Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Copper Coffin Dao Patterns

The two puppet corpses in the Nascent Soul realm, which had lost control, moved sluggishly and retained only half their combat power, naturally posing no threat to He Wujie.

He Wujie easily subdued the two puppet corpses and then tightly bound them with the tendons extracted from a Holy Rank Fire Bull Rhino, rendering them immobile.

The tendons drawn from a Holy Rank Fire Bull Rhino were exceptionally tough; once a typical Nascent Soul realm expert was bound by them, escaping was nearly impossible, let alone two lifeless puppet corpses devoid of self-awareness.

"They’re all yours."

He Wujie pushed the two puppet corpses in front of Fang Bai, urging him impatiently, "Quickly use your Corpse Refinement Technique. I want to see how you, young man, control these two Nascent Soul realm puppet corpses!"

In He Wujie’s mind, if Fang Bai could truly control these two puppet corpses, he would have two powerful allies, and in the future, even when encountering a genuine Nascent Soul realm expert, there would be no fear and he would have the strength to contend with them.

However, He Wujie still found it hard to believe that Fang Bai, with his mere Foundation Establishment perfection cultivation level, could control two puppet corpses in the Nascent Soul realm.

One must understand that for a martial artist to control puppet corpses stronger than themselves, it wasn’t just a matter of knowing the Corpse Refinement Art; a sufficiently strong divine sense was also necessary.

Fang Bai approached the two puppet corpses and, with lightning-fast hands and a secret corpse refinement technique, forced out a drop of blood essence and a strand of divine sense belonging to an old couple that was integrated into the puppet corpses. Then, he infused his own blood essence and divine sense into the two puppet corpses, becoming their new master.

"It... it’s that simple?"

Seeing Fang Bai busy patting and hitting on the puppet corpses before untying the binding tendons, and the puppet corpses obediently standing still after that, He Wujie walked up, circled around the two puppet corpses, and asked.

"If Master doesn’t believe it, you can try."

Fang Bai said, and with a thought, the two puppet corpses under his control suddenly launched a fierce storm of attacks towards He Wujie, unleashing overwhelming power and intent, locking onto He Wujie, who had no chance to escape even if he wanted to.

Caught off guard, He Wujie found himself scrambling to defend. Knowing he couldn’t match the puppet corpses, he retreated rapidly, shouting loudly, "Stop! Stop! You brat, I’m still recovering from serious injuries and can’t withstand such attacks!"

Fang Bai laughed heartily, sending a signal with his divine sense to cease the attack, and the puppet corpses stopped instantly, maintaining their attack posture.

He Wujie let out a long breath, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and looked at the puppet corpses with lingering fear, saying, "Disciple, these two puppet corpses in your hands somehow seem stronger than before?"

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Perhaps the Corpse Refinement Technique I learned is more advanced than that of the old couple!"

He Wujie let out an "Oh," then said, "Um... disciple, do you think your Corpse Refinement Technique would be something Master could learn?"

With growing interest in this secret art after watching Fang Bai easily control the two Nascent Soul realm puppet corpses, He Wujie’s desire to learn it was undeniable.

Previously, after a fierce battle with that old couple that left him heavily injured, he thought that if he had had a puppet corpse of the same realm to assist, he might not have ended up so humiliated—he might even have defeated his opponents.

Moreover, as he journeyed across the vast worlds, having one or two puppet corpses accompanying him would leave him unafraid even when confronted by martial artists stronger than himself.

However, as a master, asking a disciple to learn a secret technique made He Wujie feel a bit embarrassed, thus, he displayed a hint of "bashfulness" when mentioning, "Could Master learn it?"

Fang Bai easily saw through He Wujie’s thoughts and replied with a smile, "Master, as a Nascent Soul expert with strong divine sense, learning the Corpse Refinement Technique wouldn’t be difficult. Once things here are settled, we shall delve into the technique together."

By saying "delve into it together," Fang Bai actually agreed to teach He Wujie the Corpse Refinement Art.

Overjoyed, He Wujie was utterly satisfied with this "considerate" disciple.

The disciple being generous and openhanded, while the master was not stingy or tightfisted; in his excitement, He Wujie gave Fang Bai some of the "Thousand Spirits Elixir" he painstakingly brewed, letting him have a few more sips.

Without the puppet corpses blocking their way, Fang Bai and He Wujie smoothly entered deeper into the giant tomb, and although they encountered some formidable traps along the way, all of them were effortlessly dismantled by the puppet corpses leading the way.

Inside the grand tomb was a large burial chamber with a copper coffin placed in the center. noveldrama

"Inside this copper coffin lies a high-rank Nascent Soul expert..."

Fang Bai and He Wujie read about the owner’s life engraved on a stone tablet in front of the copper coffin.

The owner of this great tomb was named Wu Qianling, a high-rank Nascent Soul expert who had fallen over ten thousand years ago.

Wu Qianling, during his lifetime, lived almost four hundred years before eventually falling due to his inability to make a breakthrough in cultivation, resulting in his lifespan being exhausted.

Before his death, Wu Qianling, to prevent his remains from being desecrated by later generations, chose his burial site in the core area of the rarely-entered Nether Corpse Land. Furthermore, after the construction of the grand tomb, he crafted the copper coffin using special materials.

On the day he sensed his life force waning, Wu Qianling set up formations and mechanisms inside and outside the tomb, then lay inside the copper coffin and sealed it, awaiting the arrival of death.

Wu Qianling never expected that more than ten thousand years after his fall, more than one person would enter his burial site.

Fortunately, the copper coffin holding his remains was engraved with intricate, profound array patterns that were extraordinarily firm, making it impossible for anyone to open until this day. Otherwise, whether his remains would remain intact would be a big question mark.

After reading the epitaph on the tombstone, He Wujie enthusiastically studied the array patterns on the copper coffin, knowing that unlocking these patterns would greatly increase their chances of opening the coffin.

Yet the array patterns were beyond He Wujie’s understanding, and after a moment of struggling to comprehend them, he had no choice but to give up. He then remembered his disciple, who was quite adept at formations, might have a way to crack it.

"Wu Qianling, a high-rank Nascent Soul expert! There must be a spatial spirit device placed beside his remains containing countless cultivation resources. Disciple, you are knowledgeable about formations, aren’t you? Come and see if you can decipher the array patterns on this copper coffin?"

He Wujie beckoned Fang Bai over and said.

Fang Bai walked up beside him, observing the array patterns for a few moments, discerning some additional elements from it, and sighed, "Master, I can decipher the array patterns on this copper coffin, but given that this expert has fallen more than ten thousand years ago, maybe we should refrain from disturbing his remains?"
