Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

The wind spiritual power transformed into a gentle breeze, sweeping towards the three lotus seeds. However, as it approached, it was shattered by the yin energy released by the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

Seeing this, Feng Liuchen's expression faltered slightly, but he didn't panic. He tapped his fingernails, and streaks of green light shot out.

The green light resembled flying knives, but they were shaped like small grass blades. This was Feng Liuchen's other third-grade spiritual treasure—the Hundred Herb Flying Knives.

The several Hundred Herb Flying Knives were extremely fast, flying towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus, as if their target wasn't the three lotus seeds, but the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus itself.

Suddenly, the yin energy around the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus surged, pouncing on the Hundred Herb Flying Knives. Almost instantly, the several Hundred Herb Flying Knives disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that relying solely on my own means to obtain the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus will be quite difficult."

"However, I'm not alone. The usefulness of this third-grade green-haired zombie is now apparent. It's not for naught that I've cultivated it so diligently," Feng Liuchen muttered to himself, turning to look at Chen Xing.

Initially, the reason he brought Chen Xing here was partly because the yin energy was dense, making it an ideal cultivation ground for Chen Xing. He intended to let Chen Xing recuperate here, hoping to use the yin energy to help him further improve his strength.

Who knew that the subsequent changes would completely exceed his expectations? Not only did his strength improve, but it improved by leaps and bounds. In some aspects, such as physical strength, he became even stronger than him. This was also the reason why he later took Chen Xing away from here.

He was afraid, afraid that Chen Xing's strength would grow to the point where he would lose control.

Another reason was that he had long found the best way to pluck the lotus seeds: let this third-grade green-haired zombie go down. By then, not only could the lotus seeds be harvested, but even the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus could become his possession.

Feng Liuchen's fingertip surged with spiritual power, and then he pointed it towards Chen Xing, the spiritual power hitting his body and dissipating.

"Go!" Feng Liuchen pointed towards the underground dark river, ordering Chen Xing to jump down.

Chen Xing didn't hesitate at all, following Feng Liuchen's orders as if he were truly a puppet.

He jumped into the underground dark river and swam forward.

The river water surged, stirring up waves that crashed against his body, but his body didn't waver in the slightest, resolutely heading towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

As he got closer, the yin energy around the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus transformed into gusts of yin wind, blowing against him.

Clearly, as a congenital spiritual treasure, the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus also possessed a certain degree of intelligence. It sensed danger, and out of instinct, it would control the surrounding yin energy to eliminate the threat.

"Clang clang clang"

A sound like metal clashing emanated from Chen Xing's body.

The clothes on Chen Xing's body had long been tattered, revealing his dense green fur.

The green fur was extremely tough, and its defensive capabilities were exceptionally strong, easily withstanding the attacks of the yin wind.

Chen Xing continued to swim forward, getting closer and closer to the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

The Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus seemed to know that the yin wind couldn't do anything to Chen Xing. The spiritual power floating in the air slowly condensed, and within a few breaths, it formed several black whips.

The whips danced in the air, lashing towards Chen Xing's body.

"Snap snap snap"

Each whip that landed on Chen Xing's body caused his movements to suddenly pause, and his speed was no longer as fast as it was at the beginning.

Seeing this, Feng Liuchen made a hand seal. In his sea of qi, as spiritual energy surged towards the Hundred Herb Flying Knives below, the spiritual energy in his seven seas diminished by a third in an instant.

Outside, a great green light shone behind Feng Liuchen, and blades of grass-shaped flying knives condensed behind him, densely packed, numbering about a hundred.

In the underground dark river.

The yin energy whips lashed out, hindering Chen Xing's movements, but he still stubbornly swam towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

Even if he had only swam a short distance, he would be whipped by the yin energy whips. He couldn't borrow strength in the water, so he could only be beaten back again and again, but Chen Xing still didn't give up, continuing to swim tirelessly towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

Seeing Chen Xing being repeatedly blocked, Feng Liuchen knew that without his help, it would be impossible to harvest the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus by relying on Chen Xing alone.

After all, their main battlefield wasn't on land, but in the water. Even if Chen Xing could rely on his powerful physical strength to withstand the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus's attacks, he had nowhere to borrow strength, and could only be passively beaten.

The Hundred Herb Flying Knives behind Feng Liuchen gradually took shape, emitting a powerful pressure.

The Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus seemed to sense the arrival of danger. The yin energy whips in the air danced wildly, transforming into yin energy chains.

Streaks of yin energy chains rushed towards Chen Xing, firmly binding his body. Chen Xing struggled desperately, and one yin energy chain after another broke, but they were quickly replaced by other yin energy chains.

The yin energy chains carried Chen Xing slowly into the air, away from the underground dark river.

Chen Xing was still struggling, but there were too many yin energy chains around him. As soon as one broke, another would quickly replace it, and the yin energy chains were tightening, causing some of the green fur on Chen Xing's body to fall off.

At this moment, the yin energy around the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus gathered, becoming increasingly dense, gradually enveloping it.

"Hundred Herb Flying Knives—Kill!" At this moment, Feng Liuchen's attack had also taken shape, and he pointed his finger towards the direction of the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

Then, the Hundred Herb Flying Knives behind him shot towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus, and several flying knives also went to help Chen Xing cut the chains.

After all, Feng Liuchen still needed to rely on Chen Xing to harvest the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

"Thump thump thump"

"Ding ding ding"

The Hundred Herb Flying Knives were extremely fast. In about two breaths, they had already struck the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus's defense. The yin energy shield began to ripple with the Hundred Herb Flying Knives' attacks, and soon it was covered in cracks.

On the other side, with the help of the Hundred Herb Flying Knives, Chen Xing shattered the chains one by one, and then fell back into the underground dark river.

The yin energy chains transformed into yin energy. Without the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus's control, they could no longer condense into shape.

The Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus was already having difficulty protecting itself, so how could it care about so much? The surrounding yin energy rushed towards the yin energy shield, gradually repairing the cracks, but it was soon covered in cracks again under the Hundred Herb Flying Knives' attacks.

"Continue!" Feng Liuchen ordered Chen Xing.

After Chen Xing fell into the underground dark river, he swam towards the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus again. This time, without the obstruction of the yin energy attacks, he quickly reached the vicinity of the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus.

About ten feet above Chen Xing's head, a head-sized yin energy shield floated quietly, the black shield covered in cracks. Around it, green flying knives continuously struck it. Although the surrounding yin energy was replenishing it, it was still insufficient.

The green flying knives became fewer and fewer, and the cracks on the black shield became finer and finer.

At this moment, a "crack" sound rang out, and the yin energy shield finally couldn't hold on any longer and shattered.

"Now!" Feng shouted loudly.

Chen Xing leaped out of the water, firmly holding the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus in his arms, and then fell back into the underground dark river.

"Huff... Got it!" A smile finally appeared on Feng Liuchen's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come back," Feng Liuchen ordered.

Chen Xing tucked the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus under one arm, and paddled towards the shore with the other.

He felt the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus shaking rapidly under his armpit, trying to break free, but Chen Xing's strength was already comparable to the attacks of a third-grade spiritual master, so he wouldn't let it break free easily.

The yin energy slowly dissipated in the place where the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus originally stayed.

The yin energy here also became extremely thin.

"Splash"

Chen Xing finally left the underground dark river and came to the shore. He supported himself on the ground with one hand, and placed the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus on the ground with the other.

The moment the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus was placed on the ground, thin roots grew from the bottom and burrowed into the ground.

"Finally brought it up," Feng Liuchen finally felt relieved looking at the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus that had taken root.

The Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus feeds on earth energy, and it needs to consume a lot of its own nutrients to form lotus seeds. At this time, it urgently needs to replenish earth energy. As long as it touches the ground, it will instinctively take root.

And once the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus takes root, it will only leave the ground after it has absorbed enough earth energy. During this period, it cannot move at all.

At this moment, the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus had fully bloomed, the pitch-black lotus petals swaying slowly up and down, and wisps of yin energy wandered on it.

In the central part, three lotus seeds of red, orange, and yellow lay quietly inside.

At this moment, the three lotus seeds were completely mature. They had restrained their divine light and looked unremarkable.

Feng Liuchen took a few steps forward and came to the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus. He bent down, reached out his hand, and easily took out the three lotus seeds.

The three lotus seeds lay quietly in Feng Liuchen's hand, and Feng Liuchen could feel the extremely rich spiritual energy inside.

After the three lotus seeds were harvested by Feng Liuchen, the lotus petals of the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus slowly closed, forming a bud, waiting for it to absorb enough earth energy before it would open again.

Then, after the passage of time, it would nurture lotus seeds again.

"Next, I will absorb the spiritual energy in these lotus seeds to help me break through the third grade and enter the fourth grade," Feng Liuchen carefully took out a jade box and put the three lotus seeds into it.

The lotus seeds have a limited storage time and must be refined in a short period of time, otherwise the spiritual energy inside will be lost.

Therefore, Feng Liuchen had already made plans. He had already opened up a retreat here, waiting to get the lotus seeds and retreat inside to break through.

"You stay here and guard the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus," Feng Liuchen instructed Chen Xing, and then turned around and left impatiently.

And after he turned around and left, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xing's mouth.

Feng Liuchen walked further and further away, gradually disappearing from Chen Xing's sight. Chen Xing was about to make a move when he saw a sneaky figure not far away coming towards him.

So he continued to perform, still standing still.

The person's distance was getting closer and closer, and gradually he also saw Chen Xing's figure.

"Hehe, it's actually a third-grade green-haired zombie, it's really helping me." The person's feet tapped continuously, the speed was very fast but there was no spiritual power fluctuation.

He took out a yellow talisman from his arms and bit his fingertip to draw something.

Chen Xing showed his determination to protect the Yin Nether Tri-Colored Lotus, roared, and attacked the person.
