The Quest for Immortality

Based on the ”Vegetarian Corpses,” supplemented with specific Corpse Dao Skills, special human blood, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures infused with Evil Qi, different ”varieties” of corpses can be refined.

The specific variety of zombie that can be refined depends not only on the grade of the Vegetarian Corpses and the spell point for Corpse Refinement but also involves a certain amount of luck.

First Grade Vegetarian Corpses are almost always refined into ”Walking Corpses.”

Second Grade Vegetarian Corpses mostly yield ”Walking Corpses,” with a very small portion becoming ”Iron Corpses,” and an extremely rare chance of producing a ”Copper Corpse.”

Third Grade Vegetarian Corpses still mostly result in ”Walking Corpses,” but the probability of ”Iron Corpses” and ”Copper Corpses” increases. There is an extremely rare chance of a ”Silver Corpse” and an exceedingly rare chance of a ”Golden Corpse” appearing...

...

The rarer the variety of zombie, the tougher the flesh, and the stronger the power. Sometimes, they can even cross the rank to battle.

Of course, nurturing such rare varieties of zombies requires immeasurable effort and luck.

For corpse cultivators, successfully raising a ”Golden Corpse,” or even a ”Silver Corpse,” is often considered the pursuit of a lifetime.

For most corpse cultivators below the Golden Core, raising a ”Copper Corpse” is already something of a luxury.

Mo Hua recalled a little.

In the Blood Sacrifice Array, he encountered the Feather Transformation Demon Head of the Yin Corpse Valley, who raised an extremely fearsome Golden Corpse.

What Young Master Shi raised was a ”gold-plated” Copper Corpse, but strictly speaking, it should also be classified as a Copper Corpse.

Previously, when being hunted, the four Golden Core Elders of Yin Corpse Valley only raised Copper Corpses.

Apart from this, most corpse cultivators only manage to raise Walking Corpses and Iron Corpses.

Those with Copper Corpses are already very few, let alone Silver Corpses and Golden Corpses above them.

This shows that ”Corpse Refinement” is indeed not easy, and refining a rare variety of zombie is even more challenging.

For corpse cultivators wanting to create a good corpse, besides having excellent Corpse Dao Skills, the only option is typically to kill more people and rely on luck.

The larger the base number and the more Vegetarian Corpses, the higher the probability of refining a rare variety of zombie.

Besides the standard classifications of ”Walking Corpses, Iron Corpses, Copper Corpses, Yin Corpses, and Golden Corpses,” there are some more unorthodox and rarer ”Strange Zombies” known as ”Mysterious Corpses.”

The realms of heaven and earth are infinite, and the transformations are diverse.

Zombies are no exception; there are always some wonderful variants that ordinary people find hard to fathom.

Mysterious Corpses are like this.

In Elder Xu’s ”Mysterious Corpse Treasure Manual,” many rare zombie varieties are recorded, which ordinary cultivators and even old corpse cultivators versed in the Corpse Path for hundreds or thousands of years rarely see.

Mo Hua had never heard of them before.

Such as ”Earth Store Corpse,” ”Beauty Corpse,” ”Drought Demon Corpse,” ”Flying Zombie,” and so on.

The ”Earth Store Corpse” is said to be a corpse endowed with the Taoist Meaning of Ksitigarbha, possessing the ability to listen carefully, perceive appearances, discern truth from falsehood, trace trails, and know what ordinary people cannot.

Mo Hua vaguely guessed that Elder Xu had raised an Earth Store Corpse, which is how he caught up to him.

But now that Elder Xu is dead, who knows where the Earth Store Corpse has gone...

The ”Beauty Corpse” refers to a beautiful woman being killed without damaging her flesh, sealing her most beautiful moment in life, and then refining her into a zombie. This Beauty Corpse is also considered a type of ”Mannequin.”

The ”Drought Demon Corpse” involves setting a great fire, burning a large number of cultivators to death. Subsequently, among the bodies burned by the fire, some will, by chance, and human grievances, nurture a ”Drought Demon.”

Wherever a Drought Demon appears, a thousand miles turn red.

This is a category of Mysterious Corpse that is akin to a ”Heavenly Calamity.”

The ”Flying Zombie” is said to be a Feather Transformation level zombie that can soar above and escape below. Upon being refined, it transcends the Three Realms and exists outside the Five Elements.

...

These various Mysterious Corpses, whether eerie, fierce, mysterious, or powerful, left Mo Hua feeling quite shocked.

However, the ”Treasure Manual” only briefly mentions most Mysterious Corpses.

It talks about the creation and nature of Mysterious Corpses but does not include specific ”Corpse Refinement” techniques.

Mo Hua found this strange, but upon further thought, he understood.

Since they are ”Mysterious Corpses,” they are mostly products of extraordinary transformations of heaven and earth, not something that can be easily created by human means.

Of course, it is also possible that the methods to refine these Mysterious Corpses are the ”secrets of secrets” in Yin Corpse Valley, comparable to sect ”Forbidden Techniques,” and not easily passed on. Even Elder Xu might have been unqualified to know.

Recording the names of these ”Mysterious Corpses” in Elder Xu’s ”Mysterious Corpse Treasure Manual” already counts as an extremely precious inheritance.

And this treasure manual indeed broadened Mo Hua’s horizons and taught him a lot.

He couldn’t help but flip through it further, and upon reaching the third-to-last page, he suddenly paused.

This page was smeared over by someone.

The words and ink were merged as one, making it impossible to read any character.

Mo Hua, resting his chin with a contemplative look, thought, ”What does this mean? They didn’t want others to know? So they smeared out the writing?”

Curious, Mo Hua pondered for a moment and decided to see if he could restore it to find out what this page recorded.

However, after several attempts, he realized it was impossible.

The ink used to obscure the text was special, mixed with the blood of some type of Monster Beasts, along with the blood of people with unique Spiritual Roots, making it very viscous and fused with the parchment, making it inseparable.

It was clear that someone had gone to great lengths to erase this record.

Was it Elder Xu? Or someone else?

Mo Hua did not understand, but he wanted to find out the truth.

There must be some secret involved, and if it concerns someone on the level of Uncle, he would certainly feign ignorance and wouldn’t dare to probe even a little.
