Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"No movement."

"I must have been stimulated by something before, which is why I could feel it."

Wuming squinted, carefully sensed it, and then spoke to Jingming.

"Didn't you move?"

Upon hearing Wuming's words, Jingming blinked in surprise.

He thought something might have happened in the next couple of days, after all, it had taken them a whole day to get from the border of Hunan and Jiangxi to Guangdong.

"In that case, let's eat something and rest for a bit."

"I don't remember such things."

Jingming pointed to a teahouse not far away.

The Thirteen Factories of Guangdong were indeed bustling with activity.

"Yes, there are bound to be variables in these kinds of things."

Wuming nodded and then followed Jingming into a teahouse.

"Sir, almost all of our men died inside."

In a small fishing village by the sea, several people covered in blood knelt on the ground and spoke to a young scholar.

This scholar was the same scholar who had stood before Yuan Shikai earlier.

After finding the whereabouts of the Qin corpse, he came here in person.

To ensure he could obtain the Qin corpse, he also sought out a friend.

“Brother Wu, back then, in order to prevent the Qin corpse from appearing in the world easily, the ancestors not only set up a strange formation at the burial site, but also traps, hidden weapons, poisonous insects and poisons.”

"Our sect has some inheritance of Qimen Dunjia. As for mechanisms and hidden weapons, I have found several skilled craftsmen from Tiangongtang."

"As for this poisonous insect, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wu."

The scholar bowed to the man as he spoke.

The "Brother Wu" mentioned by the scholar was none other than Jingming's nominal master, Wu Wei, the president of the Medicine Immortal Society.

"That's easy to say."

"After you get this Qin corpse, just give me what I need."

Wu Wei grinned, put down his teacup, and said to the scholar.

Wu Wei didn't care about the mechanisms and treasures; what he wanted was the Qin corpse.

Regardless of the true identity of this Qin corpse, we must have it!

"nature."

"I only need the Qi inside this Qin corpse's body."

"From now on, this Qin corpse will naturally belong to Brother Wu."

"The rest, some treasures will be distributed to the members of the Heavenly Craft Hall."

The scholar nodded, then waved to his kneeling subordinates.

"Go and write down and draw everything you see and hear down there."

"Then go and collect your reward."

After the scholar finished speaking, he turned his gaze away from the group of people.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing the scholar's words, the men's faces lit up with joy.

They work so hard, isn't it all for money?

"You're quite generous. If it were me, I would have killed them all to avoid any trouble caused by leaks."

Wu Wei glanced at the scholar sitting next to him and said with narrowed eyes.

"Killing sometimes doesn't solve problems effectively; on the contrary, it can make things even more uncontrollable."

"I will not kill unless absolutely necessary, especially not someone who follows me."

The scholar smiled and then took a sip of tea.

When will Tiangongtang arrive?

Wu Wei smiled. He was just mentioning it casually; there was no need to interfere excessively in other people's affairs.

As for whether he will receive the corresponding compensation, he thinks he will.

"In three days."

“The people from Tiangongtang were the last to notify us.”

"Furthermore, they will need to prepare some tools and equipment to break the mechanisms once they go down, so they will naturally arrive a little later."

"If Brother Wu is interested, you can come with me to that feng shui site to take a look."

The scholar smiled at Wu Wei and then gestured for him to enter.

"Okay."

Upon hearing the scholar's request, Wu Wei smiled slightly and nodded.

It should only take about three days, just wait a little longer.

Before that, he could also explore the place where the Qin corpse was buried.

With their speed, the two of them quickly arrived at the hill where Qin's corpse was buried.

Below that mountain is a Qimen Dunjia formation arranged according to the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and Seven Stars.

Standing there, even the moonlight seemed exceptionally refined.

"I think this is like raising corpses."

Wu Wei stood at the center of the Qi formation, squinting as he felt the moonlight shining on him like sunlight.

“But it’s not like that down there; there’s almost no Qi in there.”

"Even someone who has mastered Qi will be suppressed when they go down there."

Upon hearing Wu Wei's words, the scholar shook his head slightly and spoke directly.

"Oh?"

"An interesting Qi configuration."

"Is it to better suppress that Qin corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wei narrowed his eyes, and then a phantom figure emerged from Wu Wei's body.

"This is?"

Seeing the changes in Wu Wei, the scholar couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

“This is my clone; you can send him down to check the situation.”

Wu Wei nodded to the scholar, and then his clone walked directly into the passage that had been opened up.

"I never expected to see my master here."

At the top of the hill, Jingming looked down at the two people below with a single-lens telescope he had bought from the merchant's shop.

The scholar and Wu Wei.

At this distance, even Jingming couldn't sense anyone else, let alone Wu Weiwei.

At his peak, he would feel like he was being spied on.

However, in those years of war and famine, there were many wandering ghosts and spirits. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that humans and ghosts mingled together, and it was normal for them to spy on each other.

"The corpse you sensed should be down there."

"I wonder whose corpse it is, that you can sense it even from thousands of miles away."

Jingming put away his telescope, lay down on the grass in the mountain forest, and said to Wuming.

"You'll know when you see it, won't you?"

"However, I feel that the corpse has probably developed intelligence, or even become a spirit."

Wu Wei, on the other hand, had already been lying on the ground, feeling the temperature of the earth and rocks.

Among the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Wu chose the three trigrams Gen, Kan, and Kun of the Earth element in order to better understand the relationship between himself and the earth.

Humans follow the Earth, the Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature. This is not just a simple saying.

"You should be able to burrow underground, right?"

Jingming turned to look at Wuming beside him and said in a low voice.

"I'm a zombie, not a groundhog, so how could I possibly burrow underground?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Wuming rolled his eyes at Jingming.

"Perhaps if you find a place with earth-moving and earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique), I can burrow underground."
