Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 191 - 105: Mysterious Ancient Street of Walking Corpses, Leisurely Fishing by the Stream
As Li Yuan took a step forward, the eerie mysterious ancient street behind him vanished, along with the vendors’ cries.
The slightly damp wild wind and moonlight hit his face, making him feel so familiar.
"As long as I don’t enter the door, I won’t enter the Carpenter’s Shop.
Even if I entered the Carpenter’s Shop, I may still have the strength to contend.
Others need Shadow Blood to draw the Ancestral Talisman to ward off evil.
But I, with just a thought, can cover my whole body with blood.
My blood serves the same purpose as others’ Shadow Blood Ancestral Talisman.
Therefore, my whole body is an Ancestral Talisman; my whole body wards off evil.
This should... also be the reason I can break into the Carpenter’s Shop."
Li Yuan pondered silently in his heart; he at least still had this one trump card.
Although self-created cultivation skills are very difficult, the benefits manifested in this moment.
Soon, a person suddenly appeared in the air; it was Pang Yuanhua.
She handed two copies of the Life Atlas to Li Yuan.
"One is from the Frost Sword Sect, and the other is from Fuyue Nunnery.
I was originally hosting you, so the one from Fuyue Nunnery was also kept with me..."
"Others who leave the street won’t appear here, right?"
"Yes... they will appear where they entered the street."
"Thank you, Miss Pang."
"You’re welcome, Senior, it’s just that... let’s go back to the Zhong Mansion together.
We’ve earned money and found the Carpenter’s Shop, we can break free from the curse."
Pang Yuanhua looked at him somewhat expectantly.
She was weaker in strength but stronger than others, therefore she needed to team up with the Blood Saber Ancestor in front of her.
Li Yuan thought for a moment, then said: "Miss Pang, how can I find you?"
Pang Yuanhua ceased her persuasion and said: "Zhong Mansion outer courtyard, the fourteenth side room on the left, be sure not to enter the wrong room...
If you reach the side room and don’t find me, you can talk to the woman surnamed Long.
Tell her she likes fried rice cakes, and she’ll know you’re my friend."
After speaking, Pang Yuanhua didn’t linger, turned, and continued walking down the path, determined to return to that mysterious ancient street, soon vanishing after multiple turns.
Li Yuan stowed the Life Atlas and retraced his steps, while Tang Nian and Wang San were still waiting in place.
This time, besides them, there were many torches burning fiercely.
The numerous torches lit up the area brightly, also revealing faces familiar to Li Yuan.
There was Tie Sha, Zhao Chunxin, and many disciples of the Blood Saber Sect.
"Ancestor!!" Tie Sha, seeing Li Yuan, was both excited and worried.
In such chaotic times, without the Blood Saber Ancestor, Shanbao County would become a piece of meat on a chopping board; should another person like Zhao Xiantong come, Shanbao County would be turned upside down. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Sect Leader Tie, I’m alright, just that I’ll have to sleep outdoors for a while."
Li Yuan laughed heartily, then pointed at him, saying, "You all are the same."
Tie Sha solemnly said: "Tang Nian told us everything; we didn’t expect the Ghost Realm to be so strange... opening one door leads to the Carpenter’s Shop."
He slowly shook his head, "In these times, why are the Ghost Realms becoming more and more frequent? It didn’t used to be like this."
Li Yuan glanced at Zhao Chunxin, who was not far away, and greeted: "Miss Zhao is here too?"
"Ancestor!" Zhao Chunxin, with a face full of flesh, hurriedly saluted.
Li Yuan sighed quietly but didn’t correct her formality.
Some things... cannot be corrected.
Tie Sha said: "Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Li Yuan replied: "Let’s head back first; I’ll stay outside the county for a while to think of a solution."
...
A little over half a month later.
Outside Shanbao County, towards the northeast, by Silver Creek, Li Yuan leaned against an old tree, beside him a secret roasted duck wrapped in oiled paper, and a jar of Snow Brew; he held a rod to ’cultivate understanding of the mental realm’.
Yes, he was fishing.
He needed to clear his mind.
But if he couldn’t clarify it, there was no rush.
After all, there was food and drink, and his body was completely unafraid of the cold and mist of the wild.
As for predators? First, they wouldn’t bite him; second, they couldn’t bite through him.
And "Blood and Flesh Exhausted," somehow... he hadn’t felt it; perhaps it had something to do with his exorcising Shadow Blood.
If so, why hurry?
The Blood Saber Sect had deployed many people to help him investigate matters in Hua Mo County.
And he could continue contemplating the Life Atlas here.
As long as he did not enter the door, the Woodworker Ghost couldn’t do anything to him.
If he accidentally entered, he would unleash Blood Burst...
Additionally, he also experimented with criminals and thieves.
Where he was, every door opened would become the Carpenter’s Shop, but as long as they left a certain range, it was fine.
Those who interacted with him, after leaving this range, wouldn’t have any incidents.
This implies his wife and daughter could still visit him occasionally.
Quite good.
The youth with long hair wore a loose white robe, yawned lazily in the warm sunlight.
Across the riverbank, the willow trees had begun to shoot new buds.
"It’s February, spring has arrived... I should have Sister Xue bring some more Spring Water Brew."
