Chapter 524: Contact
After repeated attempts at charging the core with Earth Malevolent Qi and Celestial Gale Qi, all the signs Qin Sang observed matched perfectly with the descriptions left behind by Wu Shang and his own experience crafting the flying yaksha. Although he had yet to succeed, Qin Sang had already confirmed that this secret art was indeed feasible!
The continuous failures stemmed from one issue: the amount of Divine Qingyang Gale was simply too little!
Even if Shi Ying handed over every wisp of Divine Qingyang Gale she brought back each time, it still was not enough for the process.
Moreover, Shi Ying dared not enter the mountain frequently, and Qin Sang could not afford to wait indefinitely.
First, the corpse qi could not be suppressed forever. Second, Qin Sang discovered that the fusion between Celestial Gale Qi and Earth Malevolent Qi was highly unstable. He suspected that once the secret art began, it could not be interrupted midway.
It seemed he would have to personally infiltrate Divine Gale Peak.
The barrier he had placed within Shi Ying's body would automatically lift once he left the vicinity of the Demonic Qingyang Sect, allowing her to awaken.
During Qin Sang’s time within the Demonic Qingyang Sect, Shi Ying would remain in deep slumber inside the cave dwelling.
She had no close friends, and Qin Sang would seal the cave dwelling with barriers, indicating that the occupant was in seclusion cultivating, so there was little risk of her strange condition being discovered.
Shi Ying lay quietly on the bed, the gloom between her brows fading away, sleeping soundly like an infant, completely unaware of anything around her.
Qin Sang reached out and opened her Mustard Seed Pouch, destroyed the tampered secret art he had planted inside, and retrieved the Qingfu Coin, the Xutian Thunder, and several Lesser Yin Magnetic Bottles. As for the other items, he left them untouched, considering them as Shi Ying’s payment.
Moreover, those artifacts would be useless on Divine Gale Peak. He needed to focus entirely on executing the secret art and could not spare the effort to protect artifacts. Only the Xutian Thunder, being of astra quality, could withstand the chaotic vital energy atop Divine Gale Peak.
