composed of four major parts: Qi Cultivation, Body Refinement, Martial Arts, and Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement, there certainly won’t be significant changes within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of Martial Arts, the Breathing Technique and Skin Refining Technique are almost stagnant, with only Mutated Martial Arts progressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently at the Mid-tier Anomaly stage, it would take more than a year and a half to advance to the High-tier Anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the initial stage of Anomalies, Lou Yi communicated with a strange tumor that formed within his body, absorbing its energy to transform himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the Mid-tier Anomaly stage, one must devour the tumor to become indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the High-tier Anomaly, it involves constantly devouring newly formed tumors to achieve a transformative state throughout the entire body, reaching the Non-human Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he advanced to a High-tier Anomaly, his martial strength would undoubtedly leap, with a significant increase in Qi-blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to previous insights, once Qi-blood reaches a certain height, it will react mysteriously with Divine Sense, potentially causing a qualitative transformation in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he should focus a lot of his energy on finding the Dragon Saliva Grass needed for the advancement of the Demon Summoning Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he can elevate the Demon Summoning Scripture to the Small Success Level, he should be able to break through to a High-tier Anomaly within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against Elder Wang of the Foundation Establishment Level, Petrification and tenacity are the most effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Petrification advances, it could not only improve his defense but also potentially increase the cultivation speed of the Starlight Body Tempering Technique, achieving two benefits in one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>tenacity can absorb damage, enhancing his survival capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like Ice Soul and Spirit-devouring Vine should also be prioritized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides enhancing personal strength, the second method to counter the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is to rely on external help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could find a powerful patron, his situation would significantly improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Yaoyao’s father, Elder Bi, cannot help him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he quickly breaks through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, he will qualify to find a mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he apprentices to someone stronger than Elder Wang, it will surely give the latter pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, his cultivation at Qi Cultivation Third Level (360\u002F600) is increasing by three proficiency points per day, and he could break through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage in a little over two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lou Yi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the Attribute Panel again, noticing the Sword Control Technique, which had always been gray, was now usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his Body Cultivation had broken through, giving birth to Spiritual Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Control Technique (Uninitiated 0\u002F20) → Sword Control Technique (Initiated 0\u002F80) → Sword Control

mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these memories, Lou Yi became a swordsman in the mortal world, eager to uphold justice, accidentally stumbling upon an evil cultivator’s deeds, and joined forces with a Daoist priest to eliminate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest, gravely injured, passed on a Flying Sword and a mantra before dying: channel Qi into the blade, moving the sword with the mind, stepping on constellations to summon wind and thunder, while a green snake flies from the sleeve towards the moon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, relying on this mantra and the Flying Sword, he transformed from a sword hero to a sword immortal, frequently upholding justice and leaving countless legends in the mortal world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Lou Yi’s Divine Sense underwent another baptism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hawk absorbed most of the energy, its size expanding once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the white ape formed from Spiritual Sense and the black snake in the tumor, they quietly remained in a corner without any action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wealth of experience in controlling the Flying Sword and other Magical Artifacts materialized out of thin air in Lou Yi’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Lou Yi brought forth all the Magical Artifacts he could now control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black Flying Dagger treasure embryo, named Moyuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual River Ruler obtained from the patriarch of the Li Family of the East Sea;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yuan Magnetic Pearl and Fire Element Fan seized from Young Master Yun of the Red Sun Sect; the Upper Grade Treasured Armor obtained from Geng Yao of the True Blood Sect;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mother-and-child Black Nail taken from an Evil Cultivator; the silver Flying Sword acquired from a Female Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, Qi Cultivators often focus their energy on refining a single Magical Artifact, rarely exceeding two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lou Yi’s Spiritual Sense was extraordinary, surpassing the Qi Cultivation Level, thus the limitations were much lesser, deciding to refine as many as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barely refined Flying Dagger treasure embryo turned into a streak of black light, flying out with a sharp sound of an air explosion, its power far surpassing an average Flying Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a Flying Sword depends on the user’s Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With strong Spiritual Sense, the Flying Sword’s speed increases, strong Spiritual Cultivation makes the combat last longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lou Yi was only at the Qi Cultivation Third Level, limiting his use of the Flying Dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once activated, its powers were truly astonishing, easily cutting down an unprepared peak Qi Cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Spiritual River Ruler, being of the Spiritual Artifact Level, it consumed too much Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi couldn’t even unleash a single strike with it, temporarily putting it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was a treasure Lou Yi dared not overlook, the combined Array Plate he obtained from the Li Family patriarch’s Storage Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not simple, filled with an aura of slaughter, causing a piercing pain in Lou Yi’s forehead, definitely a significant asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to find Bi Yaoyao for help, see if it can be utilized.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this thought flashed through Lou Yi’s mind, he heard a crisp voice outside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Wood, Lou Wood, the fairy has arrived, are you not rushing out to greet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing such a joking voice, Lou Yi’s mouth couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the cave, he saw a bright figure full of energy with sparkling black eyes looking at him. Who else could it be but Bi Yaoyao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, it seems you’ve grown stronger again.\" Bi Yaoyao remarked in surprise after glancing at Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator’s senses were quite sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, having just broken through, Lou Yi’s aura was slightly expressive, thus easily noticed by Bi Yaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t take it too seriously, grabbing Lou Yi by the wrist and leading him back into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This girl now truly doesn’t treat me as an outsider.’ thought Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside Lou Yi’s cave, Bi Yaoyao transmitted via Spiritual Sense: \"The Divine Sense of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can extend outward, if they deliberately probe, they can hear our conversations. It’s safer to transmit important messages via sound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Lou Yi hadn’t expected the usually bold and uninhibited Bi Yaoyao to be so cautious, responding in kind with his newly developed Spiritual Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingyi told me about that day. You must be wary of Elder Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My father said this person is vicious, always seeking revenge for small grievances!\" Bi Yaoyao’s eyes were filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1392,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","aaf0820c900aeb8fa4751cc2371a964f12974df645f1afd3ca2b0a49abd981f1","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-381","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-379",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
