Chapter 215: The Secret of the Golden Corpse
The Golden Corpse is equivalent to the Grandmaster level.
At this level, it is no longer just a matter of absorbing the essence and blood and the evil corpse qi and condensing the corpse power to break through. It involves more advanced and mysterious refining methods.
In the past, Qin Ziling only had fragmentary memories about the method of refining the golden corpse.
But this time, with the acquisition of the "Nine Evils Heavenly Corpse Secret", those fragmented memories were pieced together.
It can be said that the advanced techniques and great principles that Qin Ziling now knows about corpse refining have far surpassed Wu Dong and even the master of the Nandingzhou branch of the Corpse Demon Sect above him.
To refine a golden corpse, one must first find the Xinjin Yinsha earth vein.
Geng is a yang metal that is hard and sharp and can kill zombies.
If a zombie directly absorbs the evil energy of Gengjin into its body, it will commit suicide.
Xin metal is yin, killing and restraining. The silver corpse draws the Yin evil of Xin metal into the body, which can have a tempering effect. When it reaches a certain level, it can evolve into a golden corpse.
Of course, it is far from easy for a silver corpse to evolve into a golden corpse. Just like it takes a bone refining master to become a martial arts master, or a true essence qi refining master to become a qi refining master, both are extremely difficult.
First of all, the silver corpse’s bone potential must be good, so that it can be further tempered and evolved.
Secondly, the silver corpse has almost no intelligence, and acts purely on the instinct of a zombie. Although the Xinjin evil spirit is yin, its destructive power on the silver corpse is not as strong as that of the Gengjin evil spirit, but among the five elements, metal kills, and the Xinjin evil spirit still has great killing and destructive power. The silver corpse has no intelligence, and does not know how to control it when the evil spirit enters the body. Not only does it not have a tempering effect, but it becomes destructive, and its strength does not increase but decreases.
Therefore, the corpse refiner needs to carefully control the scale at this time. This is very demanding for the corpse refiner. When refining corpses, they must be extremely careful, so as not to be careless, and all previous efforts will be wasted, and they will have to repair the silver corpse's body and start all over again. This is still lucky, but if it is not careful, the silver corpse will completely lose the opportunity to evolve into a gold corpse if it is damaged too much.
Corpse refiners who try to refine gold corpses will most likely fail because of this. They work hard to find the Yinsha veins of Xinjin, hide in dark places, endure the cold day and night, and spend a lot of energy to control the silver corpse, but in the end they give up halfway, or even fail at the last moment.
In addition to the above two conditions, when the silver corpse draws the Xin metal evil spirit into its body, it must replenish it with high-quality essence and blood and Yin evil spirit from time to time to enhance the corpse's strength and repair the body. In many cases, it even needs to be fed with the corpse refiner's own essence and blood to nourish the silver corpse and strengthen the mental connection between the two parties.
Of course, the corpse refiner also needs to have a high level of cultivation and extremely profound attainments in corpse refining.
Because of this, the Golden Corpse is as rare as a Grandmaster.
Once a corpse refiner possesses a golden corpse, he instantly becomes equivalent to a master-level figure.
Even though Wu Dong had already found the Xinjin Yinsha vein and had refined Yingbao to produce a few golden rays, he was actually still far from refining Yingbao into a golden corpse.
However, Qin Ziling has a great advantage over others in refining the golden corpse.
First of all, Sishou, Ape Dayuan and Ape Er are all zombies carefully selected by Li Mo, and there is absolutely no problem with their physique and talent.
Secondly, Qin Ziling is a spiritual cultivator at the level of Spirit Severing. He has placed a spiritual seal on the four heads. It can be said that he is truly connected to the four heads. In a sense, the four heads actually have spiritual intelligence. However, this spiritual intelligence belongs to Qin Ziling, and their own has not yet been truly generated. In this way, the four heads can control the evil spirits entering their bodies accurately at all times.
As for the high-quality Yin Sha Qi, Qin Ziling had the corpse-raising ring and the Yin Gathering Coffin in his hands, so it was not a problem at all. Moreover, more than three months ago, he obtained twelve Yin Sha Beads from three underworld messengers, and now there are six left.
High-quality blood essence, he just killed Wu Dong, who, according to Jin Yichen, was extremely cruel and brutal, and who knew how many innocent people he had slaughtered, so he could keep it for future use. Moreover, with his quasi-grandmaster strength and diverse means, it would not be too difficult for him to kill fourth-grade beasts or extremely cruel demons like the Netherworld Cult's Dark Envoy and Wu Dong.
If it were Wu Dong, the combined strength of himself and Ying Bao would be just at that level, and killing such a strong man would be something they could not even think of.
Therefore, for Qin Ziling, if he wants to refine the golden corpse, the most urgent task is to find the Xinjin Yinsha ground vein, and let the four heads and the big ape and the second ape start to try to draw the Xinjin evil spirit into the body.
Three months ago, Yuan Da and Yuan Er sucked some of the blood of the Hades and consumed a few Yin Sha Pearls. After a period of absorption and refining, they successfully broke through and became high-level silver corpses.
Originally, Qin Ziling had never thought of trying to refine the golden corpse so soon.
The reason why he came to Chenglin County in person this time was actually to meet the people of the Corpse Demon Sect. After all, he had merged with a part of Li Mo's residual soul. Of course, Chenglin County could continuously produce zombie soldiers, and there was a high probability that there was a Yinsha vein hidden somewhere.
Qin Ziling came here this time with the intention of collecting the Yinsha earth veins and replenishing the corpse-raising ring.
As a result, Qin Ziling did not expect that he would accidentally kill Wu Dong, the guardian of the Corpse Demon Sect's Nandingzhou branch, in this small Chenglin County.
He obtained the basic skills of the Corpse Demon Sect from him, and connected his fragmented memories together, knowing the complete method of refining the golden corpse. He also discovered that a little golden light had appeared on Wudong's silver corpse of Yingbao.
Obviously, what is hidden somewhere in Chenglin County is not an ordinary Yin Sha vein, but the Xin Jin Yin Sha vein that can be used to refine a golden corpse.
"Junior Brother Lu is helping to manage Chenglin County now. I don't have much to do, so I'll accompany you." Zheng Xinghan said.
"Being born in a big family does have its advantages. Brother, you should read more books and ask Xiao Wenchen for advice when you have time. Don't underestimate these things and think they have nothing to do with martial arts. In fact, many things are connected. The more knowledge you have and the more experience you have, the higher you will look at things from. In martial arts, you will also be able to draw inferences from one instance to another. You will have a big picture and depth when looking at things, instead of just seeing the superficial changes of moves like those martial artists.
Fangliao County is a small place after all. Brother, you are a late bloomer with unlimited potential. Sooner or later, you will leave Fangliao County. But your knowledge base and some fixed ideas formed when you were young will restrict your future pattern and affect the height of your development. Therefore, brother, you should take advantage of now to learn more in Fangliao County. "Qin Ziling said with some emotion after hearing this.
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Brother. I will." Zheng Xinghan said solemnly.
Qin Ziling smiled, then left the study with Zheng Xinghan.
