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

"Squeak squeak squeak".

The Mountain-Moving Taoist's secret treasure, the Mountain-Dividing Digging Armor, kept making sounds, making Lu Jin both excited and nervous. His first time going down into a tomb was quite a unique experience.

"This young man will be following behind us."

Upon hearing Chang Ping's words, Lu Jin nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, I appreciate your help."

"It's nothing, we each get what we need." Chang Ping waved his hand. In their line of work, they might suddenly die in their graves one day. Many of their predecessors have disappeared.

To date, the body has not been found and buried.

Making Lu Jin, the corpse driver, owe him a favor, even if it doesn't guarantee that his own body will be able to return to its homeland in the future, is still better than doing nothing.

A moment later, the tunnel dug by the Mountain Digger A grew larger and larger, soon large enough to accommodate a person. When the Mountain Digger A emerged from the tunnel, it meant that they had reached the underground palace.

Chang Ping retrieved it and put it in his backpack. He then took a tinderbox from his waist, lit it, and threw it in. The narrow tunnel flickered with light.

Seeing this, Chang Ping also crawled into the tomb without saying a word, followed closely by their junior sister Lin Hanguang. Xu Yeqing slowly said, "Brother Lu, go in. I'll cover the rear."

Without much hesitation, Lu Jin took a deep breath and crawled into the tunnel. The brown soil kept falling onto his face, which was slightly pungent.

After about ten minutes, having crawled down an unknown number of meters, they saw the entrance to the tomb chamber, its entire surface carved with imposing and majestic patterns, cast from cold iron.

Xu Yeqing lit a tinderbox to illuminate the tomb, glanced at the epitaph, and said frankly, "The tomb of a Ming Dynasty general. I never expected that the stone statues would be hidden underground."

Pushing open the tomb chamber door, a creaking sound rang out. Lu Jin saw dust falling everywhere, and before him was a tomb passage several hundred meters long. The floor below was constructed of an unknown material, which was dimly lit and had an eerie aura.

Stone beasts and stone figures are placed beside the tomb passage.

In the tombs of prominent figures of the Ming Dynasty, stone statues were placed along the path leading to the mausoleum. The stone lions were imposing and the stone figures were divided into civil and military categories, each with an extraordinary air.

Especially the stone statue of the general, so powerful and strong, even though it wasn't a living thing, Lu Jin's heart couldn't help but race as he looked at the lifelike eagle eyes.

"A military general who could possess such a tomb must have been extraordinary in life."

Lu Jin's eyes gleamed. He was certain he could obtain a considerable amount of valuable items by using his looting skills on such a corpse.

"Wang Yu, appointed as..."

Chang Ping murmured the epitaph, somewhat surprised, "Senior brother, this is the tomb of a first-rank minister."

"My two senior brothers, look here."

In an instant, Lin Hanguang pointed to a mural with a slightly excited expression. In the mural, there was a man who was eight feet tall holding a round object.

"The Muchen Pearl?" Chang Ping was delighted and quickly glanced at Xu Yeqing.

Lu Jin also saw a hint of excitement in Xu Yeqing's face, and couldn't help but imagine it.

"I wonder what the purpose of the Muchen Pearl is in this era."

The next second, seeing Xu Yeqing and the other two walking towards the coffin of the tomb owner, seemingly preparing to open it, Lu Jin immediately moved his feet and stood behind Xu Yeqing.

He didn't know where was safest in the tomb, but standing behind Xu Yeqing was definitely the right thing to do.

Xu Yeqing was the strongest person among them. He walked and breathed smoothly, and Lu Jin didn't even see his chest rise and fall.

Lu Jin cherished his life very much.

With the panel now in hand, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a powerful figure in this land. All Lu Jin needs to do is work hard and try his best not to let time become a hindrance to his becoming a powerful figure.

If he had a candle on him, Lu Jin would have liked to light one in the southeast corner of the tomb.

"Open the coffin!"

Xu Yeqing spoke calmly. The coffin board, made of special material and carved with patterns, weighed several hundred kilograms, yet Chang Ping squatted down and put his five fingers together.

The Taoist robe on his arm trembled slightly, and then Lu Jin heard a series of air explosions.

Snapped!

Chang Ping pushed the heavy coffin lid open by more than half with one palm strike, and then withdrew his palm without changing his expression, clearly indicating that Chang Ping had held back his strength.

This sight made Lu Jin's eyes flicker, which further strengthened his resolve to become a strong person.

The coffin lid was pushed open, revealing a remarkably well-preserved, towering male corpse clad in armor. Around him were numerous rare and precious treasures, any one of which could fetch a good price.

However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as Xu Yeqing touched the antique next to the corpse, the entire male corpse began to tremble violently, and the coffin beneath it also seemed to be experiencing an earthquake.

At that moment, Xu Yeqing's expression changed drastically. He quickly straightened the antiques and said with a sigh of relief, "Don't touch the burial objects. These burial objects have been tampered with; they were used to suppress the corpse."

"Brother Lu, you almost got to see a zombie."

Chang Ping grinned, and Lu Jin immediately took a few steps back, scratching his head. "The world is dangerous; one wrong step and you could die."

"yes."

The handsome Lin Hanguang gripped the sleeves of his wide Taoist robe tightly, and said with lingering fear, "Those of us in this line of work can die at any moment. Brother Lu, if your destiny isn't strong, you should try to find a more respectable profession."

"The dangers faced by corpse-drivers are no less than those faced by us."

"Junior sister." Xu Yeqing glared at Lin Hanguang, then turned back to apologize to Lu Jin, "Don't let my sister shake your resolve."

Lu Jin smiled, nodded, and said no more. He couldn't possibly give up the profession of corpse driver, since his cheat was this profession panel.

Although he didn't know exactly what dangers he would encounter as a corpse transporter, Lu Jin knew—

As long as you are strong enough, nothing can pose a danger to you!

He, Lu Jin, is the greatest danger to those evil foreigners!

Xu Yeqing observed for a while and saw that the male corpse seemed to have something in its mouth. His left arm moved with lightning speed, and the cry of a crane suddenly appeared. His strong and powerful fingers immediately pinched the male corpse's chin.

Immediately afterwards, a smooth and white bead appeared in the tomb chamber, dazzlingly bright, causing Lu Jin to take a few glances involuntarily, while Chang Ping beside him was overjoyed.

"The Muchen Pearl?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse in the coffin aged rapidly, its skin became withered, and a terrifying aura emanated from it. Lu Jin took a few steps back again, and had already retreated to the entrance of the tomb passage.

His muscles were taut all over his body; if anything seemed amiss, he would run away immediately.

He didn't want to die in the mouth of a zongzi before he even grew up.

Fortunately, Xu Yeqing reacted quickly and stuffed the bead back into the male corpse's mouth, saying with lingering fear, "This is a corpse-fixing pill, Brother Lu Jin, you probably can't take this corpse with you."

The moment the Corpse-Fixing Pill was put back in its original position, the huge male corpse immediately returned to calm, and the tomb chamber fell silent again. Seeing that there was not much danger, Lu Jin immediately walked up with a smile.

Seeing the way he walked out of the tomb entrance, Xu Yeqing and the others couldn't help but exchange glances, all thinking that Lu Jin was indeed a talented person.

"It's alright, let me touch the corpse and get its scent."

It doesn't matter if he can't take the corpse with him, as long as he can find an item that can improve his aptitude, then go back and cultivate for a while before coming back to find it.

It's best to upgrade your profession panel before coming back, so you can bind an item again.

Although they were somewhat puzzled by Lu Jin's act of touching the corpse, Xu Yeqing and the others did not refuse, but reminded him, "Be careful not to touch those burial items used to suppress the corpse."

Lu Jin nodded, and with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, he touched the male corpse with his hands. The rich burial goods in front of him were somewhat tempting to Lu Jin.

But a few minutes later, Lu Jin's attention was completely drawn to the words that popped up in front of him.

[Your professional experience increases by 13 for every minute you loot a corpse.]

[You've sensed a natural martial arts bone. Do you wish to bind it?]

"This is it!"

Lu Jin's eyes lit up, and without the slightest hesitation, his thoughts immediately surged.

"Yes, this is it. Bind it immediately, thank you!"

In an instant, Lu Jin felt a warm current surge out of his body, and the introduction about innate martial bones immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Innate Martial Talent: Your aptitude for any martial art has significantly increased]
