Chapter 40 Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer
Because the Cultivation speed of the Corpse Demon Secret Art was too astonishing, Practice One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Times a Day—what kind of concept is this?
One practice per minute!
Therefore, as soon as Wang Yu hung it up, he felt a clear difference.
Every minute, a stream of Yin Energy and Corpse Energy suddenly appeared in his body. The Yin Energy merged into his Blood Vessels, causing his body temperature to drop rapidly, and a faint sense of Yin coldness enveloped his body.
The Corpse Energy merged into his bones, making his skin paler and even somewhat emaciated. His fingernails turned black and hard, and his entire temperament transformed towards a orthodox Demonic Cultivator, making him look like no good person at first glance.
Originally, the inch of black hair that had grown from the roots of his hair turned completely white again. This time, it was not due to the influence of Lifespan loss, but a certain transformation performed by the Yin and Corpse Energies.
A large amount of comprehension and Experience related to the Corpse Demon Secret Art flooded into his mind.
The ultimate goal of this Secret Art is to cultivate "Celestial Yin Blood" and "Undead Demon Bone." It is definitely impossible to achieve this with just the incomplete Secret Art, so this is only the preliminary transformation of the first stage.
It allows Wang Yu to possess the copper skin and iron bones of a zombie, and immense strength.
Possessing the innate Yin coldness of Yin ghosts, his Cultivation speed for cold Attribute Cultivation Methods will be accelerated in the future, and the power of using Yin cold Attribute Spells will also skyrocket, and it may even slightly enhance his Divine Sense.
This kind of body transformation Secret Art is quite rare.
If it were a complete Secret Art, its value would be immeasurable! But as just an incomplete Secret Art, the numerous side Effects it brings are destined to make few Cultivators choose to Cultivation it.
Wang Yu valued its special Effect of reconnecting severed limbs.
Moreover, Celestial Yin Blood has a hint of simulating Spirit Root Aptitude, and to some extent, it is also a method to improve his Aptitude. It produces Effects together with the Cold Blood Technique, and there may be a special connection.
After all, both are Yin cold type changes targeting the blood.
Results will be visible in three months!
Wang Yu quickly returned to his Residence, sealed it off, and began a long period of closed-door Cultivation.
......
......
And so.
Outer Sect Life, Year 2, April.
Ninety days passed in a flash. In the Evil God Market Residence, in front of a person-high ice mirror, Wang Yu, who had undergone a great change in appearance, was examining his new appearance.
His eyes were dark green, and the whites of his eyes had turned pure black, making him look somewhat eerie. Two fangs grew out from his upper jaw, exactly like zombie teeth.
His skin color was whiter than a dead person's, and his silver hair was tied up in a high crown, making him look capable and neat. His originally delicate facial features, combined with his eerie pupils, added a bit of evil charm.
These were changes in his facial appearance. The fingernails on his hands and feet became black and sharp, the most obvious transformation.
The strength of his limbs and bones skyrocketed, making him immensely powerful. He could crush a person-high Green Rock with brute force. He had copper skin and iron bones, invulnerable to blades and spears, and impervious to fire and water.
At the same time, Wang Yu discovered that he had become somewhat afraid of light and preferred dark environments. He also developed a sense of bloodlust and a desire to devour those wandering souls and wild ghosts.
These were all side Effects brought about by the [Corpse Demon Secret Art]. To some extent, it was a transformation into a Physique similar to zombies and Yin ghosts, possessing the strengths of both and suffering from the disadvantages of both.
Wang Yu's body temperature even dropped to around 18 or 19 degrees Celsius, and his heartbeat was extremely slow.
His blood had become Yin blood, with black Talisman Crafting particles swimming within it.
His bones had become demon bones, with Corpse Energy penetrating deep into his Bone Marrow, forming a set of incomplete rune seals on his bones.
[Placement Slot 3: Corpse Demon Secret Art (Incomplete Secret Art/Being Completed...)]
"Corpse Demon Secret Art (100/100): Practice One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Times a Day, twenty years to completion."
Wang Yu was deeply surprised, and then suddenly realized.
The twenty years here should refer to the time required to complete it to the Second Rank. There should be subsequent Third Rank and Fourth Tier, corresponding to the Nascent Soul Stage.
With the body transformation completed, according to the description of the Corpse Demon Secret Art, the next step is to use Yin and Corpse Energies to condense a "Yin Blood Pill" in the body. This item is the key to reconnecting severed limbs.
Not only can it eliminate the rejection reaction of foreign bodies, but if he can cultivate three "Yin Blood Pills," he can even achieve limb regeneration. This point requires at least completing it to the Third Rank to achieve.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
While examining his body, Wang Yu made a new discovery—Aptitude change!
The incomplete Celestial Yin Blood and Undead Demon Bone were like endowing him with another Demonic Path Aptitude, resembling a kind of acquired Yin Spirit Root, complementing his initially mutated "Ice Spirit Root."
The Yin ice Attribute mutation was all applied to his Water Spirit Root, which suddenly Increase from an inch in length to nearly four inches in length.
It was already almost the same as Mixed Spirit Root Aptitude. This change made Wang Yu overjoyed. Sacrificing his younger brother's happiness and enduring so many side Effects was all for this change.
After a day of meditation.
Four strands of refined Yin cold Spirit Power appeared in his body. This change meant that his Cultivation speed had doubled again.
Counting the Elixir Effect of the Top-Grade Cold Blood Pill, in at most one hundred and sixty days, or about five and a half months, he would be able to smoothly break through to Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer.
This was a milestone-like transformation in his entire Cultivation career, and its significance was extraordinary.
From today onwards, time seemed to have been put on fast forward.
The changes in Wang Yu's appearance did not attract too much attention. After all, this was the Demonic Path, and there were many strange and inhuman Cultivators. His appearance was still considered normal, just resembling a zombie.
Only the Alchemist Society and Zhao Shang noticed the extraordinary nature of his Secret Art, but they didn't ask too much.
Spirit Stone were earned as usual. Wang Yu was also contacting Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Peak, Seeking a Refined Corpse to make up for the defect of his severed arm.
Although True Lineage Su had promised an arm of a Second Rank Ice Corpse, it was impossible for him to ask Duan Ping. The fact that he hadn't contacted him for so long actually explained some issues.
If it dragged on for a few more years, more changes might occur.
Therefore, Wang Yu first looked for it himself. At the very least, it should be Peak First Tier, and preferably, he could obtain the arm of a Second Rank Refined Corpse.
For Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Celestial Corpse Peak, there should be many Second Rank Refined Corpses that cannot be repaired. Just buying an arm should present many opportunities.
On the other hand, Wang Yu was also Seeking a handy High-Grade Magic Artifact to prepare for leaving the Sect later.
In this way, five and a half months passed in a flash.
Outer Sect Life, Year 2, September. Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, experienced a surge of Aura around his body, and his Spirit Power Cultivation Level reached its peak at the current stage.
A full three hundred strands of Yin cold Spirit Power swirled around him, freezing a layer of frost on the ground.
Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer, achieved!
The original plan of three and a half years only took more than a year to achieve the goal, and the speed could be said to be extremely fast.
As for breaking through to Qi Condensation Sixth Layer, it would be relatively long, requiring condensing a full thousand strands of Spirit Power. At that time, he would encounter the Bottleneck from Mid Qi Condensation Stage to Late Stage.
It would be necessary to refine the thousand strands of Spirit Power for the second time, transforming a thousand into a hundred, using "Strand" as the unit. One hundred strands of Spirit Power is for Qi Condensation Seventh Layer!
Then there would be the final accumulation until reaching the threshold of the third Spirit refinement, transforming Spirit Power into liquid, and advancing to True Essence, which is one of the three gates of Foundation Establishment.
Currently, he needs to accumulate seven hundred strands of Spirit Power to reach Perfection.
According to the current efficiency estimate of the two Placement Slots, it will take 1750 days, nearly five years. This is not slow. If the Top-Grade Cold Blood Pill is included, it will take about three years to break through.
