Chapter 87: Discovery (Please Vote, Please Collect)
```
Compared to the phantom shadows within the "Five Ghosts Soul Refining Banner," the copper corpse more closely resembled an perpetual motion machine, its strength being greater and its movements swifter.
The shortcomings of the copper corpse were also obvious; it lacked the ability to cast spells and engage in long-range attacks such as flying swords, making it a typical melee combatant.
Li Shiming took a giant axe out of his storage bag and handed it to the copper corpse.
The copper corpse, obedient under normal circumstances, took the axe.
Li Shiming, accompanied by the copper corpse, headed to a corner of the Cultivation Room where he first took out the Fiery Flame Sword and began cutting the wall with his channeled Spiritual Energy.
He dug very carefully, and soon chiseled out a one-cubic-meter-sized rock from the wall, which he perfectly stored in his storage bag.
He called for the copper corpse to dig downwards.
Using the copper corpse to create underground space not only lightened his own burdens but also served to train his control over the creature.
There were two ways to control the copper corpse: first, Li Shiming could issue a clear command to the copper corpse through the Blood Covenant, and the copper corpse would follow this command obediently.
For instance, if Li Shiming commanded the copper corpse to attack a particular target, then the copper corpse would rely on its own combat instincts to relentlessly attack that target until death.
Second, Li Shiming could control the copper corpse directly through the Blood Covenant, making it completely obedient like a puppet under his manipulation.
