: Who doesn't like opening blind boxes?

[Target: Striped Tiger]

Race: Tiger

[Bloodline: Contains a trace of an unknown tiger-type demon beast bloodline "unawakened"]

Body integrity: 47%, Degree of alienation: 32%

"Um?"

Looking at the unknown tiger-type demonic beast bloodline displayed in the "Striped Tiger Bloodline" column, and its mutation level of up to 32%, Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of regret.

"There really are mortal beasts with demonic bloodlines..."

Such mortal beasts, which have reached the end of their lifespan but still possess bloodlines, are more valuable than most first-tier demonic beast corpses, because they will naturally awaken their bloodlines after receiving the Yin Sha spirit body.

It's like opening a blind box; nobody knows what kind of bloodline it will inherit.

It could be just a common first-tier low-grade demon beast bloodline, but it could also inherit a spirit beast bloodline comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Person.

"hiss..."

Thinking of all this, Zhu Yu was both tempted and conflicted. Not only was it lame, but judging from its condition, its internal organs and some flesh had obviously decayed. Under these conditions, it would be extremely difficult to draw in Yin energy.

That's probably why it wasn't chosen.

"Let's give it a try..."

After thinking about it, Zhu Yu decided to take it with him.

He also likes opening blind boxes. If he can win a big prize, being lame won't be a problem. He can just spend spirit stones to graft a leg on.

It all depends on whether it's worth it...

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yu stood up, beckoning to the gray-robed servant not far behind him. When the servant came closer, Zhu Yu pointed at the tiger carcass and said, "That's it."

"Yes, sir."

The gray-robed servant respectfully agreed, then immediately asked, "Would you like to purchase it using contribution points/spirit stones, or use a quota of corpse seeds from the Corpse Land?"

Seemingly realizing that Zhu Yuxin had only recently arrived, he explained in detail.

The corpse sites in the Underworld are divided into two types. One type, like Zhu Yu's, is allocated by the sect, which provides the corpse species and corresponding cultivation materials, while he is responsible for submitting fifteen living corpses every year.

Another option is to lease land for the deceased, bearing the profits and losses themselves.

"Renting a burial plot..."

Zhu Yu looked surprised and asked curiously, "How many contribution points/spirit stones are needed for one acre of corpse land, and how many contribution points/spirit stones are needed for one corpse seed?"

The gray-robed servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "I only know that renting one acre of first-grade low-level corpse land costs one thousand contribution points/low-grade spirit stones per year."

"A large corpse species costs 100 contribution points/spirit stones, while a small corpse species costs 50."

"Use the quota for the corpse site."

Zhu Yu nodded in understanding, and then took out his identity jade token without hesitation.

Although he possessed a huge sum of six hundred spirit stones, since there were quotas available in the Corpse Land, he figured he might as well use them; the only difference was that he would receive one less corpse seed a year and a half later.

The gray-robed servant took it, took out a jade-like object from his robes, lightly touched the jade tablet, as if he had obtained some information, and handed the jade tablet back, saying:

"Sir, I have registered your information. You can check it now."

Zhu Yu probed the jade tablet with his divine sense, and a table resembling a panel of information appeared in his mind. It recorded his information, zero contribution points, and the spiritual land he belonged to, "Netherworld Land". Below it, it showed that he had already received a large corpse.

"That's convenient."

Zhu Yu nodded to himself, then, still hoping to find a bargain, circled the cave again.

They obtained a lot of information about the types of corpses, including some that were highly intact or highly mutated, but none of them had any bloodline.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Zhu Yu abandoned his plan to scavenge for bargains, and led the gray-robed servant carrying the tiger carcass out of the underground cave. Under his guidance, they turned into a storeroom.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

The gray-robed servant said something, carried the tiger carcass to the front of the storeroom, whispered a few words to the old man behind the table and chairs at the door, and after a while, took a cloth bag and turned around.

"Sir, that's enough."

"Um."

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Upon arriving at the main hall, he found only a few servants in gray robes sweeping the floor. They all bowed respectfully upon seeing Zhu Yu, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the servants following behind him.

outside world.

The hills were shrouded in a thin black mist, and the five crescent moons on the dome of the sky were faintly visible. The night in the underworld was much darker than in the area for newly recruited disciples.

Non-stop.

Only after the nine waning moons converged and floated in the sky did Zhu Yu return to his own corpse-covered hill.

Wooden house.

Zhu Yu waved his hand at the gray-robed servant, "Just put it here." He took out a spirit stone from his sleeve, and after the servant put down the tiger corpse and cultivation materials, he handed it to him and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help on this trip."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's no trouble at all..."

The gray-robed servant's eyes lit up. Why did he go through all that trouble to carry the corpse seeds for others? It was all just to earn some hard-earned money. He took the spirit stones and hurriedly thanked them repeatedly.

Just as he was about to take his leave.

"Oh, right..."

Zhu Yu took out five more spirit stones and handed them to him, smiling, "My room is still lacking some furniture and kitchen utensils. Could you help me get some?" He paused, then asked, "Is this enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed servant's eyes lit up. He nodded hurriedly, took the spirit stones, and patted his chest, saying, "Please rest assured, sir, I'll take care of it all. I'll send someone to deliver them to you tomorrow."

"Go."

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave."

The gray-robed servant bowed and slowly withdrew from the living room.

After he left, Zhu Yu squatted down, took the cloth bag, and opened it. What came into view was a black stone bottle about a foot tall, a jade box, a slightly smaller cloth bag, and a note.

He took the slip of paper and looked at it.

The label read: "One bottle of 'Refined Beast Corpse Oil,' one box of 'Sealing Mud,' and several tools..."

Zhu Yu had attended the course "Basic Corpse Repair/Maintenance Guidelines" at the lecture hall, so he was familiar with "Refined Animal Corpse Oil" and "Sealing Mud".

"Refined Beast Corpse Oil," as the name suggests, is naturally produced from the accumulation of beast corpses. It contains abundant corpse energy, which can help "corpse species" quickly stiffen and maintain their worn-out bodies.

"Sealing Mud" is specially used to block the external pores of corpses, preventing the corpse energy it cultivates from leaking out.

Zhu Yu opened each one and took a look.

The "refined beast corpse oil" is dark brown and has no putrid smell; instead, it has a faint sandalwood fragrance. The "sealing mud" is grayish-white and has no smell, indicating that both have been processed.

"Next, we need to repair the corpse..."

Zhu Yu picked up the cloth bag containing the tools, walked to the side of the tiger corpse, and looked solemn.

According to the jade slip provided by Steward Heng.

Newly extracted corpse seeds cannot be planted directly in the corpse ground. The rotten and useless parts inside the body must be removed first. To prevent signs of decay from reappearing during cultivation, the seeds must be carefully coated with corpse oil.

Zhu Yu recalled the information detected by the Eye of True Sight, circulated his spiritual energy to cover his breath, and lifted up the tiger's corpse to expose its belly.

He took out several sharp knives of varying lengths from the cloth bag, along with sewing needles and thread, and arranged them neatly.

Zhu Yu picked up a foot-long, wide-bladed knife and forcefully stabbed it into the belly of the tiger corpse.

"Rip..."
