Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: Conspiracy of the Corpse King Palace

As Ye Luo and the others were descending the mountain, inside the villa, the women had already resumed their activities.

”Luo Ji, you mentioned that Brother Ye had undergone some changes, what does that mean?”

Miao Xiaoling blinked her beautiful eyes and asked Luo Ji.

Luo Ji shook her head, ”I don’t know!”

Feeling helpless, Miao Xiaoling recalled how just a few days ago, they were all on edge because Luo Ji had sensed that Ye Luo was in danger. Moreover, Luo Ji’s special ability was to foresee the future, so they had no doubt about her words.

Later, Luo Ji had seen that Ye Luo encountered an opportunity and had undergone some changes, which eliminated the danger, and the women were finally able to relax.

However, once their worries were alleviated, the women’s curiosity arose again. What kind of changes had Ye Luo undergone exactly?

Lin Xiaoyan, who was watching TV, suddenly turned around, ”Isn’t it obvious? He must have mutated!”

Mutated?

Miao Xiaoling looked at the TV screen helplessly. During this period, Lin Xiaoyan had somehow become obsessed with Resident Evil, and now she was outright declaring that Ye Luo had mutated!

If Ye Luo had mutated, then wouldn’t they all end up mutating too?

...

However, what the women didn’t know was that Ye Luo had indeed encountered a mutated zombie!

Corpse King Palace!

One of the four sects of the Demonic Path, the Corpse King Palace specialized in crafting various puppets, even using corpses if necessary.

While everyone’s attention was focused on the Blood Demon Sect, the Corpse King Palace was silently carrying out their plans.

Furthermore, as their strength increased, the Corpse King Palace became more audacious, even daring to target disciples from hidden sects.

Guided by Xiao Ling and Xiao Ba, Ye Luo continued to explore further ahead.

In a valley, he encountered a strange person.

This strange person was wrapped from head to toe in layers of white cloth—looking, at first glance, like a mummy, but clearly, he was not.

The man was holding a wooden box in his arms and appeared to have sustained severe injuries.

When Ye Luo came across this man, he was already at death’s door.

Ye Luo waved his hand, and several Silver Needles directly punctured the man’s body, reviving him.

”Quick, quick, notify the Sect Master, the Corpse King Sect is planning a big move, save, save someone...”

”Wait, clarify, save who?”

Ye Luo quickly channeled some of his Nine Yang Energy into the man to prevent him from dying before finishing his words.

”I am a disciple from Mount Tai Sect who infiltrated the Corpse King Sect. Two months ago, the Grand Elder of the Corpse King Sect developed a new type of corpse poison. The Corpse King Sect is planning to use this poison to mass-produce a new kind of living zombies. I discovered this secret and planned to report back to our sect, but unfortunately, I was discovered and sent to the Corpse Rearing Hall, where they planned to turn me into a puppet. I managed to escape, but I was chased all the way here. Quickly, go and inform the Sect Master. Oh, and this box, it contains a special item which I don’t recognize, but I saw that the Corpse King Palace valued it highly, so I stole it...”

After speaking, the man breathed his last.

This time, even Ye Luo was utterly powerless.

Because the man’s organs had already been filled with a special substance, it could be said that no one could save him.

Ye Luo was incredibly puzzled, but he wasn’t foolish. The members of the Sword Sect were still atop Mount Tai and there were many who disliked him. Going up now would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Ye Luo had no choice but to find another way to inform the Mount Tai Sect.

This matter didn’t weigh too heavily on Ye Luo’s mind since he still had no idea what the Corpse King Sect’s zombification process entailed.

However, an item inside the wooden box caught Ye Luo’s eye.

Because what Xiao Ling and Xiao Ba sensed was precisely the item inside this box.

Ye Luo opened the wooden box and discovered, to his surprise, six gourds inside.

”Master, these are spirits, this is wonderful!” Xiao Ling exclaimed happily.

”Spirits? What are spirits?”

”It’s not strange that Master doesn’t know, after all, spirits are very rare. They are objects but have life, they are born from stones and trees! In fact, in the Martial Realm, spirits are not too uncommon, but here, they are extremely rare!”

”Oh, then what use are these spirits?” Ye Luo asked, puzzled.

”Master, spirits are very versatile. For instance, if some Divine Weapons or Magical Treasures have been enhanced through special forging to raise their realm, generating an Artifact Spirit usually takes a long time. But with spirits, it’s different; you can directly infuse the spirits into the Divine Weapon, effectively skipping the lengthy wait and allowing the Divine Weapon to immediately possess an Artifact Spirit!”

”Other than that, spirits can also be used as Elixirs, so to speak, capable of fully replenishing the True Qi in the Controlling Qi Realm! Of course, if Master prefers, you can also cultivate spirits and turn them into your own Battle Spirits. However, Xiao Ling does not recommend that Master start cultivating them now, as it is extremely difficult to cultivate Battle Spirits, consuming a great deal of rare treasures.”

After hearing this, Ye Luo was slightly stunned, not expecting the spirits to have so many uses!

”So, why were you able to sense them? Does that mean the spirits have a special use for you too?”

”Yes, Master. In fact, we can absorb the strength of spirits to evolve ourselves since the spirits themselves are also a type of special energy.”

Ye Luo nodded, but he had no desire to let Xiao Ling and Xiao Ba consume the six spirits.

After all, as Xiao Ling also mentioned, having the spirits presented an opportunity to forge King Level or even higher Divine Weapons!

You should know, possessing a Divine Weapon was not something you could just decide to have and forging one to your own liking was even more difficult.

So, Ye Luo naturally didn’t want to waste these six spirits.

This time, he had made a huge gain.

Ye Luo felt extremely delighted and walked towards the outside of Mount Tai.

At this moment, in a remote border village, a scene akin to hell on earth was erupting!

It was a location on the border of Huaxia and a neighboring small country.

The area was sparsely populated; the entire village only had about thirty households.

This village on the snow-covered plateau had little contact with the outside world, there were no roads, and it was a five-day walk to the nearest town.

Yet, in this isolated place, a terror beyond outsiders’ imagination was unfolding: limbs strewn everywhere, countless unthinking puppets filled this small mountain village—if someone were to rashly enter, they would likely be frightened to death.

”Elder, it looks like our corpse poison is quite successful. Look at these people, each has lost their mind and has turned completely into a breeding ground for corpse poison. Once we release these puppets, it won’t be long before we can harvest a large number of them!”
