The Purple Corpse's yin energy was thick. It was obvious that she had a Heavenly Master cultivation base. However, she ran away from the evil sacrificial spirit with a frightened face. I didn't know what others would think, but my first reaction was that the evil sacrificial spirit had been exposed. The Purple Corpse had recognized his true cultivation base!
However, just as I was about to make the first move, I suddenly thought of something. The evil sacrificial spirit's true cultivation base was indeed terrifying, but he couldn't even recover to the Heavenly Master realm. Even if the Purple Corpse had recognized his cultivation base, she shouldn't have been so afraid.
… What's going on?
I was a little confused. I put down my foot that I was about to lift. I wanted to observe the situation.
The reality was completely different from what I had guessed. The cold woman didn't seem to have any intention of attacking. She turned to the Purple Corpse and patted it as if she was comforting it. After a long time, she pointed at the distance. The Purple Corpse instantly flew away and disappeared into the darkness.
After the Purple Corpse had left, the cold woman lifted her head and suddenly asked me, "Are you willing to take me as your master?"
I was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why did she suddenly want to take me as her disciple?
I didn't know how to answer and could only look at Hall Master Liu who wasn't far from me.
He didn't seem to know that the cold woman would do such a thing. His expression was similar to mine. He was also dumbfounded and looked at the cold woman in surprise.
I didn't immediately answer her question. Instead, I hesitantly turned to Hall Master Liu and asked, "Master, I …"
Without waiting for me to say anything, the doubt on Palace Head Liu's face disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a slightly regretful yet excited expression. He interrupted me and said, "Martial Uncle Lin wants to accept you as his disciple. This is a great fortune. You don't have to call me master anymore. In the future, since you've become Martial Uncle Lin's disciple, you can just call me Senior Brother Liu when we meet."
It was obvious that he didn't want me to stay. In other words, he didn't have the courage to fight with this cold woman.
Since he had already given up, I didn't have anything else to say. I nodded and called out to the cold woman, "Master."
When the ice cold woman heard how I addressed her, her expression didn't change at all. She replied with a cold expression, then asked me, "Your name, age, family situation, when you joined the sect, when you obtained the corpse puppet. Tell me all of it."
She threw out so many questions in one breath as if she was investigating someone's background. Although I didn't know what she was planning, I didn't dare to be negligent. I recalled the memories I had seen in Wang Lin's mind and answered her questions one by one.
After hearing my reply, she faintly nodded. I couldn't tell if she was satisfied or not. She then spoke to me again. "You should have heard of my identity … I am an elder of the sect, and am in charge of the Purple Zombie Cave's lower hall. After you become my disciple, you should cultivate with me, but the sect's rules are strict, so you can only temporarily stay in the Black Zombie Cave. It won't be too late for you to cultivate with me in the Purple Zombie Cave after you reach the Glory of Consciousness realm.
Of course, if you have any questions about your cultivation, you can also come to the Purple Zombie Cave to find me. This is an access token that will allow you to freely enter and exit the Purple Zombie Cave. "
After saying that, she casually tossed a purple circular token into my hand.
At this moment, I was still in a dazed state. After catching the token, I casually looked at it before putting it in my pocket.
Seeing that I had put away the token, the cold woman took out an old thread-bound book and handed it to me. "This is the book that I learned from when I was in the Pressure Point Realm. I should read it when I get back, it'll be good for my cultivation."
After chattering for a long time, she finally told me to go back. However, just as I was about to leave, she suddenly stopped me and said, "In the future, pay more attention to your corpse puppet. If it shows any abnormalities, you must immediately come and tell me. Do you understand?"
This was another sentence that I didn't understand, but I didn't ask any more questions. I nodded to show that I understood. Then, I left with the evil sacrificial spirit.
After returning to my cave, I sat down and frowned as I thought about everything that had happened today.
That cold woman was obviously the one that Jiang Dongcheng had mentioned before. She was the last ranked elder of the Corpse Sect, Elder Lin. If I wasn't mistaken, her cultivation was at the Glorious Knowledge realm.
However, when the Corpse Sect calculated a person's cultivation, they also calculated their corpse puppet. She most likely relied on her Heaven Master realm purple corpse to become an elder.
Her action of accepting me as a disciple wasn't strange. After all, I had inexplicably become a pure Yin bloodline. It was normal for her to snatch me away from Palace Master Liu's hands.
However, from her strange actions today, I could clearly see that she didn't accept me as a disciple because of my physique. It was more likely because of my corpse puppet, which was the evil sacrificial spirit.
I didn't know what the purple corpse had smelled from the evil sacrificial spirit, but it was obvious that the cold woman had misunderstood something. It was because of the misunderstanding of the evil sacrificial spirit that she finally decided to accept me as a disciple.
What was this misunderstanding?
I frowned and pondered for a long time, but I didn't have a single clue.
It wasn't until the evening that I got up and went to find Jiang Dongcheng.
When I arrived at his cave, I didn't exchange pleasantries with him and asked him to tell me about Elder Lin's situation in detail.
Jiang Dongcheng didn't know what had happened, but he didn't refuse and told me everything he knew in detail.
The cold Elder Lin was called Lin Xue. Her cultivation was indeed at the middle stage of the Glorious Knowledge realm. She relied on her corpse puppet to become an elder, but because her cultivation wasn't high enough, she was ranked last.
Although her cultivation level wasn't high, because of her beauty and the fact that she was a rare female in the Corpse Sect, she was very popular in the sect. Not only was she in charge of the Purple Zombie Cave, but the other four caves and seven temples were also very familiar with her. It could be said that she was the most popular among the nine elders.
After the introduction, Jiang Dongcheng smiled and asked me why I was suddenly interested in the beautiful Elder Lin.
I shook my head. "It's not that I'm interested in her, but she's interested in me. Today, she came to our Black Zombie Cave and accepted me as her disciple."
"What?"
The smile on Jiang Dongcheng's face froze, but he immediately became excited again. "You really became Elder Lin's disciple?
Amazing!
Brother Wang, you're too amazing!
Many people in our sect have dreamed of this, but you've made it happen! "
He seemed to be even more excited than me. He was so excited that he even forgot to address me.
I didn't mind it and waited for him to calm down before asking, "Today, Elder Lin … My master told me that if I have any problems with my cultivation, I can find her at any time.
However, I've never been to the Purple Zombie Cave before, so I don't know the situation there. I don't know if Junior Brother Jiang understands the situation in the Purple Zombie Cave or if you know where the lower hall is located. "
Jiang Dongcheng claimed that he was a local tyrant, and he wasn't bluffing. He immediately took a pen and paper and drew the general situation of the Purple Zombie Cave for me. "I've been to the Purple Zombie Cave many times, so I know the place well. I'm sure I can find it according to the map."
After receiving the map, I left and returned to my cave mansion. I opened the map and combined it with the scene I had seen in the Purple Zombie Cave in the Yin energy passage. I calculated the location of the lower hall in the Purple Zombie Cave. After confirming the location, I threw the map away and went to the wall of the cave mansion.
The wall had been repaired a few days ago. At this moment, it didn't look any different from the surrounding walls. However, it was still much weaker than the original wall. I gently poked it, and it broke, revealing a hole that people could enter.
Before entering, I called Tong Tong and asked her to guard my cave mansion. If someone knocked on the door, she could notify me immediately.
After everything was ready, I took the evil sacrificial spirit back to the Yin energy passage.
If I wanted to know why Lin Xue had accepted me as her disciple, the only way was to spy.
If she had an ulterior motive, she would reveal it sooner or later. Moreover, it was possible that she had told someone else about it.
I couldn't go to the Purple Zombie Cave to spy. However, the Yin energy passage connected to all the caves. It was the best place for me to spy on her.
After entering the Yin energy passage, I followed Jiang Dongcheng's map and my own calculations. Soon, I reached the lower hall of the Purple Zombie Cave.
The wall here wasn't much different from the other caves. There were also small holes on the wall, and Yin energy seeped out of them.
The only difference was that this wall had twice as many holes as the other caves.
This difference confirmed my suspicion that it was the lower hall of Purple Zombie Cave. I carefully moved forward and squinted to look through the small hole. As soon as I saw what was inside, I jumped in fright and quickly shrank back.
It was the lower hall of the Purple Zombie Cave, and Lin Xue was in the cave mansion. However, there was a big bathtub near the wall.
