Corpse Recovery Diver

Li Zhiyuan lowered his head and took a sip of the flower tea Brother Pang Jin had given him and said, "So, you're almost dead."

Zhao Yi's heart has either been dug out or is almost useless. Right now, he relies on this Life Gu to function as his heart, but this can't last long.

"Yeah, I'm almost dead, and I have you to thank for that."

The footsteps of Brother Pang Jin came from behind, and Zhao Yi buttoned up his shirt.

Brother Pang Jin placed a plate of fruit down and laughed, "Eat, you guys."

Li Zhiyuan asked Zhao Yi, "Did you book the rooms?"

Zhao Yi said to Brother Pang Jin, "Book four rooms, preferably all on the ground floor."

Brother Pang Jin quickly waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what I meant, just offering some fruit to entertain friends."

"Book the rooms and call in the three people outside, just say I said so."

"Alright, I'll help you book them."

Brother Pang Jin ran back to the front room.

Zhao Yi peeled an orange and put it into his mouth, chewing as he spoke, "When I missed the chance in Guizhou, I stumbled upon an ancient burial site of the Miao Border Corpse Gu Sect and nearly died, but I survived by sheer luck." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Li Zhiyuan responded indifferently, "What's it to me?"

Actually, it does matter. The crisis with the Old Transgender should have been resolved by Zhao Yi and himself together, but he dealt with it cleanly in advance.

Meaning Zhao Yi missed that opportunity, and then a new wave would inevitably happen quickly and fiercely, greatly increasing the danger and difficulty.

Zhao Yi shook his head, "I understand. Anyway, you're heartless."

Li Zhiyuan asked, "So you shouldn't have come to Lijiang, right?"

"Yes, that's right, the Lijiang crisis wasn't meant to include me. I found out and voluntarily joined to take on this wave." Zhao Yi gently touched his chest, "I'm in a hurry to use the merit from this wave to extend my life."

The merit from Zou Jiang is sometimes hard to quantify, some may seem vague, but they truly exist.

Each time Tan Wenbin used the Ghost Control Skill, he would rely on merit from each wave to replenish his lifespan, which was "visible to the naked eye."

Additionally, there are invisible ones, such as the previous wave in Guizhou:

Run Sheng swallowed the Gu child, Yin Meng got the Gu Worm, Tan Wenbin's two adoptive sons consumed the resentment from the mural, and he obtained the copper coin sword.

Even Lin Shuyou, every time he deeply cooperates with the White Crane Child to fend off enemies, he actually gains benefits because as the official, his primary method of improving strength now lies in his integration and collaboration with the Yin God.

Zhao Yi couldn't wait. Knowing that his Life Gu heart could abruptly stop at any moment, he eagerly wanted to involve himself in the next wave, hoping to find a way to extend his life.

If he succeeds, it's highly likely that this Life Gu would change due to some fortuitous event, transforming from instability to relative stability over a longer period.

Li Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Yi and spread his hands, "See, you indeed have to thank me because I'm giving you the opportunity to extend your life."

Without fragmented jade, you can't take the seat, and you're not truly in this wave, so where does the merit come from?

Zhao Yi placed his hand on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, resembling a nonchalant nobleman, his toes gently swaying, and said:

"You're not really offering it to me, you're trying to shift the problem."

"Misjudge a good intention."

"Hah, do you have two pieces of fragmented jade on hand?"

Li Zhiyuan said nothing, quietly sipping tea.

Zhao Yi continued, "You definitely have two pieces. Someone like you wouldn't let yourself be without entry qualification. Let me guess, one piece you can keep sealed, and the other you can't suppress and want to pass off to me like a hot potato?"

Li Zhiyuan remained silent.

"Do you realize that because you hid two pieces, the single piece outside has caused such a fierce competition?"

Li Zhiyuan set down his teacup.

Zhao Yi quickly picked up the hot water bottle on the floor and refilled his teacup.

Out of the only piece of fragmented jade outside erupted corpse energy, while the other two pieces remained absent without mention, leading to much speculation.

The most mainstream conjecture is that the holders of the other two pieces continue to suppress the corpse energy inside.

This doesn't fit common sense because each temporary holder of the contested fragmented jade first attempts to seal it, but all fail.

But this is the most rational explanation because with the flow of Jiang Shui, right now the three pieces of fragmented jade must be within Lijiang's territory, and the Jianghu produces remarkable individuals, something difficult for you might be possible for someone else.

The moment Zhao Yi received the information from Li Zhiyuan, he knew the young man had two pieces of fragmented jade!

Unbelievable things, when paired with unbelievable people, suddenly become normal.

He wouldn't naively think that Li Zhiyuan deliberately wanted to help him by deciding to give him a piece.

At least before the meeting, Li Zhiyuan didn't know he was dying and desperately needed merit to extend his life.

So, the piece of fragmented jade was originally intended to be given away, to him Zhao Yi or to a dog it doesn't matter.

The freshly poured tea was scalding, not drinkable. Li Zhiyuan gently rotated the teacup in his hand and asked:

"Do you want it?"

"Yes!"

"Cooperate in the play."

"Wait for its corpse energy to erupt, forcing me to hand it over under everyone's watch?"

"Yes."

"I reached cooperation with two other groups last night to hunt down the holder of fragmented jade, we'll kill the holder first then fight internally."

After receiving your message, I immediately betrayed them, not only did I stand back but I intentionally sabotaged the array I set up, catching them off guard with heavy casualties.
