In the Mansion of the Dead, Leng Shiqi pressed one of his hands on the corpse's shoulder. Miraculously, the thick corpse Qi and the mysterious golden airflow on the corpse were all absorbed by Leng Shiqi through his hand!
Leng Shiqi didn't know why this was happening. He could only use his inner vision to see that the black mark and the golden dragon pattern on his spirit crystal were flickering as if they were breathing.
Ever since he entered the half-step Gang Spirit Realm by condensing his spiritual crystal in the Dragon Vein, there were three strange things on his spiritual crystal.
They were the star mark, the black mark, and the dragon pattern!
Needless to say, the star mark was naturally brought about by the bloodline of the Star Clan. When he first activated the bloodline of the Star Clan, the star mark also reacted.
As for the dragon pattern, it was most likely related to the environment of the Dragon Vein. Then what was the black mark?
Leng Shiqi once guessed that it might be related to his other bloodline, the Dark Shadow Clan bloodline!
However, he did not really activate the Dark Shadow Clan bloodline, so the black mark had been quiet all this time. For some reason, it suddenly began to crazily absorb the corpse Qi on the corpse!
Not only the corpse Qi, but also another mysterious force was absorbed by Leng Shiqi and absorbed by the dragon pattern.
The dragon pattern was condensed in the Dragon Vein, and the Dragon Vein was the foundation of the Thunder Yan Dynasty's luck. Therefore, Leng Shiqi guessed that the golden energy might be something similar to luck.
According to the Tuoba King, this corpse was the corpse of the first king of the Tuoba Kingdom. In Leng Shiqi's impression, although the Tuoba Kingdom was a small kingdom, it had existed for hundreds of years.
For such a long time, the corpse had been stored in the Tuoba Kingdom's capital and had been worshipped by the people for generations. Perhaps some strange energy had been born from it.
If another few hundred years had passed, who knew what this corpse would have evolved into. Now, it was all in vain, and Leng Shiqi had benefited.
Unfortunately, after absorbing the golden energy, Leng Shiqi did not feel any change. On the contrary, absorbing the corpse Qi and ghost Qi greatly increased his demonic power, and even his cultivation level rose!
In a short period of time, he had already condensed two Rank 3 Stars in his Spiritual Star Sea!
Now, as long as he condensed four more third-order stars, he could break through to the fifth level of Gang Spirit Realm.
However, something unexpected happened at this moment!
The corpse actually opened its eyes!
Those eyes were like a pair of dead fish eyes, looking very horrifying. What was even more frightening was that those eyes actually revealed a dense cold light!
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but be shocked. This person had been dead for hundreds of years. Could it be that there was still a trace of consciousness left?
The corpse could no longer allow the Leng Shiqi to absorb its energy. It began to resist fiercely. The thick, fishy Ghost Qi around it turned into a ferocious demon that opened its mouth to swallow the Leng Shiqi!
One of Leng Shiqi's hands was fixed on the corpse's shoulder, so he had to stretch out the other hand and put it in front of him. The sacred Light of Buddha suddenly appeared, and swastikas floated out, bathing the Leng Shiqi in it.
As soon as the demon touched the Light of Buddha, it immediately screamed. The ghost image was like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, and half of it evaporated in an instant!
Even the corpse began to twitch, and a hoarse and harsh groan came out of its mouth.
Leng Shiqi pinched the Buddha's hand, but he did not directly purify the ghost image. He was afraid that if he did so, he would not be able to absorb any more demonic Qi. Seeing that his cultivation was skyrocketing, he did not want to miss this opportunity!
He suppressed the ghost image with the Light of Buddha, while quickly absorbing the two kinds of energy from the corpse. At the same time, another Rank 3 Star Sea appeared in his Spiritual Star Sea.
However, Leng Shiqi also found that the corpse seemed to be more shriveled than before.
As time passed, the corpse became more and more shriveled and even shrunk, but Leng Shiqi's cultivation was increasing rapidly!
After about an hour, Leng Shiqi's body was full of all kinds of Spiritual Gang, and his aura suddenly jumped to the fifth level of the Spirit Gang Realm!
At this time, the power of the corpse had almost been completely absorbed, and only the body was barely preserved. It seemed that as long as a gust of wind blew, it would turn into ashes.
With the breakthrough of Leng Shiqi's cultivation, he could also take back his palm. During these two hours, he had been thinking about why such a thing had happened.
He felt that the most likely reason was that the black mark on the spirit crystal had the ability to absorb all kinds of Yin Attribute energy!
The reason why he did not have this ability until now was because he had not fought with a Spirit Cultivator of the Devil Path since he left the Dragon Vein, nor had he come into contact with all kinds of demons and ghosts, so he did not know that he had such an ability.
Of course, this was only his own guess, and whether it was true or not still needed further verification.
If that was the case, then it would be equivalent to him finding a shortcut to quickly increase his cultivation!
Leng Shiqi clenched his fists and felt the power of the fifth level of the Spirit Gang Realm. He raised a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and prepared to turn the corpse into ashes. However, at this moment, he suddenly paused. He had a sudden thought and had another plan.
Leng Shiqi rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "Li Gui."
"Whoosh ~"
A gust of cold wind blew, and Li Gui appeared beside Leng Shiqi.
"Do you have the ability to attach to a body?" Leng Shiqi asked.
Li Gui nodded stiffly.
Leng Shiqi ordered, "Attach to this corpse."
Li Gui immediately lay down and directly sank into the corpse. Then the eyes of the corpse flashed, and with a "swish", it stood up straight!
Then, something even stranger happened.
Now the skin of Li Gui's whole body gradually turned purple and blue, and the meridians on the surface of his body bulged, but the muscles on his body were tall and thin.
Li Gui seemed to be not used to the state of having a body. He staggered forward a few steps, and looked a bit like a zombie.
This was not what surprised Leng Shiqi the most. What surprised him the most was that at this moment, Li Gui's aura was actually comparable to a Spirit Cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm!
A ghost slave's strength could increase greatly after having a body?
Leng Shiqi had some doubts in his heart, but thinking that Li Gui was a master of the Oneness of Heaven and Men realm when he was alive, and the corpse he attached to was extraordinary, it was not impossible for the two to combine to have such strength.
At this time, Leng Shiqi thought of another thing. He took out a strange weapon from his ring bracelet and threw it to Li Gui. It was the sixth level spiritual weapon he got from the lottery in Ningyang County, the Clavicle Hook!
Leng Shiqi had no use for this spiritual weapon, but it was very suitable for Li Gui, especially with the Clavicle Hook in Li Gui's hand, and with his terrifying appearance, he really looked like a messenger of hell.
Leng Shiqi believed that with Li Gui's special ability and the Clavicle Hook, his strength was between the Spirit Aperture Realm and the Spirit Astral Realm. This kind of strength was nothing to Leng Shiqi now, but it was also good to have a power that he could use at will.
For example, it was Li Gui's credit that he was able to lure Yuan Zhi and the others into the royal tomb!
Thinking of this, Leng Shiqi did not know how the situation outside had developed. He guessed that there must have been hostility between Ying Yuan and King Tuoba, but he really did not know what the result was.
However, he did not dare to go out directly. Calculating the time, there should still be many imperial guards in the royal mausoleum at this time. To be safe, he planned to stay a little longer. Therefore, he sat down cross-legged to consolidate his cultivation.
