Beitang Han roared in fury, and from the thirty-six thousand pores across his body, blood energy erupted. His figure immediately swelled, as if inflated by a mighty force. His muscles bulged, resembling hard, unyielding rock. Veins rose and twisted beneath his skin, like furious, coiling dragons. White mist poured from his nostrils, resembling the breath of a serpent or dragon. He truly looked like a devil in human form.
"Die!"
Beitang Han howled, his fists hammering toward Chu Xuan's head.
Chu Xuan, seeing that his opponent didn't retreat but instead charged straight at him, revealed a pleased smile.
Good, good, good. It was common to encounter cultivators who fled at the slightest provocation. But it was rare to meet one who, upon disagreement, charged right into close quarters.
"You may not know, but I've dabbled in body refinement myself."
Chu Xuan smiled faintly. He raised his fist and struck.
Great Extinguishing Thunder Fist!
In that instant, the attack arrived before the sound, and with terrifying speed, his fist struck Beitang Han's face, right through his nose and skull. The force was like a steel hammer, unstoppable as it shattered Beitang Han's nose and pulverized his skull. When the punch stopped, Beitang Han's head was completely pierced through. Red blood, white brain matter, and shattered bone fragments mixed together, splattering in all directions.
Before Beitang Han's Nascent Soul could even attempt to escape, Chu Xuan gathered his spiritual consciousness and formed the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm, forcibly pulling out the Nascent Soul. Next came the usual routine.
Into the Heavenly Corpse Tower, the soul bound to the Sky-Shielding Umbrella. Since Beitang Han was also a competent body refiner, his physical body naturally attracted the Corpse Puppet's attention. For the three corpses of the Long, Hu, and Bao, this was an unparalleled feast.
Chu Xuan glanced at the bloodstains left on the ground and flicked his finger, sending a wisp of blood-scorching evil fire. The purple-black flames flared up as they touched the blood, quickly consuming everything in the area. In the blink of an eye, the blood and traces of the battle were turned to ash. Even a Deity Transformation cultivator would fail to detect any trace of what had transpired.
"These two clearly realized the importance of spiritual stones and headed straight to the spiritual stone mine."
Chu Xuan's expression was indifferent. With long strides, he entered the medium spiritual stone Mine. The mine had long since been abandoned, with no one left to guard it.
At the entrance were several Golden Core level puppets and puppet beasts that had been left behind. The rest were mining puppets, tasked solely with extracting spiritual stones.
Chu Xuan summoned the Heavenly Corpse Tower and the Sky-Shielding Umbrella.
The three Corpses emerged, swiftly destroying the guardian puppets. As for the mining puppets, they were left undisturbed, continuing their work of digging for the stones.
Four Arms and Two Arms, leading a large number of ghost generals, swiftly occupied various areas of the medium spiritual stone mine.
Chu Xuan soon arrived at the mine's warehouse. He gazed at the vast accumulation of medium spiritual stones in the warehouse, their Spiritual Qi so dense that it seemed to almost condense into solid form. A satisfied smile spread across his face.

"So many medium spiritual stones... A quick estimate shows at least two hundred thousand pieces. This is more than enough for me to break through to the eighth level of Nascent Soul in one go."
With a wave of his hand, Chu Xuan stored all the medium spiritual stones into his storage bag.
"This place is entrusted to you," he instructed. "Make sure no one approaches the mine."
"Understood!" The three Corpse King, along with the two Ghost Kings, all nodded solemnly.
