Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

The historical records that remain only mention the words Yinzhou and describe it as a place where the Heterodox Dao thrives.

Yanyue sighed, ”Perhaps the reason the Yinzhou Heterodox Record is difficult to cultivate is precisely because it is too ancient.”

”Very likely so.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

And just like that, the flying ship reached the main peak.

After seeing Wen Jiu off, Yanyue did not linger on the main peak but instead went directly to investigate the mysterious heterodox cultivator. In contrast, Wen Jiu, upon returning, went straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and did not go home.

In the following days, the rumor of Wen Jiu killing members of the Qi Family began to spread on Deadman Peak without effort.

Although Deadman Peak was currently experiencing turbulent times, Wen Jiu, being the personal disciple of the Elder and the only one who did not visit the Langhuan Blessed Land, was the subject of fast-spreading news.

In just two or three days, most people had heard of it.

Many marveled at Wen Jiu’s rapid cultivation progress and the strength of the corpses, considering how little time Wen Jiu had been in the sect.

But more people were skeptical.

Skeptical about whether Wen Jiu was advancing his cultivation excessively and if his days were numbered.

After all, heterodox cultivation inherently harms the body, and the faster the progress, the more damage to the body and foundation.

Overall, the number of people despising Wen Jiu for being a heterodox cultivator had decreased, since possessing such strength in the heterodox dao is impressive. For most people, the peak of their life might be at Wen Jiu’s current level.

During the height of discussions, both Li Mu and Shan Yue Ru came to find him, the former to congratulate Wen Jiu, and the latter out of surprise.

Even members of the Spirit Suppression Department, like Moqiu, were much more cordial towards Wen Jiu when he entered the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Overall, the changes were significant.

More and more people wanted to make his acquaintance.

However, since Wen Jiu spent his days in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and only returned home at midnight, he didn’t often encounter them.

...

Earth Treasure Department.

Having just returned from a battle outside, Xun Jiangxing almost spat blood in anger upon learning of this matter.

”If I had known earlier, I would have doubled the recruitment conditions back then.”

Xun Jiangxing was both angry and annoyed, especially when he thought about how he couldn’t even compete with Xiang Wenlong.

It made him even angrier.

”Master, maybe Wen Jiu is forcibly elevating his cultivation?” a disciple of Xun Jiangxing hastily consoled him.

Xun Jiangxing shook his head, ”It’s unlikely because that kid recently bought many things from the Earth Treasure Pavilion. Now it seems he used the Yin Five Elements Object for cultivation.”

”Using a Yin Five Elements Object worth over five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones is extravagant. Breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer isn’t surprising,” a disciple nearby marveled at Wen Jiu’s extravagance, while also being somewhat dismissive.

”He could also break through if given the entire fortune of two late-stage loose cultivators.”

”This kid is indeed extravagant, but don’t forget, those Three Evil Corpses have also reached the Middle Realm level. Qi Shan, at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, didn’t even have the ability to resist.” Xun Jiangxing sighed once more.

After his sigh, he decided to leave quickly.

If he delayed any longer.

Xiang Wenlong would surely arrive.

Thinking of this, Xun Jiangxing didn’t linger, but he was still a step too late.

Xiang Wenlong was already at the entrance of the Earth Treasure Department, carrying wine in his hand, his smile annoyingly wide.

”Scoundrel!”

Xun Jiangxing gritted his teeth in frustration.

Xiang Wenlong wasn’t annoyed; instead, his smile grew even more radiant. ”Why so much animosity, Fellow Daoist Xun? I just thought we could share a drink. After decades of friendship, can’t we even enjoy a cup together now?”

”Be careful yourself. After this battle, Wen Jiu’s reputation will surely soar, and he will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Celestial Left Alliance. If anything happens to him, Old Ye will surely tear you apart!”

Xun Jiangxing snatched the wine away.

Purple Gold Immortal Brew.

Not bad!

How can it only be a hundred years old?

Trash!

”Only one jar? So stingy.” Holding the wine jar, Xun Jiangxing walked inside as if he intended to drink the whole jar in one go.

Xiang Wenlong’s smile froze, and he quickly followed, ”If you dislike it, don’t drink it. I’ve changed my mind and won’t give it to you.”

”Alright, stop the nonsense. You’re not here just to show off, are you?” Xun Jiangxing couldn’t be bothered with further discussion.

Xiang Wenlong chuckled, ”You really understand me. To be honest, recently all the dire grounds guarded by the Spirit Suppression Department have been attacked by heterodox cultivators, whether they’re tribulation cultivators or loose cultivators. Even though they take off immediately after causing trouble, accidents still happen, so now many disciples of the Spirit Suppression Department are heavily injured and unable to leave the front lines.”

”It’s not only loose cultivators and tribulation cultivators, is it?” Xun Jiangxing frowned, feeling that loose and tribulation cultivators alone would not have such audacity.

Xiang Wenlong nodded, ”Of course, the shadows of many forces can be seen behind them, including the Three Sects and Five Peaks. Because the Celestial Left Alliance Leader has spread the news of the Peak Master’s death throughout the Far West.”

”Everyone’s kicking us while we’re down,” Xun Jiangxing said gravely, ”Just tell me what you need, and I’ll help as much as I can. I’ll have people buy up a large amount of talisman paper and demon blood ink in a few days to get more talismans made.”

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xun.”

Xiang Wenlong respectfully bowed with a serious expression.

Xun Jiangxing waved it off, ”No need for such politeness between us. Let’s just hope that the Peak Master can return safely; otherwise, those taking advantage of the situation will only increase. After all, there’s only one year left until the Celestial Extinction Ruins open.”

”Indeed, if the Peak Master doesn’t return before they open, our troubles will only multiply.”

Xiang Wenlong echoed the sentiment and then boldly requested three thousand bottles of Tier One Lower Grade Healing Elixir Pills.

Plus five hundred bottles of Tier One Middle Grade.

Xun Jiangxing, hearing his request, looked at the Purple Blue Immortal Brew clutched in his arms, ”You’re ruthless, bartering a hundred-year-old Purple Blue Immortal Brew for elixirs worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones.”

”Don’t want it? If not, give it back.”

”Scram!”

Xun Jiangxing said angrily.

Every little bit helps.

Besides, it’s not easy to extract stuff from Xiang Wenlong’s mouth, given the known impoverishment of the Spirit Suppression Department.

The department’s disciples spent years away, guarding dire grounds and cultivating blessed lands, with all expenses falling on Xiang Wenlong. If not for some gains from those grounds, the Spirit Suppression Department probably couldn’t afford to pay salaries.

”Give me three days to prepare the items... Stay safe.” Xun Jiangxing patted his old friend’s shoulder.

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

He always felt that the coming days would get tougher.

If the Peak Master didn’t return, it would be a devastating blow to Deadman Peak.

...

That night.

Wen Jiu received a message from the Gu Daoist.

Concerning the Great Elder Dongfang Tiancheng.

Great Elder Dongfang Tiancheng managed to endure for fifty breaths against fifty late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators and two Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Elders at Xiaoyan Mountain a few days ago. Consequently, their rival, the Peak Master of Xiaoyan Mountain, agreed to help refine the Ghost-Subduing Pill.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster was reportedly seen at Celestial Capital Peak, a necessary route in the Divine Fall Mountain Range to leave the Far West. Clearly, the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster was scared and intended to leave the Far West after learning about this.

Dongfang Tiancheng, dedicated to saving the disciple, dared to personally visit the main peak of Xiaoyan Mountain, so he would dare to chase down the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster to death in the Far West.

Notably, the following morning, Feixian Peak also received news of this, but the message differed completely from what was sent by the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster.

The message from Elder Bai Jianxin stated that the Great Elder single-handedly suppressed fifty late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators of Xiaoyan Mountain, including two at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. Thus, the Peak Master of Xiaoyan Mountain agreed to assist with the alchemy.

Suddenly, Wen Jiu’s small achievements were overshadowed, as everyone became invigorated by the Great Elder’s accomplishments.

Some even felt an adrenaline rush.

Many cultivators swore.

In the future, to become like the Great Elder!

”Indeed, some news is to be taken lightly.” Wen Jiu found the two versions of the story amusing.

But the truth didn’t really matter.

What mattered is.

The Great Elder is truly formidable!

With such an achievement, even if the situation with the Peak Master was unclear, the Celestial Left Alliance likely wouldn’t dare to be too reckless.

As Wen Jiu predicted, the Gu Daoist also received news from the Celestial Left Alliance about their members being low-key lately.

However, what Wen Jiu didn’t expect was that the Celestial Left Alliance Leader actually issued a bounty, specifically targeting him.

Alive.

A Left Essence Pill.

Dead.

Five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

[The second update is before midnight.]
