Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

”Arise.”

”In this entire Feixian Peak, besides you, I can’t think of anyone else to pass the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique to.”

Mu Canglong jested, then took out a black wooden box from his storage bag. With just one glance, Wen Jiu knew it was extraordinary. Although the corpse aura seeping into the box was not much, it was exceedingly thick.

Not the body of a Black Corpse.

Its richness, and the fact that it hadn’t dissipated over many years, definitely originate from a powerful Walking Corpse.

The Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique given by Mu Canglong earlier had information on cultivating Walking Corpses, but lacked Tier One Middle Grade Yin Talisman Technique and the Yin Technique of the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, so Wen Jiu speculated that the contents of this box were likely these things.

Perhaps, there was also the Cultivation Technique after the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer. If so, it would save him the trouble of seeking them out in the future.

Mu Canglong’s face darkened, ”Boy, remember my words; never act hastily and always remember to cut off when necessary. The Left-Handed Arts drain life span excessively and cannot last long.”

”Your subordinate understands!”

Wen Jiu nodded.

Just as before, he spoke no more.

Not fearing Yin aura, death aura, or corpse aura—this was one of his biggest secrets.

So even when receiving the grace of Mu Canglong’s imparting techniques, Wen Jiu wouldn’t reveal this matter.

”Inside, there’s also a Yin Talisman Secret Technique my father acquired in his early years called Yin Talisman Truth. Go ahead and open it,” Mu Canglong signaled, and Liu Xiao immediately stepped forward, taking it and handing it to Wen Jiu.

As Wen Jiu took the wooden box and opened it, besides the two black booklets, there was also a brush.

A talisman brush.

But it was different from a normal talisman brush, which is usually a thick brush type, while this one was very thin.

Like a painting brush, with a very fine tip.

The material used was also unusual; the pen shaft was a black slender bone, not human, not a Spirit Beast, but more like some kind of demon, for the aura it emitted was as sinister as the corpse aura.

The bristles were equally unusual; each hair seemed to have its own life, swaying slightly. The aura it emitted was extremely eerie, and Wen Jiu couldn’t figure out any clues.

”This is a Tier One Middle Grade Yin Talisman Brush, part of the Yin Talisman Truth. My father often said it’s the only tool that can draw a true Yin Talisman,” Mu Canglong gazed at the talisman brush, reminiscing, with a hint of melancholy in his expression.

Wen Jiu couldn’t help picking up the talisman brush, immediately feeling the difference from a normal talisman brush upon contact.

Normally, a talisman brush is a carrier; when drawing talismans, the Yin Technique needs to be sent from the Dantian into the talisman brush, arriving at the tip of the brush, then the talismanic patterns are carefully outlined stroke by stroke.

But the Yin Talisman Brush was different; as soon as it was in hand, it began drawing out Wen Jiu’s Yin Technique, like a leech. Once the Yin Technique was absorbed, it was stored within, allowing the user to just focus on controlling the Yin Talisman Brush without using Divine Sense to meticulously manage the Yin Technique’s output from the Dantian.

Don’t underestimate just skipping one step; in talisman drawing, it completely turns the tables, allowing him to use all his Divine Sense to control the talismanic pattern drawing, drastically increasing the success rate.

Divided attention is never as good as undivided focus.

”Thank you, Steward Mu!”

Wen Jiu rejoiced.

With this brush, his talisman drawing success rate would likely reach a new level.

Suffice it to say, for this brush alone, Wen Jiu should go pay his respects to Elder Mu’s grave.

Seeing Wen Jiu’s overjoyed reaction, Mu Canglong instantly understood, ”Have you already begun drawing Yin Talismans, kid?”

Wen Jiu adhered to the principle of hiding seven parts and revealing three as he replied, ”Reporting to Steward Mu, yes, at present, your subordinate can barely draw a Tier One Lower Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman, but the success rate is low, with only occasional success.”

Upon these words.

Mu Canglong and Liu Xiao’s expressions suddenly changed.

Good heavens.

How long has it been?

This kid is cultivating corpses, advancing to Qi Cultivation Second Layer, and now becomes a Tier One Yin Talisman Master.

A Talisman Master is not the same as Qi Cultivation. In Qi Cultivation, even with an inferior spirit root, one can start; though progress may be slow, time can be taken. But a Talisman Master requires intuition, talent, and comprehension, all indispensable.

If it can’t be done, it can’t be done.

Time alone doesn’t help either.

”Your Heterodox Talent is truly astounding... It’s a pity you weren’t born in the best era,” Mu Canglong couldn’t help sighing, ”If you were born fifty years earlier, in the lineage of Deadman Peak’s Heterodox Dao, you’d surely be outstanding. Sadly, now that Deadman Peak still retains some left-hand heritage, after a backstab and defection by the Heterodox Lineage and the Blood Robe Tower chaos, nobody at Deadman Peak is fond of Heterodox Cultivators, since every living cultivator at Deadman Peak has three to five relatives killed by Heterodox Demons.”

”I see.”

Wen Jiu realized.

And felt quite helpless.

Mu Canglong comforted, ”Nevertheless, Deadman Peak can still accommodate you, don’t worry... Since you’ve become a Tier One Yin Talisman Master, giving you this Black Bone Yin Talisman Brush is just the icing on the cake.”

”Thank you, Steward Mu!”

Wen Jiu bowed in gratitude.

Then, Mu Canglong switched topics, ”Besides, there’s also a Corpse Nurturing Secret Technique, accidentally obtained by my father, called Three Evils Corpse Nurturing. My father talked to me about using a specially-made Corpse Nurturing Coffin with the Three Evils Technique, making it exceedingly effective, and the cultivated Walking Corpse is several times more powerful than ordinary ones, known as Three Evil Corpses, overwhelming in the Middle Realm against the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation... This should suit you perfectly, even my father couldn’t match your Corpse Nourishing Talent.”

”Steward, you praise me too much.”

Wen Jiu replied modestly.

Then his gaze fell on a black booklet.

It was inscribed with the words ’Three Evils Corpse Nurturing’!

Wen Jiu glanced at it briefly, instantly captivated by the unique and powerful corpse nurturing technique it contained.

Compared to his previous corpse nurturing method at the Corpse Remains Death Land, it was nothing short of primitive.

Mu Canglong smiled bitterly, ”Put it away; in this mission to pursue the Blood Robe Tower remnants and investigate the Peak Master’s death, I’m unsure if I’ll return alive, if I’ll witness your further progress... but I hope you, kid, can carry forward the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique and not let it perish.”

Wen Jiu accepted it into his storage bag and spoke with a thoughtful expression, ”Steward Mu and Brother Liu must be blessed with great fortune, not only returning successfully but also uncovering the truth, advancing step by step!”

”I’ll take your auspicious words, kid.”

Mu Canglong smiled satisfactorily.

Then spoke again, ”However, what I gave you doesn’t include the Cultivation Technique after the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer; if you one day reach the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer and wish to advance further, you must visit the main peak of Deadman Peak to find a Cultivation Technique called the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.”

”Yinzhou Heterodox Record?”

”Because my father’s idea to create the Yinzhou Corpse Nourishing Technique originated from the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, which is a true Heterodox Foundation Establishment Technique, of which corpse nurturing is just a minor branch.”

Mu Canglong explained, yet did not disclose that no one had succeeded in cultivating it for a hundred and fifty years. Almost no Heterodox Cultivator could live to Qi Cultivation Great Perfection to achieve Foundation Establishment.

The Heterodox Dao progresses fast, but a short lifespan is the price to pay.

He refrained from mentioning this because Mu Canglong knew Wen Jiu would never abandon the Heterodox Dao; perhaps with his talent, he could, like his father, discover his own path in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

As for Foundation Establishment...

Honestly, Mu Canglong didn’t dare imagine.

In his opinion, for Wen Jiu to cultivate to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation would already be commendable.

For although Wen Jiu’s Heterodox Talent was strong, he ultimately had only an inferior Spirit Root.
