What kind of monster was he?
He was a sixth-layer Qi cultivator, yet he was beaten by a child to the point where he couldn't get up. His insides had already turned into mush. If he wasn't treated in time, he would die in less than half an hour! "I should be the one asking you that. Who the hell are you? Did you create the red-dressed female corpse?"
Ning Qi said calmly.
The old man's eyes flashed, but then he smiled bitterly. "I heard there was a murder here, so I came to see if the murderer is still here. Little brother, you've misunderstood me."
Ning Qi raised his right foot and stomped down. The huge force flattened the old man's foot and crushed the bluestone on the ground.
The piercing pain made the old man let out a miserable howl that was neither human nor ghost.
"Don't play dumb with me. I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell me, I'll kill you."
Ning Qi said calmly.
The old man endured the pain and looked at Ning Qi in a daze. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "I … killed him!"
Whoosh! A gust of cold wind blew.
The Red-Shirted Corpse who was initially in the room suddenly appeared behind Ning Qi and lunged at him. Her fingernails instantly grew a few inches long, emitting a faint glow, like the sharp claws of a beast.
Ning Qi raised his hand gently.
With just a single palm strike, the red-robed corpse was reduced to ashes and sent to the afterlife.
The old man's face turned pale. "You're a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
Ning Qi looked at the old man and smiled. "I was going to give you one last chance, but since you won't tell me … I'll tell you!"
The old man made a prompt decision. He no longer held any hope of getting lucky. "I did raise this zombie, but I didn't kill her. The one who killed her was someone from the Duan Residence.
I was just passing by and saw that the Yin energy lingered after her death. The Duan Residence is located in a place of extreme Yin, so it's very suitable for raising corpses. That's why I helped her take revenge. I'm not a bad person! "
Not a bad person?
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with mockery.
"If you're not a bad person, then who is?"
"Senior, I am willing to offer you the method of cultivating corpses and tell you a secret place. There is a copper-armored corpse comparable to the Gold Core stage. With Senior's cultivation, there is a 90% chance that you can refine the copper-armored corpse for your own use!"
The old man's desire to live was extremely strong. As he spoke, he took out an ancient book.
Ning Qi casually took it and flipped through it a few times. The ancient book was indeed a method to nurture corpses. This could be considered a pleasant surprise. Even though it was useless, it would be an additional layer of protection in the Yang Realm if he could understand an additional celestial technique.
"The place you mentioned really has a bronze-armored corpse?"
Ning Qi said lightly.
Seeing that Ning Qi was moved, the old man hurriedly nodded. "This matter is absolutely true. I absolutely dare not deceive Senior. It's just that my cultivation is shallow and I don't have the confidence to refine the copper-armored corpse. But Senior is different. Senior is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. With my Corpse Nurturing Technique, Senior can certainly easily refine the copper-armored corpse, comparable to a Golden Core Stage ancestor!"
"Oh?
A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could refine a copper-armored corpse that was comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator?
Do you think I'm inexperienced? "
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
"I dare not, under normal circumstances, the copper-armored corpse is indeed difficult to refine unless several Golden Core Stage cultivators join forces.
But the place this junior knows is the place where the ancestor of this junior's sect passed away. This junior is now the only one left in this junior's sect. The copper-armored corpse was passed down from generation to generation by the sect elders, but this junior's cultivation is not enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I can't obtain the inheritance.
As long as I use the Corpse Nurturing Technique of our sect, I can easily refine the copper-armored corpse. This junior can lead the way for Senior, and Senior will know if this junior is lying or not. "
The old man hurriedly said.
"In that case, your sect can also have a copper-armored corpse comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator. It should be regarded as a first-class sect in the world. Why is there only you, a mere disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining, left?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
He did have a little interest in the copper-armored corpse. He couldn't use magic weapons, but the copper-armored corpse could replace the function of magic weapons. In addition, he also had the irrigation technique, but he didn't know if this technique would work on the copper-armored corpse.
If it could, the value of the copper-armored corpse would be very different.
The ancient book the old man gave him recorded the levels of corpse nurturing. Above the copper-armored corpse was the silver-armored corpse, which was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it was very difficult to advance. It needed to drink the blood of ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
If the irrigation technique could be used on the copper-armored corpse, Ning Qi could ignore this advancement requirement and directly use spirit energy to advance the copper-armored corpse.
"Alas …" The old man suddenly let out a long sigh. "This matter is really difficult to explain in a few words. It can also be considered the doom of our sect. Seventy years ago, when I just entered the Mystic Corpse Sect, the Mystic Corpse Sect was one of the top sects in the Northern Frontier. They had ten copper-armored corpses. Although they didn't have a Nascent Soul cultivator, ordinary sects didn't dare to cause trouble.
The good times didn't last long. A year after I entered the Mystic Corpse Sect, I don't know which elder offended a True Immortal descendant. During the decennial celebration of the Mystic Corpse Sect, several Nascent Soul cultivators came and killed everyone in the Mystic Corpse Sect. I was young at the time and happened to leave the mountain, so I escaped.
When I returned to the Mystic Corpse Sect, there were corpses everywhere. I also found this corpse nurturing technique from an elder. It was also from him that I learned that the Mystic Corpse Sect has an ancestral land where copper-armored corpses exist. If someone from the Mystic Corpse Sect advances to the Golden Core Realm, they can go to the ancestral land to refine the copper-armored corpses. "
At this point, the old man's face revealed a sincere expression. "Senior, what junior said is absolutely true. As long as senior is willing to spare junior's life, junior will take senior to the ancestral land."
"I'll believe you for the time being. Lead the way."
Ning Qi pondered for a few breaths, then nodded with a faint smile.
The old man immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he led Ning Qi in the direction of the Ancestor's Land. Ning Qi found that it was in the same direction as where he originally wanted to go. It happened to be on the way.
"Do you know the Celestial Pupil Technique?"
Ning Qi suddenly asked.
"Of course junior knows this."
The old man hurriedly said.
"Then do you know what's ahead?
Why is the Spirit Qi so dense? "
Ning Qi smiled.
"Ahead?
Dense Spirit Qi? "
The old man was slightly startled. Spiritual energy flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't see anything. Then, he realized that the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and could see much further than him.
After pondering for a few breaths, the old man said, "The place senior is talking about might be Jinling City. That's a fourth-class city in the Northern Borderline, which is guarded by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
During this time, Jinling City is holding the Sword Appreciation Festival, which is held once every five years. The dense Spirit Qi that senior saw might have something to do with the gathering of various cultivators in Jinling City. "
"Sword Appreciation Festival?
That's interesting. "
Ning Qi's eyes lit up slightly.
Swords, flying swords.
Flying swords were Dharma treasures, and Dharma treasures were Spirit Qi values. It seemed that he was going to make a huge profit this time.
