Seventh tier? Interesting!” Xu Mu opened the system to check.

Because it was an inheritance transferred through a jade, not only did the system directly display the information after receiving it, but it also gained more than a hundred points of experience.

A seventh-tier skill isn’t easy to find, and this Mystery Yin refining corpse skill encompasses so much that one can say it’s equivalent to several skills.

If Xu Mu were to switch to practising corpse techniques, this skill would certainly be considered godly.

Unfortunately, the martial method he cultivates is completely different from the corpse path. If he were to switch, it wouldn’t be much different from starting from scratch.

So he didn’t even bother thinking about it.

After quickly scanning through the information about the Mystery Yin refining corpse skill in his mind, Xu Mu quickly found the information he was looking for.

“Setting up a reversing formation… using a special silver needle magic artifact… placing it in a Supreme Yang Land…”

There are many ways to solve such predicaments, but not many are suitable for his current situation.

He only found one that was barely suitable.

Administer a pill with opposite properties to the corpse being refined, disrupting its absorption of Yin Sha Qi, and simultaneously assisting outside forces in launching a joint attack.”

Because he practices a fire-type martial method, he does have some fire-type pills to aid cultivation. However, those are only tier three & four pills, which are barely enough for his own cultivation. Using them to wear down the Yin Sha Qi in the opponent’s body clearly wouldn’t suffice.

After all, this corpse’s cultivation level is comparable to that of the Golden Pill stage, and its original foundation was even at the Nascent Soul stage. Whether it’s the speed of absorbing energy or the amount of energy contained within, both far exceed Xu Mu.

However, Xu Mu must have chosen this method for a reason.

Becuase he still has another kind of pill on him, a precious one that’s comparable to tier six.

“The Happy Pill!”

He got this from Mu Yunwan. There are over thirty bottles of it, and it’s a pill specifically used for practicing Qi gathering techniques.

Once taken, the user’s cauldron would lose control of its own Qi, making it easier for the cultivator to gather Qi, and at the same time it would make the user disoriented and lose the will to resist.

This kind of pill is not only Yang attribute, but it is also strong, and it’s hard to resist for both men and women once they take it.

If one forcibly resists it, they would be burned to death by the medicinal power. Mu Yunwan is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her mother is a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. Of course, they wouldn’t use garbage pills. These pills are precious, but their effects are too specific, so Xu Mu hasn’t been able to get rid of them.

The body in front of him is full of cold Yin energy, which is completely the opposite of this pill.

If taken, it should help get rid of the Yin Sha Qi.

“I’ll just try a few pills to start with, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll come up with something else.”

No sooner said than done, Xu Mu took out a pink pill, reached out to grab its jaw, and prepared to shove it in directly.

But then…

“Seriously? You’re dead and still biting so hard!”

On second thought, a dead person’s mouth does seem to be quite firm.

Xu Mu tried to use force, but as soon as he did, a black shield emerged, bouncing his hand away. Black Sha Qi surged out intent on attacking him. Xu Mu quickly retreated and dispelled the Yin Sha Qi with Thunderbolt.

It was clear that when his power reached a certain level, the corpse would perceive it as a threat and instinctively fight back.

Neither the soft approach nor the hard one worked. He was a bit stuck!

He guessed that the person who invented this method probably didn’t expect that a mouth would pose the biggest challenge.

If it were a regular corpse refining, he could forcefully open it, but the black shield on this corpse was too strange, leaving Xu Mu at a loss.

Xu Mu furrowed his brows, constantly thinking, until a sudden bright idea had him rapidly relax. He had a plan.

If the front entrance isn’t working, why not try the back way? The large intestine should also have absorption abilities.

“I’m truly a genius!”

Xu Mu complimented himself, then bowed in apology towards the corpse. “Senior, I am doing this for the good of all mankind. Please bear with me!” After apologizing, Xu Mu tried it out with a clear conscience and was surprised to find it went smoothly.

As expected of a Nascent Soul Stage’s corpse, its skin is so thick!” Xu Mu

exclaimed.

Though the pill was small, it was dry and therefore challenging to manage.

As the pill entered, the originally slightly trembling corpse started to react violently, but it soon calmed down.

“It works!”

Xu Mu could clearly feel the Yin Sha Power on the corpse decrease. This showed that although she could neutralize the power of the pill, there was a significant drain on her own energy. Most importantly, this internal damage did not trigger her extreme reaction.

Since it was feasible, Xu Mu had no reason to be polite. He started administering the pills one after another rapidly.

To ensure a surefire result, Xu Mu planned to use twenty bottles.

Given the effect of each pill, this dosage would be enough to overwhelm someone in the late Golden Pill stage.

Just as Xu Mu was concentrated on his work, the recently entered pill began to take effect. The Yin Sha Power inside the corpse began to vibrate violently, trying to wear it down and expel it, but unfortunately, it met Xu Mu, a very careful fellow. The pills came one after another, and the corpse hardly had time to dissolve them.

The medicinal power accumulated more and more, quickly shifting from passive defense to active attack, scattering the Yin Sha Qi inside the corpse. Xu Mu detected this but didn’t let go for the sake of a permanent solution.

The medicinal power sieged and infiltrated the entire body.

“It should be fine like this, right?”

Looking at the completely unresponsive corpse devoid of any cold yin aura, Xu Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he needed to work in conjunction with the pill, but now with enough pills, this trouble was saved.

“Although the transformation into a corpse was avoided, continuing to stay here might repeat the same process. And moreover—”

What a waste!

I used so many pills, could it possibly cost me more?

A Nascent Soul Stage corpse is quite valuable!

Otherwise, why would Xu Mu be so kind-hearted!

He reached out his hand to grab the corpse’s clothes and easily lifted it up. It seemed that with the disappearance of Yin Sha Qi, the little bit of inherent spiritual sense in the corpse also disappeared.

just as Xu Mu was about to simply pack up and take the corpse, it suddenly opened its eyes, showing a look full of longing. Xu Mu was startled and had a bad feeling. Before he could let go and dodge, the corpse suddenly grabbed his hand, tightly like a clamp.

Before Xu Mu could resist, a surge of scorching power came rushing in.

“Damn!”

Xu Mu silently cursed, for the power was precisely from the Happy Pill he had just used, he didn’t expect the other party to reverse the control and infuse it into him.

This is literally a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s feet!

This corpse is too strange!

However, it’s too late to regret now. Xu Mu could only resist with all his strength.

But this power was too gigantic and easily broke through into various parts of his body.

Under the pressure, Xu Mu completely lost control, and his rationality was overwhelmed.

No matter if it’s a corpse or a live person, this medicinal power must be vented out.

The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Harmony was also affected, and it automatically started running. The huge medicinal power, spiritual power, and Yin power, under the coordination of the Secret Technique, formed a perfect cycle.

Xu Mu’s cultivation, driven by this power, rapidly advanced, quickly breaking through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, and continued to climb, slowing down only upon reaching the ninth layer.

It took a long while for Xu Mu to regain his senses from this absurdity.

At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in his mind..
