Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 451: Chapter 233: Together in the Same Boat—Pay Up or Swim

After mastering the Hidden God Technique, the effect of East Spring Undying Bone surpasses even that of his own body. Coupled with the concealing effect of the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, Wen Jiu is not worried that East Spring Undying Bone will be recognized.

It seems that the Three Karmic Demon indeed did not sense his presence, even though East Spring Undying Bone was following behind all along.

However, to be safe, Wen Jiu still controlled the Three Thousand Blood Inks to make a divination on him, requiring the same amount of corpse energy as before. Clearly, the injuries of the Three Karmic Demon have not improved.

In this case, it is the best news for East Spring Undying Bone.

If the Three Karmic Demon were only pretending not to have discovered him, the Tier Two Peak East Spring Undying Bone could truly give him a hard time with the Three Souls Flawless, perhaps even confront his Golden Core Great Demon body head-on.

Of course.

Wen Jiu definitely didn’t want to encounter that.

However.

Things were heading in the direction he least wanted. The direction the Three Karmic Demon was heading to was exactly the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River, and what surprised Wen Jiu even more was that the area of a thousand miles around the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River was nothing like what was remembered in the memory of the Demon Soul.

There were people.

And quite a few of them.

A Flying Ship, equipped with a Tier Two Top-Grade Concealment Spirit Array, was hidden in a valley a hundred miles away from the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River.

Had it not been for the extraordinary perception of East Spring Undying Bone, which surpasses even those of a Fake Pill Zhenren and can even rival that of a Golden Core, it might not have been detected. A Divine Sense quietly probed into the Flying Ship, and it turned out to be full of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

A rough sweep.

There were actually twenty to thirty people.

Most were at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, a few at the Middle Stage, and Late Stage, and there was even one Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, who seemed to be the owner of the Flying Ship.

What surprised Wen Jiu was that this guy was openly wearing the robes of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and his appearance seemed somewhat familiar. Both Shen Tu and Gu Qiao’s soul memories had recollections of this person.

”It turns out to be the third Vice City Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Chu Ying, who usually doesn’t make much of a presence.”

In Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu was quite surprised.

But there was no time to think about these things in detail, as at this moment, the Three Karmic Demon had already used the Transformation Technique, transforming into an elderly Loose Cultivator, with his aura and cultivation remaining at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and the demonic aura and Demonic Qi on his body vanishing entirely.

If East Spring Undying Bone hadn’t been keeping an eye on the Three Karmic Demon all along, it would really be hard to identify it as the Three Karmic Demon.

The Three Karmic Demon swaggered toward the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River, and at this moment, the Flying Ship that had been hiding showed signs of movement. The third Vice City Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Chu Ying, actually flew out directly and with an angry shout stopped the Three Karmic Demon.

”Fellow Daoist, this place is the trial secret realm of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, sealed by a Tier Three Array set by the Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City. No matter who you are or for what purpose you’re here, if you’re not from Wind and Cloud Immortal City, please leave quickly!” Chu Ying spoke calmly, but unleashed an invisible terrifying pressure.

The white eyebrows of the Three Karmic Demon knitted together. There seemed to be a hint of a cloud over his face, but he did not showcase his true strength; instead, he coldly replied, ”Since when did this become the trial secret realm of your Wind and Cloud Immortal City?”

Chu Ying was not surprised, because in his view, the other party had come to this place at the risk of being at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, must have known this place to be the entrance to the Heaven-Reaching River, ”It has been this way for a long time. If fellow Daoist wants to enter through the Tier Three defensive and offensive double array, I, Chu Mou, can take your business, but the price might be a bit high... If you don’t want to, then cast the Silencing Spell and leave, and I won’t make it difficult for you.”

”A Tier Three defensive and offensive double array, your Wind and Cloud Immortal City really spends big,” the Three Karmic Demon noted the opponent intentionally making much of the Tier Three Array but did not get upset, though he was quite displeased internally.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu was quite amazed.

The Wind and Cloud Immortal City had actually occupied the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River and set up a Tier Three Array outside to collect tolls!

Impressive.

Really impressive!

As Wen Jiu was still in shock, wondering if the Three Karmic Demon would be enraged and kill Chu Ying, the Three Karmic Demon surprisingly asked, ”You sure know how, name your price!”

”Two choices. First, five hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, or an equivalent item, and you’ll gain the qualification to hide and rest on the Flying Ship and pass through the Tier Three Array, but once inside, whether there’s a ship to pick you up depends on your luck; second, a one-time payment of one million five hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, and in ten days, there will be a cooperating fishing boat from Wind and Cloud Immortal City passing through this entrance, and you can join them.”

Chu Ying’s words almost made the Three Karmic Demon burst into laughter. He couldn’t help but sigh, ”You’re something else.”

”Does fellow Daoist choose one or two? If not the second, then the fishing boat won’t come again for three years, and you’ll have to rely on your own luck.”

”If there’s a boat, then it must be the second option.”

The Three Karmic Demon did not hesitate.

Wen Jiu watched this and counted the nearly thirty people on the Flying Ship. If each person pays one million five hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, that’s forty-five million Spirit Stones. Even if the cooperating fishing boat takes quite a bit, just this trip would earn them ten to twenty million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Even if it’s as they say, the boat comes only once every three years, but when it does come, they can feast for three years.

”You really know how to make a profit,”

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but marvel, also feeling curious about why the Three Karmic Demon was so good-tempered.

This is too unlike a Demon Cultivator.

Even with injuries, he could still exert the strength of a Fake Pill and easily handle a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, right?

Could it be really because there is a fishing boat to pick them up?

He couldn’t understand.

But Wen Jiu was too lazy to speculate, immediately ordering East Spring Undying Bone to take a closer look around the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching River. As expected, there was a complete Tier Three Array established there. Even though it wasn’t as formidable as the Tier Three Array in the Little Demon Realm, it should have no problem blocking a few Golden Core Cultivators.
