Chapter 122 Conditions
A piece of black cloth that looked like a bellyband and was faintly shining with blood was suspended in the air.
An extremely evil aura was emanating from the black cloth, rotating continuously.
This thing is exactly the Corpse King Banner that Zhang Chu used to offer sacrifices.
After devouring thousands of zombies infected with corpse poison, the Corpse King Banner was truly filled with murderous aura, and there was no longer any sense of peace and tranquility.
Just based on the aura he exudes, ordinary people would probably become seriously ill or even die if they took one look at him.
Zhang Chu sat cross-legged, constantly using his own magical power to cleanse the Corpse King Banner, trying to hide the boundless evil on it.
Unfortunately, no matter how he refined it, the Corpse King Banner was still filled with murderous aura, either because his magic power was too weak or because the Corpse King Banner was a treasure of the Corpse Dao.
After taking the Corpse King Banner in his hand and feeling it silently, Zhang Chu's eyes kept twitching.
The Corpse Refining and Corpse King Banners were already extremely evil things. Now, they were directly opened with thousands of evil souls, making them even more ferocious.
"fair enough!"
Zhang Chu put the Corpse King Banner into the storage space. "It is originally a thing with evil spirits, how can it appear harmless to humans and animals?"
The reason why he wanted to wash away the fierce power on the Corpse King's banner and make it restrained was very simple, just to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
It looks like a bellyband, who would have thought that it is the sinister Corpse King Banner?
I don’t know if it’s because of the killing he experienced, but Zhang Chu actually felt that his mind had become much more open-minded. It seemed that this was how it should be.
Even when practicing the Heavenly Corpse Technique, he felt a lot more relaxed, and even his control over his magic power reached a higher level.
Sometimes, Zhang Chu was quite confused. Is the Heavenly Corpse Art really a proper method of cultivation?
The gap between it and the general cultivation methods is really too huge.
Not to mention anything else, just speaking of the nature of the magic power, from what he had seen, whether it was Taoist Qianhe, Taoist Simu, or Lin Fengjiao, as well as the magic powers of other Taoists, if not exactly moderate and peaceful, then they were not as extreme as his magic power.
The Heavenly Corpse Technique he practiced was more like a demonic technique, and its destructive power and lethality were quite terrifying.
After the Corpse King Banner was cleansed, Zhang Chu took out the classics brought by Taoist Qianhe and began to study them carefully.
Whether it is formation, feng shui or divination, they are all very practical things for Zhang Chu.
Even if we can't figure out anything now, we will definitely learn something as time goes by.
These things require a lot of energy.
After several days of exploration, Zhang Chu had found a formation that he urgently needed, the Locking Yin Formation.
The so-called Yin Locking Formation can lock the Yin energy in one place in place and prevent it from spreading around.
The gathering place of Yin in Liancheng world is currently expanding.
As for the yin-gathering land, the bigger the better is not necessarily better, but a moderate size is good.
As long as the size of the Yin Gathering Land is moderate, as long as Yin Qi is continuously replenished into it, the Yin Qi in the Yin Gathering Land can become more and more vigorous. Even when it becomes vigorous to a certain extent, it may be able to achieve the same effect as a mass grave.
It can greatly shorten the time it takes for a corpse to turn into a zombie. It usually takes 49 days for a corpse to turn into a zombie, but under a strong yin energy condition, the time can be shortened to 36 days, and even a group of black zombies can be unearthed in half a month.
Shortening the time for refining zombies is equivalent to indirectly shortening the time for Zhang Chu's mana to increase.
Whether cultivating immortality or practicing Taoism, it is actually a fight against heaven for life.
The shorter the time it takes to enter the next level, the more time he has to break through to a new realm.
The higher the realm, the stronger the magic power, and naturally the longer the lifespan.
The night came quietly, and Zhang Chu went straight to the mass grave. In just a moment, the corpse qi and death energy that permeated from the mass grave was completely swallowed up by the Corpse King Banner.
It has to be said that after the Corpse King Banner devoured thousands of pieces of flesh and blood, its power was greatly enhanced.
Before, it took half an hour to completely absorb all the corpse qi and death qi that seeped out of the mass grave. Now, it only takes a cup of tea.
The corpse qi and death qi had been completely absorbed, and Zhang Chu walked out of the demon-sealing formation. With a thought, he arrived at the Liancheng world.
But he did not forget at all that today was the day when more than 200 refined corpses were unearthed.
As for the bodies of the dozen or so ninjas he killed, he had already prepared them for sacrifice and placed them in the corpse pit.
Perhaps, after more than a month, the number of iron-armored corpses in Zhang Chu's hands will increase by a few more.
It’s not that these ninjas are not strong, but they are just like coolies at that level.
Zhang Chu had no idea whether he could refine it into an iron-armored corpse.
The yin energy in the Juyin Land is now extremely dense. Among the dozen or so ninja bodies, three or five have transformed into armored corpses. Zhang Chu is very satisfied.
"Greetings to the Taoist Master!"
As soon as Zhang Chu stepped out of the door of the quiet room, he saw the man in black waiting there.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the unconcealed joy on the black-clothed man's face, Zhang Chu's mind moved, "Could it be that there is another elixir that can increase power?"
"Master Dao is wise!"
The man in black nodded immediately.
Having lived in the charity cemetery for so long, he had already figured out the pattern of when Zhang Chu appeared.
Every forty-nine days after the bodies were buried in the locust tree forest in the backyard of the charity cemetery, Zhang Chu would definitely come back.
That was when the corpses in the backyard of the charity cemetery transformed into monsters.
"Oh!"
Zhang Chu nodded. He was not surprised. Taoism was so vast that it was easy to find some formulas for pills that could enhance one's internal strength. The most important thing was, "Have the pills been refined?"
"Two kinds have already been refined!"
"Master, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Two kinds?"
This is really a surprise.
"Lead the way!"
Looking at the sky, there was still some time before the zombies emerged, so Zhang Chu did not hesitate and spoke directly to the man in black.
The man in black immediately took Zhang Chu and walked towards the alchemy room.
"Greetings to the Taoist Master,"
The alchemy room was still quite lively, with people still busy working. When they saw Zhang Chu coming, they immediately stopped.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Chu nodded, "I have refined two more power-enhancing pills. Let me see them!"
A Taoist immediately handed two porcelain bottles to Zhang Chu, "Master, make three pills of each kind of elixir!"
“Try it first!”
Zhang Chu took the pill, poured out one and handed it to the man in black.
Now, the one with the highest martial arts skills among Zhang Chu's subordinates is Heiyi, so of course he has to focus on training Heiyi alone.
If he could really break through to the innate realm, Zhang Chu would not only not be afraid, but would be extremely happy.
Only when he becomes stronger can he better help Zhang Chu.
When the elixir was being refined, the man in black was present throughout the process, so he naturally knew that there was no major problem with the elixir.
He took the pill and swallowed it immediately.
Feeling the black-clothed man's blood boiling, Zhang Chu's face turned solemn.
A pill that can strengthen qi and blood and make it boil would be more useful to Zhang Chu than the Dahuan Pill.
Isn’t the reason why Zhang Chu can’t practice internal energy because his qi and blood are stagnant and basically not flowing, making it difficult to condense internal energy?
Time passed by little by little. After half an hour, the man in black finished his training and opened his eyes.
He stood up and talked about his feelings after taking the pill. "This pill's effect on enhancing internal strength is not too obvious. I estimate that after it is completely refined, it can only enhance my strength for three to five years."
"However, it can greatly enhance the blood and improve physical fitness!"
"To be more precise, this kind of elixir is the best auxiliary elixir for horizontal training."
"Oh!"
Zhang Chu nodded, and with a flip of his hand, he put the pill into the storage space. "What is the name of this pill? Are there enough materials for refining? Is it easy to refine?"
"Master Dao,"
The Taoist priest who was refining the elixir stood up and said, "This elixir is called the Bear and Tiger elixir. It is made from the blood of bears and tigers, mixed with more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials. It is mainly used to enhance physical fitness and strength."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Chu nodded. From what he said, it should be easy to refine.
The blood of bears and tigers may be extremely difficult to obtain in modern times, after all, they are protected animals. However, in ancient times, bears and tigers were definitely harmful animals and killing them was beneficial.
"Master Dao,"
The Taoist who was refining the elixir continued, "The other elixir is the Gu Yuan Dan, which can strengthen the root and lay a good foundation!"
"It is made from dozens of precious medicinal herbs!"
"Black,"
Zhang Chu nodded, and then looked at the man in black standing beside him, "Are you going to take the Gu Yuan Dan again?"
"can!"
The man in black nodded, took a Guyuan Pill from Zhang Chu's hand, and swallowed it directly.
With Zhang Chu's extremely sensitive sense, the moment Heiyi took the pill, he clearly felt that Heiyi's condition seemed to have improved a lot.
Just based on this point, the Guyuan Pill is quite extraordinary.
How precious is the elixir that can eliminate hidden injuries?
Especially for the one in black, eliminating his own hidden injuries can increase his probability of being promoted to the innate level.
Sure enough, when the man in black stood up, the feelings he expressed were similar to what Zhang Chu thought.
"The pills are all good,"
Seeing several Taoists in the alchemy room looking at him eagerly, Zhang Chu thought for a while and said, "Refine thirty Bear Tiger Pills and thirty Solid Yuan Pills, and you can pass it on!"
"Yes, Taoist Master!"
The man in black immediately understood what Zhang Chu meant.
"Thank you, Taoist Master!"
The Taoists in the alchemy room were also very happy.
The method of longevity, even if it is just the basics, if you practice it successfully, you can live several more years.
"Don't be happy too soon,"
Zhang Chu looked at those excited Taoists and poured cold water on them, "You may not be able to practice."
"If you can't practice, no matter how good your technique is, it's useless!"
"By then, breaking through to the Xiantian realm first will be your only way out!"
"Medicine pills are indispensable!"
"Master Dao, rest assured,"
The Taoist priest who was refining the elixir immediately bowed and said, "We will never delay the refining of the elixir."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Chu nodded, looked outside at the sky, and walked out.
As for the man in black, he was surrounded by those Taoists.
The alchemist needs materials, and the man in black is like the general manager of the Longevity Alliance, so naturally he will ask him for materials.
Only if the thing is successfully refined can they get a glimpse of the method of immortality.
Zhang Chu didn't bother with such trivial matters anymore, but walked towards the direction of the Yin Gathering Land.
Looking at the Yin Gathering Land that had expanded a lot, Zhang Chu shook his head, "It seems that the matter of the Yin Locking Array needs to be carried out quickly!"
The zombies are about to be unearthed, so Zhang Chu naturally needs to be prepared.
More than a dozen refined corpses were directly distributed around the Yin Gathering Land, and the Corpse King Banner covered the entire Yin Gathering Land.
At the moment when the corpse was being refined and the Corpse King Banner first appeared, the temperature of the entire charity cemetery inexplicably dropped by several degrees.
The men in black and the Taoists who were discussing in the alchemy room all felt an extremely terrifying and murderous aura, even a threat of death.
They walked straight towards the place where the evil aura was emanating and saw the source of the evil aura.
It was exactly the dozen or so guardians of Zhang Chu, and the immortal treasure.
That’s right, they regarded the Corpse King Banner as an immortal treasure.
However, at this moment, the immortal treasure was filled with murderous aura. Just one glance at it made them feel as if they were in a sea of blood and corpses.
"Duh!"
As if sensing something, Zhang Chu's cold voice immediately woke up the dull-eyed people.
Several people's faces turned pale immediately, and they were already mentally damaged.
"Try not to look at it!"
Zhang Chu's voice rang in their ears, "It is difficult to recover from a damaged mind!"
"Thank you, Taoist Master!"
They knew in their hearts that if they watched for a while longer, they would be addicted to it, and by then, it would be more than just a simple mental and spiritual damage.
"okay,"
Zhang Chu waved his hand, "Go back and have a good rest!"
"Yes, Master Dao,"
Feeling the boundless evil aura, the Taoists present slowly retreated.
And Zhang Chu's eyes were fixed on the Yin Gathering Land from beginning to end, observing silently.
"Boom! Boom!"
It was another horrifying scene: pairs of arms covered with black hair broke out of the ground. Then, in the dust still flying, more than 200 zombies were unearthed.
However, the zombies unearthed this time seemed to be very well behaved, with no intention of resisting at all.
Instead, he looked a little trembling.
Whether it was the dozen or so refined corpses that had just killed thousands of people, or the Corpse King Banner that had devoured thousands of corpses, they were both filled with murderous aura.
How could a newly born zombie baby dare to challenge a refined corpse that is surrounded by bloody evil energy?
What's more, the corpses refined in the Corpse King Banner are at least Iron-Armored Corpses, and their level of suppression is so terrifying!
As soon as Zhang Chu had a thought, the corpse refiner drove the black zombie, which was like a good baby, and jumped towards him.
More than two hundred black zombies are enough to make Zhang Chu's realm of concentration completely complete.
His palm was placed on the black zombie's head, and clusters of corpse qi were continuously extracted and refined by Zhang Chu.
The night was getting darker, but Zhang Chu in the charity cemetery was still busy.
