12: Medium corpse puppet, ghost and god sacrifice!

Inside the Corpse Refining Cave, within a stone room.

Shi Chuan sat cross-legged on a straw bed, a few steps in front of him was the half-meter tall Corpse Crow, and to its side were two ordinary First-Grade Corpse Servants.

These were all Crimson God Puppets that Shi Chuan had refined just now in the underground dark river channel!

Beneath the feet of the Corpse Servants and the Corpse Crow Demon Puppet was a set of Evil Qi Transferring Talisman Formations!

“Transfer!”

Shi Chuan formed hand seals.

The pure Evil Qi on the two Crimson God Puppets was, without exception, mobilized and poured into the Corpse Crow’s body.

With a continuous influx of Evil Qi, the Corpse Crow, which was originally on the verge of a breakthrough, saw its aura suddenly surge after a few breaths.

A faint sense of oppression emanated from the Corpse Crow.

Crack, crack, crack!

The original half-meter tall Corpse Crow, upon advancing to a First-Grade Middle Stage Corpse Puppet, seemed to have a large amount of Qi injected into its entire puppet body in an instant, rapidly expanding.

Its bones grew larger, and in less than fifteen minutes, it reached a height of 1.2 to 1.3 meters, with a wingspan close to three meters.

In its green eyes, a faint fiery glow flickered.

After the Evil Qi Transferring was completed, the Crimson God Magic Power on the Talisman Formation was depleted, and it automatically disappeared. The two lower-grade Corpse Servants, whose Evil Qi had been transferred, shrank significantly, turning into two piles of black, foul-smelling flesh.

Shi Chuan casually conjured two Crimson God Fire sprouts, incinerating the two Corpse Servants clean!

Immediately, Shi Chuan placed the First-Grade Middle Stage Corpse Crow into his corpse raising bag.

The corpse raising bag’s space wasn’t large, at most it could only hold two ordinary Corpse Servants, but it was more than enough for one Corpse Crow.

With this First-Grade Middle Stage Corpse Crow, those Outer Sect Disciples at the Mid-Stage Qi Refining could completely gain the upper hand in combat!

“Cultivate!”

“Advance to Qi Refining Fourth Layer as soon as possible!”

Shi Chuan took out a piece of flesh from the Corpse Spirit Mushroom, used a detoxification spell to eliminate most of its toxicity, and then swallowed it.

Sensing the pure Spiritual Qi in his abdomen, he executed a rotation of the Crimson God Art, and the Spiritual Power in his body also began to slowly grow.

…

【zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) has arrived】

【Received a white intelligence report】

【White Intelligence Report: Fairy Yu Jiao of Corpse Refining Peak secretly infiltrated the Corpse Refining Cave and buried an unknown Magical Artifact at the source of the Twin Serpent Bay waterpulse in the underground dark river.】

…

“Fairy Yu Jiao.”

“That guy who was suspected of being an enemy Sect’s spy and was lucky enough to pick up a corpse mound token.”

“What is this guy doing to the Corpse Refining Cave?”

“It’s definitely nothing good.”

Shi Chuan felt a little uneasy. If Fairy Yu Jiao really was an enemy Sect’s spy, such a person secretly infiltrating would definitely not bode well.

Inside this Corpse Refining Cave, he hadn’t finished eating his Corpse Spirit Mushroom, and there were so many Corpse Servants he could slowly refine. After performing the Evil Qi Transferring technique a few more times, he could Cultivate several First-Grade Middle Stage Corpse Servants.

At that time, even Cultivators above Qi Refining Seventh Layer, facing the siege of more than ten First-Grade Middle Stage Corpse Servants and the secret techniques of the Red God Sect, would still have a chance to kill them!

The Corpse Refining Cave was now his cultivation ground, and Shi Chuan naturally didn't want any trouble to arise.

“Since she secretly delivered a Magical Artifact, there’s no reason not to accept it.”

Shi Chuan opened his eyes and left the stone room with his corpse raising bag.

Soon.

Shi Chuan sat cross-legged in a hidden passage in the underground dark river, converging his aura, and summoned a patch of Evil Qi to conceal his figure.

Immediately, he released the Corpse Crow from his corpse raising bag.

“Shared Vision!”

Shi Chuan raised his hand and conjured several runes, integrating them into the Corpse Crow’s eyes, imbuing the Corpse Crow with the Purple Fiend Eyes’ Magic Power and a rune for shared vision.

Then, an additional perspective, that of the Corpse Crow, appeared in Shi Chuan’s field of vision.

This place was already close to the source of Twin Serpent Bay. Fairy Yu Jiao had managed to clear her name from the suspicion of being an Inner Sect Disciple hired by Ge Chaoqun.

This proved her caution. There might be other arrangements around the Magical Artifact she placed.

It was better to be careful. Letting the Corpse Crow search for the buried Magical Artifact would ensure his own whereabouts remained unexposed.

Whoosh!

Under Shi Chuan’s command, the Corpse Crow flew out of the passage, flapping its wings like a black phantom, and plunged into the vast black mist of Evil Qi.

The Corpse Crow itself was a Demon Puppet, and its inherent demonic eyes could easily see everything hundreds of steps away. Coupled with the Magic Power of the Purple Fiend Eyes, it could also discern the Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi fluctuations in various places.

It was precisely with the enhancement of the Purple Fiend Eyes that it could locate the Magical Artifact buried by Fairy Yu Jiao!

The source of Twin Serpent Bay was the black, frigid water of Evil Qi gushing up from the extremely deep underground. The water was icy and bone-chilling; even a touch could be fatal to an ordinary Corpse Servants.

Only Utility Disciples who had entered Qi Refining could resist it somewhat with the Magic Power they had cultivated within their bodies.

“The Evil Qi here is extremely dense; this must be where Fairy Yu Jiao buried the Magical Artifact!”

“Oh?”

“Three lower-grade Corpse Servants are hidden, guarding it.”

“Is that all?”

The Corpse Crow Demon Puppet’s sharp claws easily pierced the hard rock wall, and it hung upside down above the river channel like a giant bat. Its jade-like eyes flickered with a purple glow, staring intently at an empty space below.

Shi Chuan, seeing this scene through the shared vision, pondered for a moment, then ordered the Corpse Crow Demon Puppet to kill the Corpse Servants and start digging for the treasure.

The two lower-grade Corpse Servants hidden beneath a patch of sand were easily crushed in the head by the descending Corpse Crow. They were killed before they could even emerge from the sand.

Immediately, the Corpse Crow began to swing its sharp claws, digging a pit.

Sand splattered. In just over ten breaths, a giant pit several meters deep was dug, and at the bottom of the pit was a broken stone sculpture.

The stone sculpture was a ghost god with two ram heads and a human body, covered in a thick layer of wool. Its arms were entwined with giant python-like Soul-Binding Chains, and its right hand held a long-handled Soul Banner.

“Ghost God Statue, Ghost Gate Ram!”

Shi Chuan was quite surprised when he saw this ram-headed, human-bodied stone sculpture through the Corpse Crow’s perspective.

Old Demon Wangu Teng’s memories contained this Ghost God Statue.

Ghost God Sacrifice!

That was the name of this Magical Artifact.

Placing the Ghost God Statue in a place of Evil Qi could naturally gather Yin energy. Once the Evil Qi was full, by sacrificing at least ten residual souls of Qi Refining Cultivators or more, a Ghost God could descend from the heavens, summoning a projection of a Ghost General who guards the Underworld!

This Ghost Gate Ram was one of the guardians of the Ghost Gate Pass. Although this Ghost God Sacrifice stone statue was somewhat damaged, with the nourishment of this place of Evil Qi, it could slowly repair itself.

Moreover, this Ghost God Sacrifice grew extremely fast.

In as little as half a year, or as long as a year, once the sacrifice was successfully made, the projection of the Ghost Gate Ram could descend!

The projection’s descent would be at least at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.

If a Foundation Establishment Stage Ghost General projection descended into this Corpse Refining Cave, the Corpse Servants and Utility Disciples here would have no chance of survival.

And the Corpse Refining Peak would surely fall into great chaos.

Fairy Yu Jiao’s methods are quite ruthless!

An Outer Sect Disciple couldn’t obtain such a Ghost God Sacrifice Magical Artifact. The origin of this Magical Artifact was a Demonic Path Sect called the Tong Shen Sect.

During the ancient Qi Country, because their method of sacrificing Cultivators was too brutal!

Their Sect Master wanted to sacrifice twenty Core Formation Stage Cultivators to summon a Nascent Soul Stage Ghost God projection, but as a result, several Nascent Soul Stage powers nearby united and crushed their Sect.
