My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

He even brought the remaining members of the Mo family from the mainland to the academy. With the materials, they could mass-produce the blueprints designed by Qi Yu.

As for raw materials, Qi Yu also plans to negotiate with the Lulutong Chamber of Commerce. After all, it is a large chamber of commerce and it is impossible for it to be without iron ore and some rare metals.

Taoism was undoubtedly an important client of the Lulutong Trading Company. In addition to making money from raw materials, the Lulutong Trading Company could also collect an extra channel fee.

This is undoubtedly making money while lying down, and they can't possibly let it go.

Therefore, Qi Yu was adamant that he could only give 30%.

Anyway, there are plenty of people who want a taste of this soup, so it doesn't matter if Zhao Ya is one more.

Chapter 84 If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move

With the negotiations with Zhao Ya concluded, Qi Yu began to deal with the backlog of tasks.

Qin Xiu went into seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster level. Before he comes out of seclusion, I will have to be his tool for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Qi Yu planned to first make contact with the sealed Corpse God.

After making preparations, Qi Yu took out the Heavenly Dao Sword and entered its subspace.

The subspace of the Heavenly Sword is not an empty lake as described in the Book of Sages.

Within the subspace of the Heavenly Sword lies a lush plain, lush with vegetation.

But on this plain, there stands a bare, black mountain, and this is the place where the Corpse God is sealed.

Qi Yu walked up to the mountain peak, but before he even touched it, an overwhelming feeling of nausea welled up inside him.

This is the Corpse God who has grown to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Even after being sealed for more than two thousand years, it still retains such powerful evil energy.

Even though it was disgusting, he had to endure it. He reached out and pulled out the withered tree hairpin from his head, then waved it at the black mountain peak. The mountain peak immediately split open, revealing a cave.

The wooden hairpin is a sacred relic left by the Dao Ancestor. Although it did not become a sacred relic like the Heavenly Dao Sword, it is, like the Heavenly Dao Sword, a symbol of the sect leader.

Only this one wooden hairpin can open this mountain peak.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the nausea intensified, and sweat even began to trickle down my back.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mindset, Qi Yu entered the cave.

The cave walls were all black. After passing through the passageway, they arrived at the mountain's interior, where Qi Yu finally saw the sealed Corpse God.

That was a corpse god that had completely transformed into human form, indistinguishable from a human.

Before Qi Yu was a high altar platform, upon which lay the corpse of a young man, bound by chains extending from the ground, his body covered with markings.

It was indeed a corpse, because the hemp clothing on its body showed no signs of life and it did not resemble a living person at all.

The young man was very handsome, with very clear and distinct facial features, and his long, dark green hair trailed on the ground.

Qi Yu walked up to the altar, and the closer he got, the more nauseous he felt, a chill spreading throughout his body.

When Qi Yu stepped onto the altar and stood a zhang away from the Corpse God, the iron chains trembled and made a crisp clanging sound.

The Corpse God slowly opened his eyes. His blood-red pupils were calm and still, and his gaze toward Qi Yu was very indifferent, even somewhat aloof.

This was very different from the way the other corpse gods looked at him.

"Are you the current head coach?"

The Corpse God's hoarse voice echoed in the cave, and Qi Yu couldn't help but shudder.

Sometimes, having a very accurate intuition isn't necessarily a good thing, like right now.

Tell him directly that he should leave now and not have any contact with it.

"I am the thirty-seventh head coach!" Qi Yu replied.

The Corpse God's blood-red eyes reflected Qi Yu's figure, but there was no desire in them; he did not want to eat Qi Yu.

"You came to see me not simply to satisfy your curiosity, but to meet me, right?" The Corpse God stood up and looked directly at Qi Yu.

"You're right, I do have something to discuss with you!" Qi Yu replied honestly.

The Corpse God's red eyes glowed slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on his previously expressionless face. Although it was faint, he was indeed smiling.

"You're interesting, but I don't want to help you!"

Qi Yu felt as if he had been seen through by the Corpse God's blood-red eyes.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Qi Yu asked, frowning.

The Corpse God did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.

This corpse god can read minds!

Qi Yu fell silent, and after a long while looked at the Corpse God, "You know what I'm thinking, so I won't beat around the bush. Help me, and you can get out of here."

"It doesn't matter if you don't help me. I'll just take the risk and kill one of your clones myself!"

The Corpse God's pale lips curled slightly, as if mocking Qi Yu.

"If you really had the courage to dismember a corpse, you wouldn't have come here. You're afraid, aren't you?"

Qi Yu lowered his head and fell silent, just as the Corpse God had said, he was afraid.

The act of severing one's own desires is about cutting off one's own desires. He is unsure whether he can maintain his original personality after severing them.

Su Yun and Lin Ruoxi, to varying degrees, were both affected by the Corpse Slayer, resulting in changes in their personalities.

“Let’s make a deal!” said the Corpse God.

"What deal?" Qi Yu looked up in confusion.

"Release me, and we'll have a fight. If you win, I'll listen to you; if you lose, you'll listen to me! Win or lose, I'll merge with you, how about it?" the Corpse God laughed.

Qi Yu looked at the Corpse God indifferently and said calmly, "Are you dreaming?"

The Corpse God's purpose and idea were actually very simple: he just wanted to have sex with her.

"Don't think I can't see it. You're actually at your limit. In this subspace, you can't absorb any negative energy at all. Your strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be."

"Actually, you are very weak right now. The other clone launched the beast tide, actually to save you. Am I right?"

The Corpse God saw right through me the moment I entered, and every word he said hit the nail on the head.

Qi Yu was indeed led astray for a time!

It wasn't until he said that he would fight, regardless of winning or losing, and that he would become one with him that Qi Yu realized what was going on.

The reason I let him lead me around is because I need his help, so naturally, I lowered my stance.

But it seems I was wrong from the very beginning!

Why should I make that demand of him?

He's nothing more than a prisoner now!

Whether he agrees or not, will it have a big impact on me?

No!

The Corpse God remained silent for a moment before speaking again:

"I really don't have much time left. If I don't go out, I will run out of energy and starve to death within a hundred years."

"But I will outlive you, while you will soon die!"

Qi Yu shrugged, looking indifferent, and said, "Whatever. Everyone dies eventually. Death can be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather."

"I might make up my mind to dismember the body in a few days, who knows? You can stay here then!"

When it truly comes to a life-or-death situation, Qi Yu can sever the corpse, at which point this corpse god will have no use.

So it's not Qi Yu who's in a hurry now, but this corpse god.

He needed to persuade Qi Yu before Qi Yu made up his mind to dismember the corpse.

"I think I've figured out what kind of person you are now. Goodbye, I'll come again, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer then."

As Qi Yu spoke, he climbed down from the altar and walked out of the cave.

The Corpse God stared blankly at Qi Yu's retreating figure, then sat down again and closed his eyes.

Let's see who loses their temper first!

------------

Chapter 85 Playing

Qi Yu emerged from the scene of the Quasi-Saint, rubbing his temples in exasperation. The troublesome nature of this Corpse God was more difficult than he had imagined.

This corpse god has actually learned mind reading. Faced with such an ability, no matter what I do, I will be at a disadvantage when I talk to him.

Su Yue watched Qi Yu emerge from the side hall. Without asking, she knew what had happened just by looking at Qi Yu's expression.

"What are you planning to do next?" Su Yue asked while teasing the two children.

Qi Yu turned around, looked at the Heavenly Dao Sword, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's go see if there's any way to repair the dantian!"

"If all else fails, I'll have to resort to severing my own corpse to prolong my life!"

As he spoke, Qi Yu narrowed his eyes, his expression grave. "However, I don't want to do this unless absolutely necessary; the risks are just too great!"

"I'm not sure if my personality will change drastically after I dismember the corpse, so I'd better be careful!"

"Moreover, I think it's normal for a person to have emotions and desires. Cutting off one's own evil thoughts, being detached from worldly affairs, and being without joy or sorrow makes life feel meaningless. It makes me feel like a puppet."

"If I really became like that, uninterested in anything, and living without any direction, I'd rather be dead!"

This is what Qi Yu is worried about. If it really turns out like that, what's the point of living?

Even if one could live for thousands of years, it would still be a form of suffering.

“But the dantian cannot be repaired; no one has ever succeeded in doing so throughout history!” Su Yue said calmly.

She wasn't pouring cold water on things; she was stating the facts.

Qi Yu shook his head with a wry smile, but said nothing.

Walking over to Su Yue, she took Qi Wen out of the cradle and said with a soft smile, "No matter what, I will try my best to live on."
