Chapter 301 Zhou Siyi's Request

In order to obtain more corpse path spiritual materials, Song Wen got four more second-level human snakes.

So far, he has a total of seven second-level human snakes in his hands.

Most of the second-level human snakes in the human snake cave are in his hands.

To facilitate distinction, he numbered the humans and snakes.

Human snake No. 1 is the human snake that has merged with Xuan Qi.

A few days ago, Song Wen performed another corpse refining on it.

Human Snake No. 1 has completed corpse refining eleven times.

The other six human snakes only underwent corpse refining once or twice.

In the eyes of others, it takes three to four days for each human snake to refine its corpse.

The recovery time for human snakes after refining corpses is approximately between 20 days and one month.

This led outsiders to mistakenly believe that Song Wen was almost constantly refining the corpse of the human snake.

The actual situation is that every time Song Wen refines a corpse, it takes about one day.

He spent most of his time refining and taking blood spirit pills to improve his cultivation according to his own practice habits.

At the same time, his practice of alchemy has not fallen behind.

When I have time, I will also try to refine new second-level elixirs.

Seven days later.

Song Wen met Zhou Siyi in the human snake cave.

"Junior Brother Wu, something happened over there at Suishan."

"Suishan is located in the hinterland of the sect. What could happen? Is there something strange happening in Xue Sui?" Song Wen looked curious.

His two Holy Armor Gu are still in the Suishan Formation. Seeing Zhou Siyi taking the initiative to mention Suishan, Song Wen also wanted to know what was going on in Suishan.

"My father and Master Tengfeng failed to trap the Blood Beast."

"How could it fail? Didn't it mean that for more than a thousand years, the sect has successfully trapped more than a dozen blood beasts? How could it fail this time?"

Zhou Siyi said, "My father said that they haven't even seen the face of the Blood King Beast."

"After they fed Xue Sui with a large amount of blood food, Xue Sui fell into a deep sleep. They originally thought that this was a sign that Xue Sui would give birth to the Xue Kui beast."

"But what they didn't expect was that they had been waiting in the formation for five full days. Xue Sui had awakened again, and there was still no sign of the Xue Kui beast."

"The Blood King Beast is extremely important to the sect, and it was not captured, which made my father and Master Tengfeng extremely worried and angry."

Song Wendao said, "Didn't the sect successfully capture more than a dozen blood beasts? One less one won't have much impact, right?"

Zhou Siyi said, "These dozen or so Blood-King Beasts have been captured in the past thousand years. It's not like the Blood-King Beasts are immortal. Today, there are only three Blood-King Beasts alive in the sect."

"That's it." Song Wen said.

After a moment of silence, Song Wen continued to ask.

"Now that the Blood Year has awakened again, do we still need to continue eating?"

"Of course I want it, and because of the birth of the Xue Kui beast, Xue Sui's appetite has increased."

When Song Wen heard this, he nodded and stopped talking.

Since we need to continue feeding the blood years, a large number of spaceships will come in and out every day, and the Holy Armor Gu can take the opportunity to escape from the formation.

...

Two days later.

Just as Song Wen expected, the two Holy Armor Gu returned to Song Wen's cave on their own.

The state of the Holy Armor Gu is quite strange. It is slightly stronger and seems to be in a state of overexertion. It is even difficult to fly.

The two Gu insects crawled all the way back to the cave.

There is also a strange aura about them. This aura is very weak. It has a sense of ethereal grandeur and transcendence, but also a sense of chaotic and depraved evil.

"What did the Holy Armor Gu eat inside Xue Sui's body to give them this strange aura?"

"What kind of creature is Xue Sui? Why does it have this strange aura on it, and why does it have to eat the flesh and blood of living people to survive?"

Song Wen had many questions in his mind, but it was always a good thing that the Holy Armor Gu could return alive.

He put away the Holy Armor Gu and continued to practice in seclusion.

...

"Junior Brother Wu, are you there?"

A few days later, while Song Wen was practicing, he heard Zhou Siyi's voice suddenly coming from outside the cave.

Song Wen finished his work, stood up, and opened the cave's restrictions.

"Senior Sister Zhou, do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhou Siyi looked frustrated and angry.

"I failed again in refining the corpse of a human snake. I have succeeded five times before. If I succeed again this time, there should be signs of the initial fusion of corpse energy and vitality. But I don't want to... ugh."

After letting out a long sigh, she continued.

"What's even more annoying is that the human snake was eaten away by corpse gas and died. All my previous efforts were in vain and I fell short."

"I chose a mysterious corpse that is at the eighth level of qi training. It should be easier to refine than a second-level human snake. It seems that I really don't have any talent for corpse refining."

Seeing Zhou Siyi's self-pity, Song Wen could only say a few words of comfort.

After a while, Song Wen changed the topic and asked.

"Senior Sister Zhou, you came to see me today. Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhou Siyi calmed down her emotions and said.

"According to my analysis, the reason why I have failed in refining corpses one after another is mainly due to my lack of knowledge about corpse refining. I have only seen the secret technique of corpse refining in the human snake cave."

"Perhaps, if I look at a few more corpse-refining techniques and learn about them, I can quickly improve my corpse-refining skills."

"I heard that there is a ghost market not far from Donghuafang City, where various magic secrets are sold. I want to go and take a look."

Song Wendao said, "Sister, are you talking about the 'Mountain Ghost Market'?"

"Yes, it's called the Mountain Stream Ghost Market. Have you been there?"

Zhou Siyi's face suddenly became a little surprised.

"Junior Brother Wu, can you take me there? I'm worried that I can't get in without a guide."

Song Wen shook his head.

"I haven't been there either, but I've heard about it. It is said that the Mountain Stream Ghost Market is a place of chaos and disorder. Senior Sister Zhou should not easily get involved."

Hearing that Song Wen had not been there either, Zhou Siyi seemed a little disappointed.

Then, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Song Wen expectantly.

"Junior Brother Wu, can you accompany me? I'm a little afraid to go alone."

Song Wen had just encountered Lan Chen in Donghua Market, so he was not willing to leave the Beast Taming Sect easily.

He thought for a moment and found a suitable reason to refuse.

"Sorry, Senior Sister Zhou. I have to manage the Human Snake Cave, and there are seven human snakes to refine corpses. I really can't get away. You should find someone else to go with you."

Zhou Siyi looked lonely.

"But, in the sect, the only friends I can trust are you and Senior Brother Liu. Senior Brother Liu is out, capturing mortal blood food for Xue Sui. I can only ask you for help."

Looking at Zhou Siyi's pitiful appearance, Song Wen sighed deeply.

"Sister Zhou, thank you for your trust, but it is really inconvenient for me to go out."

"If you just want to buy some corpse skills in the black market, you don't have to go there in person."

"There must be foundation-building cultivators in the sect who have dealings with people in the black market."

"Sister, ask more at Danfeng and Lingshoufeng, and let them buy the secret skills for you."
