Chapter 791: Heavenly Absolute Demon Corpse
The corpse ghoul’s appearance hadn’t changed in the slightest from before. It was still covered in green fur, had only one arm, and its entire body was still tightly wrapped in slender silver chains.
Han Li carefully examined the entire stone house, confirming that everything here was exactly as it had been before, without anything amiss. Only then did he place the jade box he was holding on the ground. He patted one of the spiritual beast pouches at his waist, and immediately a jet of black light shot out from the pouch.
The wailing soul beast, about a foot long, appeared. The moment it emerged, it immediately spotted the corpse ghoul on the stone platform and began to screech chaotically. Without waiting for Han Li’s command, its black light flickered, and its body suddenly grew to a huge size.
Fortunately, the beast was aware of the cramped space here, so it only expanded to about ten feet in size before stopping. However, it stared at the corpse ghoul without blinking, looking eager to attack.
Han Li frowned at this and, moving his spiritual awareness, calmed the wailing soul beast. It then turned its back to Han Li and squatted quietly on the ground, behaving extremely obediently.
“Hmm?”
When Han Li clearly saw the back of the wailing soul beast, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
On the beast’s back, there was a bloody ghostly shadow pattern that had become much clearer than before. The ghostly shadow even began to bulge slightly. Looking at it, one would feel as if the ghostly shadow might come alive at any moment.
This stirred something in Han Li’s heart.
It seemed that after the recent two rounds of scrutiny and devouring, the wailing soul beast was about to undergo some strange changes again.
Han Li felt a mix of surprise and anticipation.
However, now was not the time to carefully study the wailing soul beast. He had released it only to prevent unexpected incidents.
Next, Han Li lightly patted his storage pouch again. A yellow light flashed, and an ancient jade tally appeared in his hand.
Han Li looked at it, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
This item was something he found only after probing the spiritual awareness of the young man in the black robe, taken from the hair bun of the latter’s severed head.
It contained more than a dozen different methods of corpse refining. Most of these methods were forcibly taken by the Yin Luo Sect from other side sects, copied and stored by the young man in the black robe.
This elder of the Yin Luo Sect seemed to have studied corpse refining techniques deeply. He had proposed unique insights on these dozen or so corpse refining methods.
Many of them, if improved as he suggested, could increase the corpse refining power by thirty percent out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, this elder cherished these secrets deeply and never shared them with his fellow disciples. He was focused on refining a few top-grade corpses strong enough to dominate a region, but had never found suitable corpses and thus had never acted on it.
Among the recorded methods was one called the “Heavenly Absolute Demon Corpse,” a top-grade corpse refining method that the young man in the black robe had intended to use.
This method required using various powerful undead that had already attained spiritual awareness. After wiping out their original spiritual awareness, secret arts were applied to refine them, potentially transforming them into Heavenly Doom Demonic Corpses.
Of course, the power of such demon corpses depended on the types of the spiritual undead used and their original cultivation base.
According to the corpse refining method, the corpse ghoul here was one of the best choices. Using such a grade of natural spiritual corpse to refine into a demon corpse would yield a ferocity thirty percent greater than ordinary methods.
Therefore, as soon as Han Li read the corpse refining method on the tally, he immediately thought of the corpse ghoul trapped here.
Such a rare opportunity was naturally not to be missed.
