Chapter 179: Secrets of the Yinsi

Clearly, the Jiang family had shown sincerity this time; otherwise, they wouldn't have brought out all these hundred-plus ancient texts.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Jiang's Third Aunt felt a bit of joy. She hadn't forgotten that Lin Feng had once promised to return the Golden Corpse to her, though she didn't show it at this moment.

"The mining of that dark gold mine requires many mortal items. In the future, you will provide the mortal mercury, clean water, charcoal, and other such things, and I will return twenty percent of the proceeds to the Jiang family. What do you think?"

However, Lin Feng's words left her somewhat stunned, while the other members of the Jiang family were overjoyed.

They had never expected that this Great One would do such a thing, so before Jiang Yujin could answer, the other members of the Jiang family happily agreed.

"Thank you, Great One! Thank you, Great One!"

"We are willing, naturally we are willing!"

"Great One, rest assured, all these miscellaneous tasks will be handled by us from now on!"

"..."

What is called an unexpected joy? What is called regaining what was lost?

This was it. They had only brought out some ancient texts; these things were just gathering dust within the clan, and they had even kept copies. Bringing them out meant almost no loss to them.

But the other party was actually so generous as to return twenty percent of the dark gold mine's proceeds to them, which truly made them feel overjoyed.

"I thank the Great One for the reward!"

Jiang Yujin, having come to her senses, also hurriedly bowed to thank Lin Feng. Although it wasn't the Golden Corpse, such a reward was enough to make her grateful.

"One more thing: where do the corpses you use to raise corpses come from?"

Subsequently, Lin Feng asked them again.

"Replying to the Great One, the sources of these corpses vary. Ordinary walking corpses come from commoners or martial artists who died unnatural deaths in Xiangzhou."

"Most of the Iron Corpses are the corpses of martial arts experts after their deaths. As for their origins, some were bought by the Jiang family, and some were disciples specifically cultivated by the Jiang family; after they died accidentally, they were also refined into Iron Corpses."

"As for the origins of the Golden Corpses, they are quite special. I wonder if the Great One has ever heard of the Floating Corpse Cave in Xiangzhou?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Jiang Yujin hurriedly replied this time, though she deliberately kept him in suspense regarding the origin of the Golden Corpses.

"Tell me in detail!"

Lin Feng naturally hadn't heard of it, so he directly told her to continue.

"Yes, Great One."

"This Floating Corpse Cave is truly a forbidden land for the living in Xiangzhou. Legend has it that the cave is filled with corpses, with all kinds of terrifying walking corpses and zombies everywhere. Besides corpses, there are also terrifying Guiyi entrenched within."

"The corpses we use to refine Golden Corpses come from the Floating Corpse Cave. However, we naturally lack the strength to explore the interior of the Floating Corpse Cave, so we can only collect the corpses that are brought out of the Floating Corpse Cave by the waters of the Lijiang River."

After listening to her account, Lin Feng fell into deep thought. He really hadn't expected the origin of the Golden Corpses to be like this.

However, this Floating Corpse Cave aroused his great interest. According to her, the cave was filled with corpses; to him, wouldn't that be heaven?

"Good!"

Lin Feng nodded and praised her, but he didn't show anything else.

After all, the previous reward was already generous enough; some things were better in moderation, even when giving benefits.

"Great One, this is my clansman, my elder brother. He came to pay his respects to the Great One today because he has something he wants to say to you."

"Speak if you have something to say!"

"Yes!"

Receiving Lin Feng's permission, the Jiang family's Great Elder, Jiang Qingsong, slowly stepped forward and bowed to Lin Feng again: "Jiang Qingsong pays respects to the Great One."

"Hmm."

"My original intention in coming here was to ask the Great One to show mercy and leave a way for the Jiang family to survive, but I didn't expect the Great One to wave his hand and return twenty percent of the dark gold proceeds to the Jiang family."

"I thank you here. Thank you for your benevolence, Great One. In the future, the Jiang family will definitely prepare all the necessary items for smelting dark gold, and we will never let you worry about a single thing."

This old fellow was cunning and experienced. Although his words sounded slow, he had spoken Lin Feng's mind.

"A small matter. From now on, you will continue to serve me. After finding new mineral veins in the future, what would it matter if I reward you with some proceeds?"

Lin Feng didn't care about this, as this was his original intention anyway.

"The Great One is broad-minded!"

Others, hearing Lin Feng say this, praised him one after another, and even the Zouyins, who had nothing to do with this matter, were overjoyed.

There was no doubt that with these words from Lin Feng, they would truly be working their lives away from now on!

"Also, I have one more thing I would like to ask the Great One."

"Speak freely!"

"Great One, are you planning to rebuild the Yinsi in the Yinjian?"

Jiang Qingsong straightened his back, his aged face looking at Lin Feng sitting on the throne, and then he asked with an incomparably solemn voice.

"Why do you say that?"

Hearing the two words "Yinsi," Lin Feng became instinctively alert, even he himself didn't understand why this was the case.

However, on the surface, he remained unchanged and instead asked the other party in return.

"Great One, I once heard that there was once a Yinsi in the Yinjian. The Yinsi had a Son of Heaven who governed all things in the Yinjian, and the armies and soldiers in the hands of the Yin Son of Heaven shook all directions..."

Jiang Qingsong didn't directly explain why he thought so, but instead told Lin Feng a legend.

After listening to the other party's account, Lin Feng gradually understood why he thought so.

Because what he was doing now had some similarities to the legendary Yin Son of Heaven, such as building an invincible army in the Yinjian and suppressing the Guiyi of the Yinjian.

"I have no such intention at present!"

Finally, Lin Feng slowly spoke these six words to him.

"Yes, I beg the Great One's forgiveness. It was my rashness."

"No matter!"

By this time, Lin Feng had lost interest in the conversation, so he waved his hand and told them to withdraw.

"Yinsi, Yin Son of Heaven?"

After everyone had left, Lin Feng couldn't help but ponder these two words repeatedly. He didn't know why he had a bad feeling about these two words.

He couldn't say exactly what was going on; he just had this feeling.

However, these things were just legends after all and had nothing to do with him. Lin Feng thought for a while, but since he had no leads, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Subsequently, the Qianmian Zhi Gui appeared beside him, and the surrounding tents turned back into origami and disappeared.

Lin Feng came before the Guiyi suppressed by the Paper Army. The harvest this time was quite good, including three fierce ghosts and more than twenty evil ghosts, and the number of great ghosts was over a hundred.

"Slap! Slap!"

The Jieming Mu Gui appeared immediately, and the whip in its hand swung down, taming and controlling the fierce ghosts and evil ghosts one after another.

"Sasha~"

Immediately after, the Qianmian Zhi Gui acted, and these Guiyi began to be wrapped in paper, and the prototypes of the Paper Generals and Paper Colonels were slowly formed.

Then other ghosts appeared one after another; a large amount of paper money from the Xi Gui flew onto these Paper Generals and Paper Colonels; the ghost ink of the Tanshi Gui dyed everything black; and the Tou Gui acted to sew all the ghost powers into a whole.

"Crack! Crack!"

With this, three Paper Generals and twenty-three Paper Colonels were freshly produced.

Because all the ghosts that acted this time had already advanced to Disaster Ghosts, the strength of this batch of Paper Generals and Paper Colonels was stronger than before.

"Click, click, click, bang!"

After these Paper Generals and Paper Colonels entered the Yinjian, the Ghost Gate was directly closed by Lin Feng. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
