Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 86 Divine Sense Greatly Increased
No matter how fierce or powerful it is, it is still just an ant in this kind of magic array, and its yin energy and resentment are constantly being drawn away.

They became increasingly weak, and even showed signs of degeneration.

This situation is really inconsistent with the title of the alien zombie king, and it doesn't even quite match its eighth-rank advanced level.

Too weak, and their methods are unremarkable.

This puzzled Gu Qing quite a bit. With his energy still spared, he searched through the collection of the Guiyin Taoist and finally found a secret record of corpse refining before he understood.

The Corpse Refining Manual is not a technique or secret art.

It records the Guiyin Taoist's understanding of zombies, as well as the problems and solutions he encountered in refining corpses; it can be considered his experimental notes.

As stated above.

There are three types of zombies: jumping zombies that arise from dark places, blood zombies that arise from blood feuds, and zombie puppets that are artificially created.

Beyond these three categories, there are heterogeneous species.

Generally speaking, zombies in the cultivation world are jumping corpses, with steel bones and immense strength, making them formidable enemies to cultivators at the ninth-grade Foundation Establishment stage.

If given the right opportunity, a jumping corpse can advance to become an armored corpse.

There are three grades: iron, silver, and gold, corresponding to the lower, middle, and upper ranks of an eighth-grade cultivator.

Even stronger, also known as Yaksha, comparable to a top-tier eighth-grade cultivator.

If one can break through to the seventh rank, one becomes a true zombie king, known among cultivators as the Undying Bone King. The strength of its body is comparable to that of a dragon of the same rank, and it can recover quickly even if it is seriously injured.

At this level, no cultivator of the same rank can match it; its ferocious power is overwhelming.

The Yin Money Armored Corpse is essentially an advanced form of the Jumping Corpse, but it has mutated due to absorbing the gloomy energy brought about by the decline of the Qi family's wealth over six generations.

Calling it a different species is a bit of an understatement.

But it does have its unique features, and Gu Qing is quite interested in this method of corpse refining.

Many of the artifact patterns in his evil alchemy techniques are flesh and blood patterns, and very few patterns can be applied to metal and stone artifacts. If he combines corpse alchemy with the methods of artifact alchemy, it might produce good results.

That's a good way to make the best use of resources.

The Yinqian Armored Corpse had only received six months of nurturing. Before becoming a corpse, it was just a mortal shell with a very weak foundation.

The reason why the Guiyin Taoist chose it was for the bloodline of the Qi family, so that by absorbing the blood of her closest relatives, she could turn the bad luck of six generations of wealth reversal into her own.

This just triggered a mutation.

"It's all talk and no action. Taking this kind of shortcut, let alone refining a different kind of zombie king, even its eighth-grade armored zombie rank is unstable."

"The proper way to refine corpses is to use the corpse of a person who has refined their body to perform the spell."

For some reason, Gu Qing suddenly thought of Yue Ming.

He is in very good health.

After taking over the Five Elements Absolute Yin Formation, nothing unexpected happened, and everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

While refining zombies.

Gu Qing took out the Yin Marrow again and held it in his palm, silently absorbing its essence and energy to enhance his spiritual awareness.

in this way.

Three days later.

With its Yin essence completely depleted, two-thirds of the Crimson Crow's divine consciousness transformed into golden fire feathers. Once it fully transforms into the form of a golden crow, it signifies the completion of the third level of the [Fire Star Crimson Crow Diagram].

We can begin working on breaking through to the fourth level.

This surge in spiritual awareness is extremely beneficial.

In contrast, the zombies in the Yin-Severing Formation had lost all their Yin and resentment energy, and had turned back into the corpses of withered old men.

Its entire body is melting; it is not far from extinction.

Li Qiufeng woke up once during the process. Seeing that Gu Qing was handling things very smoothly, he sat down to heal his injuries and recover his energy. Once he was almost fully recovered, he also joined in, further accelerating the demise of the zombies.

And so, two more days passed.

Over five whole days, the Yinqian Armored Corpse completely turned into a puddle of pus, with no possibility of resurrection.

At this time.

Gu Qing slowly got up, stretched, and put away all the array flags and array plates, handing them to Li Qiufeng.

"Senior Brother Li, I've been overexerted these past few days and need to find a place to recover for a while." "I'll leave the task of purifying the Yin energy in Qian County to you."

Li Qiufeng looked embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, junior brother. We're so grateful for your help this time, otherwise we would have been in serious trouble..."

"Leave the task of purifying the Yin energy to me and my two junior sisters."

Like frost and like the moon, they were also exhausted.

Knowing that he relied on Gu Qing for this trip, he was too embarrassed to let Gu Qing continue to work overtime on the subsequent miscellaneous tasks.

"That's how it should be, that's how it should be. Senior Brother Gu, please get some rest."

The four of them had just finished discussing and making a decision.

Qi Qingyu appeared outside the ruins and couldn't help but burst into tears upon seeing the scene.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qing also let out a long sigh.

Those who catch thieves always arrive a step later than the thieves, not because they are not fast enough, but because harming someone is always harder than saving someone.

It's like the old saying: there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.

"Qingyu, things have come to this, please accept my condolences."

Qi Qingyu nodded silently and said.

"Senior Gu, fellow immortal masters, a few days ago after I escaped, I informed the magistrate of Qian County about the matter, and the townspeople of Qijia Town have already gone to Qian County to seek refuge."

"The matter is over, and the government will cooperate with everyone's work."

"Thank you for your help."

"Immortal Master, please don't do this. This whole thing started because the Qi family believed in the nonsense of the heretical sects, which led to this terrible outcome."

Gu Qing pulled Qi Qingyu aside.

"Feng shui can change the fate of mortals, but it is difficult to change the fate of cultivators. In the end, it cannot enter the gate of Taoist arts."

"Moreover, there is a predetermined fate at play. The Qi family has prospered for six generations, yet it still revolves around the mortal world. Do you know why?"

Qi Qingyu looked puzzled, and Gu Qing continued.

"Let me put it this way: if you can become one of the top cultivators in a county in the mortal world, you'll have a chance to come into contact with cultivation forces."

"In the Southern Yue Kingdom, and in Taiyue Prefecture, where the cultivation practice is most prevalent, six generations of prosperity have passed, yet apart from their ancestors, they have never come into contact with any cultivators. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"This……"

Qi Qingyu was taken aback. Perhaps the so-called wealth that has continued for six generations is obtained by exchanging something else in the dark, and cannot be affected by a mere arrangement of objects.

"Now that the Yin Money Armored Corpse has absorbed the bad luck, gloom, and yin energy accumulated by the Qi family over six generations, you can start anew."

"If you don't know where to go, you can try going to Xuefu City before winter."

He gave this junior some pointers.

Gu Qing realized that he had a bit of a tendency to be a know-it-all, and it was a good thing to make good connections.

You also need to pay attention to your tone of voice and your mindset.

Do not try to manipulate others; reflect on yourself constantly to find your true self.

Some teachers are liked, while others are disliked.

This is the difference between mindset and action.

"See you again if we are destined."

Say it.

Gu Qing rode a streak of fire into the sky and flew towards the east of the town.

He delegated all his work to Li Qiufeng and the other two, partly because he genuinely didn't want to waste time and energy on repetitive and simple tasks.

Part of the reason was that they were aiming for the third yin acupoint.

Previously, in order to buy time, the Guiyin Taoist priest gave them a detailed introduction to her grand plan and the process of refining corpses.
