Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 472: Chapter 243: Boundless Spiritlessness, Unmelting Golden Pill [First Update!]

He Xiong Wu smiled with satisfaction, ”Thank you, Master Lu. However, this is just the beginning; it’s too early to say anything conclusive. But according to the current trend, this boy from the He Family hasn’t wasted the Earth Attribute Yin Sha Evil Spirit we specially found for him... It’s just that right now, with He You’s Core Formation momentum already established, and his pill gradually forming, it will definitely affect your young friend’s pill formation. I hope Master Lu won’t hold it against me.”

He Xiong Wu apologized, but the smile on his face was hard to hide. Lu Shouren saw this and had a feeling akin to swallowing bitter medicine in silence. Although he didn’t have much hope for Li Bai, a false Core would do, but thinking about how the He Family had taken such advantage, it was really unpleasant.

”It doesn’t matter.”

Lu Shouren replied simply, then picked up his tea cup with a gloomy face. The warm water that was just right in the past suddenly felt a bit too hot today, and the Spirit Tea that was usually refreshing suddenly tasted bland.

”Pour it out and refill!”

Unable to hide his anger, Lu Shouren ordered the maid beside him in a low voice.

Seeing this scene, He Xiong Wu secretly snickered, thinking to himself: If it weren’t for your Lu Family having an elder in the Middle Stage of Golden Core, this Nightmare Blood Yin Vein wouldn’t have come your way no matter how it was allocated. Today you lost to the He Family, and you deserve it!

...

In Lengxi Mountain.

Wen Jiu sensed the gradual reduction of Yin Spirit Qi, Blood Qi, and Death Qi around him, and immediately released the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone. Seeing He You’s Core Formation momentum already formed, carrying out Spirit Absorption and Core Formation, which led to the thinning of the Three Qi, he immediately ordered the Five Ghosts and Two Corpses to increase the supply of Corpse Qi and Ghost Qi.

The amount of Corpse Qi needed for the fusion of the Undying Bone of East Spring and the Dao Foundation was rather terrifying.

If the Two Corpses and Five Ghosts were not used, the fusion process might not be smooth and could lead to some mishap.

However, this was not a big issue; it was just that the consumption was so huge even before the Thunder Tribulation had arrived.

In less than half a day, in order to maintain the full state of the East Spring Undying Bone, the Corpse Qi of the Two Corpses had been virtually exhausted, and the Five Ghosts and Corpse Eye were almost depleted as well. If the Thunder Tribulation were to descend during the core formation, it would likely have to rely solely on the East Spring Undying Bone itself.

”During Core Formation, there is still another opportunity for Core Formation momentum, to recklessly absorb the Three Qi from the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein just like He You... This is the only chance to replenish, and it must be done with full force.” Wen Jiu made the decision immediately.

Even if it meant He You couldn’t form his core, it was worth it.

Though the two had no long-standing grudges, this time, by affecting his core formation, it became a grudge over hindering his path.

As time passed, the Undissolving Bone Liquid successfully fused with the Dao Foundation Fragment, and the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit was fully refined and absorbed by the East Spring Undying Bone. At this moment, the Corpse Qi within the East Spring Undying Bone began to pour into it frantically, and the Undissolving Bone Liquid also began to reconstruct the Undying Bone Body.

However, unlike before, when the Undying Bone was as bright as moonlight, the current Undying Bone was of dark gold color. Hidden under the corpse body, the dark golden glow was not visible, but Wen Jiu could clearly see the dazzling dark golden glow through his internal vision.

According to the memory of the Demon Soul, a False Core is like a candle flame, thin and weak; a Low-Rank Golden Core is like a torch, bright and dazzling; a Middle-Grade Golden Core is like a bonfire, with dazzling golden light; as for an Upper-Rank Golden Core, according to historical records, once it appears, it can instantly tear apart the night curtain for hundreds of miles, illuminating the earth.

But as Wen Jiu saw it now, even though it was astonishing, the dark golden glow was as dazzling as the scorching sun, impossible to look at directly. As the Dark Gold Undying Bone Body gradually took shape, Wen Jiu, through his internal vision, felt a terrifying Golden Core Power surging towards him, far surpassing any Golden Core Cultivator he’d ever seen.

Even at the full strength of the Three Karmic Demon, it was inferior.

”Could it be that the East Spring Undying Bone has truly formed a Top-Grade Golden Core?” Wen Jiu was momentarily undecided. If he could refer to the soul memory of a Golden Core Zhenren at this moment, how great would that be.

Above the Golden Core, the Heterodox Dao is hard to enter.

And as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, the Top-Grade Golden Core, whether according to the Yinzhou Heterodox Record or the memory of the Demon Soul, not only is it extraordinarily powerful, but also points the way above the Golden Core. The saying ’Above the Golden Core, the Heterodox Dao is hard to enter and as difficult as climbing to the sky’ is not absolute in the face of a Top-Grade Golden Core because the history of the Blood Demon Sect records a legendary Evil Cultivator who entered above the Heterodox Golden Core with a Top-Grade Golden Core.

”If so, the potential value of cultivating the East Spring Undying Bone would be enormous.” Wen Jiu thought about how the East Spring Undying Bone was made using the corpse of an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator, and couldn’t help but feel sentimental for a moment.

As his first zombie, Wen Jiu certainly had feelings for it. If the East Spring Undying Bone could go further, he would definitely cultivate it with all his might. If the East Spring Undying Bone’s achievement this time was indeed a Top-Grade Golden Core, he would undoubtedly not hesitate to invest the majority of his assets into it.

Even if it meant that the cultivation progress of the other Five Ghosts and Two Corpses would be slower, it wouldn’t matter. However, once the East Spring Undying Bone became a Golden Core and reached the level of a Golden Core Undying Bone, even a few leftover resources would be enough to cause the cultivation progress of the Two Corpses and Five Ghosts to soar.

After all, the resources accessible to a Golden Core far exceed those of Foundation Establishment, as evidenced by the Time Evil Spirit Medicine alone.

Reining in his thoughts, as the Undying Bone Body was about to fully form, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to start coalescing the Core Formation momentum, performing the last replenishment before Crossing the Tribulation. Whether enough tribulation foundation could be accumulated depended on this effort.

The next moment.

The East Spring Undying Bone returned all its Corpse Qi to the Five Ghosts and Two Corpses, quickly replenishing them to full, and then its body began acting like a massive vortex in the sea, frantically absorbing the Three Qi from the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein.
