Chapter 216 Xin Jin Evil Spirit
Chenglin County seat is fifteen miles north.
Zheng Xinghan and Qin Ziling each rode a clouded leopard horse to the foot of a rocky mountain with sparse vegetation. They were accompanied by Bao Yingjun. On the periphery, there were guards from Shuiyue Villa with swords on their waists.
It was noon, and the sun, like a flaming wheel, hung high in the sky.
But when the two stood at the foot of the mountain, they seemed not to feel the scorching summer sun, but instead felt a slight chill.
"Brother, look, do you see that cave?" Bao Yingjun asked, pointing to a cave facing them not far away.
There was wind blowing out from the cave entrance, and it was that wind that brought gusts of chill to people.
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There's a very cold wind blowing in that cave all year round. This wind can sometimes freeze some stones and crack them. The people from the Corpse Demon Sect secretly transport human corpses into this cave, and then take them out after a period of time. Then, they become zombies." Bao Yingjun said, still stuttering a little, but much better than before.
"This cave is really weird, and the wind inside is very cold. I went in to explore, but it became unbearable after walking two hundred meters. The wind blowing on my body was as painful as a knife cutting my flesh. If an ordinary person walks into this cave, he will probably catch a cold and become seriously ill after walking a few meters." Zheng Xinghan took over the conversation.
"There is a Yin Sha vein at the foot of this mountain, and this cave is the exit of the Yin Sha. The Yin Sha energy becomes stronger the deeper you go. It would be uncomfortable for a normal person to go in. This mountain has few trees, and it is also affected by the Yin Sha energy." Qin Ziling explained, with a hint of joy flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The evil aura blowing out of this cave gave Qin Ziling a feeling that was very different from the evil aura coming out of the cold pond in Sanyuan Mountain.
The evil aura coming out of the cold pond on the back mountain of Sanyuan Mountain gives people the greatest feeling of coldness and death. Here, in addition to the gloomy and dead feeling, there is also an aura of solemnity and murder.
The wind blowing on my body was not only cold, but also felt like a sword piercing my body.
"So that's why. No wonder the Corpse Demon Sect can continuously produce zombies here." Zheng Xinghan said.
"Okay, I already know this place. You all can withdraw your men, I'll go in and take a look." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Why don't we keep Yingjun here?" Zheng Xinghan suggested after hesitating.
"Thank you, senior brother. It's not necessary. I know what I'm doing." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay!" Zheng Xinghan nodded and didn't insist.
Soon, Zheng Xinghan and others left the strange rocky mountain.
Qin Ziling entered the cave, separated a part of his soul and wrapped up the Blood Soul Refining Flag and hid it in the dark corner of the cave entrance.
After walking about fifty meters, Qin Ziling saw an exit of evil energy.
The evil aura here is not strong, but it is enough for refining ordinary zombies.
The people from the Corpse Demon Sect dug a big pit here and led the evil energy into the pit, forming a corpse-raising pit.
Qin Ziling just took a look and continued walking inside.
When they reached about 200 meters, which was the place Zheng Xinghan mentioned, the cold wind was indeed as sharp as a knife. Even with Qin Ziling's strong physique, he felt quite uncomfortable.
Qin Ziling continued to move forward, and after about 500 meters, he reached the end.
There is a crack in the ground at the end, and the shape of the crack is like a giant eye.
Strong evil energy of Xin metal continued to emerge from this air eye, filling the cave at the end, rolling and dispersing, and constantly condensing into various weapons such as knives, swords, spears, axes, halberds, and halberds.
Qin Ziling had just stepped into the central area of this energy eye when all kinds of weapons formed by the evil energy of Xin Jin came whistling towards him.
Qin Ziling's mind moved, and Ying Bao appeared in front of him.
“Ding ding dong!”
Various weapons condensed with evil spirits fell on Ying Bao, making dense sounds of metal clashing. Many marks immediately appeared on the surface of Ying Bao's body, which was like covered with thick silver armor.
"This Xinjin evil spirit is really powerful. No wonder even a high-level silver corpse has to absorb the evil spirit into the body bit by bit. It also requires very high root potential, otherwise it will be damaged if you are not careful." Qin Ziling couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw this.
But soon a smile of relief appeared on Qin Ziling's face.
"Fortunately, I have the Corpse Raising Ring to absorb the evil spirit of Xinjin, and I have the Soul Seal to connect with the minds of Ape Da and the others. Otherwise, if I want to refine them into golden corpses, I will not only have to stay in this dark place every day, spending a lot of time and effort to control them to refine the evil spirit into their bodies, but also have to endure the cold swords and knives on my body every day!
Sure enough, there is no easy way in any industry. This evil way of the devil is to take shortcuts without any means or taboos, but it is not easy to practice to a powerful level, and you have to suffer a lot. "Qin Ziling sighed with gratitude in his heart, took off the corpse-raising ring on the little finger of his right hand, and aimed it at the ground vein eye.
He silently recited the magic formula in his mind, and the corpse-raising ring, which looked like an ordinary ring, soon emitted a black halo. This black halo continued to expand and distort, and eventually turned into a giant mouth.
There are black whirlpools inside this huge mouth, which are bottomless.
The whirlpool in the giant mouth was spinning, and all kinds of weapons formed by the evil energy of Xin Jin in the cave were sucked into the whirlpool and soon disappeared.
As the evil energy of Xin Jin in the cave was swept away, the evil energy of Xin Jin continued to escape from the air eye and was constantly sucked away by the huge vortex.
In the corpse-raising ring, huge changes are taking place as the evil energy of Xin Metal is continuously absorbed.
Originally, the corpse-raising ring was filled with black evil deathly energy. This evil deathly energy was like a dark cloud, hanging heavy and gloomy over the corpse-raising ring. Now, there was a group of white mist in the sky.
This group of white mist continued to expand, evolving into various weapons, emitting a cold and murderous aura.
This white cloud is exactly the evil energy of Xin Jin.
After about half an incense stick of time, the earth veins no longer emitted the evil energy of Xin Jin.
Qin Ziling stared at the qi eye for a long time before he reluctantly put away the corpse-raising ring.
Last year, in the back mountain of Sanyuan Mountain, he used the Corpse-Raising Ring to absorb the evil veins for more than an hour and a half, but here it was only half an incense stick, a huge difference in quantity.
"How could there be so little? Has it been collected by someone? Or is this Xinjin Yinsha vein originally miniature?" Qin Ziling muttered to himself as he turned around and left the cave.
Inside the corpse-raising ring, four heads were tilted back with their beaks open. Wisps of Xinjin evil energy were like white threads hanging down from the white clouds and falling into their beaks.
Soon, there was a faint fire flickering in the four pairs of seemingly empty eyes, like a candle blown by the wind, ready to go out at any time.
Ape Da and Ape Er were still lying quietly in the coffin, breathing in and out the evil deathly aura.
The same is true for Ying Bao.
The foundations of Ape Da and Ape Er are not solid enough, so it is a bit early to start refining their bodies now.
As for Ying Bao, his bones are slightly inferior to those of Yuan Da, Yuan Er and the other four. Qin Ziling doesn't want to waste this little bit of Xin Jin evil energy on it for the time being.
Not far from the coffin was Wu Dong's body.
The four of them had already drunk the essence and blood of the three underworld messengers some time ago, so they don't need them for the time being.
He silently separated a part of his soul and, through the seal of the soul, accurately controlled the four heads to draw evil spirits into their bodies. He could clearly feel that the four heads' bodies were constantly being tempered by the evil spirit of Xin Jin and were constantly getting stronger. Qin Ziling's slight disappointment had long since disappeared, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
The golden corpse is equivalent to the existence of a master, especially his golden corpse is completely under his control.
Once the four heads evolve into golden corpses, it will be not much different from him having a master clone.
Therefore, the fourth master is now refining his body, which, from another perspective, is actually equivalent to him trying to break through and become a master.
In fact, according to his current cultivation progress, he still has a long way to go to break through to the Grandmaster level.
"Corpse refining is ultimately an unorthodox method that also relies on external forces. In the initial stage, in order to save life and accumulate original capital as quickly as possible, I have to rely on others more. But in the end, the iron must be strong before it can be forged. I must not be complacent and relax my requirements on myself just because Si Shou has already started to refine the golden body!" Qin Ziling soon became alert and secretly warned himself.
…
Time flies and it is already October.
Two months have passed since Xiao Qing captured Chenglin County.
The weather is getting colder, and when the wind blows, the leaves fall everywhere, adding a touch of autumn desolation.
The cave in Wuyang Mountain where Qin Ziling was practicing in seclusion was as hot as a furnace at this moment, and hot wind was blowing in the cave.
In the hot wind, Qin Ziling was shirtless and kept waving his palms.
As he exerted his strength and swung his palms, shadows of fire continued to appear from his body, constantly changing around his body to form a flaming red armor that made him look indescribably majestic.
Every time the palm was swung out, it seemed as if flames burst out from the palm, forming a huge phantom of a giant flaming palm in the air.
The shadow of the giant flaming palm fell heavily on the wall of the cave. The rocks on the wall were burned red and softened, leaving behind a large palm print.
"Huh!" Qin Ziling slowly closed his palm, pressed it downward, let out a long breath, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Iron Force, after I consumed the flesh and blood of the Chi, I quickly cultivated it all the way to its limit. It took me two months to break through the limit of the Dielang Force, but it took me half a year to reach the limit of the Qinglong Xuanmu Force.
I have been practicing this 'Vajra Flame Force' for two months now. I even ate up all three jars of fire-attributed bone-refining secret medicine I got from Long Xiaotian, one of which was made . But I still feel that I am far from my limit.
It seems that if I want to speed up the progress, it is not enough to just rely on a lot of supplements and practice in seclusion. I still need actual combat training. The strange beasts are the most ferocious and like to fight head-on. They are most suitable for practicing martial arts and strengthening the body. Why don't I go find the unknown strange beast in the valley for actual combat training?"
Qin Ziling subconsciously looked towards the cave leading to the depths of Wuyang Mountain, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind.
