The first anniversary memorial day after Ni Kun was buried.
Zhao Xiulin came to Ni Kun's burial place, took out a set of formation flags, and placed the eighteen black formation flags around the depression one by one. Then she stepped on the cloth bucket, made seals with her hands, recited mantras, and performed rituals.
Refining a corpse, praying silently in your heart:
"Lord, this slave has had a very fulfilling life this year. I have been practicing hard every day. Although my cultivation has not improved due to the environment of Black Death Valley, I feel that my spiritual power has become more pure and my spells are much more powerful. Control
The magic weapon is also more handy...
"I also practiced a body-refining technique called 'Snake Demon Bone Refining'. I deliberately used the Yin evil energy to carefully temper my body. After this year, I have achieved some success. I will not be strong.
Secondly, the key is that your body becomes extremely flexible and you can perform various difficult movements. Only you, the master, can't think of it, and no slave can't do it...
"I have fulfilled the tasks ordered by the Lord without compromise! Every ten days, I will spare an entire night to maintain the Lord's Qingyun Bell..."
In her mind, she silently reported everything she had done this year to the Lord. Zhao Xiulin stopped her "practice", put away the formation flag, erased all traces, and cast various detection spells to make sure there were no traces around her.
People peeked, then got up and left.
A few hours later, Zhao Xiulin returned to this place like a ghost, cast another spell to detect it, and finally left with peace of mind.
In fact, she doesn't need to be so steady.
In the Black Death Castle, those who have the ability to track her may not necessarily value her "bronze corpse", which is either successful or not, and is still in the middle of the debate - the zombie grades, from lowest to highest, are walking zombies and iron corpses.
The lowest level walking zombies can only compete with ordinary warriors.
The iron corpse corresponds to the Qi Refining Realm, the bronze corpse corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the silver corpse corresponds to the Golden Core Realm, the gold corpse corresponds to the Nascent Soul Realm, and the Flying Yaksha corresponds to the God Transformation Realm.
Of course, golden corpses are very rare. Even if the Xianyin Sect has such a large treasure land for raising corpses, "Black Death Valley", and has countless cattle and horses for raising corpses, it will still take many years to raise one.
As for the Feitian Yaksha, it is even more of a legendary variety. I don’t know if there is one in the Xianyin Sect.
Zhao Xiulin, a zombie, even if it is refined into a "bronze corpse" ten years from now, will only be as strong as the initial stage of foundation building because of its age.
And the Fairy Sound Witches in the early stage of foundation building are already qualified and capable of going to the depths of the Black Death Valley to subdue stronger mid-to-high-level bronze corpses as guardians. How can they covet one of Zhao Xiulin's elementary bronze corpses?
Only those Qi Refining Realm disciples like Zhao Xiulin who were punished to guard Black Death Valley for violating the sect rules would be interested in this bronze corpse.
Although Zhao Xiulin was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, because she was from the Qianye royal family with a profound background, her equipment was luxurious in the Qi Refining realm. Even Qi Lingyun, who was in the early stage of foundation building, was afraid of her.
With her strength, even the inner disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refining would be powerless if they wanted to snatch food from her hands.
Therefore, although many people know that Zhao Yaonv's furnace is a top-notch corpse-refining material made of copper skin and iron bones. It only takes ten years to make a copper corpse, but no one dares to try to follow her.
Stealing the "bronze corpse" that she had not completed yet.
They are all a little afraid of Zhao Xiulin's "talisman" that even Qi Lingyun had to retreat from once.
…
On the second anniversary memorial day, Zhao Xiulin came here again.
The next third year, the fourth year...
Every year, Demon Girl Zhao would come here on time, and while pretending to practice corpse refining, she would report her work to the Lord in her heart. Regardless of whether the Lord could hear her or not, she only focused on being herself.
Time passes year by year.
Unknowingly, it has been the ninth anniversary since Ni Kun was buried.
There are only a few months left before Zhao Xiulin's ten-year sentence ends.
The ninth anniversary memorial day.
Zhao Yaonv, as always, came to the burial place of Ni Kun.
"My lord, the ten-year period is coming soon. In more than four months, I will serve my sentence and leave Black Death Valley."
Zhao Yaonv knelt on one knee in front of the crack where Ni Kun was buried, and whispered.
After the words were spoken, there was silence for a while.
The ground in front of Zhao Xiulin suddenly trembled slightly.
Then there was a loud bang, the ground suddenly burst open, and the soil erupted into the sky like a black fountain.
Amidst the splashing of mud and rocks, a claw of a hand came out from the ground, with its fingers spread out and its palm facing the sky, as if it was about to tear the sky apart with its claws.
The claws had shriveled muscles and dead white skin, like skinned bone claws.
On the extremely white skin, there are also strange black lines that seem to be naturally formed and penetrate into the texture, making people feel dizzy at a glance.
The five nails on the fingertips are all three inches long, as black as ink, as sharp as daggers, and emit a cold metallic light that makes people feel chilled.
After just one glance at the claw, Zhao Xiulin felt as if she had seen a natural enemy, and felt frightened and palpitated for a while.
You know, during these ten years of torture, although she has made no progress in her cultivation, and even made a slight regression, she is about to fall from the eighth level of Qi refining and return to the seventh level of Qi refining, but the omnipresent Yin evil death energy is corroding and forcing her to
Over time, her spiritual power has been honed to become more refined and refined, and her foundation has been laid solid. Whether it is casting spells or wielding weapons, she is much better than she was ten years ago.
Coupled with the fact that she also practiced body training techniques, her willpower was far better than before. She thought to herself that if she met herself ten years ago, she would be able to behead her head neatly and neatly with less than ten moves.
But even though her strength had improved tremendously, and even though her will had become stronger, when the claw appeared in front of her, she still didn't dare to look directly at it, and she still shuddered deeply at it.
After her heart palpitated and trembled, she felt a surge of heartfelt ecstasy.
Then a drunken blush appeared on her pale cheeks, and ripples flashed in her eyes. She bowed her head deeply, kowtowed devoutly, and said in a trembling voice:
"My slaves welcome the Lord out of seclusion! Congratulations to the Lord on your successful cultivation and great improvement in strength!"
…
When Zhao Xiulin returned to the garrison fort again, she was followed by a tall figure wearing a black robe, with her head and face covered in a hood, leaving only a pale chin exposed.
When the figure was walking, his steps were slightly stiff, and his whole body exuded a cold and deathly aura that was unapproachable to strangers. There was also a trace of sinister aura, which condensed around him and turned into a black color visible to the naked eye.
The lines are like tiny black snakes, twisting and swimming, hissing and appearing and disappearing.
I saw Zhao Xiulin coming back with the man in black robe.
The inner disciples who knew what she had done over the years discussed privately:
"That's the zombie that Zhao Xiulin has been practicing for nine years? What level is it?"
"The aura of death is overwhelming and the evil spirits are lingering around the body. It must be a bronze corpse!"
"Tsk, it took nine years to make a bronze corpse... Zhao Xiulin's furnace back then was indeed a natural copper skin and iron bones, the best material for making corpses! Qi Lingyun suppressed this time, but he didn't expect to give up.
She was a blessing in disguise.”
"Oh, that's because Zhao Xiulin has Ning Feiyan's help. Otherwise, Zhao Xiulin's sentence would be twenty years. She can survive ten years, but after twenty years, she will become a useless person. Even if she practices
It’s useless to produce a high-level bronze corpse.”
"In any case, Zhao Xiulin's ten-year sentence is about to expire, and she is safe and sound. She has also become a new person in these ten years of hard work, and she has also raised a bronze corpse. Qi Lingyun's calculation is a futile effort, and Zhao Xiulin's achievements have been in vain.
field."
"Hey, if you think so, you are underestimating Qi Lingyun... Senior Sister Qi in the Upper House, because of her background, has the best face. Give her face, she is a broad-minded and good senior sister, don't give her face,
She is a petty person who will retaliate. Zhao Xiulin humiliated her in the beginning, but now she has returned unscathed, which is a blessing in disguise... Do you think Qi Lingyun will really let it go? I'm afraid you have never heard of what Qi Lingyun once said.
A famous saying, right?”
"What famous quote?"
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. A cultivator's revenge is never too late in a hundred years!"
