I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 107 - 78: Slay the Red Dragon, Subdue the White Tiger_3

He reached out to his clothes, fumbling back and forth, not knowing why he was being so finicky. When he previously performed the salvation rituals for the low-ranking members of the Celestial Heart Sect, most of them were male corpses, and he didn’t feel anything then.

But now, knowing Qing Luo’s true identity, he felt utterly uncomfortable.

Xu Qing thought to himself, finding the Crown Prince’s Tomb in a wild graveyard was one thing, but now performing a salvation ritual on an ordinary Celestial Heart Sect rebel’s body, how could he still end up with a bogus situation?

After cleaning his hands, Xu Qing looked at the Sutra of Salvation.

This mismatched corpse was at least consistent with Bai Luo, both receiving top human-grade evaluations.

The rewards were threefold: a cultivation technique to slay the Red Dragon and subdue the White Tiger; a set of Yin Yang Reversal Skills for transforming males to females and females to males.

Additionally, there was a hidden weapon skill called the Plum Blossom Needle.

Xu Qing took out the accompanying set of needles and threads with plum blossom patterns.

The needles were poison-tipped, imbued with cold venom, while the threads were fine red threads comparable to golden and silver threads.

Holding a needle between his fingers with a flick of his wrist, he infused the needle with Yin energy, and with a swift move, released it.

A soft ’thud’ was heard as the entire poisoned needle embedded itself into the wooden eaves by the window.

With a flick of his wrist, the red thread tightened and swiftly pulled the deeply embedded needle back into his fingers.

Xu Qing remained silent.

This needle technique, devoid of ornamental value, was extremely useful for self-defense or attacking enemies.

He had decided that he would avoid using this needle technique if possible; if he had to use it, he would leave no survivors.

How could there be zombies treading lightly with flying needles, adopting a woman’s gestures?

What a disgrace it would be if that rumor spread! freewebnoveℓ.com

He stored the entire set of Plum Blossom Needles in his sleeve, placing them close to his body, and then glanced at the other rewards.

Slaying the Red Dragon was a cultivation technique for women to sever their menstrual flow and preserve their Yin essence. Subduing the White Tiger was a technique for men to halt their sperm and nurture their true Yang.

If practiced diligently over time, one could regain their prime youthful years.

This method was also the key to reverting from martial arts’ acquired states back to innate states.

But these were not applicable to a zombie’s physiology.

Xu Qing only gave them a brief glance before losing interest.

How could a zombie like him possibly subdue a White Tiger?

Reading about the Yin Yang Reversal Skill, which could transform males to females and vice versa, Xu Qing couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Was this really a skill meant for cultivation?

In traditional martial arts, men aim to subdue the White Tiger and women strive to slay the Red Dragon. But the Yin Yang Reversal Skill starts right off with slaying the White Tiger and nurturing the Cyan Dragon.

Men slay the White Tiger, women nurture the Cyan Dragon.

Xu Qing grimaced, decisively shoving this manual to the bottom of the box to gather dust.

After wrapping up everything, Xu Qing looked at the pile of corpses in the courtyard.

After a moment of thought, he chose not to place these corpses into the Box Garden but buried them all around the Yin Locust Tree instead.

The Yin Locust Tree served as his Substitute Stake, essentially his second life, so he had to ensure it was well taken care of.

Locust trees naturally thrived in Yin conditions, and the Yin Locust even more so.

With these corpses to nourish and gather negative energy, it wouldn’t be long before this Yin Locust Tree would be flourishing again.

After completing all this, Xu Qing returned to his bedroom, used his Wall-Climbing Skill to avoid various traps and mechanisms, and reached the bedside.

Beside the bed, a coffin lay quietly.

Xu Qing sat in meditation on the bed for a night. At dawn, he placed the Yin Pearl formed from Old Cat Evil under his tongue, then turned and lay in the coffin filled with Ghost-faced Soil.

Outside the coffin, a puppet closed the lid for him, then embedded a pitch-black Yin Ghost Jade into the center slot of the lid.

A foot of the coffin inside was filled with the body’s rest place, with another foot each at the top and bottom filled with Ghost-faced Soil. Shortly after Xu Qing entered the coffin, he fell into a deep sleep.

On the coffin lid, under the nurturing influence of the Yin Ghost Jade, it emitted a visible dark green glow, tightly enveloping the coffin.
