Chapter 903 - 403: True Monarch Bingdie

Chapter 903: Chapter 403: True Monarch Bingdie

In fact, it was by coincidence. When Lin Chang’an initially hadn’t yet broken through to Tier Three with his puppet technique, he naturally started with corpse refining. Only after his skills advanced did he incorporate the puppet way.

"I am willing to exchange this corpse puppet technique for some materials to refine Nascent Soul spiritual objects..."

Sure enough!

After Lin Chang’an frankly stated his purpose, the Grand Elder smiled and nodded.

Though the corpse puppet technique is precious, to a Nascent Soul Influence, it’s just average.

The Myriad Poison Sect has an abundance of Hundred Skills of Cultivation, but ultimately it relies on its sect cultivators.

Yet within the Sect, there’s more experience in the Path of Beast Taming and control techniques; who would seek harder paths when easier options are available?

Not everyone is a genius.

The same skills, enriched by countless predecessors’ experiences and numerous seniors’ guidance, compared to one that you almost have to explore by yourself—everyone knows how to choose.

Thus, many valuable legacies aren’t as precious as imagined.

"Young friend, I understand your intention. Although this corpse puppet technique is excellent, its requirements are exceedingly harsh, making it less straightforward than pure corpses refining."

As a sect dealing with the Corpse Valley for over a thousand years, how could it lack some corpse refining methods? Likewise, corpse refining is also a high-end skill.

It’s not that by obtaining the inheritance, I’d instantly master it and be able to refine at will.

"Young Friend Xiao has quite the strength; taking the position of Honored Guest Elder, there’s no need to manage external affairs. Just focus on cultivation in the Sect, as long as you serve the Sect for a hundred years."

Then you’ll be qualified to use the highest grade spirit vein of the Sect to attempt Nascent Soul formation. Of course, if Young Friend can refine enough Yin Sha Corpse Puppets for our Sect, you may also exchange for some Nascent Soul materials."

After some negotiations, both sides nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, the other party valued Lin Chang’an’s ability to refine corpse puppets, each getting what they needed.

"Thank you, Grand Elder. My puppet skills have reached a bottleneck; once I break through to Tier Three Middle Grade, I’ll have a chance to refine corpse puppets with Core Formation Late Stage strength."

"Very well, the materials you need will be allocated by the Sect."

Finally, Lin Chang’an nodded in satisfaction, and the sword servant was disregarded by the Grand Elder throughout.

To a Nascent Soul Cultivator, a Core Formation Cultivator is merely a stronger ant, only someone like Lin Chang’an with skills worth something would earn their personal attention.

Ordinary Core Formation Cultivators, even at late stages, joining the Sect as Honored Guest Elders would be sent to manage outside industries.

In essence, they’re just risking their lives.

Lin Chang’an, however, was a skilled individual and thus treated as valued guest wherever he went.

The agreement was that as long as Lin Chang’an refined enough strong corpse puppets for the Sect, gathering enough materials, he could even request this Grand Elder to refine a Nascent Soul Pill.

A Yin Sha Corpse Puppet essentially adds an extra Core Formation level combat power.

However, the refining certainly consumes materials, even for a Nascent Soul like the Myriad Poison Sect, they may only provide such means to talented sect cultivators as protective measures.

Or reward cultivators who have achieved great merit.

...

Immediately, Steward Cheng led Lin Chang’an with a smile to select a mountain peak rich in spiritual energy within the Sect.

"Brother Xiao, this cave mansion will absolutely meet your requirements—the back mountain is an Extremely Yin Land, usually used for raising Yin Attribute spiritual insects and spiritual medicine.

The main peak remains unaffected and is connected to our Sect’s ground fire, allowing Brother Lin to refine some elixirs at his leisure."

It’s undeniable that the Myriad Poison Sect, daring to let him join, indeed conducted thorough investigations into him.

"I truly thank you, Brother Cheng."

"Brother Xiao, there’s no need for politeness. From now on, we’re brothers in the same sect. Later on, I’ll personally choose a few clever hands for you."

After introducing Lin Chang’an into the Sect, Mr. Cheng beamed with joy, having achieved a major success.

Regarding the selection of personnel, Lin Chang’an was well aware. Although there’s an element of surveillance, probably more than a few are from the Cheng Family.

This too is preparation for the future by the Cheng Family.

Being new and amidst the tangled grudges between the Four Great Influences spanning generations of Nascent Soul cultivators, who knows how many spies are inside.

Thus, Lin Chang’an didn’t hesitate, instead, he lightly chuckled and nodded, "In that case, I’ll rely on Brother Cheng, yet no outsiders are needed to serve in the cave mansion."

As Lin Chang’an finished speaking, the sword servant stepped forth, bowing and addressing Brother Cheng.

This almost signified that she would naturally serve within the cave mansion.

"Rest assured, Brother Xiao, just rest assured. We are selecting some disciples to assist Brother Xiao in managing the Spirit Peak. For any errands, feel free to instruct the disciples below."

Mr. Cheng was not surprised; let alone outsiders, even fellow cultivators are reluctant for anyone to enter their cave mansions at will.

Later, Lin Chang’an and the sword servant entered the Spirit Peak; the place appeared to have been previously inhabited by a cultivator, showcasing clean and elegant layouts and decorations, seemingly formerly owned by a female cultivator.

Through Mr. Cheng’s introduction, he learned that a hundred years ago, it was True Monarch Bingdie’s cultivation cave mansion.

Later, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul, she naturally moved to the main peak with more abundant spiritual energy.

Over the years, it hadn’t been unoccupied, with some occasionally opening cave mansions halfway up the mountain to attempt Core Formation, in another way hoping for a bit of fortune.

Meanwhile, the back mountains also housed many spiritual insects.

The reason he was able to arrange here was entirely because the back mountain of this Spirit Peak was a superbly Extremely Yin Land, assisting him in refining corpse puppets.
