The Corpse Driver of Western Hunan: My profession panel has no upper limit.

hiss!

Lu Jin gasped, his blood and energy surging wildly as he grabbed the King Serpent's body and moved with incredible speed, completely ignoring the demonic sounds coming from behind him.

As the saying goes, it's better to hear a demon cry than to hear it laugh.

Not to mention the red-clothed evil spirit, Lu Jin did not think that his strength as a Ming Jin Da Cheng martial artist was enough to fight against it.

Before the evil spirit could harm him, he turned and ran. A moment later, Lu Jin realized that the chilling laughter beside him had stopped, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he did not stop there. He fled directly to the foot of Huangquan Mountain and even caught a glimpse of Lin Tianzheng before finally calming his mind.

"Ghosts and monsters, this is truly a world that eats people."

Lu Jin was panting heavily, his brows furrowed. He had originally thought that after breaking through to the Ming Jin Martial Master level, he would be able to protect himself in this world.

But now it seems...

"I'm still too weak."

Carrying the body of the king cobra on his shoulder, Lu Jin clenched his fists. He didn't like this insecure life.

He was used to having everything under his own control.

"I'll remember you."

The image of the red-clad ghost turning back to smile at him flashed through Lu Jin's mind, and a murderous intent gleamed in his eyes.

Once he has enough strength, he will tear that red-clothed ghost to pieces as soon as possible.

Having been here for so long, Lu Jin had never suffered such a great injustice. The 360-degree turn of his head really had a significant impact on him.

Can Lu Jin endure this injustice?

Before I died, I was bullied. Now that I'm dead, am I still being bullied?

Coming to his senses, Lu Jin carried the corpse of the demon king snake toward Lin Tianzheng. When they were about a hundred meters apart, Lin Tianzheng heard the noise and suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed to rest.

Upon seeing Lu Jin's figure, Lin Tian secretly praised, "This kid really didn't disappoint me."

The fact that Lu Jin was the first to return meant that he had completed all the procedures and chosen Lu Jin to inherit his mantle. Xiong Yan's patriarch father couldn't say anything about it.

Just a moment later, Lin Tianzheng noticed the king serpent on Lu Jin's shoulder, which resembled a black dragon, and his strength involuntarily leaked out.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered into pieces, and his eyes immediately widened like copper bells.

"Ah Lu...you...you killed him?"

"Yes, Master Lin, I almost died." Lu Jin was still a little shaken. "Shortly after entering the deep mountains, we encountered this king snake that had become a spirit. It took a lot of effort to kill it."

Lin Tianzheng glanced at the shattered head of the King Serpent, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He naturally didn't believe Lu Jin's words.

If it had been difficult, Lu Jin would have been completely unharmed, with only a slight stain on the hem of his clothes. Clearly, killing this demon-like king snake was effortless for Lu Jin.

To accomplish all this, Lu Jin's initial level of Ming Jin strength was simply insufficient, leaving only one possibility.

Lu Jin's strength has increased again.

"monster!"

Lin Tianzheng's heart was filled with turbulent waves. His eyes were fixed on Lu Jin. He felt that Lu Jin was a hidden dragon, and his future achievements would be immeasurable.

"It is indeed dangerous. A king cobra that has become a spirit is incredibly powerful. My problem is that I didn't expect you to be so unlucky as to encounter a king cobra that has become a spirit on your first trip into the mountains."

"more than."

Lu Jin recounted his encounter with the red-clad ghost, which immediately caused Lin Tianzheng to frown and his tone to become somewhat indifferent.

"The red-clad bride, the rumors are actually true. Ah Lu, you're coming with me to see the High Priest first thing tomorrow morning."

Seeing Lin Tianzheng's expression, Lu Jin quickly pressed for details.

"The legend of the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan has been circulating in our Miao village for a long time, but no one has ever seen them. However, because people often go missing in our Miao village, everyone thinks it is true."

"I've been driving corpses for so many years and have seen many evil spirits, but I've never encountered the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan."

"The four ghosts of Xiangxi are the Red-Clothed Bride, the Faceless Yama, the Red-Haired Rakshasa, and the Thousand-Transformation Ghost Child. The Red-Clothed Bride is said to have suffered heartbreak and humiliation in her life, and died with resentment. She turned into a vengeful ghost and loves to guide men to her burial place in their dreams. Then, on the night of the full moon, she will absorb the men's life essence to cultivate herself."

"The Faceless Yama likes to eat people, the Red-Haired Rakshasa likes to torture people to death, and the Thousand-Transformation Ghost Child is infinitely versatile and especially likes to kill people by transforming into the appearance of a child."

"Besides that, there is also the legendary Ghost King of Western Hunan. It is said that when the Ghost King appears, Western Hunan will be devastated."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow: "So you mean I'm being targeted by that bride in red?"

"It's hard to say, so I'm asking you to see the High Priest tomorrow. The High Priest is an expert in Qimen Dunjia and Feng Shui, and he can help you investigate."

"Furthermore, you don't need to panic too much. After meeting the High Priest tomorrow, I will teach you the true martial arts. Once you officially embark on the path of martial arts, a martial artist's blood and energy will be as bright as the sun. With enough strength, even ghosts and monsters can be suppressed."

"Then I'm relieved."

Lu Jin nodded. So ghosts and monsters also have health bars. He was afraid that these so-called Four Ghosts of Xiangxi didn't have health bars.

That's what you call difficult.

"On the night of the full moon..."

Looking up at the starry sky, Lu Jin noticed that the moon was almost completely round. Regardless of whether he was being targeted, what Lu Jin needed to do was to quickly improve his strength.

"Why hasn't Xiong Yan returned yet?" Lin Tianzheng frowned. "Have you seen Xiong Yan?"

"I saw it when we went into the mountains together." Lu Jin said without changing his expression.

Lin Tianzheng had a bad feeling. He looked at the king snake in Lu Jin's hand and said speechlessly, "It would take too many medicinal herbs to brew such a big king snake into spirit snake wine. I don't have the conditions to brew it. I'll give you 30 silver dollars or a jar of ten-year-old spirit snake wine in exchange."

"I left it to others to handle. Those high-ranking officials and nobles quite like to eat the meat of the king cobra that has become a spirit."

"Master Lin, I'll trade you the corpse of the weasel spirit."

Lin Tianzheng was speechless for a moment. He would actually be at a disadvantage if he traded the corpse of the weasel spirit, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Lu Jin was about to receive his inheritance anyway.

He readily agreed to give Lu Jin all the rare spirit snake wine he had, then waved his hand, signaling Lu Jin to go back and rest first, as he was going into the mountains to search for Xiong Yan.

"it is good."

Lu Jin sneered inwardly.

They could find Lu Jin's name written backwards. All traces of him had been destroyed, and Xiong Yan's corpse had been rotted into bones by the venom of the king cobra.

Lu Jin always acts decisively and resolutely, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly.

If he weren't lacking in strength, he would have wanted to kill Xiong Yan's father under the cover of night, after all, according to Lu Jin's reasoning.

Even without evidence, Xiong Yan's father would definitely blame himself for Xiong Yan's death. Although he couldn't do it openly, he would definitely resort to underhanded tricks.

"They still lack the strength."

Lu Jin sighed inwardly, carrying the corpse of the King Serpent, his desire for strength rising once more.

If he has the strength, he will subdue that red-clothed ghost today and reunite the Xiong Yan family.

A short while later, Lu Jin returned to his cramped village, disposed of the king cobra's corpse, and took a bath in the cool well water.

Staring at the King Serpent's corpse, which looked like a puddle of mud, Lu Jin's eyes gleamed. His Corpse Driver skill panel had been upgraded to LV3, and looting the corpse would bind another good item.

The weasel spirit gave Swift Steps last time, so perhaps it can gain a lot from the King Serpent this time as well.

"Tomb Raiders, activate!"

As Lu Jin's hands danced across the body of the king cobra, several lines of text appeared in front of his retina, indicating that his professional experience was rapidly increasing.

Until one word appeared—

[You've been granted immunity to all poisons. Shall we bind our account?]

Lu Jin pondered for a second, but without any hesitation, he realized that in this world dominated by ghosts and monsters, increasing his magic resistance was indeed a good choice.

"Yes."

A flash of white light streaked across the screen, and the words flickered silently.

[Immune to all poisons: Immune to all toxins in the world!]
