Restoring a Severed Limb (Seeking Votes)

Evil God Ward, Xu Estate.

Su Qing Shan stared gloomily at the shattered jade pendant in his hand. This Double Fish Jade Pendant had been the token of love between him and Xu Jiao Jiao; once it shattered, it meant one of them had died.

Yet in the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on his face.

Though it was a pity that his revenge had failed, breaking free of Xu Jiao Jiao, that sickly fat sow, was still something worth celebrating.

He turned and surveyed his surroundings, then burst into hearty laughter.

Opening his Storage Bag as wide as it would go, he actually began packing up every valuable item in the Xu Estate. Though these things were mere scraps individually, together they were worth quite a few Spirit Stones.

And the most valuable of all—the property deeds—were all his now, Su Qing Shan's!

As for Steward Xu's revenge after he emerged, Su Qing Shan did not care in the slightest. With Wang Yu, the enemy who had killed his daughter, ahead of him drawing all the hatred, Su Qing Shan decided to seek refuge somewhere far from the Mountain Gate.

After leaving behind a letter.

He naturally went to Ice Snow Tower to find Zhao Shang, hoping the other man would arrange a suitable job for him so he could lie low for a few years.

After hearing Su Qing Shan's request, Zhao Shang could not help revealing an odd expression.

"I suggest, Brother Qing Shan, that you go to Blood Nether Ward and purchase an ordinary Profound Bone Token. Profound Bone Mountain in Feng Province is one of the places farthest from the Mountain Gate."

"Sounds good."

Su Qing Shan agreed almost without a second thought. The situation was urgent, and seeking refuge came first.

After Wang Yu successfully returned to Evil God Ward, he immediately began examining the Second Tier Divine Strength Corpse arm in his hand.

Zombies were among the evil creatures of heaven and earth. Born from resentment and feeding on blood, their classifications and tier divisions were exceedingly complex. If a zombie passed through Heavenly Thunder, it would develop a faint intelligence and might even have a chance to ascend to the heavens.

They were broadly divided into three types: Armor Corpses, Sha Corpses, and Variant Corpses!

Within Heavenly Corpse Peak's inheritance, Armor Corpses were the main focus, Sha Corpses came second, and Variant Corpses were the rarest. Most were formed when Nascent Soul Seeds with Heaven-Born Spirit Bodies underwent corpse transformation. They could inherit the Spirit Body abilities they had possessed in life, making them the most extraordinary.

Armor Corpses were divided into four tiers: Bronze Armor Corpses, Iron Armored Corpses, Golden Armored Corpses, and Imperishable Bones, corresponding respectively to Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul!

Sha Corpses were divided into four tiers as well: Hairy Corpses, Green Corpses, Flying Corpses, and Yakshas, likewise corresponding to the same realms.

Variant Corpses had no fixed names and were generally named according to their characteristics. Replicating them was extremely difficult.

Zombies controlled by cultivators were collectively known as Refined Corpses. As the name implied, they were zombies that had been refined and brought under control, used to fight through corpse manipulation!

The Frost Corpse True Inheritor Su had previously promised him was a Sha Corpse that had absorbed cold fiend qi. Its attributes matched Wang Yu's, and if he could use a Frost Corpse's arm to reconnect his severed limb, it would actually be most suitable.

Divine Strength Corpses were Great Strength Corpses among Armor Corpses. They were mostly refined from the corpses of those born with divine strength or cultivators who had practiced Body Refinement Cultivation Methods, possessing infinite strength.

They could easily tear tigers and leopards apart alive and shoulder the Nine Cauldrons!

This arm was grayish-white throughout, its muscles twisted like knotted dragons and its flesh bulging. The capillaries beneath the skin were a bluish-black, while dense Corpse Qi formed mountain-ridge-like Armor Shards across its surface. It was three times larger than Wang Yu's right hand.

Wang Yu furrowed his brows and silently circulated the Corpse Demon Secret Art. During this period, this secret art had remained in the Placement Slot. Even though it had already reached perfection, it still absorbed yin qi and Corpse Qi, merging them with his own spiritual power to form "Yin Blood Pills."

Using the broken talisman-mark fragments within his blood as a core, they fused into a Yin Blood Pill, with his blood vessels as pathways, flowing throughout his entire body.

Affected by the secret art's incompleteness, only one could exist within his body for the time being. After proceeding cautiously,

Wang Yu opened his mouth and spat out a Yin Blood Pill, sending it into the corpse arm before injecting spiritual power to begin refining it.

This was a rather lengthy process.

The Yin Blood Pill's effect was essentially to transform this corpse arm, making it change toward Wang Yu's own body. Every minute detail needed to be adjusted and remade; one pill was far from enough.

Fortunately, the Placement Slot helped him continuously condense Yin Blood Pills, so there would be no shortage of supply.

As Time Passes, under the effects of one Yin Blood Pill after another, this left arm began to shrink. Its appearance became basically identical to Wang Yu's right hand, gradually becoming compatible with him!

That was only a surface-level change. Deeper within, every fraction of its internal structure was being assimilated by Wang Yu's Yin Blood. This Second Tier corpse arm was truly not easy to refine.

A full two months were spent.

This day, Wang Yu changed the hand seals with his right hand and gave a low shout.

"Reconnect!"

The corpse arm had long since taken on his shape. The severed end drew close to his shoulder, and in an instant, dense Yin Corpse Threads linked the two together.

Bones rejoined, flesh and blood connected, meridians restored, nerves revived!

After four successive transformations, Wang Yu shuddered violently. Its flexibility was no different from that of his original arm.

Though regaining his left arm was certainly gratifying, it also brought a new problem: it had no vitality!

A corpse was a corpse. Having been turned into a zombie for too long, it had long lost the vitality a living person should possess.

Though Wang Yu had become somewhat less human after cultivating the Corpse Demon Secret Art, his essence had not changed.

Now that the corpse arm's bones had joined with his own, and their marrow had come into contact, an aura of death began invading his body from the level of his bone marrow, slowly but surely.

Wang Yu's expression turned grave.

This was a deathly ailment. If Death Qi seeped into the bone marrow, it would shorten one's lifespan at best and cause sudden death at worst.

Yet because of the Corpse Demon Secret Art, his own bones were abnormal as well, and instead formed a symbiotic relationship with it. If he used this Death Qi properly, it would become his Killing Token.

Likewise, under normal circumstances, with Death Qi Entanglement, even though he was exceptionally young and had ample lifespan, he would not live past ten years. But though the secret art was incomplete, it was still effective.

With his spiritual power cultivation suppressing it as well, he should be able to maintain a balance. So long as he kept the Death Qi confined within this arm and prevented it from invading his main body, his lifespan would naturally be free of worry.

Once the Corpse Demon Secret Art was completed to the Second Tier, the problem with this corpse arm could be completely resolved.

That brought this matter to a close.

After his left arm was restored, its strength clearly surpassed that of his right arm by far. Its jet-black nails scraped against the rock wall as though kneading tofu.

Its terrifying power had already exceeded the limits a Qi Refining Cultivator could attain.

Wang Yu fell into thought.

His original plan had been to purchase Magical Artifacts, but now that he had the First Tier High-Grade Nether Spirit Iron Chain obtained from Xu Jiao Jiao, there was no need to buy any more. This Magical Artifact was equally suitable for him.

Paired with this powerful Divine Strength Left Hand, killing those of the same realm would be like slaughtering chickens!

What he should do was prepare more medicinal ingredients and refine large quantities of auxiliary and functional spirit pills: Fasting Pills, Spirit Recovery Pills, Obstacle Removal Pills, Odorless Powder... etc.

He even refined several bottles of All Wonders Pills for entertainment, preparing for the journey to Profound Bone Mountain. At the same time, he also needed to buy a set of Formation Flags for traveling outside.

Thus.

Another month passed.

It was the second year and twelfth month of Wang Yu's Outer Sect life, in early autumn. A travel-worn party returned to the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. There were only around eighty people, yet every one of them was at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Half of them had Reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, each only one step away from Foundation Establishment!

This party was precisely the group that had left the sect five years ago for Profound Bone Mountain. Such a sight left quite a few people utterly astonished.

"Th-this... what opportunity does Profound Bone Mountain hold?"

"Junior Brother Wang!"
