Chapter 40 Qi Refining Level 5 (Please read on, please vote!)
Because the cultivation speed of the Corpse Demon Secret Technique is so astonishing, requiring 1,440 repetitions a day, what does that mean?
One minute of practice!
Therefore, Wang Yu immediately felt a clear difference once he put it on.
Every minute, a surge of yin energy and corpse energy suddenly appeared in his body. The yin energy merged into his blood, causing his body temperature to drop rapidly, and a faint chill permeated his entire body.
The corpse energy seeped into his bones, making his skin even paler and causing him to become somewhat emaciated. His nails turned black and hardened, and his entire demeanor transformed into that of a traditional demonic cultivator, making him look nothing like a good person.
The black hair that had sprouted from the roots turned completely white again. This time, it was not due to the passing of lifespan, but rather a kind of transformation by the Yin and Corpse Qi.
A wealth of insights and experiences regarding the Corpse Demon's secret techniques flooded into his mind.
The ultimate goal of this secret method is to cultivate "Heavenly Yin Blood" and "Corpse Demon Bone," which cannot be achieved with only the incomplete method. Therefore, this is only the first round of preliminary modification.
This gives Wang Yu the characteristics of a zombie, such as a tough skin and immense strength.
Having the innate coldness of a Yin Ghost, the speed at which one cultivates cold-attribute techniques will accelerate, the power of cold-attribute spells will surge, and even slightly enhance one's spiritual sense.
This kind of body modification technique is quite rare.
If it were a complete secret technique, its value would be immeasurable! But since it is only an incomplete technique, the numerous side effects it comes with mean that very few cultivators would choose to practice it.
Wang Yu was drawn to its unique ability to reattach severed arms.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Yin Blood has a kind of simulation of spiritual root aptitude, and to some extent it is also a method to improve his aptitude. When it works together with the Cold Blood Technique, there is a high possibility that a special connection will occur.
After all, they all target the cold and damp changes that occur in the blood.
Results will be visible in three months!
Wang Yu quickly returned to his residence, sealed it off, and began a long period of seclusion.
…………
…………
in this way.
April of the second year of his career as an outer gatekeeper.
Ninety days passed in the blink of an eye. At the residence of the Evil God's Workshop, in front of an ice mirror as tall as a person, Wang Yu, whose appearance had changed drastically, was examining his new look.
Its eyes were a ghostly green, with the whites turned pure black, giving it a somewhat eerie appearance. Two sharp fangs grew from its upper jaw, exactly like those of a zombie.
His skin was whiter than a dead man's, and his silver hair was tied up in a high crown, making him look capable and neat. His originally delicate features were paired with eerie eyes, giving him a sinister air.
This is a change in facial features; the fingernails and toenails become black and sharp, with the most obvious abnormality.
His limbs and bones swelled with immense strength, making him incredibly powerful. He could crush a rock as tall as a person into pieces. He had skin of copper and bones of iron, and was impervious to swords, spears, water, and fire.
At the same time, Wang Yu noticed that he had become somewhat afraid of light, preferred dark environments, developed a bloodthirsty nature, and had a desire to devour those lonely ghosts and spirits.
These are all side effects of the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique]. To some extent, it transforms one's physique into something similar to a zombie or a ghost, possessing the strengths of both while suffering from their drawbacks.
Wang Yu's body temperature dropped to around 18 or 19 degrees Celsius, and his heart was beating extremely slowly.
The blood transforms into Yin, within which black talisman particles move.
The skeleton has become demonic, with corpse energy penetrating deep into his bone marrow, forming a set of incomplete runes on his bones.
[Placement slot 3: Corpse Demon Arcane Arts (Incomplete/Under completion...)]
"Corpse Demon Secret Technique (100/100): Practice 1,440 times a day, and it will take 20 years to master."
Wang Yu was surprised, then suddenly realized.
The twenty years mentioned here should refer to the time required to complete the second stage. There will likely be a third and fourth stage later, corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage.
With the body modification complete, according to the description of the Corpse Demon's secret technique, the next step is to use the Yin and Corpse energies to condense a "Yin Blood Pill" within the body. This item is the key to reattaching severed limbs.
Not only can it eliminate the rejection reaction of foreign bodies, but if one can cultivate three "Yin Blood Pills", it can even regenerate severed arms. This can only be achieved by completing at least the third level.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
During his medical check-up, Wang Yu made another discovery—his aptitude had changed!
The incomplete Heavenly Yin Blood and Corpse Demon Bone seemed to have endowed him with another kind of evil aptitude, as if it were a kind of acquired Yin Spiritual Root, complementing the "Ice Spiritual Root" that had begun to mutate.
The mutation of the Yin Ice attribute was applied to his Water Spirit Root, which suddenly grew from a length of about an inch to nearly four inches.
His aptitude was now almost indistinguishable from that of a mixed spiritual root. This change overjoyed Wang Yu. He had sacrificed his second brother's happiness and endured so many side effects all for this change.
After a day of meditation.
Four strands of refined, icy spiritual energy appeared within his body, a change that meant his cultivation speed had doubled once again.
Taking into account the effects of the top-grade Cold Blood Pill, he should be able to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in a maximum of 160 days, or about five and a half months.
This was a milestone in his entire cultivation career, and its significance was extraordinary.
Starting today, time seems to have been put on the fast track.
Wang Yu's change in appearance did not attract much attention. After all, this was the demonic path, where there were many strange and monstrous cultivators who were neither human nor ghost. His appearance was considered normal, almost like a zombie.
Only the alchemist society and Zhao Shang realized the extraordinary nature of his secret method, but they did not ask any further questions.
He continued to earn spirit stones as usual, and Wang Yu was also contacting inner disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Peak to seek a corpse to refine in order to repair the missing arm.
Although Su Zhenchuan promised the arm of the second-tier Frost Corpse, he couldn't possibly ask Duan Ping about it. The fact that he hadn't contacted him for so long already said something.
If this continues for a few more years, there's no doubt that even more changes might occur.
Therefore, Wang Yu first searched for it himself, aiming for at least a peak first-tier corpse, and ideally, a remnant arm of a second-tier corpse refiner.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators of Heavenly Corpse Peak, there should be many second-tier corpses that cannot be repaired. Buying just an arm would offer them a good chance.
On the other hand, Wang Yu was also looking for a suitable high-grade magic weapon to prepare for leaving the sect later.
Thus, five and a half months passed in the blink of an eye.
In September of his second year as an outer disciple, Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt his aura swell, and his spiritual power cultivation reached its current peak.
Three hundred streams of icy spiritual energy swirled around him, freezing the ground into a layer of frost.
Qi Refining Level 5, achieved!
The original plan of three and a half years was achieved in just over a year, which is quite fast.
Breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining is a long process, requiring the condensation of a full thousand strands of spiritual power. At that time, one will encounter the bottleneck between the mid and late stages of Qi Refining.
One thousand strands of spiritual power need to be refined a second time, from one thousand to one hundred, in units of "strands". One hundred strands of spiritual power is equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Then comes the final accumulation, until reaching the threshold of the third refinement of spirit, where spiritual energy is transformed into liquid and advanced to true essence, which is one of the three stages of foundation building.
He currently needs to accumulate 700 strands of spiritual power to reach perfection.
Based on the current efficiency of the two placement slots, it would take 1750 days, nearly five years, which is not slow. If we include the top-grade Cold Blood Pill, it would take about three years to break through.
