94: Fusion, a clever choice for a demon cultivator? (Seeking follow-up reading)

Half a day later.

Inside the Evil Cave, where a misty haze permeated, Shi Chuan, clad in a black robe, sat silently on a Spiritual Plant cushion.

About ten steps in front of him, the Red Scale Puppet, with its burly figure covered in red scales, also emitted a powerful suction force, gathering the surrounding Evil Qi.

At this moment, the Red Scale Puppet's state was already nearing its peak, making it the best time to perform the Fusion of the Yaksha Seed.

In addition, Shi Chuan had also prepared a bottle of Low Grade Tier 2 Corpse Spirit Creation Fluid!

This spiritual fluid could assist corpse puppets in breaking through to Tier 2, akin to a Foundation Establishment spiritual item for corpse puppets, and Shi Chuan also had his Puppet Refining Technique.

The Yaksha Seed alone was enough to give the Red Scale Puppet over a seventy percent chance of advancing to a Tier 2 corpse puppet.

With a slight movement of Shi Chuan's Divine Thought, the Low Grade Tier 2 Yaksha Seed from within his corpse raising bag was taken out and suspended in the air a few steps in front of him.

The entire Yaksha Seed was about the size of a peach pit, resembling a fleshy ball made up of black fleshy threads, with small black tentacles waving back and forth on its surface.

From this Yaksha Seed, a surging pressure of Foundation Establishment Qi emanated, covering the entire Evil Cave. The moment the Law Seed appeared, it became the strongest contender for plundering Evil Qi.

However, Shi Chuan was protected by a thin layer of blood-colored clothing, so the Foundation Establishment pressure of this Yaksha Seed had no effect on him.

"The effects of the Demonic Fiend Vine are truly powerful!"

"It allowed the Yaksha Seed to largely repair its damaged parts in such a short time."

Shi Chuan felt the Yaksha Seed's aura, which was significantly stronger than half a day ago, and was quite amazed.

It had previously shown miraculous effects in repairing the tai peak token.

The vine threads could act as damaged formation patterns.

Now that Shi Chuan had tried it, it also had such miraculous effects on this Low Grade Law Seed, exceeding Shi Chuan's expectations. It directly allowed him to skip the Law Seed nurturing method he had prepared, saving a lot of time.

"Everything is ready. Fuse!"

Shi Chuan fluidly cast hundreds of hand seals.

The Yaksha Seed, suspended in the air, transformed into a swift black afterimage, directly crashing into the Red Scale Puppet's chest and fusing with it.

The aura around the Red Scale Puppet instantly became restless, its Qi Refining Perfection aura fluctuating wildly.

The entire corpse puppet's body visibly swelled up by a large circle, as if infused with a large amount of gas, and grew two or three heads taller.

Its limbs became swollen, and its appearance began to turn grotesque.

The Red Scale Puppet's Physical Body was being transformed by the Yaksha Seed. If, during the transformation, it exceeded the Red Scale Puppet's Physical Body's endurance limit, the corpse puppet's body was highly likely to explode on the spot.

"Corpse Spirit Creation Fluid!"

Seeing this, Shi Chuan decisively took out the bottle of purplish-red spiritual fluid. This was a Foundation Establishment spiritual item for corpse puppets, purchased by owing over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Its price was no less than that of Foundation Establishment spiritual items for Human Race and Yao Race Cultivators.

The purplish-red spiritual fluid transformed into strands of purplish-red threads, like a spider web, enveloping the Red Scale Puppet.

After the Red Scale Puppet absorbed the Corpse Spirit Creation Fluid, its previously fluctuating and restless aura gradually stabilized, and the cracks on its grotesquely swollen Physical Body slowly began to mend.

Immediately after, strands of Demonic Fiend Vine began to spread from Shi Chuan's body, and in just a few dozen breaths, they had enveloped the entire rock wall of the Evil Cave.

At the same time, the blood serpent pearl also floated above Shi Chuan's head, releasing a blood-colored light curtain that enveloped the Demonic Fiend Vine.

"Master, I will control the blood serpent pearl to help you."

Qin Zhizhi's voice emanated from within the blood serpent pearl.

"Good."

Shi Chuan nodded in response.

Once the Red Scale Puppet advanced to a Tier 2 Flying Yaksha corpse puppet, the phenomenon of Foundation Establishment Stage corpse puppet pressure emanating would not be a good thing for Shi Chuan, as it would surely attract trouble.

It was precisely for this reason that various Restriction methods were set up to isolate the aura from the Red Scale Puppet's body.

The subsequent transformation, even with his assistance, would take at least three days before the Red Scale Puppet could transform into a Flying Yaksha.

...

In a flash, it was zi shi (11 pm - 1 am).

[zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) has arrived]

[You received a green intelligence report]

[Tier 2 Green Intelligence Report: The Evil Cave Immortal Cave you rented, its previous tenant, Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator Hong Ze, claimed to have failed in puppet refining, but he actually succeeded in refining himself into a Low Grade Tier 2 corpse puppet, gaining several times his former Lifespan. However, he was possessed by two Foundation Establishment demonic souls hidden within the corpse puppet, resulting in one body and three souls.]

[When Hong Ze had control of his body, he hastily placed his Spirit Stones and a Tier 2 Magical Artifact that restrains demonic sealing in room number seventy-four of Purple Mountain Quarter, concealing them with a set of High Grade Tier 1 Formation Plates.]

Shi Chuan, inside the Evil Cave, scanned the intelligence report that had been newly compiled this time.

This meant there was a Tier 2 Magical Artifact to pick up, and it was a demonic sealing Magical Artifact, seemingly capable of restraining Divine Souls.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a Magical Artifact that could store a large number of corpse puppets.

Magical Artifacts capable of storing numerous corpse puppets were extremely rare, only sought after by Cultivators specializing in the Puppet Refining Dao. Therefore, the refining of such Magical Artifacts was relatively niche and rare.

Even in the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Pavilion, such corpse raising Magical Artifacts only existed at Tier 1; there were no Tier 2 ones.

"He refined himself into a corpse puppet to increase his Lifespan?"

Shi Chuan's mind was calm.

For Demonic Cultivators nearing the end of their Lifespan, refining themselves into corpse puppets to gain more Lifespan was just a common practice.

It was just that this Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator chose to refine a puppet into his body, but the puppet refining Materials he chose also had two old ghosts hidden inside, who seized the opportunity to possess the Demonic Cultivator's Physical Body.

He was targeted by two sneaky fellows!

Transforming into a ghost Cultivator was a method many Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators used to extend their Lifespan. However, if they didn't have ghost Cultivation Technique after the transformation, advancing would be much more difficult.

This was a basic operation among Demonic Cultivators.

Such parasitism within other Tier 2 corpse puppets, or possessing the bodies of other Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators, allowed them to slowly recuperate.

"Purple Mountain Quarter is not far from Eastern Suburb Ward!"

"Hiding his Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts on his person was a very clever choice. Once his body was possessed by the other two old ghosts within, Hong Ze's belongings would no longer be under his control."

Shi Chuan praised his actions.

After all, he was currently short on Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts, so a Cultivator who brought him Magical Artifacts and Spirit Stones deserved a compliment.

Subsequently, Shi Chuan's gaze fell upon the Red Scale Puppet in front of him. The Red Scale Puppet's aura had successfully surpassed the Qi Refining Stage, exuding mountain-like pressure, yet its figure had become much leaner.

More than half of its red scales had turned into a mix of black and red.

On its back, there were two sizable, elongated fleshy lumps. These lumps grew rapidly within just a few hours, and something seemed to be subtly growing out of them.

Shi Chuan's Divine Thought swept over them; black and red intertwined fleshy threads were rapidly growing within the lumps.

Puff, puff, puff!

Silver bones grew out of the fleshy lumps. In less than an hour, they formed the rudimentary shape of a pair of massive wings, about ten feet long.

The silver bones shimmered with silver light, possessing considerable Divine Might.

The core ability of the Low Grade Yaksha Seed lay in its escape speed; it was a highly agile corpse puppet, with an escape speed slightly faster than that of an average Low Grade Flying Sword.

However, in terms of combat, it was somewhat weaker than Tier 2 corpse puppets of the same level.
