Chapter 152 Silver Corpse
Soon, Qin Ziling put away the unrealistic fantasies in his mind.
Qi-refining techniques are strictly guarded and are rarely circulated in the world. Even if they do exist, they are generally incomplete and very ordinary.
He was lucky. He first obtained the "Green Wood Evergreen Skill" from Gong Yangmu, and then got the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Skill" from Bai Xiuqi, which he didn't know where he got it from and carried with him as a treasure.
Of these two, Gong Yangmu was a deputy leader of the Xiyunzhou branch of the Blood Demon Cult. He was once a very famous person and had reached the initial stage of True Essence, which was equivalent to a great bone refining martial artist. However, the branch was wiped out and he himself was seriously injured, with his cultivation level plummeting. He had no choice surrender to the Xu family father and son. The secret method he practiced was naturally relatively advanced.
Bai Xiuqi is the head of Guangou Mansion, a branch of Sitianjian in Fangqiao County. No matter his strength and power, he is comparable to the head of Xiao family. The secret that he does not practice but carries with him carefully is naturally of high quality, even better than the "Green Wood Evergreen Technique".
Naturally, this kind of luck is unlikely to come across often.
For an ordinary person to get a broken and average quality copy of "Canglang Jue" like the Taoist priest Wuhe, it is actually very lucky!
"No hurry, no hurry. Being able to practice two Qi-refining techniques and reach the realm of true strength is actually pretty good. The most urgent task is to first refine my entire body to the level of iron.
By then, I will be invulnerable to swords and guns, and I have other trump cards in hand. I can try my luck in Qinghe County and see what the Cui family is like!" Qin Ziling said to himself.
Qinghe County City is the largest county city except for the Xiyun Prefecture City. The city is tall, covers a vast area and is very prosperous.
Qinghe County has eight counties under its jurisdiction. Among them, the first and second county towns are not inferior to Fangliao City in terms of population and prosperity, except that their city walls are not as tall and solid as Fangliao County.
It is also because of this that Qinghe County is the area outside the capital of Xiyunzhou that gathers the most powerful people and cultivation supplies.
Fangliao City ranks at the bottom of Xiyun Province. It is remote, with poor mountains and bad water. There is not even a Qi-refining sect established in Fangliao County. Qin Ziling does not think that he will have a sudden burst of good luck and obtain relatively advanced Qi-refining techniques. If he wants to try his luck, he has to go to Qinghe County.
However, even if it was not for the Qi-refining technique, Qin Ziling would have to go to Qinghe County sooner or later, because his mother's family was in Qinghe County.
For so many years, my mother has had no contact with her natal family and never mentioned anything about them. There must be something wrong. As a son, Qin Ziling must investigate. If the Cui family has wronged my mother, he must seek justice.
Of course, Xiao Qing also needs to go to Qinghe County to try for an opportunity.
While talking to himself, Qin Ziling stood up and took off his clothes. The energy and blood that had been dormant beneath his skin suddenly became extremely turbulent like a sleeping beast awakening from the ancient times, emitting a trace of terrifying power.
The limbs, back and chest were covered with gleaming armor in just a moment, but the abdomen, neck, head, hips and other parts were still just cowhide.
"Come on!" Qin Ziling gritted his teeth and shouted coldly. Yuan Dabian raised his big palm wrapped in a secret iron sand bag and slapped Qin Ziling's head, neck, abdomen, buttocks and other parts.
When Yuan Da attacked Qin Ziling's crotch, Qin Ziling was in so much pain that he wished he was dying. But thinking of the shadow in his childhood mind, the scene of egg yolk and egg juice splashing when he pinched with five fingers, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Only because Qin Ziling not only practiced the art of spirit and soul, but also could multitask, he could accurately control the muscles, membranes, qi and blood in such sensitive areas. Of course, he also had a telepathic connection with Yuan Da, so he dared to practice like this!
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably fail right at the beginning of their practice!
"Eyes!" Qin Ziling finally endured the excruciating torture and shouted again.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Da immediately used two fingers to poke Qin Ziling's eyes.
Qin Ziling closed his eyes, and his originally delicate and smooth eyelids were suddenly covered with a thick layer of keratin, shining oily.
About an hour later, Qin Ziling finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Huff, huff!" Qin Ziling took a few deep breaths, then sat cross-legged and began to practice "Black Snake Mysterious Water Art" and "Green Wood Evergreen Art" at the same time, instead of jumping into the medicine barrel to soak like before.
The potion that Zuo Le prepared using a secret recipe was now becoming less and less effective for him.
Ten days ago, after tempering his body, he soaked in a barrel of medicine for a long time, but his muscles and skin still felt like they were torn into pieces. The pain was unbearable and it took a long time for him to recover.
Qin Ziling saw that the potion was unable to help him recover his injured muscles and skin, so he did not dare to let the ape hammer temper and polish him any further, as otherwise it would be too much and would only make the injury worse.
Since he had nothing to do anyway and also wanted to divert his attention from the pain, Qin Ziling tried sitting cross-legged and breathing to refine his Qi. However, he never expected that when he practiced the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Art" and the "Green Wood Evergreen Art" at the same time, as the water spirit and the wood spirit circulated in the five meridians and four major organs in his body, his damaged muscles and skin were nourished from the inside out and quickly recovered. Moreover, he exuded a more vigorous vitality and became even tougher, which was many times better than the effect of the potion.
Qin Ziling suddenly came to realize that wood represents vitality, water nourishes all things, and the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Art" and the "Evergreen Green Wood Art" are both Qi-refining exercises for health and self-cultivation. He possessed these two miraculous skills but did not know how to use them. Instead, he went far away and used potions with increasingly poor efficacy to maintain his body and cultivate himself.
Since making this discovery ten days ago, Qin Ziling has changed his recovery method.
After each round of hammering and polishing, he would endure the pain all over his body, sit cross-legged and breathe in and out to refine his energy.
In this way, not only can potions be saved, but the time for soaking in potions to recover can also be converted into time for refining Qi. It can be said that one can cultivate the body and refine Qi at the same time, and they work together with surprisingly good results.
Not long after, Qin Ziling opened his eyes with joy on his face.
"I didn't expect that after the 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Art' reached the true power realm, the speed of repair was much faster. The purity and strength of my blood and qi have obviously reached a bottleneck. If I want my whole body to break through to the iron skin level as soon as possible, in addition to practicing hard day and night, I also need to eat higher-grade exotic beasts. The effect of first-grade exotic beasts is not enough now!"
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling subconsciously turned his head to look at the passage connecting to the deep end of Wuyang Mountain, with hesitation flashing in his eyes.
The place where he is now is almost the limit of the outer area. The probability of strange beasts breaking into this area is much higher than other outer areas.
But even so, this is still the outer area after all. Except for the Eight Desolate Green Python he saw last year, Qin Ziling has not found any trace of a first-grade or above exotic beast so far.
“I now have the ability to hunt and kill second-grade or even third-grade exotic beasts, but according to Xiao Qing, the depths of Wuyang Mountain and the outer periphery are two completely different worlds.
Not only do extremely powerful and high-grade exotic beasts live there, but even some of the insects crawling on the ground are exotic beasts.
They are everywhere, hiding in inconspicuous corners. Once you accidentally enter their territory, they will suddenly attack as fast as ghosts, making it difficult to defend against. Moreover, many exotic beasts and insects are highly poisonous.
Therefore, even for a great martial artist at the bone refining level, or even a martial arts master at the organ refining level, it would be dangerous to enter the depths of the Wuyang Mountains. If it is not necessary, they are unwilling to go into the mountains to hunt.
However, the great martial artist who has reached the bone refining realm and the martial arts master who has reached the organ refining realm all hold high positions and hold great power. They have many experts under their command. Once they give an order, someone will hunt and kill exotic beasts for them and they can just sit back and enjoy the results. Why do they need to do it themselves?
Unlike me, I have finally gathered a few members, and I don’t have time to take care of my treasures, so how can I let them be cannon fodder and die? I even have to find a way to hunt some exotic beasts to cultivate them and let them grow up quickly! "
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling smiled self-deprecatingly, but soon the expression on his face froze slightly. Then, Qin Ziling's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness entered the corpse-raising ring.
The huge space of the corpse-raising ring was originally filled with inky black air floating everywhere, like floating black clouds.
But ever since it absorbed the Yin Sha Qi from the Yin Sha veins of Sanyuan Mountain, the entire sky was almost completely filled with Yin Sha Qi that was as dark as ink, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. The amount was unknown how many times more than before.
The evil aura was rolling, emitting a chill that seemed to be able to freeze stones into powder.
The entire corpse-raising ring is only five or six meters above the "ground", still retaining some normal space.
The Yin-Gathering Stone Array that was moved from the Yinsha Land of Sanyuan Mountain was placed next to the twelve coffins.
The densely packed runes on the nine empty coffins kept flickering dimly. Every time they flickered, evil black air was sucked in from all directions and gathered in the coffins into a black fog that became increasingly thicker and rolled violently.
Compared to these nine empty coffins, the evil black air that was sucked in each time the runes on the Yin-Gathering Stone Array flashed seemed much less powerful.
The former is like a rolling flood, while the latter is just like a trickling stream.
Qin Ziling had discovered this scene since he collected the Yin Sha Qi from the Yin Sha veins of Sanyuan Mountain that day, and he also deduced from it that these nine coffins should also be able to condense Yin Sha beads.
In the past, there were zombies lying in the nine coffins, and all the evil energy gathered was absorbed by the zombies. In addition, later on, the evil energy in the corpse-raising ring was thin, perhaps because of some secret method used by old Li Mo when he was fighting for his life. There was little change in the nine empty coffins, so Qin Ziling did not pay much attention to it.
It was not until half a month ago, after collecting the Yin Sha Qi from almost an entire Yin Sha vein and knowing that the Yin Gathering Stone Array could condense Yin Sha Beads, that Qin Ziling suddenly realized that the twelve coffins in his corpse-raising ring were much more advanced formations than the Yin Gathering Stone Array. If there were no zombies lying inside to absorb the Yin Sha Qi, Yin Sha Beads should be condensed over time.
However, as soon as Qin Ziling's spiritual consciousness came in, he passed over the increasingly dense evil black aura in the nine empty coffins, and instead looked at the four heads shining with silver light with surprise.
"Silver corpse! I finally have a silver corpse, and it's a flying silver corpse!
I really didn't expect the effect of the Yin Sha Pearl to be so good!
The Big Ape and the Second Ape are both zombies that old man Li Mo had spent a lot of effort to carefully select and cultivate. They have great potential for improvement. Once they have enough Yin Sha Pearls, they will definitely have hope of breaking through to the Silver Corpse realm in a short period of time.
Once the Great Ape and the Second Ape both break through to the Silver Corpse realm, I will have three Silver Corpse subordinates, which is equivalent to three great bone refining martial artists. Even if I face Pang Qiwei in Fangqiao City, I will be fully capable of fighting!
I just wonder when those nine empty coffins will be able to condense into Yin Sha Pearls?"
Qin Ziling looked at the four heads whose bodies were covered tightly with silver armor, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and imagination.
