The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 356 - 177: Taboo Topic, Reborn Corpse Clan_3

"Why should I cooperate with you when there’s no money involved?"

Bai Qin paid no attention to any flattery; her gaze slightly hardened and her tone became colder.

"You provide what I want, I provide what you want, a win-win situation."

Ye Hanjun showed no fear. He stared at Bai Qin’s face, still smeared with dried blood, and spoke frankly:

"The growth method of a coroner’s power doesn’t need me to say more."

"However, apart from devouring corpses, Corpse Stench Demon Tubers can grow in one or two more ways that I know of, which I presume you will be interested in."

"Not enough." Bai Qin said, "Shadow Alliance doesn’t only have one 4th Order strong man overseeing it, I am merely a slightly larger leader within it, my power is far from sufficient."

"If the price of collaborating with you could potentially betray the Shadow Alliance, you will die, and I will die too."

"Betray? No, no, no, it hasn’t reached that point."

Ye Hanjun laughed awkwardly, and explained:

"This is a long-term process, ordinary information is insignificant, what you can obtain, other places can also obtain."

"However, the extremely important information that is exclusive to Shadow Alliance, if it can be traded, I will offer an additional chip. It won’t put you in a difficult position."

"..."

Bai Qin was silent for a short while, then lifted her head and suddenly asked:

"You are with the Ten Talents of Canghai, yet you are not one of them."

"As a 2nd Order Patron conversing with a 3rd order person like me, you don’t feel any pressure, you don’t worry about the potential threat at all."

"You are very special, very bold and very mysterious."

"I don’t want to know the reason behind it, I just want to ask, have you heard of ’resurrection from death’?"

"Resurrection from death?"

Ye Hanjun blinked, his expression slightly strange.

This is a taboo topic, hidden within various legends, mixing up real and fake, where an ordinary patron can mention.

"I hope to resurrect my relatives."

"If I can resurrect them, I can accept any price."

This time, it was Ye Hanjun’s turn to fall silent.

Just as he hesitated for a moment, Bai Qin’s eyes sparkled, she abruptly stood up:

"You are hesitating?"

Ye Hanjun shook his head, he articulated:

"You know, it’s a taboo topic."

"In this world, humans or Fond Spirits who have reached a certain realm, will inevitably pursue methods for longevity."

"But even the traces of Life-extending Treasures can be tracked, the resurrection of dead spirits...the two are not on the same dimension, how do you want me to answer?"

"Then what if... it’s just turning a few corpses into the Corpse Race?"

"I don’t seek the restoration of Spirit Wisdom, nor the remnants of memories, I just want to be in their original form, reborn as the Corpse Race..."

The glow in Bai Qin’s eyes became more and more scattered.

It seems that it conjured up some memories, she was suddenly stunned.

"The reborn Corpse Race?"

Ye Hanjun frowned, recollecting what Jiang Yongnian had mentioned about the student he favored. That student had a great enthusiasm for zombies and such, to the extent that he was unable to teach what he did not understand.

At times, this student would even run into the wilderness.

No matter how chilly and gloomy the night was, she was willing to guard a crowd of corpses by herself, patiently waiting for them to decay and mutate.

This... is not something an ordinary person can do.

Just hearing about it gives off a creepy and sickening vibe.

Ye Hanjun seemed to realize something, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Could it be that... your interest in corpses is ultimately to resurrect your relatives?"

"Yes!" Bai Qin nodded without hesitation, "Twenty years ago, my parents and my brother died in an accident, I became an orphan at a very young age."

"Till today, their skeletons have decayed."

"But I have preserved them till now because I have heard of the legend of ’resurrection from death’, and have decided to pursue this path for my entire life."

"Hmm..."

Ye Hanjun pinched his chin and fell silent again.

After quite a while, he met the burning gaze from across him, and whispered:

"You think ’resurrection from death’ is too elusive, so you decide to take a step back and try to be reborn as a Corpse Race?"

"If it’s just that, I can indeed provide certain assistance."

"But as you well know, becoming a Corpse Race has a chance of success."

"However, by that time, from human to corpse, tantamount to becoming an independent, newborn undead from the Underworld, without its previous memories, if you expect to converse with it, you should give up as soon as possible."

At this point, Ye Hanjun took out a blank Spirit cloth scroll and wrote on it by infusing a bit of Soul Power.

Thanks to his living environment since childhood, he had the deepest understanding of ’Underworld’ and ’Prison’ among all Chaos Seals.

Preserving skeletons, reincarnating as the Corpse Race, too many people in history had attempted this.

Everyone has a soft spot in their hearts, when the people they care for die, that kind of torment, that kind of regret, it’s like a piercing pain in their hearts.

Unfortunately, this is far off from genuine resurrection from death... the gap is too huge!

To resurrect with necromancy and also retain everything from before, this is something even Holy Saint Embryo does not dare to dabble in rashly, there’s a high possibility of death.

"This scroll..."

Bai Qin took the Spirit cloth scroll, her steady breath suddenly became heavy, and her aloof expression mixed with a hint of fanaticism after she finished reading it.
