# Chapter 102: Baleful Qi, Recruitment
Baleful Qi has different qualities. The purer the condensed Baleful Qi, the higher the grade of the Core formed later.
Generally, Baleful Qi quality refers to the purity of Earthly Fiend Qi.
However, while Earthly Fiend Qi is the mainstream choice for Sha Condensation in the Jambudvīpa World, various sects and schools have also forged their own paths, choosing different types of Baleful Qi.
Within Heshan Dao, there are methods for collecting Corpse Baleful Qi and Yin Baleful Qi to condense Baleful Qi.
In the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit and Mass Grave Pit of ancient battlefields, corpses accumulate. When corpses combine with earth energy, they will condense Baleful Qi over time. If ordinary people stay in such places for too long, yin evil will enter their bodies, which can shorten their lifespan in mild cases. Those with weaker constitutions might even perish instantly when struck by this Baleful Qi.
This sinister Baleful Qi is called Yin Corpse Baleful Qi.
Many Demonic Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators, unable to find high-grade Baleful Qi, can only settle for this inferior Yin Corpse Baleful Qi to condense Sha.
However, the quality of Yin Baleful Qi collected from such Ten Thousand Corpse Pits, or Corpse Baleful Qi produced by thousand-year-old ancient corpses, is truly subpar.
Even if they successfully condense it and are lucky enough to form a Core later, limited by the quality of the Baleful Qi, forming a mid-grade Core is already a blessing from the heavens.
Most only manage a sixth or seventh-grade Minor Core, with no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
This is why Tang Song did not choose this type of Yin Corpse Baleful Qi for Sha Condensation.
Any type of Yin Baleful Qi or Corpse Baleful Qi, unless collected from the Extreme Yin Baleful Qi in the Yellow Springs, can guarantee the quality of the cultivator's Core Formation later.
As for the Extreme Profound Yin Sha, which Boss Tang regarded as his last resort, it is a method of collecting Baleful Qi from the Joyous Union Sect. The people of the Joyous Union Sect regard something from within the human body as Baleful Qi, using this 'human baleful qi' to replace Earthly Fiend Qi.
Using a method of union/harvesting, they collect threads of Pure Yin Qi to condense Extreme Profound Yin Sha.
The Extreme Profound Yin Sha condensed using this method is a level higher in quality than Yin Corpse Baleful Qi. Many True Inheritance disciples of the Joyous Union Sect used this to form top-grade Great Cores.
However, this method has extremely high requirements for a woman's constitution and cultivation.
To condense Extreme Profound Yin Sha, it often requires hundreds of female cultivators, harvesting and supplementing for over a decade.
Compared to other Sha Condensation methods, condensing this Extreme Profound Yin Sha truly requires painstaking effort.
However, although it's like grinding an iron rod into an embroidery needle, as long as one has patience, successfully condensing the Sha is not a problem.
In the history of the Joyous Union Sect, there was a Yao Cultivator who attained the Dao as an Other. It was a Green Fox spirit. Relying on its handsome appearance and the innate racial ability of foxes, it seduced hundreds of female cultivators and only took a few years to successfully condense Extreme Profound Yin Sha, making it one of the shortest Sha Condensation times among Joyous Union Sect disciples.
However, later, this unlucky Green Fox, while collecting Nine Heavens Gang Qi and attempting Gang Qi Refining, was ambushed by a strike of heavenly lightning and was directly struck into charcoal.
Because of the universality of this Sha Condensation method, it also became a Secret Not Passed Down of the Joyous Union Sect.
Disciples who are granted this Sha Condensation method will have a Spiritual Sense Seal branded deep within their Sea of Consciousness by the Joyous Union Sect's Sect Suppressing Treasure, the Joyful Union Bell.
If anyone attempts Soul Searching, or if a disciple leaks this Sha Condensation method, it will trigger a strike from the Joyful Union Bell across space.
As the Joyous Union Sect's Sect Suppressing Treasure, the Joyful Union Bell has already condensed its Primordial Spirit and taken true form. No cultivator below the Nascent Divinity stage can withstand a single strike from it.
However, just like Daoist Styx, Tang Song thought to himself, even if the Joyful Union Bell's force was strong, it shouldn't be able to chase him all the way to the Marvel Universe, right?
Looking at the pale-faced Fox, who was deep in sleep, Tang Song formed a Hand Seal with both hands. He drew out a wisp of greenish, nearly transparent Yin Qi from Fox's body.
He took out a white jade box from his Five Yin Pouch. Tang Song guided this wisp of Yin Qi, allowing it to slowly enter the jade box.
In her sleep, Fox didn't feel anything amiss. She just lightly hummed twice, hugged Tang Song like an octopus, and fell back into deep sleep.
Tang Song gently pulled out his arm, put on his bathrobe, and walked to the villa's terrace. Playing with the jade box in his hand, he looked down at the pitch black jungle.
Considering the situation in the Marvel Universe, Extreme Profound Yin Sha seemed to be his first choice.
However, Tang Song was still somewhat unwilling. Although Extreme Profound Yin Sha has a certain chance of forming a top-grade Great Core, the chance is pitifully small.
Moreover, Baleful Qi like Extreme Profound Yin Sha, obtained from women, is notoriously weak when used for Magical Combat, and the Daoist Techniques and Magic Arts cultivated from it are famously weak.
The Joyous Union Sect has never been ranked among the top twenty sects in the Jambudvīpa World.
While the Tianhe True Method cultivated by Tang Song is known as having the most profound Magic Power in the Jambudvīpa World.
If he could find a suitable Earthly Fiend Qi, Tang Song could cultivate several extremely formidable Daoist Techniques from the Tianhe True Method.
He just didn't know what attribute the mass of Earthly Fiend Qi in the Subterranean World had. It would be best if it were Metal Element or Primordial Magnetic Earth Baleful Qi.
For the former, Tang Song could continue to refine his Sword Pill and refine a set of Magic Treasure Sword Pellets called 'Twenty-Four Bridges and Moonlight Night'.
For the latter, if that Earthly Fiend Qi was condensed from Primordial Magnetic Essence Baleful Qi, and if he could also find Big Dipper Heavenly Gang, with Primordial Magnetic Essence Baleful Qi and Big Dipper Heavenly Gang cultivated in sequence, he could synthesize Arctic Primordial Magnetic Gang Fiend Qi. This Magic Power also has another name, called Innate Five-Colored Divine Radiance, a Grade of Gang Fiend Qi that is top-tier formidable even in the Jambudvīpa World.
He just didn't know if he could get what he wished for.
Tang Song looked at the jungle in the darkness. In the white jade box in his hand, faint wisps of green light were swimming.
In the darkness, a thread-thin black light escaped from the jungle and shot towards Tang Song.
Tang Song slightly raised his hand. The black light landed in his palm, transforming into a small and exquisite black snake. The little black snake rubbed its head against his palm and obediently crawled to his thumb, transforming into a black jade thumb ring.
Almost immediately after the black light, just as the little black snake transformed into the black jade thumb ring and settled on Tang Song's thumb, a streak of red light transformed into a Blood Shadow and landed in Tang Song's shadow.
…………
The next day, as dawn was breaking, several helicopters and cargo ships arrived on the island one after another.
Descending from the helicopters were over a dozen fully armed mercenaries. Judging by their attire and equipment, they were elites.
Tang Song saw the Stealth Shoulder Armor worn by the security personnel at the Auction on several of them.
These people were clearly Charles Bishop Weyland's confidantes.
These replicated Shoulder Armor pieces, suspected to be obtained from Alien Creature Technology, had a high technological level. At the very least, the one Boss Tang had in his possession, after finding some individuals known as 'tech gurus', still couldn't be replicated.
What the cargo ships transported were some equipment, weapons, and supplies.
Clearly, Charles Bishop Weyland was treating this place as a transit base.
It seemed that since everyone had arrived, Charles Bishop Weyland sat in a wheelchair, pushed by a black big man, and appeared before the crowd, telling the crowd about the purpose of this trip to Antarctica.
…………
"This alien creature is called an Alien!"
"It is a man-made killing weapon!"
"They will parasitize their youngling in the host's chest cavity, absorbing the host's nutrients, and finally burst out of the chest!"
In a conference room in the villa, the black big man under Charles Bishop Weyland pointed at the photos flashing on the projection screen, introducing the dangers of the Alien to the crowd.
A pitch black body that seemed forged from steel, a sharp tail, a hammer-shaped mouth dripping highly corrosive liquid, a streamlined body – from its appearance, it was a perfect killing machine.
Among the people present, even Storm Shadow, who had been holding his katana and stood proudly at the back, couldn't help but frown upon seeing the Alien's appearance.
In contrast, the soldiers he brought, who were wearing helmets, each one was expressionless, standing there like wooden dummies.
Tang Song sat in the front row with his legs crossed, looking at the Alien in the pictures, stroking the jade ring on his thumb. His look was as calm as if he were looking at a kitten or a puppy.
Judging purely from the strength displayed by these Aliens in the movies, these Aliens could only deal with ordinary people.
