"The Complete Guide to Corpse Refining, the Demon-Slaying Technique! This is it!"
His long wait here, without eating or sleeping, was worth it; he finally found the magic to control the corpse!
Holding such treasures in your hands feels like holding a burning hot flame.
With a biting wind blowing all around, it was definitely not a good time to enjoy reading outdoors. Su Feng immediately accepted the two cultivation manuals, and then rummaged through the remaining scraps to find a few thumb-sized spirit stones, thus ending his "treasure hunt".
Su Feng was quite satisfied with his gains.
"It's a real shame that these treasures will never be fully utilized if they stay in your hands."
Su Feng chuckled softly at the corpses on the ground, "I'll take them for you and make the best use of them."
After brushing the mud off his hands and covering the feng shui master's body with a few banana leaves, Su Feng left the banana grove.
Not far from the thatched hut, the demon ape remained in the same position, sprawled out, looking quite comical.
Looking at it now, the demon ape no longer has the fierce and domineering aura it had when it first appeared; instead, it appears somewhat endearing in contrast.
"Cuckoo-"
The demon ape trembled and buried its head in the ground, not daring to move an inch.
It was clearly because of the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Incantation that Su Feng had used earlier, which terrified it and nearly crushed its body.
Even now that the spell has been lifted, they still dare not make any move.
Let's leave it for now.
Su Feng smiled and turned to look at the other side. In the corner, Ren Weiyong, whose body was blackened by the electric shock, was lying on the edge of the mud.
It's pitiful that they were defeated before they could even play a single role as the corpse puppets of the feng shui master.
However, this is a good thing for Su Feng. At least their physical bodies are not damaged. After he has mastered the Complete Corpse Refining Manual and the Demon Subduing Technique, he can remove the impurities and bloodlines from their bodies and make them his capable assistants!
"Alright! I'll have to make do with this for a while."
Su Feng took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.
……
As before, Ren Weiyong's movements were sealed with a small peach wood sword, and then an array was set up around him.
Worried that leaving it outdoors might cause the formation to malfunction due to wind and rain, they decided to move it back inside the thatched hut.
To be honest, it's still pretty scary to have a hideous zombie standing face to face in a dimly lit room without any light.
As for the demon ape...
This is a problem.
Its size was too large to be moved home like Ren Weiyong's.
Given its ferocity, violence, and immense strength, Su Feng could easily be outmaneuvered if he wasn't careful. He couldn't possibly do something so foolish.
They had no choice but to temporarily set up an array around it to restrict its movements, but this was only a temporary measure; they still needed to find a way to control it.
"Squeaky-"
The demonic ape sat on the ground, its gaze fixed intently on Su Feng outside the formation.
Who knows what thoughts are hidden in those dark eyes?
"You'd better behave yourself." Su Feng stood with his hands on his hips, watching from the side. Looking up at the demonic ape at such close range was truly awe-inspiring.
Just that size alone made his feet itch.
"Squeak!"
The demonic ape seemed somewhat agitated, slamming its fists on the ground and baring its teeth at Su Feng.
"You're being mean to me, huh?"
"Heaven and earth are natural, and impurities disperse..." Su Feng pretended to recite the first two lines of the Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra.
As expected, the demon ape immediately cowered upon hearing this, hurriedly covering its ears with its large hands, its fleshy face trembling uncontrollably.
Clearly, they were terrified by Su Feng's previous divine curse.
"Why do I feel like I'm starting to resemble Tang Sanzang?" Su Feng said, both amused and exasperated.
【Drip】
[Detected: 14% of the current demon ape's bloodline consists of a single bloodline; the remaining 86% is composed of 7555 different bloodlines... Should it be removed?]
At that moment, Tianyan's voice also echoed in my mind.
Just as Su Feng had thought, the demonic ape before him also possessed a special bloodline. After removing the impurities from its bloodline, it would surely be reborn.
But... Su Feng dared not rashly eliminate it.
Firstly, he hasn't mastered the corpse control technique yet. If the demon ape's abilities advance rapidly after being eliminated and it loses control, he isn't entirely confident he can subdue it.
Secondly, after losing the feng shui master, the demon ape was like a stray dog. At the same time, judging from its series of actions just now, it is capable of self-awareness.
Therefore, provoking it is not a good idea until you are confident that you can completely control it.
It would be better to use the power of the Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra to continuously instill fear in the demon ape until the day it masters the spell.
"Just do it."
Su Feng stretched and, after making a final check to ensure the formation trapping the demon ape had no flaws, returned to his thatched hut.
In a corner of the room, Ren Weiyong still stood there, his red eyes fixed on the foot of the bed.
Su Feng felt uneasy under that look, so he found a white cloth and covered Ren Weiyong's head with it.
That makes me much more comfortable.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Su Feng placed the two cultivation manuals he had scavenged from the feng shui master on the bed, then found a comfortable spot to sit down and began to read them one by one.
"This complete encyclopedia of corpse refining seems to be a unique technique of the Corpse Refining Sect..."
Su Feng flipped through a few pages at random, and the contents opened his eyes.
It contains all sorts of bizarre and outlandish techniques on how to refine, control, and fuse corpses, making it practically a complete encyclopedia of heretical arts!
Although many of these techniques are extremely inhumane, they are undeniably quite effective.
What Su Feng cared about most was naturally the part about controlling corpses.
"...Through the immortal body of the zombie, one can transfer souls and gain eternal life..."
A sentence in the book reminded Su Feng of the feng shui master's plans and schemes over the past twenty years.
The reason for painstakingly raising Ren Weiyong, this armored corpse, was to obtain a more powerful physique so that he could perform soul transfer as described in the book, thus achieving immortality.
"Ah, he's a pitiful person too."
The price of pursuing evil arts is exemplified by the feng shui master.
This served as a warning, preventing Su Feng from thinking too much about that direction.
Right now, all I want to do is quickly master some of the contents of the Complete Guide to Corpse Refining.

"Complete".
Su Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly put down the Complete Book of Corpse Refining, closed his eyes, and digested everything he had just seen in his mind.
[Didi, time completed by 38 hour]
Three days is neither a long nor a short time.
But we've already waited for so many cultivation methods, so a few more days won't make a difference.
Next comes the demon-slaying ritual.
This book has few pages, and the content is obscure and difficult to understand; several pages are also missing.
Only some of the formulas are available.
"...This doesn't look like a cultivation technique from the Corpse Refining Sect. I wonder where the feng shui master stole it from?"
The title page still had dried black blood clinging to it, suggesting it had passed through several hands before finally falling into the hands of a feng shui master.
"Who cares? It's always good to have more skills."
Just learn the techniques for exorcising demons and monsters; you won't be afraid of not needing to use them.

[10699 vulnerabilities were detected in the data. Should we perform further analysis and data patching?]
"so many?"
Su Feng blinked, thinking he had misheard.
The thick book on corpse refining had only a few thousand flaws, but this half-finger-thick book on demon subjugation has twice as many!
Whether to be happy or sad, Su Feng gave a wry smile and said, "Let's complete it."
It seems that even feng shui masters cannot fathom the essence of this demon-slaying technique; what they have learned is only a fraction of it, or even less.
Who knows what secrets it might hold, bringing even more surprises?
[Didi, time completed by 62 hour]
"It's alright, it hasn't been too long."
Memorizing the contents of two books in one go clearly left my brain somewhat fatigued.
Su Feng rubbed his eyes and opened the attribute panel to take a look.
