The Yin Evil Qi continuously infiltrated Chu Nan's body, but it was all absorbed by the Yin Evil Celestial Eye hidden beneath his brow.
Once Chu Nan was certain that the Yin Evil Qi here wouldn't affect him, he took out the Qi Eye map given by Zhou Xiaohao and quickly confirmed his target.
The Wan Corpse Mountain is divided into three parts: the core, the inner perimeter, and the outer perimeter. The outer perimeter has the most Qi Eyes, numbering over a hundred, where the Outer Sect Disciples of the Spirit Corpse Sect use the Qi Eyes to nurture and cultivate Spirit Corpses.
There are thirty-six Qi Eyes in the inner perimeter, often used by the Inner Sect Disciples.
As for the core region, it has only nine Qi Eyes, where only elders dare to tread.
The deeper one goes, the stronger the Yin Evil Qi from the Qi Eyes becomes, making it more dangerous.
However, Chu Nan didn't care, the more Yin Evil Qi there was, the better it was for him.
He also wanted to know the limit of how much Yin Evil Qi the Yin Evil Celestial Eye could withstand.
Then, Chu Nan headed toward the core area's direction.
Passing through the outer perimeter, Chu Nan went straight to the inner perimeter. Shortly after stepping into the inner perimeter, he found a Qi Eye.
Not far away, a crack opened between rocks, spewing forth pitch-black Yin Evil Qi.
Due to the extreme cold of the Yin Evil Qi, a layer of frost formed around it.
Beside the Qi Eye sat a short-haired young man, a typical Spirit Corpse Sect disciple with dark circles under his eyes, though he didn't appear weak.
In front of him stood a Spirit Corpse with white hair.
As he continuously formed seals with his hands, a large amount of Yin Evil Qi surged into the Spirit Corpse, causing it to grow more white hair.
Chu Nan's presence quickly caught the attention of the short-haired young man, who frowned slightly in confusion: "An Inner Sect Disciple? I haven't seen him before."
Chu Nan ignored the other and directly took out his Purple Corpse.
His Purple Corpse was a low-grade one, the lowest in the category of Purple Corpses.
Upon seeing the Purple Corpse, the short-haired young man immediately lost interest, assuming Chu Nan was just an Outer Sect Disciple hoping to get lucky and promote his Spirit Corpse to a Flying Corpse in the inner perimeter.
But promoting a Spirit Corpse to a Flying Corpse isn't just about having enough Yin Evil Qi.
If a Spirit Corpse could evolve with sufficient Yin Evil Qi, the Spirit Corpse Sect should have many Undying Bones by now!
In reality, the amount of Yin Evil Qi is one thing, but the key is how a Corpse Refiner manipulates the Yin Evil Qi.
If a Corpse Refiner cannot perfectly control the infusion of Yin Evil Qi into a Spirit Corpse, at best, the promotion will fail, or at worst, the Spirit Corpse will self-destruct.
Many Outer Sect Disciples don't understand this, only focusing on absorbing Yin Evil Qi, which not only destroys their Spirit Corpses but can also backfire, preventing them from even becoming ordinary Martial Artists.
The short-haired young man then continued refining his corpse, while Chu Nan also began forming seals with his hands, channeling the surrounding Yin Evil Qi.
The Yin Evil Qi immediately surged toward Chu Nan, merging into the body of his Purple Corpse under his control.
Chu Nan noticed that the Yin Evil Qi within the inner perimeter's Qi Eyes was even more intense than that within corpses at the Cloud Sea Realm, which was astonishing.
He couldn't fathom how many people had died at Wan Corpse Mountain or what kind of beings could generate an almost inexhaustible amount of Yin Evil Qi.
As time passed, the short-haired young man suddenly frowned again, somewhat surprised in his heart: "What's going on, why is the Yin Evil Qi from the Qi Eye reducing, it shouldn't be."
The short-haired young man's goal was to promote his low-grade Flying Corpse to a mid-grade one, but he discovered that the surrounding Yin Evil Qi was somewhat insufficient, a strange occurrence for him.
He first looked at the Qi Eye, realizing that instead of lessening, even more Yin Evil Qi than usual was spewing forth.
But bizarrely, he couldn't draw the Yin Evil Qi to himself.
With questioning eyes, he followed the direction of the Yin Evil Qi's flow, and to his shock, he saw it engulfing Chu Nan like a waterfall.
Yet Chu Nan remained expressionless, his hands forming seals to continuously direct the Yin Evil Qi into the Purple Corpse.
The originally sparsely-haired Purple Corpse had completely transformed.
Covered from head to toe in purple hair, each strand over nine inches long, it resembled a purple monkey.
"My God, an Outer Sect Disciple controlling so much Yin Evil Qi is courting death!" The short-haired young man, even with items to ward off evil, was cautious when controlling it.
Even so, the Yin Evil Qi still affected him to some extent.
Yet this Outer Sect Disciple, Chu Nan, was fearlessly manipulating the Yin Evil Qi, totally unconcerned.
Even more astonishing, Chu Nan was engulfed by the Yin Evil Qi and appeared as calm as if he was soaking in a bath!
How can two corpse refining martial artists be so different?
"Who on earth is this guy? Could he possibly have some elder-gifted item to ward off evil?"
The short-haired young man knew some well-connected martial artists could obtain very rare items to ward off evil, much more effective than ordinary ones.
Yet, even so, he'd never seen anyone handle Yin Evil Qi so recklessly.
Boom!
After a stick of incense's duration, a booming sound came from within the Purple Corpse, all its purple hair shedding, revealing a layer of brand new white hair an inch long.
Chu Nan's Spirit Corpse successfully ascended to a Flying Corpse!
Breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Nan remained calm. For one with the Yin Evil Celestial Eye like him, promoting a Flying Corpse was an easy feat.
Less than three days after entry, he already had the qualifications to become an Inner Sect Disciple!
However, Chu Nan wasn't in a hurry to leave the Spirit Corpse Sect. He realized this place was a treasure trove for him.
With the inexhaustible supply of Yin Evil Qi, he could cultivate extremely powerful Spirit Corpses as his secret trump card.
More importantly, sufficient Yin Evil Qi could enhance the Yin Evil Celestial Eye's capabilities, a discovery Chu Nan had just made.
While others had to be wary in Wan Corpse Mountain, he, Chu Nan, felt like a dragon in the ocean, unrestrainedly swimming within.
"This fellow disciple, I am Zhao Lu, an Inner Sect Disciple under Elder Wang Xian. Who might you be, and why haven't I seen you in the Sect before?" the short-haired young man named Zhao Lu, curious about Chu Nan's peculiarities, proactively asked.
"Outer Sect Disciple Chu Nan, just joined a couple of days ago," Chu Nan calmly replied.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lu became even more convinced that Chu Nan had connections; promoting a Flying Corpse just days after entry implied an extraordinary background.
"So it's Junior Brother Chu, it's an honor, truly an honor," Zhao Lu complimented with a smile, mentally trying to recall if there was any elder named Chu in the Sect.
After a round of recollection, he realized there was no one by the surname Chu.
But soon, Zhao Lu's eyes widened again as he recalled that a prominent figure in the Spirit Corpse Sect was surnamed Chu, a figure surpassing all elders.
Staring in shock at Chu Nan, Zhao Lu thought in astonishment, "Rumor has it the Sect Leader's surname is Chu, could he be the Sect Leader's son?
