dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, he saw some red and green women’s intimate garments scattered on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful patterns of begonia, slender and delicate silk ribbons, and transparent ice gauze underclothes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, the carefree Shi Caifeng had clothing full of youthful charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would’ve thought you had such taste...\" Lou Yi teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!\" Shi Caifeng angrily pushed him out, tidying up inside for a moment before letting him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the squad outside the curtain looked at each other, eyes showing strange colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, a woman’s chamber wouldn’t be easily entered by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chenyu’s face didn’t look good, he clenched his fist, then helplessly released it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he might have had some jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the gap was too big, he could only feel silently heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi didn’t know that people outside could think so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With unrest in the camp, he needed to quickly enhance his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Stone Spirit, Phoenix Blood Stone, and White Dew Stone, he looked at the faintly visible + sign after Stoneification Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined a force pressed upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the stones transformed into liquid, merging into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the White Dew Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The melted liquid was extremely cold, causing even Lou Yi, whose qi-blood was extremely vigorous, to shiver, with his thoughts slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talent panel underwent a change accordingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneification (Master 0\u002F200+10 Stone Spirit+3 Phoenix Blood Stone+1 White Dew Stone→Small Success 0\u002F1000+5 White Dew Stone+1 Star Cold Iron)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange memories appeared in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still the familiar Monkey King, now over a hundred and fifty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the death of old friends and relatives, he left the forest he grew up in, left the familiar tribe, and started a long aimless wandering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hungry, he picked wild fruits, thirsty, he drank from the streams, tired, he rested on the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instincts developed in his body over a century automatically absorbed the moonlight pouring in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, he developed a cynical attitude, losing the will to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling through, he settled in a new forest, saving humans from beasts like tigers, bears, and large pythons many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the name ’Immortal Ape’ spread far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this caught the attention of a minister in the kingdom who liked collecting unusual things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent a large number of soldiers to hunt down the old ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outnumbered, the old ape leaped into a waterfall in desperation, flowed with the river into the kingdom’s Land of the Far West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, glaciers stretched for thousands of miles, and the cold was biting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old ape was frozen in a small ice mountain, its body’s activity reduced to the lowest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the transparent ice mountain could still ensure the absorption of enough moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another hundred years, the ice mountain finally melted, the old ape suddenly opened its eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Lou Yi also opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great stream of bone-chilling energy entered his body, covering his skin, eyebrows, and hair with a layer of white frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under the stimulus of this icy flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cells within his body continuously died and regenerated, further strengthening his physical body and bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transformation would continue slowly but steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi looked at his attribute panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name:

need testing to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stoneification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s entire body was covered with a faint layer of gray, like some dust had settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not looked at carefully, it couldn’t be seen at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Finally, 360 degrees without any blind spots.’ Lou Yi thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a weapon to test the defense limits, finding it much stronger than before; ordinary iron tools could hardly breach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a change of intent, Stoneification underwent a second transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small portion of his upper body became a porcelain white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive area shrank, but the ability further increased, able to withstand a Hundred-refined Steel Saber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the third transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire arm turned jade white, with strength comparable to Profound Iron, becoming a true Qilin Arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is there a fourth transformation?’ Lou Yi just thought of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of his palm was suddenly covered with a layer of light silver, looking as if coated with silver paint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed the Profound Iron Axe tightly, leaving several shallow fingerprints on the axe blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fourth stoneification’s hardness had already surpassed Profound Iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s estimated only rumored extraordinary weapons could rival it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If used properly, it could definitely become a major trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was very satisfied, his strength increased by another margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmm, something’s not right.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed the Stoneification Talent’s description had new changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneification (Passive): The body’s strength gradually increases over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneification (Active One): You can choose to briefly stoneify the surface of a body part, with the time and area increasing with talent improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneification (Active Two): When using Active One, you can choose to use this active, making your body exude a chill, thereby reducing nearby enemies’ speed by 5%-15%, but significantly decreasing the stoneification skill duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nice stuff.’ Lou Yi’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In battles among experts, the gap is often just a hair’s breadth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5%-15% speed doesn’t seem like much, but sometimes that small difference is between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stoneification.\" Lou Yi used two major actives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body first turned a faint gray, then faintly carried a blue pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he could feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of the stoneified skin became bone-chilling, even causing a layer of white frost on the nearby tree branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using only one active skill, the stoneification could be maintained for about eighty to ninety breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both actives were used, it could only last twenty breaths at most, any longer would cause heart-palpitating side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Stoneification talent had thus advanced to the Small Success stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next stage required an energy leap of a thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was not startled but delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that once advanced, it would lead to a qualitative change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up from Shi Caifeng’s wooden bed, walked outside the curtain, and saw many unfamiliar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people were men and women, young and old, most were martial artists in the camp, here to seek refuge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Lady Shi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you hadn’t taken us in, we might have been swallowed up by those other squads. Who knows what they’d have us do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, when can we leave this lousy place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the gratitude of many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Shi Caifeng, who was usually so carefree, felt a bit dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lou Yi shook his head and stepped in front of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I’ve told you about the rules before. To rely on our Cai Feng Squad, each person must pay a hundred taels of silver as a fee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t have it now, you can owe it, but a note must be written.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too mercenary, young man! Lady Shi is kind-hearted; how could she do such base acts?\" an elderly martial artist with graying hair said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, as the saying goes, ’See injustice on the road, draw your sword to help,’ don’t you have any chivalrous feelings?\" another middle-aged woman cried shrilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","b46de4df91dd92a762d311e4c496e7998bad04cd0e0ce2558ea86d1b6c7663f8","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-142","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-140",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
