"Alright, come on. Considering we are both veterans of the Fallen Sword Abyss, I will give you some tips about corpse refinement." As Xu Xiaoshan led the way, Yan Xiaobao wore a sinister expression on his face and followed.

Soon, they were inside a private room within the Corpse Refinery, commonly known as the Corpse Cavern.

The cylindrical chamber wasn't very large. Nine oil lamps emitted a mysterious glow but failed to dispel the stern darkness. In the middle of the room was a deep reservoir.

The water was the color of blood, appearing strange and wondrous. Floating in the water was a corpse!

The body belonged to a tall and burly man, his face twisted in a vicious expression. He didn't seem like a kind person, with a fatal wound on his forehead. The skin around the wound had noticeably withered, forming a pattern akin to plum blossoms.

Xu Xiaoshan wasn't familiar with every corpse in the Corpse Cavern, but upon seeing this one, he remarked in a low voice, "This guy was killed by that blood-crazed woman. The fact that he died fighting her implies he had a special cultivation base when he was alive." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Yan Xiaobao gazed at the corpse, leaving a mark on his forehead. His heart instantly chilled.

"Obviously, on Corpse Peak, we focus on corpses," continued Xu Xiaoshan. "Generally, the corpses start ordinary, gradually leveling up until they reach the peak. The grades are as follows: Pale Zombies, Shadow Zombies, Flying Ghouls, Grand Liches!

"Your task is to make this corpse grow white hair. Then, it will transform from an ordinary corpse into a Pale Zombie!

"The method is explained in this jade sliding plate. Considering you're at Level 10 Qi Condensation and have been here for some time, you might have heard how it works. Use your cultivation base to catalyze the blood reservoir, then immerse the corpse. Of course, there are many other details that need mastering.

"If you work quickly, you can complete the task within half a year." Subsequently, he handed Yan Xiaobao two jade slips. One contained information about the corpse refinement methods, the other to control the corpse itself. Then, he turned and left.

However, Yan Xiaobao didn't want to waste that much time. Looking at the corpse, he asked, "Is there a way to make it faster?"

Xu Xiaoshan coldly laughed. "Faster? Certainly! If you give the corpse enough Spiritual Medicine, then the process will naturally speed up. In fact, if you're skilled enough, maybe you can make a Nine Serenities Blood Pill. With one, you can complete it in ten days. Moreover, the corpse will become a Grand Lich, as powerful as a Clan Leader!

"I forgot you actually can do some alchemical concoctions. Perhaps you should give it a try." He chuckled again. The disciples of the Blood Flow Sect usually spend their time fighting, and most consider medicine a time-wasting pursuit. Xu Xiaoshan flicked away, leaving Yan Xiaobao alone in the Corpse Cavern.

Yan Xiaobao thoughtfully looked down at the corpse floating in the reservoir, and soon, his eyes brightened.

"They didn't like me making pills in the Spiritual Flow Sect, but now I'm in the Blood Flow Sect. I can finally make some pills again..." Becoming a Master Pharmacist is indeed a headache. He sighed. "Years later, I can proudly tell my descendants, Yan Xiaobao walked a long and winding road. He nurtured beasts in the Spiritual Flow Sect, and concocted medicine in the Blood Flow Sect!" Yan Xiaobao truly felt proud of himself. Considering how hard he's worked, if he didn't become a Master Alchemist and create an eternal life pill, it would be very unfair.

"But, I need to be careful. This isn't the Spirit Sect. These people are ruthless. If I provoke them with my medicine concoctions, they might not just throw stones, they might attack with magic items." This thought made him so nervous that he began to hesitate.

After deep contemplation, he clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with determination.

"If I want to be the world's greatest Pharmacist, if I want to live forever and exist forever, how can I let this trivial Blood Flow sect stop me? I will certainly concoct some medicine!

"Come on! When it comes to the way of medicine, Yan Xiaobao fears no one!" Although his expression appeared cold and sinister, he truly gritted his teeth, cautiously facing the wind.

He didn't want to be stuck in the Corpse Cavern, staring at the corpse for longer than he had to. He wasn't interested in these matters at all. Hence, he would use his spiritual medicine capability to reduce the time needed to complete the task. Then he could leave Corpse Peak once and for all.

After studying the task jade slip for some time, he began to dimly laugh. "All I have to do is make the corpse grow white hair, right? Simple! I just need to create a medicinal incense for hair growth!"

In the Blood Stream Sect, any corpse that grows white hair is a Pale Zombie. It's common knowledge. There has never been a normal white-haired zombie.

Yan Xiaobao looked at the blood-colored water and the corpse, thoughtfully rubbing his chin. Then he sat cross-legged, beginning a spiritual review of all the medicinal formulas he knew.

Using pills to solve the corpse's problem was basically impossible. He had to concoct medicinal incense. When burnt, it would produce smoke that would merge into the corpse and transform it.
