Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 673: Chapter 611: Encounter and Conflict (Combined Chapter)

Mid-stage Martial Saint (60/600, one acupoint (1/600) → Mid-stage Martial Saint (60/600, one acupoint (4/600)

Originally, it took twenty days to increase the proficiency of one acupoint by one point.

It would take thirty-two years to fully cultivate one divine acupoint to perfection.

Now, although the proficiency in cultivating the Candle Dragon Acupoint seems to have increased by only three points, a negligible amount, it has effectively saved two months of effort.

Once Lou Yi completely cultivates the Candle Dragon Acupoint and it transforms into a divine form, his strength will significantly increase.

’If only I could slay spiritual creatures every day…’

Thinking of this, Lou Yi asked, “Elder Gui, is it easy to find these spiritual creatures in the Heavenly Abyss?”

Elder Gui sighed, “Today was a lucky day; we actually encountered a spiritual creature with a rank.

Normally, finding one every ten days to half a month is already good.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many cultivators in the Heavenly Abyss at the first two levels of the Spirit Platform.

Moreover, spiritual creatures generally only affect the first two Spirit Platform levels. After the third level, the effect becomes weaker and weaker, and one can only break through with Heaven and Earth Wonders.”

“I see.” Lou Yi nodded.

In the Heavenly Abyss, the view is limited, the paths are mysterious, and the environment is complex.

Whether looking for spiritual creatures or Heaven and Earth Wonders, both rely on luck, time, and manpower to achieve.

This is also the significance of the Heavenly Abyss team; many people, great strength.

In a daze, Lou Yi thought of the Beast Hunter Guard in Wangjiang County.

Although the cultivation of the Beast Hunter Guard is much lower than that of the Heavenly Abyss cultivators, what they do is essentially the same.

After clearing all the spiritual creatures discovered in the cracks, the group continued moving forward.

Except for Elder Gui, who stayed with the two newcomers, Lou Yi and He Shu Li,

the others scattered to search, each no more than a few miles apart, ready to provide support in case of trouble.

Unfortunately, today’s good fortune seemed to end there.

By nightfall, the team hadn’t made any new discoveries.

In the following days, the young Lin Xuan led the team, exploring the Heavenly Abyss just like today, searching for spiritual creatures.

Unfortunately, apart from finding a lone stone bird, there were no other gains.

During the journey, Ding Shiniang continuously harassed He Shu Li, touching his hand or neck frequently.

Regrettably, He Shu Li’s heart was as firm as iron, refusing to take the bait, leaving Ding Shiniang quite frustrated.

Not one to be discouraged, she immediately changed her target, setting her sights on Lou Yi.

“Oh no, I twisted my ankle…”

Dressed in a loose green long dress, Ding Shiniang stood about a foot in front of Lou Yi, frowning and bending over.

The bend exposed her curves like a ripe peach, enticing to the eyes.

She looked at Lou Yi with her big moist eyes, as if to say, “Aren’t you going to come help me?”

Lou Yi was speechless; this excuse was too clumsy.

You’re at least a Great Cultivator at the third level of the Spirit Platform; how could you suddenly twist your ankle like a mortal woman?

However, since they were ’colleagues,’ it wouldn’t be right to ignore her.

“Lady Ding, are you okay?” Lou Yi pretended to be concerned.

“Come over and take a look; it seems a bit swollen.” Ding Shiniang pulled her foot out from her detailed embroidered satin shoes.

Removing the white socks, she revealed a fair jade foot, with brightly painted nails.

Under Ding Shiniang’s expectant gaze, Lou Yi immediately called out, “Leader, Lady Ding is injured.”

“What? Let me take a look.” The young Lin Xuan frowned and was about to come over to check.

“No need, it’s a minor injury, nothing serious.” Ding Shiniang gazed resentfully at Lou Yi, feeling that the times had changed, and these two newcomers were so insensible.

“Lady Ding, do you need me to massage it for you?” Elder Gui, with a head full of white hair, offered with a mischievous smile.

He gazed at Ding Shiniang’s exposed jade foot, his eyes burning with interest.

“No need.” Ding Shiniang gave him a sideways glance and snorted coldly, “I’m not interested in old geezers.”

“No problem, madam, if you need anything, just call me.” Elder Gui, being old and thick-skinned, wasn’t offended at all.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, Lou Yi suddenly turned his head to look to the right.

A few breaths later, everyone present sensed movement and looked in that direction.

’Whoosh!’

A few breaths more, and a figure, at least four or five zhang tall, burst from the gray mist, rushing swiftly toward the group!

It was a deer-like creature, entirely red, with bulging muscles as if made from hard red rock.

Its two branched antlers on top were silver-gray, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Its eyes were purplish-red, carrying a hint of spirituality, but they were filled with panic.

“It’s a spiritual creature, a big one; its spirituality must be abundant!” The young Lin Xuan exclaimed in delight, ready to act.

“Leader, wait, it seems to be chased by something!” Elder Gui immediately stopped him.

His sharp eyes noticed several exposed stone blocks on the rock deer’s body, shattered, with dark red lava-like blood continuously flowing out.

“Where are you running?”

Then, two impressive figures emerged from the gray mist.

One was short and fat, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with a large number of copper coins, looking like a rustic rich man.

The other was tall and thin, with a hard, cold face, surrounded by a pale blue water belt to guard against sudden events.

One was fat and short, the other tall and thin, standing together; they looked like a comedic duo of sorts.

Seeing these two, Lou Yi was stunned.

’Aren’t they the cultivators who entered the Heavenly Abyss with me?’
