Inside the mountain, the Corpse Sect disciples were silent.
Everyone had a premonition that the familiar Great Elder had returned.
Before this, although all kinds of evidence showed that the young man in front of them was the Grand Elder's possessed body, his personality was very different from Grand Elder Qian Huan's.
The benevolent-looking Grand Elder Qian Huan was actually the most ruthless and cruel.
Those who disobeyed him in the Corpse Sect had all become real corpses.
This young and handsome face gave Xu Shiqi and the dozen people an illusion.
No matter how handsome and kind he was, his soul was still Grand Elder Qian Huan's soul.
Xu Shiqi and the others had forgotten an important thing. There was an unwritten rule in the Corpse Sect — obey the Grand Elder, and disobey the Grand Elder's corpse.
The Grand Elder's skill just now had completely subdued all the Corpse Sect disciples inside the mountain.
No one dared to have any objections. If they left the Glory Sect, they might be in trouble in the future. If they betrayed the Grand Elder, they had to die now. Who wouldn't want to live a little longer? The Glory Sect was just an illusion to them. Their lives were more important now …
Chen Shiqi gathered his courage and asked softly, "Grand Elder, let's follow the old rules and refine these traitors?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need to waste materials. Lock them up first. They might be useful in the future."
Chen Shiqi said respectfully, "Yes, Grand Elder."
The dozen people were taken away. The remaining disciples stood even more respectfully at the side.
Li Mu moved the Corpse Sect disciples emotionally and logically. He even gave them the right to choose. The Corpse Sect disciples were still determined to be loyal to him and stay in the Corpse Sect. Li Mu was very pleased.
He dismissed most of the people and asked, "How's the refining of the ten demon corpses going?"
Speaking of this, Chen Shiqi and the others showed pride on their faces. They said, "Grand Elder, eight of the demon corpses have all been successfully refined, and their cultivations have all reached the sixth realm …"
The eight demon corpses were all seventh realm great demons when they were alive. The demon race's bodies were extremely strong. After death, their corpses could reach the sixth realm through a secret technique.
If the White Emperor's corpse received the original memories, his own corpse would be able to reach the Eighth Realm in a short period of time. He would also have two Seventh Realm and eight Sixth Realm subordinates under him. His strength would even surpass the various Dao sects.
No one knew where the White Emperor Demonic Corpse had run off to. Ever since it escaped from the Demonic Emperor Space, there had been no news of it.
If he could capture it and bring it back, Li Mu would refine it even if he had to sell everything he had. It was the corpse of a Ninth Tier elite when it was alive, so it had the potential to become a Eighth Tier Demonic Corpse.
Li Mu asked again, "What about the two level-eight demonic corpses?"
This was what he was most concerned about. They were too powerful when they were alive. If there were no problems during the refinement process, then in principle, after the refinement, their cultivation could reach the seventh level.
Speaking of the two Yao corpses, Chen Shiyi said regretfully, "Reporting to First Elder, refining these eight Yao corpses has already exhausted all of the Corpse Sect's accumulated resources. We no longer have the materials to refine these two corpses."
Li Mu had high hopes for the two demon corpses.
With two Seventh Tier bodyguards behind him, who would dare to speak loudly to him in the future?
Li Mu looked at Chen Shiyi and said, "What other materials do you lack? I will give them to you."
Chen Shiyi counted with his fingers and said, "At least 10,000 pieces of Spiritual Jade, Diamond Jade, Bone Growing Grass, and various other body-refining materials, 49 by 7..."
Li Mu thought of the less than 1,000 pieces of Spiritual Jade he had left and waved his hand. "If you can't gather them all, then slowly gather them. There's no rush..."
Li Mu stayed in the Corpse Sect for two days, intending to study these eight Yao corpses properly.
He could not count on the two Yao corpses for the time being.
Although these eight corpses had all barely reached the Sixth Tier and would not be a match for a real Sixth Tier elite in a one-on-one fight, there was strength in numbers. The eight corpses formed the Eight Desolation Corpse Refining Formation, and even a Seventh Tier elite would have to avoid it.
Only now did Li Mu have some confidence in protecting himself in front of a Seventh Tier elite.
Qian Huanzhen was a genius. He had studied corpses to the extreme in his entire life, and also had high attainments in formations. Li Mu had benefited from his memories until now.
Just as Li Mu was studying formations in seclusion, Chen Shiyi came to report that the Sage Sect had sent envoys.
Although the Corpse Sect had become a traitor, they would not be so stupid as to directly fall out with the Sage Sect. Chen Shiyi carefully came to report to Li Mu. Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Go receive them and see what they want."
Chen Shiyi returned to the belly of the mountain and bowed to a man with a black lotus embroidered on his chest. He asked carefully, "May I know the reason for your visit?"
The man waved his sleeve, and a corpse appeared on the stone platform in the belly of the mountain.
He looked at Chen Shiyi and the others and said calmly, "I want you to refine this corpse into a Yao corpse. This Yao was a Seventh Tier elite when it was alive. How long will it take for you to refine it into a Sixth Tier Yao corpse?"
If it was a year ago, Chen Shiyi would have been very excited to see the corpse of such an elite. But now, he had seen bigger scenes. This kind of small scene could no longer cause any ripples in his heart.
He pretended to think carefully for a while and said, "At least a year, and it will require a lot of spiritual jades and refining materials. The Corpse Sect cannot gather them all at once. By the time they do, it will probably be eight to ten years later..."
After all, they had already betrayed the Demon Sect under the leadership of the Grand Elder. He might as well take the opportunity to extort them.
The Sage Sect envoy frowned and said, "Eight to ten years is too long. What materials do you need? I will bring them to you next time."
Chen Shiyi thought for a long time and said slowly, "Twenty thousand spiritual jades, Diamond Jade, Bone Growing Grass, and other body refining materials..."
After hearing him, the Sage Sect envoy's lips trembled and he said angrily, "Do you think I am stupid? Isn't it just refining a corpse? It needs twenty thousand spiritual jades and eighty-one precious materials..."
Chen Shiyi shrugged and said, "If you are not willing to pay these, we can also refine it. However, the strength of the spirit corpse refined this way may only be at the Fifth Tier. The more spiritual jades and the more materials, the stronger the spirit corpse refined will be. If we can gather these materials, the spirit corpse refined will be at most at the middle stage of the Sixth Tier, infinitely close to the late stage..."
The anger on the Sage Sect envoy's face gradually dissipated. Thinking carefully, what this person said made sense.
How could the quality of something refined without using materials be the same as something refined with a large amount of precious materials? To him, the stronger the spirit corpse, the better.
Although these things were not easy to get, he could go back and apply for them. Since he wanted to refine a corpse, he wanted to refine the best one.
He quickly made a decision and said, "I will send these things to you within a month."
Chen Shiyi added, "I will write a list for you in a moment. Remember to make two copies of the materials. If one copy fails, you have to prepare again and waste time. Two copies is safer..."
Li Mu stood in a stone room in the mountainside. After a while, Chen Shiyi came in with a long list in his hand. He asked, "First Elder, is there anything else you need? Write it down. Anyway, there is only one chance. It would be a waste if you don't write it down..."
Li Mu felt that what he said made sense. He did not collect the elixirs needed to refine the Breakthrough Elixir. Those elixirs did not exist on the Zu Continent. Some were in Xuan Continent, some were in Yuan Continent, some were in Changzhou, and some were in Juku Continent and Fenglin Continent. If he wanted to collect them, he would have to go to all ten continents.
He picked up the pen and was about to write when he thought about his handwriting. He handed the pen to Chen Shiyi and said, "I will say. You write."
Since he had worked undercover for Phantom Princess for a few months, he had developed a good habit of paying attention to details.
Not long after, on the mountainside platform, the messenger of the sage sect looked at the list that was long enough to drag on the ground. He said in disbelief, "These are all?"
Chen Shiyi nodded seriously and said, "All of them."
The messenger of the sage sect pointed to the bottom part and said, "The rest is fine. These elixirs have nothing to do with refining corpses. What do you want them for?"
Chen Shiyi shook his head and said, "Do you know as much about refining corpses as we do? These elixirs seem to have nothing to do with refining corpses, but their medicinal properties can complement each other and increase the success rate of refining corpses..."
Chen Shiyi talked for almost an hour and finally convinced the messenger of the sage sect. He left the demon corpse and flew away with a painful face.
Chen Shiyi watched him go and then let out a long sigh of relief. He said with lingering fear, "If he had not left, I would not have been able to make it up anymore..."
On the mountainside platform.
Li Mu looked at the middle-aged man's corpse on the platform. It looked similar to Phantom Princess. His expression was a little complicated...
