Chapter 484: Demon Pill

The consciousnesses of Yu Hua and the Yellow-Armored man had just been erased by Qin Sang. Having gained some experience refining the handsome young man, and now with two cultivators at the False Core stage before him, Qin Sang was confident he could succeed with at least one. However, this wasn't enough; his plan could only proceed if both were successful.

Qin Sang placed them on the ground. Instead of rushing into action, he first sat cross-legged, settled into meditation, stabilized his cultivation, and tempered his state of mind. He remained in this state for two days.

Two days later, Qin Sang slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were deep as a secluded pond, calm and unwavering, devoid of any haste or hesitation. His tranquil gaze swept past Yu Hua and settled on the Yellow-Armored man.

The Five-Element Yin Objects flew out of the Corpse Puppet Bag and arranged themselves in a line before Qin Sang. The Yellow-Armored man cultivated a Metal-element technique, so Qin Sang reached out and picked up a piece of Azure Underworld Gold. He had prepared many Five-Element Yin Objects; four large pieces of Azure Underworld Gold would certainly be enough to refine four living corpses.

The Azure Underworld Gold melted in Qin Sang's palm, forming a small ball of blue liquid. It appeared very viscous, remaining tightly clumped even when Qin Sang released his spiritual energy, not flowing freely. After removing the few impurities from the Azure Underworld Gold, Qin Sang channeled the pure liquid into the Yellow-Armored man's Dantian. Next was the Yin Spirit Water, of which he still had several bottles, more than enough. As the Five-Element Yin Objects were channeled into the Yellow-Armored man's body, Qin Sang continuously performed countless hand seals, completing the corpse-refining restrictions step by step. He focused intently on every single step, daring not to be distracted.

Before long, the foundation-building with the Five-Element Yin Objects was successfully completed! From the outside, no changes were visible in the Yellow-Armored man. Qin Sang slowly exhaled, his expression becoming even more cautious. The main event was next: guiding the Earth Fiend Qi into the body to refine the Yellow-Armored man into a true living corpse!

'Whoosh! Whoosh!'The Earth Fiend Qi in the abyss surged, and a wisp of it was drawn over by Qin Sang. It was a very small wisp, yet incredibly violent. Qin Sang exerted all his strength to suppress the Earth Fiend Qi, but once it settled, he didn't immediately channel it into the Yellow-Armored man's body. Instead, he extended his spiritual sense and meticulously examined the Yellow-Armored man from head to toe countless times, especially the Dantian and Qi Sea area. Qin Sang made sure he understood every tiny change before stopping.

'Whoosh!'The first wisp failed. However, Qin Sang was already skilled. Before the spiritual energy in the Yellow-Armored man's Qi Sea could erupt, he withdrew the wisp of Earth Fiend Qi, then gathered a new one and tried again. Failure after failure. Finally, the first wisp of Earth Fiend Qi successfully integrated into the Yellow-Armored man's Qi Sea.

Qin Sang swiftly completed a hand seal and swept his spiritual sense over the Yellow-Armored man's Dantian. Within the spiritual energy, there was a black aura, appearing so abrupt and incongruous, yet they coexisted peacefully. This was just the beginning; it wasn't time to celebrate yet.

Back at Zhǐtiān Peak, when refining the handsome young man, a sudden abnormality had occurred when the second wisp of Earth Fiend Qi entered the body, leading to utter failure. However, Qin Sang was no longer the inexperienced person he once was, and he was prepared, so he remained calm and steadily continued to the next step.

The second wisp!The third wisp!As time passed, the Earth Fiend Qi within the Yellow-Armored man's body became increasingly abundant. Each attempt had at least a ninety percent chance of failure, yet Qin Sang showed no sign of discouragement. Failure was insignificant; the greatest danger was the instability of the Yellow-Armored man's Dantian.

Qin Sang's mind remained taut. He never rushed for success. Although several dangerous situations did arise at the beginning, Qin Sang resolved them in time, and the process continued, albeit somewhat shakily.

Inside the dark cave, besides the surging Earth Fiend Qi, there was no other sound. Qin Sang continuously attempted to channel the Earth Fiend Qi into the Yellow-Armored man's body, while simultaneously completing one complex hand seal after another at an increasingly rapid pace.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Another wisp of Earth Fiend Qi entered the body, causing a disturbance in the Yellow-Armored man's Qi Sea, which then gradually subsided. Qin Sang's eyes widened, and a rare flicker of emotion appeared in his usually steady gaze. At that moment, his movements suddenly became several times faster than before, dazzlingly swift, as one extremely complex hand seal after another flew out and landed on the Yellow-Armored man.

'Combine!' Qin Sang suddenly let out a low cry, and his palm, seemingly slow but actually swift, lightly pressed onto the Yellow-Armored man's Dantian. 'Boom!' A terrifying storm erupted within the Yellow-Armored man's Qi Sea, a silent, tremendous tremor!

The Yellow-Armored man's body trembled, the amplitude increasing. The sturdy barrier constructed by the Five-Element Yin Objects began to waver, and the restrictions on the Yellow-Armored man's body showed a faint tendency to collapse. Qin Sang's expression was grave as he frantically channeled spiritual energy, which surged into the Yellow-Armored man's body through his palm.

The storm intensified. An incredibly fierce counterattack came from the Yellow-Armored man's Dantian, beginning to backlash against Qin Sang. But Qin Sang never removed his palm, gritting his teeth and persevering.

Finally, the storm ascended to a peak, then abruptly ceased. The Yellow-Armored man stood still in the distance, motionless. Qin Sang was somewhat surprised. He hastily activated his spiritual sense, probing into the Yellow-Armored man's Qi Sea, and found that it had stabilized. The Earth Fiend Qi and the Yellow-Armored man's spiritual energy coexisted peacefully. As Qin Sang willed it, the Earth Fiend Qi and spiritual energy each separated a strand, and after merging, they flowed peacefully through his meridians.

Success! Qin Sang let out a long breath, his tense mind finally relaxing. Only then did he realize that his body felt somewhat empty; refining this living corpse had consumed so much energy. With this success, Qin Sang's confidence grew even stronger.

He tested the Yellow-Armored man's strength, then stored him in the Corpse Puppet Bag. He circulated his cultivation technique, recuperated to his peak state, and then summoned Yu Hua before him.

Two days later, a figure flashed out of the Earth Sinking Cave entrance, glanced at the directions, and headed directly south, entering the Cloud Sea Marsh.

Even with Qin Sang's resolute mind, there was a hint of excitement on his face. Both the Yellow-Armored man and Yu Hua, two living corpses, had been successfully refined! The refining process had been fraught with peril, but he had resolved each dangerous situation in time.

At that moment, the Cloud Sea Marsh was covered in dark clouds, and a continuous drizzle fell, yet Qin Sang felt no trace of depression. He rode a cloud, traveling at full speed, eager to fly towards the Chaotic Island Waters.

He traveled non-stop, journeying a great distance, until he finally saw the misty sea formed by the True Water Myriad Illusion Array at the edge of his vision. Qin Sang descended his cloud, quietly entered the grand array, transformed into a masked black-robed figure, and headed straight for Misty Isle.

Upon seeing Qin Sang, the unusually corpulent Steward Bao's face immediately creased into a beaming smile. He personally led Qin Sang toward the quiet room, and on the way, he couldn't wait to whisper, "Fellow Daoist, you certainly made this Bao wait! These past days, I've lost my appetite, couldn't focus during meditation, and even lost a few pounds just waiting for your news... What's the result?" Steward Bao looked at Qin Sang eagerly, as if dreading bad news.

'This fellow is truly fixated on living corpses,' Qin Sang thought to himself. Qin Sang chuckled faintly and said calmly, "Steward Bao, are your demon cores ready?"
