After the explanation, it was time for practice. Ku Daoist guided Yang Xiao from the side, instructing him to perform the operation. As Ku Daoist cut open the crudely sewn abdomen of the Funeral Guanyin, Yang Xiao also cut open the abdomen of the Bone Burning Taoist, removing the organs one by one and placing them on a detached door panel.
In his hand, he held black herbs. These he had brought back from the Esoteric Sect, their quality far superior to the disgusting things in Ku Daoist’s hands.
But then Yang Xiao hit a snag at a crucial point. He needed to chew the herbs with his mouth, then evenly spread them on the organs, and wrap them in Yellow Ritual Paper to be placed back into the corpse.
Yet he truly couldn’t bring himself to do it. After all, these herbs were nurtured using corpses. Yang Xiao was merely pretending to be an Evil Cultivator; he wasn’t a real one, and this sort of thing he truly couldn’t bring himself to do.
He suggested grinding the herbs using utensils, but Ku Daoist flatly refused.
In the end, Yang Xiao decided to just go for it, stuffing the herbs into his mouth and chewing vigorously. An indescribable nauseating flavor exploded in his mouth, and several times he nearly vomited, yet he overcame it with incredible willpower. Learning Corpse Refining, this was a hurdle he couldn’t avoid.
Next, Yang Xiao evenly smeared the chewed herbs onto the organs, wrapped them with Yellow Ritual Paper, and reinserted them into the Bone Burning Taoist’s abdomen, placing them in order. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The next crucial step was using the magic artifact’s ability to try and "influence" this corpse. How it should be influenced, Yang Xiao had no idea.
"You have a Spiritual Magical Artifact, just use that," Ku Daoist reminded.
For a Corpse Refining Envoy, a Spiritual Magical Artifact is ideal, but it’s extremely rare. Often they have to find artifacts with partially similar abilities to substitute, which still work quite well.
Ku Daoist used that Corpse-controlling Bell, which could cast illusions and disturb one’s mind.
As per Ku Daoist’s instruction, Yang Xiao took out the Human Bone Staff, pressed it against the head of the Bone Burning Taoist, and closed his eyes, trying to use the ability to "resonate" with the corpse.
Frankly, Yang Xiao didn’t trust Ku Daoist. He worried the other might take advantage of him letting his guard down while closing his eyes to suddenly act, not to kill him, but possibly to use him as a hostage to bargain with the Patrol Defense Office.
To prevent such a situation, Yang Xiao directly summoned the Mirror Ghost, letting it stand behind him to watch.
Ku Daoist knew Yang Xiao had a puppet with him, and during the fight against the Blood Flesh Immortal, the Mirror Ghost had also acted, leaving a deep impression on those present.
Yang Xiao tried repeatedly as Ku Daoist instructed but never felt a "resonance" with the corpse until...
"Pfft!" Yang Xiao suddenly heard a soft laugh from behind.
When Yang Xiao turned back, however, he saw the Mirror Ghost still standing there obediently, motionless.
This laugh scared Ku Daoist quite a bit. He pointed at the Mirror Ghost, unable to stop himself from widening his eyes, "Did it... did it just laugh? Did it just laugh?"
But Yang Xiao completely ignored him, stepped forward, and directly knocked the Mirror Ghost’s head lightly with dissatisfaction, "Laugh my ass, laugh, if you’re so good, you do it!"
The next second, the Mirror Ghost calmly took the Human Bone Staff, walked towards the corpse, and then pressed the staff against the Bone Burning Taoist’s forehead. Almost immediately, the half-closed eyes of the Bone Burning Taoist sprang open, his murky scattered eye balls revealing a sinister horror.
"It’s not a puppet, it’s... it’s a ghost!" Ku Daoist discovered the truth and couldn’t help but take a few steps back, distancing himself from the Mirror Ghost.
He was quite experienced in the Corpse-controlling Lineage, able to distinguish between a corpse influenced by spiritual power and a real ghost. He never expected Yang Xiao to be able to control a ghost, and... what’s more bizarre, this man and ghost seemed quite familiar, interacting like father and son, Yang Xiao even playfully flicked the ghost’s head earlier.
Ku Daoist couldn’t understand at all how a person and a ghost could achieve such a relationship.
Yang Xiao also hadn’t expected the Mirror Ghost to learn so easily. Indeed, a ghost has a natural advantage over people when wielding magical artifacts.
"Ku Daoist, what should we do next?" Yang Xiao questioned. freeweɓnovel.cøm
After a moment, Ku Daoist snapped back to reality and quickly recounted the previous procedures, and under Yang Xiao’s command, the Mirror Ghost’s actions became more skilled, eventually matching Ku Daoist.
Shortly afterward, a horrifying scene unfolded: The Bone Burning Taoist not only opened his eyes, but his limbs also started moving, and finally, following the Mirror Ghost’s swing of the Human Bone Staff, the Bone Burning Taoist’s corpse directly sat up.
At this moment, Yang Xiao took back the Human Bone Staff from the Mirror Ghost. As soon as the staff was in his hand, Yang Xiao instantly established a connection with the Bone Burning Taoist puppet, and under Yang Xiao’s control, the corpse was able to stand and walk, though the movements were still less fluid.
For now, fighting with it was still impossible, but Yang Xiao could feel it – the puppet was gradually "perfecting," and he believed there would be surprises after some time.
Ku Daoist’s beliefs crumbled completely at this moment; he witnessed too many impossibilities today. He realized it wasn’t entirely the ghost’s doing, but rather that peculiar stick, a supreme treasure!
"Where did you get this item from?" Ku Daoist stared intently at the Human Bone Staff in Yang Xiao’s hand.
"You mean this little thing? Family gave it," Yang Xiao weighed the Human Bone Staff in his hands, showing a disdainful look, as if he had plenty of similar items.
"I’ll compete with you rich second generations!" Ku Daoist was so envious he could burst, but these words could only remain in his mind.
Now he was even more baffled by Yang Xiao’s background. However, one thing was certain: he was a terrifying person, with a background as deep as frightening, far scarier than Overlord Spear Wu Qingcang.
"Netherworld Emperor Captain has extraordinary talent, limitless future achievements," Ku Daoist couldn’t help but say, "Countless sects in the martial arts world practice Corpse Refining and Corpse Control, but only two can be called the strongest. One is my Taoist Sect Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the other is Bone Painting Tower, which ranks among the Ten Great Sects."
"My Dragon Tiger Mountain is orthodox, but unfortunately, this skill requires extremely high talent; ordinary disciples don’t possess the aptitude needed. Moreover, many masters believe that the art of Corpse Control isn’t presentable, tarnishing the sect’s reputation, which led to limited teachings in my generation; it’s estimated that only a few elders on the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain are proficient in the skill now," Ku Daoist remarked with feeling, "Back then, I only learned some basics before leaving the sect."
"Fewer and fewer people at Dragon Tiger Mountain master the arts of Corpse Refining and Corpse Control, but Bone Painting Tower is different. Their lineage was built on Corpse Control and manipulation, and it’s acknowledged as the most authoritative Corpse Refining sect in the martial arts world today. They have a multitude of talented individuals, with the Master of the Tower being a top figure in the martial arts world; it’s said he possesses five Golden Corpses, all formidable Netherworld Envoys before death, extremely powerful. Back then, merely two Golden Corpses were enough to wipe out an entire sect overnight, a sect whose strength wasn’t inferior to Withered Bone Pavilion."
