Three days later, Zhang Ling returned to his cave.
As soon as he returned to the cave, Zhang Ling entered the cultivation quiet room and began to study the Fiend Demon Art, a cultivation method for demon refiners.
This research took a full two months, and this cultivation method is indeed a top-level cultivation method for demon refiners.
It not only contains a relatively complete set of cultivation formulas, divided into seven layers, but also more than a dozen matching secret techniques. The power of these secret techniques seems to be considerable.
In addition to the complete Fiend Demon Art, the jade slip also contains many common spells used by demon refiners. This jade slip was a bonus.
This can be regarded as Zhang Ling getting some benefits, saving him the time to collect these spells.
The "Demon Refiner" cultivation path has many similarities and differences with that of cultivators.
However, during the research, Zhang Ling also confirmed a long-held guess.
The current demon refiner(炼妖师: Demon Refiner) inheritance in Liuyun Sea is indeed the result of research by some ancient body cultivators.
Its original core was body refinement techniques. The so-called body refinement technique is the cultivator's exercise of the physical body.
Ordinary cultivators mainly focus on Qi refinement, while demon refiners are a branch of body cultivators, naturally focusing on the physical body.
It is said that the reason why demon refiners have been able to inherit this path to this day is because of an ancient force called the Heavenly Demon Sect.
This Heavenly Demon Sect developed the path of demon refiners by studying the cultivation methods of body cultivators and the demon clan.
The demon clan refers not to demon beasts, but to those transformed demon beasts with amazing magical powers, comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators.
It is said that many human cultivation methods are created by drawing on the demon clan or other alien races.
The main reason why demon refiners can inherit to this day is that they can allow cultivators to quickly gain power.
Especially for those with poor aptitude, the cultivation methods of demon refiners are easier to cultivate than immortal cultivation methods.
Demon refiners can use the power of demon beasts to greatly increase their cultivation progress.
Among them, the Demon Transformation Secret Technique, the fusion of demon souls, and even the most bizarre secret technique can combine with demon beasts to become true half-human, half-demon beings.
Cultivators pursue strength, and quickly increasing strength is the wish of all cultivators.
However, becoming a half-human, half-demon monster is still rejected by most cultivators.
The cultivation of demon refiners is like this, which is an important reason why the human race does not like demon refiners.
At the same time, this is also a defect of the demon refiner's cultivation method. Using the power of demon beasts to quickly increase cultivation will also be counterattacked by the power of demon beasts.
This is unavoidable for all demon refiners. It is said that even some high-level demon refiners will become confused and bloodthirsty as a result.
Of course, there are also some advanced demon refiners comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. There are three demon refiner experts on Remnant Moon Peak who are comparable to Nascent Soul strength.
After understanding the entire inheritance of the demon refiner, Zhang Ling decided to cultivate this Fiend Demon Art.
Of course, he will not focus on cultivating this cultivation method, but is interested in one of the secret techniques.
It records a kind of avatar technique called "Fiend Demon Avatar".
After seeing the introduction of this technique, Zhang Ling couldn't help but be a little moved. He basically has the cultivation conditions for this technique.
It seems that this Fiend Demon Avatar secret technique was prepared for him.
The strange vines and corpse bear parasitizing him are excellent materials for cultivating this technique.
The so-called avatar technique is not a real avatar technique. But only top-level secret techniques generally do not have this kind of secret technique.
Cultivating this secret technique can condense an avatar with cultivation. This avatar is not only equivalent to adding a helper in battle.
Moreover, it can also cultivate some special cultivation methods to increase cultivation. It can be regarded as a spiritual puppet that can cultivate.
The most critical thing in cultivating this technique is to find a cultivator's body with spiritual roots that can cultivate. The body is best to be completely undamaged and without a soul.
This kind of body is very rare. A living body without a soul is a living dead.
It stands to reason that this kind of body is not difficult for cultivators to find. As long as some ghost path soul extraction secret techniques are used, it can be done.
However, although this method can obtain a complete body, the body will die immediately after being extracted, turning into a dead body.
Of course, the higher the original cultivation of the body being searched for, the higher the probability that it can remain undead for a short time after being extracted.
During this time, secret techniques can be used to refine the avatar.
However, this probability can be said to be one in a hundred. This is also the reason why few people can successfully cultivate this type of secret technique.
And this is just the first step.
Next, the cultivator must have a high enough cultivation base to perform the soul splitting technique. Then, the split soul is integrated into the body to refine the spiritual puppet.
Zhang Ling couldn't be more clear about the soul splitting technique. He had used it when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.
This step is the most dangerous. Once the refining fails, the split soul will dissipate on its own and can never be recovered.
At that time, in order to solve the soul-devouring insects in the sea of consciousness, he split a little soul. In the end, he was weak for a long time.
If it weren't for the mysterious pearl that could cultivate a kind of spiritual herb that could nourish the soul, he would not have been able to recover in a short time.
Cultivators who cultivate this technique do not have a strong enough soul. Lightly, they will fall into a long period of madness, and severely, they will directly become idiots.
The minimum requirement for this kind of secret technique is Golden Core or higher cultivation.
He now barely meets the requirements of this technique.
Of course, the soul that needs to be split to refine the avatar is not comparable to what it was at that time.
Even now, performing this technique is very dangerous for Zhang Ling.
These many restrictions are the reason why this type of secret technique is difficult to cultivate.
Of course, if you can refine an avatar, its strength can also increase rapidly. After all, a high-level puppet that can cultivate is a great advantage in battle.
And Zhang Ling just meets the requirements of this technique.
The vines on his body and the corpse bear puppet are ready-made materials. They meet the conditions of the Fiend Demon Art for cultivating the Fiend Demon Avatar.
Of course, the corpse bear is not a human body, but a zombie body formed by the psychic of a demon bear corpse.
This kind of monster is also recorded in the Fiend Demon Art, and it is also the spiritual puppet needed for this type of secret technique.
It's just that if this kind of spiritual puppet wants to be able to cultivate, then special hidden meridians must be opened up on the spiritual puppet to achieve the purpose of cultivation.
Hidden meridians are other hidden meridians besides the eight extraordinary meridians and other main meridians on the human body.
These meridians often have different uses depending on the cultivation method.
This is also a difficult point.
It would be easy if it were in the human body, but demon beast are different from humans, and naturally there are meridians on their bodies.
It's just that humans generally don't study demon beast meridians. However, Zhang Ling saw a special method of opening up hidden meridians in the Fiend Demon Art.
These opened hidden meridians must be coordinated with the cultivation method of the spiritual puppet.
As long as he opens up fifteen on the corpse bear, and cooperates with the main meridians that run during the evil cultivation process, that's all he needs.
These opened hidden meridians are to cooperate with the Fiend Demon Art to allow the corpse bear to cultivate this cultivation method.
And there is another special reason why Zhang Ling regarded the corpse bear as the refining body of the Fiend Demon Avatar.
