It was daytime, and the small street in the ancient town was bustling with people, very lively. However, despite the numerous passersby, no one noticed that in a quiet corner of the street, a figure had silently appeared, enveloped in a faint light curtain. Although this layer of light looked pale and thin, it seemed to isolate the entire world.

Special Reminder: As a cycler participating in the game, you have privileges granted by the cycle. In each cycle, you have three opportunities. When you kill a character from the plot, you can choose to extract their abilities and double upgrade one of the skills...

In the instant of regaining consciousness, the mind began to receive a continuous stream of cycle information, including the plot of this cycle, the life experiences of the main characters, and what Jiang Chen had obtained, though not all, but about eighty percent. The moment the light curtain disappeared, he understood where he was.

Compared to the previous two worlds, this world was clearly different, as it had ghosts, monsters, and zombies, a cycle world filled with supernatural and mysterious elements.

The beginning of the entire cycle plot can be traced back to twenty years ago. At that time, Old Master Ren coerced and bribed a feng shui master to obtain a piece of feng shui treasure land. Following the feng shui master's advice, he was buried there. Before his death, he instructed his son Ren Fa to exhume and relocate his grave after twenty years for the benefit of his descendants.

The nearby mortuary guardian, Uncle Nine, was invited to help with the matter. When the coffin was opened, seeing that Old Master Ren's body had not decayed, Uncle Nine became suspicious and ordered his disciples, Wencai and Qiusheng, to watch carefully. Late at night, Old Master Ren's body transformed into a zombie, killing his son Ren Fa. Wencai was poisoned by the zombie while protecting Ren Fa's daughter, Ren Tingting, and almost turned into a zombie himself.

Qiusheng was bewitched by a loving female ghost. Uncle Nine, seeing that the female ghost had no ill intentions and had saved Qiusheng from the zombie, let her go. When the zombie Old Master Ren came to Uncle Nine's house to bite his granddaughter, Uncle Nine and his disciple Qiusheng together tried to subdue the zombie. However, the zombie was too strong, and the two could not handle it. Just as Uncle Nine was about to be defeated, his junior brother, Four-Eyed Taoist, who made a living transporting corpses, arrived. The three of them worked together to finally burn the zombie to death.

The entire cycle plot, though simple in description, actually involved many intricate elements, concerning ghosts and spirits. Even though Jiang Chen was a martial arts expert, he had no confidence in dealing with ghosts and monsters, after all, each profession has its own expertise, and he did not possess the skills to catch ghosts and monsters.

Thinking about this, a flash of insight came to Jiang Chen's mind, and he suddenly realized that the cycles he had experienced actually followed a certain pattern:

For example, in the initial Divine Carving world, he was introduced to ancient martial arts, and in the second cycle world, he was introduced to national martial arts. In this third cycle world, he would be introduced to ghost and monster magic!

Such an arrangement aimed to expose him to various cultivation methods from different worlds, while also guiding him to seek his own path of cultivation.

Unconsciously, the light curtain in front of him had disappeared, signifying that Jiang Chen had officially entered this bizarre and mysterious supernatural world.

With each breath, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. Jiang Chen could clearly feel that in this world, his true qi was not suppressed at all. It made sense, a world that could withstand magic, let alone ancient martial arts true qi. His dan qi and gang qi were both at their peak.

"With my current strength, the only threat in the entire cycle plot should be the zombie transformed from Old Master Ren. Apart from that, the loving female ghost Qiusheng attracted is not much of a danger!"

Jiang Chen analyzed the potential dangers he might encounter in the plot, and then began to plan his next steps: "Putting aside the main task for now, the most urgent thing is to learn Mount Mao magic. The most direct and simplest way is to find Uncle Nine and become his disciple. Yes, before that, I need to exchange some money."

Money is not everything, but you have to admit, without money, nothing is possible. With this in mind, Jiang Chen found a pawnshop on the ancient town street, took out some items from the previous cycle world, and exchanged them for several hundred silver dollars. Though the amount was not much, it was a considerable sum in this era.

After finding a restaurant to fill his stomach, Jiang Chen set off for the mortuary. While eating, he had already asked the waiter about the location of the mortuary. Although it was already late, after much consideration, he decided to head to the mortuary immediately.

He had seen the complete plot and knew that on the night Four-Eyed Taoist stayed at Uncle Nine's mortuary, Uncle Nine's two disciples, Qiusheng, would pretend to be a zombie to scare Wencai, which would cause the eight corpses being transported to rise, creating chaos in the mortuary.

This was a great opportunity, and he naturally wanted to show off a bit, while also getting a glimpse of the zombies and the abilities of Uncle Nine and Four-Eyed Taoist. Ideally, he would be able to become Uncle Nine's disciple on the spot.

His martial arts skills were superb, and seeing at night was not a problem. However, being in an unfamiliar place, by the time he reached the mortuary, it was already completely dark. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a panic-stricken cry from inside.

"Truly, timing is everything!" Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and with a step, he leaped over the courtyard wall and entered the mortuary, heading straight for the source of the noise.

The mortuary was not large, with only one courtyard. The side rooms were used for living, and the main hall was used for worshiping the dead and storing corpses. At this moment, the commotion was happening there.

Jiang Chen took a few steps to the front of the hall. Before he could rush in, he saw a young man running out in a panic. Through the young man, he could clearly see that inside the hall, there were many spirit tablets on one side and several coffins on the other. However, what truly dominated the hall now was a group of zombies in Qing dynasty official attire. They were originally transported corpses that had risen and were jumping around, about to burst out of the room.

"These are the zombies?" Jiang Chen was surprised, but fortunately, he had received information from the cycle wristwatch, so he knew that these zombies were actually created by Taoists to temporarily seal the souls of the dead into their bodies to return them to their hometowns.

In essence, zombies were not very dangerous in the short term, but if left for too long, the souls would merge with the bodies, causing a transformation into zombies, which would be just as terrifying.

Zombies are born from the怨气 (yuan qi) and 晦气 (hui qi) of the world. They are immortal, undying, and indestructible, cast out of the six realms of existence by heaven, earth, and humanity. Wandering aimlessly, they have no place to belong, and in their loneliness, they feed on the blood of the living to vent their endless sorrow.

Eastern zombies can generally be divided into two types: Jia Shi and Mao Shi. Jia Shi includes Iron Jia Shi, Copper Jia Shi, Silver Jia Shi, Gold Jia Shi, Gold Jia Shi King, and Drought Corpse. Mao Shi includes White Mao, Green Mao, Red Mao, Purple Mao, Flying Mao, and Hou, most of which are born from the natural environment.

However, there are differences between the two: Mao Shi are mostly formed naturally from the bodies of the dead, while Jia Shi are cultivated by practitioners using secret methods in conjunction with the natural environment. But both are extremely powerful, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, even martial arts experts!

Therefore, seeing the zombies jumping around in the hall about to burst out, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed. He did not want to deal with any more zombies besides Old Master Ren. With a determined heart, he rushed into the hall.

"Back off!" He had no qualms about killing humans, let alone a group of dead people. With a loud shout, he kicked one of the zombies that had already jumped to the door.
