Having found a way to deal with the Killing Qi and Death Nether Qi inside him, Ling Tian and Wu De were both quite excited. But they ran into another problem: how to draw the negative energies out of Ling Tian's body. Wu De suggested using energies of the same origin to draw them out. Ling Tian pondered for a moment and understood. He knew he would have to condense a sixth golden core with the Death Qi Attribute.
Condensing a death-qi golden core was different from condensing cores of mutually generative attributes like Water Attribute. He would have to cultivate a death-qi technique, just as he had for his first Gold Attribute golden core, or use a treasure brimming with death qi as his Natal Dan Artifact.
In the Cultivation World, death qi devoured life force, so techniques for cultivating it were all but nonexistent. That left only one option: using an artifact filled with death qi as his Natal Dan Artifact.
"A treasure brimming with death qi..." Ling Tian murmured to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He took a broken spear shaft out of his Storage Ring and said excitedly, "Master, what about this Death Nether Spear?"
This broken spear, filled with Death Nether Qi, was the one that had pierced Nangong Nan. Ling Tian had taken it after the battle, thinking he might use it against enemies who threatened him. Over the years, as his cultivation improved, he had gradually forgotten about it. Only now, hearing that he needed a treasure full of death qi for his Natal Dan Artifact, did he remember it.
"Tsk, tsk, that Death Nether Qi is so dense! Where did you get this, kid?" Although the spear shaft had been sealed, Wu De could easily sense the dense Death Nether Qi
