Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 73: Soul Refining Flag

It must be said that Zheng Yi is quite satisfied with the performance of the Qí family patriarch whom he has conveniently supported.

At least during his Qi Refining period, Zheng Yi can comfortably act as the puppet master behind the scenes, remotely commanding matters that he himself cannot conveniently handle, thus saving a lot of trouble.

The entire Qí family is his white glove, extremely useful and very good.

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't completely exterminate the Qí family in the beginning, but instead left behind a branch and made use of it.

Since the power of soul essence is a valuable currency among demonic cultivators, the profit from soul essence stones is simply too great.

Zheng Yi's refining of those ghost creatures in the doomsday world was already a zero-cost transaction, only consuming some time and energy.

Therefore, Qí Lín established a dedicated refining room for Zheng Yi's use.

Inside the refining room, Zheng Yi picked up a piece of silver ore called "荷银矿母" that was placed in front of him, and as he looked at the shimmering silver light on it, an involuntary smile appeared on his face.

"Qí Lín really knows what he's doing. It seems that the Qí family still has a necessary existence."

This "荷银矿母" is a precious type of ore, and its price is not low, requiring at least tens of thousands of Low Grade spirit stones.

It is especially rare and difficult for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to obtain.

However, this "荷银矿母" is one of the best materials for refining the Soul Refining Flag.

Other Qi Refining cultivators from the Assimilating Soul Sect don't have a continuous source of funds like Zheng Yi, so they can only choose some cheaper substitutes. However, the quality naturally decreases after upgrading the Soul Refining Flag.

But for Zheng Yi, who now has a bulging wallet, he demands the best for his cultivation path, not to mention that the Soul Refining Flag is his Law Weapon, which cannot be the slightest bit careless. Therefore, the "荷银矿母" must be arranged.

This is also the reason why Zheng Yi has not refined the Soul Refining Flag again.

He is also waiting for the Qí family to collect the best materials for him.

In Zheng Yi's thinking, the Qí family is just a tool conveniently established to help him quickly improve his strength.

Once he reaches a certain realm, the Qí family will lose its usefulness, and the consequence will only be abandonment.

Perhaps Qí Lín is very clear about this point, which is why he closely follows Zheng Yi's footsteps and completes everything assigned by Zheng Yi one hundred percent.

For example, in collecting the materials for refining the Soul Refining Flag this time, Zheng Yi casually informed Qí Lín, but unexpectedly, when he returned to the Dàyì Immortal Domain, Qí Lín had already taken care of everything.

For Zheng Yi, this undoubtedly saved a lot of time.

So his thoughts have changed again.

Perhaps he can increase the Qí family's strength from another perspective, in order to make them more useful to him.

"Let's refine the Soul Refining Flag first, we can discuss this matter later."

In the refining room, Zheng Yi directly operated the circulation route of his spiritual energy from the Black Demonic Art within his body. The spiritual energy surged continuously, releasing a dark green flame.

Boom!

A ball of dark green demonic fire fell onto the center of the Gathering Fire Array, igniting the cauldron in the refining room as it absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.

Zheng Yi raised his hand, and a black light flashed from within him. A small black flag with unique patterns appeared in his palm, with the vivid image of an evil spirit's head on its surface.

If one were to listen closely, they could even sense the endless howling of countless Yin soldiers from the surface of the demonic flag.

Zheng Yi took a glance and then directly threw the Soul-Capturing Banner, which had started to crack, into it.

Under the burning of the dark green flames, the exquisitely black small banner floated quietly in the center of the cauldron.

As the temperature inside the cauldron gradually rose, changes began to occur on the surface of the Soul-Capturing Banner.

The entire banner gradually changed color, from its original black surface to a slightly whitened appearance due to the burning.

The peculiar patterns on the banner began to fade, and a grim and pale ghost head emerged.

The Soul-Capturing Banner rolled in the dark green flames, countless black mists twisted and constantly extended a claw or a grim face. Countless shadows gathered, and occasional ghostly roars could be heard from within.

It seemed that they couldn't bear the burning of the dark green flames and couldn't help but let out screams.

In fact, refining tools also meant refining ghosts!

While forging the Law Weapon, it was also refining the ghosts nurtured within it, burning away impurities, enhancing their aptitude, and allowing them to reach higher levels.

If the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts couldn't withstand it, they would directly collapse and transform into pure ghost power, which would be devoured by other Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts.

The ghosts that could withstand the forging process grew together with the Soul-Capturing Banner. Each time the banner was burned, it would enhance the aptitude and potential of the ghosts.

"It's ready!"

As he spoke, Zheng Yi's eyes burst with brilliance, and countless spiritual energy gathered in his pupils, forming the technique of the Spirit Eye, allowing him to see through the core essence behind the illusions.

In his gaze, within the huge cauldron, the rolling Soul-Capturing Banner emitted traces of black gas, which were impurities surging out of the banner.

At the same time, Zheng Yi remained calm and composed, as if he had performed this step countless times before. He skillfully placed the prepared materials into the forging cauldron one by one.

Each material was refined into various liquids, which were finally gathered into the cauldron, forming a silver pill that rolled back and forth like mercury in the forging cauldron.

With the last piece of silver ore mother being thrown in, Zheng Yi increased the output of his spiritual power, stabilizing the temperature of the entire demonic fire, while closely watching the cauldron.

After a moment, a violent cracking sound was heard.

Under the high temperature burning, the silver ore mother directly split into pieces, and the essence extracted from it was a peculiar silver liquid.

This liquid merged with the lead-mercury metal formed by the previous materials, instantly boosting the momentum of the Soul-Capturing Banner in the cauldron.

Seizing this opportunity, Zheng Yi immediately manipulated the Soul-Capturing Banner, flying up and pointing his finger while chanting incantations.

All the liquid materials merged into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

At this moment, the originally delicate and small banner completely lost control, violently expanding, instantly swelling to half a meter in length.

Then, as the aura continued to rise, the Soul-Capturing Banner suddenly expanded again, reaching a height of about one zhang.

It quietly floated in the center of the cauldron, and the black surface of the banner was covered with golden silk embroidery, forming peculiar fierce ghost patterns.

At the end of the banner's pole was an extremely sharp convex surface, like a blood-stained spear, covered in blood-red color, directly pointing under the ceiling.

Fortunately, the cauldron was large enough, and only a corner of the banner was exposed, without bursting.

Zheng Yi's expression turned serious, as he knew that this was the most critical moment of the refining process.

The Black Sha Art within his body erupted to its maximum extent, and the dark green flames directly surged, doubling the intensity of the flames in the cauldron.
