With the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', which uses the third-grade spiritual object 'Netherworld Crystal' as its main material, Li Shiming does not need to look for a suitable place to refine corpses.
When refining corpses in the ghost realm, the demand for materials can be reduced.
But even so, he still bought the second-grade main material for corpse refining. The corpse refining material he prepared for Li Yuanba was Yun Xingyi's corpse.
Moreover, he also asked Li Yuanba to refine the corpse of Jindan sword cultivator Yun Xingyi into his own life-refined corpse. This idea had been in his mind for a long time.
If Li Shiming himself had not given the only spot for refining his own natal corpse to Li Yuanba, he would have wanted to refine the corpse of Jindan sword cultivator Yun Xingyi into his own natal corpse.
Even though Yun Xingyi's body was dead, its defense was amazing. A third-grade swordsman with the strength of a foundation-building cultivator could barely cut through his skin, but the cutting speed was extremely slow.
This was done after Yun Xingyi died and there was no spiritual power left in his body.
Once its corpse is refined into a refined corpse, its defense will definitely be top-notch among iron corpses.
This is just the skin. Yun Xingyi's muscles have stronger defensive power, not to mention his bones. The bones of a Jindan sword cultivator are almost as hard as those of a Jindan cultivator who focuses on body refining. This is due to the influence of long-term sword intent.
Although Yun Xingyi only cultivated the sword bone of his right thumb, all the bones in his body were imbued with sword intent, which made his bone strength continue to increase during the practice.
Even after death, the sword intent in his bones cannot be completely dissipated.
This time, Li Shiming dug a cave for himself, and outside, Li Yuanba set up a formation with flags.
He began to arrange the preparations for corpse refining in the cave. His "Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter" only went as far as upgrading corpse refining to foundation building, and the subsequent techniques were missing, but this was enough.
The improvement of corpse refining nowadays still mainly relies on the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array'. The speed of improving corpse refining by the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' is very fast at least before the Golden Core Stage, and it is faster than the method of the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter'.
Once Li Yuanba really joins the Senluo Sect, it should not be difficult to obtain a corpse refining technique that can reach the Golden Core Stage.
The inheritance of corpse refining still depends on the Demon Sect. The inheritances of other sects mostly remove the particularly evil parts.
He didn't expect that he could buy the Nascent Soul Corpse Refining Liquid in the store. Originally, he still had some Nascent Soul Corpse Refining Liquid left, but the level of that Nascent Soul Corpse Refining Liquid was only at the Qi Refining Stage, and it might not be enough to transform the corpse of the Golden Core Sword Cultivator Yun Xingyi.
The corpse fluid he bought this time was from an iron corpse, and it was of excellent quality, a true second-grade main material.
He took some blood from Li Yuanba, mixed it into the corpse refining fluid of his own life, and then mixed it with a variety of materials.
Yun Xingyi's body was preserved very well, and the isolated environment made the body almost the same as when it was first placed.
He carefully smeared the corpse's surface with the mixture of his own corpse refining fluid, and drew complex patterns on important parts of the corpse. This was a method he summed up by combining the secret method of corpse refining he obtained with the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' to enhance the effect of corpse refining.
He has to thank Ren Feier for allowing him to get access to some knowledge about corpse refining in the Jindan stage. Although it is just a little knowledge, its role is not small.
Yun Xingyi's body was placed in the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation'. Surrounded by the cold and gloomy power of the ghost realm, the body quickly changed.
The skin on the surface of the corpse turned into bronze color. This was a superficial change. Inside, in the originally empty shell, the spirit of the corpse was being born.
When the corpse-refining spirit was born, due to the influence of the corpse-refining fluid mixed with Li Yuanba's blood outside the body, the corpse-refining spirit carried the breath of Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba sensed the birth process of his natal corpse. The corpse spirit connected to his soul grew from nothing to something, from small to large.
The 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation' shortened the transformation process, which originally took a long time, to within a few hours.
The spirit of the corpse was complete after four hours, but the changes of the corpse were not over.
The bronze color of the skin on the surface of the corpse became darker and darker, slowly turning into black iron.
This is due to the second-grade innate corpse refining fluid and the quality of the corpse itself. In the "Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation", it skipped the bronze corpse stage and directly entered the iron corpse state.
It seems that the method of corpse refining is extremely simple. In a short period of time, a cultivator can possess an iron corpse with the combat power of the foundation building stage.
But we have to consider the source of the corpses for corpse refining. Not to mention corpses in the Jindan stage, even corpses in the foundation-building stage are difficult to obtain.
Besides, the corpse also has to take into account its previous spiritual roots, otherwise the corpse will not have much potential. It is estimated that by the time the cultivator himself has been promoted to the foundation-building stage, the corpse refining will still be lingering at the bronze corpse stage.
There is a success rate in corpse refining, and no matter how much preparation you make, there is always a risk of failure.
The reason why Li Shiming was successful this time was that he bought the second-grade main materials for corpse refining. In addition, the ghost domain environment created by the "Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation" also added a lot to the corpse refining.
It stayed here for three days, until the body of the corpse reached a limit and a faint white light flowed on its skin, which marked the complete end of the corpse refining process.
Li Shiming was even wondering if he could directly refine Yun Xingyi's corpse into a silver corpse if he had the complete corpse refining technique of the Jindan period.
Of course, this possibility is extremely low. At present, the potential of Yun Xingyi's corpse has been almost exhausted. Every subsequent improvement will require a large amount of corpse refining materials to be stacked.
Moreover, considering the state of this corpse, the required corpse refining materials must be at least of the second grade, and even the second grade corpse refining materials may not be enough.
There is a faint white light on the body of the natal corpse, which is a layer of silver light. This is a phenomenon that only occurs when the iron corpse reaches the extreme stage.
To move up from Iron Corpse, one needs to be promoted to Silver Corpse. It is not so easy to promote Silver Corpse. Even the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' is of much less help.
The golden elixir sword cultivator Yun Xingyi is the most powerful golden elixir of the Mingxin Sect. Using his body to make a refined corpse means that the Mingxin Sect has already moved away from Beishu, otherwise Li Yuanba would instantly become the person that the Mingxin Sect must kill.
In order to prevent Li Yuanba from getting into big trouble, Li Shiming put his own corpse into the computer room and used plastic surgery to modify its face.
However, this time he couldn't cut the bones of his own corpse, not even with a third-grade sword.
The process of corpse refining is to transform the corpse into a zombie. The corpse will be strengthened during this process, and when the corpse is successfully refined, cold spiritual power will naturally be born in the body.
These cold spiritual powers will continuously strengthen the whole body of the corpse refiner. During the transformation process, Yun Xingyi's corpse absorbed the cold power of the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation' for three days, and was constantly transforming and strengthening itself.
The third-grade sword foundation uses third-grade materials, but in fact he has only recently started practicing the foundation-building chapter of the "Sword Demon Secret Book", and it is essentially a spiritual weapon made of third-grade materials.
Unless he is promoted to the Golden Core stage and practices the Golden Core chapter of the Sword Demon Secret Book, he will not be able to make the third-grade sword base become a magic weapon.
There was no other way, so Li Shiming chose to fill it. Fortunately, the iron corpse's teeth underwent a mutation during the transformation process, and it grew a pair of fangs, and its eyes turned red.
In order to prevent Yun Xingyi's acquaintances from recognizing him, Li Shiming added some bones to his facial bones, changing Yun Xingyi's original appearance.
These bones were found from other corpses. Although the quality was a little worse, if they only changed the appearance, the impact on the original corpse would be equivalent to nothing.
After everything was done, Li Shiming looked at the corpse of his own life in front of him, and a sense of oppression rose in his heart.
Its terrifying appearance and the aura of a peak iron corpse reveal that it is a ferocious beast.
What's even more terrifying is that when Li Shiming took out a spiritual shield and tried to let his natal corpse attack, he was shocked to find that one of his natal corpse's claws was lingering with sword intent.
This blow caused the spiritual imprint in the spiritual weapon shield to shatter instantly. He couldn't help but spit out blood and had a splitting headache.
Fortunately, the corpse of my natal spirit is under control and will not attack continuously.
Li Shiming thought of his own Nezha, and then looked at Li Yuanba's original corpse in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh at the gap between them.
Of course, Nezha also has great potential. After all, he is a corpse with natural spiritual roots. Although he is still in the early stage of iron corpse, with his three-six heads and arms, coupled with his growth rate, I believe that his future strength will not be weaker than Li Yuanba's original corpse.
Li Yuanba's original corpse refining skill had a high starting point, and the corpses of Jindan sword cultivators were rare materials for corpse refining.
"Let's call it 'Jiang Chen'. It's the king among the iron corpses!" Li Shiming thought about it and gave this corpse a name. He searched the machine room for a while before finding a body bag and handed it over.
Li Shiming has his own computer room space, so this body bag is a trophy from long ago.
It's just a pity that a general at the peak of the Iron Corpse level has to be confined to this low-quality corpse bag.
When there is a chance in the future, I will buy Jiang Chen a body bag of spiritual weapon level.
Li Yuanba hung the body bag around his waist and put the general into the body bag.
With Jiang Chen, a new and powerful fighting force, Li Shiming felt safer.
"Let's go explore the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's abandoned residence together!" He stood up and said with a smile.
"Let's go together, fellow Taoist!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile.
After putting away the formation flags and cleaning up the traces left behind, the two of them rode on their swords and the two swords flew away into the distance.
The sword escape method that Li Shiming is using now is the sword escape method in the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Art'. With his sword intent, the effect he uses is only slightly weaker than that of Li Yuanba.
He can disguise himself as a sword cultivator, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to tell whether he is a real sword cultivator or not.
However, his fastest escape technique was not the sword escape, but the thunder escape technique from the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' that he practiced.
The only problem with practicing magic is that it consumes too much energy. His spiritual power is simply not enough to use the thunder escape method to travel for a long time, and it is not as convenient as the sword escape method.
After several days of traveling, he and Li Yuanba no longer flew at high speed. This place was not far from the dangerous place marked on the map, so they needed a little spiritual beast.
The terrain became more and more familiar, and he had already seen the terrain that appeared on the 'Earth Sound and Destroying Dao Qin' and matched the map.
This place is not far from the ruins of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon. Fortunately, the Six-Fingered Sound Demon did not place the ruins in a dangerous area, otherwise the danger of exploration would increase a lot.
Li Shiming and Li Yuanba walked quickly in the mountains, and they stopped in front of a dense grove of short trees.
"There are extremely weak formation fluctuations, very strange formation fluctuations!" Li Shiming said softly.
His spiritual thoughts extended outward all the time, and he sensed that the fluctuations of the formation distorted the space. This was a formation he had never encountered before.
The dwarf tree in front of me is real when I touch it with my hands, and I can even break off its branches. Everything is real.
But there is another space here. The strange formation did not affect the real dwarf trees, but they coexisted in the same place.
Only then did Li Shiming realize his own ignorance. There was too much knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation that he did not know. Only by constantly improving his strength could he have the opportunity to access this high-end knowledge.
He thought about it and took out a drone. This drone was special in that there was an extra package underneath it.
He used the method of entering the formation towards the dwarf tree, and the dwarf tree in front of him became illusory, revealing a stone hole facing inward.
The drone flew towards the cave entrance, and Li Shiming also put on a blindfold and synchronized the drone's vision.
The cave is very ancient, and the stone surface shows traces of time.
About ten meters into the cave, you will reach the cave hall.
There was a set of tables and chairs in the hall, with spiritual light flashing on them. Although they had gone through many years, it could still be seen that they were made of spiritual materials, and the quality was judged to be second grade.
In other words, the spiritual materials used for the tables and chairs in the hall alone can be used to make many spiritual weapons.
One can imagine the level of luxury of the owner of this cave. The tables and chairs are made of second-grade spiritual materials. Li Shiming couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.
There is a chessboard on the table, with two boxes of black and white pieces. The aura is restrained, and they are actually spiritual objects of higher quality.
"Could it be a magic weapon?" Li Shiming's trembling heart turned into jumping. He almost wanted to rush into the abandoned mansion to see the chessboard and the black and white pieces with his own eyes to confirm their quality.
But he suppressed his impulse well. If there was such a treasure in the hall of this abandoned mansion, then what else was inside?
These days, he also found some information about the Six-Fingered Sound Demon. The Six-Fingered Sound Demon had disappeared more than four hundred years ago. His strength is in the late Golden Core stage, and his influence in the Ten Thousand Mountains is not small.
The Six-Fingered Sound Demon is bloodthirsty and cruel. He likes to use the sound of his piano to wipe out large numbers of lives. He is a true demon cultivator.
Because the Six-Fingered Sound Demon killed a true disciple of the Senluo Sect, the Senluo Sect sent monks to hunt him down. After severely injuring him once, there was no news of him since then.
Rumor has it that the Six-Fingered Sound Demon anticipated his own fate and left behind many clues during his exile, hoping that someone with a destiny could inherit his legacy.
There are too many similar rumors in the world of immortal cultivation. Almost every missing cultivator has related rumors, so there are very few cultivators who truly believe in the legends.
It is estimated that only the cultivators who have seen the clues left by the Six-Fingered Sound Demon with their own eyes would believe in the existence of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's residence.
