Chapter 1381 - 712: Blood-Reversing Corpse
...
Around that time, Yan Xiaobao finally completed the first step of the Reverse Blood Corpse Refining pill. The forty-nine corpses had been thoroughly infused with the appropriate magical plants, and now he began using the Flame Stone to raise the temperature of the Blood Lake. Soon, the medicinal liquid within the forty-nine corpses began to take effect.
A month later, the Cultivators on the Middle Peak felt as if they had died inside. They were angry about the injustice of the situation and started thinking that Nightcrypt should not be called Plaguedevil.
But then, something happened!
The forty-nine corpses started to wither slowly. As they did, Bai Xiaochun’s expression brightened, and he continuously made spell gestures, which in turn caused a gray Corpse Pill to rise from the Blood Pond.
"The critical moment has arrived!" Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath, then sent out a flurry of thoughts that caused the Emerald Zombie to open its eyes. Suddenly, forty-nine green strands of hair emerged from the Emerald Zombie, unraveling and thrusting into the forty-nine Corpse Pills, beginning to absorb them.
The Corpse Pills quickly withered and soon turned to ash. Their entire essence had been absorbed by the Emerald Zombie and transformed into forty-nine energy streams.
Yan Xiaobao’s expression turned incredibly serious as he hurried toward the Emerald Zombie, waving his right hand back and forth. Almost instantly, the Emerald Zombie turned into a pill furnace, and the forty-nine energy streams inside began to form the Reverse Blood Corpse Refining pill.
As he waved his hands, the Emerald Zombie trembled, and with a violent surge of energy, its expression twisted and distorted. Yan Xiaobao’s hair was a mess, looking tense. He waved his right hand, and the Emerald Zombie suddenly flew into the sky, then descended into the Blood Pond.
The Blood Lake almost immediately started to bubble and boil. Yan Xiaobao also flew into the sky, settled down cross-legged, and began creating complex spell gestures with his hands. With each movement of his fingers, the Blood Qi surged from the Blood Zombie within.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During this time, the forty-nine energy streams inside the Emerald Zombie seemed unable to merge together. Each time they tried, they spontaneously separated. The body of the Emerald Zombie began to shrink, with some parts seemingly on the verge of collapse. As it struggled, its sharp teeth, claws, bone spurs, and green hair all emerged and began to transform. However, they seemed unable to return to their original state.
"How could this be?!" Yan Xiaobao began to feel extremely anxious. It seemed that if he continued, the Emerald Zombie could be destroyed. Yet, he was unwilling to let this alchemical mixture fail. He suddenly raised his hand, pressing it against his forehead, causing it to open and revealing a heavenly Buddhist Law eye. Once it was revealed, he could clearly see the forty-nine energy streams inside the Emerald Zombie and how they were completely mixed and tangled.
The chaotic energy streams were clearly the result of the Blood Water from the Blood Lake. Although Blood Water was a precious substance on the Corpse Peak, Yan Xiaobao could now see just how mixed and impure it was.
At this critical juncture, the chaotic energy streams were polluting the Emerald Zombie, preventing the corpse’s aura from merging together.
"Damn it! How could the Blood Water Medicine Liquid be so impure??" Yan Xiaobao was very tense. He knew that for most others, the medicinal liquid in the Blood Pond could be considered exceptionally pure. In reality, the liquid used by most cultivators for corpse refinement was of much lower purity.
However, Yan Xiaobao had cultivated with the technique of eternal life, his eternal Blood Qi being the truest form. That was why the Blood Lake seemed so impure in his eyes.
"I need to find a way to purify it quickly. There’s no time to waste." Seeing that the Emerald Zombie wouldn’t last much longer, he gritted his teeth and waved his right hand. Instantly, a hundred different types of magical plants appeared. Yan Xiaobao’s eyes sparkled as he did mental calculations, then began to blend the plants together. By invoking the techniques of the All-Purpose Plants and vegetation, he fused the plants, ignited them, and sent them flying into the Blood Pond.
As they flew through the air, they transformed into medicinal liquid. When it entered the Blood Lake, it unleashed a powerful expulsion force, causing black smoke to rise and fill the area.
The fire wasn’t on the water’s surface, but inside it. As it burned, vast quantities of black smoke boiled and fused into the walls. At the same time, the Blood Water in the lake noticeably decreased.
This was a dangerous, rough method, the black smoke being not only difficult to eliminate but also very filthy.
However, Yan Xiaobao didn’t have the time to consider other matters. Soon, the blazing flames released more and more black smoke, which fused into the walls and spread throughout the entire Corpse Peak.
As this happened, the lake’s flames turned from black to purple, then finally to red. Over 90% of the Blood Water disappeared, but what remained was completely free of impurities. Yan Xiaobao made a spell gesture, pointing, and the remaining Blood Water flowed into the Emerald Zombie. As it fused in, Yan Xiaobao shouted. Finally, the forty-nine energy streams merged together, and the corpse’s aura began to fuse.
As they did so, a swirling vortex formed in the Dantian Region of the Emerald Zombie, eventually revealing the shape of a large pill!
Yan Xiaobao began to grow excited, staring directly at the pill. He had resolved all the issues that could have led to failure. It was at this point that he suddenly remembered the black smoke.
