Chapter 207

Lin Feng's consciousness descended upon the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren, and through it, he took in the entire situation within the courtyard.

Lin Feng felt quite satisfied with the development of this Corpse-Collecting Zhiren; not only had it collected a large number of corpses for him, but it had also taken in quite a few disciples, which could be said to be quite important for future development.

After all, if the scale of the corpse collectors is to be expanded, relying solely on the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren is not enough; it needs to constantly branch out and spread.

After looking around, Lin Feng controlled the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren to stand up and walk toward Shitou and Goudan, who were training the wolf beasts.

"Master! Master! Look, these guys have already understood what I said!"

"Lie down! Lie down!"

"Woo-woo~"

Seeing the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren come over, Goudan hurriedly spoke to claim credit, and as he gave the order to the wolf beast beside him, the wolf beast slowly lay down on the ground.

However, from the fact that the wolf beast had its tail tucked and its whole body was trembling, one could see that the reason this wolf beast had become so obedient was likely not because of Goudan's command.

"Ka-ka-ka"

The Corpse-Collecting Zhiren nodded at Goudan, then began to reach out and inspect these wolf beasts.

Previously, when Lin Feng suppressed that barbarian Ghost Bone Wolf Cavalry, he had not paid too much attention to these wolf beasts.

In fact, there were dozens of other wolf beasts controlled by the Tou Gui at that time, but Lin Feng felt that the number was too large for the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren and its disciples to raise.

So he only kept these few in the end, and all the others were turned into wolf skins...

As the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren began to inspect the bodies of the wolf beasts, these guys lay on the ground and kept "woo-woo" whining.

They dared to bare their fangs at Shitou and Goudan, but they were as timid as mice when facing the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren.

Because they had truly seen the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren strike, and the terrifying power of the Tou Gui had left an indelible impression in their minds.

It could be said that in the hearts of these wolf beasts, the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren was absolutely the most ferocious existence in the world.

"Master, among these wolf beasts, there are two female wolves, and one of them is already pregnant with wolf pups!"

"I've asked the old hunter in the town, and these guys are best raised from a young age; that way, they will be much closer to people, and as long as they are managed well, they won't be much different from dogs!"

On the other side, Shitou saw the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren inspecting the condition of the wolf beasts, so he spoke to it about what he had found out.

"Ka-ka"

The Corpse-Collecting Zhiren withdrew its hand, then patted Shitou on the shoulder to signal him to follow.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Shitou felt a bit puzzled by the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren's behavior, but he still followed obediently behind it.

Arriving in the room, the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after simply dipping in some ink, it began to write several prescriptions on a piece of paper.

These prescriptions were exactly the medicinal formulas for strengthening Qi and blood and for stabilizing a pregnancy; in addition, there was also a prescription for making Ghost Blood Soup.

Since it planned to start formally cultivating Ghost Beasts next, it naturally had to take these wolf beasts in its hands seriously.

Although the number of wolf beasts in the hands of the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren was not large yet, there were plenty in the hands of the barbarians, and they would be able to catch them as long as they kept an eye out.

It could even be said that they wouldn't even need to go looking for them; those barbarian wolf cavalry would gather here in a continuous stream on their own...

"Strengthen, bone, strong blood... prescription, Master, is this prescription for my junior fellow apprentices and sister?"

Shitou, beside the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren, struggled for a long time before recognizing the name of one of the prescriptions, so he asked the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren quite curiously.

"Ka-ka"

Hearing him ask this, the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren shook its head directly, then casually drew a wolf head on these prescriptions to indicate that these were prescriptions specifically for the wolf beasts.

"Hiss~ Master, is it okay to feed medicine to those wolf beasts?"

"It would be better to give it to Junior Brother Ban Jin; his little arms and legs look like they could break at any moment, he should be properly nourished!"

This time Shitou understood, but in his simple concept, feeding tonics to livestock was still too wasteful.

Hearing him say this, Lin Feng also felt it made some sense; in this day and age, the common people basically had one meal and missed the next, and the physical fitness of the few young disciples taken in by the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren was not very good either.

"Sha-sha~"

So the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren picked up the brush again to write two new prescriptions, and then drew the images of a little boy and a little girl on the prescriptions respectively.

These two prescriptions were both of the gentle tonic type, and long-term consumption could strengthen the physique and make up for the deficiency of Qi and blood.

"Hehe, thank you, Master!"

Seeing that the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren had written these prescriptions, Shitou hurriedly thanked the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren.

He was not stupid, so he naturally understood that these were prescriptions prepared specifically for them by the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren.

After handing the prescriptions to Shitou, the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren signaled him to go to the town to get the medicine; although Fenglei Mountain was not large, there were still pharmacies.

"Alright! I'm going right now!"

After putting away these prescriptions, Shitou nimbly left the room and ran out of the courtyard.

Fenglei Mountain was originally just the name of a piece of mountain, famous because there was a Fenglei Daoist Temple on the mountain; this temple could also be considered a fairly prestigious Daoist temple in Yunzhou.

However, ever since the barbarian army broke through Liangzhou, the people of Yunzhou fled to these originally extremely remote places to avoid the chaos of war.

The current Fenglei Mountain had become a place where a large number of refugees, scattered border troops, surrounding mountain people, and Daoists on the mountain gathered.

There was originally a small town at the foot of Fenglei Mountain, but it was now overcrowded, and the refugees who fled there could only build shacks around the town and reclaim wasteland to barely survive.

For their livelihood, the vast majority of the fleeing people basically had to go into the mountains every day to pick herbs, hunt, or get some mountain goods.

The small courtyard where the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren and the others were located was situated on the mountainside of Fenglei Mountain, which could be considered a spacious and comfortable place in the entire Fenglei Mountain.

This was also due to the preferential treatment from that Daoist Master Zhou; if it weren't for the fact that the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren did not want to live in the Daoist temple, the other party might have even settled them in the Daoist temple on the top of the mountain.

After going down the mountain, Shitou drove the carriage familiarly to the pharmacy in the town and began to pick up the medicine according to the prescriptions.

"The man from the Li family went into the mountain once and never came back!"

"Sigh, in this winter, if you slip on the mountain, that's it!"

"The corpse was carried back and it was already cold through."

"Poor his two children, now that they have no father or mother, I don't know how they will live."

"My family doesn't have any food for the pot either, this..."

However, just after Shitou came out of the pharmacy with a few paper packets, he heard some people sighing.

Hearing that someone had died, Shitou didn't feel much at first; after all, in this day and age, who didn't die every day?

But upon hearing about the corpse and the two orphans, he had the idea to go and take a look.

After asking clearly about the location, Shitou headed straight toward the shack area outside the town.

There were basically no intact houses here; they were all shacks built with tree trunks, thatch, and mud. Just as he walked into this place, Shitou heard sobbing sounds.

He followed the sound and found it was also a shack that leaked everywhere, with a corpse that had already turned cold and stiff placed in the small space.

Judging from the bloodstains on the corpse, it should have fallen from a high place and died; the state of death was somewhat unbearable to look at, and the skin showed large areas of blue-black marks.

Beside the corpse, two children, one big and one small, were hugging each other and crying into a ball; the scene looked exceptionally miserable.
