The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 520 - 519

Chapter 520: 519

Bodies that have been dead for too long lose their human Spiritual Energy, while those dead for too short a time suffer from a deficiency of corpse qi, hindering their ability to absorb the essence of Corpse Refining. Therefore, different bodies are required; a female body, naturally imbued with yin qi, serves best as corpse qi. It requires no concern for the duration since death, nor the body’s absorption capacity. However, selecting such a body involves a meticulous and rigorous choice.

Although the Corpse Refining Technique was unearthed by Master Shangjia Moti, he has yet to successfully refine a single corpse. Even the one slain by Ye Tian was merely a half-finished product, a matter Master Shangjia Moti has always brooded over.

"The young monk has come this time merely to request an item from the three Masters. Naturally, it will be personally returned after use."

The expression of Skull Master changed; although he was aware that the person before him possessed some bizarre abilities, the brazen demand for an item right to his face was somewhat offensive. "May the State Preceptor enlighten us on the item he wishes to borrow?"

"Nothing more than a Buddha Bead and a relic."

"Hmph, the State Preceptor certainly has a big appetite!" Black Armored Master replied unpleasantly. To him, the State Preceptor before them indeed had some level of cultivation, but it was limited to serving the Gu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be dressed in such tattered clothes while coming here.

"Humbly," Master Shangjia Moti, aware of the gap between himself and the three present, spoke without edge in his voice, submissively saying, "I heard recently a young man of unknown origin has broken in here. It’s forgivable that he’s unaware of the rules, but he even entered the Nushen Tower. May I inquire if this is true?"

Black Armored Master’s brows furrowed, and instantly, a surge of black qi flew towards the State Preceptor, a smoky swirl of dark vapor that skimmed along the ground and cut through the air with a domineering force, even carving a crack in the earth.

Black Armored Master, who practices the Blood Sacrifice Technique, mastered a magic not necessarily less sinister than Master Shangjia Moti’s Gu Poison. Master Shangjia Moti merely glanced at the attacking black qi on the ground, and spoke lightly, "The Master’s Blood Sacrifice Technique seems not to have reached the pinnacle of refinement; otherwise, it would not appear so weak and feeble."

Before the words had even settled, the golden snake on his left arm quickly descended to the ground, voraciously engulfing the swirl of black qi. After consuming it, the snake’s body noticeably expanded. However, in an instant, it spat out a Sword Gang, piercing the ground with a sharp incision three feet deep, as keen as a blade’s edge.

Skull Master nodded slightly, "The State Preceptor indeed has impressive skills."

"It’s the Master’s graciousness that allows this beast to show off here," Master Shangjia Moti demurred.

The utterance of "beast" was meant for the golden snake, but Black Armored Master, who heard it, took it as a slight against himself. He was about to retort when Skull Master stopped him with a glance.

Skull Master fingered his prayer beads and asked, "The State Preceptor mentioned a young man earlier. Might I ask if the State Preceptor has seen this person or knows anything about him?"

Hearing the subject turn to Ye Tian, Master Shangjia Moti felt a bit consoled, "This individual is extremely dangerous. I have come here seeking certain items to aid my Cultivation and to seek revenge."

"How is this person extremely dangerous?"

Skull Master did not mention the matter of borrowing things and instead asked another question. Shangjia Moti was not in a hurry. After all, he had come to borrow things and naturally had to explain patiently. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have anything at all and would have no way of finding that kid to take revenge.

"Last night, this person sought me out. I had no grudges against him, yet he immediately used a lethal move. This person’s methods were sinister, and his strength was unfathomably profound. From my observation, this person’s cultivation surely could not be compared evenly with the three Masters, but he was already much closer to the level of the three Masters. After a hard battle, although I managed to save my own life, I lost all of my Gu insects’ essence, as well as the corpse body I had refined."

Corpse Refining!

This term, which had only been heard of, actually existed, and naturally, the most shocked among the three Masters was the Black Armored Master who practiced the Blood Sacrifice Technique. The Blood Sacrifice Technique he practiced actually originated from Thailand’s Witchcraft Technique, but in the subsequent evolutions, it had diverged from the Witchcraft Technique, incorporating experiences and routines from later practitioners, making the Blood Sacrifice Technique more detached from the most original Witchcraft Technique. Because of this, even though additional routines had been added, the most essential elements were lost. A significant reason why Black Armored Master could not reach the pinnacle of cultivation through the Blood Sacrifice Technique was precisely because he had lost the essence of the Witchcraft Technique. If he could learn some magic from the State Preceptor before him, it would be more than good.

Seemingly noticing the feverish look in the eyes of the Black Armored Master beside him, Shangjia Moti said indifferently, "It truly is a pity that the corpse body I refined was lost. Although it was only a semi-finished product, it still took me a lot of effort. I have completely mastered the Corpse Refining Technique, I just missed the final step."

Shangjia Moti shook his head and sighed. Although his expression seemed insincere, the fervently passionate Black Armored Master did not mind these nuances and asked, "Does the State Preceptor have this Corpse Refining Technique?"

"Of course, I do."

Skull Master chuckled, "Is the purpose of the State Preceptor’s visit today to promote your country’s Gu Poison Skill? It would be excellent if the Gu Poison Skill could be spread all over the world. My junior has always been very interested in your country’s Witchcraft Technique and hopes that the Great State Preceptor can generously teach him."

Heh, do they really think I’m a saint saving all sentient beings?

Shangjia Moti put his hands together, nodding with bowed head, "This would indeed be the best. However, the Corpse Refining Technique is not yet completely perfected and still requires some external forces to assist. My visit this time is to seek some help. If the Corpse Refining Technique is completed, I would share it with all of you."

"The external forces sought by the State Preceptor, temporarily, do not exist here."

"Are the Buddha Beads and Shariputra not here?"

Shangjia Moti countered.

"If the State Preceptor had come earlier, perhaps you could have debated for one or two."

From the tone, it seemed that those items were no longer there. Shangjia Moti asked, "Has someone already come to take the Buddha Beads?"

"Indeed, this is the case. In a few days, it will be the Seizing Body Conference. If the State Preceptor really wants them, I’m afraid it will have to be on the Body Seizing Platform."

Skull Master didn’t avoid the subject and mentioned the event where Great Zen Master Tian and Ye Tian entered the Nushen Tower together, "Great Zen Master took the Buddha Beads and relic to protect himself. Even if we currently wanted to hand them over to the State Preceptor, we would be willing but powerless."
