Previously, Yi Shuihan used cultivation points to exchange for time because he didn't have time. Now, because of the Dragon Blood, he has plenty of time. This time, he plans to cultivate on his own and see what happens. It doesn't matter if he wastes a few years or decades. He will only use cultivation points to break through when he really encounters a bottleneck.

Of course, Yi Shuihan wouldn't just get the basic cultivation method from Uncle Jiu; he would only use it to get started. He couldn't get advanced techniques from Uncle Jiu, but Uncle Jiu wasn't the only one in this world who had techniques. Yi Shuihan wouldn't be so polite to others.

He handed the dragon blood to Uncle Nine, who drank half of it on the spot. He then put the rest in a jade bottle, clearly intending to use it for something else.

"It really is real dragon blood." Uncle Nine felt his body was completely different from before, with incredibly abundant energy, as if he had become decades younger. Of course, this was just his illusion. Yi Shuihan had not lied to him. All the dragon blood was enough to extend his life by 10 years. He had drunk half of it, and now he had only extended his life by 5 years.

Of course, besides the extension of his lifespan, Uncle Nine also gained some other benefits. Originally, because of his advanced age, his cultivation speed was getting slower and slower, and he probably would never be able to break through in his lifetime. Now, after being baptized by the dragon blood, there is a possibility that he can break through. At that time, it is not impossible for him to extend his lifespan by several decades.

"I plan to stay here for a while. I wonder if Uncle Jiu knows if anyone has a house for sale nearby." Having gotten what he wanted, Yi Shuihan still had no intention of leaving and planned to settle down in the vicinity, since he didn't really want to go anywhere else.

Besides, even though you have Uncle Nine's notes, you can still ask the nearest person directly when you encounter a real situation!

Uncle Jiu originally wanted to suggest that they stay at his place, but when his eyes suddenly caught sight of Yi Shuihan's clothes, he remembered that Yi Shuihan was either rich or noble and might not be used to staying there, so he gave up the idea.

“I haven’t paid attention to that either.” As a Taoist priest, Uncle Jiu only goes out to perform rituals every day and cultivates at home, so he naturally doesn’t pay attention to other things. “How about this, the day after tomorrow I’m going to help relocate the remains of Master Ren in town. Master Ren has a lot of connections in town, so I’ll ask him for you then.”

"Relocating the burial? I have a favor to ask, could you take me to see it?" Yi Shuihan said after thinking for a moment.

Uncle Jiu readily agreed and suggested that Yi Shuihan could stay with him for two days, which Yi Shuihan naturally did not refuse.

In fact, Yi Shuihan doesn't even need to buy a house. As long as there is vacant land, he can easily build a villa. However, since Yi Shuihan plans to live here long-term, he doesn't want to be too high-profile. If people see him, they might think he is a god or something, which could cause unnecessary trouble.

"Come here, Qiusheng, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Yi. You can call him Brother Yi. He'll be staying here for a few days, so please get along well with him," Uncle Jiu said seriously.

Qiu Sheng glanced at Yi Shuihan, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. His aunt was Yan Zhi's, and he often helped her. Unlike Wen Cai, he was quite knowledgeable, but Yi Shuihan was more noble than anyone he had ever met. Whether it was her clothes or her temperament, she gave people an extraordinary feeling. In fact, Qiu Sheng felt that he was more than a head shorter than Yi Shuihan.

"I am Qiusheng. Hello, Brother Yi. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely help if I can." Qiusheng's tone was not as casual as usual, which made Uncle Jiu, who was standing to the side, nod secretly, knowing that Qiusheng had also seen Yi Shuihan's extraordinary nature.

Yi Shuihan nodded, took out a finely crafted pistol from his pocket, and said, "Since you call me Brother Yisheng, I can't accept this title for nothing. I'll give this to you. Things are a little better now than before, but they're still quite chaotic. With this, you can use it for self-defense if anything happens."

Upon seeing the pistol handed over by Yi Shuihan, Qiu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to take it, but suddenly he remembered something and looked at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Nine didn't speak, but instead seemed a little embarrassed. He had seen guns before, but compared to the one in Yi Shuihan's hand, they were nothing. He knew that the pistol Yi Shuihan had taken out was definitely not an ordinary thing. Giving such a precious item to his disciple made Uncle Nine, who already felt he had taken advantage of Yi Shuihan, feel very embarrassed.

"This thing is nothing precious to me." To prove his point, Yi Shuihan took out several identical pistols from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Alright then! Qiusheng, since this is a gift from your brother Yi, you should accept it." Uncle Jiu finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng swiftly took the pistol and held it in his hand with great delight.

"Master!" Wen Cai, who was standing to the side, saw Qiu Sheng's pistol and looked at Uncle Jiu with great envy. However, he did not dare to say that he wanted it directly.

Yi Shuihan smiled slightly and said, "Wencai, you can take one too."

"Why don't you thank Young Master Yi?" Uncle Nine said to Wen Cai in an annoyed tone.

Wen Cai took the pistol with a look of surprise and then thanked Yi Shuihan repeatedly with a simple and honest expression.

"Do you know how to use it? This thing is quite powerful; if you don't use it properly, something bad could happen."

It's definitely going to cause trouble. This is a specially manufactured pistol that Yi Shuihan obtained from the Marine Headquarters in the One Piece world. It looks the same as the Desert Eagle, but its power is comparable to a hand cannon. Yi Shuihan estimated that one shot would be enough to shatter a half-meter-thick stone wall.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai both shook their heads, indicating that they would not.

"Let me teach you. Follow me."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he walked outside.

Chapter 213, Teaching You How to Shoot

"Look carefully, this is the safety mechanism. Just turn it on when you need to use it, and it's best to turn it off if you don't need to use it." Yi Shuihan said while demonstrating. "The rest is simple. Just determine your target and then pull the trigger."

"It's so simple!" Wen Cai said blankly, while Qiu Sheng looked at Yi Shui Han speechlessly.

Even Uncle Nine had a strange expression on his face at this moment.

Yi Shuihan completely ignored the three men's gazes, pointed his gun at a large tree not far away, and pulled the trigger.

"boom"

A deafening sound rang out, and the ground trembled slightly. The sound made Uncle Nine and the other two feel their ears ringing and their heads spinning.

"gollum"

Wen Cai stared blankly at the large tree not far away, which had been blasted to pieces. If it weren't for the charred surroundings, it would be impossible to tell that there had ever been a tree there.

"Brother Yi... Brother Yi, this power is..." Qiu Sheng pointed at the location of the big tree, his words trailing off, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yes, its power is a bit weak, only enough to deal with ordinary people, but it's enough for you," Yi Shuihan said calmly.

Yi Shuihan's words stunned Uncle Jiu. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also looked at Yi Shuihan in shock. In their eyes, the pistol's power had already broken through the sky, yet it received such a evaluation. Just how powerful was the "acceptable" power in Yi Shuihan's eyes?

"This isn't just weak, it's incredibly powerful," Uncle Nine said, his voice filled with disbelief. "It'd be more than enough to deal with zombies!"

"Enough to deal with zombies?" Qiu Sheng thought to himself as he heard this. "With this, why bother learning Taoist magic?" Of course, Qiu Sheng would not say this aloud.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this gun only has 6 bullets, so it can only be used 6 times. You have to use it sparingly. Also, the recoil is quite strong. Don't be fooled by how easily I use it; that's because I'm physically fit. If you're using it, you should use both hands and don't use it continuously. Otherwise, don't blame me if you ruin your hands."

Yi Shuihan had quite a few bullets, but he didn't plan to give any more to Qiu Sheng and the others.

"Come on, let's try them all, otherwise we won't be able to use them later without any results."

However, neither Qiu Sheng nor Wen Cai made a move.

"There are only 6 shots, so let's not bother trying!" Wen Cai said softly. Qiu Sheng, who was standing next to him, also remained silent, clearly having the same thought.

Uncle Nine walked up to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, slapped each of them hard on the head, and said with a laugh, "Just try it. If something really goes wrong, you'll have nowhere to cry."

"Yes, master."

Wencai and Qiusheng had no choice but to agree, though they still looked reluctant.

"Alright, I'll give each of you two magazines. Shoot with confidence."

Yi Shuihan couldn't stand it any longer, so he took out a magazine and even demonstrated how to load it.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Now Wencai and Qiusheng no longer hesitated, and their eyes were even filled with excitement.

"I'll come first!"

Wen Cai said in a simple and honest way, took two steps forward, and imitated Yi Shuihan, released the safety, then raised the gun and aimed at another tree not far away.

"Two hands!"

Uncle Nine's voice rang out, looking at Wen Cai with a hint of disappointment.

"Oh!" Wencai quickly switched from using one hand to using two.

"I did hit it!"

After a few seconds,

"I really did hit him!"

A few more seconds passed

"This time I'm really going to fire."

Just when Uncle Nine was about to give Wen Cai a beating, with a loud bang, Wen Cai finally fired his gun.

"Wow, that's amazing, Qiusheng, Master, look, I hit it!" Wen Cai exclaimed happily, pointing to a pile of ruins not far away, just like a child.

"How do you feel?"

Upon hearing his master's question, Wen Cai finally felt the soreness in his hands. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It hurts a bit. Brother Yi didn't lie to us; we really need both hands."

Next, Qiu Sheng tested the power of the pistol, which naturally produced another loud bang. Fortunately, the place was in a very remote location, so others only thought it was thunder; otherwise, they would have been surrounded by onlookers.

Back in the house,

Having received gifts from Yi Shuihan, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai are now extremely kind to him, serving him tea and wiping his chairs as if he were their master.

"These two brats aren't usually this diligent," Uncle Nine said with a hint of sourness.

Two days later,

Yi Shuihan followed Uncle Jiu and the others to the grave of Ren Fa's father, located halfway up the western hill.

After offering incense and handling some basic matters, Ren Fa came to Uncle Jiu's side, intending to discuss the feng shui of his father's tomb. Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng followed behind Uncle Jiu, half a step behind, while Yi Shui Han walked parallel to Uncle Jiu.

Ren Fa looked at Yi Shuihan, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and asked Uncle Jiu first, "Could this be Uncle Jiu's newly accepted disciple?"

"If only it were true, but no, it's like this, this gentleman is..." Uncle Nine immediately explained Yi Shuihan's identity and purpose.

"Looking for a place? Leave it to me. I'll take care of it as soon as I'm done. Don't be shy." Ren Fa readily agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ren." Uncle Nine nodded and smiled.

After that, Uncle Nine started doing his job and discussed the relocation of the graves with Ren Fa.

"Has Mr. Ren made up his mind? Moving the grave is a very serious matter that is not easily resolved."

“If there were no other way, I wouldn’t want to either. Actually, the thing is, the feng shui master who looked at my father’s feng shui said that I should wait 20 years before relocating the burial.”

"I see. At least he has a conscience."

"What? Is something wrong with this?"

"The 'dragonfly skimming water' technique requires snowflakes to cover the top of the coffin so that the head of the coffin can touch the water to be effective. Using cement will not only be ineffective but will also have the opposite effect, negatively impacting future generations. That's why I said he has a conscience; he'll only harm you for 20 years, not a lifetime, and harm one generation, not countless descendants."

Hearing Uncle Nine's explanation, Ren Fa's expression turned ugly, but he didn't say anything. He was also at fault for what happened back then. He had forcibly taken the acupoint, so others had their reasons for treating him this way.

Chapter 214, Incredibly Powerful

Finally, the workers dug out the coffin, and Uncle Nine led everyone to the coffin.

"Open the coffin!"

Just as the workers were about to open the coffin, the cawing of crows suddenly rang out all around. Many birds in the surrounding area seemed to be startled and flew up from the trees, refusing to land for a long time.

The scene immediately conveyed a strong sense of foreboding, making those around feel uneasy.

The coffin was finally opened, and a wisp of black mist was visible to the naked eye coming out of it. However, it seemed that only Uncle Nine and Yi Shuihan could see this black mist, while the others could not see it.

Uncle Nine frowned as he looked at the corpse inside the coffin, which appeared to have just been buried. His eyes were filled with deep worry. Based on his many years of experience, he could tell that if the corpse was not handled properly, it would soon turn into a zombie and wreak havoc on the world.

If it were anyone else, Uncle Nine would definitely suggest cremating the body to prevent future problems, but he knows that it would be very difficult to get Ren Fa to agree to do so, so he is thinking about how to get Ren Fa to agree.

"Uncle Jiu, can this tomb still be used?"

Ren Fa came to Uncle Jiu's side and said softly, clearly indicating that he didn't want to waste the opportunity if it could be used.

"Like a dragonfly skimming the water, one spot at a time, but definitely not in the same spot again; this tomb is already ruined."

"What should we do then?" Ren Fa asked anxiously, as such a good tomb was hard to find.

Uncle Nine shook his head and said to Ren Fa, "It's best to cremate them on the spot, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

“That won’t do. My father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. I can’t let him be burned after he dies.” No one knew what Ren Fa was thinking, though he said those words.

Seemingly seeing through Ren Fa's thoughts, Uncle Jiu stopped trying to persuade him and offered his own suggestion: "In that case, let's take the old master's body back to the mortuary first, and then bury him after a few days when we find a good burial site. What do you think?"

“Let’s do it this way!” Ren Fa nodded in agreement with Uncle Jiu’s suggestion.

After giving a few instructions, Uncle Jiu told Wencai and Qiusheng to get started, and then went down the mountain with Yi Shuihan.

Seeing that Uncle Jiu's brows were furrowed and his worries were written all over his face, Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Jiu, are you troubled by Old Master Ren's matter? If you have any questions, you can tell me. Maybe I can help."

Yi Shuihan could certainly help. In his opinion, this matter could be resolved in no time. Even if this little zombie was stronger than an ordinary zombie and had the potential to become a zombie king, he could still suppress it with a flick of his hand.

"Sigh," Uncle Nine sighed and said, "What I said to Master Ren before was just a temporary measure. Master Ren's appearance will soon turn into a zombie. If this zombie is allowed to be born and sucks the blood of his relatives, even I will be unable to do anything to him. So in the end, we still cremated Master Ren. Moreover, not to mention that good graves are hard to find, even if we find one, the fact that Master Ren has turned into a zombie is irreversible."

"Are zombies that powerful? Even you, Uncle Nine, couldn't handle them?"

"Don't underestimate zombies. Even the most ordinary zombies are impervious to swords and blades, and ordinary firearms are useless against them."

"Even the pistols I gave Qiu Sheng and the others won't work?"

Uncle Jiu was taken aback by Yi Shuihan's words. Thinking of the powerful force of Yi Shuihan's pistol, he became somewhat uncertain. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "It's better to be careful."

It was clear that Uncle Jiu had calmed down considerably; perhaps Yi Shuihan's pistol had given him some confidence.

"Don't worry, if all else fails, I'll take action myself. Zombies are no match for me," Yi Shuihan said magnanimously.

Uncle Nine, however, was unconvinced and did not believe Yi Shuihan's words. He thought that Yi Shuihan had never seen the power of zombies before, which was why he said such a thing.

"Don't be skeptical, I'm a formidable martial artist, incredibly formidable," Yi Shuihan said casually.

"Then I'll really have to rely on you then." Although he said that, Uncle Nine was just being polite. He didn't really intend to ask Yi Shuihan for help. In his eyes, although Yi Shuihan had some extraordinary encounters, he had only just come into contact with Taoist magic. He could deal with ordinary people, but he definitely wouldn't be able to deal with zombies.

These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth! Yi Shuihan could tell that Uncle Jiu was being insincere, but he didn't take it to heart, nor did he have any intention of showing off his fighting skills on the spot. Anyway, he would have his chance to take action later.

Yi Shuihan did not change the plot or his plan to make the zombies disappear without anyone noticing. Instead, he planned to save Master Ren's family at a crucial moment and demonstrate his powerful strength, knowing that Master Ren's connections would come in handy.

Of course, the reason he wanted to save Master Ren was definitely not because Yi Shuihan thought his daughter was beautiful; he was not that kind of superficial person.
