Chapter 724 Heavenly Corpse Taoist, Karma (asking for monthly votes)

From the moment those foundation-building corpse-refining corpses first appeared, Song Qingming already knew that they all ran out from behind the wooden boxes, and immediately agreed with Chen Yuting's words.

However, it is not yet known if there are any other dangers in the cave. For the sake of safety, Song Qingming asked Luo Li not to get close there until he could check the situation clearly.

After searching carefully behind the wooden box, Song Qingming quickly found a very hidden secret door on the wall. After opening it, a small hole only big enough for one person was revealed behind the secret door.

After finding the entrance, Song Qingming patted the spirit beast bag on his waist and released two "golden fantasy butterflies" to direct them to enter the cave directly.

After a while, after sensing the message from the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" from the cave, Song Qingming waved to Luo Li and the other two and led them into the cave together.

After walking along the small hole for about a few dozen feet, Song Qingming quickly jumped into a cave that was several times larger and wider than the outside.

This cave is much cleaner and tidier than the outside. There is not much mess. Apart from some daily necessities, there is only a desk and a few rows of wooden shelves filled with various books.

As soon as he walked into this place, Song Qingming felt a rich spiritual energy coming from the surroundings, which seemed to have reached the standard of third-level spiritual veins. After taking a few steps forward, he discovered that this rich spiritual energy came from a spring.

"It turns out that there is also an Eye of Spiritual Spring here. No wonder a Golden elixir monk chose this cave." Chen Yuting, who came in behind Song Qingming, saw the spring not far away and immediately couldn't help but sigh.

The aura emanating from this "Eye of the Spiritual Spring" is close to the third-level mid-grade, which is enough to accommodate the daily cultivation needs of a golden elixir monk. This thing is something that some casual golden elixir cultivators will be jealous of outside.

It's a pity that there is no way to move this "Eye of the Spiritual Spring". Chen Yuting looked at the spring in front of her and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Seeing this, Luo Li on the side also stepped forward to take a look, and then said with a smile: "Sister Chen, don't worry about the things that can't be taken away. Let's hurry up and find other spiritual objects. A senior Jindan." There must be a lot of good things in the cave.”

Hearing Luo Li's words of comfort, Chen Yuting immediately came to her senses and started searching the cave with her.

Song Qingming took the initiative to walk to the desk and looked at some of the classics on it, hoping to see if he could find any information about the owner of the cave.

Just before entering, Song Qingming had used the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" to carefully explore the cave, and found no strange smell. The danger here had been eliminated, so the three of them acted bolder than before outside.

After scanning around, Song Qingming found that the books on the table were basically books related to learning alchemy and weapon refining, which showed that the master of the cave was still very studious and versatile.

Not finding anything useful to him on the table, Song Qingming turned his attention to the wooden shelf at the back and scanned all the books and secrets that he could see.

Until he picked up a circle of relatively simple bamboo slips, Song Qingming's originally very calm expression finally became a little serious.

"Sure enough, there is such a thing as the art of corpse refining." After Song Qingming used his spiritual consciousness to explore the secret method in the bamboo slips, he picked it out and put it aside.

"Senior Song, come quickly, we found a secret room here!"

Just when Song Qingming was about to check other books, he suddenly heard Luo Li not far away calling him, and he quickly put down the books in his hands and walked over to her.

Luo Li and Chen Yuting were standing in front of a mountain wall. Song Qingming, who had just walked over, saw a crack in the wall and immediately understood that there should be a secret room here.

After asking the two girls to step back, Song Qingming took out the "White Dragon Ruler" to protect himself, then stepped forward and pushed hard.

Soon, with the sound of stones grinding together, a stone chamber four to five feet wide appeared directly in front of Song Qingming's eyes.

Looking up and looking inside, he found several figures standing not far away with their backs to him. Song Qingming suddenly became nervous and poured his magic power into the magic weapon in front of him.

However, what surprised Song Qingming was that these figures just stood there motionless, and they did not emit any powerful aura.

After realizing that the other party seemed to be "refining corpses", Song Qingming slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After turning around and waving to the two women behind him, he walked directly into the stone room in front of him.

When Luo Li entered the door and saw several "refined corpses" standing inside, they were also startled.

However, when they saw Song Qingming approaching those "refining corpses", they still remained motionless and did not emit any aura. They understood instantly and walked into the stone chamber with confidence.

"This should be the place where that person made the refined corpses. These refined corpses should be semi-finished products that have not been completely refined. Otherwise, they should have gone out to deal with us just now."

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Chen Yuting and Chen Yuting nodded quickly, and then searched the stone room with their eyes.

In addition to several "refining corpses" near the door, this stone room also has a huge refining furnace, as well as many various materials and ores used for refining weapons.

Located in the innermost place, there is a golden futon with a hint of sparkle, which immediately attracted the attention of Song Qingming and the others.

Just as the three of them were about to put away the spiritual object, Luo Li, who was more observant, saw a dusty round jade pendant behind the futon and hurried over to pick it up.

After wiping the dust off the jade pendant, Luo Li hurriedly shouted to Song Qingming who came to his side: "Senior, look, this seems to be a storage magic weapon."

Taking the jade pendant handed over by Luo Li, Song Qingming tried to wrap the jade pendant with his own magic power, and immediately felt a trace of spatial spiritual energy coming from it, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

"We are really lucky. This is indeed a storage magic weapon that can only be used by Jindan cultivators."

"Oh! It is indeed a storage magic weapon. That's great. I haven't found the owner of the cave yet. I thought that this was all I had gained. I didn't expect that the storage magic weapon was hidden here.

It's just a little strange. We have found the storage magic weapon, but why can't we see the skeleton of the owner of the cave? Could it be that he really didn't die in this cave?"

After seeing Song Qingming confirm that the jade pendant in front of him was a storage magic weapon, Chen Yuting was happy at first, and then spoke out her doubts.

There was nothing else around the futon except the storage magic weapon found by several people. Everything in the entire stone chamber was basically visible.

Since the three people came in, they searched the entire cave but didn't find the most important remains of the owner of the cave. Chen Yuting couldn't help but feel a little worried. The storage magic weapon in front of her might be abandoned by the owner of the cave, and there was nothing good.

After hearing what Chen Yuting said, Song Qingming smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "This is indeed a bit strange, but since we have obtained this storage magic weapon, let's open it and take a look!

Even if there are no other spiritual objects in it, this jade pendant alone can be exchanged for a lot of spiritual stones. Although it is a bit dangerous for us to come here, we have also gained something. Next, it depends on fate."

"What the senior said is that since we have found a storage magic weapon, let's open it and take a look. If it is really the opportunity we deserve, there will naturally be something in it.

This time we came here to search for treasures, we have done our best. If the things in this cave are really beyond our reach, it can only be that our opportunities are not enough." As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, Luo Li on the side also echoed.

Song Qingming and Chen Yuting smiled slightly when they heard her words.

Although they both knew that opportunities cannot be forced, they still had a little expectation for the things in the storage magic weapon in their hearts. In this regard, they were not as open-minded as Luo Li.

After casting a spell to cremate the "corpses" in the stone chamber, Song Qingming came to the "Eye of the Spiritual Spring" outside and used the abundant spiritual energy here to cast a spell to break the restriction on the storage magic tool jade pendant.

This storage magic tool has not been used for at least hundreds of years. The restrictions set by the original owner have been automatically weakened a lot. It took Song Qingming less than a day to successfully break the restrictions on the jade pendant and successfully open this storage magic tool.

Seeing Song Qingming probe his spiritual consciousness into the jade pendant, Chen Yuting and Luo Li, who were standing by, also showed a hint of nervousness on their faces.

After a while, seeing Song Qingming open his eyes calmly, Chen Yuting asked hurriedly: "Senior Song, is there any spiritual object inside? Is this the storage magic tool of the cave owner?"

Song Qingming smiled and nodded to the two women and said: "I just took a rough look. There are many spiritual objects and tens of thousands of spiritual stones and other miscellaneous items inside. It should be the owner of the cave."

"Haha! If so, this time we finally didn't run in vain." Hearing what Song Qingming said, Luo Li and Chen Yuting immediately hugged each other excitedly.

Seeing the two women so happy, Song Qingming smiled and said nothing more. He cast a spell to take out all the spiritual objects in the jade pendant.

Seeing the mountains of spiritual stones and various high-level spiritual objects in front of Song Qingming, Chen Yuting and Luo Li were dazzled for a while. Some of them couldn't believe that these things in front of them were what they had just found.

Seeing Song Qingming put the jade pendant aside and began to count the spiritual objects in front of him, Luo Li and the other two immediately stepped forward to help. The three of them spent another quarter of an hour to count all the spiritual objects inside.

The more valuable spiritual objects in this storage magic tool include three magic weapons, five third-level spiritual talismans, a third-level medium-quality flying boat, and more than 20,000 spiritual stones.

In addition, there are a bunch of secret manuals of martial arts and many classics of learning and practicing skills such as refining tools and alchemy, as well as some refining materials and other sundries.

In the process of sorting out these martial arts classics, Song Qingming accidentally turned to several secret methods about the art of corpse refining, so he picked them up and looked at them carefully.

Chen Yuting, who didn't want to be beside him, glanced at the three words "Heavenly Corpse Jue" written on the secret book held by Song Qingming, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"How could this person have the Heavenly Corpse Technique? Could he be the Heavenly Corpse Taoist who has been missing in the Red Star Sea for more than 600 years?"

"Heavenly Corpse Taoist? Where did this person come from?" After hearing Chen Yuting's words and seeing that the other party recognized the origin of the cave owner, Song Qingming immediately asked with some curiosity.

Seeing this, Chen Yuting paused for a moment to sort out her thoughts, and then answered: "Senior Song, you don't know that this Heavenly Corpse Taoist was a Jindan casual cultivator who terrorized our Red Star Sea hundreds of years ago.

This person has not only reached the peak of the Golden Core, but also practiced a very powerful corpse refining technique. Although he was born as a casual cultivator, he is a person that the major sects nearby dare not provoke at will.

However, Tianshi Taoist suddenly left the Red Star Sea six hundred years ago and disappeared. Some people said that he went to other immortal cultivation worlds to seek the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul when his life span was about to end. Some people also said that he fell in a secret place outside.

This Tianshi Jue is the unique corpse refining technique he practiced. If I am not mistaken, it seems that this cave should belong to Tianshi Taoist. No wonder so many corpses appeared to attack us just now. "

"Oh! You mean his cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core. Could it be that the late Golden Core corpse that just fought with me outside is this person? ”

Hearing Chen Yuting's introduction, Song Qingming suddenly remembered the gray-robed old man he had fought with before, and couldn't help feeling that this man was somewhat similar to the Taoist Tianshi she mentioned.

"What Senior Song said is indeed somewhat similar, but this Taoist Tianshi has already become famous six hundred years ago. I have only heard of him from the classics left by my family, and I don't know much about him.

I just heard that the Taoist Tianshi was also extremely cruel in the past. In order to practice the art of refining corpses, he killed several small sects in the Red Star Sea.

Later, several major Jindan sects in the Red Star Sea jointly hunted him down, and even attracted the nearby Yuanying sect to take action. As a result, the Taoist Tianshi was also very powerful. He was surrounded by five Jindan ancestors on Baibi Island. After a big battle, he was still seriously injured and escaped.

In the end, it only forced the Taoist Tianshi to disappear for a while, and soon returned to the Red Star Sea, but his evil behavior was much more restrained than before, and few people saw him again.

It's really unexpected that the Taoist Tianshi has been hiding near the Red Star Sea, but it's a little early to say this now. I'm not sure whether it's this person or not. "

"It doesn't matter! I'll know whether it's him or not after I check it out."

Song Qingming replied softly, and then waved his hand to take out the flying sword magic weapon that had just been put away by the gray-robed old man, and put it together with the magic weapons found in the jade pendant.

Then he cast a spell and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the remaining cultivator's mark on it, and found that it was exactly the same as he thought, which also proved that these magic weapons were used by the same person.

"Yes, there is a breath of this person on these magic weapons, which can confirm that the person who just fought with me is the Taoist Tianshi. "

It has been so long since we found the owner of the cave, and we didn't expect that this person had already turned into a "refined corpse", which made the three people's faces show a trace of surprise.

"This thief has practiced for hundreds of years and committed many evil things. At the end of his life, he turned into a refined corpse and did not enter the cycle of reincarnation. It is really karma!"

"The world is full of reincarnation, and the cause and effect are all predetermined, but we can't feel it normally. People who practice need to correct their behavior to achieve the great way. "Hearing what Luo Li said, Song Qingming's face also showed a trace of thoughtfulness.

Through previous observations and the corpse refining techniques that Song Qingming had seen before, Song Qingming could probably guess why this "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" turned himself into a corpse.

This person's life span is coming to an end, and he has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It is estimated that he relied on this corpse refining technique to take some evil path to extend his life span, but something went wrong and he eventually turned himself into a "corpse" with incomplete intelligence.

Otherwise, he would not have left his storage magic tool with him and was thrown aside like an ordinary spiritual object.

For To confirm his guess, Song Qingming opened the "Heavenly Corpse Art" left by the Taoist Tianshi and scanned it carefully. As expected, he found a secret method similar to refining himself into a corpse king.

According to the above records, if this method can be successful, one can directly switch to the way of corpse ghosts and make oneself a "corpse king" with the same intelligence as ordinary people.

The so-called "corpse king" is the same as the "golden elixir ghost king" that Song Qingming had seen in the past. They belong to the way of corpse ghosts that are not tolerated by righteous cultivators.

Although practicing this way can enjoy a much longer life than normal cultivators, after all, the physical body has been transformed into a corpse ghost, and the path of advancement is much slower than that of ordinary normal cultivators. There are many, and it is difficult for their luck to be favored by the Heavenly Dao.

Except for people like "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" who are about to die and are unwilling to reincarnate and cultivate again, normal cultivators will not have the idea of ​​following this corpse ghost path abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

This "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" tried to refine himself into a "corpse king" and wanted to switch to the corpse ghost path to prolong his life, but he failed in the end and turned himself into a "corpse refiner" with incomplete intelligence.

Because of this, although the "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" who became a corpse refiner still has magical powers that are not inferior to those of Jindan cultivators, because of the lack of intelligence, he can't even open the restrictions he originally set up, which is why he was trapped in the cave for hundreds of years. Time.

It was not until Chen Yuting brought Song Qingming here by chance that she finally killed him and let his soul escape into reincarnation.

But then again, this "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" had such powerful magical powers when he was alive. If he met him in his prime, Song Qingming would probably not get any advantage in a fight with him.

Fortunately, the opponent has become a "refined corpse" with incomplete intelligence, and even half of his magical powers can't be exerted. Otherwise, Song Qingming would not have been able to solve this "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" so easily just now.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming felt a little comforted. This was also a blessing in disguise for the three of them.

While looking through the Heavenly Corpse Art left by "Tianzhi Taoist", Song Qingming's eyes were suddenly attracted by the secret technique above. After carefully examining it, his face couldn't help but reveal a bit of joy.

"The Celestial Corpse Puppet Formation! No wonder those Refining Corpses in the Foundation Establishment Stage were able to form an formation to fight against the golden wind in a short time. It turned out to be because of the Celestial Corpse Puppet Formation."

According to what is said on the "Celestial Corpse Puppet Array", after practicing this secret method, the controlled refined corpses can be combined to fight against the enemy. As long as there are enough refined corpses in the foundation-building period, they can even leapfrog against ordinary golden elixir monks. The magic circle controlled by the high-level monks is poor.

Moreover, this "Celestial Corpse Puppet Formation" is not limited to controlling corpses, and similar things such as corpse puppets and puppets can be used to practice this formation.

Seeing the refining method of the "Celestial Corpse Puppet Array" in his hand, Song Qingming couldn't help but start to fantasize in his heart.

If the formation of "Taoist Heavenly Corpse" could be improved, and those corpses refining in the foundation-building stage could be replaced by corpse puppets or puppets in the golden elixir stage, the power it would display would probably make even Nascent Soul cultivators fearful.

Although Song Qingming currently only has a golden elixir corpse puppet named "Golden Wind" and cannot use this method to form a magic circle, as long as he has spirit stones in his hands, he will always have the opportunity to use this secret method in the future.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Song Qingming put away the "Heavenly Corpse Art" in his hand and several exercises on corpse refining techniques nearby, then turned to Chen Yuting and said:

"These sets of exercises are of some use to me. I'll put them away first. You can share more with other spiritual objects later."

Seeing Song Qingming put away the "Heavenly Corpse Art" in his hand, Chen Yuting thought that he wanted to take it away in advance because he was afraid that the two of them would try to practice in the future, so she immediately replied with a smile:

"These evil techniques are of no use to us. Seniors can just take them if they are useful. There is no need to be so polite. We should proceed as agreed before. All the spiritual seniors will take half first, and Luo Li and I will share the rest equally. "

The three people who came to explore the cave this time went through many dangers. Chen Yuting also knew very well at this moment that without Song Qingming, even if they could get in, they would not be able to take anything away, and they would most likely lose their lives in vain.

When it came time to divide the spiritual objects, Chen Yuting naturally did not dare to let Song Qingming, the biggest contributor to this trip, suffer, even if she was willing to get a smaller share.

However, except for the "Heavenly Corpse Puppet Formation" that he had put away, Song Qingming didn't pay much attention to the other spiritual objects in front of him. Hearing what Chen Yuting said, he immediately waved his hand and said:

"After all, you found this place. Such a division is a bit unfair to you. I think it's better to keep it this way. We'll each take 40% of all the spiritual objects, and the remaining 20% ​​will be given to Luo Li."

"Yes! Then just follow what the senior said." After hearing Song Qingming's initiative to share the spiritual objects, Chen Yuting didn't say much and immediately nodded in agreement.

Luo Li on the side was a little embarrassed when she heard this. Her main purpose this time was to gain experience. She didn't want to get any spiritual objects from the beginning, nor did she make any contribution in the action just now.

When she heard that Song Qingming and the others wanted to divide her into two spiritual beings, Luo Li immediately wanted to refuse, but because Song Qingming and Chen Yuting were both very insistent, she had no choice but to give up and nod in agreement with their distribution plan.
