In the Celestial Empire, many Taoist priests who deal with zombies have one skill, and that is to practice corpses.

Refining zombies with their own essence and blood, let them be used for their own use, how strong are zombies, green-haired zombies can kill the strongest humans in seconds, if it is black hair and purple hair, then it is not heavenly?

But!

The risk of practicing corpses is too high, and if you are not careful, you may be attacked by pet zombies, in fact, most of the corpse practitioners are bitten to death by their own zombie babies.

Practicing corpses can be divided into two kinds according to the general division, one is a kind of rune, which is the most used method, take the pre-carved talisman and paste it on the zombie's head, and then use props such as the soul bell, you can control the zombie's every move, but the practice of directly pasting the yellow strip is really low-end, an ordinary person can tear it off, the flaw is too big, that is, during the Qing Dynasty, the vitality of heaven and earth fell to the freezing point, and the Taoist priests cultivated too poorly, so they can only use this method.

In ancient times, Taoist priests generally planted talismans directly in the zombies' heads, using vitality or essence blood as a medium to draw talismans, and then directly ingested them into the zombies' brains and then controlled them.

Zombies controlled by the kind of runes are generally the least likely to betray, but their strength can't play one or two, because they are robots, their own consciousness is completely suppressed, and they can only mechanically carry out the master's orders, and they don't know how to hide in case of danger, and they can't even hide from obstacles, and they can trip when they walk, so zombies are not strong even if they are controlled.

There is another method that is powerful, this method can fully exert the strength of zombies, and that is the blood refining method used by Zhang Li.

With its own essence and blood as the medium, it is fused with the original spirit of the zombie, so that the refined zombie will treat you as your own previous generation of zombies, as I said before, the person bitten by the zombie has a high chance of becoming a zombie, and the zombie that bites him is the main one, this is the relationship between the upper and lower generations, just like the relationship between father and son.

The blood refining method is like this, the refined zombie will treat you as his parents, and be instinctively close to you, but this is not completely safe, I just said, most of the corpse practitioners are bitten to death by their own zombie babies, if the next generation has the strength to surpass the previous generation, and then the previous generation also orders them to do what they don't like to do, why do they have to obey the orders of the previous generation?

Zhang Li was using the blood refining method just now, and he didn't know how to plant talismans, after all, he couldn't draw talismans, but fortunately, the principle of this blood refining method was very simple, and Zhang Li would know what was going on after listening to it, otherwise he wouldn't have the idea of practicing corpses.

First of all, the corpse practitioner must use his own spiritual power to defeat the consciousness of the zombie, the spiritual power is also the ghost energy, with the reduction of the vitality of heaven and earth, the Taoist priests can only make a fuss about the energy that is easier to obtain, and later many Taoist priests are majoring in spiritual power, and the best can even do the Yang God, that is, the degree of the soul out of the body.

In fact, if the corpse practitioner itself has some supernatural energy, it can also add these energies, as long as it can cause damage to the zombie's consciousness.

Using mental power to defeat the zombie consciousness is the first step of the blood refining method.

This step isn't necessary, but basically no one will skip it, because if the zombie has its own consciousness, it will kill you even if there is an instinctive closeness between the two of you after the training is over.

It's like adopting a child, adopting a little baby who doesn't know anything is completely different from adopting a half-grown child who can already remember.

The reason why it is not necessary is because it cannot be ruled out that some zombies are voluntarily refined, but since everyone has already voluntarily followed you, why should they be refined.

Defeating the consciousness of zombies is the most dangerous step, after completing this step, it is the fusion of essence blood and zombie primordial gods, this fusion may last for many days, if it is a very strong zombie, it may take seven seven or forty-nine days to practice, during this time, the only thing that the practitioner should pay attention to is the supply of yin qi, which is why Zhang Li used candles to place the Yin Gathering Array.

In several key nodes of the Yin Gathering Array, several blood basins are placed here, which are full of animal blood, in fact, human blood is the best, but human blood is not easy to get.

Now, this blood is strangely converted into gas, slowly flying into the body of the undead in the middle, Zhang Li estimated the time that the blood basin can be maintained, and then left the laboratory, the blood in the Yin Gathering Array is not easy to coagulate, as long as he maintains the supply of the blood basin, he will know in a few days whether this necrosis has any effect on the undead.

..................

The waiting days are always long, but fortunately, Zhang Li is not just about this one thing, he still has a lot to do.

As a councillor, he only needs to hold a meeting with other councillors once a week, and in this feudal society, there is nothing important for them to do personally, they only need to decide the general direction, and other things will be done for them.

And every councilor here is also a lord, Zhang Marcus and the others must also familiarize themselves with their new territory as soon as possible, especially Zhang Li, there is still a robber den near his territory, and he must try to solve it as soon as possible.

So on this day, a certain notice in Stormwind City caused a lot of public opinion.

It was a notice from the Baron of Crystal Lake to recruit private soldiers, and the treatment of private soldiers was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, twenty silver coins a month, and the officers were counted separately.

The salary of being a soldier is much higher than that of a peasant, after all, it is a profession that plays with life, and the reason why such an ordinary notice will arouse public opinion is because of the conditions behind it.

It promised that as long as you become a soldier of this baron, in case you die in battle, he will not only pay the relatives of the martyrs an extra amount of condolences equivalent to three months' salary of the soldiers, but also unconditionally support the families of the martyrs.

The inability to work will be raised to death, the incapable children will be raised to adulthood, and a series of compensation measures for widows and other immediate family members are absolutely unprecedented for the people of Azeroth.

In the feudal era of Azeroth, subjects had to serve in the military, and when they died, your lord would give your family a little condolence money at most, and the lords felt that they didn't owe you anything, after all, you became their subject and received better treatment than a free person, so you had to pay the corresponding responsibilities and risks, which is not a matter of course for most people here.

Not to mention the death of the mercenary of the free man, you are not my person, and I still raise you a yarn.

So you can imagine what kind of turbulent waves this novel notice set off in Stormwind City, as soon as the notice came out, the free people didn't say anything, and those nobles came up first.

Originally, our radishes were all three dollars a pound, and you suddenly came out with a three cents a pound, what do you mean by this, suddenly breaking the rules of the game, how do you let others play games?

However, the king couldn't manage the internal affairs of other people's territories, and they couldn't manage it even more, Zhang Li completely ignored their demands and protests, and still went his own way, which angered many people, and it is conceivable that the aristocratic circle that had rejected him was now even more so.

But who cares, Zhang Li's ultimate goal is not to be a part of them, so he won't go out of his way to lick their butts.

In this way, Zhang Li recruited his first batch of private soldiers, a total of fifty young and middle-aged men.

PS: Practicing corpses is not as simple as what I wrote, it is said that the real corpse training has to pick the corpse, that is, to choose the right corpse for the birthday, Yin Shi Yin carved and the like, and then do something with chicken blood or crow blood, and bury it in the soil, the thickness of the soil layer is also required, there may be steps behind, and there are many taboos and the like, but this is not supernatural, you can only write a simple point, forgive me.
