Chapter 191: Laying the Foundation with Five Elements

hop, and I am deeply grateful. Those magic artifacts are all of excellent quality, and together they are worth almost as much as a Soul-Drawing Herb. I’m willing to sell them to Daoist Qin at this pri...Slavery has never been eternal. As long as intelligence is awakened and instinct remains, few are willing to accept slavery willingly.

It is said that high-level artifacts will be born with a spirit, but the relationship between the artifact spirit and its master is more like that of relatives or friends, fundamentally different from slavery.

The enslaved, once they have the ability to break free, will without hesitation retaliate against their master.

The same goes for zombies that have been crafted.

According to the secret method, the best way for a necromancer to refine a corpse is to use a cultivator of the same realm. Before the Foundation Establishment period, if a necromancer in the early stage of Foundation Establishment refines a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment into a living corpse, they must be careful when manipulating the corpse against an enemy.

The difference between one realm isn't that big, and if nothing unexpected happens, you might still be able to suppress it. But if it's a corpse refined by a cultivator in the later stage of the foundation building period, the person who refines the corpse better not think about controlling it, they will definitely be retaliated against, so just escape for their life first.

With the Jade Buddha's help, Qin Sang should be able to break through this limit.

However, refining zombies is the most difficult. Not only do you have to defeat your opponent first, but also capture and imprison their soul essence.

Even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't defeat him, and he had no guidance from his master. How could he possibly turn a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator into a living corpse

Thinking about this, Qin Sang shook his head, throwing those useless thoughts out of his mind. He fixed his gaze on "Baiyunshanren" and recalled the secret method.

After being transformed into a zombie, there are two more steps. First, five elements of yin energy are used to build the foundation, and then the evil qi from the earth is introduced into the body, ultimately transforming the "White Cloud Mountain Man" into a complete corpse of evil spirits.

Ordinary necromantic practices do not require the foundation-building step of the Five Elements. Before a cultivator dies, as long as their dantian remains undamaged, they can absorb Yin Sha Qi into their body, forming a sea of Yin Qi in the dantian and transforming it into a corpse puppet.

If a body with a destroyed dantian is placed in a place of extreme yin energy and left to be nurtured for a long time, it can also transform into a corpse demon. However, refining the corpse will definitely be impossible.

Because the qi of earthly disasters is more violent than yin qi, it needs the help of five elements yin objects to stabilize the dantian and prevent the corpse from being destroyed.

Moreover, the five elements' yin substances are also key to condensing the evil qi of Sha. The yin substances of the five elements serve as a conduit, allowing the secret techniques and prohibitions and the 'White Cloud Mountain Hermit' to merge into one, thus subduing the evil qi of Sha.

Baiyunshan's life before was focused on the Wood Movement Technique. Qin Sang's eyes flicked, settling on the moongrass wood core in front of him, drawing it into his palm.

The heartwood is pure white, radiating a peaceful aura. It is the most essence of this six-hundred-year-old moon acacia tree.

With spiritual energy, Qin Sang carefully carved out a piece from the heartwood of a moongold tree. Then, he levitated it in front of him and cast several secret runes onto the wood.

In a short while, the wooden core began to melt like an ice cube, and finally the moxa wood core was tempered until it was incredibly pure, leaving only a small lump of something like liquid.

"Go!"

Qin Sang aimed at "Baiyunshanren"'s dantian, and with a flick of his finger, the huai wood core "shooed" into "Baiyunshanren's" dantian. "Baiyunshanren"'s breath fluctuated for a moment.

Under Qin Sang's control, the power of the Yuehuai wood core immediately spread throughout the dantian of the 'White Cloud Mountain Person', nourishing the parched dantian. The exhausted qi sea seemed to begin to revive.

Next, Qin Sang's movements were non-stop. According to the order of the five elements generating each other, he summoned a ghost hawk feather. Spiritual energy enveloped the ghost hawk feather, carefully extracting the團 of yin fire from its center.

As the yin fire was forcibly extracted, the ghost carving's wings split into fragments, and this excellent spiritual material was destroyed just like that. However, Qin Sang didn't even glance at it, his eyes intently fixed on the mass of yin fire, continuing to use secret techniques to refine it.

Then came the Nine Apertures Stone, Blue Profound Gold, and lastly, Yin Spirit Water.

Thus, one after another, the five elements of yin matter were infused into the body of 'Baiyunshanren'. The essence of the five elements of yin matter fused within him, making his dantian incredibly stable and filled with restrictions.

Now for the main event!

Qin Sang let out a long sigh, adjusting his state, then picked up a Shaoyin magnetic bottle.

As soon as the lid was opened, a chilling aura immediately spread out. Qin Sang carefully extracted a wisp of Yin Sha Qi, ignoring the bone-chilling cold, and exerted all his strength to suppress it. After it became docile, he slowly introduced it into 'Baiyunshanren's' dantian.

'

“Boom!”

'

As the *di sha* Qi entered his body, "Baiyunshanren's" dantian churned like a boiling cauldron, suddenly erupting with waves of energy!

'The man from Baiyun Mountain' was pulled by the Qi, his body suddenly trembling violently. Qin Sang distracted himself to stabilize 'the man from Baiyun Mountain''s fleshly body, not daring to hesitate, he hurriedly used all his strength to activate the restriction remaining in his dantian, refining this strand of Earth Fiend Qi.

'Pfft!'

A dark qi emerged from the 'Baiyunshanren's' dantian, accompanied by a violent fluctuation, as if about to explode.

Qin Sang's face darkened slightly, and he waved a streak of spiritual energy, silently extinguishing the black qi.

The first attempt had indeed failed, but that was to be expected. Qin Sang wasn't discouraged; after a short rest, he once again grasped a wisp of the earth-killing qi.

Such repeated failures continued until half of the bottle of Yin Sha Qi was consumed. Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, a hint of joy appearing on his face. His divine sense could clearly perceive that a black qi flowed like fish in the 'Baiyunshanren's' dantian, finally subduing the first wisp of Earthly Fiend Qi!

Everything starts difficult, but after that things become easier, the probability of success increases more and more. When refining the Corpse, there is still a bottle of Earthly Slaughter Qi left unused.

Qin Sang let out a long breath and waved his hand, taking all the spirit creatures back into his pouch. He looked at 'Bai Yunshan Ren' with surprise.

Compared to the time when he was a zombie, 'Baiyunshanren's' changes were not significant. The only difference was that there was a faint layer of black qi swirling around his body surface.

He isn't a true Earthshaker yet, he still needs time. Let the earth-shaping energy seep into his entire body and under the restriction's help, refine his flesh and enhance his physical strength.

Once 'Baiyunshanren' and the earth-shattering energy become one, inseparable, with black qi permeating their whole body, transforming into a terrifying corpse demon, their power will reach its peak!

Qin Sang doesn't need to worry about this process. He just puts it into the Corpse Puppet Bag and lets it transform slowly on its own. It won't take too long.

'Bang!'

The Corpse King vanished from where it stood, then reappeared before Qin Sang, landing a heavy punch. Qin Sang effortlessly parried the blow, feeling the force of the Corpse King's attack.

After all, it's just been newly refined. Its speed and strength are slightly weaker than that of a cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period. After metamorphosis, it will definitely be able to win.

Then, Qin Sang conducted some more experiments.

A corpse puppet can move at will and can multitask. If it's controlled well, it can be very useful.

But the flaw was also very obvious. Qin Sang walked out of the cave and tried it. He found that if the Corpse Puppet left him too far, the soul mark's connection would weaken greatly. Not only could he not control the Corpse Puppet, but even sensing it became difficult. He could only let it move on its own.

This way, the idea of using a corpse to scout dangerous areas would be ruined.have been following Qin Sang, picking up whatever they find.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Their eyes had been spoiled, they looked down on ordinary spiritual materi...
