Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 130 Refining Qi
Gu Shihan intensified her attack, unleashing the Crimson Lotus Flame in her hand towards the other corpses.

Fortunately, this time the situation was different. The other corpses were quickly reduced to ashes and disappeared into the air under the scorching heat of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Only the original corpse remained lying there unharmed.

"Hanhan, from my observation, this should be a Celestial-level puppet. Presumably, someone injected extremely pure protective qi into its corpse beforehand. If we want to burn this body, we must first find a way to remove this extremely yang qi!"

Gu Shihan nodded gently to indicate that she understood. After thinking for a moment, she quickly reached into her storage bracelet and took out two top-grade Qingling Pills that exuded rich spiritual energy. Without hesitation, she handed one to Xingbai and took the other herself.

Although the two of them had already used runes to isolate themselves from external toxins, it's always better to be safe than sorry, as no one knows exactly how terrifying the unknown toxins are.

Gu Shihan felt a headache coming on and frowned. With her current knowledge and experience, she had no idea how to expel the extreme yang energy from her body.

After all, she had only stepped into this fantastical world of cultivation halfway through, and knew very little about the strange and wonderful things in it.

Just then, Shi Qinghan, having finished healing, emerged from the mustard seed space.

Seeing Gu Shihan's worried expression, he quickly asked with concern, "Girl! What's wrong? What happened? And what is that thing in front of you?"

Gu Shihan quickly pulled out a Qingling Pill from her bosom and handed it to Shi Qinghan, saying urgently, "Brother, quickly take this Qingling Pill. Activate the isolation talisman on your body immediately; we're really in big trouble this time!"

After swallowing the Qingling Pill as instructed, Shi Qinghan activated the isolation talisman as Gu Shihan had suggested.

When he saw the scene before him clearly, he was completely stunned.

The original masked, black-robed man's corpse had now multiplied into two, and the corpse was emitting a nauseating stench.

"What... what's going on? Is this the same corpse from before? How did it become like this?" Shi Qinghan stared wide-eyed at everything in front of him in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.

Gu Shihan sighed helplessly and explained with a bitter face, "Big brother, this is no ordinary corpse. It could be a Celestial-level puppet. Not only is it covered in deadly poison, but this poison is also extremely terrifying. If it is not controlled, it could affect an area of ​​a thousand miles around, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

She rubbed her throbbing forehead again, feeling extremely frustrated.

“Just burn it!” Shi Qinghan said casually, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Big brother, what am I worried about if it can be burned?! The problem is that it can't be burned at all!" Gu Shihan said anxiously, his face full of worry and his brows furrowed.

"It can't be burned? How could this be?" The smile on Shi Qinghan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of confusion and bewilderment.

"Xingbai told me that this corpse contains protective Yang energy, and if this protective energy isn't removed first, there's no way to burn the corpse. But I really don't know how to remove this damned Yang energy!"

"Supreme Yang Qi? Supreme Yang Qi should be refinable, right?! Long Teng mentioned before that Supreme Yang Qi isn't unrefinable. Besides, we both possess fire spiritual roots, so maybe this is a rare opportunity for us?!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Shi Qinghan's eyes as he spoke thoughtfully.

"Refine it? Yes! That's a good idea!" Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, she summoned Yu Tong from her storage bag. Shi Qinghan also quickly summoned Long Teng and said, "Long Teng, you come and refine this Supreme Yang Qi too!"

Xingbai focused intently on unleashing his binding power, and mysterious rays of light burst forth from his little paws, instantly sealing off this space.

Gu Shihan didn't sit idle either. He quickly set up two isolation arrays, and layer upon layer of protective power enveloped the area where they were. Only after doing this did Gu Shihan feel a little relieved.

"Big brother, Yutong, Longteng, let's divide this corpse into four parts and then start refining it separately!" Gu Shihan's eyes were firm as she took the lead in wielding the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in her hand.

The raging flames roared out like a fire dragon, instantly covering the head, neck, and shoulders of the black-robed man. The scorching flames danced and throbbed, trying to refine him.

Seeing this, the others followed Gu Shihan's example, and in an instant, all sorts of dazzling magical lights shone forth.

However, just when they thought everything would go smoothly, an accident occurred.

With a loud "boom," the yang energy that had been hidden within the black-robed man suddenly erupted, instantly forming a huge white energy shield on the surface of the corpse.

This air shield is indestructible, not only preventing the flames from further encroaching, but also making it more difficult for the flames to even get close.

Faced with such a difficult situation, the four of them did not give up easily. They tried to break through the air barrier time and time again, but the results were always disappointing.

No matter how much they increased their firepower or changed their attack methods, they were unable to inflict effective damage on the corpses.

"Hanhan, don't scatter your refining efforts. Focus on attacking one point. If you can make a breakthrough in one place, the subsequent refining work will be much easier!" Xingbai suddenly shouted at the critical moment.

Upon hearing Xingbai's reminder, Gu Shihan's eyes lit up.

"Xingbai, you're so smart!" Yutong couldn't help but praise with a smile.

“Sister, the four of us can take turns refining this corpse. After all, refining this corpse requires a lot of spiritual power and divine sense. If we don’t take turns resting, it will be difficult to continue.” Yu Tong blinked and offered her suggestion with a smile.

“Okay, big brother, you and Long Teng can meditate and rest first, Yu Tong and I will go first.”

"it is good!"

Gu Shihan gathered the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in her palm and manipulated the raging flames to precisely cover a single point.

She was completely focused on controlling the fire, directing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to burn that small spot as if she wanted to melt it completely.

Not to be outdone, Yu Tong parted her lips slightly and unleashed a burst of her natal phoenix fire, which, like a nimble fire dragon, surged in the same direction.

The phoenix fire and the red lotus karmic fire intertwined and echoed each other, launching a fierce attack on that small dot together.
