I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

His intention in placing Zhuge Xuanting and others in key positions is to use them as a benchmark, to convey the attitude of Ice Extreme Pass in valuing and treating talents well to the entire Zhuge family, attracting more outstanding Zhuge youths to come.

Later, Qin Tian and Zhuge Xuanting had a long conversation, setting down broad directions in many Domains.

After seeing off Zhuge Xuanting, Qin Tian finally had time to study the spoils he just acquired.

A flash of spatial fluctuation

Qin Tian arrived at the underground base

Bang

A coffin landed steadily on the ground, stirring up tiny stone chips and dust.

This Ghost Coffin is entirely dark and mysterious in color, its material is not ordinary wood, it resembles some kind of jade weathered by time, its surface filled with fine cracks like a dried-up riverbed, and each crack contains faint grey-black marks, remnants of past Spirituality now only leaving silence.

The coffin body is carved with complex and eerie patterns, the patterns twisted and intertwined, resembling ghosts and demons. You can vaguely see the ferocity and majesty of the past, but now all the patterns have lost their luster, turning gray and blurred, seemingly drained of all vitality, leaving only cold engravings, devoid of any Spirituality.

Qin Tian gently touched the coffin lid, he learned from the fragmented memories of the masked man that this Ghost Coffin was not a private treasure of the masked man but a cherished artifact of the Blood Demon Cult.

This time it was merely handed over to the masked man to assist in completing a task.

The specific origin of the Ghost Coffin has long been buried in the river of time, but judging from the material and ancient patterns, it is not something of this era.

In the previous battle, he had already witnessed the horror of the Ghost Coffin, if not for his possession of the two Holy Blood level talents, Divine Venerable and Soldier Immortal, he would not have escaped being mercilessly subdued.

Overall, the Ghost Coffin has several major functions.

The first function is to transform corpses and refine Corpse Puppets.

Just place the corpse in the Ghost Coffin, and it can automatically summon the power of evil to cleanse the corpse, remold the flesh structure, transforming it into a Corpse Puppet at their command.

The combat power of the Corpse Puppet is variable, depending on the corpse’s pre-death power level and the completeness of its preservation— the stronger the corpse’s pre-death power and the better its preservation, the higher the refined Corpse Puppet’s combat power.

This, in fact, shares similarities with his Dark Necromancy technique.

Secondly, the Ghost Coffin can absorb ambient Soul Power from the world or forcibly capture souls and trap them within the coffin.

Through erosion and refinement, it gradually removes the autonomous consciousness of the soul, keeping only the combat instincts, then injects these tamed Ghost Souls into the Corpse Puppet.

In this manner, the originally not intelligent Corpse Puppet, which only obeys commands, gains simple intelligence, can flexibly respond to battlefield situations, and becomes in the truest sense of the word a ”intelligent combat machine,” significantly improving its combat power.

The third function, sealing and suppression.

The Ghost Coffin itself is an extremely strong sealing treasure, only needing to activate the coffin body’s patterns to release bizarre sealing power, forcibly dragging the target into the coffin, then using the icy Spiritual Resonance inside the coffin to erode the target’s intelligence and flesh day by day, eventually becoming a Corpse Puppet.

Previously, the Blood Demon Cult relied on this sealing power of the Ghost Coffin to subdue strong enemies and deal with traitors.

Besides this, the Ghost Coffin also has a hidden function— absorbing Yin and Ghost Qi from the surroundings, as well as corpses atmosphere from battlefields, turning it into pure Yin power stored inside the coffin.

This Yin power is aggressively cold and deadly poison to ordinary Spiritualists, but for those practicing sinister Cultivation Techniques, it’s the highest quality nourishment.

If the Ghost Coffin was fully intact, aided by a vessel spirit, it could strongly suppress even Tier Eight Spiritualists, but having lost its spirituality and vessel spirit, its power greatly diminished, though not reduced to uselessness, it’s merely considered a good treasure.
