202. Corpse Refining

"Among the Heavenly Corpse Alliance, the Profound Corpse Sect, the Iron Corpse Sect, and the White Bone Sect are the strongest, and the leaders of the three sects are all the leaders of the Heavenly Corpse Alliance."

"All three factions possess methods for refining and controlling Refined Corpse."

"The Profound Corpse Sect is skilled in refining Black Zombie. Although Black Zombie are slow-moving, they are incredibly strong and contain deadly poison, making them easy to refine. Once they are produced on a large scale, even External Hardness Grandmaster dare not venture into the 'Black Zombie Formation.' The Profound Corpse Sect's leader, Tie Shan, has three Black Zombie under his command who have once killed experts at the Dragon-Tiger Realm."

"The Iron Corpse Sect is skilled in refining Hairy Zombie. Hairy Zombie grow hair all over their bodies and are known for their copper skin and iron bones. The longer they are refined, the stronger their bodies become. They are agile and can leap over houses and trees. They are not afraid of ordinary fire and are not even afraid of sunlight. When the Iron Corpse Sect fights with others, Hairy Zombie can suddenly appear and often achieve great feats."

"The White Bone Sect is skilled at refining Unmelting Bone. Unlike Black Zombie and Hairy Zombie, the White Bone Sect has a unique method that allows the flesh and blood of ordinary Refined Corpse to nourish the bones. After the refining process is completed, only a skeleton remains, which is called Unmelting Bone. Unmelting Bone contains toxins, and the bones are as hard as diamond. It can walk like a normal person, which is extremely strange."

Headquarters of the Yin Fu Sect of Feixian Mountain.

Flying Tiger stood in front of Lu Qingfeng and reported on the intelligence regarding the Heavenly Corpse Alliance.

The Heavenly Corpse Alliance took notice of the Yin Talisman Sect, Yin Talisman Sect naturally didn't ignore the Heavenly Corpse Alliance either. Flying Tiger had been in the Yin Talisman Sect in his early years, where he was responsible for intelligence.

Seeing that he was pragmatic and obedient, Lu Qingfeng promoted him from a protector to the head of the Flying Bird Hall.

After his promotion, Flying Tiger became even more diligent and made many contributions.

They gathered a great deal of intelligence for the Yin Talisman Sect.

Lu Qingfeng bestowed upon him the Golden Marrow Pill, helping him break through to the Dragon-Tiger Realm. Flying Tiger had been stuck in the Inner Vigor Realm for a long time, suffering from bottlenecks and limited resources, unable to break through.

This time, obtaining the Golden Marrow Pill helped him take the final step.

He finally achieved the Dragon-Tiger Realm, thus becoming a first-rate expert. He was now on par with Tingfeng, the former leader of the Yin Talisman Sect, She Tu, the former leader of the Dragon Mountain Sect, though their statuses were vastly different.

Flying Tiger was deeply grateful and became even more loyal to Lu Qingfeng. He was also extremely serious about his work and was highly valued by Lu Qingfeng.

"Black Zombie Profound Corpse Sect".

"Iron Corpse Sect Hairy Zombie".

"The White Bone Sect Unmelting Bone."

Lu Qingfeng listened, then lowered his head and pondered.

Refined Corpse, zombie refining, and zombies can generally be categorized into one type. However, if you break it down further, there are many more types.

In addition to the three types mentioned above, there are also Green Zombie, White Zombie, Purple Zombie, Wandering Corpse, and Prostrate Corpse, etc. Although they are slightly different and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, they are all similar in that they are all formed from the corpses of people after they die.

Lu Qingfeng once obtained a Refined Corpse from the Return to Truth Sect and destroyed one of Refined Corpse.

However, he did not obtain the method of Refined Corpse.

Furthermore, since this method was unorthodox, Lu Qingfeng didn't take it seriously. The Refined Corpse he obtained was buried in the Weeping Marsh and left unused.

It is said that Refined Corpse, or zombies, can be classified according to their strength into Iron Zombie, Bronze Zombie, Silver Zombie Golden Zombie, Golden Zombie, and so on. They can even transform into evil creatures such as Drought Demon, hou, and Flying Yaksha.

As soon as the Drought Demon comes out, the red land will be thousands of miles away!

Although this path is considered a minor one, its attainment at its highest level is no less remarkable.

The only problem is that it takes too long.

To enhance one's strength through Refined Corpse, one can absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the essence of the sun and moon, the yin Sha Qi gathered in places where Yin Qi gathers, and blood-sucking and yang energy absorption, among other things.

The first two methods take a long time.

The latter is immoral and wicked.

Lu Qingfeng has other paths to pursue and can strengthen himself, so there is absolutely no need for him to waste his time on a trivial path like Refined Corpse.

However, Spiritual Qi has been cut off in the Heavenly Shaman Realm.

Mastering the art of Refined Corpse allows one to acquire considerable power with minimal effort.

Even Black Zombie from the Profound Corpse Sect, whose cultivation level never surpasses the Iron Zombie stage, can still allow the Profound Corpse Sect to dominate a region, and enable Tie Shan, who is at the Dragon-Tiger Realm, to fight against an External Hardness Grandmaster.

For them.

Even if it takes more than ten or several decades, as long as one can obtain a Refined Corpse at the Dragon-Tiger Realm level, or even just the Inner Vigor level, it is enough to wield power.

But Lu Qingfeng.

After spending decades, all that's left is a Refined Corpse at the True Qi Realm —isn't that a joke?

"However, if one could obtain a profound Refined Corpse technique to enhance it, and then use the bodies of accomplished Qi Refining cultivators or Demon Beast for refining, shortening the time required for the Refined Corpse shape, it would be worth a try."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, recalling the three major factions within the Heavenly Corpse Alliance.

Looking up at Flying Tiger, he said, "Quickly compile several reports on the Heavenly Corpse Alliance and the Longsong Sect, and send them to the Might-Subduing Hall and the Life-Slaying Hall."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Flying Tiger's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly agreed.

After retreating, he was secretly excited, thinking, "It's finally time to make a move!"

After thirteen years of quiet development, Longsong Sect intends to provoke the Heavenly Corpse Alliance and ignite a war.

The Heavenly Corpse Alliance remained on high alert while simultaneously discussing countermeasures.

However, before the two factions could actually fight, the Yin Talisman Sect came from the west and launched the first attack on both factions.

After seven years of dormancy.

They possess numerous profound martial arts techniques and methods bestowed by Lu Qingfeng, as well as a continuous supply of various elixirs.

The Yin Talisman Sect has produced many masters.

What the outside the Heavenly Corpse Alliance knows is only the part that has been revealed to the public.

In fact.

Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level had already reached the True Qi Realm Peak. Even if a so-called Extreme Transformation Supremacy from the Heavenly Shaman Realm came, Lu Qingfeng could crush him. As for Internal Hardness Great Grandmaster, no matter how many came, it would be futile.

Below Lu Qingfeng.

Each hall master possesses the strength of the Dragon-Tiger Realm.

Among the Dharma protectors, quite a few had also reached the Dragon-Tiger Realm.

There are as many as twenty-three experts at the Dragon-Tiger Realm within the sect.

Most of them, besides their own combat prowess, also keep ghosts, enslave venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, or practice poison arts and Gu insects. Their methods are unpredictable, and their true strength cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Besides.

Over the past seven years, a large number of disciples have been trained, most of whom have reached the strength level of the Sinew and Bone.

The 'elders,' including members of the Yin Talisman Sect, have further improved their strength, with most now at the Inner Vigor Realm.

Their overall strength far surpasses that of the Longsong Sect and Heavenly Corpse Alliance.

Lu Qingfeng couldn't wait for the two sides to go from probing to small-scale battles to a full-scale war, so he directly launched the Yin Talisman Sect, pressing down on the Mountain-Ghost Tribe's territory with thunderous force.

The Might-Subduing Hall and the Life-Slaying Hall are in front.

Lu Qingfeng was behind.

If an enemy expert shows up, suppress or kill them immediately.

The Yin Talisman Sect swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, fully unleashing the accumulated strength of seven years. They were utterly unstoppable along their path.

In less than half a year, they conquered the Heavenly Corpse Alliance and the Longsong Sect.

When Lu Qingfeng personally took action, he was no match for him.

He established the Yin Talisman Sect not for conquest, but for defense, and to facilitate the collection of various resources and information.

If the Yin Talisman Sect were to deal with the Longsong Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Alliance, they might be able to take them down, but it would take several years or even more than a decade.

Lu Qingfeng has not yet advanced to the Foundation Establishment, and his lifespan is limited; he cannot afford to waste it.

So they didn't hesitate to take action.

With strength surpassing that of a Grandmaster and reaching the realm of 'Immortal,' no one in the mortal world can withstand him.

He was there.

The members of the Yin Talisman Sect only needed to follow behind to take over the territory and clean up the battlefield.

The battle was swift.

This left everyone astonished.

The Longsong Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Alliance were defeated before they could even react.

Among them, the experts and disciples either surrendered and joined the Yin Talisman Sect, or, being arrogant, were directly killed.

The Yin Talisman Sect originally controlled over a thousand miles of territory Radiant Tribe.

Now, by annexing Longsong Sect and Heavenly Corpse Alliance, and incorporating the territory of the Mountain-Ghost Tribe, it has instantly gained control of two thousand miles of land, becoming a super-powerful force that cannot be ignored by Southern Borderlands or the Central Plains.

The Yin Talisman Sect and Yin Talisman Sect leader, Guangyuan, were well-known even among the Southern Borderlands Frontier Divine Mountain, the three great holy lands of the Central Plains, and the seven top sects.

Lu Qingfeng personally led the attack.

The Yin Talisman Sect was responsible for the aftermath. After its territory doubled, the Yin Talisman Sect shifted its focus from expansion to internal defense, consolidating its territory and stabilizing its rear.

The Yin Talisman Sect Master went into seclusion on the spot at Great Sun Peak.

The Yin Talisman Sect transformed into a crouching tiger, seemingly resting, yet also preparing for its next attack.

Eight years pass in the Heavenly Shaman Realm in the blink of an eye, plus sixteen years in the Rebirth Pool.

In reality, March has already passed.

"Going on a long trip?"

Lu Qingyu looked at her elder brother, her eyes wide, and sized him up. "How strange, elder brother, you've never liked going out. Why did you suddenly decide to go on a long trip today?"

At first, in Miaoyin City Shangyang Country, she and her second brother often went out for walks, but her eldest brother rarely went out, either staying in the courtyard or in the pharmacy.

After that, he stayed indoors in Qingzhang Mountain and Fujiang Cliff.

The same thing happened when we arrived at the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

Three years at Silver Horn Mountain.

Peak Rain Mountain for over a year, and apart from Brocade Cloud Peak, I've never been anywhere else.

I suddenly found her today, saying she was going on a long trip.

That's really strange.

"I'm afraid you'll get bored staying in the Gathering Cloud Mountains for too long, so I'll take you out for a stroll," Lu Qingfeng said to Qingyu with a smile.

The Gathering Cloud Mountains cover a vast area, with countless exquisite features.

But even the most exquisite things become boring after a while. Lu Qingyu used to enjoy riding White Crane cranes through the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

In recent months, however, he has frequently traveled to the secular cities controlled by the Sunset Glow Sect.

She and Lu Qingfeng are different after all.

Without the entertainment of games, staying on Peak Rain Mountain or in the Gathering Cloud Mountains inevitably leads to boredom.

The journey to the Profound Origin Water Realm stretches for tens of thousands of miles, with breathtaking scenery vastly different from the Gathering Cloud Mountains. Upon arriving at the Profound Origin Water Realm, one will encounter cultivators from all walks of life. And at the Mystic Origin Auction, one can witness a variety of treasures...

Mystery!

Novel!

Unknown!

Most people cannot escape these pursuits. This is especially true in the magnificent and wondrous world of spiritual practice.

Over the years, due to insufficient strength, he had remained in one place without moving. The cheerful Qingyu accompanied him, sitting idly in the deep mountains, and Lu Qingfeng felt ashamed.

In particular, he experienced a great deal in the game.

In reality, after each cultivation session, Qingyu would sit atop a mountain, gazing at the clouds and the sea of trees. Lu Qingfeng had once seen Qingyu's back view; she was lonely and desolate.

I felt increasingly guilty.

Having now successfully Foundation Establishment, his cultivation level, though still not impressive, is sufficient for self-preservation. He could take Qingyu out for a stroll.

Qingshan cultivates in the Sunset Glow Sect and has a group of fellow disciples.

Qingyu also needs a suitable environment, rather than always being by his side. Even if Qingyu were willing, Lu Qingfeng had to balance his real-world cultivation and his experiences in the game, leaving him with too little time to spend with Qingyu.

Qingyu wanted to stay with her older brother, but Lu Qingfeng couldn't stay with his younger sister.

"I'm fine. With Da Bai for transportation, it's easy for me to get in and out of the Gathering Cloud Mountains," Lu Qingyu said with a blink and a smile.

Lu Qingfeng smiled, knowing that Qingyu had noticed his change of heart, but he didn't care. He changed the subject and asked, "You wander around all day, have you ever been interested in anything?"

"What does it mean to wander around all day!"

Lu Qingyu snorted and pouted, "I was just tired from cultivation, so I went out to relax so I could cultivate better. You also said that cultivation should have a balance of work and rest, and I'm doing exactly what you said, otherwise I wouldn't want to go out."

He wanders around all day.

It sounds like someone who's just loafing around.

Lu Qingyu was somewhat displeased.

"Okay, okay."

I misspoke.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled softly.

There will be three updates today, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening.
