Chapter 510: Selling Corpses
In the blink of an eye, several months had slipped by in Qingyang City.
During this time, Qin Sang had not been idle. He frequented major auctions, focusing on three main objectives.
First, he combed through the treasures in his Mustard Seed Pouch, selling off any artifacts that were ill-suited to him and trading them for ones more compatible with his needs, thereby enhancing his overall strength as much as possible.
Second, he gathered various pills used to treat corpse transformation.
Back then, Wu Shang had gone all in, turning himself into a living corpse without hesitation. He had no method to unravel the secrets of the Heavenly Corpse Talisman and paid no mind to the changes in his flesh. He only cared about forming a Golden Core.
But Qin Sang had the Jade Buddha with him, which resolved the greatest hidden danger of this secret art. As such, he wanted to mitigate the other risks as much as possible and avoid truly becoming a living corpse.
Foremost among these was the corpse transformation of the flesh.
Before he could refine the Golden Core into his body, he would first need to refine himself into a living corpse.
According to Wu Shang’s blueprint, once protected by the Celestial Gale Qi, this process wouldn’t risk true transformation.
However, before that point, when drawing Earth Malevolent Qi into his body to begin the transformation, his flesh would already suffer from the corrosive force of that energy, initiating a severe corpse transformation.
Such transformations could still be treated in their early stages, but if allowed to persist too long, recovery would become impossible. He would have no choice but to abandon his physical body entirely.
Wu Shang had already listed in detail the types of pills that could treat such conditions. While they were not extremely rare, they were still valuable. Now that Qin Sang had some wealth to his name, he spared no expense in preparing a sufficient stockpile.
