Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Wan Yi didn't delay any longer and took out a complete corpse from the Yin Corpse Bag.

He bought this from the morgue; it wasn't very good, but it was perfect for practicing.

Wan Yi carefully buried the corpse in the ground, then took out various materials for refining the corpse from his storage bag. Following the techniques recorded in the "Great Method of Raising Corpses and Refining Puppets," he integrated the materials one by one into the corpse in the ground.

It was Wan Yi's first time creating a puppet, so he was inevitably a bit flustered. He finally managed to process the first corpse, and he was covered in sweat and had also depleted a lot of his magic power.

After resting for a while, Wan Yi took out the second corpse and carefully buried it in the ground following the same steps, then integrated the materials one by one.

This time, he was much more skilled and his movements were much faster.

The operation was completed in no time.

Only then did Wan Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

Okay, it's finally done.

The results should be available in two or three months at most.

Unlike alchemy and weapon crafting, the success rate of cultivating corpse puppets is very high. Basically, as long as there are enough materials, it can be successfully cultivated.

Wan Yi bought two sets of corpse-refining materials in advance.

One set of corpse refining materials costs about 30 contribution points, so two sets would cost 60 contribution points.

When he initially purchased the resources, he only contributed 200 contribution points.

Aside from the tiger demon blood used to hatch the Tiger Poison Gu, and the pills and spiritual food he needed for his own cultivation, the remaining contribution points were only enough to buy these two sets of materials.

Wan Yi touched his storage bag, and his face darkened again.

Speaking of pills and spiritual food, he doesn't have much left. At most, it can only last until he breaks through to the middle stage of the embryonic breathing stage.

After the breakthrough, I will need to replenish my cultivation resources.

Wan Yi only has 1422 contribution points left, and he still has loans to repay, which is really worrying.

However, having just killed the Xiong brothers, they must have a lot of good stuff on them.

We need to check their storage bags quickly; they might be able to solve our immediate problem!

Thinking of this, Wan Yi instantly perked up and quickly took out Xiong Bi and Xiong Fu's storage bags from his pocket.

The two had long since died, and the storage bag was now unclaimed. It could be refined with just a little consecration.

Wan Yi searched through the items.

Aside from some pills, materials, and talismans, only three low-grade magic artifacts were found in total.

Clouds surge in the bottle, mountains rise in the cauldron, and swallows fly in the net.

Among them, the Cloud Surge Bottle and the Mountain Cauldron were found in Xiong Bi's storage bag, and both are magic treasures of the Ji Earth lineage.

The former can generate layers of clouds and mist, concealing its form.

It's very useful whether you're launching a surprise attack or trying to conceal yourself while running away.

The latter is an offensive weapon, quite powerful when used to smash people.

In terms of offensive power alone, it is even stronger than the Kunyuan Blade.

It's too heavy and not flexible enough, making it quite difficult to hit an enemy.

The Flying Swallow Net was found in Xiong Fu's storage bag.

Like the Divine Wood Mirror, it is a magical artifact made of the Wood element, but it is used to capture people.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into Wan Yi's mind.

Xiong Fu possesses two Yi Wood magical artifacts, the Divine Wood Mirror and the Flying Swallow Net, suggesting he is a cultivator from the Yi Wood lineage.

That person is definitely not a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Hall.

After all, the disciples of the Corpse Puppet Hall all cultivate the Earth element.

He should be a disciple of one of the three lineages: the Heavenly Talisman Hall, the Array Formation Hall, or the Demon Taming Hall.

Because these three lineages of disciples do not have strict requirements for the path of cultivation.

Considering that Xiong Fu is a supporting character in "The Immortal Path of the Array", he should be a disciple of the Array Hall.

No wonder he set up an ambush for himself; it turns out it was a perfect match for his expertise.

To verify his guess, Wan Yi searched through Xiong Fu's storage bag again and found several array flags.

These array flags are mainly used for setting up formations; they are not even considered low-grade magic artifacts, but rather basic magic artifacts that do not meet any grade.

It's not very useful for cultivators who don't understand formations.

Apart from that, the two of them only had some books, jade tablets, clothes and other miscellaneous items in their storage bags.

Wan Yi casually flipped through those classic texts.

The books in Xiong Bi's possession were mostly related to cultivation knowledge.

There is only one cultivation manual and three spell manuals.

Without even looking at it, one could tell that the cultivation technique was the "Great Method of Raising Corpses and Refining Puppets," which was standard equipment for disciples of the Corpse Puppet Hall, and it was exactly the same as the one Wan Yi cultivated.

Those three spellbooks were all low-grade spellbooks.

One of them is the "Earth Escape Technique," which was the technique Xiong Bi used to escape.

The books in Xiong Fu's hands, apart from some books related to cultivation knowledge, only contained a few cultivation techniques and spells of the Yi Wood lineage, all of which were of low grade and not worth paying attention to.

Wan Yi flipped through it, but then lost interest.

The grade is too low and it doesn't align with the path of cultivation, so the cost-effectiveness of cultivation is not high.

But at that moment, a blue-covered book caught his attention.

Wan Yi picked up the book, opened it, and found it to be "Detailed Explanation of the Dao of Formations".

It turns out that this is a standard array manual in the Array Training Hall, which contains basic array knowledge and is somewhat useful.

But after reading just a few pages, Wan Yi felt dizzy.

The art of array formation is one of the most difficult to master among all the arts of cultivation.

I'm not feeling well right now, so I can't afford to get distracted by studying array formations; otherwise, I'll end up biting off more than I can chew.

Wan Yi then looked at the pills and picked out only the ones he recognized.

Those unknown species are not to be eaten casually.

Otherwise, if someone mistakenly swallows poison as a pill to increase their cultivation level, they could die instantly.

However, Wan Yi did not throw away those unknown pills. Instead, he planned to buy a book about pills another day to find out what these pills were.

Wan Yi then picked up the disciple jade tablets of the two men, infused them with a trace of magic power, and the contribution amount was instantly displayed on the jade tablets.

Upon closer inspection, his face lit up with joy.

The two of them together contributed a total of 431 points.

Wan Yi naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He lightly tapped the jade tablet with his finger, transferring all the contributions inside to his own jade tablet.

This is how he made his contribution in 1853.

That's enough to buy some more pills and spiritual food for cultivation.

After doing all this, Wan Yi looked at the three magical artifacts outside the storage bag.

These were the array plate, mask, and sacred wood mirror that they had picked up from Xiong Fu, as well as the Yin Corpse Bag that they had taken from Xiong Bi.

Wan Yi picked up the array plate and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't understand the array patterns on it.

Suddenly, he remembered the "Detailed Explanation of Formation Techniques" in Xiong Fu's storage bag and quickly took it out to search for it.

After searching for a long time, I finally found relevant information.

It turns out that this formation is called the Mountain Suppression and Sealing Formation, a low-grade formation specifically designed to trap enemies.

Unlike array formations set up on-site using array flags, this array plate has the array formation inscribed in advance. When using it, you only need to activate your magic power to start it.

Even if you don't understand formations, you can still use it. It's a godsend for lazy people!

However, without understanding formations, one cannot adjust formations according to changes in the battle situation; what is used is merely a fixed formation, which becomes useless once the enemy breaks it.

Only then did Wan Yi realize why Xiong Fu had only activated the Divine Wood Mirror and hadn't used the Flying Swallow Net to capture him.

It turns out that activating this array plate consumed too much of their magical power.

Indeed, the array plate consumes more mana than ordinary magical artifacts.

Although spirit stones could be used to replace mana consumption, Xiong Fu was a poor man and couldn't afford to consume spirit stones, so he could only rely on mana to barely survive.

As for the mask, it is called the Formless Mask, a low-grade magic artifact that can change one's appearance and is not afraid of being spied on by spiritual consciousness.

Even for Qi Refining cultivators, unless their cultivation level is higher than the user's, their divine sense will find it difficult to penetrate.

It's actually a great tool for disguising one's identity.

The Divine Wood Mirror is also a low-grade magic weapon, but it is an offensive magic weapon. The blue light it emits is quite powerful and has a remarkable effect on earth magic weapons.

In the future, when Wan Yi faces disciples of the Corpse Puppet Hall, he will be absolutely invincible by using this magic weapon in internal battles.

However, using the Earth element to activate the Wood element artifact consumes a great deal of energy, making it only suitable for surprise attacks and not for long-term use.

Finally, Wan Yi picked up the corpse bag.
