I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

The woman known as "Labor Number Two" was still a little dazed, forced to stand in front of Ye Yan, her face full of reluctance.

But she could feel the unfathomable power within Ye Yan's body, and the suppression from the soul level forced her to bow her head and submit.

Ye Yan looked her over; she was fair-skinned and delicate, with exquisite features—a beauty in the making.

To a normal person, he looks terrifying, with bared teeth, and is extremely ferocious. As for the bear, he's not bad either, since the way he died in the original story was simple: he fell off a cliff.

With a thought, the information from the [Same Wear Panel] appeared in his mind: After binding with a destined person, there should be a loyalty attribute bonus.

But he could clearly sense that this woman... had feelings for him?

"Oh no, could I be a zombie succubus?"

Ye Yan understood instantly.

He has the succubus attributes of Ye Yan from Naruto combined—his face is excessively handsome, his body is strong and powerful, and with his innate talent, he looks exactly like the male protagonist who stepped out of a light novel romance novel just by standing there.

No wonder this woman was attracted to him.

What alarmed him even more was that his mental state was becoming increasingly absurd. From an ordinary "fun person" working at an internet company in his previous life, to a "god-like person," and now to this state... he suddenly understood that the human species really does have its limits.

He figured it out.

He's no longer human.

Humans ultimately have their limits.

To be precise, he is not human.

Since pursuing strength won't be delayed, wouldn't it be perfect to improve while cultivating both skills?

Besides, his physique is naturally suited to this path.

Without further hesitation, Ye Yan pulled the second laborer over and kissed him directly. The other party was completely dumbfounded. Don't misunderstand, it's not that Ye Yan has a fetish for female corpses, but that he is a newbie in the beginner village of exploring the power system on his own.

But Ye Yan didn't expect that the other party would stick out their tongue.

"Huang Cuicui, take the little zombie out. He's just a child," Ye Yan ordered without turning his head.

Huang Cuicui: "Has Daoist Master finally lost control? Kids, don't watch."

She reached out to block the little zombie's curious gaze and tactfully pulled the little guy away, though the little zombie tried to resist.

Before leaving, he turned back and teased, "Taoist Master, take it easy, don't push yourself too hard."

It's almost dawn.

After tasting it, Ye Yan began to think about abstaining from sex again.

Ye Yan sat cross-legged, his Yin body circulating like an abyss, the Yin energy descending from the void, merging with him, and exhaling its essence.

The vampire's corpse energy entering his body unexpectedly became an aid, subtly increasing his cultivation speed, but it was still not enough.

He shook his head. Not enough!

He shook his head. The shortcut was ultimately missing a step. It seemed he had no choice but to try his luck in Tengteng Town and Coffin Mountain.

"David, take Lucy north to scout ahead. Go, Luffy, the Pirate King!"

Ye Yan waved his hand to give the order. Bats flapped their wings, carrying two figures into the night.

Lucy lay limply on his back, completely drained, just skin and bones, a veritable dried-up corpse.

As dawn broke, a man, a weasel, and a corpse returned to the town.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, as if preparing for some exciting event.

Uncle Nine was a hardworking and responsible man who devoted most of his life to the affairs of the mortuary.

He was traditional and conservative, clinging to old habits and unwilling to easily reform the charitable estate. Only after being persuaded by his disciple Ye Yan did he accept moving into the villa, reflecting his stubbornness and attachment to the past.

At the same time, he is self-disciplined and cultivates himself, practicing Tai Chi in the morning and integrating Taoist principles, emphasizing health preservation and spiritual practice, which reflects his perseverance and self-control.

He values ​​loyalty and cherishes the teacher-student relationship. Under the influence of his disciples, he can adapt to changes, but he still retains the traditional resilience and persistence in his bones.

Besides Michelle, the iconic scene in "Mr. Zombie" (also known as "The Red and White Duo") is about his past love from his youth.

Uncle Nine also thought of this and sighed. Even the "Qingxin Jing" (a Buddhist text) could hardly suppress these distracting thoughts. People always have deep-seated thoughts in their hearts that are hard to forget.

He looked up and saw Ye Yan standing with his hands behind his back, perched atop a bat, exuding an invincible aura.

"What are you up to now?"

"Since a headwind came, I have been able to withstand winds from all directions and sail my boat."

Speak like a human.

Uncle Nine had become somewhat accustomed to Ye Yan's behavior; he knew that his disciple's brain circuits were not normal.

"Master, something big is coming! Did you see that church open? They're giving out eggs and rice. All the townspeople went to collect them. Let's go take a look."

"church?"

This location is about 100 meters from the town, and the mortuary is also some distance away from the town. It's not like the original Jiuquan Town was located near Uncle Jiu, after all, this is a merged universe.

"Zombies?"

He saw that Ye Yan's body was shining brightly, and wasn't that golden color the power of merit?

Where did you go last night?

"I went to sleep with someone last night, oh wait, no. It was a foreign girl."

Uncle Nine: "?"

Uncle Jiu remembered something and understood. He had gone to cultivate his feelings at night again. He touched Ye Yan's body and body and smelled an unusual scent, but it was definitely not from the locals. It was at least from out of town.

"You smell like a female zombie?" Uncle Nine said sharply.

Ye Yan didn't hide anything and spoke the whole story in a very long and detailed manner. Apart from the Demon Slayer plan, Ye Yan only went around to kill two vampires from other places.

During the Republican era, the Qing Dynasty had been overthrown, but missionaries continued to arrive in droves, and foreign faces were not uncommon in this small town.

After listening to Ye Yan's explanation, Uncle Jiu remained silent for a long time before slowly raising his thumb—this disciple's cultivation far surpasses that of ordinary people. Although his methods for exterminating vengeful ghosts are outrageous and unheard of, his cultivation level is genuine.

Having lived most of his life, this was the first time he couldn't understand a young man's methods, yet these methods actually worked.

The golden merit and faith power on his body, as well as the baleful aura on him, were pitifully small.

His Yin energy was especially extraordinary, comparable to that of a regular ghost. However, Ye Yan's cultivation method was not a proper one; his power was simply immense.

Simply put, the left hand deals high damage, the right hand deals high damage, and the middle hand is extremely domineering, striking straight at the heart of the enemy.

Ye Yan recounted the entire story of what happened at the church, and Uncle Jiu's expression after listening was priceless.

"So, there's an even more ferocious zombie in this town, suppressed by a cross?"

Uncle Nine's eyes darted around, and he began to have some doubts.

The church looked dilapidated and uninhabited, but who would have thought that it harbored an intelligent Western vampire, even more terrifying than the one Ye Yan had dealt with?

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die." Uncle Nine made a decisive decision. "Junior brother, Ye Yan, Huang Xian, attack together. Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, you two come too."

Si Mu had just gotten up when he heard Ye Yan's words. He immediately perked up and dragged Qiu Shengwen over.

He pulled two ancient books from his robes and shoved them into Ye Yan's hands: "Little Yan, I can't let you call me 'Uncle' for nothing. This is 'The Corpse Refining Method,' and this is 'The True Explanation of Taiyin Corpse Refining,' which is especially suitable for you. I see you absorbing Taiyin energy every morning, so you're not exactly a zombie... Hey? How come your merit power has increased again? Good, you're secretly doing charity again. You really make me happy."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. It was just a fluke." Ye Yan touched his nose, smiled modestly, but it was more of a wry smile than a genuine one.

Seeing this, Si Mu sighed inwardly: A demon from beyond the heavens has arrived at Maoshan. He cultivates as easily as drinking water, has a strong physique, handsome appearance, and is also full of righteousness.

Uncle Nine took the lead, flipping a bronze compass from his palm, its pointer trembling like a dragon's roar.

He carried a peach wood sword on his back, which was three feet and seven inches long and covered with thunder patterns. It was made from the heartwood of a hundred-year-old jujube tree and engraved with the four characters "Imperial Decree to Suppress Evil." He was dressed in a Taoist robe.

Four eyes carry a soul-summoning banner on their shoulders. The banner is black with gold patterns and moves even without wind. Seven copper coins from the Five Emperors hang from their waists, strung together to form a ritual rope. With a gentle shake, the sound of chains can be heard.

There is also a pair of soul-capturing bells, made of dark bronze, with Sanskrit mantras engraved on the clappers.

Ye Yan held "The True Explanation of Taiyin Corpse Refining" in his left hand. The pages were yellowed but turned automatically without any wind. He flipped through the entire book.

The learning process has been completed automatically.

He held a "Qiankun Ring" in his right hand, which had two sides, Yin and Yang. The Yang side was warm and smooth like jade, while the Yin side was cold and icy like black ice. He also held a talisman on his right side and carried the cross of the foreign laborers from David No. 1 on his back.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai each held a stack of talismans, with a Bagua mirror hanging in front of their chests and a corpse-binding rope wrapped around their waists.

The five people exchanged glances.

"Walk."

"Eliminate zombies."

With a creak, the gates of the mortuary opened wide, and the morning light pierced through the gloom.

The final competition has begun.
