Starting Out as a Sluggish Commoner, I Begin My Path to Martial Divinity as a Corpse Collector

Demons and monsters ran rampant, while martial arts flourished.

Gu Zhi transmigrated to the Great Yong dynasty, only to become an undertaker in Qingshan County, a lowly outcast despised by everyone.

His status was beneath notice, and he had no chance to learn martial arts. His younger sister was frail, and he owed a gang more than twenty taels in usurious debt.

Just as Gu Zhi thought he would spend the rest of his life among the dead, after ten years of collecting corpses, he finally got his own golden finger.

[Ten years of corpse aura, daily settlement unlocks the Path of Insight.]

Collecting corpses granted experience, unexpected gains could be claimed, and he could analyze martial arts from the bodies.

From then on, the corpses everyone else avoided became stepping stones to the peak of martial arts in Gu Zhi's eyes.

Rotten Flesh Palm, Black Tiger Claw...

While others had to train hard for ten years to make any progress, Gu Zhi discovered that all he had to do was collect corpses.

"All I ever wanted was to stay alive."

"But if this world won't let the lowly raise their heads..."

"Then with these hands that collect the dead, I'll fight my way to the summit of martial arts!"
