Chapter 25: Practicing Corpse! Petrification!

  "In the extremely yin dragon vein land, the time is 9 years. The spiritual energy is at its maximum value. How many reward points are needed to cultivate the space?"

  "Ding! As a Reincarnator who has entered the reincarnation space for the first time, side storylines are skipped. 9,000 Reincarnation Reward Points will be collected."

  Qiu Shui calculated his current reward points, learning the secret recipe cost a thousand points, and he still had 17,000 reward points left. If he were to follow the memory of the secret recipe in his mind to refine the corpse, the remaining 17,000 reward points would likely be depleted soon.

  As for last night's dinner, every time the reincarnator returns, the reincarnation space sends each reincarnator 1,000 life points, which can only be exchanged for ordinary food and daily necessities.

  Qiu Shui thought of this and looked up at Xiao Yu with a serious expression: "Xiao Yu, I need your help this time."

  Xiaoyu heard Qiushui's words and knew what she was going to do. With a firm expression, she nodded silently without saying a word.

  "The longest month of exchanging years is Moonlight Grass."

  Just as Qiu had finished speaking, a plant with a body that shone like moonlight appeared in Qiushui's hand, and also deducted one C-level branch storyline from Qiushui. The reward points for the cycle were three thousand.

  When the Moonlight Grass appeared in this house, the air inside the house became slightly colder. Autumn Water felt that her magical powers were not flowing smoothly on her body. Xiao Yu looked at the Moonlight Grass in Autumn Water's hand with a look of infatuation, and also thought that although it was a top-notch material for refining corpses, it was also quite useful for ghost spirits.

  After Qiu took the Moonlight Grass into his spatial ring, he had all the main materials for practicing corpse refinement, and they were all top-quality. The remaining materials needed for corpse refinement cost a total of 2,500 points to exchange.

  "Qiu Shui took out the Qilin Stone from her ring again, looked at the stone in her hand, gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, then roared into space: 'How many reward points are needed to unseal the Qilin Stone?'"

  "500 Reincarnation Reward Points, does the reincarnator confirm the opening of Qilin Stone?"

  "Confirmed."

  Once the Qilin stone is unsealed, the spiritual energy inside the stone will slowly dissipate and it will not absorb external spiritual energy. Therefore, once the Qilin stone is unsealed, this treasure will turn to dust in just a few years.

  But for its own strength, losing some things is still worth it.

  "Exchange Extremely Yin Dragon Vein Land Time for 9 years, Spirit Energy for Maximum Spirit Energy Value..., Cultivation Field."

  After autumn water was determined, the space suddenly became dizzy, and autumn water and small jade appeared in a spiritual place with strong spirit, dark wind, but there were no animals in this place, quiet and eerie.

  Zi Chen and Xiao Yu appeared at the entrance of a tomb, which was an additional requirement when Qiu Shui exchanged for the cultivation space. It was an ancient tomb set up with a gathering yin array, all of which were free. The first time did not charge any fees, and the cultivation space could be used by anyone in the team, as long as it was useful to other team members.

  Xiao Yu's soul body is well-suited for cultivation in this place, while Autumn Water's current state of being only aware of her whole body feeling cold can be seen as the strength of this extremely yin location.

  Qiu Shui quickly entered the ancient tomb with Xiao Yu, a black stone coffin placed in the center of the tomb. Qiu Shui took out various materials from his spatial ring and arranged them on the ground.

  "Xiao Yu, after I lie down in the coffin, arrange these materials according to what I told you."

  Xiao Yu nodded after listening, and suddenly Qiushui seemed to have thought of something. He said to Xiao Yu: "Those two secret books recorded a method of ghost cultivation. I'll tell you now. After I lie in the coffin, you can cultivate here for nine years. The environment here is very beneficial for your cultivation."

  After finishing speaking, Qiū Shuǐ took off the clothes on her body, picked up a brush, dipped it in cinnabar and started drawing the talisman for practicing corpse on her body.

  After a while, Qiū Shuǐ was ready and pushed open the lid of the stone coffin, lay down in it, and at the moment she entered the coffin, she took a deep look at Xiǎo Yù.

  With the Qilin stone in his mouth, and the heart of Ren Lao Tai Ye placed above his own head, this was indeed the heart of a Golden Armor Corpse. Absorbing the energy from the heart would at least allow him to reach the level of a Golden Armor Corpse. However, Qiū Shuǐ's desires were not limited to just reaching that level.

  After everything was ready, Qiū Shuǐ started the Taiyin Lianxing method from the secret book. In an instant, Qiū Shuǐ fell silent, and his heart stopped beating.

  Xiao Yu saw this situation and quickly arranged the things handed over by Qiushui.

  Ka-chunk, ka-chunk! After Xiaoyu finished arranging everything outside, she took a deep look at Qiushui who was lying silently in the stone coffin, then slowly covered it.

  Akua is currently in a state of suspended animation, and within nine days, her soul must perfectly merge with her physical body, or she will truly face death. During these nine days, Akua's body will also slowly absorb the energy from the golden armor on her head to accelerate the fusion of her soul and body.

  Nine days later, when Autumn Water's three souls and seven spirits successfully merge with her physical body, she will become a legendary zombie. If not, nine days later, the zombie will open up a new spiritual intelligence, and Autumn Water herself will be completely annihilated in this world.

  Legendary zombies: After a person dies, the corpse does not rot and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth to form. But initially there is no thought, only interested in flesh and blood. After growing up, they can fight against heavenly gods. Most of the zombie's power comes from the earth, they are a unique species created by the earth. Through cultivation, they can continuously evolve themselves and perfect themselves.

  Generally, after a person dies and becomes an undead, they will slowly open up their spiritual intelligence as their cultivation increases, forming a new spiritual intelligence that has no connection to their life before death. Only in extremely rare cases will the soul of the deceased merge with their physical body to become an undead.

  Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor Xuan had a daughter, "Tian Nu", named "Han Ba". During the war of Zhou, Han Ba fought against Chi You and died. Due to her unique physical constitution, on that night, her corpse absorbed the power of the moonlight, gathered the dead spirits and energy from the battlefield, and was reborn. However, her body underwent a great transformation: her entire body became icy cold, her skin turned pale, her movements stiffened, but her strength increased explosively, and her speed became as fast as lightning, no longer human-like. Thus, in the world, a zombie with pre-mortem intelligence was born - this is the result of the fusion of soul and flesh after death.

  "Thud! Thud!" Nine days later, a strong and powerful heartbeat sounded in this tomb.

  Xiaoyu heard the strong heartbeat and a gust of cold wind flashed by. A blue figure appeared in front of the stone coffin, gazing at it with tearful eyes, muttering to herself: "Autumn Water, you succeeded! You succeeded!"

  In the stone coffin, a corpse that had already died suddenly had a heartbeat, thumping loudly and powerfully. The skin of this corpse slowly turned green, two sharp fangs grew from the corners of its mouth, and the black fingernails on its hands slowly lengthened, shining with a cold light, like a pair of sharp daggers.

  The corners of the mouth contained a Kirin stone, emitting a yellowish-black gas. If you look closely, you'll find that the yellowish-black gas contains a hint of purple. The gas emitted by the Kirin stone was absorbed into the mouth of the corpse without any leakage. This corpse had turned into an undead creature, with a black heart on its head emitting dark energy, and the heart was slowly shrinking. The entire coffin was filled with dark energy, which was being absorbed through the pores of the corpse inside, indicating that the undead body was being strengthened.

  Xiao Yu looked at the yin energy gathering slowly in the entire tomb, and it had already condensed into a fog-like state. This showed that the spiritual energy of this extremely yin place was so abundant that even now, just by breathing, Xiao Yu felt as if her whole body had been washed clean.

  No, I must work hard to cultivate myself in order to help Qiushui in this cycle of survival of the fittest. With that thought, Xiaoyu transformed into a gust of dark wind and drifted towards a small patch of moon-colored grass above the coffin, which was absorbing the yin energy from the tomb at an astonishing rate and releasing waves of moon-colored spiritual energy. After learning that her next task would be a battlefield mission, Xiaoyu's heart was filled with guilt for being unable to help Qiushui.

  One year, two years,... The entire tomb was quiet, and in an instant, nine years had passed.

  Bang! In the center of the ancient tomb, a stone coffin suddenly opened its lid without anyone's presence, and it fell to the ground with a loud noise.

  Ahh...!

  A sound like a dragon and a beast echoed through the ancient tomb, only to see in the stone coffin, a pair of blood-red eyes, pale face, and a beastly howl came out of his mouth.

  A beastly roar suddenly came from the coffin, startling Xiaoyu who was meditating. A gust of dark wind swept through the ancient tomb, and Xiaoyu appeared above the coffin. Her eyes were excitedly fixed on the coffin.

  After letting out a loud roar, Qiū Shuǐ felt much more at ease. When he got up from the coffin, he saw Xiǎo Yù standing beside it, her eyes shining with excitement as she gazed at him.

  "How are you?" At this time, Qiū Shuǐ didn't know what to say, there were many words in her heart that she wanted to say to Xiǎo Yù, but when they reached her lips, they became this ordinary sentence.

  "Wooo!" A flat greeting was met with a warm hug, and Xiaoyu suddenly threw herself into Qiushui's arms. Qiushui didn't know what to say for a moment, and just instinctively held her tightly.

  Xiaoyu wanted to tell Qiushui all the thoughts in her heart for nine years, but when she saw him, her throat couldn't make any sound, and she instinctively rushed into his arms, crying out the thoughts of the past nine years.

  After a brief transformation of space, Qiushui and Xiaoyu returned to their own room, but the two were still tightly wrapped together, without feeling any discomfort with the changes in the outside world.

  After crying, Xiaoyu suddenly thought that she had actually taken the initiative to rush into his arms, and her face turned red like a big apple. Instinctively wanting to leave his arms, but at this moment, a pair of strong hands tightly wrapped around her small waist, making it impossible for her to break free. She could only lower her head in embarrassment and listen to his heartbeat.

  Although her hands were cold as ice, her heart was warm and cozy. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but Xiaoyu's eyes seemed a bit dazed.

  Qiu Shui gazed at the tearful beauty in his arms, his heart filled with gratitude. In their original world, it was impossible for them to be together. Although both of their hearts were full of longing, they were from different realms, and if they forced themselves to be together, it would only bring harm to each other. But now was different; this was the reincarnation space, where anything was possible. Now Qiu Shui's heart was filled with determination - he would never let the tearful beauty in his arms cry again, this was the last time.
