C123 Refining Black Scorpion Man
After suppressing and sealing the remnant soul, Qin Shaojie's eyes once again revealed a blazing color.
Although this Black Scorpion Man was not of the dragon race, he still possessed the blood of the dragons. In the current world, it was extremely rare. In addition to his powerful body, once he refines it into a real corpse puppet, its power will be very great.
Refining corpse puppets was an ancient secret technique that was rarely seen even in the current sects. After all, in order to refine a corpse puppet, one must not only strengthen its body completely and stimulate the power that remained in it, but they must also leave their own mark on the corpse puppet so that it could be used by them.
Since ancient times, corpse puppets had always been the secret means of those truly big forces, and the powerful corpse puppets refined from them were comparable to some of the most powerful warriors. In addition, they didn't know pain, didn't fear life and death, so once they fought, even warriors of a higher level than corpse puppets didn't dare to underestimate them.
Unfortunately, refining corpse puppets was not a simple matter. The process was extremely complicated. If one was not careful, it was possible to waste a good corpse.
It had to be known that those who could be refined into corpse puppets had to have at least the life and death realm, and only the bodies of those who had reached the life and death realm could barely meet the requirements to be refined. Otherwise, if refined, their corpses would directly turn into ashes, and their efforts would be in vain.
This was also why Qin Shaojie had so much confidence that after this Black Scorpion Man was refined, he would be comparable to a warrior with Earth Origin Stage.
At that time, Qin Shaojie would truly be able to act according to his own thoughts in the Great Yan Dynasty. Qin Shaojie had already had a hunch that he would be in a dangerous situation if he was to get involved with Qin Mai. With the opening of the ancient ruins this time, it would be impossible for him to not have some backup.
As for breaking through to the Three Spiritual Realms, Qin Shaojie would not choose this path in a short amount of time.
His current speed of growth could already be considered to be relatively fast. Although he was not on par with the disciples of the sects, his previous life of cultivation made Qin Shaojie understand that cultivation required one to proceed step by step. If one was unable to even lay a solid foundation, then even raising one's cultivation would not have a direct and crucial effect.
"Hopefully, you, who I have refined, will not disappoint me."
Qin Shaojie took a deep breath but did not rest. Instead, he swallowed a few medicinal pellets in one go and recovered most of his strength and consciousness. In regards to refining puppets, the Qin Shaojie in his previous life had naturally done it quite smoothly as well.
To others, what seemed like a rather complicated process to Qin Shaojie was merely a process. Furthermore, he had already obtained some of the materials used to refine the Black Scaled Flood Dragon's corpse from Wen Ya.
A cluster of flame instantly rose under the change in the seal formed by his hand. The transparent flame was extremely eye-catching in the dark night.
Normally, if this light suddenly appeared in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, it would be extremely dangerous. After all, ordinary magical beasts wouldn't use fire. The most likely reason for such a situation to happen was that the humans would appear in the surroundings.
The tolerance between Heaven and Earth spirits was extremely poor. Humans and the magical beasts, Eternal Rest, were in a state of hostility. Once discovered by a magical beast, it would immediately try to kill the human who had barged into its territory.
But at this time, Qin Shaojie was not worried.
The greatest difference between a demon beast and a human was the division of their bloodline. The more noble and ancient a demon beast's bloodline was, the more suppressive it would be. Even if they died, the oppression from the bloodline from bones and soul was enough to make other demon beasts not dare to act rashly.
The Black Scorpion Man had the blood of a dragon, so as long as he could release its scent, it would be able to suppress the other beasts.
This was also the reason why Qin Shaojie was willing to pay a high price to obtain this corpse. Aside from being able to refine a high level corpse puppet, the most important thing was the dragon bloodline that it possessed. This kind of deterrent effect would greatly reduce the enemy's combat strength during a battle.
Ow ow ow ow!
Sure enough, as the flames ignited, it made the entire canyon turn red. It was especially eye-catching in the dark night. Within a few breaths, a series of whistling sounds spread out from all directions. These sounds were extremely sharp and ear-piercing, directly breaking the silent night sky
Soon after, rumbling sounds could be heard as though the earth was shaking. Everything was as Qin Shaojie had guessed, that this ray of light was enough to attract the beasts.
However, Qin Shaojie still did not seem to have any fluctuations in expression, he sat cross-legged, and under the changes in the hand seals, the cluster of flames was guided slowly towards the Black Scorpion Man's corpse.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
This flame was a bright flame refined from profound strength of heaven and earth, and its temperature was much higher than normal flames. The moment he appeared, Qin Shaojie could also feel the crisp sound of the surrounding air being burnt.
The moment the flames refined by Qin Shaojie's profound energy landed on Black Scorpion Man's body, the temperature suddenly magnified. It had to be known that Black Scorpion Man's corpse was originally as hard as iron. After being tempered together with the flames, the temperature of the surrounding air had become much higher than before. It had only been a few breaths of time.
Seeing that, Qin Shaojie's hand seals flipped even faster, as more and more profound energy was refined by Qin Shaojie into Profound Fire and landed on Black Scorpion Man's corpse.
As more and more profound flames landed on the mountains of Black Scorpion Man, the surrounding air actually started to feel like it was boiling. The scorching temperature did not only manifest on the Black Scorpion Man's body, even this huge boulder had turned bright red, and under the scorching heat, the surrounding lake water started to boil.
However, as the temperature rose, an extremely pressuring and powerful aura fluctuation quietly spread out, and under this aura, Qin Shaojie's hair instantly stood on end. His entire person's breathing accelerated by quite a bit, and a type of pressure made the blood in his body churn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
This smell, was the smell of the Black Scorpion Man when he was alive!
Black Scorpion Man rested in the depths of the ocean all year round, far away from the continent. The aura on his body was different from normal auras, and one could directly feel it. When this aura appeared, it caused all the negative emotions in one's body to stir. This negative emotions would even cause the dark side of one's body to be activated directly. It was said that in the battles between powerful warriors and Black Scorpion Man, they would directly turn into demons and eventually die.
After all, as long as one had a vicious heart and blood on their hands, there would be a lot of negative emotions in one's body. If one was affected by the Black Scorpion Man's Qi, under the situation where they were unable to suppress it, the warrior's reason would gradually erode. Even if they were not suppressed, the appearance of this kind of negative emotion was sufficient to affect all of the warrior's movements.
In a battle between masters, one move was enough to determine life and death.
If anyone else was here, they would not be able to withstand this aura alone. Even though Qin Shaojie's consciousness had recovered quite a bit, under this aura, his pupils still revealed a bit of scarlet, which seemed to be a variation of the devil's, flickering with a little light, then the veins on his body started to bulge out, as he clenched his fists tightly, the Qi in his body started to become disorderly at this moment.
Let alone living, even after death, ordinary people would not be able to tame such an object in the Black Scorpion Man. Not to mention refining it.
Although it was a corpse, the arrogance that came from the bones was enough to refuse or even disobey Qin Shaojie's current actions.
"Hmph. It's only a corpse. Do you really think I can't refine it?"
He fiercely bit off the tip of his own tongue, and directly bit through it. The intense pain caused Qin Shaojie's expression to return to normal once again, and he couldn't care about the blood that leaked out from the corner of his mouth as he flipped his palm once again.
There was no way he would allow any interruption in refining this Blackscale Flood Dragon. After all, the burning in front of him was only the first stage. If he could not even take this step forward, there was no need to mention actually refining it.
The flames were becoming more and more exuberant and it was rising intensely, and Qin Shaojie did not know when he was actually shouting a thousand year old piece of Profound Ice Jade in his mouth. This Profound Ice Jade was obtained from Wen Ya's Lingyun City, and it was able to strengthen the cold attribute within Qin Shaojie's body. At the same time, the Profound Ice Jade's feeling of being frozen was enough to cause the blood in Qin Shaojie's body to freeze slightly, and slow down the churning of his blood.
This was also the only way to prevent the Qi from harming his body.
Of course, if it was any ordinary person holding the Profound Ice Jade in their mouth, they would have immediately become ice sculptures, but Qin Shaojie's Profound Ice Jade was refined, and at that time, Wen Ya was extremely pained and unwilling to part with it.
At this time, the profound fire had completely wrapped Black Scorpion Man's corpse up, and under the raging flames, it looked very strong.
However, if someone were to carefully watch from the beginning, they would easily discover that the place where Qin Shaojie's profound fire fell every time he increased was not a mess.
It looked like they were following some kind of strange trajectory as they dropped these profound flames. Moreover, these profound flames currently seemed to have ignited into an extremely dazzling ball. However, it was also possible to see that the temperature of these profound flames was different due to the different places where they landed on the corpse.
