After sending Li Yuxian away, Li Xuangang took back the fire source stone from under the alchemy furnace and put it away.
In the two months since he came to Mangshanfang City, Li Xuangang spent almost all his free time refining Yanggu Pill and Chunlu Pill. After finishing the last furnace, he guessed that these amounts should be enough to support the Alchemy Pavilion for a period of time.
time.
Since Li Yuxian was entertaining casual cultivators in the lobby on weekdays, he didn't have to worry too much about the business of the Alchemy Pavilion. In this way, he also had some free time.
Sitting on the edge of the stone bed, Li Xuangang prepared to plan his cultivation process in Mangshanfang City.
As for the eleven thousand points of family contribution mentioned by the fifth uncle, he has not yet thought of any suitable way to raise it.
Therefore, Li Xuangang decided to complete the first level of the Nine Corpses Return to Yuan Jue first.
Previously, he had almost comprehended the first level of the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art, and now he just needed to practice according to the comprehension process.
Without wasting time, Li Xuangang took out the Spring Dew Pill and drank it, then closed his eyes and began to practice the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art.
...
In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.
Li Yuxian came over to give him the good news, saying that he had successfully stabilized the yield rate of Yang Gu Dan at 40% and officially entered the ranks of alchemists.
Li Xuangang first took out some yellow bud grass as a reward for Li Yuxian.
Then the news that Li Yuxian successfully became the family's new alchemist was sent back to Mount Taiqiu.
When the family caravan came to Mangshanfang City again, they brought family rewards from the patriarch Li Changqing.
In order to allow Li Yuxian to quickly increase the rate of Yang Gu Dan's success, Li Xuangang assigned him the task of refining alchemy in the alchemy pavilion.
Every month, Li Yuxian needs to refine two hundred copies of Yang Gu Dan in the Alchemy Pavilion. For a period of time since then, he has been in a state of enrichment and excitement.
...
Since Li Xuangang is already at the ninth level of Qi refining, and his talent for comprehending the techniques is not very weak, so after one year, he has successfully completed the first level of the Nine Corpses Returning Art. If
If you still want to practice the second level, you can only continue until you break through to the foundation building stage.
Get up from the stone bed and open the cave door that has not been opened for a long time.
Another cold winter is coming. Li Xuangang is a Taoist and has practiced body refining, so the coldness has no impact on him.
He walked around casually in the backyard of the Alchemy Pavilion, and finally sat down at the stone table.
The most troubling problem for Li Xuangang in practicing the Nine Corpses Returning Art has arisen. Now he needs to consider whether he should try to refine the Zombie Guard.
He already knew many years ago that all the monks who had practiced the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art before had not been able to successfully refine the Zombie Guard. He knew very well that the chances of his own success in refining it were not high.
But he was unwilling to give it a try.
After sitting at the stone table and struggling for more than half an hour, Li Xuangang finally made up his mind. He thought to himself: "At most, it is just a waste of some spiritual stones."
Judging from the method of refining the Zombie Guard recorded in the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Art, it mainly requires two materials, one is a refined corpse, and the other is a sufficient amount of high-level evil energy.
As for the amount of high-level evil spirit, it depends on the level of corpse refining used to refine the zombie guard. The higher the level, the more evil energy is needed.
According to Li Xuangang's estimation, if he wanted to refine his seventh-level Qi refining corpse into a zombie guard, he would need the evil energy of about five hundred spirit stones.
Taking some spirit stones, he walked to the lobby of the Alchemy Pavilion. After saying hello to Li Yuxian, Li Xuangang walked to the streets of Mangshanfang City.
This year, due to the intimidation of the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain and the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain, the order in Mangshanfang City has improved a lot, at least no casual cultivators dared to start brazen fights in the streets anymore.
Li Xuangang walked on the already bustling streets with a smile on his face. The more monks gathered in Mangshanfang City, the higher the family's profits would be every year.
Passing through the crowd, his target was some shops selling ghoul materials.
Although Mangshanfang City is a small city, there is still a relatively sufficient amount of ghoul materials circulating in the city due to the existence of a fourth-level low-level ghoul farm from the Ghoul Sect nearby.
Almost all the common materials for corpses can be found on the market. It didn't take long for Li Xuangang to spend 600 spirit stones to buy a sufficient amount of high-level evil energy.
Originally, five hundred spirit stones were enough, but Li Xuangang was worried about something unexpected happening during the refining process, so he bought some more.
The evil spirit worth six hundred spirit stones is actually enough to refine a Zombie Guard at the eighth level of Qi refining according to the records in the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art.
Of course, evil spirit is only the main material, and other auxiliary materials are needed to complete the refining.
Fortunately, these things are not difficult to find. Li Xuangang only visited a few stores and collected all the materials.
With these materials, Li Xuangang returned to the Alchemy Pavilion before nightfall.
Standing in the center of the cave, with his eyes slightly closed, he carefully recalled the process and details of refining the Zombie Guard.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Xuangang held his breath and adjusted his breathing.
He called the refining corpse out of the Nayin gourd and looked it up and down. After confirming that it was in excellent condition, he poured out all the remaining blood and essence of the green dragon and used spiritual power to control it. So these green dragons
The essence and blood turned into a blood mass in the cave.
Slowly controlling the refining corpse to the bottom of the blood mass, Li Xuangang sat down cross-legged and quickly touched a strange seal in his hand.
As he moved the seals faster and faster, the spiritual power in Li Xuangang's body began to emerge from his fingertips, and then merged into the suspended green dragon essence and blood bit by bit.
This process lasted for about half an hour, until Li Xuangang felt that his fingers were almost out of control, and his seal ended.
This ball of green dragon essence and blood began to vibrate due to the integration of Li Xuangang's spiritual power. From the surface, it looked like it was boiling.
When Li Xuangang saw this scene, he knew that the first step had been completed. Then he kept the seal in his hand unchanged and softly uttered the word "hua" in his mouth.
The next moment, the ball of green dragon's essence and blood burst open and turned into countless blood lines.
Without exception, these blood lines ran around in Li Xuangang's cave for a while, and finally gathered on the corpse in the center of the cave.
With the coverage of these blood lines, Li Xuangang's corpse refining seemed to be under great pressure.
The fangs in its mouth began to grow unconsciously, and the black robe on its body was torn apart by its expanded body.
The blood lines formed by the essence and blood of the green dragon seemed to have been forced into Lian Zhi's body by Li Xuangang. Now you can see that the blood lines are attached to Lian Zhi's body one by one, scrambling to penetrate into the latter's body.
.
Logically speaking, the body of this seven-layer Qi-refining iron-armored corpse is powerful enough, but at this time, the blood essence and blood of the green dragon, which was operated by Li Xuangang according to the techniques recorded in the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art, seemed to be the former's nemesis.
Every blood thread effortlessly broke through the corpse's body and entered under its skin.
Slowly, all the blood lines have entered the body of the corpse. At this time, the corpse looks extremely bloated, and it seems that if you poke it, it will burst immediately.
Li Xuangang was not surprised by the occurrence of this phenomenon, because it had been clearly recorded in the Nine Corpses Return to Yuan Jue.
After all the green dragon essence and blood disappeared, he released the second-order high-grade evil spirit he bought today, letting the evil energy wrap around the refined corpse whose body had doubled in size.
After a while, a shrill roar came from the corpse wrapped in the evil spirit.
Fortunately, Li Xuangang had already arranged the Three Talents Separation Spirit Formation in the cave in advance, so the outside world could not detect the strange phenomena in his cave at this moment.
Everything went well, Li Xuangang took out other materials from the storage bag, and then set up a strange magic circle in the center of the corpse refining.
With the appearance of this magic circle, the spiritual power at the foot of Mangshan Mountain began to slowly gather towards Li Xuangang's cave.
There are two steps left, and Li Xuangang dare not be careless.
I saw him resolutely walking into the magic circle, and then passing through the thick evil aura, he came face to face with the corpse inside.
Controlling the refining corpse to sit cross-legged like him, Li Xuangang forced out a drop of blood essence from his body, and touched the refining corpse's forehead with his right index finger.
It seemed that Li Xuangang's move had an effect. The corpse began to calm down and no longer roared. The body also slowly recovered towards its original appearance.
Half a month later, Li Xuangang was still sitting face to face with Lian Zhi, but now the evil spirit around them was much lighter, and Lian Zhi's body was no longer bloated.
Before deciding to go into seclusion to refine the Zombie Guard, Li Xuangang had already told Li Yuxian not to disturb him, so in the past half month, he had not been interrupted by anyone or anything in refining the Zombie Guard.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Li Xuangang knew that the last step was coming, and this was also the most critical step.
Countless monks who had previously practiced the Nine Corpses Returning Art were also stuck at this step.
Li Xuangang will make an extremely dangerous move, he will split his consciousness into a small piece.
