Chapter 290: Golden Core Formation, Corpse Demon Controls Corpse Demon!
by xennovel“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
In an instant, a head appeared. Its face was black and rigid, eyes pitch-black without any white, hair disheveled, looking ferocious and terrifying.
“Holy crap.”
Even though Lu Changsheng had seen many things, seeing this Ghostly Head from the Netherworld still made his heart skip a beat, feeling somewhat chilled to the bone.
This head wasn’t just ferocious and terrifying.
Its black face resembled a horse’s, like an elongated dough, grotesque and eerie.
Its two eyes were like swirling black holes, captivating one’s mind and soul.
“Ghostly Head from the Netherworld… truly bizarre.”
The information about this Third-Tier corpse puppet appeared in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, early-stage Third-Tier power.
Its abilities were strange and unpredictable, mainly focused on illusions, able to form a ghost domain.
Within the ghost domain, only Golden Core cultivators could resist.
For Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators or magical beasts, once they entered the ghost domain, there was only one path—death.
Moreover, under the long-term erosion of the ghost domain, these living beings would be refined into ghost slaves by the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld.
These so-called ghost slaves were a kind of puppet, spirit soldiers.
At that time, once the ghost domain was spread out, this Ghostly Head from the Netherworld would have many fearless ghost slaves, and its overall strength would continue to increase.
“Ghost domain.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the ghost domain effect of the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, his eyes slightly narrowed, muttering to himself: “Hong Lian once said that when a Golden Core cultivator’s internal spiritual power is highly concentrated, a certain domain would vaguely form around them, called the ‘Golden Core Domain’.”
“This kind of domain might not have much effect on cultivators of the same level, but against Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, it’s absolutely overwhelming.”
“The reason why False Core cultivators are far inferior to Golden Core cultivators, apart from their inability to progress in cultivation, is that they can’t form a domain and can still be challenged by Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even besieged.”
“This ghost domain should be similar to a Golden Core cultivator’s domain.”
Lu Changsheng pondered.
Since he had never seen a Golden Core cultivator in action, he had always been curious whether his current strength could kill a Golden Core cultivator across realms.
So he had specifically asked Hong Lian about this question.
Hong Lian told him that once a cultivator breaks through to Golden Core, they can form a domain.
This domain doesn’t have much effect on cultivators of the same level.
But for lower-level cultivators, it’s absolutely overwhelming!
Lu Changsheng, relying on Talisman Formations and Third-Tier Talismans, could catch a Golden Core cultivator off guard and even potentially kill them.
But once in direct combat, if the opponent’s Golden Core domain spread out, it would be difficult for him to circulate his spiritual power.
At that time, even with a hundred techniques, he wouldn’t be able to deploy them and couldn’t be a match for a Golden Core opponent.
So when encountering a Golden Core cultivator, one absolutely must not enter the range of their domain, otherwise it’s extremely dangerous.
“Ghost domain, ghost slaves… speaking of which, can this Ghostly Head from the Netherworld turn Xiahou Wuwo’s Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought.
That Mystical Evil Corpse, since he couldn’t control it, was also prepared to feed the Bizarre Prison Demon Flower.
But the Bizarre Prison Demon Flower was still digesting Xiahou Wuwo, so the Mystical Evil Corpse was still around for now.
Now, seeing the abilities of the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, he suddenly thought, if the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld could turn the Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave, wouldn’t its strength greatly increase?
“However, the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld can only enslave and refine those weaker than itself into ghost slaves. That Mystical Evil Corpse is also early-stage Third-Tier, it might be a bit difficult to refine it into a ghost slave.”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
Although this Ghostly Head from the Netherworld was powerful, it wasn’t abnormal enough to turn the Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave.
“Now that the Mystical Evil Corpse is suppressed by Sumeru, we can try.”
Lu Changsheng stood up, preparing to go and try, to see if it could work.
If it worked, that would be great.
If not, it didn’t matter, he would continue to feed the Bizarre Prison Demon Flower.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Changsheng said to the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld.
This Ghostly Head from the Netherworld had a simple consciousness.
However, being a system product, it was bound to be of high quality.
It directly recognized its master, able to communicate like a spirit beast, and wouldn’t turn on its master.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, controlling this Ghostly Head from the Netherworld would constantly erode one’s mind, thus affecting one’s nature.
If there were no treasures to suppress one’s mind, once eroded to a certain extent by the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, one would be possessed and devoured by it.
Although the problems of recognition and betrayal were solved, because he was currently only at Foundation Establishment level, he couldn’t stay in the ghost domain of the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld for long.
Otherwise, even he, as the master, would be eroded and affected by the ghost domain effect.
Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, this ferocious and terrifying ghostly head floated by Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, accompanying him.
“Tsk tsk tsk, how come I’m becoming more and more like a demonic cultivator.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld by his shoulder and couldn’t help but shake his head.
He felt that if he walked around like this in the outside world, he would definitely be taken for a demonic cultivator.
Arriving outside the great hall, looking at the Mystical Evil Corpse confined in the air by Sumeru, Lu Changsheng said to the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, “Go!”
There was another advantage in the Sumeru Cave Heaven.
That is, no matter what was done, with Sumeru present, there was no worry about accidents.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
In an instant, the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld soared into the sky, its hair flying wildly, its aura becoming dark and terrifying.
A layer of jet-black light accompanied by wisps of black mist spread out with it as the center, instantly covering the large, seemingly dispersed form of the Mystical Evil Corpse.
The entire sky of the Sumeru Cave Heaven immediately became hazy with black qi, with ghostly winds howling, as terrifying and eerie as the netherworld.
“This ghost domain looks a bit like a formation space?”
Lu Changsheng looked at this ghost domain and stroked his chin.
Then he called out to Sumeru: “Sumeru.”
A streak of golden light fell on Lu Changsheng’s body surface, wrapping him entirely, transforming into a golden battle armor.
Lu Changsheng, clad in golden battle armor, his whole body glowing, entered the ghost domain of the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld to check the situation.
As soon as he entered the ghost domain, he felt his spiritual power sink and become slightly sluggish.
Moreover, inside, he couldn’t sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
“So this is the ghost domain.”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, surveying his surroundings.
Everything around was gray and hazy, with black ghostly winds howling, seemingly transforming into ghostly faces, wailing and crying.
A wave of negative emotions such as sadness, pain, panic, fear, loneliness, and despair surged in his heart.
“What a terrifying ghost domain. If ordinary Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators enter this ghost domain, they would lose their minds and have their inner demons stirred up even without the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld taking action.”
Lu Changsheng experienced the power and effect of this ghost domain for a while and was secretly shocked.
He knew that in this ghost domain, the illusion abilities of the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld could even stir up others’ inner demons.
If two people were in a battle, once there was a flaw in the mind, it would be the end.
Then Lu Changsheng looked at the Mystical Evil Corpse enveloped in black qi.
This Mystical Evil Corpse seemed to still have some instincts.
Sensing that it was being refined into a ghost slave, it was struggling instinctively.
But facing the dual suppression of Sumeru and the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, it had no power to resist.
At this time, the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld also transmitted a thought, indicating that it could refine the Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave.
But after being refined into a ghost slave, the Mystical Evil Corpse’s strength would decrease, no longer possessing its original mystical powers.
Moreover, after turning it into a ghost slave, it would also put some pressure on the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld itself, limiting the total number of ghost slaves it could control in the future.
“How much exactly will its combat power decrease?”
Lu Changsheng asked the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld.
“It will no longer possess its original mystical powers, mostly fighting on instinct.”
The Ghostly Head from the Netherworld transmitted a thought.
“That’s good enough. This Mystical Evil Corpse’s main combat power is in its physical body anyway.”
“Moreover, once it enters the ghost domain, with the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld interfering with the mind, the Mystical Evil Corpse in direct combat is no match for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.”
Lu Changsheng felt this trade-off was worth it.
The most important thing was that by controlling the Mystical Evil Corpse through the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, this Third-Tier corpse king wouldn’t turn on him, and he didn’t need to spend effort feeding it.
After confirming the situation with the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld and the Mystical Evil Corpse, Lu Changsheng walked out of the ghost domain, the golden battle armor on his body dissipating.
Seeing the beautiful and bewitching Bizarre Prison Demon Flower by the spirit spring pond, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, his face showing a somewhat strange expression.
“Why does it seem like I’m heading more and more towards the path of demonic cultivation?”
Lu Changsheng said with a strange expression.
He shook his head and said, “No, my heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror.”
“Besides, power has no good or evil. If used for good, it’s righteous; if used for evil, it’s demonic!”
“As someone full of positive energy like me, saving countless unfortunate people, even if I have some demonic techniques, I’m still on the righteous path!”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a calm expression.
At Biyun Peak, in the Lu Family Mansion.
Lu Changsheng was accompanying Bai Ling.
Now, Bai Ling’s cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
After spending some more time refining her spiritual power to perfection, she could attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.
“Changsheng.”
At this time, Lu Miaoge sent him a message,,saying that something was wrong in the Sumeru Cave Heaven.
“Something’s wrong?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, told Bai Ling to wait for him for a while, and went to the Sumeru Cave Heaven.
When he arrived at the Sumeru Cave Heaven, he realized that the “something wrong” Lu Miaoge mentioned referred o the ghost domain formed by the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld.
“Sister Miaoge, don’t worry. I saw that Xiahou Wuwo’s Third-Tier corpse king was being wasted just sitting there, so I used another method to refine and control it.”
Lu Changsheng explained.
“Changsheng, corpse refining and demonic techniques go against the natural order. If you can use them less, try to use them less.”
Lu Miaoge, hearing this, purssd her lips and said softly.
Although she didn’t object to her husband using demonic techniques, she couldn’t fully accept it either.
After all, in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, demonic cultivation was always portrayed as a great evil that went against the natural order.
Moreover, whether it was the Bizarre Prison Demon Flower or now the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, their appearances were somewhat bizarre and evil, and she was worried that Lu Changsheng would be influenced.
At that time, it wouldn’t just be Lu Changsheng who was affected, but the entire Bihu Mountain.
“Sister Miaoge, I understand.”
Lu Changsheng knew she was concerned about him, so he held her delicate hand and responded seriously.
He expressed that he was aware of this aspect and told Lu Miaoge not to worry..
That night.
When Ling Zixiao and Xu Ruoyin finished setting up the formations and returned busy, they also were somewhat shocked to see the ghost domain in the sky of the Sumeru Cave Heaven.
Especially Xu Ruoyin, who became increasingly certain that Lu Changsheng was not a good person.
“Is this a Golden Core domain?”
“No, this is not an ordinary domain.”
Hong Lian in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman also saw this scene and noticed something was off.
She carefully observed and immediately saw the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld inside, realizing that this ghost domain was several times more powerful than an ordinary Golden Core domain.
It could even affect Golden Core cultivators to some extent.
“This is some kind of corpse puppet that has transformed all its mystical powers and spiritual energy into a domain, extremely powerful, enough to deal with cultivators of the same level.”
“Young Master is only at Foundation Establishment level, how can he control such a corpse puppet!”
The more Hong Lian looked, the more shocked she became, not knowing how Lu Changsheng could control such a corpse puppet.
Because corpse puppets were different from spirit beasts and spiritual pets.
Spirit beasts had intelligence and could be slowly nurtured and tamed from a young age to recognize a master.
But things like corpse puppets, ninety-nine percent of them had no intelligence, only instinctive consciousness.
They could only be controlled through various restrictive methods, and basically wouldn’t be loyal to a master.
Moreover, the more powerful and bizarre the corpse puppet, the more this was the case. It was already good if it didn’t turn on its master, let alone trying to control something stronger with something weaker.
So now, seeing the situation with the Ghostly Head from the Netherworld, she was extremely shocked and couldn’t help but make more guesses about Lu Changsheng’s previous life.
Originally, based on her interactions and observations over these years, she thought Lu Changsheng must be the reincarnation of a righteous powerhouse cultivating again.
But now, she believed that Lu Changsheng’s previous life was probably someone who practiced both righteous and demonic cultivation, neither completely good nor evil.
Definitely not purely righteous!
Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t know about Hong Lian’s guesses.
However, Ling Zixiao’s attitude was similar to Lu Miaoge’s: demonic techniquus could be used, but one should be extra careful and cautious.
Regarding this, Lu Changsheng decided that in the future, when he got demonic rewards, he would try to hide them as much as possible.
Otherwise, having a bunch of demonic rewards at home wasn’t really good.
In the Lu Family Mansion.
“Ping’an, how’s your cultivation of the Hundred Refined Body Technique going?”
On this day, Lu Changsheng found his son Lu Ping’an to check on his Hundred Refined Body Technique.
“Father.”
Lu Ping’an immediately spoke up, explaining his current cultivation situation.
“Hmm, not bad.”
After checking, Lu Changsheng roughly knew his son’s level and situation.
The compatibility with the technique was average, and the cultivation speed was also average.
But the advantage was in its stability.
He had been steady and stable throughout, without any major problems.
“Come, consecrate this Magical Treasure and then refine it into your body!”
Lu Changsheng took out Xiahou Wuwo’s black giant axe from his Storage Bag.
Although all three Magical Treasures were low-Tier, this black giant axe was considered the best.
So Lu Changsheng directly gave this one to his eldest son to cultivate.
“Huh? Magical Treasure? Refine into the body!???”
Lu Ping’an was stunned upon hearing this, as if he had misheard.
Then looking at the black giant axe before him, he was completely bewildered, not understanding what was going on.
“This is a Magical Treasure!?”
Lu Ping’an looked at the Magical Treasure before him, very confused.
Previously, when Lu Changsheng gave him a Black Dragon Pearl that was damaged beyond repair, it had already shocked and confused him.
Now he actually took out a Magical Treasure that seemed undamaged, which truly left him at a loss for words.
Weren’t Magical Treasures supposedly only usable by Golden Core cultivators in legends?
As a small Qi Refining cultivator, how could he be worthy of using a Magical Treasure for cultivation?
Moreover, it was already very shocking that his father could produce a damaged Magical Treasure before, how could he now produce an intact Magical Treasure?
“That’s right, this is indeed a Magical Treasure.”
Lu Changsheng, seeing his son’s bewildered look, as if he had never seen the world, explained, “Your father, well, had a bit of a small fortune and happened to obtain a few Magical Treasures.”
“Now that you’ve entered the basics of the Hundred Refined Body Technique, you can try to consecrate this Magical Treasure and refine it into your body.”
“This way, your Hundred Refined Body Technique will also progress rapidly.”
Lu Changsheng said.
“A bit of a small fortune? Happened to obtain a few Magical Treasures?”
Lu Ping’an was very confused, extremely confused.
He was no longer the youth who only half-understood the cultivation world.
He clearly knew what a Magical Treasure represented.
But now, in his father’s words, it was actually just a bit of a small fortune?
Then what would be a big fortune?
“Father, isn’t this too wasteful?”
Lu Ping’an came to his senses, scratching his head and said.
He felt that selling such a Magical Treasure and exchanging it for Spirit Stones and spiritual materials would obviously be more valuable.
“Just cultivate when I tell you to cultivate, why so much nonsense.”
“Didn’t you always want to go out and experience the world? Once you refine this Magical Treasure into your body and master the ‘Treasure Bone Technique’ to nurture treasure bones, your father will let you go out.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
Although Lu Ping’an had a Fifth-Tier Spirit Root, due to starting cultivation late, being sent to the mortal world in his childhood, not having pills to build his foundation, and practicing both techniques and body cultivation, his cultivation speed was average.
His current cultivation level was still at the fifth layer of Qi Refining.
But Lu Changsheng knew that this son also had a heart to go out.
Or rather, this son of his might still be thinking about that little girl from before.
Regarding his son being devoted to a single love, Lu Changsheng didn’t know how to evaluate it, he could only let him be.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Ping’an grinned and said, picking up the black giant axe to examine it, trying to infuse spiritual power into it.
But the spiritual power in his body entering the Magical Treasure was like a bucket of water poured into the sea, without any reaction at all.
However, through the Hundred Refined Body Technique, he could confirm that this was indeed a Magical Treasure!
“Father, I feel it would be better to sell this Magical Treasure, using it for cultivation seems a bit wasteful.”
Lu Ping’an looked at such a Magical Treasure, hesitantly said.
He felt that his father truly favored him too much.
First giving him a Spirit Root, and now giving a Magical Treasure for cultivation, it really made him feel heavy-hearted.
He thought it would be better to sell the Magical Treasure and exchange it for cultivation resources to distribute to the family.
“Ping’an, you must know, the innocent suffer for possessing treasure.”
“For treasures like Magical Treasures, once sold externally, it will bring trouble to our family.”
“So the best way to handle it is to use it for cultivation, to realize its value.”
Lu Changsheng felt both helpless and somewhat pleased with his son’s words.
He continued, “Moreover, you using this Magical Treasure to enhance your strength can benefit the family in the future, so there’s no waste at all.”
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Ping’an pursed his lips and said solemnly.
A heavy sense of responsibility weighed in his heart.
“Alright, start the consecration. Your father will watch your situation here.”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Mm.”
Lu Ping’an nodded, surging his mind and spiritual power, like an invisible fire, beginning to consecrate the black giant axe before him.
Lu Changsheng observed from the side.
Only after confirming that his son’s method of consecration had no problems did he let him consecrate on his own every day.
After the consecration was complete, when it was time to refine it into the body, he should be notified again.
After giving a Magical Treasure to Lu Ping’an to cultivate the Hundred Refined Body Technique, Lu Changsheng considered the allocation of the remaining two Magical Treasures and the Magical Treasure embryo.
Thinking of his daughter Lu Wangshu’s talent and comprehension, Lu Changsheng decided to let this daughter try to practice the Hundred Refined Body Technique alongside her main cultivation.
After all, as long as one could comprehend the Hundred Refined Body Technique, with the aid of a Magical Treasure refined into the body, one wouldn’t need to spend time on it daily and wouldn’t interfere with regular cultivation.
Then Lu Changsheng found his daughter Lu Wangshu, who was fishing.
This daughter, after experiencing the medicinal bath purification and breaking through to the second layer of Qi Refining, could now go fishing on her own.
Although she couldn’t fly yet, she could ride the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle to go fishing.
This made Lu Changsheng somewhat regret why he had given the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle to his daughter in the first place.
However, arriving at Bishui Lake, Lu Changsheng saw that his daughter was actually practicing Talisman Making while fishing, which made him feel very pleased.
“Daddy.”
Lu Wangshu wasn’t formally making talismans, but practicing with ordinary paper and ink.
Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, she immediately called out obediently.
“Wangshu, how long have you been fishing today?”
Lu Changsheng came to the side and asked gently.
“Daddy, I just came a while ago.”
“And I feel that practicing Talisman Making while fishing gives me a better feeling.”
Lu Wangshu said with an obedient and cute expression.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng was not at all deceived by her obedient and cute appearance.
After all, he knew what his little cotton-padded jacket, raised for so many years, was like.
He said, “Wangshu, Daddy has something good for you, do you want it?”
“Oh? Something good? What is it, Daddy?”
Lu Wangshu, hearing this, immediately became interested.
Her appearance was similar to her mother Xiao Xiyue, with a delicate oval face, a white and full forehead, curved eyebrows, and a pair of bright big eyes that seemed to have a kind of spiritual light, beautiful and lively.
“Come with Daddy.”
Lu Changsheng picked up his daughter and brought her back to the Lu Family Mansion.
Then he took out the purple thunder pearl and said that he had a cultivation technique.
Once mastered, one would have immense strength, with a physical body comparable to Artifacts or spiritual tools.
Moreover, once the basics were mastered, one could use this purple pearl Magical Treasure to assist in cultivation, without needing to practice hard on their own.
“Daddy, I want to practice, I want to practice!”
Lu Wangshu, hearing this, immediately shouted excitedly.
After experiencing the medicinal bath purification, she had tasted the joy of having great physical strength and was very interested in this kind of body cultivation.
Especially after learning that she didn’t need to spend time practicing hard herself and could cultivate automatically, she was even more interested.
Seeing his daughter’s interest, the rest was naturally easy to say.
Lu Changsheng began to teach his daughter the Hundred Refined Body Technique.
An hour later.
“Daddy, I’ve already memorized it.”
Lu Wangshu said in a crisp voice.
“Good, since that’s the case, you can start cultivating. Daddy will watch you from the side.”
Lu Changsheng smiled gently.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Changsheng saw his daughter Lu Wangshu gradually enter the state.
“Tsk.”
Seeing his daughter’s speed, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of his son Lu Ping’an.
He remembered that it took his son a whole day to enter the state.
Then it took three or four days to barely enter the basics, and even then, the cultivation was bumpy.
“Indeed, the difference between people is sometimes greater than that between humans and magical beasts.”
Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.
He gained a further understanding of this daughter’s talent and comprehension.
So he quietly watched his daughter’s cultivation.
When she had cultivated enough, he took out a gold essence stone for her to try absorbing the essence of materials.
This step only took Lu Wangshu half a day.
In three days, Lu Wangshu had fully mastered the basics.
And she had already understood ‘Refining Treasure into Body’ and could try to consecrate Magical Treasures.
It’s just that his daughter’s current mental and spiritual power couldn’t move a Magical Treasure at all, at least not until she reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Faced with this situation, Lu Wangshu suddenly had more motivation for daily cultivation.
Before, she had been somewhat perfunctory about daily cultivation.
After all, children at this age are playful, and Lu Changsheng couldn’t say too much.
Seeing that his daughter was now diligent in cultivation because of this matter, he was also happy to let it be.
After teaching his daughter, he also tried to teach his sons Lu Yun, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Qingxian to cultivate the Hundred Refined Body Technique.
But these three sons were all unsatisfactory, cultivating with difficulty, not very suitable.
Faced with this, Lu Changsheng didn’t force them.
He knew that daughters like Lu Wangshu were rare, and he still needed to find children with talent for body cultivation.
Then, Lu Changsheng found a daughter named Lu Qingyan through the system.
This daughter was the daughter of his concubine Jiang Louyue.
With a Sixth-Tier Spirit Root and 41% body cultivation talent, she had just completed Qi initiation.
For this daughter, Lu Changsheng didn’t teach her immediately, he still wanted to observe her personality.
After all, cultivating the Hundred Refined Body Technique absolutely cannot be like most body cultivation techniques, too bold and aggressive, and she was still young, only twelve years old.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
During this time, Lu Changsheng spent most of his time accompanying his wives and children, paying attention to the cultivation situations of the children in the family.
On this day, Lu Changsheng received a letter from Xiao Xiyue.
In the letter, Xiao Xiyue stated that the Azure Cloud Sect had discovered Xiahou Wuwo’s whereabouts.
He had destroyed several forces and might come to the Qingyun Region.
If he came to the Qingyun Region, he would likely take action against Bihu Mountain because of Xiahou Wuxu’s matter from years ago.
Although she knew that Bihu Mountain had the Sumeru Tree King presiding, Xiao Xiyue still wrote a letter to tell Lu Changsheng to be extra careful and cautious.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the letter, feeling warmth in his heart.
Through Xiahou Wuwo’s memory fragments, he knew Xiahou Wuwo first caused trouble in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, in the Spirit Control Sect’s territory.
The last place he appeared was at the border between the Azure Cloud Sect and Spirit Control Sect.
But this information had a delay, so Xiao Xiyue only received the news now.
This was part of Xiahou Wuwo’s plan, done on purpose.
After causing a commotion in these places, he directly came to Bihu Mountain.
Xiahou Wuwo knew Bihu Mountain wasn’t far from the Azure Cloud Sect, deep in Qingyun Region.
Once discovered by the Azure Cloud Sect, they’d send people to hunt him down, which was very dangerous.
Lu Changsheng replied to Xiao Xiyue, saying he’d be careful.
He didn’t mention that Xiahou Wuwo had already died on Bihu Mountain.
Although this type of message was very private and wouldn’t leak, the letter would self-destruct if someone tried to read it.
But the cultivation world had many methods, and the message might be intercepted somehow.
Half a month later.
The Ghostly Head from the Netherworld finally succeeded in turning the Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave.
Without the Sumeru Tree King’s suppression, the Ghostly Head couldn’t have refined the Mystical Evil Corpse into a ghost slave with its current strength.
After completing the refinement, Lu Changsheng put the Ghostly Head into the ‘Yin Corpse Bag’ specially made for refined corpses.
Lu Changsheng learned this from Xiahou Wuwo’s memories of corpse refining techniques.
Most refined corpses need to be nurtured in yin veins, turbid qi, or corpse refining grounds.
Only then can refined corpses slowly grow and increase their power.
If left outside for long, absorbing too much world spirit qi, not only would the refined corpse not grow, it might even regress.
This Yin Corpse Bag, also obtained from Xiahou Wuwo, was quite a treasure.
Ordinary first and Second-Tier refined corpses could improve inside it.
For Third-Tier refined corpses like the Mystical Evil Corpse and Ghostly Head, it didn’t have much effect.
It could only ensure the refined corpses wouldn’t regress.
If greatly consumed or somewhat damaged, they could slowly recover in the Yin Corpse Bag.
But to improve and grow, besides burying them in Third-Tier corpse nurturing grounds, they needed to be fed with flesh and blood and re-refined.
“Husband, it’s a letter from Immortal Zhao.”
That day, Lu Miaoyun said Zhao Qingqing ad sent a letter.
Lu Changsheng opened the letter to read.
Zhao Qingqing said she’d successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment and invited Lu Changsheng to Azure Cloud Sect for a small celebration.
“She successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the letter in his hand and chuckled softly.
He wasn’t surprised about Zhao Qingqing’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
After all, with her Spirit Root talent and preparation, the chances of breakthrough were quite high.
He then decided to visit Azure Cloud Sect later for this small celebration.
Not only could he catch up with an old friend, but he could also see Xiao Xiyue and meet the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect.
