25: Qin Zhizhi's feeling, locked onto the target!

Corpse Refining Cave, White Bone Plaza.

Gloomy and dark, gusts of wind rose.

Shi Chuan's voice was like a great bell, his gaunt body slightly hunched, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes behind his mask surveyed the new Corpse Servants emerging from the various stone chambers and caves of the Corpse Refining Cave.

Although some of these Corpse Servants showed traces of having once lived in luxury, most were in a sorry state.

Some who came out of the same stone cave gathered together.

These Corpse Servants dared not look Shi Chuan in the eye on White Bone Plaza, each bowing their heads, like timid little quails, listlessly walking onto the plaza.

"Purple Fiend Eyes!"

A purple glow flashed in Shi Chuan's eyes as he swept over the more than one hundred new recruits, but he didn't detect any flaws.

That's right, if it were that simple to find flaws, then those three Inner Sect Disciple of Corpse Refining Peak would have noticed something was amiss.

The Corpse Servants who emerged from the stone caves must all be speculating about Shi Chuan's origin and purpose.

"Starting with you, come forward one by one."

Shi Chuan pointed casually, singling out a tense littleFat Man.

"Ah!"

The littleFat Man was startled, his body trembled, but he could only steel himself and step forward.

A Spirit Testing Talisman appeared in Shi Chuan's right hand, and with a touch of magical power, his right hand landed on the littleFat Man's shoulder.

Under the guidance of the Spirit Testing Talisman, no abnormality was found in the littleFat Man.

Four Spiritual Root Aptitude.

Just like him before.

Moreover, the Demonic Fiend Vine within his Dantian seemed to have a miraculous effect on sensing Spiritual Qi.

"Go, next."

Shi Chuan's tone was calm.

The littleFat Man, with a tense face, heard what Shi Chuan said, his brows relaxed, and after hastily bowing respectfully, he walked somewhat unsteadily towards the outside of the plaza.

Within the crowd.

Several hidden Sect agents from Jiao Demon Sect and Purple Cloud Sect felt a surge of tension in their hearts upon seeing this scene.

This veteran Disciple of the Sect, who appeared out of nowhere, testing the newly arrived Corpse Servants in this manner, made them feel that it wouldn't be as simple as just finding a farming slave.

If he had other motives, then it might be directed at them.

"Next."

...

When it was the twenty-first person's turn.

The Spirit Testing Talisman and the Evil Qi injected into the other party's body did sense a hidden Spiritual Qi within his blood and Qi.

Qi Refining Second Layer, not the magical power cultivated through Corpse Raising Art and Corpse Yin Skill.

This hidden Spiritual Qi was extremely concealed.

It seemed to be masked by a Cultivator of a special type of Spiritual Qi; if not for the stimulating perception of the Demonic Fiend Vine's Evil Qi, it would not have been detected.

First, leave an Evil Qi mark.

"Next."

Shi Chuan remained calm, his tone as usual.

He wouldn't alert the enemy; this time was just to get a feel for the situation.

Moreover, there was no trace of any Magical Artifact's aura within this person's body, or it was hidden too deeply.

No fear, he had patience; in a few days at most, he could test them out one by one.

If these various hidden Disciples were only at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, there was no need to worry much; to him, they posed no threat.

Only Qin Zhizhi, who possessed a second-tier Magical Artifact, had an unknown effect from her special spirit body.

This was the only thing Shi Chuan was wary of.

Some new recruits who recognized this person as an agent felt a slight relief after seeing him walk down safely.

...

On the plaza, Qin Zhizhi looked at the skinny, hunched old man with a ghost mask, whose body was obscured by black Evil Qi, and felt an inexplicable unease in her heart.

Her spirit body was special, and she had a second-tier Magical Artifact hidden within her body.

If this old man could really detect it by examining the new recruits one by one, wouldn't her life be in danger!

Although her Spiritual Root Aptitude was poor, her spirit body compensated for the lack of Spiritual Root Aptitude, making her Aptitude comparable to a dual Spiritual Root.

If she could gain merit in this infiltration mission, she would have hope for Foundation Establishment in the future!

Foundation Establishment was Qin Zhizhi's hope for revitalizing her Family.

"Next."

On the stage, the calm, aged voice rang out again.

The other party had selected seventy or eighty people, yet none were chosen.

Qin Zhizhi stepped forward, her heart anxious.

Her Blood Spirit Body had a strange effect and was very compatible with that second-tier Magical Artifact. Once she could advance to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, she could use her own Blood Spirit Qi to unleash the power of that second-tier Magical Artifact.

With this, she could contend with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Moreover, even at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, Qin Zhizhi could, by desperately activating her Blood Spirit Body and consuming her own Lifespan, also activate a trace of the blood serpent pearl Magical Artifact's power.

It could be used as a trump card in a life-or-death situation.

Qin Zhizhi stood before the tall, hunched figure, whose long ape-like arm rested on her shoulder.

Qin Zhizhi felt a chill on her shoulder as a cool Spiritual Qi flowed through her body, circulated once, and then dissipated outside her body.

"Next."

The calm, aged voice in her ear made Qin Zhizhi feel as if she had been reborn; after respectfully bowing, she turned and left the plaza.

...

At this moment, Shi Chuan, though his tone was calm, already knew his target.

'Found it.'

'It's actually a Blood Spirit Body, and there's a faint Magical Artifact fluctuation within her body. Although it's been sealed by a Restriction, the Demonic Fiend Vine in my Dantian has an exceptionally good spirit-detecting effect. These Spirit Testing Talismans have become mere accompaniments.'

'This person should be Qin Zhizhi of the Jiao Demon Sect. A Blood Spirit Body is somewhat troublesome.'

Shi Chuan, with his bronze ghost mask, watched Qin Zhizhi leave, deep in thought.

In the memories of Eternal Vine, the Golden Core old demon, there was an introduction to the Blood Spirit Body. One of the Disciples he had taken under his wing also possessed a Blood Spirit Body.

If a Blood Spirit Body has a Magical Artifact that matches its blood attribute, the person can activate the Blood Spirit Body within them, forcefully consume Lifespan, and thus control the Magical Artifact beyond their cultivation stage.

They can also perform a special secret technique to implant the Magical Artifact into their body and nourish it with their Blood Spirit Body.

The reason Qin Zhizhi was chosen should be due to her Blood Spirit Body.

If she could quickly Cultivate to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, she would be able to unleash the combat power of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator by activating the second-tier Magical Artifact within her during the future war between the two Sects.

The defection of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at a critical moment would undoubtedly have a significant effect.

If it were other spirit bodies, it would be easier.

However, even if it's a bit tricky, it's still manageable; he only needs to let her use the Magical Artifact once.

Afterward, he can make his move and collect the Magical Artifact!

"What a pity, they're all useless."

Shi Chuan remained calm, casually examining the last few Disciples.

He shook his head and said.

After speaking, he used the Cloud Soaring Art to leave White Bone Plaza, and a few breaths later, he disappeared into the vast, dark Evil Qi mist, vanishing without a trace.

Below.

Qin Zhizhi and the others looked up at the thin, tall figure disappearing into the sky.

"He just left?"

Qin Zhizhi didn't feel at ease in her heart; instead, she had a feeling of being targeted by a hungry tiger in the dark, making her hair stand on end.

"I must leave this place as soon as possible..."

"There might be something wrong with this veteran Disciple within the Sect!"

Although Qin Zhizhi only had a feeling, even if it was a false alarm, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

"Go to Nine Bend Market!"

Qin Zhizhi made up her mind.

The Jade Slip given by the Jiao Demon Sect Elder before she came had already marked many places within the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, and Nine Bend Market was a place where both Corpse Servants and Utility Disciple wanted to stay.

There, one could avoid the invasion of Yin Evil Corpse Poison and accelerate their Cultivation speed.

At this moment.

Hundreds of steps away from White Bone Plaza, on a branch of a withered tree, a black crow, no more than ten inches tall, stood, its emerald-like bird eyes fixed on Qin Zhizhi in the distance.
