Chapter 102 The Secret Record of Corpse Refining (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
'Burning incense to attract insects?!'

Zhou Qing was both surprised and delighted as he looked at the description of the Wooden King Cauldron, a divine weapon, in his field of vision.

This divine weapon could even attract poisonous insects, making it an invaluable treasure to him.

Although it is temporarily out of control, the conditions for mastering it clearly state that one must have mastered the art of poison to an unparalleled level.

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Technique: White Cloud Palm Technique]

Progress: Complete (800/800)

The White Cloud Palm Technique is just one step away from completion; it only lacks the subsequent training methods.

Although Wei Sheng and Wei Hongyu are not here, the senior brothers who are at the Tendon Refining level should know the cultivation methods for the next stage. We just need to find them.

He didn't seek it out before because he had many things to cultivate, and the White Cloud Palm Technique wasn't a high priority.

Just like dealing with the Corpse Worm King and enemies like Lin Tianzheng who are stronger than him, using weapons is far better than fighting with bare hands.

Even with boxing gloves, he wouldn't dare to fight head-on.

If a weapon breaks, you can simply replace it.

A hand injury immediately reduces combat effectiveness.

This is the advantage of practicing weapon-based martial arts: a high margin for error.

However, I must now learn the White Cloud Palm Technique.

Once he successfully masters the Wooden King Cauldron, his progress in cultivating poison techniques and raising Gu worms will be rapid.

"You don't need to rush. Since you can refine these Gu worms, it means you have talent. Perhaps after some time, the divine weapon will recognize you."

Seeing Zhou Qing lower his head and remain silent, Yao Xuewei offered words of comfort.

She might not admit it, but after having intimate contact with Zhou Qing, perhaps due to the lingering effects of the lustful poison, she still felt a mix of complex emotions that were hard to explain.

Although they didn't reach the final step, both sides have been frank with each other.

For ordinary people, they are already as close as husband and wife.

Back then, it was also due to an accident that I met Wei Hongyu.
She had only managed to suppress her desires because of her unwavering belief in martial arts.

However, if Zhou Qing couldn't hold back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Thank you, sir, I'm not in a hurry." Zhou Qing came back to his senses and bowed to Yao Xuewei with clasped hands.

"Let's go check out the other parts of the cave first. Maybe Lin Tian is hiding valuables in other rooms."

Zhou Qing stuffed the wooden king cauldron in his hand into the leather bag Gu, followed by the corpse worm Gu king wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

“Alright.” Yao Xuewei nodded and took the lead in walking towards the outside of the inner room.

Zhou Qing followed behind.

Yao Xuewei's long, slender legs, exposed beneath the hem of her robe, were dazzlingly white. Zhou Qing's heart fluttered at the sight, and he couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier.

Even including his previous life, this was the first time he had physical intimacy with a woman.

Or perhaps it was Yao Xuewei, whose looks rivaled Wei Hongyu's and whose figure was even better.

Yao Xuewei had just reached the door when she seemed to want to say something.

She turned her head and noticed Zhou Qing's gaze. Her cheeks immediately burned, and she glared at him fiercely.

"I'll go first." Zhou Qing took three steps at a time and walked out of the inner room.

'It seems the lust curse is still affecting me.'

Zhou Qing recalled his actions just now and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Young people are energetic and, being martial artists, their blood and energy are abundant, so their desires tend to be stronger.

However, since he started practicing internal energy cultivation, he has been able to easily concentrate and remain focused, so I never expected him to be so impulsive now.

According to Lin Tianzheng, although the Five Desires Gu is a one-time use item, its effects seem to be more than one-time use.

That would be a serious problem.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing looked at Yao Xuewei behind him.

She stood there, her face flushed, her shirt open, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin. She was now gently rubbing her legs together.

Zhou Qing looked away and asked with concern, "My lord, how are you?"

"It's nothing. I just suffered a minor injury and my true energy was greatly depleted, so some of the effects of the Lust Gu still remain."

Fortunately, Lin Tianzheng's lust-inducing Gu wasn't too strong, otherwise, the trouble would have been much greater.

Yao Xuewei took a few deep breaths, her chest rising and falling, seemingly calming down a bit.

"That's good." Zhou Qing took out a folded lake-blue silk shirt from the leather bag and handed it to Yao Xuewei.

"Thank you." Yao Xuewei nodded, draped the silk robe over her body, covering the glimpse of her exposed skin.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing walked through the corridor and returned to the hall.

Next, enter the long corridor on the left side of the hall.

At the end of the long corridor is a passageway running north to south.

At first glance, the cave's structure resembles a "├" shape.

There is only one room on the right side of the hall. The passageway on the left side of the hall has several cube-shaped stone chambers carved into the walls.

Depending on their furnishings, some of these secret rooms resemble pharmacies, some resemble training rooms, and some resemble prison cells.

The cabinets in the pharmacy were mostly empty, probably because Lin Tianzheng had used up all the medicinal herbs after he was injured.

In the corner of the training room, there were various wooden stakes, iron stakes, and stone weights used to train strength.

Inside the cell, various instruments of torture were laid out, and there was still blood on the floor.

The prison cells were located at the southern end of the passage.

"This place seems to be a cave dwelling left by someone before me," Zhou Qing thought to himself. This didn't seem like a temporary hiding place that Lin Tianzheng had set up.

Zhou Qing and Yao Xuewei returned the way they came and headed north through the passage.

After passing the pharmacy, the two walked another ten meters or so.

The stone chamber in front of us is about the same size as the inner chamber on the right.

Inside was a wooden shelf with several thread-bound books and several scrolls of paintings on it.

"Finally, something good!"

Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy.

He went into the stone chamber, took down a thread-bound book from the bookshelf, and began to examine it.

Chronicles of Gu Refining

The first book turned out to be a travelogue, and the author was none other than Lin Tianzheng.

Zhou Qing glanced through it briefly; it contained records of some places Lin Tianzheng had traveled to, as well as the poisonous insects and strange beasts he had encountered in those places.

"Who keeps a diary?"

Zhou Qing put the book down, deciding to read it later.

This thing is more valuable than many martial arts techniques.

Then, Zhou Qing picked up a scroll—"The Secret Record of Corpse Refining"

"Iron Corpse, Bronze Corpse, Silver Corpse, Gold Corpse, Fiend Corpse."

Part of the scroll was torn off, and the part about refining the evil corpse was gone.

According to the records above, the four levels of corpse refinement—iron, copper, silver, and gold—correspond to the four stages of martial artists: skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

When the Golden Corpse King reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, it was buried in a naturally formed area of ​​Earthly Fiends, where it absorbed the fiendish energy, fed itself with blood, and eventually evolved into a Fiend Corpse.

The strength of the Fiend Corpse is enough to rival that of a Grand Martial Master in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Unfortunately, the missing part is the key to refining the fiendish corpse.

"So it seems that what Lin Tianzheng released earlier were iron corpses and bronze corpses. Fortunately, there were no silver corpses."

Zhou Qing felt fortunate.

Based on the defensive capabilities of the Iron Corpse and Bronze Corpse, if Lin Tianzheng were to release the Silver Corpse, even if he could defeat it, beheading it would be extremely difficult.

The main issue is weaponry.

To deal with a corpse-refining creature, only beheading can kill it completely.

For a corpse refining creature, a fatal wound like piercing the heart is less damaging than having an arm severed.

If you're unarmed, the only way to kill a zombie is to smash its head.

The head of a reanimated corpse is the hardest part of its body.

That's way too difficult.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of the refined corpses in the Black Wind Mountain Valley. Of the twenty or thirty refined corpses he saw, three or four of them had a bronze luster.

In other words, those are bronze corpses.

As for the remaining dozen or so refined corpses, they were all iron corpses.

“There are thousands of reanimated corpses in the valley.” Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart.

What exactly does the Witch God Cult want to do?
"Ahem." Yao Xuewei coughed lightly.

Zhou Qing snapped out of his daze and saw that she was sweating and looked unwell, so he rolled up the scroll.

"Let's go check out other places first."

"Let's go." Yao Xuewei nodded, seemingly uninterested in these secret manuals.

The two left the stone chamber and continued walking forward. They walked for over a hundred meters, but no new stone chambers were opened in the stone walls on either side.

However, the two soon reached the end of the passage.

At the end is a downward staircase.

"There's another level?"

Zhou Qing was taken aback, and released the Golden Silkworm Gu and Er Qing to scout ahead.

A moment later, Erqing flew back first.

There are many reanimated corpses below.

P.S.: I'll revise it later. Please check it 10 minutes later next time. Correcting typos will take some time.
