I don’t even have enough contribution points for myself, really can’t spare any to exchange for Star Iron for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To promote a Spirit Corpse to Iron Corpse, besides the master’s daily nurturing with Spiritual Power, feeding it Star Iron is also one of the ways to accelerate the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Star Iron is not cheap; each liang costs ten points of contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve significant effects, it’s not something that can be done with just one or two liang, and Lou Yi really couldn’t afford the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Lou Er is an Innate Spirit Corpse, equivalent to a Super Grade Spirit Root among cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the assistance of Star Iron, its transformation speed is far ahead among new disciples’ Lifebound Corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another two or three years, it should be able to transform into an Iron Corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Er blinked at him, seemingly indicating it didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lou Yi’s Lifebound Corpse, Lou Er’s consciousness was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the individuality part was very minimal, and with the array restrictions imposed by the Corpse-Driving Sect, there was almost no possibility of betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, once my contributions are abundant in the future, I won’t forget your share,\" Lou Yi said, patting Lou Er’s shoulder happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing better to do, he stood in place, continuing to study the wonders of True Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright red True Strength emerged from his body, transforming into a dazzling halo that circled around Lou Yi’s arm, looking almost like a toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the True Strength, Lou Er automatically distanced itself from Lou Yi, evidently wary of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, its eyes paradoxically revealed a glow of longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi saw this and couldn’t help but laugh: \"You still want to touch it? Want to give it a try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he spoke, Lou Er seemed startled and retreated two more steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the primary functions of a Lifebound Corpse is to absorb all the yin chill from the Yin Spiritual Qi that the cultivator absorbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then transfers the neutralized Spiritual Qi to the cultivator, acting like a filter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, it gradually becomes something of utmost yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lou Yi’s True Strength possesses qualities of utmost heat and yang, making the two incompatible like water and fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi had tried before to transfer True Strength into Lou Er’s body, similar to transferring Spiritual Qi, but it caused a chaotic aura, making it struggle, and he dared not try again since then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lou Er seemed to have an extreme longing for the True Strength, which puzzled Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking much, after staying in the fields for several hours, he took Lou Er back to the Disciple Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak of the Disciple Peak was a scene of clamoring at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all the Inner Sect Disciples at the peak were present, along with some unfamiliar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hit, hit him hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beat the crap out of that Guan Min guy, I don’t believe no one can beat him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom boom boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang clang clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a ring drawn with black charcoal circles, two tall, dark gray corpses were locked in fierce combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every exchange of blows produced an ear-piercing sound akin to metallic collisions, with even sparks flying, demonstrating the hardness of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the scene seemed a bit one-sided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly smaller corpse was forced to retreat step by step, despite making several counterattacks, all to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was forced out of the circle, completely suppressed from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, lost again, my silver...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Fei’s Iron Corpse has been transforming for years now, and even he can’t beat Guan Min. Looks like no one here can win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the field, numerous disciples watched a blue-robed male cultivator with grave expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was tall, with a chin full of stubble, rough skin, looking aged somewhere between his twenties and thirties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke smugly: \"Ladies and gentlemen, my Iron Corpse had a remarkable foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my mentor’s help, it’s been tempered through the Thunder Technique, and its strength has exceeded thirty thousand pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might as well give up, why make a big fuss over winning and losing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, he emphasized the words ’mentor’ and ’Thunder Technique’, provoking considerable discontent among everyone at Disciple Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damned, having a mentor is so great, huh? Looking down on people just because you’ve moved up to Wendao Peak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to help Guan Min back then, and now acting all arrogant like this, just hating myself for being blind back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No choice, strength speaks, who made us at Disciple Peak unable to beat him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though discontent, the crowd was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi stood by quietly observing, piecing together most of the situation based on the surrounding chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Min, who came from Wendao Peak, was invited to participate in the corpse battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow he ended up making indiscreet remarks, provoking everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, he implied that all Inner Sect Disciples remaining at Disciple Peak were incompetent, while the capable ones had all moved to Wendao Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such remarks thoroughly enraged the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inner Sect Disciples residing atop Disciple Peak couldn’t refrain from challenging him, but all ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lou Yi understood that most of what Guan Min said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Outer Disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect resided at Disciple Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, some would be appreciated by elders and taken in as disciples, prompting them to move away from Disciple Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others, with limited potential, remained at Disciple Peak, without elders’ favor, having to tough it out over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the reasoning was sound, Guan Min’s straightforward words were somewhat hurtful, causing the outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these matters had little to do with Lou Yi, who simply watched the drama unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Guan Min continued: \"Sigh, can’t stand you all, losing yet refusing to admit it. Fine, I’ll give you another chance, anyone who can beat my Great Bull, I’ll give him a Corpse Storage Bag!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you lose, you’ll have to give me a treasure of equivalent value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, no one? Has staying at Disciple Peak dulled your courage? Su Pei, are you coming or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth with a blade of grass in his mouth, Su Pei, being named, looked displeased yet didn’t act impulsively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t foolish, unwilling to hand over treasures to Guan Min for nothing; his Lifebound Corpse had just broken through to Iron Corpse, how could it contend with the opponent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else’s thoughts mirrored Su Pei’s, as a Corpse Storage Bag valued a hundred contribution points, not a trivial sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the atmosphere turned a bit awkward, a voice broke the silence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked up, surprise etched on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s him, Junior Brother Lou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His corpse seems to be an Innate Spirit Corpse, but if I remember right, it’s still some way from being an Iron Corpse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lou may excel at betting on corpses, rarely losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But battling corpses isn’t the same as betting; it’s not just about having a keen eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It requires one’s Lifebound Corpse to face off directly, allowing no laxity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Min from Wendao Peak also furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his worry wasn’t about Lou Yi’s lack of cultivation skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Junior Brother, I’m offering a Corpse Storage Bag, equivalent to a hundred-point contribution. If you want to gamble with me, you need something of equivalent value, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this?\" Lou Yi smiled, holding up a pink brocade pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Palm-sized, exquisitely crafted, it emitted a faint glow under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Storage Bag?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","8590b98de667f2576093c2ad6040d02058a8d93298d8259f0e9ffa8a14b8c385","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-312","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-310",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
