Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 33: Delivery

“Hello, good day, is this Mr. Fang?”

“I’m from Tong—Tong something. Sorry, it’s my first time delivering; let me check which delivery company I’m from.”

Fang Zheng went downstairs and successfully received his package. 

Fang Zheng was a little excited. He could not wait to tear open the package of his new baby from Xbao. 

Today was the day after he encountered the two halves of a body as well as the incident at the carnival. 

The parcel was pretty heavy. At the guardhouse, Captain Liu asked if Fang Zheng bought a brick or a dumbbell online. The package seemed that heavy. 

Kacha! Kacha! The sharp scissors cut through layers of waterproof wrapping before a kraft paper box popped out. The box was cut up, and its contents were revealed soon after. 

The Innate Qigong, Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation, Nine Yang Divine Power, and Burning Sun Special Skill. 

Four books for skill-training. 

Flaming Wooden Blade Skill, Eight Trigrams Blade Skill. 

Two books for blade skills. 

This time, Fang Zheng intentionally avoided Buddhism-related books. The three books he had blindly gotten the last time were all Buddhism-related! Books related to the martial arts were as vast as the sands of the Ganges, and there were more genres of the art than just Buddhism. It was just his luck that all three of the books he had blindly gotten were Buddhism-related. That was probably a curse on him to not marry for the rest of his life. 

Fang Zheng had yet to live his sinful life to the fullest: the beautiful girls, the food, the games, and the movies. It was impossible for him to give up all of that to become a monk! 

Neither would he in his next life! 

The kraft paper was torn farther: Mantra of the Five Lightning, Divine-Crushing Mantra, Fiend Breaker Tongues. 

They were three Daoist skills for exorcism purposes. 

Moral Scripture, Yellow Yard Scripture, Diamond Sutra. 

Three collections of Daoist books. 

There were a total of 12 books; they were all bought at RMB9.90 per copy on Xbao excluding delivery charges. 

You could buy anything you could ever think of on Xbao. If you were loaded enough, even helicopters were available online for purchase. 

However, the prices of Moral Scripture, Yellow Yard Scripture, and Diamond Sutra were a little higher. Each collection was over 200 yuan, and that was excluding delivery charges. Fang Zheng’s heart ached for quite some time. 

When Fang Zheng tore the package apart and found that there were a few thick books in each of the three collections, he felt regretful all of a sudden… The dense texts made him feel a little upset from just looking at them. 

Nonetheless, Fang Zheng could not help but pick up the Moral Scripture excitedly.

His lips curved as fantasies began floating around in his mind. 

However, an hour later…

Fang Zheng sighed. The smile was wiped off his face as he arranged the Moral Scripture, Yellow Yard Scripture, Diamond Sutra, Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation, Divine-Crushing Mantra, and Fiend Breaker Tongues before putting them in a box and sealing it with tape. 

It was the first time the Human Skin Scripture had failed to evolve. 

All six books above failed to do so. 

However, it was not technically a failure. It was just that during its evolution, the Human Skin Scripture had no reaction. 

Fang Zheng could not understand it. 

The fact that the Moral Scripture, Yellow Yard Scripture, and Diamond Sutra failed to evolve was still comprehensible: they were Daoist and Buddhist scriptures. They were not rare books. 

He was only trying it out; he did not have too high of an expectation about it. It was normal to fail. 

However, even the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation, Divine-Crushing Mantra, and Fiend Breaker Tongues had failed to evolve. Fang Zheng frowned in thought. ‘Could it be that Daoist skills were above the rare books of the martial arts world?

‘Could it be that one was of intermediate skill and the other was low; one was focused on cultivation and the other was on martial arts?’

Maybe he needed to collect more clouds of Gray Qi in the future before he was able to evolve these Daoist skills. At the end of the day, it was because he was poor! Poor! Poor! 

Fang Zheng had watched a video where:

A rich kid had a beautiful girlfriend, but he was afraid that she was with him for his money. Hence, he decided to lie to his girlfriend that he only had an Audi A6, a 100 square meter house, and a few hundred thousand yuan stored in his bank card. Well! That was the poorest he thought a person could be…

Poof!

This was how Fang Zheng felt at the moment—heartbroken. 

‘Gold was indeed king!’

Fang Zheng looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle. He was pondering about how being rich was always better than being poor. 

Fang Zheng looked back at the neatly arranged books as he sighed. 

Innate Qigong, Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation, Nine Yang Divine Power, Burning Sun Special Skill, Flaming Wooden Blade Skill, and Eight Trigrams Blade Skill.

There were six rare books. 

There were some of the Jin Yong Series and others of the Huang Yi Series; he had arranged them according to a ranking created by netizens. They were all wiping out the series that were ranked higher.

Innate Qigong was one of the top skills in the Jin Yong Series. It was the origin of martial arts. It possessed restless and endless Qi, and it could cure all diseases, adjust deficiencies, balance the yin and yang, heal serious internal injuries, and more. It integrated the true Qi with the nourishing Qi. 

Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was another top skill in the Jin Yong Series. It was also among the top three Divine Skills. 

Nine Yang Divine Power, a top skill in the Jin Yong Series as well; Fang Zheng bought this from Xbao as he was a fan of its Yang-based pure Qi. It could work together with his Golden Immune Arhat.

Burning Sun Special Skill, a top skill in the Huang Yi Series, was also a Yang-based pure Qi. It had the same functions as ‘Nine Yang Divine Power’.

‘But! 

‘These were all fake! Fake! Fake!’

He had to repeat important information thrice. 

Fang Zheng felt like he was suffering from too many choices as he stared at the four skill-training books neatly arranged in front of him. It was as if they were spreading their legs waiting for him to grace them. 

If he had four parts of the runes right now, he would not be in this position. 

He only had three parts at the moment. 

Fang Zheng had no choice but to begin his elimination process while silently complaining about it. It was a must to choose the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation. 

This was one of the top three Divine Skills.

It was also a must to choose Nine Yang Divine Power given its Yang-based pure Qi. It could be paired with the Golden Immune Arhat; together with its endless pure Qi and the extraordinary mellowness of its true Qi, this was the best choice for practicing internal strength. 

He only had one part of the runes left. 

However, he had four books before him: Innate Qigong, Burning Sun Special Skill, Flaming Wooden Blade Skill, and Eight Trigrams Blade Skill. 

What a headache. 

Fang Zheng wanted to practice his internal strength, but he could not let go of picking up blade skills. 

If he did not pick up blade skills, it would mean that the evolution of the Death’s Head Blade was a waste. 

This would hurt as much as buying a pair of white shoes before spending money again to buy a pair of white pants. 

‘Teeth-gritting!’

Fang Zheng eventually settled for Flaming Wooden Blade Skill. He wanted to perfect his skills as soon as possible. He had to hunt for more Gray Qi; if he delayed his progress because of greed, he might as well not practice it at all. It was a priority to perfect his blade skills and increase his level of attack skills. 

However, he did not know if both the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation and Nine Yang Divine Power could be evolved. 

Fang Zheng had a decided gaze. 

He chose to evolve them without a doubt!
