Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

That night, Wen Jiu instructed the East Spring Undying Bone to retrieve the cultivation technique from Bai Jianxin’s cave dwelling, accompanied by lavish gifts. Ye Chen and the other person informed him of this proactively. Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised; after all, there was no other option for Deadman Peak.

However, this move would inevitably sacrifice many people. The number of casualties would be fewer than in the Moon Extreme Sect, but still not negligible.

So, Wen Jiu suggested sending an advance team overseas first to confirm a foothold before making further plans. If there was a place to settle, they could quietly send people over within a year.

The Far West bordered the Mortal Land, with the ocean beyond it. Even if people were sent away discreetly, the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks wouldn’t know. After all, they never concerned themselves with the Mortal Land.

As for the issue of the sea being under the Three Life Gates’ territory, Wen Jiu didn’t find it significant. When the time came, he could ask Shankui and Feng Jue for Deadman Peak’s peace, which shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, what the Three Life Gates wanted were the Divine Fall Mountain Range, the Spirit Veins, the Blessed Lands, the Lands of Death, and other cultivation resources.

Not Deadman Peak.

However, Wen Jiu didn’t share this in advance with Ye Chen and the other person, since for sect powers, calamity wasn’t necessarily disastrous; it might even propel Deadman Peak further.

...

Soon.

The East Spring Undying Bone returned to Wen Jiu’s cultivation residence. Wen Jiu didn’t examine the lavish gifts closely since Deadman Peak currently had nothing else to offer but Spirit Stones, and they were out of Yin Evil Spiritual Medicines.

Even with just Spirit Stones, there were nearly a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to over a thousand middle-grade ones.

Not too few at all.

"The Elders are too courteous," Wen Jiu sighed, quickly storing them away.

Even if Eastern Celestial City didn’t provide Spirit Stones, he would have helped. But it felt rewarding to gain something for assisting.

Moreover, Eastern Celestial City didn’t take it for granted that his help was obligatory due to the favor of imparting techniques. Wen Jiu appreciated and admired this, which is why he was willing to offer Ye Chen and the other person some strategic advice earlier.

If things were exposed a year later and Eastern Celestial City found itself in trouble, unable to extricate itself, he was willing to assist them in escaping overseas.

Regaining his train of thought, Wen Jiu carefully went over the Three Thousand Smoke and Mist Techniques, and after confirming there were no issues, he handed it to his sister Wen Ya, reminding her not to tell anyone. Not even a word to fellow disciples.

Wen Ya nodded like a chicken pecking rice. After carefully reading the Three Thousand Smoke and Mist Techniques, her eyes tightened, fully understanding why it couldn’t be disclosed.

"Perhaps we should apply a Silence Technique?" Sister Wen Ya suggested quickly, feeling both delighted and apprehensive.

Such a female-focused cultivation technique must be of significant importance.

Her death wasn’t an issue, but she didn’t want to expose Wen Jiu and endanger her brother.

Wen Jiu shook his head, "No need."

"But without applying the Silence Technique, your sister won’t have peace of mind," Wen Ya insisted, determined not to let Wen Jiu leave without applying it.

Wen Jiu quickly reassured her with a few casual excuses. After all, the Three Thousand Smoke and Mist Techniques were just temporarily kept from Ye Chen and the other person. In the future, once Sister Wen Ya truly mastered them and was noticed by the two, Wen Jiu wouldn’t mind. By then, he might have a Golden Core Power, and disclosing his true identity to Ye Chen and Bai Jianxin wouldn’t matter.

Simultaneously, Wen Jiu also helped Sister Wen Ya restructure her cultivation plan, leaving behind some Protective Talismans, along with a Tier Two Lower Grade Body-Protecting Talisman and plenty of Spirit Stones needed to activate Talismans.

With Sister Wen Ya’s limited strength, not to mention using high-tier Talismans, just activating them would deplete her Dantian’s Magical Power in an instant, so only Spirit Stones could be used.

When Sister Wen Ya saw the storage pouch stacked with ten thousand Spirit Stones, she was speechless for a long time.

She was both happy and hesitant to accept them. Even though she had little experience, after living on Deadman Peak’s main summit for some time, she understood the concept of ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

Across the entire Deadman Peak, probably few could afford that.

But ultimately, under Wen Jiu’s firm insistence, Sister Wen Ya accepted them. Before leaving, she was smiling so wide her lips almost reached her eyebrows, "In the future, I’ll cultivate daily with Spirit Stones and use the Tier Two Spiritual Vein and East-coming Purple Qi; within ten years, I should reach the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation."

Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

That was a realm she never dared to dream of.

By then, she could freely fly with her mind.

Watching this scene, Wen Jiu felt a heartfelt joy, but the thought of losing this only relative hundreds of years later stirred ripples of emotion in his heart.

Yet this soon subsided because he understood that no one could remain by his side forever.

To walk alone.

To cultivate alone.

He would have to face it sooner or later.

After Sister Wen Ya left, Wen Jiu still used the excuse of seclusion, planning to head to the Little Demon Realm in a few days. If the Little Demon Realm was suitable, he would reside there for a while.

Before going to the Little Demon Realm, he needed to nurture corpses, and simultaneously foster the Earth Demon and the Ghost-faced Butcher.

If a single Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine could still provide five thousand experience points for leveling up, then using three such cultivations, both the Earth Demon and the Ghost-faced Butcher could be advanced to Tier Two.

After reaching Tier Two, the experience gained from the Five Ghosts and Law-Devouring Yin Insect would significantly increase, possibly reaching Tier Two with some time nurtured in the Little Demon Realm.

And he had acquired six full Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines from swindling Shankui and the others.

By using Yin Techniques to aid the Ghost-faced Butcher and Earth Demon in consuming one Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine each, Wen Jiu began nurturing with the Corpse Eye.

Upon activating the Corpse Eye and using the method to refine Tier Two Demons at that moment, Wen Jiu was delighted because, despite the Corpse Eye being a Tier Two Lower Grade Treasure, refining a Tier Two Demon corpse was still quite challenging.

After a whole night, consuming a significant amount of Yin Techniques, Wen Jiu barely managed to refine a Tier Two Demon corpse weighing two to three thousand jin.

However, the quality and quantity of Corpse Blood gained exceeded Wen Jiu’s expectations, totaling a thousand jin.

After spending two days refining all eight Tier Two Demon corpses into Corpse Blood, amassing eight thousand jin in total, Wen Jiu officially began nurturing corpses, finding the results even better than expected.

The Corpse Blood from Tier Two Demons provided one experience point per jin.

A single Tier Two Demon could provide the East Spring Undying Bone with over a thousand experience points.

After a few consecutive days of refining the entire six thousand jin of Corpse Blood, the East Spring Undying Bone directly advanced to the Middle Realm.

Tier Two Middle Realm!

Its Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body also gained six thousand experience points, a substantial benefit, though the breakthrough was still a long way off.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Two (Middle Realm 0/50000)]

[Bloodline: (East Spring Undying Bone 0/100000) — Evolution Path: Draugr!]

[Skills: Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body 6000/20000), Ghost Skill·Three Rivers Ghost Concealment Second Layer (0/1000), Blood Corpse Escape (Second Layer 0/1000)]

At the same time, as the East Spring Undying Bone advanced, cultivation feedback also followed, but Wen Jiu’s cultivation and Spirit Body were already perfect, unable to improve further. So the feedback manifested in a substantial boost to Wen Jiu’s Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.

Even without the East Spring Undying Bone’s perception, his own Divine Sense could cover an area of one hundred fifty-sixty miles. Yet, this was just a basic application; the true value of enhanced Spiritual Power and Divine Sense lay in Talisman-making skills. Theoretically, the stronger a Talisman Master’s Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, the higher the quality and success rate of the Talismans they could create.

With his current level of Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, he was likely unmatched by most Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Masters.

The comparison with Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Masters remained unknown since Wen Jiu hadn’t encountered any yet.

But it shouldn’t fall short.

Judging by Fang Xiaolin’s soul memories, even Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Masters in the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks could only cover around two hundred miles with their Divine Sense.

"Once the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse reaches perfection, and after establishing an External Foundation, I too can start planning for Foundation Establishment."

Wen Jiu was full of anticipation.

He decided to head to the Little Demon Realm the day after tomorrow.

But it was at that moment that Wen Jiu received another Sound Transmission from Feng Jue, inviting him to meet at Wind and Cloud Immortal City. As for the matter at hand, Feng Jue didn’t mention it, to which Wen Jiu replied succinctly:

Not going!

Here we go again.

Why can’t it be conveyed through a Sound Transmission Talisman?

"Nine times out of ten, it’s not something good, so he doesn’t dare say it in a Sound Transmission Talisman for fear of my outright refusal."
