“This guy’s strength is indeed above that Tiger Demon. The time it took to kill him was clearly longer than the Tiger Demon. But I feel this battle was not as dangerous as the one with the Tiger Demon.”

After punching the baldy to death, Zhou Chen sighed in his heart. He had actually beaten an enemy stronger than the Tiger Demon almost one-sidedly, although it had taken a long time.

“It is all thanks to the upgraded passive skills, as well as the bottle of potion I drank before the battle.”

The potion that Zhou Chen had drunk before the battle was an antidote. The reason why he had drunk this back then was because he had guessed that the bald man should have poison abilities, so he had drunk the antidote earlier to increase his poison resistance.

As for why he appeared from the black gas unscathed, it was not because of the antidote, but because he had activated the Shield passive skill to perfectly isolate the black gas.

[You have killed an Elder of the Green Corpse Sect. Reward: ‘Green Corpse Sutra’]

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skills of the Green Corpse Sect’s Elder, “Corpse Poison II, Copper Skin Iron Bones II”. Detected that they are superior to the passive skills you already have. They will automatically be replaced.]

While Zhou Chen was thinking, the system’s announcement sounded in his mind.

“This baldy actually has two passive skills?”

The drop of the skill book was within Zhou Chen’s expectations, but he did not expect that this baldy would have upgraded versions of his two passive skills.

He immediately opened his character interface to look at the changes.

The Copper Skin Iron Bones passive skill’s physical damage reduction had increased from 20% to 30%. The poison of the corpse poison passive skill had also strengthened.

“Since this baldy has two passive skills, the cultivation technique he cultivates should be good.”

Zhou Chen did not think that this person was born with these two rather powerful passive skills. It was most likely obtained from training. It immediately piqued his interest in the cultivation technique. He opened the inventory space to check.

[Green Corpse Sutra

Type: Mid-grade cultivation technique

The initiation into this cultivation technique can allow you to awaken the Poison Elemental True Energy. You can also grasp the Corpse Refining Art to strengthen your physique. At partial mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Master. At full mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Grandmaster.]

“It’s indeed not a trashy cultivation technique. It’s a middle-grade one.”

The mid-grade cultivation technique had already satisfied Zhou Chen’s minimum requirement, but he did not like the style of this cultivation technique. He did not want to train himself into a green bald head.

“I wonder how far this Green Corpse Sect elder has trained this technique. He shouldn’t have reached full mastery; otherwise, I would have died.”

Zhou Chen felt that killing this bald old man was not too difficult, so he felt that if he was at the level of the full mastery of the Green Corpse Sutra, then this Green Corpse Sutra would be too weak.

Moreover, he felt that this bald old man’s moves were not particularly exquisite. He did not feel any grandmaster demeanor from them. Instead, the old man felt like some insidious people who could not come out in the open.

“I have to check the information of this Green Corpse Sect. Their elder is hiding in the wilderness, and his strength is not even as strong as mine. Something might be going on in this sect.”

Zhou Chen felt that the situation of the Green Corpse Sect was definitely not good. Otherwise, an elder would not be waiting in the wilderness for a disciple to deliver materials and recruit anyone he saw. If they had the strength, they could just occupy a city and charge protection fees.

While he was thinking, Zhou Chen had already searched the corpse of the baldy and obtained two silver ingots, a silver note, and a token. action

There was no need to talk about the silver note and silver ingots. He directly pocketed them. As for the token, it seemed to be an identity token of their sect. It was carved from a bone that was covered in unknown patterns, and the word “Elder” was engraved on it.

“I should take this token as well. I have to hide his corpse properly, so that his death is not exposed too early.”

After spending some time, Zhou Chen buried the bald old man’s corpse in the mountain. He returned to the carriage and hid the corpse of the swarthy coachman as well. This was necessary. Although their deaths would be exposed sooner or later, it was better if it was discovered as late as possible.

“This coachman has quite a lot of silver pieces. I’ve recouped my losses.”

After gaining some unexpected gains, Zhou Chen tore down the horse carriage and threw it into a pile of grass. Then, he rode the horse back toward the east.

Although he had never ridden a horse, he had seen others ride it. With his extraordinary physique and Beast King passive skill, it was easy to control the horse.

“Old horse, you will follow me from now on. I hope you can live longer…”

Zhou Chen felt that the horse was unlucky to have him as its master. As a Survivor, the system would definitely make trouble for him from time to time. It would not let him live comfortably. If anything happened, this horse might end up in a tragedy.

With the weight of the carriage gone and Zhou Chen gradually figuring out the key to riding a horse, the horse ran more and more smoothly. Before long, Zhou Chen returned to the main path and headed for his previous goal.

He was not in a hurry along the way. When the horse showed signs of exhaustion, he got off the horse and found a place to rest as well as food for the horse.

After moving at a moderate pace for a day, Zhou Chen stepped into his destination in the morning, the large city ruled by the Tyrant Fist Sect: Caelian City.

Caelian City was the largest city near Caelian Mountain. It occupied an area more than twenty times the size of Black Eagle Town. The buildings inside looked much more grand than those in Black Eagle Town, most being more than three stories high. The streets were wider, and pedestrians and horse carriages flowed endlessly. In the core area, one could even see pavilions and towers.

“The city construction is really good. I wonder if the system will use the earthquake trick.”

As he slowly rode the horse in this bustling city, Zhou Chen suddenly recalled a bad memory.

However, the system did not act out this time. He moved on the streets for a long time and did not sense any signs of an earthquake.

“Sugar coated haws! Sugar coated haws! The best sugar coated haws in Caelian City! Don’t miss it!”

“Roasted sweet potatoes! Roasted sweet potatoes! Eat one and fill your stomach; eat two and be energized; eat three and be prosperous!”

“Bull dumplings! Eating them will make you as strong as a bull! One bowl is only ten copper coins!”

…

The peddlers on both sides of the street kept on shouting. Zhou Chen felt a strange sense of familiarity in this environment.

After a while, he rode to a crossroad on the street. In the middle of the intersection was a tall wooden board with many signs filled with words and portraits.

“That bald man’s portrait seems to be familiar…”

He only took a glance before his attention was drawn to a portrait stuck on the wooden board.
