Meanwhile.

The two Copper Corpses wrapped in white light slowly lost their glow, revealing a new Copper Corpse in front of Lin Chang'sheng—stronger and exuding a much more powerful aura.

It's basically a Level 2 Copper Corpse at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

"Not bad, this Copper Corpse's aura is twice as strong as before! Its strength is equivalent to Foundation Establishment Second Layer!"

"If I refine the corpses of these two Foundation Establishment Cultivators into Copper Corpses as well, wouldn't that mean…"

Lin Chang'sheng looked at the freshly refined Level 2 Copper Corpse, deeply satisfied, and then glanced at Dugu Yun and the Corpse King Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator's bodies with growing anticipation in his eyes.

If he refines them into Copper Corpses, could they also be fused to become a Level 2 Copper Corpse?

By then—

Controlling two Level 2 Copper Corpses, both equal to Foundation Establishment Second Layer, combined with his own cultivation, killing off a Second Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a breeze!

Even if it's Foundation Establishment Third Layer, there's nothing to fear!

According to the description in Puppet Refining Technique…

The body of a Qi Refining Stage cultivator can only be refined into an Iron Corpse. With enough extra materials, it could be upgraded into a Copper Corpse, but the cost and payoff just don't make it worthwhile.

Usually, the best method to refine Copper Corpses is to use the body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator combined with lots of rare materials—the resulting product is a Copper Corpse.

Theoretically, refining with a Foundation Establishment First Layer body yields a Level 1 Copper Corpse.

Using a Foundation Establishment Second Layer body gets you a Level 2 Copper Corpse.

And so forth.

Of course, if you use the body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who's specialized in Body Refinement, the grade of Copper Corpse is even higher!

"Still missing Rootless Water, Refined Copper, and Copper Ink…"

"Guess I'll have to hit up Giant Whale City's market!"

Lin Chang'sheng sorted through all his Storage Bags, checked every treasure, and realized he was still short these three major materials to refine more Copper Corpses. He immediately set aside his refining plans for now.

As for the Skull, since Lin Chang'sheng can't do Artifact Refining yet, he just put it off to the side.

"This pottery jar… Divine Sense won't reach the bottom, it's pitch black inside. That's weird!"

Lin Chang'sheng pulled out the pottery jar he got from Dugu Yun, eyes full of curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he rummaged through his Storage Bag and found a Lower Grade Spiritual Sword to stick inside.

As soon as he shoved the sword in, the three-foot-long weapon vanished without a trace.

Inside the jar, it was still pitch black—still couldn't see the sword.

"Strange, this sword's so long, and it just got swallowed up—gone! That's deep!"

Feeling confused, Lin Chang'sheng grabbed a few long Demon Beast Materials from the Storage Bag and tossed them inside, only to find out that even though the jar was just about a foot tall, its internal space seemed limitless—it could swallow tons of stuff!

After throwing plenty of Demon Beast Materials in, everything disappeared without a hint, and the jar looked just the same.

"Clearly, this pottery jar is way out of my league for now."

Lin Chang'sheng noted mentally, staring at the jar.

He remembered…

Inside his Storage Bag there was also a Scroll with a voice inside, supposedly promising him a massive creation opportunity. But even though Lin Chang'sheng's cultivation was now at Foundation Establishment Stage, he just didn't feel ready to mess with that scroll.

"Ying ying ying!"

Suddenly, Xiaobai—who'd been munching on a pear nearby—scampered over to Lin Chang'sheng, pawing at the pottery jar and squeaking.

"What's up, Xiaobai?"

Lin Chang'sheng looked at the little White Fox, puzzled.

The little White Fox ignored Lin Chang'sheng, staring at the jar instead. Its big eyes sparkled with joy, and then it opened its mouth and inhaled towards the jar—white mist poured out and got sucked in by the fox!

"Wait… it can do that?"

Watching Xiaobai draw in the mist, Lin Chang'sheng could clearly sense an insanely rich burst of spiritual energy!

For just a moment…

Lin Chang'sheng even felt his own cultivation was on the verge of breakthrough!

"Whoa, that's some potent spiritual energy! Xiaobai, how'd you do that?"

Lin Chang'sheng grabbed the jar for a closer look, running his cultivation technique and covering the mouth with both palms, but no luck—he couldn't draw anything out.

"Ying ying ying!"

The little White Fox waved its front paws to show it was done, then instantly flopped over like a drunk, sound asleep.

"Well… okay then…"

Lin Chang'sheng stared at the dozing White Fox, helpless, shook his head, and tucked it into the Spirit Beast Bag. After checking the jar once more but failing to draw out any spirit energy, he just put it away.

"Might as well focus on mastering this new cultivation technique first!"

Lin Chang'sheng pulled out the Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique manual he'd gotten from Dugu Yun, his eyes gleaming.

Since his Spirit Root was Gold Wood Fire, he could practice the Cyan Wood Fire Element Technique, and the Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique was also a Foundation Establishment Technique. Not super high-level, but at least it could fuse with what he already mastered!

Now, his current Five Elements Pure Yang Technique is for Qi Refinement Stage, while this Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique is for Foundation Establishment.

The right cultivation technique really accelerates experience point growth at Foundation Establishment Stage!

[Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique: Entry Level]

[Detected Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique Entry Level. Consume 100 Spirit Stones to simplify?]

After reading the Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique fifteen times, Lin Chang'sheng's status panel popped up with a red prompt.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang'sheng hit confirm instantly.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique… Simplification succeeded… Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique == Mow the grass with a sickle!]

About ten seconds after confirming, Lin Chang'sheng's status panel flashed another red prompt.
