Undead Mage from a Cell

After putting away the Corpse Dissolving Immortal’s corpse, the corresponding attributes popped up in front of Gu Xi’s eyes.

[Corpse-Disintegration Immortal Remains (Purple): A cultivator, upon realizing his path was hopeless, chose the path of corpse dissolution to become a Corpse Dissolving Immortal (Level 30). After ascending to immortality, his body was left behind, transforming into a bamboo staff.

Although it’s unclear what use this thing has, it’s always good to keep it.]

Gu Xi wasn’t surprised at all that the Corpse Dissolving Immortal’s strength was only Level 30.

The world’s cap is Level 45, but that doesn’t mean everyone in this world is Level 45.

If even a mere Corpse Dissolving Immortal reached the world’s Level cap, what would become of other Celestial and Earth Immortals?

So Level 30 is considered a more reasonable level.

However, Gu Xi’s mind wasn’t on this matter. After putting away the Corpse-Disintegration Immortal Remains, Gu Xi spoke to the Li Family’s Daughter.

”Since you’ve sought me out, I’ll give you a hand. But let’s be clear, I’m only lending you power, not intervening on your behalf.”

”That’s only right.”

The Li Family’s Daughter bowed her head honestly as she heard this.

Though she had given away her most precious possession, she was still somewhat apprehensive.

She was unsure of Gu Xi’s status in the Underworld and whether Gu Xi could actually help her.

But Gu Xi gave her no choice, raising his left hand, and the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier appeared beside him.

Seeing someone suddenly appear on her bridal sedan, the Li Family’s Daughter was also startled.

However, upon seeing the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, she suppressed some thoughts in her heart.

Thinking to herself: This time I’ve truly found a powerful backer, as this is the robe of the Underworld’s king, now under Gu Xi’s control, indicating Gu Xi must really be some high figure from the Underworld reincarnated for cultivation.

Even his clothes have transformed into soldiers to protect him.

Gu Xi pointed outward, and the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier floated out, standing beside the bridal sedan.

”I believe this should be enough. Even if there are other issues, I can step forward and negotiate, ensuring your safety.”

Hearing this, the Li Family’s Daughter was thrilled and hugged Gu Xi tightly, ”Thank you, young sir. This is a reward to express my gratitude.”

Without further ado, she kissed Gu Xi on the cheek.

Gu Xi, somewhat disdainfully, pushed her away, saying, ”Don’t do that, I didn’t mean it that way.”

As he pushed, he couldn’t help but feel something odd, wondering why this White Jade-sculpted girl seemed to have some resilience.

There must be something amiss here.

This jade is so smooth.

Gu Xi, you can’t keep doing this. This is someone else’s bridal sedan.

Not everything is about jade. Focusing on jade will only harm you.

Admittedly, warm jade is indeed appealing.

…

As Gu Xi studied the Living Ghost’s outer shell inside the sedan, the Li Family’s wedding procession was moving forward.

Workers of Level 20 and above carrying and lifting things efficiently.

They moved at quite a fast pace.

If Gu Xi opened the sedan curtain at this moment, he would discover that the sedan was moving far faster than his Evil Coffin.

However, Gu Xi, being entangled by the incredibly strong Li Family’s Daughter, dared not move recklessly. Let alone glance at the situation outside the sedan.

Gu Xi had no idea where he was or what was happening outside until he felt the sedan slowly come to a stop, with a flushed face, he finally sat up straight.

”What’s happening outside?”

”Young sir, it seems someone has come to block the road. It will depend on you now.”

Gu Xi rolled his eyes, ”I only lent you my power, I haven’t sold myself to you. Why are you getting ahead of yourself?”

”Well, since you extended the branch, I naturally need to climb it,” the Li Family’s Daughter said with a faint blush, completely different from her previous stiff demeanor.

Gu Xi felt a bit helpless since he took someone’s bamboo staff; he couldn’t just turn hostile.

After tidying his clothes, Gu Xi lifted the sedan’s curtain and stepped out.

As he jumped out of the sedan, he stumbled a bit.

But he quickly supported himself with the Illusion Magic Wand, standing firm and looked towards the front of the bridal procession.

Up ahead, two processions blocked the road.

One was a funeral procession, with filial children in mourning clothes constantly throwing paper money.

Yet, Gu Xi could distinctly feel a strong life force emanating from the coffin they carried.

Scanning the funeral procession, Gu Xi noticed the professional mourners didn’t seem to be related, even having different bloodlines.

After thinking for a moment, the Spirit Lamp Carrier appeared before Gu Xi, and through the Spirit Lamp’s vision, he saw that the entire mourning procession was being controlled by the one inside the coffin.

This was someone capable of forming an army alone, akin to another path for the Undead Mage.

The situation of the other procession was even more perplexing to Gu Xi.

If the mourning procession still seemed justifiable, this other procession was entirely unreasonable.

One person at the front shook a bell, followed by more than a hundred cloth-wrapped bodies hopping along.

Their actions were clearly those of a corpse-driving team.

Gu Xi looked up at the sky, noticing that the moon was bright, the moonlight illuminating the road; it was indeed an auspicious time for the wandering of various Undead and Yin Ghosts.

Pressing his temples, Gu Xi acknowledged that the situation was quite tricky. If it were merely Undead, he might step out to request a favor.

Yet, it was clear these two were not Undead.

Unfamiliar with this world, Gu Xi didn’t know who these two were or what path they followed.

At this moment, the Li Family’s Daughter, having dressed, floated behind Gu Xi.

Due to bridal customs preventing her feet from touching the ground, she placed her hands on Gu Xi’s shoulders, using him to keep afloat.

”I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Wang Datong and Liu Quanshi. What, you guys also have designs on the Grass Returning Pill?

I understand Wang Datong, the Living Ghost Corpse Transformation Technique also needs the Grass Returning Pill for support.

But what’s the matter with you, Liu Quanshi? You’re a living corpse driver, why do you want the Grass Returning Pill?”

The corpse driver pulled away the black veil in front of him, revealing a face stiffer than a zombie’s.

He then forced a smile, ”It’s not for myself; I’m asking for someone else. Miss Li, you’ve already mastered the Jade Transformation Skill; you don’t need the Grass Returning Pill. The Yang Qi consumption isn’t substantial. Why not let me have it?”

”Just because the consumption isn’t substantial doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’m telling you, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter. I’m determined to get the Grass Returning Pill. See the gentleman in front of me? He’s from the Underworld... He’s a significant figure.”
