The last time I took it was three years ago. This time, thanks to your favor, I get to experience it again,\" Wei Jian said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Wei, are there any tips for selecting corpses later?\" a female disciple asked coquettishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Jian smiled but did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man who first comprehended qi sensing, Rong Xuejian, said, \"The grass corpses you can select have their heads exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at the array patterns carved on their heads.

Never mind, I’ll choose the one with the most energy just now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Lou Yi turned to leave but abruptly stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sss... sss...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very subtle rustling sound came, just slightly louder than ants crawling on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Lou Yi’s senses far surpassing normal, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped toward the source of the sound, narrowing his eyes slightly at what he saw before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bald head, marked with black lines, was exposed above ground, with the rest of the body hidden in the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was indeed another corpse buried here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But oddly, the Attribute Panel gave no indication—was it an oversight, or was there another reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitant over whether to dig it up, Lou Yi suddenly heard the rustling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s moving; it wants to come out.’ This thought flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he hesitated no more, grabbed the wooden spade bestowed by the elder, and started digging, doing his old work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few swift movements, he unearthed a male corpse covered with black, irregular lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse was hairless, browless, beardless, its eyes tightly shut, having a regular appearance but a resolute expression, looking about thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its skin was pale, lips purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body had a streamlined musculature, not much different from a veteran martial artist, hinting at the great strength hidden beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi reached out to squeeze the male corpse’s arm to carry it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other suddenly shifted slightly to the side, its eyes snapping open, with amber yellow pupils surrounded by a ring of bright red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male corpse extended a pale hand, abruptly grabbing at Lou Yi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to its speed, it even made a sharp sound as it cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Snap!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Lou Yi had grabbed it by the neck, lifting it up, its limbs flailing wildly like claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What on earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others’ corpses were extremely still, needing their owners to carry them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one he unearthed seemed peculiar, even trying to counterattack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi wouldn’t indulge it, gripping the male corpse by the neck, forcibly dragging it outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Corpse Forest, a lively scene was taking place at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1253,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","0cb46a5c1ae99e4ecd98cc032322e69949f620505c8b97758636b2c70466fbce","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-278","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-276",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
