Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 242: Chapter 137: Blood Eater Daoist’s Secret Foundation Establishment, Celestial Official Bai’s Death and Dao Dissipation

”Thank you, Senior.”

Blood Eater Daoist couldn’t help but be overjoyed upon hearing this promise.

In this way,

it’s not entirely without gain.

Obtaining protection from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it’s only natural to make some sacrifices.

”I will return in a few days, make sure you have everything ready by then,” said the Three Evil Flying Corpses, then left directly with a Blood Corpse Escape.

Seeing this, Blood Eater Daoist was secretly startled and then paid his respects towards the outside of the cave abode, ”When Senior arrives, I will make sure the cave is meticulously cleaned and have prepared everything you require without the slightest mistake.”

Whether it could be heard or not,

Blood Eater Daoist felt that he must say what needed to be said.

As soon as the words were spoken,

Blood Eater Daoist quickly opened the cave abode with a beaming smile and approached Wen Jiu, ”Fellow Daoist Shiyue, thank you very much for this time.”

”That’s all?”

Wen Jiu feigned ignorance.

Blood Eater Daoist quickly recounted what had just happened, omitting any mention of the one backing him.

Seeing Blood Eater Daoist relaxed, Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

Indeed,

tactics win hearts.

In the future, he would have one more underling.

And one that didn’t require much effort, just a few empty promises to settle.

As for protection,

to be honest, if a cultivator he could face came to snatch something, even without Blood Eater Daoist’s words, he would act; if someone stronger came, then it would be best to flee. As for outside the Prohibition of Living People, whether Blood Eater Daoist lived or died had nothing to do with him.

However, if Blood Eater Daoist performed well, outside the Prohibition of Living People, it wouldn’t be impossible to assist once or twice.

After a few more idle chats, Wen Jiu took his leave from Blood Eater Daoist.

Blood Eater Daoist also hurriedly departed.

As for whether Blood Eater Daoist would report their matter to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator backing him, Wen Jiu was unconcerned.

As long as Blood Eater Daoist wasn’t foolish, he wouldn’t speak.

Being a Heterodox Evil Cultivator,

their expertise was precisely double-dealing, even triple or quadruple-dealing.

...

After returning to the cave abode,

Wen Jiu took out a Corpse Mushroom, then took out two Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines, intending to first cultivate the Earth Demon and Ghost-faced Butcher to see how much experience could be gained daily, and then inform Blood Eater Daoist of the monthly requirement of Yin Evil Spirit Medicine.

In this way, it could save a lot of expenses, as well as the time and effort required to cultivate Yin Evil Spirit Medicine.

Simultaneously, Wen Jiu also used a Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Feng Jue and learned from him about the one backing Blood Eater Daoist.

Just as he thought, this matter was indeed no secret, anyone observant could guess it.

The person behind Blood Eater Daoist was indeed the Guardian of the Far West — Fang Xiaolin, an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. About Fang Xiaolin, his background wasn’t simple, being a Direct Disciple of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Elder from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Because of this, those aware of Blood Eater Daoist’s affairs turned a blind eye, as no one dared to expose it.

”It seems I can’t be too harsh,” Wen Jiu decided after understanding the one behind Blood Eater Daoist.

If he pushed Blood Eater Daoist too hard,

Xu Xieshi Daoist might ruthlessly contact Fang Xiaolin. Even if not fearing Fang Xiaolin, Wen Jiu couldn’t continue meddling in the Prohibition of Living People.

As long as he didn’t push too hard, Blood Eater Daoist probably wouldn’t mind having another Foundation Establishment Cultivator protecting him.

At that moment, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh.

Indeed, it was more comfortable at the Foundation Establishment.

If he were merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, even such simple information would be challenging to inquire about.

Clearing his thoughts, Wen Jiu continued refining the Corpse Mushroom to feed the Earth Demon while the Three Evil Flying Corpses focused on erasing the Soul Mark within. Speaking of which, the soul Yanposhan had brought indeed proved somewhat troublesome.

Originally, he thought an ordinary Foundation Establishment could erase it with ease, but he didn’t expect its difficulty to surpass his expectations.

Thankfully, as the Three Evil Flying Corpses were built on a Blood Evil Dao Foundation, although laborious, it wasn’t entirely impossible to erase.

At most three days,

that Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Soul Mark could be erased.

In fact, Wen Jiu wanted to inquire about Fan Xun, the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who left the Soul Mark on Yanposhan, but after some thought, he decided not to ask, in case Feng Xuan might connect the dots in the future.

The death of Yanposhan, until now, attributed no blame to Deadman Peak in private, probably indeed deterred by the sect rules of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Thus, no need for excessive worry.

Soon enough.

The Earth Demon and Ghost-faced Butcher devoured the Corpse Mushroom and two Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines, speaking frankly, somewhat extravagant. However, the experience gained during the daily settlement didn’t disappoint Wen Jiu.

The Earth Demon devoured a three-hundred-year Tier One Top-Grade Corpse Mushroom, gaining three hundred experience points.

If he could consistently acquire Yin Evil Spirit Medicine in the future, just thirty-three Tier One Top-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines would lead to a promotion.

And the Ghost-faced Butcher, upon devouring two Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines, gained a total of one hundred experience points.

If nurtured only with Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine, two hundred would be needed. Though Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine could be bought, buying two hundred at once wouldn’t be easy, converting to Spirit Stones needed over one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Nearly comparable to Wen Jiu’s entire fortune at the moment.

Wen Jiu glanced at the experience information for both, feeling a bit helpless.

[Earth Demon (Tier One Top Grade 300/10000)]

[Ghost-faced Butcher (Tier One Top Grade 100/10000)]

Still poor.

Spending the entire fortune would only nurture one.

But fortunately, despite the poverty, with Blood Eater Daoist’s assistance, he could save quite a few Spirit Stones.

”How much monthly?” Wen Jiu pondered.

If too little,

it might not be worth it.

If too much,

it might force Blood Eater Daoist to a dead end, thereby drawing in Fang Xiaolin.

”Blood Eater Daoist could hand me one Tier One Top-Grade Corpse Mushroom freely, so one Tier One Top-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine or six Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines monthly shouldn’t be an issue,” deciding upon this, Wen Jiu went to see him the next day.

Blood Eater Daoist’s face drastically changed upon hearing of one Tier One Top-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine a month, but hearing it could be offset by six Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines, he sighed in great relief.

Yet he still looked troubled.

”Fellow Daoist Shiyue, could you possibly negotiate with Senior? Six Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines a month is indeed a bit much.”

To be honest.

If supplying only one person, with the Market’s speed of earning Spirit Stones, combined with the Yin Evil Spirit Medicines in the Prohibition of Living People’s core area, it would merely take some time and effort for six Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines a month to be manageable.

But the problem lies in another greedy mouth waiting to be fed, with nearly seventy percent of gains from the Market and the core of the Prohibition of Living People falling into its hands.

If another six Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines had to be handed over monthly, he would barely have less than ten percent left.

Just enough for cultivation usage.

How could there be talk of Foundation Establishment?

”Fellow Daoist Blood Eater, to be frank, this is the best result I’ve strived for. Originally, Brother Xie required nothing less than Tier One Top-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine, and no Tier One Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines whatsoever. He is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, unaware of how arduous it is for us Qi Refining Cultivators to find Tier One Top-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine...”

In the last sentence, Wen Jiu lowered his voice, showing considerable helplessness in his tone.

Looking at Wen Jiu’s helpless expression, Blood Eater Daoist felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, not believing Wen Jiu fought for him, but words had reached this point, if he still didn’t acknowledge the favor, that would be unreasonable.

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shiyue, I will do my best.”

With these words,

Blood Eater Daoist smiled wryly while expressing his gratitude and salutation.

What a situation indeed.

Seems like for Foundation Establishment resources, he might have to venture into the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

”Daoist friend, there are matters you must carefully consider. The Divine Fall Mountain Range might act out unexpectedly, and when Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks find themselves entangled, it’s unlikely they’ll intervene for Heterodox Evil Cultivators.” To ensure Blood Eater Daoist’s utmost diligence, Wen Jiu kindly reminded.

Blood Eater Daoist nodded, responding with some contemplation, ”I will keep your words in mind, Daoist friend.”

”I shall take my leave now.”

Wen Jiu bid farewell to Blood Eater Daoist,

and prepared to leave the Far West for a trip to Wind and Cloud Immortal City but unexpectedly, as soon as he planned, the Sound Transmission Talisman relayed information.

The messages were from two individuals.

Ping Mountain.

And Eastern Celestial City.

The former sent information received by the Celestial Left Alliance.

The Heaven Left Alliance Leader Ku Yue had received confirmed news that Master of Deadman Peak, Celestial Official Bai, had perished.

The body had already been found by a Foundation Establishment Elder from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

The latter came with information from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Three days later, the Guardian of the Far West, Fang Xiaolin, was going to Deadman Peak and specifically requested a meeting with him.

[Suddenly some family matter,

unfortunately,

only have time to write in the evening.]
