.

"Thank you." Ling Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to become nourishment for this perverted tomb keeper.

"No need to thank me. We are both human, and we should help each other." After saying this, the tomb keeper turned around and returned to the coffin to rest.

"Consider this a favor I owe you." Ling Yanyan sighed deeply, then quickly ran out of the cave.

Just as Ling Yanyan escaped the cave, he heard shrill screams coming from outside. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! You better pray you don't fall into my hands, or I'll kill you!"

Near the cave is a giant valley, where lush flowers, grasses and trees grow.

At the end of the valley stands a magnificent castle, about a thousand feet high, exuding a sense of weight and grandeur.

Ling Yanyan stood in front of the castle, looking up at it, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Where is this place?" Ling Yanyan asked, her heart pounding with fear.

The tomb keeper did not deceive him; there was indeed a super strongman hidden in this mountain forest, and the number of them was extremely terrifying. The fighting power of this army alone was probably unmatched even by a first-rate sect.

"This is my lair!" The tomb keeper smiled faintly, then walked towards the castle.

"Wait!" Ling Yanyan quickly stopped the tomb keeper and solemnly warned, "This castle is extremely dangerous. If you're not careful, you could die!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." The tomb keeper smiled slightly, then strode straight into the castle.

"Damn it, has this guy gone mad?" Ling Yanyan was stunned as he watched the tomb keeper walk in.

"Sigh! Never mind! I can't worry about that now. I need to find a safe place to heal first." Ling Yanyan shook his head and quickly left.

Night falls, and the dark forest falls silent.

A man in blue robes sat cross-legged on a towering ancient tree.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Ling Yan Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and his gaze flashed with icy killing intent.

"Finally, I've broken through!" Ling Yanyan was overjoyed. He then took out a bead from his pocket, which was the Spirit Essence Bead he had obtained from the tomb guardian.

"My soul power has doubled, and my strength has tripled!" Ling Yanyan was overjoyed as he felt the surging soul power in his mind.

"I am now a peak Qi Gathering Realm martial apprentice, just a hair's breadth away from the Transcendent Realm." Ling Yanyan grinned.

The Spirit Pearl doubled Ling Yan Yan's cultivation speed.

In just half a day, his cultivation level increased by a third, a speed that was truly astonishing.

Ling Yanyan originally only had the eighth level of Body Tempering cultivation, but now he has broken through to the peak of Qi Gathering Realm, and is only one step away from the Mortal Transformation Realm.

"As long as I absorb the energy of the Spirit Pearl, my cultivation will definitely be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Gathering!" Ling Yanyan was extremely excited; he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
