Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"Luo Shan, you actually secretly refined a foundation-building puppet. Don't you want to live?"

A sound like thunder rang in his ears. When Luo Shan opened his eyes, he saw a white-haired old man in a gray robe looking at him angrily.

“Although I said that you can go to the Donglin Secret Realm only after you have the self-protection ability of the Foundation Establishment Period, I never expected that you would gamble with your life.”

"It's a small secret place. Even if I can't go there this time, I can wait a few years before going there again."

"With your mentality, even if you succeed in refining it by chance this time, you won't be able to go far in the future."

The old man's voice of scolding was mixed with disappointment. He took a deep look at Luo Shan, flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Luo Shan, who was dizzy on the ground, didn't hear the old man's words clearly at all. At this moment, her brain felt like it was about to explode.

Countless fragments of memory seemed to be forced into her brain by a big hand. She only remembered that she was performing surgery on a patient just now, but how come she became like this inexplicably the next moment.

When the pain gradually faded away, Luo Shan still had a feeling of unreality. She slowly stretched out her hand, followed the scene in her memory, and clumsily made a palm-sized water ball in her palm.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Luo San's brows furrowed more and more. Has she entered someone else's body?

It seems that the original owner of this body died because something went wrong while forcibly refining a corpse of the Foundation Establishment Period. No, that's not right. Even if he forcibly refined a corpse puppet of a higher level, the original owner should not have died. At most, his soul would have been seriously injured.

But the current situation is that the original owner is dead...

Thinking of this, Luo Shan's expression looked a little strange. The reason why the original owner wanted to refine the foundation-building corpse puppet was that he wanted to follow this group of disciples of the clan to a secret place called Donglin.

It’s a pity that the original owner was not on the list of people going to the secret realm because he failed to break through the foundation-building stage. In order to be able to go to the Donglin secret realm, the original owner made a bet with the old man just now.

As long as the original owner had the strength of the Foundation Establishment period, she could go to the secret realm. However, the secret realm would be opened in a month. The original owner's strength was just at the peak of the Qi Refining period, so it was naturally impossible for her to break through so quickly. So she came up with the idea of ​​refining a Foundation Establishment corpse puppet.

Luo Shan carefully examined the original owner's physical condition and found that his soul was indeed injured, but the extent of the injury was not fatal.

In other words, there was another reason why the original owner died.

Luo Shan recalled all the deeds of the original owner in his mind. The original owner lost both his parents when he was born and had no one to rely on in the clan. If he had not been tested to have a single water spiritual root, he would have been excluded from the clan long ago.

Also because of her single water spiritual root, the original owner had a high status in the clan. The elders and clan leaders were all nice to her, and the younger brothers in the clan also treated her with flattery. At least no one would attack her.

Since the people in the tribe have been ruled out, the ones left are those from the Gu tribe.

As one of the two tribes in southern Xinjiang, the Gu tribe is as powerful as the Corpse Puppet tribe. The two sides are constantly in dispute. When the original owner forcibly refined the Corpse Puppet, the other side wanted to kill the original owner. It is also possible to eliminate a talented young man with excellent qualifications from the hostile tribe.

Thinking of this, Luo Shan lowered his eyelids. Since "she" did not die this time, the other party would definitely attack again. Since the other party could target her, a young cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, naturally his strength could not be too high. Maybe this person was in the Donglin Secret Realm this time.

Luo Shan didn't want to say anything about revenge for the original owner. She only knew that she was now in the body of the original owner, and the person behind the scenes would definitely attack her, so it was necessary to find the other party out and deal with him.

He looked at the small white jade coffin hanging around his waist. This was the container prepared by the original owner for his corpse puppet. To put it simply, a corpse puppet is a puppet. Southern Xinjiang is different from the Eastern Continent. Resources are scarce here, and it is not easy to collect good materials for refining puppets. Therefore, the tribesmen here thought of using the corpses of the monks.

The corpse of a cultivator is not only strong, but its body is nourished by spiritual energy, making it easier to control with spiritual consciousness. However, the higher the cultivator's cultivation level, the longer it takes to fully control the body with spiritual consciousness. This is why the original owner forcibly refined the foundation-building corpse puppet, which resulted in damage to his soul now.

As soon as the small white jade coffin was opened, Luo Shan's eyes blurred, and a foundation-building corpse puppet stood in front of her.

The corpse puppet was wearing a black robe, with long hair loose. His handsome face was as pale as paper, and his pair of empty eyes looked at Luo Shan.

Luo Shan could feel the connection between himself and the corpse puppet. He only had a slight thought and the corpse puppet slapped the person next to him.

Looking in the direction where the corpse puppet was flying in the air, he saw a crack appearing on the originally smooth stone wall.

Is this the power of the foundation-building corpse puppet?

On the other side, Elder Gu, who had left angrily, stepped into the air and went directly to the entrance of the clan leader's cave. He bowed slightly and spoke with a respectful tone:

"Chief, Gu Yue wants to see you."

After a while, Elder Gu felt the restriction at the entrance of the cave shaking slightly, and a calm voice sounded:

"come in."

Gu Yue walked into the cave, and when he was about a hundred steps away from an old man wearing a black robe with strange runes embroidered on the right lapel, he stopped:

"Chief, the Donglin Secret Realm will be open in a month. The clan members are already prepared. When do you think we should leave?"

"The Western Region Demon Sect has already set off, and it's time for me to leave for Southern Border as well. You can lead the team to set off in three days."

"Yes." Gu Yue agreed, paused for a moment and said:

"Clan leader, a few days ago, Luo Shan told me that she wanted to go to the Donglin Secret Realm together. I saw that she was only at the peak of Qi Refining, so I wanted to refuse, but she insisted on going."

“So I told her that as long as she had the strength to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, she could go with me.”

When Gu Yue said this, he looked up at the old man's expression and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he continued:

"But I never expected that in order to go to the Donglin Secret Realm, she actually forced herself to refine a foundation-building corpse puppet. Although her soul was injured, she still has the ability to protect herself. You see..."

The meaning of his words was obvious. Gu Yue was of course more inclined to let Luo Shan go. Although he did not approve of Luo Shan's forcible refining of the Foundation-Building Corpse Puppet, judging from the current situation, Luo Shan was a girl with both courage and qualifications, so there might be an opportunity for her to go to the secret realm.

"Ying Chan of the Gu tribe broke through the foundation-building stage not long ago. She is also on the list of Gu tribe members heading to the secret realm this time." The old man opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yue intently:

“The Donglin Secret Realm is open. The Western Region Demon Sect, the Dongyue cultivators, and our Southern Border, except for the northern monsters, almost all the geniuses of this generation have gathered in the Donglin Secret Realm. Even in front of those geniuses, Luo Shan’s strength is only second-rate, but in our Corpse Puppet Tribe, he is a disciple of this generation who can be shown off.”

"I wanted to protect her for a few years. Well, since it's her own choice, let her go with me this time."
