The Mystic Art Chen Miao was looking at was "Curse Dao: Corpse-Substitution Technique"!
This was the technique Yue Xiaodao had once used to become as impossible to kill as a cockroach.
The technique required a corpse as its casting medium. Only with a corpse could the subsequent steps be carried out.
Although Chen Miao owned a Funeral Home, with dozens of corpses passing through every month, he could not use those bodies as casting media.
Thus, after obtaining this miscellaneous art, "Curse Dao: Corpse-Substitution Technique," Chen Miao had only studied it for a while to understand its effects, so he would know how to counter similar enemies in the future.
Precisely because he had studied it before, the relevant information immediately surfaced in Chen Miao's mind when he saw the Corpse-Substitution Technique again.
Once cast, the Corpse-Substitution Technique established an inexplicable connection between the corpse and the caster.
Through this connection, the caster entered a half-corpse state.
In this state, the caster's strength, defense, and recovery abilities all improved significantly.
All those improvements came from the corpse used as the casting medium!
As long as that corpse contained enough corpse qi, the caster could keep fighting.
Previously, Yue Xiaodao had used the yin energy gathered by the Soul-Calming Scripture to make that corpse continually produce corpse qi, giving him an unending supply of stamina.
As it happened, the Flying Jiangshi in Sealed Gate Village was also connected to corpse qi.
Even more conveniently, Sealed Gate Village contained thirty corpses that had already developed corpse qi.
Chen Miao's idea was simple: use the properties of the Corpse-Substitution Technique to draw corpse qi back out of the underground network!
This was only the first step. If it succeeded, the subsequent steps would also be crucial.
But those later steps depended on the
