Refining Corpse Wei

To be safe, Shen Fan did not rush to leave.

Instead, he circled the complex market stall area for a long time.

Then he bought some daily necessities.

The Waste Pill Room was empty, with only him there.

Shen Fan bought some alcohol and other items, which didn't cost much.

The premium Spirit Rice was exchanged for fifteen Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

The medicinal herbs cost three, the Flame Snake Technique cost two, and he used one to buy a pound of Low Grade Spirit Rice.

He spent a total of six, and now he still had nine.

Shen Fan did not spend all of them, but kept them for a rainy day.

...

...

While in the stall area, Shen Fan made several turns and bought some clothes and a cloak.

He changed into them after turning a corner.

Even so, he did not rush to leave.

Instead, he continued to browse.

Then he arrived at the shantytown, and at a certain corner, he changed into his cloak and a mask again.

Only then did he step out of the market.

Old Duan had told him about the dangers of the market more than once when he was at Spirit Field.

He had been in Tianxuan Sect for more than ten years.

He had also been to the market many times, and the first few times, he was robbed on the way, and all his valuable items were taken.

Fortunately, the other party was wary of Tianxuan Sect and did not kill him, a Utility Disciple.

Therefore, even though it was Shen Fan's first time in the market, he cautiously followed Old Duan's method, bought several sets of clothes, changed multiple times, and only dared to leave after confirming there were no tails.

...

...

“Where is he?”

In the shantytown of the market, the few people Jack-of-all-trades called looked at each other.

Among them was Brother Biao.

“I just saw him, where did that kid run off to?”

On the other side, Shen Fan had already returned to Tianxuan Sect, while that group of people was still searching for Shen Fan's whereabouts.

“Boss, we lost him!”

Brother Biao said with an embarrassed look.

“Lost him?”

Jack-of-all-trades immediately gave him a big slap.

“That kid was clearly coming to the market for the first time, a total rookie, and you still lost him?”

“That kid doesn't seem like a rookie, he first went to the stalls and circled a few times, then went to the shantytown, turning this way and that, he's completely an old hand!”

Jack-of-all-trades fell into deep thought, narrowing his eyes and smiling, “It seems this guy must have been guided by an old timer!”

He was certain that kid was a rookie.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent two Spirit Stones to buy the most rubbish Flame Snake Technique.

...

...

However.

These matters no longer concerned Shen Fan.

Upon returning to the Waste Pill Room, Shen Fan immediately found five or six types of medicinal herbs required in the Corpse Refining Technique from among hundreds of types.

He then ground them into powder and evenly applied them to the dead Golden Silk Monkey Yao Beast.

Thus, the first step of Corpse Refining was successfully completed.

With the corpse preserved, Shen Fan now needed to use the special method from the Nine Netherworld Corpse Refining Art to circulate Spiritual Qi, inputting it through the corpse's acupoints to activate the dead Spiritual Vein.

It was a pity that Shen Fan's talent was not high; with a First-Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root, the Spiritual Qi stored in his body was simply insufficient to support the activation of the corpse's Spiritual Vein.

This was repeated over and over.

It took Shen Fan a full day to completely activate the corpse's Spiritual Vein.

And he also consumed a Low-Grade Spirit Stone during the process.

This made Shen Fan's heart ache.

However, even so, the effort yielded results.

Looking at the Corpse Puppet that could now move, Shen Fan revealed a relieved smile.

“With the Corpse Puppet activated, the next step is to nourish it with essence blood to achieve a state of Divine Soul integration, only then can the Corpse Puppet provide cultivation feedback!”

Shen Fan thought to himself.

He refined the Corpse Puppet not to have it fight or kill for him.

But to have the Corpse Puppet assist him in Cultivating.

Therefore, even if it was a Demonic Technique, since the purpose was different, Shen Fan did not think he was heading down an evil path.

...

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Shen Fan finally succeeded in refining the Corpse Puppet.

Looking at the Golden Silk Monkey Yao Beast in front of him, with empty eyes like a Puppet.

Shen Fan could clearly feel the current aura of this Yao Beast.

From the current perspective, the strength of this Golden Silk Monkey Yao Beast in its lifetime should have reached the Realm of about First-Order Third Layer.

Which was Qi Refining Stage Three.

And now, its Demon Core had been dug out.

Coupled with some damage to the corpse, after being refined into a Corpse Puppet, its strength had dropped to about First-Order Second Layer.

“Let's begin Cultivating!”

With a thought, Shen Fan controlled the Corpse Puppet to begin Cultivating.

As he circulated the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art, the Corpse Puppet also slightly opened its mouth, inhaling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to gather in its empty Dantian.

But the next moment, Shen Fan frowned.

“Why did the Spiritual Qi gathered by the Corpse Puppet suddenly disappear?”

Shen Fan immediately stood up and began to check.

After a careful inspection, Shen Fan discovered that this Corpse Puppet could not gather Spiritual Qi.

“It seems that its Demon Core was dug out, which is why the Spiritual Qi cannot condense. If that's the case, then didn't I waste all my efforts?”

Thinking of this, Shen Fan's heart immediately sank.

Days of effort, at such a great cost, yet in the end, it couldn't be used.

Looking at the creation he had just brought into existence, Shen Fan truly couldn't bear to put it into the incinerator to burn it.

“I wonder if installing a Demon Core for it would work?”

Just then, Shen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had found a broken First-Order Fifth Layer Demon Core in the ruins these past two days.

Because it was broken, all the Spiritual Qi inside had disappeared.

So it was discarded here.

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately took out the broken Demon Core, then excitedly placed it into the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

And at this moment, inside the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

There was surprisingly some soil, and on it was a Spiritual Plant that had bloomed.

This was precisely the result of Shen Fan's experiments over the past two days.

He put the Spirit Medicine seeds into the soil and then planted them.

The next day, this seed actually rooted, sprouted, and then grew and bloomed in the bowl.

However, if he needed to wait for the final fruit, it would take another day.

So, the current function of the treasure gathering cosmos bowl was replication, enhancement, andBirth (catalysis/hastening growth).

Looking at the already blooming Spiritual Plant, Shen Fan picked it, then poured out the soil and washed the bowl clean.

Then he placed the broken Demon Core inside.

...

...

Early the next morning, Shen Fan excitedly took it out.

Looking at the brand new, richly Spiritual Qi-filled First-Order Fifth Layer Demon Core, Shen Fan grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.

“This Demon Core is First-Order Fifth Layer, and the Corpse Puppet is First-Order Second Layer, I wonder if they are compatible?”

Shen Fan thought to himself.

Because now the Corpse Puppet's Spiritual Vein had been completely activated.

As Shen Fan embedded the Demon Core into it, the Spiritual Vein immediately formed a connection with the Demon Core.

“It's over!”

After doing all this, Shen Fan immediately slapped his head, secretly thinking, “Not good.”

“The attributes don't match!”

This was also Shen Fan's first time doing such a thing.

Moreover, he had just stepped into the Qi Refining Stage Three.

Regarding Cultivation matters, many basic common senses, without guidance, he didn't know.

He only realized the attribute conflict after he had done it.
