In the secret room of the new cave house, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. In his sea of consciousness, there was a black ancient book that was slowly turning the pages.
After a while, he opened his eyes and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
He had already comprehended the first level of the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison thoroughly, so he should be able to start practicing it.
With his cultivation that was close to the intermediate stage of the Condensation Period, it shouldn't be too difficult to practice the first level.
The only troublesome thing was the requirement to absorb a large amount of yin qi into the body every once in a while.
The place with yin qi was easy to find. Other than the Ghost Hell Region, the Sect had several special yin qi caves that were opened up. As long as he spent some contribution points, he could enter it to practice. However, he had to be wary of the half-human, half-ghost mutation after absorbing so much yin qi.
However, according to the ancient book, there was a kind of spiritual liquid called "Pure Yang Water" that could easily neutralize the harm of yin qi. Moreover, when yin and yang met, it could also bring other great benefits.
However, he had already inquired about it. Pure Yang Water was a kind of spiritual object in the legends. It also had incredible effects for some cultivators who practiced yang attribute techniques. A thousand years ago, a small bottle of Pure Yang Water appeared on the mainland. As a result, it caused a bloody storm before it disappeared in someone's hands.
It was simply wishful thinking for Liu Ming to find such a bottle again.
Fortunately, in addition to Pure Yang Water, there were some yang attribute elixirs and talismans that could also suppress and expel some of the harm of yin qi.
As the cultivation of the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison deepened, his body would also have a lot of resistance to yin qi.
In general, as long as he got through the initial difficulty, the harm of yin qi could basically be ignored.
Of course, the main reason why Liu Ming decided to take the risk to practice after hesitating for a long time was that the power of the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison was incomparable to other techniques in the Sect. He was simply unwilling to give it up.
After Liu Ming silently pondered for a long time, he made a gesture with one hand and the black ancient book in his mind immediately collapsed and disappeared.
After pondering for a while, he flipped his hand, and a black Jade Slips appeared in his palm.
It was the Jade Slips that Martial Uncle Yan had given him.
Back when he was in the giant city, he had been too busy and had never officially looked at the things recorded inside. Now, he could finally study the mysteries of this set of magic arts.
Liu Ming moved his arm and stuck the jade slip on his forehead. With a move of his mind, he was immersed in it.
Even within the Barbarian Ghost Sect, the Corpse Refining Technique was considered a high level technique. Even among the disciples of the Corpse Refining Faction, not everyone had the qualifications to truly practice the Corpse Refining Path.
This set of Corpse Refining Art was a set of corpse refining techniques that Martial Uncle Yan had created by combining the various corpse refining techniques of the Sect and himself for hundreds of years.
According to the Jade Slips, corpses could be divided into Bone Corpses, Blood Corpses, Iron Corpses, Silver Corpses, and Gold Corpses. Unless there were exceptions, all corpses had to advance step by step from low level to high level.
Of course, the various levels of corpses could also be divided into specific categories according to the method of sacrificial refining.
For example, Bone Corpses could be divided into Black Bone Corpses, White Bone Corpses, Blue Bone Corpses, and Blood Corpses could be divided into Poison Blood Corpses, Cold Blood Corpses, Fierce Blood Corpses, and so on.
As for Iron Corpses, there were Green Haired Iron Corpses, Dark Armored Iron Corpses, and so on.
The weakest Bone Corpses only had the cultivation of an ordinary Spirit Apostle, while the high level Silver Corpses and Gold Corpses had terrifying strength close to the Fake Dan or even Jin Dan level.
The Bone Ghosts that Liu Ming had seen in the Ghost Hell Region could be considered a type of Bone Corpse in a sense.
However, they were different from the Bone Corpses that had been refined using the Corpse Refining Technique. These Bone Ghosts that were formed by themselves were low-level ghosts that had been simply condensed from bones that had been soaked in Yin Qi for many years. Thus, their appearances were strange.
A true Bone Corpse had to be in the shape of a human. In order to form it, one needed to carefully select a good fresh corpse and soak it in some kind of Spirit Liquid for forty-nine days to melt all the flesh and blood on the outside. Then, they would be fished out and buried in a Yin Qi area for a hundred days before breaking out of the ground.
For these newly born Bone Corpses, the moment they developed intelligence, they would have to be directly erased by the refiner. Then, a trace of the refiner's imprint would be planted in their minds, turning them into a pure tool.
If a Bone Corpse was born and continued to be refined using various other methods for a long time, a thin layer of flesh and blood would be reborn on the surface of its body. There would be a certain chance that it would evolve into a Blood Corpse that could fight against a Liquid Level Spirit Master.
If this Blood Corpse had enough potential, it could evolve into a higher level Iron Corpse, Silver Corpse, and so on.
Different from normal Ghost Pets and White Demon Skeletons, these Refined Corpses could become clones of the refiner and use these Refined Corpses to perform some unimaginable secret techniques. This was the essence of the Corpse Refining Technique.
According to the Corpse Refining Technique, as long as there was a fresh corpse that met the requirements for the lowest level Bone Corpse, one out of three or four would succeed, which was considered relatively easy to produce. However, when it came to Blood Corpses, not even one out of ten Bone Corpses would be able to continue advancing.
Higher level Iron Corpses were even more difficult to produce. Even if there were dozens of Blood Corpses, not one would be able to advance.
As for Silver Corpses and Gold Corpses, they were existences that were close to legends. The entire Barbarian Ghost Sect had been established for so many years, but it seemed that there had never been a Refined Corpse of this level.
Even a Crystal Level expert like Martial Uncle Yan, who specialized in corpse refining techniques, only had a Green Hair Iron Corpse.
On the Jade Slips, other than some introductions to these Refined Corpses, the rest of the records were all about the methods to refine various Refined Corpses, as well as some unique secret techniques that could be used in conjunction with them. Every one of them was an eye-opener for Liu Ming, and at the same time, he was secretly shocked.
According to the records in the Jade Slips, if one could have a Refined Corpse that they had refined themselves, not only would they be able to use many strange secret techniques that were far beyond their own abilities, it would also be equivalent to having a second life. If they encountered a heavy injury that they could not bear, they could directly use the Refined Corpse as a substitute to block the calamity.
Refining Corpses could actually be so practical!
After reading it, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate and he had a great feeling of eagerness to give it a try.
However, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
Although this Refined Corpse was very useful, he currently had the Dragon Tiger Hell Method and the Flying Sword Technique that he had yet to cultivate, so how could he spend too much time on it?
However, Martial Uncle Yan seemed to attach great importance to this Refined Corpse Art. He had already reminded him twice to cultivate this technique, which made him feel a little awkward.
"Forget it! Although it's not possible to spend too much time refining a Refined Corpse, it's fine to take some time to study the Refined Corpse Art and other related secret techniques. This way, if I encounter similar enemies in the future, I won't be helpless. "
After pondering for a moment, Liu Ming also had an idea in his heart.
Thus, in the following time, Liu Ming began to carefully study the Refined Corpse Technique recorded on the Jade Slips.
… …
At the same time, in the forbidden area of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, a stone house made entirely of black stones was filled with bursts of strange cold air.
On a sparkling and translucent jade bed, two silhouettes were sitting facing each other, motionless.
One of them had triangular hair and was dressed in a grey robe. It was Martial Uncle Yan.
Opposite him was a tall figure that was completely submerged in a ball of green mist. His face was blurry, and only two balls of silver flames could be vaguely seen pulsating in his eye sockets.
Martial Uncle Yan closed his eyes and lowered his head. His hands were pressed against the two palms that were covered in thick green hair. At the same time, his mouth and nose would occasionally spray out a finger-thick milky white cold mist, causing the entire stone house to become even colder.
After an unknown period of time, the white cold mist in Martial Uncle Yan's mouth stopped. At the same time, he opened his eyes and slowly withdrew his hands.
He looked at the tall figure opposite him for a long time before sighing and muttering to himself:
"Are you a little excited? It seems that you also feel that you are about to advance! I really don't know if keeping you here is a right thing or a wrong thing. No matter what, keeping you here gives me a glimmer of hope, right? "
After saying these words, the old man seemed to have convinced himself. After pondering for a while, he stretched out his hands and once again blocked the ferocious palms. He closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
… …
Half a year later, in a certain underground hall of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, there was a huge cave that was about an acre in size. Countless Yin Qi surged out of it and filled the entire cave.
Close to the huge cave, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a praying mat with his eyes closed. His body was also surging with black Qi, and countless dark runes vaguely appeared. An incredible invisible suction force was produced from it, pulling all the Yin Qi in the vicinity towards him.
Liu Ming's face was expressionless, but the black Qi on the surface of his body gradually condensed and formed a vague black python that coiled around his body several times.
After another half a month, he was still meditating near the cave, but four claws grew out of the black python's abdomen. A single horn began to grow on his head, and scales vaguely condensed on the surface of his body. His body was clearly clearer and more solid than before.
At the same time, some strange black lines could be faintly seen on the side of Liu Ming's face.
A year later, the entire Yunchuan Continent's cultivation world was in an uproar.
Including the Da Xuan Empire, more than a dozen countries' Sects all issued a unified announcement.
Dozens of large and small sects belonging to the human race would form the Yunchuan Sect Alliance. They would also send some disciples to form the Alliance Guard, which would only be under the unified jurisdiction of the Alliance. They would also openly recruit individual cultivators from all countries to join.
Except for those evil cultivators and those who betrayed the sect, no matter what crimes they had committed in the past, as long as they could enter the Alliance Guard, they would not be pursued. Moreover, the sects would hand over some cultivation books and provide amazing resources for the members of the Alliance Guard to cultivate.
In addition, what attracted the attention of countless cultivators was the rumor about the Three True Six Disciples.
