Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Then Fang Xiaolin spoke again, ”But with your skills, it would be a pity to remain on Deadman Peak. If you help me with something, and succeed, I might not only introduce you to Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks but also grant you an Earth Evil Pill.”

Hearing this, Wen Jiu almost burst into laughter. You draw such big promises; it’s a shame you don’t sell pancakes instead.

If you had an Earth Evil Pill, you wouldn’t be here snatching the Foundation Establishment Opportunity from the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

However, to avoid any immediate conflict with Fang Xiaolin, Wen Jiu continued the conversation without directly agreeing.

Agreeing too quickly would seem insincere.

”What does the senior need of the junior? As long as it’s within my capability, I will give it my all.”

Fang Xiaolin smiled with satisfaction.

Compared to the regular Qi Refining Cultivators in Eastern Celestial City, dealing with a Heterodox Evil Cultivator is indeed more comfortable.

”It’s not a difficult task; just find a way to kill the people Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks send into the Celestial Extinction Ruins.”

”With your strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. Even if it is, someone will assist you.”

Wen Jiu nodded, feigned hesitance for a few breaths, then agreed, ”If it’s this matter, the junior naturally has no issue.”

Fang Xiaolin added, ”Besides, kill the Peak Master of Xiao Yan Mountain, Yan Shanhai.”

”Why does senior want to kill him?” Wen Jiu was a bit puzzled.

What is this bastard really up to?

First, he wants to kill his own men.

Then, he wants Yan Shanhai dead.

Fang Xiaolin did not hide the reason, directly explaining, ”I, the Overseer, don’t want disobedient people in the Far West.”

”The junior will give it my all.”

This time, Wen Jiu agreed without hesitation.

However, he also decided that he must eliminate Fang Xiaolin.

Someone like him is a disaster waiting to happen.

Today, he can coerce him into doing things; tomorrow, he can make him the next Blood Eater Daoist.

”Good, do well and you shall be rewarded!”

Fang Xiaolin once again smiled with satisfaction, said no more, and vanished into the night as a Startled Swan.

Once Fang Xiaolin left, Eastern Celestial City hurried to Wen Jiu’s side, clasped his hands, and apologized, ”I apologize for troubling Fellow Daoist Han this time.”

”No worries.”

Wen Jiu responded nonchalantly.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, but rather he had no intention of doing Fang Xiaolin’s bidding.

If it were the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator behind him, Wen Jiu would be happy to kill a few people for him. After all, the thigh of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator is still quite hefty. Even if they cannot become a Golden Core Cultivator, they’re still significant.

”Fellow Daoist Han, what did that man ask you to do? If there’s any trouble, feel free to tell me!” Ye Chen suddenly spoke on the side, quite indignant, disregarding the consequences of his words, ”To be honest, even if we help him with this matter, it doesn’t mean things will be well in the future. My master had warned us before to be cautious of Fang Xiaolin, but who would’ve thought, just as the family unexpectedly passed away, he would eagerly come to threaten us!”

Honestly, if not for confirming that Fang Xiaolin had left without leaving his Divine Sense, Wen Jiu would’ve indeed worried for his master.

But he understood his master’s anger.

If it were him, being asked to surrender the Foundation Establishment Opportunity, such a grudge would be unresolved until death.

Until he risks his life to kill Fang Xiaolin, he couldn’t sleep peacefully at night.

”Junior brother, trouble springs from the mouth!” Eastern Celestial City promptly reminded on the side, fearing Ye Chen might continue speaking.

Ye Chen smiled wryly, ”Senior brother, does not speaking mean Fang Xiaolin would spare us on Deadman Peak?”

”But our current strategy can only be endurance. As long as Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are not in chaos, and order remains, he doesn’t dare openly do anything to us.” Eastern Celestial City stroked his beard, sighing, but in truth, even he wasn’t entirely convinced.

Because Fang Xiaolin isn’t an ordinary Foundation Establishment...

But Ye Chen apparently wasn’t one to endure, ”Senior brother, if we don’t seize this opportunity in the Celestial Extinction Ruins, we might just end up as cowards, enduring again and again. Besides, I now suspect they killed the master... Otherwise, why bury him in Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks and not even let us see!”

”Junior brother, enough!”

Eastern Celestial City sternly interrupted.

Such things.

Knowing is enough.

Speaking out might mean it won’t just be one or two people who die.

Seeing that the argument might spiral out of control, Wen Jiu quickly interjected, ”Elder Dongfang, I’ll just say one thing: if you wish to establish a Foundation in the Celestial Extinction Ruins, I can fully support you!”

These words once spoken.

The expressions of the three in Eastern Celestial City froze.

None of them expected this Fellow Daoist Han to be so resolute. Although it seemed somewhat like a desperate bet, his words certainly strengthened Eastern Celestial City’s resolve.

It also filled Eastern Celestial City’s heart with gratitude.

Enhancing in times of prosperity is common; it happens often.

But those who offer timely help in adversity are few and precious.

Facing threats from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Han Li’s unwavering assistance to Deadman Peak might exceed repaying for past favors and transcend the value of a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse.

”Fellow Daoist Han, let me extend my respect!” Eastern Celestial City raised a hand in salute, bowing ninety degrees.

Ye Chen did the same.

After giving Wen Jiu a deep look, Bai Jianxin also followed suit in saluting, bowing longer than Eastern Celestial City.

In response, Wen Jiu did not stop them. Being too courteous would actually be insincere and might make the Great Elder suspicious.

Being doubted would then lead to suspicion towards him.

Just as Eastern Celestial City mentioned, those who lend timely aid in troubled times have always been rare.

Wen Jiu further said, ”I’ll leave the sect for a while, but will return in no more than a month. If anything arises, just send a voice transmission via Spirit Talisman.”

”Fellow Daoist Han, take care.” Eastern Celestial City saluted again, not saying he completely trusted this Han Li, but he no longer harbored doubts either.

...

After leaving Deadman Peak as Han Li, Wen Jiu quietly returned to his abode under a pretext, preparing to continue his closed cultivation for another month.

Fortunately, the persona Wen Jiu previously crafted was that of a dedicated cultivator, so another seclusion period drew no suspicion.

Midnight swiftly arrived.

As of the daily tally, having absorbed five hundred jins of Corpse Blood, Three Thousand Blood Inks, who had consumed from a hundred True Spirit Demon Race carcasses, drew five thousand jins of Corpse Blood.

One jin of Corpse Blood equals twenty-five experience points.

But when Three Thousand Blood Inks transformed into the Three Evil Corpses, the experience from each jin of Corpse Blood halved.

Therefore, absorbing five hundred jins of Corpse Blood provided Three Thousand Blood Inks a total of nine thousand eight hundred seventy-five experience points.

As for Yin Sha True Spirit Body, having reached the seventh layer, the experience value dramatically decreased.

Each jin of Corpse Blood only grants five experience points.

From over four hundred jins of Corpse Blood, it merely gained two thousand one hundred sixty-five experience points.

[Three Thousand Blood Inks · Three Evil Corpses (Illusory Realm 2625/7000)]

[Skill: Yin Sha True Spirit Body 7th Layer (2165/9000)]

”Good thing there’s the True Spirit Demon Race, otherwise, relying entirely on Demon Hunting and Corpse Nurturing, I’d have to eradicate every Tier One Superior Demon in the entire Far West.” Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh; perhaps even that wouldn’t suffice.

After the sigh, Wen Jiu promptly left Deadman Peak.

Leaving Deadman Peak, Wen Jiu flew straight towards the central Shen Yun Mountain Range. Just as he departed the Far West, Feng Xuan unexpectedly contacted through Spirit Talisman, revealing Fang Xiaolin’s plot in detail.

Among the Three Sects and Six Peaks, while Deadman Peak still remains unclear, all other forces except Xiao Yan Mountain have decisively sided with Fang Xiaolin. Especially Cloud Mist Peak, which seems particularly delighted to be under Fang Xiaolin’s command.

In the meantime, Feng Jue also casually mentioned Moon Extreme Sect, using a tone of suspicion, indicating to Wen Jiu that Moon Extreme Sect might also be on Fang Xiaolin’s side. In other words, Moon Extreme Sect is also an enemy in the Celestial Extinction Ruins expedition.

Inside the Celestial Extinction Ruins, one can kill.

”Feng Jue sure is ruthless for the chance at Celestial Extinction Mountain’s opportunity, even selling out his own forces.” Wen Jiu observed this firsthand today.

However, upon considering Feng Jue’s ambition to advance and potentially achieve Daoist Golden Core, it’s understandable.

Yet this also piqued Wen Jiu’s interest. With even a Foundation Establishment like Feng Jue, who doesn’t dare directly reject Fang Xiaolin and ultimately resorts to selling out his own, where does Xiao Yan Mountain’s Yan Shanhai muster the courage to directly refuse Fang Xiaolin?

Upon asking Feng Xuan, Wen Jiu found that Yan Shanhai was running out of time; without reaching Foundation Establishment, he’d perish completely.

Since he’s a dying man,

why fear Foundation Establishment threats?

All die anyway.

After acquiring further information from Feng Xuan, Wen Jiu said no more, continuing his journey beyond the Shen Yun Mountain Range.

He departed the Far West that day.

The next day, he was already in the central Shen Yun Mountain Range.

If all goes smoothly, Wind and Cloud Immortal City would be reached the following day.

[Two chapters completed.]

See you all tomorrow!
