Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 466

Chu kept shaking his head as he read it, so he found a related book on the bookshelf and handed it to Shiwu to take a look.

Morning arrived quickly. Ling Yanyan had cultivated all night and now felt refreshed and looked even more handsome.

Without any of the aftereffects of staying up late, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

His body was surrounded by spiritual energy, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.

Ling Yanyan glanced around at himself. Although his cultivation level hadn't broken through after a night of training, his strength had still increased considerably.

He turned his head slightly to look out the window. It was already broad daylight, which would have been much better in other cities.

The streets were already bustling with activity, with the calls of drivers and vendors filling the air.

However, Happy Town remained quiet, like a remote village in the countryside. Ling Yan Yan was somewhat surprised by this quietness.

But then he realized that Happy Town was not as prosperous as it used to be.

Moreover, the people here are very happy, so naturally they don't want to get up early. Life here is very easy.

If Ling Yanyan lived here regularly, he wouldn't want to work from dawn till dusk.

After washing up, Ling Yanyan left his room, where three paper figures were still dutifully guarding the door.

Seeing this, Ling Yan Yan smiled slightly and waved his hand. The three paper figures transformed back into light, floating paper and flew back into his sleeve.

Seeing that no one else had gotten up yet, Ling Yanyan went to the backyard and began exercising.

As time slowly passed, the sun came out.

Only then did faint sounds come from outside, restoring the town's vitality.

At this moment, Zhang Dadan and Xu Zhenren had already gotten up.

After they tidied themselves up, they originally intended to go to Ling Yanyan's room to find him and ask what he was going to do today.

But as she walked down the corridor, she saw Ling Yanyan exercising through the window.

Ling Yanyan wasn't just exercising casually; he was practicing swordsmanship. Holding a peach wood sword, Ling Yanyan looked decisive and exuded an extraordinary aura.

When Zhang Dadan saw it, his mouth dropped open. He had never seen such fierce swordsmanship before.

"Master Ling is truly amazing!"

Xu Zhenren, who was also a Taoist, greatly admired Ling Yanyan. Although he exercised regularly, he could never master Ling Yanyan's swordsmanship.

I wish I could learn it myself.

After exercising for a while, Ling Yanyan put away his peach wood sword. He had already noticed Xu Zhenren and Zhang Dadan watching him.

There was no need for Ling Yanyan to interrupt his training, so he ignored it.

After finishing his workout, Ling Yanyan walked towards the two of them.

After the three finished their meal, they did not stay at the inn but headed towards the Ma Yi Gate.

Ling Yanyan decided to learn about the Ma Yi Sect today.

After three hundred years of expansion, the Ma Yi Sect has declined more and more, and has not grown as big as the Ma Yi Ancestor had imagined.

Instead, things have gotten worse and worse, with many members of the Ma Yi Sect even going hungry.

After Ling Yanyan and his group entered the Ma Yi Sect, someone quickly discovered their presence and informed Chu Yi and Shiwu.

Chu Yi and Shiwu didn't expect Ling Yanyan to come to Ma Yi Men so quickly.

They rushed over to greet Ling Yanyan.

Chu Yi wasn't familiar with Ling Yanyan yet, since they had never met before. It was Shiwu who had a good chat with him yesterday.

Upon meeting Ling Yanyan, they were very enthusiastic.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, you've arrived."

Ling Yanyan chuckled and said in a friendly manner, "Yes, I've heard about the Hemp Robe Sect before. If I don't come and visit it now that I'm in Happy Town, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

His words were very clever. Even Chu Yi, who wasn't initially very fond of Ling Yan Yan, had a much better impression of him.

"Haha, don't worry, Mai-men will definitely not let you down. Come in and sit down."

Fifteen smiled and said to Ling Yanyan.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yi started chatting with Ling Yanyan, extending his hand in a friendly gesture.

"Hello, my name is Chu Yi, and I am the senior of Shi Wu."

Ling Yanyan replied politely, "Hello, I've heard Fifteen mention you before, you're very capable."

Seeing Ling Yanyan praising him so highly, Chu Yi felt a little embarrassed and became even more polite to him.

Next, they went to offer incense to the ancestral master.

The three of them saw Chu Yi holding five incense sticks, kneeling on the ground and saying something before kowtowing three times.

Then he stood up and inserted the five incense sticks he had been holding into the incense burner.

After the incense offerings were completed on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, it was Ling Yanyan's turn.

The incense offered by Ling Yanyan is different from that offered on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month; they only need to offer three sticks.

He held three incense sticks, bowed respectfully to the memorial tablet, and then placed the three incense sticks in the incense burner.

Next came Master Xu and Zhang Dadan, but something unexpected happened.

After everyone had finished offering incense, the incense offered on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month turned into three long and two short incense sticks.

The same applies to Ling Yanyan and his group's incense sticks, except that there were three sticks, resulting in three long and two short sticks.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chu Yi's face instantly turned grim; he hadn't expected something like this to happen today.

Moreover, it wasn't just the two of them; even the incense offered by Ling Yanyan, Xu Zhenren, and Zhang Dadan was abnormal.
