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

Lu Jin felt his surging blood and qi, as well as his suddenly increased power, and was overjoyed.

His talent improved once again. Given time, Lu Jin believed he could definitely reach the level of being invincible.

【Power: 21.3→25.4】

Agility: 19.5 → 23.7

[Spirit: 18.9→22.6]

[Willpower: 19.2 → 22.8]

"This upgrade... is impressive!"

Looking at his attributes, Lu Jin couldn't help but roar, feeling incredibly refreshed.

"Thank you so much."

Lu Jin spoke quietly to the red-clad bride's corpse, "To thank you, I've decided to spare your body and leave some ashes for a tombstone."

Once he finds a better corpse, he will definitely destroy the red-clad bride's body. Otherwise, if such an obvious corpse is seen by others, they will know that he took the feng shui-enhancing flesh and blood lingzhi.

Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes.

After washing up a bit, Lu Jin felt his mind was incredibly clear, as if he could enter a state of complete focus at any moment.

Suddenly, Lu Jin remembered the ambidextrous fighting technique from a martial arts novel he had read in his previous life.

"I possess a brilliant mind, capable of multitasking at any time. What if I could use both hands simultaneously, practicing Tai Chi with my left hand and Bajiquan with my right?"

Without hesitation, Lu Jin tried to draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other, and he mastered it with ease.

Draw however you want.

"It seems to actually work."

Lu Jin immediately adopted the Bajiquan stance with his right arm and the Taiji Banlan Chui stance with his left hand, multitasking with his mind.

Just as Lu Jin had expected, two kinds of fist intent quietly bloomed in his hands. Under the sunlight, two streams of bright energy were released at the same time, and a terrifying explosion immediately rang out in the air.

This discovery delighted Lu Jin. Once he improved his proficiency in Tai Chi, he would no longer be fighting alone.

It's not just one version of yourself that knows Bajiquan, but another version that knows Taijiquan.

Truly invincible in the same realm!

"His comprehension and talent will improve again, and it shouldn't take too long."

Just as Lu Jin locked the door and was about to head to Lin Tianzheng's village, a frail, old voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Ah Lu is home."

"Oh, it's Granny Sun. What's up?"

Lu Jin looked back and saw that it was his nearest neighbor, Granny Sun, who was nearly 70 years old. Her son and daughter-in-law, like Lu Jin's parents in his previous life, went to the county town to do business, offended someone, and died a violent death, leaving behind a grandson for Granny Sun to raise.

In this day and age, human life is worthless.

Their Miao village didn't have any Grandmasters of Transformation Force; the strongest among them was only at the Dark Force level. The others didn't care about their Miao village's protests at all.

"I'll bring you some food, Lu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Sun offered Lu Jin a few pieces of cured meat and a few pieces of cured fish with trembling hands, which Lu Jin quickly refused.

Although he didn't consider himself a good person, he wasn't that bad either, and now that he was following Lin Tianzheng, he wasn't lacking in food.

"No need, Grandma Sun, take it back yourself. If there's anything I can help with, I will definitely do so."

"No, that's not it. I just wanted to ask you, Lu, when are you going to go out and transport corpses?" Granny Sun's face was full of melancholy.

"The warlords have increased the tax on our Miao village by 20%, and the Miao village doesn't have that much money anymore. Every household needs to contribute more money."

At this point, Grandma Sun's voice choked with emotion. Her family was already poor and only survived thanks to the help of the Miao people in the village.

Like Lu Jin, whose parents died early, he was raised by a family in the Miao village and held some important positions in the Miao village.

Corpse drivers, high priests, witch doctors, and so on all try to make money for the Miao village as a whole. Besides making their own lives better, the main goal is to contribute the lion's share of the warlord's taxes, thereby reducing the burden on ordinary Miao villagers.

This is one of the reasons why these professions are so beloved in Miao villages. People will bring over extra food from their homes, or newly sewn clothes, etc.

Lu Jin became a corpse driver, and this responsibility fell on his shoulders.

"It will be soon, Grandma Sun, don't worry, I will help you and the Miao village with the tax collection."

Upon hearing Lu Jin's words, Granny Sun tried to force the food onto him, but Lu Jin quickly refused and finally left with a hunched back.

Watching Granny Sun's retreating figure, Lu Jin frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.

It's not that he's unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of being a corpse driver in a Miao village, but rather that the world shouldn't be like this.

At the very least, people should be given food to eat, but warlords are brutal and don't care about the lives of their people. If they don't pay taxes, they'll just bring in guns and cannons.

In Lu Jin's opinion, this tax should not be paid in the first place.

Warlords should never exist!

"Hmph, strength... I still need stronger strength. If I were a Grandmaster of Internal Energy right now, what could a small warlord do to me if I didn't pay taxes to him?"

Lu Jin adjusted his mood and nodded to himself as he looked at the rooster that he had fed and that was still lively and energetic.

Before long, he arrived at Lin Tianzheng's village. As soon as he appeared, many people surrounded him and asked him when he would be going out to transport corpses.

"Your strength isn't enough. It would be dangerous for your senior brother to go out and transport corpses."

"It's alright, senior brother, I have a jar of spirit snake wine at home, I'll bring it over to you in a bit!" A young man patted his chest, and his words caused quite a stir.

People began offering to help Lu Jin, as long as they could.

"Kid, most people in the Miao village are still good."

Upon entering the inner hall and hearing Lin Tianzheng's words, Lu Jin smiled and nodded, "I felt it."

"You know Jiang Feng, the disciple of the High Priest. He has already gone out to travel the world, telling fortunes and arranging feng shui for wealthy families to find auspicious burial sites after death."

"And that witch doctor's disciple has gone out to cast spells on people, making money for the Miao village while also looking for opportunities, all in preparation for the next clan leader selection."

"However, their danger level is much lower than yours."

"Yes, I know, Master. I will become stronger."

"I'm just reminding you to tone down your temper when you go out into the world. With your personality, you're definitely the type to take revenge without holding back, as long as you have the ability."

"Then you're wrong, Master."

Lin Tian's expression hardened, and Lu Jin's expression became solemn. "If the strength and timing are both sufficient, revenge will not be delayed by three seconds."

They also stayed overnight.

Lu Jin has offended him and still wants to escape?

He had both the strength and the opportunity; he would have been killed on the spot. He couldn't stand that humiliation.

Before he died, he would tolerate being bullied, but now that he's dead, he can't stand it anymore. Once he's strong enough, he'll kill them, no matter who they are.

"You little rascal." Lin Tianzheng chuckled. After spending these days together, he now truly regarded Lu Jin as half a son.

He then closed the inner door and took out an exquisite box, but the marks on it indicated that it had been there for many years.

The box was pushed open, and a scroll quietly appeared, with mountains and rivers in sight, and below was a surging sea. The terrifying aura immediately entered Lu Jin's mind.

"This is the Mountain Moving and Sea Suppressing Map, one of the true martial arts inheritances. It requires martial artists to have strong spirit, energy, and willpower to view and learn it."

"This is also the necessary path for you to achieve harmony of mind and will. Observe this diagram, align your mind and will, and after understanding it, you can enter the stage of harmony of mind and will further enhance your strength!"

"You should first consume this Blood Spirit and Flesh Mushroom medicinal soup."

Upon seeing the medicine being handed to him, Lu Jin immediately drank it down. In an instant, he could clearly feel a warm current rising within his body, and as his heart pounded, the effects of the medicine spread throughout his entire body.

The various hidden injuries in his body were also being rapidly repaired, making his body full of energy. Lu Jin spent some time digesting the terrifying medicinal power.

The bones and muscles made a popping sound like popping beans.

"Crackling and popping!"

This feeling of every second made Lu Jin groan involuntarily. Checking the panel again, he found that his attributes had improved once more.

Everything rose by 2.7!

It truly deserves to be called a once-in-a-century medicine for prolonging life.

"Master, that's enough."

Seeing that Lu Jin was full of energy, Lin Tian's eyes lit up and he continued, "Keep your heart focused and listen carefully to the meaning of this visualization diagram."

"Don't push yourself. With your talent, you'll get a feel for it after a few more tries..."

Before Lin Tianzheng finished speaking, he saw that Lu Jin had already entered a meditative state, his eyes fixed on the Mountain Moving and Sea Suppressing Map, and his energy and spirit were significantly increasing.

"Damn it, this kid's...comprehension has improved again? Could this kid be a celestial being reincarnated?"
