Funeral Rewards, Two Cultivation Methods!

Bai Yu's elegy actually made the deceased close his eyes.

Someone with sharp eyes noticed this and tugged at the person next to them:

"Look quickly, Young Master Zhang has closed his eyes."

Soon, it spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone in the field noticed.

"Unbelievable, Young Master Zhang hasn't closed his eyes for so long, but now he's directly shut his eyelids."

"This is a good thing, it means he's let go of his worries."

"This young man playing the suona is too amazing, a single tune can bring peace to people's minds."

Daoist Lin Jiu nodded repeatedly:

"Little Bai's suona playing has already taken on a sense of artistic conception, and has the miraculous effect of suppressing souls and calming the mind."

"I really don't know how he comprehended it at such a young age."

Liu Yiqu lay to the side, looking at Bai Yu in disbelief.

"Divine intent, the music he plays actually has a soul-suppressing divine intent!"

"I've been playing the suona for thirty years, and I haven't even touched the edge of divine intent."

The most shocked were Patriarch Zhang's family.

Madam Zhang threw herself on the coffin:

"My son, you can finally rest in peace."

"Go well, and don't be so competitive in the next life."

Patriarch Zhang let out a long sigh.

"Good, good, good, my son can leave in peace."

"Come, reward him! Reward this young suona master with twenty taels of silver, and the other musicians with five taels."

At this moment, Bai Yu didn't notice the reactions of the others.

He was attracted by a message on the panel.

[Family satisfaction exceeds 50%, you can choose one additional reward.]

There's even such a thing!

Bai Yu was secretly delighted.

The rewards from Young Master Zhang are all extraordinary items, this is simply too good.

Next, the funeral proceeded smoothly.

Bai Yu and many musicians took turns playing mourning music for three days.

Finally, Young Master Zhang was buried in a feng shui treasure land behind the Mortuary.

After the funeral, Bai Yu returned to his room and began to choose his rewards.

[Successful funeral!]

[Funeral participation 69%, family satisfaction 77%, you can choose two additional rewards!]

[Rewards obtained: Blood Essence +25, Life Experience +151.]

[Optional rewards: Swimming Dragon Palm, Overlord Fist, Flying Cloud Thirteen Swords, Soaring Step, Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art, Art of Subduing Women.]

The cultivation techniques that Young Master Zhang practiced were all of very good quality.

At the very least, they were Yellow Rank, Middle Grade.

Bai Yu thought about it and chose Soaring Step and Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art.

One is a Yellow Rank, Middle Grade lightness skill, and the other is a Yellow Rank, High Grade Qi concealment technique.

As a being seeking Eternal Life, one must be able to run, and two must be able to hide their trump cards.

Lightness skills and Qi concealment techniques are essential.

With these two cultivation techniques, Bai Yu's ability to protect his life greatly increased.

As for Swimming Dragon Palm, Overlord Fist, and Flying Cloud Thirteen Swords, although their quality is extremely high, Bai Yu already has alternative cultivation techniques.

If he were to re-cultivate, he would have to spend a lot of effort.

After receiving the rewards, two streams of information appeared in Bai Yu's mind.

The two cultivation techniques seemed to be engraved in his mind, impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

At this time, Bai Yu's attribute panel changed to:

[Name: Bai Yu.]

[Aptitude: 5]

[Blood Essence: 56]

[Strength: 62]

[Cultivation: Second Rank Muscle Forging Realm.]

[Technique: Five Elements Fist (Proficient, 331/1000)]

[Martial Skills: Soul Severing Blade (Glimpse of the Doorway), Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art (No Entry), Soaring Step (No Entry)]

[Divine Power: Eternal Life.]

[Other Skills: Essence Nourishing Powder (No Entry), Suona Playing (Mastery), Literacy (Glimpse of the Doorway), Hunting (Glimpse of the Doorway), Meng's Herbal Compendium (Glimpse of the Doorway).]

In addition, Bai Yu had accumulated more than 300 points of Life Experience, for unforeseen circumstances.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and spent 20 points of Life Experience to raise the Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art and Soaring Step to the level of Glimpse of the Doorway.

The information about the techniques in his mind became clearer, and he had a new understanding of the two techniques.

Bai Yu adopted a strange stance, as if he were a large turtle standing upright.

He maintained this posture, as if in a meditative state, and his breathing became almost imperceptible.

Most surprisingly, the aura around him began to converge.

That surging Bloodline Power became silent, eventually becoming the same as an ordinary person.

From the outside, Bai Yu was now just an ordinary person with handsome features, with nothing unusual except for the extra muscles on his body.

Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with joy.

With the Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art, it would be much easier to handle matters in the future.

After all, the first rule of the Cautious Path is to fight above one's level.

The Mystic Tortoise Breath Concealment Art can perfectly conceal one's strength, it's simply perfect.

Bai Yu circulated it several more times, eventually concealing his aura to around First Rank Flesh Refinement.

He wasn't in a hurry, repeatedly pondering and using the concealment art, to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Little Bai, Little Bai, come out quickly, the feast is about to begin."

Zhu Tong's excited voice came over.

Bai Yu opened the door, and Zhu Tong excitedly handed over half a string of copper coins.

"The funeral is over, Patriarch Zhang is very satisfied, the Mortuary gets five hundred Wen in reward per person."

Bai Yu took the copper coins, secretly sighing that the Zhang family was indeed rich.

Their reward was five months' salary for him.

Zhu Tong pulled Bai Yu:

"Let's go, let's go, the feast is about to begin, Patriarch Zhang specifically ordered today that he wants to offer you a cup of wine."

They hadn't walked a few steps when a person leaning on a crutch glared fiercely at Bai Yu.

Liu Yiqu!

He almost ruined the Zhang family's funeral and was dragged out and beaten by the Zhang family's servants that day.

The funeral was almost over before he could get out of bed.

Liu Yiqu stopped Bai Yu and asked fiercely:

"Boy, did you do something to me when you were playing the suona earlier?"

Bai Yu smiled faintly:

"Liu Yiqu, don't fool yourself. Tell me, how long has it been since you last played the suona? Even the suona reed has grown copper rust."

"You've been indulging in wine and women recently, haven't you? How much breath do you have left in your chest?"

Bai Yu's Meng's Herbal Compendium had already reached the entry level, so he could be considered a half-baked doctor.

He could tell at a glance that Liu Yiqu's body had been hollowed out.

The suona is all about the breath in the chest, requiring long-lasting stamina.

Liu Yiqu's condition would definitely not allow him to play the entire piece.

Of course, there were things that Bai Yu didn't expect.

Liu Yiqu was so weak, and he was working so hard at the time, that he ran out of breath before he could finish the piece.

Bai Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Yiqu and left with Zhu Tong.

Liu Yiqu stopped in place, touching the suona at his waist, and sure enough, a layer of copper rust had grown on the reed.

He became fierce:

"I've been hurt by wine and women, and I'm so haggard!"

"From today on, I'll quit drinking!"

Inside and outside the Mortuary, hundreds of tables of banquets were set up.

Ordinary guests ate at outdoor banquets, while distinguished guests had banquet seats in private rooms.

As a menial servant, Bai Yu wouldn't normally have been qualified to enter.

However, Patriarch Zhang had specifically requested to have a drink with Bai Yu, so naturally, he couldn't be left sitting outside.

Thus, Bai Yu sat at a table with Manager Wu, Daoist Lin Jiu, and others.

Patriarch Zhang truly came over with a wine cup in hand and had a drink with Bai Yu.

This greatly boosted Bai Yu's reputation, and he vaguely gained the nicknames "Bai Yiqu" and "Bai Soul Severing."

Of course, Bai Yu naturally didn't care about these empty names.

After finishing his drink, he buried his head in the food.

Then, he pondered when Patriarch Zhang would make good on that twenty taels of silver.
