Chapter 124: Corpse Pill Secret Art

each blossom miasma, once so potent, became chaotic under the assault of the Flying Heaven Oni's billowing corpse energy and the surging demonic aura of the Crow-Robed Daoist.If someone were standing...The cave dwelling was cramped, but it was decorated very warmly, like the boudoir of a wealthy young lady in the mortal world. Even some of the furniture and decorations were exactly the same as those used by humans.

At the deepest part of the grotto, there is a small jade-paved water pool. Spirit mist gathers above the pool, and below it is a very small spring. Half the pool is already filled with spring water.

Like a clear spring, this is the manifestation of Lingyan about to transform into a spring.

The quality of this spirit eye is even higher than Qin Sang imagined. Even in Shaohua Mountain, there are few cave abodes comparable to it. It is absolutely a top-notch cave abode.

Qin Sang nodded secretly, for this cave dwelling, his future cultivation speed could increase by one tenth out of thin air. Don't underestimate this point of improvement, little by little, it might just be the key to breaking through the Qi Refining stage.

Seeing that it truly was a spiritual eye, Qin Sang tossed the jade slip he had recorded to the white cat.

After seeing it, the white cat closed its eyes and sat still for a while. Suddenly, it waved its front paw and struck out several times with spiritual energy, condensing into several mysterious runes in mid-air.

"Whoosh!"

The runes entered the white cat's body.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within her suddenly retracted, and the demonic aura surrounding her weakened considerably. As long as she mastered it, she would be able to completely conceal her demonic aura.

As expected, the white cat was overjoyed. It stood up and bowed to Qin Sang, saying, “Thank you, Master Qin, for giving me the secret technique. I will now give you the secret technique to open the cave dwelling formation.”

Having said that, the white cat took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Sang with both hands. Then, she cast a lingering glance at her own cave dwelling, collecting all her belongings as souvenirs, and immediately bid farewell to Qin Sang.

Unexpectedly, the white cat left so decisively. Qin Sang sent the white cat out of the cave dwelling.

The setting sun casts a golden glow, and smoke curls lazily in the distance.

Qin Sang watched the white cat step onto the water and head west, its small figure disappearing at the end of the water marsh. He silently said: "I only hope you can safely reach Tian Yao Qiu and fulfill your wish."

After returning to his cave dwelling, Qin Sang began to ponder how he should decorate his newfound abode.

Here's the translation:

He does not care for pleasure, only a place to rest his head.

The cave dwelling is just the right size now. It can comfortably hold the water heart bamboo mat and some essential items, there's no need to expand further.

The only problem is that the cave dwelling formation's defensive capabilities are not strong. The formation left by the bamboo demon can only seal the spiritual energy of the spirit eyes, preventing it from leaking out. Also, after closing the formation, it has a concealment effect.

Qin Sang walked around the cave dwelling several times, then flew out to circle the island, finally checking the environment within a hundred-li radius. He found that the spiritual energy around the island was very thin, and the nearby small islands were also similar barren islands overgrown with weeds, lacking any trace of vitality.

Even if cultivators flew overhead, they wouldn't imagine that such a desolate place could have the Lingyan. They wouldn't even bother to take a second look.

Moreover, with the concealment of the formation, the cave dwelling is not easily found unless a powerful cultivator with strong divine consciousness carefully searches.

In the end, Qin Sang still decided that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he would find a powerful protective array to arrange around his cave. This place was already within Yuncang Great Marsh, where dragons and snakes were mixed, and it was not under the jurisdiction of Shao Hua Mountain. It was hard to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

After tidying up the cave with his blood-stained blade, Qin Sang cleaned it thoroughly. This cave was likely to be his companion for a very long time. He placed his familiar belongings around, looking left and right, he felt a strange sense of warmth, a feeling of 'home' emerging within him.

After tidying up, Qin Sang woke up Gu Yuan, who was unconscious. Gu Yuan's bones weren't that tough, so Qin Sang just gave him a few hits and he started spilling everything. After getting the information she wanted, Qin Sang gave Gu Yuan a good beating. Then, she sat cross-legged on a cushion, flipped through the jade slip in her hand, and fell into thought.

Combining the content of the Jade 簡's incantation and Gu Yuan's testimony, Qin Sang had a basic understanding of the situation.

It is divided into two parts. One part is the method of refining Corpse Pills, also known as Blood Heart Pills. The second part is how to refine Blood Heart Pills and benefit oneself.

First, let a person cultivate the first part of the secret art, allowing him to devour mortals and refine corpse demon energy. During this process, under the influence of corpse demon energy, his body and primordial spirit will undergo changes.

This sinister sorcery used this person's flesh as the furnace, the aura of corpses as the fire, refining the essence of this person and the souls and blood food he consumed into Blood Heart Pills.

Even if one begins with good intentions and can resist temptation, not harming innocent people, those who cultivate this evil art will eventually be eroded by its influence, their minds corrupted and driven mad by irresistible desires.

Once driven mad, instinct compels them to devour flesh and souls, completely beyond their control.

Even with the white cat spirit watching over him, Hei Wa's willpower would have been insufficient to resist. The mortals in the cave would have long since devoured him whole.

Cultivators who consume the Blood Heart Pill can use it to replenish their blood and Qi, strengthen their physique to enhance their power, and prolong their lifespan.

Of course, taking Xuedixin Pill comes at a price. Once you start taking it, you can never stop and must have a constant supply of Xuedixin Pill to replenish it.

Moreover, there will be residual corpse qi left in the Blood Heart Pill. While taking the pill strengthens one's physical body, as the accumulated corpse qi within increases, the body will irreversibly begin to undergo strange changes, cutting off any possibility of breaking through to a higher realm.

Without the blood-heart pill, or without the ability to suppress the corpse qi within their body, one would immediately turn into a monster, losing their sanity, just like what happened to Gu Tiannan in the end.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The master and apprentice discovered after they began their cultivation that they could not live without the Blood Heart Pill, becoming increasingly entangled in its grasp. To avoid being found out by Shaohuashan, they set a poisoned trap to lure him in.

They did not just harm the ancient country of Gu Yuan, but also because their acting skills were excellent and they acted low-key. Every time they saw an opportunity, they would take it. Moreover, they relied on Shao Hua Mountain and had the identities of disciples of the eight righteous sects, so they never aroused suspicion.

After learning the details, Qin Sang gave up on this secret technique.

The Jade Buddha can only help him maintain his soul and prevent his sanity from being affected. It cannot stop the Corpse Qi from corroding his flesh. Unless he can find another Jade Buddha that can protect his body, there's no way to stop this.

The consequences of being unable to build a foundation are even more unacceptable.

Putting that aside, Qin Sang casually began cultivating.

The aura is restrained, not truly concealing one's cultivation. If the other party's cultivation surpasses him too much, they can still see through it. It is not very useful now, but it may be useful in the future.

Sitting on the bamboo mat in the center of the water, practicing techniques and cultivating for a while, the cultivation speed was indeed several points faster than before.

Qin Sang couldn't stop the smile on his face. He tidied up the relics of his two disciples and thought about how to report this matter to Wen Shishu. Then he closed the cave and returned to Shaohua Mountain with Gu Yuan's body.

On the way, he made a decision. After returning to the mountain, he would first go to Baota Peak to find out about the effects and value of the mysterious orchid. Then, he would resign from his job as an attendant in the Earth's Abyss and return to his cave to practice diligently in seclusion. transmitting a voice message to Cui Ji.Cui Ji's face flushed red and then turned pale. He couldn't see through Qin Sang's true strength. His aura was clearly that of the early stage of forming a core...
