Chapter 723 Corpse Refining Technique, Xuanyang Blazing Flame (asking for monthly votes)

From the moment he entered the cave, Song Qingming had a vague feeling that the owner of the cave deliberately built the cave in such a secret place, not only for his own safety, but also to hide some unknown secrets.

Seeing so many corpses of monks in front of him, Song Qingming finally guessed a little. The other party must be hiding here to practice the corpse refining technique, which is considered taboo by the righteous monks in the world of immortality.

The principles of corpse refining and corpse puppet refining are basically the same.

It's just that many of the corpse-refining techniques are directly refined from living people, and the speed of cultivating corpses is much faster than Song Qingming and others cultivating corpse puppets.

As long as there are sufficient resources, a golden elixir monk can easily cultivate ten or twenty refining corpses in the foundation building stage. If used well, this will definitely greatly improve the combat power of an ordinary golden elixir monk.

However, because of the corpse refining technique, the act of directly using living people to refine it is really too cruel, and is no different from the behavior of demonic monks.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the world of immortal cultivators unified the art of corpse refining as a taboo art. As long as someone is found practicing this evil method, the righteous monks will attack in groups.

After so many years, there are no sects in the world of immortality that are famous for the art of corpse refining, and many of the techniques and books on this art have been lost.

However, because the practice of corpse refining can enhance the combat power of monks a lot, even if the righteous monks in the world of immortality have regarded it as a forbidden art, there is still no way to completely eliminate it. Many casual cultivators choose to find a secret place. Hiding and cultivating secretly, the owner of the cave in front of him is most likely one of them.

It's just that they haven't found the other party yet. Although Song Qingming had some guesses in his mind, he didn't choose to tell Chen Yuting and the others directly because he didn't want to frighten them all at once.

After Song Qingming explained, he turned his eyes to the wall behind the wooden boxes. Just when he was about to step forward to investigate, there was a sudden movement from the wooden box next to him.

"Senior, this zombie seems to be still alive!"

Hearing a reminder from Chen Yuting behind him, Song Qingming quickly turned around and found that the corpses of the foundation-building monks he had just found suddenly came to life.

As soon as Song Qingming turned around and walked over, the corpses jumped out of the wooden box and started fighting with Chen Yuting and Luo Li who had already taken out their magic weapons.

Seeing the strange green light in the eyes of the corpses of these foundation-building monks, Song Qingming immediately saw that his previous guess was correct. These were the corpses that had been manipulated.

There are four corpses in the foundation-building stage, and the cultivation level is not very high. The most dangerous one is only in the middle-stage foundation-building stage. Moreover, because they have not been active for a long time, their strength has also weakened and is not as good as it was in its heyday.

Although there were twice as many as their opponents, the strength of the corpse-refining corpses without independent consciousness was still somewhat different from that of ordinary monks. They did not take any advantage against Chen Yuting and Luo Li, two mid-stage foundation-building monks.

Seeing that the two women were not in any danger, Song Qingming did not rush to intervene. Instead, he stood aside and quietly observed the corpses, wanting to see who was controlling them.

Seeing that Song Qingming did not directly intervene in the battle, as if he wanted to test the two's strength, Chen Yuting and Luo Li each used their most powerful magical means to quickly deal with the enemies in front of them.

Luo Li and Chen Yuting were from the East China Sea cultivator world, and they also often dealt with monsters in the sea. Although their fighting skills were not very strong among foundation-building monks, they were not weak by any means.

Song Qingming had already seen this when he met the two of them that day, so he felt free to leave these foundation-building corpses to the two of them to deal with.

Although they had no experience in dealing with this kind of corpse refining at the beginning, Luo Li and the other two could only barely hold on to their position and fight to a draw.

However, as time progressed, Luo Li took the lead in finding the weakness of these zombies who were afraid of fire-attribute spells, and found an opportunity to directly solve his opponent with a second-level fire-attribute talisman on his body.

Then Chen Yuting and Luo Li fought more and more bravely, gradually gaining the upper hand and suppressing each other.

After the fight between the two sides lasted for less than half an hour, only one middle-stage foundation-building corpse with a high level of cultivation was left on the battlefield. The other three opponents had been eliminated by Luo Li and the others.

Just when Luo Li and Chen Yuting were working together to kill the last refined corpse, a trace of blood mist suddenly appeared on the body of the man who was forced into the corner, followed by a strange blood light.

"Careful, stay back!"

Seeing the abnormal changes on the corpse, Song Qingming immediately reminded the two women, then ducked and leaned directly next to them.

Just when Chen Yuting and Luo Li pulled back, the spiritual energy on the corpse in front of them suddenly began to surge, and within a moment, the whole body exploded.

However, Song Qingming had already rushed to the two women at this time, and used his hands to directly hold up a protective shield in front of them, resisting the power of the self-destruction of the zombie.

"Blood Explosion Technique! These refining corpses are actually equipped with such a vicious secret method. The people who refined them are really vicious."

Chen Yuting and Luo Li were also a little frightened when they saw the refining corpse suddenly self-destructing.

If it hadn't been for Song Qingming's timely action just now, although the two of them could confidently avoid most of the power of the self-destruction of the corpse, they might have suffered some minor injuries.

Hearing Chen Yuting's words, Song Qingming was about to ask questions when he suddenly felt a danger coming from behind. He turned around and used his life-saving magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself.

Song Qingming had just taken defensive measures when he felt a very strong force that pushed him back several steps. He quickly strengthened his magic power and injected it into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to stabilize his body.

After blocking a sneak attack, Song Qingming, who felt that his opponent was as strong as himself, immediately took out another defensive magic weapon "White Dragon Ruler" to protect himself.

As the smoke and dust around him quickly dissipated, Song Qingming also saw clearly that the person who attacked him not far away was a white-haired old man wearing a gray Taoist robe and looking a little haggard.

This person held a very sharp third-grade upper-grade flying sword in his hand. He stood not far away and stared at Song Qingming and the other two. The pressure he exuded was even higher than Song Qingming's cultivation. It seemed that he had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core.

Seeing that the other party's cultivation was so high, Song Qingming was also a little unexpected, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Seeing that the other party had been looking at him strangely and had no intention of speaking, after thinking for a moment, Song Qingming took the lead and asked: "Daoyou, are you the owner of this cave?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, the gray-robed old man did not answer.

After a while, just when Song Qingming was about to ask again, the gray-robed old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of red light, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash, and the next moment he appeared in front of Song Qingming, and a sword directly slashed on the shield transformed by the "White Dragon Ruler".

Facing the sudden attack of the gray-robed old man, Song Qingming was also prepared long ago, desperately pouring the mana in his hand into the "White Dragon Ruler", steadily blocking the opponent's flying sword.

Only a loud "bang" was heard, and the gray-robed old man was directly bounced back by the white shield transformed by the "White Dragon Ruler", and the whole person also hit the wall not far away.

The "White Dragon Ruler", a third-level top-grade magic weapon, was found by Song Qingming from Zhao Jibai at the entrance to the "Tianyuan Sect" secret realm.

This magic weapon's defensive ability was already outstanding. After Song Qingming used the "Green Jade Refining Treasure Technique" to strengthen it, its power became even stronger than before.

Even if the gray-robed old man's cultivation was higher than his own and he had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, it was unlikely that he could break the defense of the "White Dragon Ruler" with one blow.

After defending against the opponent's attack, seeing that the opponent did not seem as difficult to deal with as he had imagined, Song Qingming felt a little more confident at this moment.

Before the gray-robed old man could stand firm, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" beside him had been controlled by him to surround from all sides, trying to trap the opponent directly in place.

The grey-robed old man holding the flying sword was about to continue the attack, but found himself attacked by several huge bronze mirrors. He quickly waved a few sword lights to resist the bronze mirrors in front of him, and escaped directly from the gap before the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" completed the encirclement.

The grey-robed old man who had just escaped saw that Song Qingming, who was not far away, seemed a little difficult to deal with. He suddenly looked at Song Qingming with some anger, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the location of the cave entrance, as if he wanted to escape from this cave.

However, when he arrived at the location of the cave entrance, a black-robed man was waiting here. He waved a sword light to block the grey-robed old man's way, forcing him to stop.

Song Qingming, who felt something strange inside, had been on guard since entering the cave. This black-robed man was the "Golden Wind" he deliberately left at the entrance of the cave to prevent accidents.

The gray-robed old man was blocked by the "golden wind", and this pause also gave Song Qingming, who was chasing after him, an opportunity to cast a spell to control two golden ring magic weapons to cover the gray-robed old man, making him unable to move for a while.

Then the five huge bronze mirrors transformed by the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" immediately followed, and surrounded the gray-robed old man from all sides.

Trapped by the two magic weapons "Golden Yaobao Halo" and "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", the gray-robed old man also felt bad, and hurriedly struggled to escape from this golden cage that made him a little uncomfortable.

However, Song Qingming obviously didn't want to let him out easily. The mana in his hand rushed into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and controlled the "Xuan Yang Qi" stored in the magic weapon to transform into a strong spiritual light and constantly burn the opponent.

This gray-robed old man seemed to be a little afraid of the Xuan Yang Qi in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror". Facing the burning of these hot spiritual energies, he actually shouted a few times in pain.

Seeing that it seemed difficult to escape from the predicament by himself, the gray-robed old man's eyes lit up with a strange red light again, and suddenly let out a roar that shook the entire underground cave slightly.

Before Song Qingming could see the opponent's movements clearly, he felt a sudden violent noise coming from the place where the large wooden boxes were placed not far behind him.

Song Qingming, who was struggling to control the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", turned his head and found that more than 20 Foundation Establishment stage corpses had appeared from nowhere and were rushing towards him quickly, as if they wanted to help rescue the trapped gray-robed old man.

These Foundation Establishment stage corpses were obviously stronger than the ones that Chen Yuting and the others had just dealt with. The lowest cultivation level was at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment, and many of them had already cultivated to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately conveyed instructions to "Golden Wind" who had been guarding the entrance of the cave, asking him to go and block these Foundation Establishment stage corpses so as not to affect his dealing with the gray-robed old man.

Although these corpses in the foundation-building stage are far less powerful than "Jinfeng", who has already reached the fourth level of the golden elixir.

However, what surprised Song Qingming was that they actually knew how to form a formation. More than 20 Foundation Establishment stage corpses formed a strange formation to fight with "Golden Wind" together, and for a while they did not lose much.

"Don't worry, Senior Song, we will stop these corpses!"

Seeing that the other party summoned these Foundation Establishment stage corpses, which were a bit difficult to deal with, Chen Yuting and Luo Li, who were watching the battle on the side, immediately took the initiative to help "Golden Wind" resist those Foundation Establishment stage corpses.

After observing for a while, seeing that they had stabilized their position and there was no danger, Song Qingming slowly felt relieved and concentrated on controlling the magic weapon to deal with the gray-robed old man trapped in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

After fighting with the other party for so long, Song Qingming gradually saw that this gray-robed old man was not a living cultivator, and like the corpses next to him, he had been dead for many years.

However, unlike other corpses, this gray-robed old man not only has a high level of cultivation, but also knows how to summon other corpses to help. He doesn't seem to be controlled by anyone.

Moreover, the other party fled immediately when he saw that he was difficult to deal with. Obviously, he is not an ordinary corpse without self-thinking. It is very likely that he has already developed some intelligence.

But now we don't know what his identity is, why he is trapped here, and who is controlling all this behind the scenes.

The gray-robed old man trapped in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" has been burned by the "Xuan Yang Qi" and has gradually become a little exhausted. However, he has not seen the foundation-building corpses outside come to help for a long time, and his heart is extremely anxious.

Seeing that the reinforcements outside can no longer be relied on, the gray-robed old man suddenly spit out a ball of blood mist from his mouth, and his whole momentum instantly climbed a few points. Then he directly hit the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him with his bare hands.

Although he had been prepared, the power of this attack was still beyond Song Qingming's expectation. With just one punch, he cracked his life-saving magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

Seeing that the opponent was desperate, Song Qingming knew that the battle had reached a critical moment.

He took out a drop of "Millennium Spirit Milk" from his body and swallowed it directly into his mouth. Song Qingming's mana, which had been consumed by more than half, was quickly restored. Then he poured all the "Green Jade Refining Treasure Art" he had practiced for many years into his life-saving magic weapon in front of him.

At this time, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" immediately increased its spiritual light, and a layer of light green spiritual light gradually covered the golden bronze mirror.

Then, under Song Qingming's strenuous control, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" shot out dozens of white spiritual lights, which turned into a giant hand in the air and grabbed the gray-robed old man who wanted to continue attacking the bronze mirror.

This white hand, which was transformed from spiritual light, was still carrying a large amount of "Xuan Yang Qi". As soon as it grabbed the gray-robed old man, it burned him and made him scream. Its power was much stronger than the "Golden Yaobao Aura" that Song Qingming had controlled before.

The white spiritual light in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" was the same as the purple spiritual light that could imprison the opponent's magic weapon before. It was the second magical power of Song Qingming's life magic weapon, "Xuan Yang Fiery Flame", which he had just cultivated not long ago after this magic weapon was promoted to the late Jindan period.

This "Xuan Yang Fiery Hand" is a magical power with relatively strong offensive ability. Once ordinary Jindan cultivators are caught by it, it will be difficult to escape. It contains white light with very powerful "Xuan Yang Qi", which can turn into flames to burn and consume opponents continuously.

After learning the powerful magical power of "Xuan Yang Fiery Flame", Song Qingming also had a more powerful offensive means when fighting with others.

Although it was the first time to use this magical power in battle, the power it showed also made Song Qingming's face show a bit of satisfaction.

After the gray-robed old man was caught by the giant hand transformed by "Xuan Yang Flame", he urged the blood light on his body and the black corpse gas in his body to get rid of Song Qingming's control.

However, even though he had used all his skills, it was still in vain. He could only watch the corpse gas on his body being slowly refined by the white light flame.

Although the magical power of "Xuan Yang Flame" consumes a lot of mana in the cultivator's body, Song Qingming has a residual map on his body that can help restore mana, so it is easier to use this magical power than ordinary people.

When the mana is insufficient, he can also take "Millennium Spirit Milk" to supplement it. This is also his greatest confidence to consume the opponent. As long as the opponent can't break free from the control of "Xuan Yang Flame", he will be defeated by him sooner or later.

On the other side, "Jinfeng" and Chen Yuting also firmly blocked those foundation-building corpses who came to support desperately. Song Qingming and his companions had already occupied an absolute advantage on the battlefield at this moment. They only needed more patience to get rid of their opponents.

Half an hour later, seeing that the corpse qi of the gray-robed old man trapped in the "Xuanyang Flame" had been completely refined by the white light, Song Qingming was relieved to open the white giant hand.

Although there was still a trace of blood in the gray-robed old man's eyes at this time, there was no corpse qi on his body. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only look at Song Qingming who was walking towards him unwillingly on the ground.

"Since you are dead, don't stay in the world and continue to cause trouble to the world. You can reincarnate as soon as possible to be reborn as a human being. I hope you will take care of yourself!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, a white talisman appeared in his hand, which was directly attached to the other party's forehead. Then he cast a spell and gently tapped the talisman. The gray-robed old man was stunned immediately, and then the whole person was motionless.

After a while, a cloud of white mist suddenly emerged from the body of the gray-robed old man and transformed into a human-shaped shadow in mid-air.

This phantom was the spirit of the old man in gray robe. He glanced at Song Qingming and without any further hesitation, he directly escaped into the underground netherworld and reincarnated.

Although there are monks fighting all the time in the world of immortality, they are generally not heinous enemies of life and death. After killing the opponent, the monks will let their souls reincarnate, so as not to be involved in the karma of heaven and earth for no reason.

Only when faced with the inheritance of demonic cultivators that do not belong to this interface, will they choose to kill the other party's souls to prevent these demonic cultivators from being reborn and continue to cause harm to the world.

Although the gray-robed old man is a refined corpse, because he was refined during his lifetime, his soul has been trapped in the corpse and cannot be reincarnated for hundreds of years.

Song Qingming released his soul this time, which can be regarded as a good thing, helping him to be completely liberated and reincarnated as a human being.

After dealing with the gray-robed old man, Song Qingming put his body and the flying sword magic weapon into a storage magic weapon, then turned around and immediately came to the side of the "Golden Wind" who was still entangled with those foundation-building corpses. here.

At this time, "Golden Wind" and the others had already gained some advantages and had eliminated seven or eight opponents. After Song Qingming joined the battlefield, he immediately accelerated the process of ending the battle, knocking them all down to the ground in less than a quarter of an hour. .

Since discovering this senior cave, Chen Yuting also thought that there might be some dangers inside, but she really didn't expect that it would be so dangerous after entering, and even the corpses of the golden elixir stage ran out.

If she hadn't brought Song Qingming here this time, if Chen Yuting entered this place alone, she would undoubtedly be a sheep crossing a tiger's mouth to die. Not only would she not get any spiritual objects, but she would also die.

Just after the battle, Chen Yuting, who was still a little frightened when she saw the corpses all over the ground, immediately turned around and came to Song Qingming, bowed and saluted:

"I didn't expect that there are so many powerful corpse refiners hidden here. If seniors hadn't come here with us, even if I could come in today, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out alive. I would like to thank my seniors for saving my life."

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately waved his hand and said: "Even if we have made an appointment to come with you, I will naturally take action if something happens. You don't have to think too much, just get up first."

After comforting Chen Yuting, Song Qingming took the two girls to search the foundation-building corpses and found many of the second-level magic weapons they used. Then Song Qingming cast a spell to incinerate all the corpses with elixir fire.

Looking at the flames burning slowly in front of him, Luo Li couldn't help but said, "I don't know who the master of this cave is. He actually refined so many living people into refined corpses. He has a really vicious heart."

As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, Chen Yuting immediately pointed to the position where these refined corpses had just appeared, and said to Song Qingming beside her:

"Senior, these refined corpses seem to have escaped from behind those wooden boxes. I think there must be some agency information hidden there. Let's go look for it and maybe we can find where the owner of the cave is hiding."

"Well! You guys stay here and don't go over there yet. I'll go check on the situation first."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he gave an order to "Golden Wind" and arranged for him to continue guarding the door of the cave before walking alone to the wall behind the pile of wooden boxes. (End of chapter)
