Extracting Entries While Fishing Corpses from the Wuding River

This is another example of someone trying to profit from the situation; these kinds of novels could practically be considered part of the entire funeral industry chain.

What's wrong with Qidian these days? The recommendation list is full of trash books. It's hard to find a decent one. Ugh!

The opening section, about retrieving corpses, started with bizarre events: ghost marriages, mule spirits, demands for titles, and the adoptive father mentioning poisonous gods and Buddhas. I initially thought it was some kind of supernatural story, but it got increasingly outrageous.

Pitiful bones lie on the banks of the Wuding River, where pig's feet have come to retrieve the corpses. 😜

Slaying demons, carving monuments, carrying coffins, sewing corpses, retrieving corpses… Fellow cultivators, please add to this list. 😡

If the loot is based on the corpse's level in life, then how powerful is this river? Someone who's almost at max level dies here, are you sure you, a trash mortal, dare to fish for their corpse here?! Isn't this a forbidden area or a ruin?! Everyone in the mortal world would slap you to death, daring to compete with us for corpses?!

Corpse retrievers, according to custom, patrol the river at midnight every night to retrieve floating corpses. Upon seeing a corpse, they light incense to revive the spirit, then dive in to retrieve it. After retrieval, they surround the body with a net and tug it behind the boat. Once on shore, they use a tugboat to tow it back to await family identification.

There's a rule in the body retrieval industry: you can't retrieve bodies with split ends, bodies that have been dead for two and a half years, bodies wearing overalls, or bodies that loved playing basketball. Retrieving a body from a body is considered a major taboo, and symptoms include auditory hallucinations (hearing roosters crowing, constantly seeing your feet turning into chicken horns). The full onset of these symptoms will occur within two and a half days.

The enemies are always stronger than the protagonist; the protagonist's leveling up depends entirely on the plot; and even if the protagonist can't defeat the enemy, someone will always come to their rescue, leading to a power-up and a sudden power surge.

I've read over 200 chapters. Actually, I think the points that everyone found particularly problematic are alright. But with over 200 photos here, it's really unbearable. After the Prince of Yan fled, instead of immediately giving chase, they insisted on waiting. They finally found him, only to discover he wasn't in the right state of mind.
