Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 490 - 474: Rapid Advancement

Chapter 490: Chapter 474: Rapid Advancement

“Useless, this useless piece of trash!” The gray-robed old man’s eyes were red. “Wasting a heap of my treasures, and he couldn’t even hold out! This trash!!”

His eyes shot out a vicious gleam: “To craft my treasure requires someone with unwavering determination.”

He glanced at Shi Hai, who was unconscious, then at Lou Yi, who remained expressionless, and his eyes lit up again.

Lou Yi seemed oblivious, pointing above his head, and asked: “What’s that?”

On the ceiling above, a pitch-black jade bead hung silently, emitting an entrancing glow.

“Considering you’re about to die, the old man will mercifully tell you.

This is the most precious treasure of the entire Qi Yun Villa, called the Calm Sea Pearl.”

“Oh, what does it do?”

“Naturally, it serves as an array…” The old man suddenly fell silent and, pointing at Lou Yi, said: “This boy has some nerve, seize him and give him a good roasting.

The more resentment, the better, but remember, don’t kill him.”

A few burly men heard this and strode towards Lou Yi, smirking as they reached for him.

But then they were horrified to find their hands like they were grasping an iron pillar, unable to move a bit!

Immediately after, a massive recoil force acted upon them.

“Ah!”

The burly men screamed miserably, then one by one were flung into the kiln cave, turning to ashes in the green fire.

“What you’re trying to craft, is it called a Yin Thunder Bead?” Lou Yi said with a smile to the gray-robed old man, revealing bright white teeth that sent a chilling glow through his heart.

Then, he spat out a red light, striking the black bead above his head.

The black bead began to shake violently, and visible array patterns emerged around it.

But under Lou Yi’s mighty flow of Qi, it couldn’t withstand and finally wobbled down into Lou Yi’s hand.

With the black bead’s fall, Lou Yi suddenly felt a load was lifted.

The massive array that previously enveloped the entire Qi Yun Villa suddenly became flawed and could no longer pose a threat to him.

“This Calm Sea Pearl, is it the array core of the Qi Yun Villa’s formation?” said Lou Yi. “If I were outside the villa, I might have been helpless against it.

Unexpectedly, you brought me right beside it, truly even heaven is helping me.”

The gray-robed old man’s eyes showed fear as he tossed several egg-yolk-sized gray spheres at Lou Yi and sprinted toward the exit without thinking twice.

’Boom boom boom!’

Loud explosions sounded, and a large amount of corrosive gray yin aura spread out.

The gray-robed old man ultimately did not escape, but was caught by Lou Yi by the neck, as lifeless as a dead dog.

“You Yellow Springs Sect, despicable and doing all sorts of evil.

One day I shall go to your lair and wipe out all you scum.”

“Spare, spare my life!” the gray-robed old man pleaded tremblingly.

Not to mention he was just at the late stage of Qi Refining, even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator meeting Lou Yi at close range would be helpless.

’Poof!’

Lou Yi pointed his finger at the old man’s Middle Dantian, completely destroying the Qi Vortex within and the meridians around it.

“Tell me, where are the Yin Liquid and Yin Thunder Beads stored?” Lou Yi asked plainly, disregarding the old man’s venomous glare.

“In, in… if I tell you, will you let me go?

Swear a Dao heart oath, then I’ll tell!” Despite having his cultivation wasted, the old man still had a strong desire to survive, struggling to say.

“Noisy.” Lou Yi grew a bit impatient, directly activating his Control Talent and Illusion Talent.

The combination easily revealed the exact location.

Lou Yi’s figure disappeared, leaving behind only a corpse with a broken neck, its eyes wide open in death.

In less than a breath, Lou Yi had arrived at a villa’s underground vault, picking up an inconspicuous silver ring amid various pieces of jewelry.

“Hmm, there’s a defense?”

’Screech!’

An eagle flew from Lou Yi’s mind, diving directly into the silver ring, breaking its once formidable defense.

This was also a new use he discovered for his Divine Sense after advancing to Martial Saint, which could break some Divine Sense restrictions.

Seeing the villa’s grand array showing signs of activation, Lou Yi didn’t linger any longer, swiftly racing out of the villa.

He arrived at a dense forest more than ten miles away.

Lou Yi poured all the items from the ring, his eyes widening suddenly.

“This is a haul, truly a haul this time.”

Before him were jade bottles filled with Yin Liquid, the same specifications as those used by the old man, numbering three to four dozen, with each holding 500 milliliters.

Previously, when he ventured into the Yin Fiend Realm, the task for a group was just to collect a full bottle of Yin Liquid.

The egg-yolk-sized gray Yin Thunder Beads were even more abundant, totaling five to six hundred, if not a thousand!

A single Yin Thunder Bead could threaten an undefended Peak of Qi Cultivation. Thirty to forty could make an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator shudder in fear.

As for these five to six hundred, if used all at once.

The power was beyond what Lou Yi could imagine!

As for the other gold, silver, jewels, and large amounts of artifact refining materials, he couldn’t be bothered to count them.

Lou Yi returned all the Yin Thunder Beads and artifact refining materials to the storage ring, leaving only the Yin Liquid, and put the ring on his left index finger.

At the same time, he opened a bottle of Yin Liquid and began absorbing.

’Boom!’

His Qi within his body began boiling upon contact with the Yin Liquid, forming countless tiny air bubbles.

Lou Yi’s body turned a glowing red from the heat, large amounts of white steam enveloped the entire forest, as if it had just experienced a fog.

Fine gray residue, difficult to discern with the naked eye, continuously expelled from his pores, dissipating into the air.

Meanwhile, Lou Yi’s Qi was refined, strengthened, its hardness rapidly increasing!

The first bottle of Yin Liquid was quickly absorbed, followed by the second bottle, the third…

When all the Yin Liquid was thoroughly absorbed.

Lou Yi’s fingertips emitted a bit of crimson Qi, as clear as crystal, free of any impurities, shimmering like flowing water, bright and dazzling.

It emitted an incredibly sharp aura, such that ordinary cultivators could feel their skin pricking painfully even from a thousand meters away!

The Yin Liquid accumulated for countless years by the Yellow Springs Sect at Qi Yun Villa, were now all benefiting Lou Yi, fully converted into his power.

“The rogue is here!”

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.

The commotion Lou Yi caused in the forest had been too great, attracting pursuing enemies.

Immediately, several sharp sounds cut through the air.

The leader’s aura was immensely powerful, reaching the sky, actually a rare late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!
