Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Inside the training room.

Li Ping slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused for a long time before he finally snapped out of the illusion.

As he expected, the former owner of this Soul Refining Bead was indeed an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage who was skilled in refining corpses, and he had indeed refined a fourth-order silver-winged yaksha!

Even after reaching the fourth level in corpse refining techniques, in order to revive his sister who had been turned into a zombie, he read through all the classic texts and secret methods related to corpse refining in the cultivation world.

Li Ping believes that with this person's innate spiritual root and his talent in corpse refining, if he hadn't gone astray on the path of "reversing Yin and Yang," he might have reached a higher level in the art of corpse refining.

"His sister."

A hint of melancholy flickered in Li Ping's eyes. He couldn't comment on Ye Xu's life's work, but his dedication to reviving his sister deeply moved him.

But the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since he had been turned into a walking corpse and his life force had been extinguished, his attempt to revive his sister naturally failed.

"He's a pitiful person too!"

Li Ping sighed, then looked at the Tree of Inheritance on the first gray island in his sea of ​​consciousness, and was surprised to find that above the branch representing the third-order low-grade formation, a much thicker and longer branch was sticking out.

The text above is faintly visible: [Corpse Refiner: Fourth-Order Low-Grade].

Reflecting on the many new memories flooding his mind, Li Ping seemed lost in thought.

Although Ye Xu's actual corpse refining skills were only at the fourth-level low grade, his knowledge of corpse refining was far more than that level. It was just that his stubborn personality held him back.

If Li Ping could dedicate himself to studying for hundreds of years and digest that knowledge, he might be able to reach a higher level in the art of corpse refining.

Of course, he wouldn't waste time like that.

He wouldn't waste time studying the various arts of cultivation, especially the unorthodox art of corpse refining, and he has no particular interest in corpses anyway.

For cultivators, self-cultivation is fundamental; their time should be spent on improving their own cultivation level.

After all, only by continuously improving one's cultivation can one gain a longer lifespan and climb to a higher realm.

Once you reach a higher level of understanding, many things that once seemed insurmountable can now be solved with ease.

If Li Ping were Ye Xu, he wouldn't be so obsessed with researching the "Reversing Yin and Yang" corpse refining technique; he would focus on improving his own cultivation level.

When the day comes that you will be able to "rule the ages", will you still be afraid of not being able to resurrect your loved ones?

……

Li Ping shook his head slightly, his consciousness returning to itself.

Organizing the corpse refining techniques in his mind, he prepared to refin the two bronze corpses that Wei Yiling had brought back, and then send a wisp of his divine consciousness into each of the two corpses to re-condense his divine soul, which would be equivalent to having two more Core Formation stage fighters.

As for the materials needed for refining... Wei Yiling brought back four liters of extreme Yin energy. She only used three liters to inherit the fourth-level corpse refining technique. Using the remaining one liter of extreme Yin energy, and then buying some common corpse refining materials from the black market, that would be enough.

As he pondered, his gaze fell upon the ground in front of him.

To his surprise, apart from the small wisp of malevolent energy remaining in the jade bottle, something else had appeared out of nowhere where the Soul Refining Pearl had been placed.

It was a round bead, about the size of a fist, and entirely golden in color.

"This is... the natal corpse bead of the zombie clan?" Li Ping searched his memories and quickly recognized the origin of this object. After recognizing it, he was immediately shocked.

According to the corpse-refining inheritance in my mind.

The Life-Born Corpse Bead is unique to fourth-tier zombies, somewhat similar to the Nascent Soul of human cultivators.

The zombie race specializes in physical cultivation, their bodies are as hard as high-level magic weapons, and they possess immense strength. When fighting against cultivators of the same level, they have a great advantage. Their only weakness is their primordial spirit.

Compared to their powerful physical bodies, the zombies' primordial spirits are exceptionally weak.

Wei Yiling and Feng Xishuang dealt with the two bronze corpses by using magic to directly annihilate their primordial spirits.

Once a cultivator reaches the fourth level, a natal corpse pearl will condense inside the zombie's body, and this natal corpse pearl, like a cultivator's nascent soul, can be taken out of the body.

In this way, if danger is encountered, as long as a part of the soul is separated into the natal corpse pearl and the corpse pearl is hidden in a secret place, this weakness can be well concealed.

"Why is the natal corpse bead here? Is it related to that soul-refining bead?" Li Ping glanced at the golden bead with apprehension, his eyes filled with suspicion.

After a moment's thought, with his knowledge, he quickly guessed it.

Besides its use in refining souls, the Soul Refining Bead should also contain a hidden space, and the Natal Corpse Bead is placed in that hidden space.

After he accepted the inheritance and the Tree of Inheritance devoured the Soul Refining Pearl, his natal Corpse Pearl fell out.

"It must have been hidden so well that the fourth-tier zombie deliberately hid it, but unfortunately it was stolen and ended up in my hands." After figuring it out, Li Ping couldn't help but gasp.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been carrying a natal corpse bead with him for so long.

Considering that a portion of the Corpse King's soul still slumbers within his natal bead and is connected to his original body, there might be a fourth-tier Corpse King eyeing him covetously during this time!

"So who was waiting for me outside the city?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Ping got up and cast dozens of sealing spells to seal his natal corpse bead.

Even after doing this, he still felt somewhat unsafe, so he took out a spirit-sealing talisman and wrapped his natal corpse bead in several layers. Then he used a secret technique to remove the strange aura that he suspected had been tainted by.

After all that commotion, the idea of ​​leaving Lingxiao City resurfaced in his mind.

This time, although my spiritual senses were still fluctuating, they were not dangerous enough to pose a threat to my life, unlike before!

"That damn Ye Xu, he's still restless even in death, turning into a zombie and still coming to bother me."

At this point, Li Ping was well aware that this fourth-tier corpse king was most likely the transformation of Ye Xu after his death. Among the many corpse-refining techniques he inherited, there was a technique called "Reincarnation Technique," which could retain the memories of a cultivator after they had been refined into a zombie.

Ye Xu may have set up a method to turn himself into a zombie before he died, and then used this technique to restore his memories of his previous life.

"He doesn't even enter the cycle of reincarnation, is it just to continue researching the 'Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique'? He really is a madman!" Li Ping was extremely shocked by Ye Xu's madness.

"And he even waited for me outside the city! What a treacherous beast!"

Fortunately, he sensed danger with the "Nine Tribulations True Spirit Holy Scripture" and devoured the Soul Refining Pearl through the Tree of Inheritance, discovering the natal corpse pearl hidden within.

Otherwise, if he were to leave Lingxiao City like this, he might unwittingly run into a fourth-tier corpse king.

He might not die thanks to the Bloodwing Escape Technique, but a perilous chase is inevitable.
