Hearing that the three of them were going to the mountains, Liu Zhen couldn't sit still and hurriedly advised them to do less than to do more.
But how could things decided by Li Qingfeng change because of an ordinary mortal? Not to mention that he is confident that he can protect the safety of his brothers. Liu Zhen saw that he was determined, so he had no choice but to agree. He just called a few more caravan guards to follow them into the mountains, and repeatedly told him to protect the safety of the Li brothers.
Although he didn't think anything would happen, and at most he would encounter some jackals and wild beasts, this was his sister's child after all. Even if he got knocked down, he wouldn't be able to explain it when he got back.
As the relatives of the Zhugan family were gathered together, a group of more than thirty young men, each holding a torch, marched into the mountain in a mighty manner.
After entering the mountain, a group of people spread out to look for him, and their shouts echoed in the forest.
Li Qingfeng unfolded his consciousness and felt that there was a strong gathering of Yin energy more than ten miles northwest.
He glanced back. Although the team dispersed, people still kept a certain distance to avoid anyone else getting lost. The bamboo pole girl was somewhere behind and to his right.
A ghost with this level of yin energy has the strength of a monk in the Qi training period. If a mortal encounters it, it will basically be a disaster.
A villager in front shouted that there was a sound in the east, and the whole team began to move slowly eastward.
This is exactly what Li Qingfeng meant. He avoided the sight of others, disappeared into the darkness, and headed west.
...
Li Qingfeng kneaded the magic formula with his hands and shuttled between the trees, getting closer and closer to his destination.
There is not only Yin Qi in the consciousness, but also fluctuations in spiritual power.
It seems that it is not just ghosts causing trouble, but it is driven by monks.
Li Qingfeng looked as usual, was he a lonely monk from the Ghost Control Sect? It was also within his expectation.
It's just that this yin energy doesn't seem right. It doesn't look like the yin energy coming from the ghost dispersion method, but more like a centuries-old locust tree or something with heavy yin energy.
It is very reasonable for monks from the Ghost Control Sect to practice Ghost Dao techniques in places with heavy Yin Qi.
At this time, the Yin energy gathers.
A young man was sitting cross-legged, making magic formulas with his hands, his face was ferocious, and he was mumbling words. In front of him lay a little boy of six or seven years old, naked, covered in blood, and traces of black energy swirling around him. He was still breathing and looked very distressed.
Not far away, a corpse was almost eaten clean, and the human form could no longer be distinguished. It could only be judged from the clothes that the body should have been a villager from a nearby village in life.
Around them, there were five other people sitting cross-legged, with their hands raised flat, motionless, and traces of black energy flowed from their palms, finally converging on the young man.
It can be seen through the black air that the skin of these five people is blue-gray and covered with long hair. Their eyes are protruding, their expressions are stiff, and their lips are raised, revealing a pair of pointed canine teeth below.
If Li Qingfeng were here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance as a corpse commonly seen around ghost monks.
Refined corpses have stiff bodies and great strength. They like to suck people's essence and blood. They generally have hairy bodies and no intelligence. But there are exceptions to everything. If the corpse is nourished by Yin Qi for many years, it can advance like a human monk and gradually develop a spiritual intelligence comparable to that of a human.
Corpse refiners in the world of immortality are divided into five levels. The lowest level of zombie refining is the zombie that people say, which is equivalent to a mortal human being, but with greater strength. The corpse in the Qi training stage is called an iron corpse. Its fangs are exposed, its body surface is hard, and it is indestructible to mortal weapons. The refining corpse in the foundation building stage is called a bronze corpse. It has bronze skin, copper skin and iron bones, and is extremely powerful.
As for the refining corpse in the pill-forming stage, it is called a silver corpse in the spiritual world. It has light silver lines all over its body and is not afraid of water or fire. The zombies at this stage already have a certain degree of wisdom, and their actions are no longer completely instinctive. The refining corpse in the Nascent Soul stage is called a golden corpse by practitioners. It has complete wisdom and can put away its long hair and transform into a human form.
Among the five zombies beside the young man, two were iron corpses in the Qi training stage, and the other three were ordinary zombies. It is obvious that the iron corpse's body is stronger and not as shriveled as the zombie's body. However, even the other three zombies can already see signs of bulging muscles under their skin, which proves that even these three zombies are about to advance into iron corpses.
The black energy from the five corpse-refining bodies gathered on the young man, causing him to roar. He changed the technique in his hand and pointed the fingers of his left hand together at the boy in front of him. Silks of black energy followed his fingers and stabbed the little boy. boy, and penetrated into the little boy's body.
The black energy penetrated into his body, and the little boy couldn't help but open his mouth and scream. But the sound it made didn't sound like a human being, but a shriveled roar like a zombie.
When the young man saw this, his eyes showed a bit of excitement. Veins popped up on his forehead, beads of sweat fell drop by drop, and his eyes were bloodshot. It could be seen that what he had done weighed heavily on him.
Suddenly, his expression changed. Although his hands remained motionless, his eyes turned to the east.
Someone is coming from the east, very fast.
"Who is it? Who will come here at this time? Is it Junior Brother Zhao? Impossible, they can't know that I used a fellow disciple to refine corpses! Who could it be?"
The young man's eyes were full of unwillingness.
This is the most important step in his "Blood Corpse Sacrifice and Refining Technique" and cannot be interrupted. Once interrupted, all previous efforts will be wasted, and he will suffer backlash and be seriously injured.
But it would take at least half an hour to complete this step, and the man on the east side was very fast and would be able to arrive soon.
"It's too late. This person is probably an enemy rather than a friend, so..."
Gritting his teeth, the young man pinched the skill in his hand, his whole body was shaken, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and blood also flowed from his mouth and nose. The black energy reversed, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and squeeze out a painful moan.
The skill backfired.
The young man's eyes were bloodshot. He quickly took out a few pills from his storage bag and took them. The long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain.
Then, he turned his head and looked in one direction, gritting his teeth, and the five zombies stood up and roared.
"Who ruined my life!"
A moment later, Li Qingfeng flew out from behind the tree, holding the magic formula in his hand and his eyes glowing with purple light.
"you wanna die!"
Seeing Li Qingfeng, the young man was extremely angry. With a wave of his hand, five zombies bounced up from the ground and rushed towards Li Qingfeng in the air.
"I will refine you into the Hundred Demon Banners, and you will not be able to live in peace even if you die!"
Li Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged, his eyes glowed with purple light, and the corpse he caught suddenly fell from the sky as if it had lost its soul.
"This! Impossible! Impossible!"
Seeing that his five zombies were defeated in one encounter, the young man suddenly broke away from the anger just now, with fear in his eyes. He crushed a jade plaque hanging at his waist with his right hand, threw a storage bag directly towards Li Qingfeng, and said quickly: "I am the grandson of the foundation-building monk of the Yugui Sect. Fellow Taoist, let me live. .....”
Before he finished speaking, his eyes met Li Qingfeng's, and he froze for a moment, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. The next moment, his head was pierced directly by an ice pick, and he fell to the ground, his eyes full of regret and disbelief.
If he hadn't used his fellow students to refine corpses, he wouldn't have gone to the wild to practice alone, without even a protector.
Li Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged. He interrupted the opponent's practice and caused backlash. He had already forged a life-and-death feud and could not spare the opponent's life. Furthermore, the corpse of the villager next to him was probably Zhugan's father. Since Zhugan decided to follow him, there was no reason for him to let go of the murderer of Zhugan's father.
Reaching out to take the young man's storage bag, Li Qingfeng's eyes glanced at the little boy beside him. He seemed to still be breathing, and traces of black energy were escaping from every part of his body.
Li Qingfeng shook his head. This child was probably hopeless. He wanted to take his belongings and leave, but when he turned around he saw the corpse of Zhugan's father. The image of Zhugan overlapped with the little boy in front of him. He sighed, went over to pick up the child, took out a Qi-Blood Pill from the storage bag and gave it to him, and then took out a Qi-Reviving Pill and drank it for himself.
Qi and Blood Pill is a common first-level elixir that can condense qi, replenish blood, and nourish the body.
Frowning slightly, Li Qingfeng was thinking, why did the young man choose this little boy to refine the corpse?
In terms of physical fitness alone, this little boy is definitely no better than an Orion.
After thinking for a while, Li Qingfeng put his right hand on the little boy's forehead.
Light blue light flashed, and Li Qingfeng's eyes flashed with surprise and understanding.
Sure enough, this child has spiritual roots.
What Li Qingfeng didn't know was that the "Blood Corpse Sacrifice and Refining Method" practiced by the young man could produce a blood corpse that was connected to the owner's mind. The blood corpse is extremely fast and powerful, more than five times stronger than the corpse refining of the same level. At the same time, the blood corpse has a greater chance of advancing into a higher level corpse refining.
However, the "Blood Corpse Sacrifice and Refining Method" also requires many requirements. For example, the blood corpse must be refined in a place with extremely heavy natural yin energy, and it cannot be mixed with too much yin energy from ghosts. Otherwise, the blood corpse will be mixed with the resentment of ghosts during the refining process, making it difficult to control. Secondly, the blood corpse is extremely yin, so people born at noon on the fifth day of May must be used as carriers to withstand the yin energy of the blood corpse and not die in the process. And this person must be a child. The child's soul is still in the state and can be easily erased. Only the blood corpse refined by the child can communicate with the owner's mind. Finally, the object of sacrifice must have spiritual roots, otherwise his body cannot withstand the erosion of spiritual power and cannot be transformed into a blood corpse.
It is precisely because this little boy was born at noon on the fifth day of May and has extremely strong Yang energy that he can survive the erosion of Yin energy.
Although he didn't know the little boy's origin, Li Qingfeng also discovered it when he measured his spiritual root. The little boy has three spiritual roots: fire, earth, and wood. The main spiritual root is fire. The sensitivity of his main spiritual root is extremely high, and even Li Qingfeng can feel a burning sensation when measuring the spiritual root. Li Qingfeng guessed that this might be the reason why the little boy survived.
He was preparing to destroy the body, bury the body and leave. Li Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed, he hugged the little boy and jumped into the air, flying straight to the west.
In his consciousness, a huge wave of spiritual power was coming in this direction.
Foundation-building monk!
