Chapter 126: Huangquan Corpse Refining Technique
One month later, in the cave.

Ji Chang sat cross-legged in a quiet room with two jade slips floating in front of him.

One of the jade slips was a second-level alchemy inheritance, which Ji Chang had obtained by spying on Master Badan during this period.

The second-level alchemy inheritance in Master Badan's hand is quite complete, reaching the level of the second-level best. It is the top-level second-level alchemy inheritance, second only to the third-level alchemy inheritance.

For Ji Chang, with this inheritance, his alchemy skills will no longer stagnate and will be able to continue to improve.

This means a lot to Ji Chang.

Ever since Ji Chang came to Baishuixian City, he seldom took pills during his daily practice.

This is mainly because even in Baishuixian City, second-level elixirs are quite precious.

It is difficult to purchase the second-level elixirs needed for cultivation simply from the elixir shop.

If you want to purchase second-level elixirs, you can either participate in auctions and compete with other foundation-building cultivators for the bids.

Or you have to collect elixirs and ask a second-level alchemist like Master Badan to make the elixirs.

Not only does it cost a large amount of spirit stones, but there are very few second-level alchemists in Baishuixian City, and the only second-level alchemist who resides in the fairy city is Master Badan.

The other second-level alchemists basically came from several foundation-building families in Zheng State who were good at alchemy.

They usually come to Baishuixian City to purchase supplies every few years and sell the pills they make.

Generally, they choose to sell pills through auctions, and occasionally they participate in some small trade fairs to sell pills.

In addition, there are occasional reports of second-level elixirs being sold on the black market outside of Baishuixian City.

However, the goods on the black market are of unknown origin, and most of them are stolen goods obtained by robbers through killing and looting.

If it is magic tools or talismans, it is fine, but for things like elixirs that are eaten, they will not be purchased from the black market unless there is no other choice.

Now, with the second-level alchemy inheritance in hand, Ji Chang will be able to refine second-level pills by himself to assist in his practice.

"With the help of elixirs, my cultivation progress will be much faster."

According to Ji Chang's own estimation, if he did not have the assistance of elixirs and simply relied on hard training, with his own qualifications of top-grade spiritual roots, he would not consider the bottlenecks he would encounter.

It would take more than one hundred and twenty years just to cultivate to the false elixir realm.

He is now forty-nine years old. One hundred and twenty years later, Ji Chang will be only over one hundred and seventy years old.

Taking into account the solidification of his magic power and the addition of a sixty years of life after cultivating the fake elixir, Ji Chang has a lifespan of three hundred years.

Over one hundred and seventy years old, only a little more than half of that time has passed.

It seems that there is more than enough time to prepare for the formation of the elixir.

However, Ji Chang could not make such an estimate.

Ji Chang is not a genius cultivator with natural spiritual roots. During his cultivation in the foundation-building period, he will encounter two small bottlenecks: breaking through the middle foundation-building stage and breaking through the late foundation-building stage, as well as a big bottleneck of breaking through to the false pill realm.

If there were no corresponding breakthrough elixir to assist, Ji Chang didn't know how long it would take to break through the bottleneck.

If calculated in this way, it might take Ji Chang more than 200 years to cultivate to the false pill realm.

Therefore, during the foundation-building period, second-level elixirs are also very important.

The other jade slip is also a very important inheritance.

It can even be said that it is more important than the second-level alchemy inheritance obtained from Master Badan.

The jade slip recorded a third-level inheritance.

It came from Si Shengcai, who was planted with the peeping mark by Ji Chang half a year ago. Just as Ji Chang had guessed before, the Si family did have a third-level inheritance, which was enough to cultivate to the Jindan stage.

The name of the skill is called "Huangquan Corpse Refining Technique", and it is said to be a lower-level skill of "Huangquan Sutra", the core method of Huangquan Sect.

According to the introduction, "Yellow Spring Sutra" is a fourth-level martial art of both the Corpse Path and the Water Path.

As one of the lower-level skills of the Huangquan Sutra, the Huangquan Corpse Refining Technique focuses on the corpse path.

It can be said to be a simple corpse-control technique.

In addition to more than ten different types of corpse refining methods, it also records a method for practicing the Danwen magical power.

Ji Chang didn't know much about the Danwen magical power.

Ji Chang had learned about it before from fragments of "The Fragments of the Five Poisons".

The practice of a cultivator in the Jindan stage is not to accumulate magic power like the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, nor is it to compress magic power like the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, but to practice supernatural powers.

But Ji Chang didn't know what the Danwen magical power was exactly.

And now, after acquiring the third-level technique "Huangquan Corpse Refining Art", Ji Chang also has a certain understanding of the Danwen magical power.

After a Jindan cultivator has mastered a third-order spell, he can try to condense it into danwen and engrave it on the golden elixir in his body, forming danwen magical powers similar to the bloodline magical powers of monsters.

After cultivating the Danwen supernatural power, not only the power is greatly increased, the consumption is drastically reduced, but it can also be released instantly.

Just a thought is enough to activate the Danwen magical power.

The magical power of Danwen recorded in "Huangquan Corpse Refining Art" is called [Three Corpses and Five Ghosts].

To cultivate this magical power, one needs to refine three special corpses and five special plague ghosts.

After being refined, its power is terrifying and its attack is powerful, far beyond the reach of ordinary Jindan cultivators.

If one has not cultivated the magical power of attack, even if one has three or four danwen magical powers, it will be difficult to resist a Jindan cultivator who has cultivated the magical power of [Three Corpses and Five Ghosts].

In addition, there is a restriction if one wants to cultivate the magical power of [Three Corpses and Five Ghosts].

That is, when breaking through the Jindan stage, one needs to cultivate the Corpse Dao Golden Elixir or the Soul Dao Golden Elixir.

Of course, the Qidao School's panacea-style golden elixir can also carry the elixir pattern inscription of the [Three Corpses and Five Ghosts] magical power, but the effect is not particularly good.

The method of forming the golden elixir in "Huangquan Corpse Refining Art" is to cultivate the golden elixir of corpse.

Unlike breaking through the foundation-building stage, when breaking through the golden elixir stage, the golden elixir obtained will be different depending on the different techniques, different methods of forming the golden elixir, and the smelting of different spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

After achieving the Golden Elixir, if one wishes to change the technique one practices, one can only switch to a similar technique.

For example, if one has cultivated the Water Dao Golden Elixir and wants to change the cultivation method, he can only practice other Water Dao cultivation methods, or at most switch to cultivating the Blood Dao cultivation method of the Gui Shui lineage.

If one switches to practicing the fire path technique, it will cause the golden elixir to be shattered, the vitality to be severely damaged, or even death.

Unless there is a special opportunity, the golden elixir in the body will change.

Or maybe you have cultivated the Qi channel, a panacea that has no particular preference.

Ji Chang didn't care which school of golden elixir he wanted to cultivate, because he was still far from forming the golden elixir.

Although I only have the "Huangquan Corpse Refining Art" as my method of forming the elixir now.

However, as I gain more experience in the future and meet more cultivators, I may be able to obtain better third-level techniques, or even fourth-level techniques.

Therefore, Ji Chang was not in a hurry.
