Chapter 0001: The Worry-Free Shop
This is the Worry-Free Grocery Store, which is just an ordinary grocery store, not much different from the many small shops in Qinglin City, merely scraping by to make ends meet. The name Worry-Free refers to its role in helping people deal with corpses
The expedited price is doubled
I didn't expect to actually find something good
At that time, although he was not among the strongest celestial beings in that boundless virtual game world, he was certainly one of the four great tycoons within it. If one sought rare materials, unique treasures, or extraordinary techniques, they would be right to come to him.
At a glance, Qin Yang could tell that these two unfortunate souls had fought to the bitter end, resulting in mutual destruction, only to be picked off by someone who took advantage of their weakened state, leaving both of them finished
Unfortunately, this cannot be considered a true talisman; one must wait for a genuine talisman master to complete the most critical core part, adding the finishing touch, only then can it be regarded as a true talisman
Relieving worries, or dealing with corpses
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, rubbing the blood jade carefully, his expression revealing a sense of unexpectedness
Qin Yang did not pay much attention, casually tossing it into his storage bag, and then reached out again towards the corpse of the middle-aged man. The same illusory hand shadow appeared, and after grasping it once more, he obtained another light orb.
After a short while, Qin Yang noticed sweat on his forehead. After lifting his brush, most of the talisman paper already had complete talisman paths, with only the center remaining blank
The store is named the Worry-Free Grocery Store
Boss Qin, please expedite the processing of this shipment. The burly man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuded a fierce aura, his breath visible as a wisp of white vapor in front of his nose, radiating a menacing presence throughout his entire being
It is simply a matter of good fortune, coinciding with the extensive development of the Wuliang Dao Academy towards Qinglin City, keeping up with the trend, employing a bit of cleverness, not fearing dirt or fatigue, and after a year and a half, finally establishing a place to settle down, a small storefront... with a shop in the front and living quarters in the back...
Qin Yang did not rush to collect them; he bent down and squatted in front of the two black cloth bags. Upon opening them, he saw two corpses inside: one appeared to be an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, while the other looked to be in his forties, with a pale face and no beard
It is important to note that in the western part of the city, there were not many cultivators to begin with. Furthermore, with the outbreak of the plague last year, the strongest individuals remaining here can only reach the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Nourishing stage, which is quite remarkable
In addition to the vast collection of rare secret techniques and scriptures gathered at that time, it would be invincible...
Suddenly, the hand formed from the white mist retracted, and in its grasp appeared a soft white sphere of light
After the strong man left, Qin Yang first took out a small cloth bag and sprinkled the yellow powder inside it in the backyard, paying special attention to the two corpses. Instantly, the pungent smell of blood dissipated. He then took out a porcelain bottle, and after removing the cork, a faint white smoke wafted out, causing all the odors to vanish.
Although it is true that I have crossed over as a character from a virtual game, this character is merely a newly created level 1 account, and the Qiankun bag has also transformed into the most basic storage bag, containing nothing more than a set of old clothes for changing... not a single extra hair...
After completing these tasks, Qin Yang finally opened the black cloth bag completely. Looking at the two corpses on the ground, he let out a deep sigh
There was a slight deviation
From cutting the talisman paper, outlining the basic patterns, soaking in the spiritual liquid, to solidifying the talisman path, at this moment, it can be considered that a foundational talisman of the fire element has been completed
When that illusory hand merged with Qin Yang's hand, the glowing sphere dissipated, revealing a blue-covered book shrouded in a layer of faint light
At that time, there was an outbreak of plague in the western part of the city, resulting in numerous deaths. The bodies of these individuals certainly could not be left in the city. However, such tasks are not typically handled by genuine cultivators. The city guard, fearing infection from the plague, allocated funds to... hire people to take these bodies outside the city for cremation and burial
Otherwise, how could two foundation-building cultivators who established their Dao foundation possibly die in the most dilapidated western part of Qinglin City
Hello, the customer has arrived
The moment his hand made contact with the corpse, a wisp of white mist emerged from Qin Yang's injury, resembling a hand extending from Qin Yang's own hand, reaching out to grasp the corpse
In the beginning, when I first crossed over and confirmed the ironclad fact of my transmigration, I discovered the Qiankun bag at my waist and let out three hearty laughs. This was because I had directly crossed over using my game character from the most popular virtual game in my previous life, "One Grade of Cultivation"
The individuals sought are those from the western part of the city, who are confined here and unable to leave. However, those willing to take on this task will be compensated. If they do not contract the plague afterwards, they will no longer be subject to confinement in the western part of the city
After all, this is a world where the path of immortality flourishes. If one wishes to investigate who they fought against before their demise, there are countless methods available, certainly no less than eight hundred. The various magical artifacts, techniques, and methods that could lead to their deaths all leave traces to follow. Even with the two corpses before him, Qin Yang could, through subtle clues and various means, trace back to who they were defeated by, even if he could not pinpoint the exact individual, he could narrow it down to an extremely small range. There are indeed traces to follow, and even with the two corpses before him, Qin Yang could, through subtle clues and various means, trace back to who they were defeated by, even if he could not pinpoint the exact individual, he could narrow it down to an extremely small range.
As the light sphere dissipated, a blood jade, two fingers wide, appeared in Qin Yang's hand. Its color was warm and smooth throughout, and the blood-red hue seemed to ooze like genuine blood, evoking a shiver down one's spine
A table was set, and an incense burner was placed on it. Qin Yang lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the burner, bowing respectfully to the two individuals.
Taking out a blank talisman paper, Qin Yang held a talisman brush made from the tail hair of three wolves. As he activated his true essence, he waited for a wisp of white spiritual light to stabilize at the tip of the brush. With a flick of his wrist, he began to slowly outline on the talisman paper.
After a year, I can be considered to have fully integrated into this place
Ah, I have obtained the skill book.
"Boss Qin, this is three times too much!" The burly man’s expression turned cold, his breathing became somewhat rapid, and his skin turned a fiery red as if it were on fire, his stature seemingly increasing by three inches...
Hehe... Qin Yang remained unmoved, merely letting out a cold laugh: "Excessive? I provide relief to others, and I have always set clear prices. These two are genuine cultivators who have established their Dao foundation, not mere novices in the Qi nurturing stage. Moreover, you think you have stripped them clean, but when their vitality dissipates, you send them to me, thinking I wouldn't notice? And the clothes these two are wearing are not ordinary silk; they are woven from heavenly silkworm silk using the eighteen-hook method. Additionally, this guy is quite old and still hasn't grown his beard. Do I really need to say where these two come from?"
The front store was closed before the back door was opened
Later, after the bodies were dealt with and the blockade in the west of the city was lifted, Qin Yang took the money and acquired a house in the west of the city, opening a general store to alleviate worries
Just as Qin Yang was lost in thought, a series of rhythmic, low knocks echoed from the back door, the sound varied in length and duration, continuing for several seconds. Qin Yang jolted, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
What a flourishing world of immortal cultivation it is
The Law of Nature, the True Dragon Prajna Skill, the Sword Classic of Inquiring Heaven, the Three Treasures Luminous Lamp, the Yin-Yang Alchemical Flask
As he spoke, the sturdy man honestly gave an additional 601 top-grade spirit stones
High risk, great difficulty, add three times more. Qin Yang glanced at it and casually added a remark.
I am aware of the rules; this is 401 grade spirit stone. The burly man remained expressionless as he opened a small pouch in front of me, revealing a pile of white crystals the size of fingernails.
To the two seniors, if you have grievances, then settle them; if you have enmities, then take your revenge. Just do not let it fall upon me. At the very least, I can ensure that you rest in peace, rather than leaving your bodies to be devoured by the beasts outside the city. Since you have departed, go in peace. If I happen to come across something good this time, I will prepare some incense for you later, at least three handfuls, enough for you to smell for a year
Qin Yang took on this task at that time, and fortunately, with a storage bag and his medical knowledge, he was fully equipped and managed to avoid infection
Well, all of these are gone
This was a moment of great joy and great sorrow, I almost cried at that time
In the blink of an eye, a strong smell of blood wafted in, and then a two-meter tall muscular man walked in, carrying two large black leather bags in his hands
Even the clothes are just a robe that has been washed to the point of almost falling apart
After spending three hours, Qin Yang finally set down his brush after creating ten basic fire talismans, his expression one of deep emotion
This business has become increasingly bizarre. At this point, it is essentially about helping people resolve the aftermath. Those sent for processing are basically all cases of unnatural deaths. It is obvious without needing to guess that these are all individuals who have fallen victim in conflicts, and some have been directly involved in black-on-black violence.
Qin Yang squatted at the entrance of the shop, gazing with a melancholic expression at the streak of a cultivator's escape light crossing the sky, murmuring to himself, his eyes filled with envy
This code was created by Qin Yang according to Morse code, and only the long-time clients who have had pleasant cooperation know about it. Of course, these long-time clients are unaware that this Morse code translates to the meaning of "bandit"
After a short while, I patted my backside and turned to return to my room, heading to my dedicated workspace
After muttering a few words, Qin Yang slowly brought one hand closer to the corpse of the old man
In an instant, the strong man seemed to return to his original state like a deflated balloon, wearing a silly smile and giving a thumbs up: "Boss Qin has a keen eye; let's add three times more, but it must be dealt with today"
When I first arrived last year, I was so hungry that my front and back were pressed together. The first money I earned for food was from handling corpses
It does not matter who does not come; the profession is to relieve others' worries. Qin Yang's actions, at the very least, ensure that no one can trace back to him. Naturally, if no one can trace back to him, the clients will not have to worry...
What is sold here are merely some subpar items, with even the semi-finished basic talismans considered as good products in the store
It is referred to as a workshop, but inside there is actually a redwood table, specifically cleared for the purpose of crafting basic talismans
Certainly, a true talisman master would never waste their true essence and time on such matters in the early stages. Therefore, selling basic talismans has become a relatively profitable item in Qin Yang's general store, with each talisman priced at 5 low-grade spirit stones. Qin Yang has managed to reduce costs, earning a profit of 2 stones, barely shaking off the title of a sweatshop worker
