This trash!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shot out a vicious gleam: \"To craft my treasure requires someone with unwavering determination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Shi Hai, who was unconscious, then at Lou Yi, who remained expressionless, and his eyes lit up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi seemed oblivious, pointing above his head, and asked: \"What’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ceiling above, a pitch-black jade bead hung silently, emitting an entrancing glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering you’re about to die, the old man will mercifully tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the most precious treasure of the entire Qi Yun Villa, called the Calm Sea Pearl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what does it do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, it serves as an array...\" The old man suddenly fell silent and, pointing at Lou Yi, said: \"This boy has some nerve, seize him and give him a good roasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more resentment, the better, but remember, don’t kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few burly men heard this and strode towards Lou Yi, smirking as they reached for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then they were horrified to find their hands like they were grasping an iron pillar, unable to move a bit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a massive recoil force acted upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly men screamed miserably, then one by one were flung into the kiln cave, turning to ashes in the green fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you’re trying to craft, is it called a Yin Thunder Bead?\" Lou Yi said with a smile to the gray-robed old man, revealing bright white teeth that sent a chilling glow through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he spat out a red light, striking the black bead above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black bead began to shake violently, and visible array patterns emerged around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under Lou Yi’s mighty flow of Qi, it couldn’t withstand and finally wobbled down into Lou Yi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the black bead’s fall, Lou Yi suddenly felt a load was lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive array that previously enveloped the entire Qi Yun Villa suddenly became flawed and could no longer pose a threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Calm Sea Pearl, is it the array core of the Qi Yun Villa’s formation?\" said Lou Yi. \"If I were outside the villa, I might have been helpless against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, you brought me right beside it, truly even heaven is helping me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed old man’s eyes showed fear as he tossed several egg-yolk-sized gray spheres at Lou Yi and sprinted toward the exit without thinking twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom boom boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loud explosions sounded, and a large amount of corrosive gray yin aura spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed old man ultimately did not escape, but was caught by Lou Yi by the neck, as lifeless as a dead dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You Yellow Springs Sect, despicable and doing all sorts of evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day I shall go to your lair and wipe out all you scum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare, spare my life!\" the gray-robed old man pleaded tremblingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention he was just at the late stage of Qi Refining, even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator meeting Lou Yi at close range would be helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Poof!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi pointed his finger at the old man’s Middle Dantian, completely destroying the Qi Vortex within and the meridians around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, where are the Yin Liquid and Yin Thunder Beads stored?\" Lou Yi asked plainly, disregarding the old man’s venomous glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In, in... if I tell you, will you let me go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swear a Dao heart oath, then I’ll tell!\" Despite having his cultivation wasted, the old man still had a strong desire to survive, struggling to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noisy.\" Lou Yi grew a bit impatient, directly activating his Control Talent and Illusion Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination easily revealed the exact location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s figure disappeared, leaving behind only a corpse with a broken neck, its eyes wide open in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a breath, Lou Yi had arrived at a villa’s underground vault, picking up an inconspicuous silver ring amid various pieces of jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, there’s a defense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Screech!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eagle flew from Lou Yi’s mind, diving directly into the silver ring, breaking its once formidable defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a new use he discovered for his Divine Sense after advancing to Martial Saint, which could break some Divine Sense restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the villa’s grand array showing signs of activation, Lou Yi didn’t linger any longer, swiftly racing out of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived at a dense forest more than ten miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi poured all the items from the ring, his eyes widening suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a haul, truly a haul this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him were jade bottles filled with Yin Liquid, the same specifications as those used by the old man, numbering three to four dozen, with each holding 500 milliliters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when he ventured into the Yin Fiend Realm, the task for a group was just to collect a full bottle of Yin Liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The egg-yolk-sized gray Yin Thunder Beads were even more abundant, totaling five to six hundred, if not a thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Yin Thunder Bead could threaten an undefended Peak of Qi Cultivation. Thirty to forty could make an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator shudder in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these five to six hundred, if used all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power was beyond what Lou Yi could imagine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other gold, silver, jewels, and large amounts of artifact refining materials, he couldn’t be bothered to count them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi returned all the Yin Thunder Beads and artifact refining materials to the storage ring, leaving only the Yin Liquid, and put the ring on his left index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he opened a bottle of Yin Liquid and began absorbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Qi within his body began boiling upon contact with the Yin Liquid, forming countless tiny air bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s body turned a glowing red from the heat, large amounts of white steam enveloped the entire forest, as if it had just experienced a fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine gray residue, difficult to discern with the naked eye, continuously expelled from his pores, dissipating into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lou Yi’s Qi was refined, strengthened, its hardness rapidly increasing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first bottle of Yin Liquid was quickly absorbed, followed by the second bottle, the third...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the Yin Liquid was thoroughly absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s fingertips emitted a bit of crimson Qi, as clear as crystal, free of any impurities, shimmering like flowing water, bright and dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emitted an incredibly sharp aura, such that ordinary cultivators could feel their skin pricking painfully even from a thousand meters away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Liquid accumulated for countless years by the Yellow Springs Sect at Qi Yun Villa, were now all benefiting Lou Yi, fully converted into his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rogue is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion Lou Yi caused in the forest had been too great, attracting pursuing enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, several sharp sounds cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader’s aura was immensely powerful, reaching the sky, actually a rare late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1182,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","056fd7798685cf771581857a40c1b653e371f115cf803acd406136dc72885315","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-491","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-489",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg",{"terms":25,"userReplacements":26},[],{}]
