Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 481: Chapter 247: Powerful Feedback Leaves the Lu Family Stunned [First Update]

After East Spring Undying Bone achieved the Unmelting Golden Pill, traveling through the Heaven-Reaching River was essentially effortless; whether it was the river itself or the Spirit Fish within it, East Spring Undying Bone could navigate with ease.

As for the Tier Three Array that sealed the entrance to the Heaven-Reaching River, with the current escape technique and strength, bypassing it directly or forcibly breaking through was equally simple. However, one must also find a way to participate in the ventures when returning.

Currently, with chaos in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, those second-generation immortals or cultivators with some family assets would likely want to flee. Every batch of three months could earn tens of millions of Spirit Stones, a business opportunity nearly impossible to find. Now that the Undying Bone achieved the Unmelting Golden Pill, how could one not seize a part of the profits?

If one doesn’t participate,

It would be a disrespect to the cultivation achieved by the Undying Bone.

After leaving the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone heading straight for the border of the West Mountain Floating Domain. Normally, for a cultivator to enter the West Mountain Floating Domain via the Heaven-Reaching River, they would be under constant surveillance by the Domain Lord’s Mansion. Without proper identification, one would be escorted away by the Celestial River Guard.

However, leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain was easy; one could even exit openly without having their identity scrutinized, so long as they had a West Mountain Order. If one were a Golden Core Zhenren, they wouldn’t even need to present the West Mountain Order.

As East Spring Undying Bone approached the border, Wen Jiu began to assess the feedback from the recent transformations.

The feedback was substantial, yet due to the influence of Yinzhou Heterodox Record, it was not directly added to cultivation; however, Wen Jiu didn’t mind and even felt excited. This time, the feedback primarily affected the Spirit Root.

The Spirit Root is an innate trait; inferior Spirit Roots are unchangeable. The previous feedback had mutated his Spirit Root, and now with the East Spring Undying Bone achieving the Unmelting Golden Pill, the feedback brought about an incredible transformation in the Spirit Root.

Previously, Wen Jiu was occupied with hunting Golden Cores, searching for new corpse refining materials without examining closely. Now, upon closer inspection of the Spirit Root, he discovered the black secret texts on it had increased tenfold from a thousand to ten thousand.

With this sudden increase in black secret texts, the original thirty-plus branches also expanded tenfold to over three hundred. The Spirit Root, once dim and emitting weak light, now burned with a campfire-like brilliance, radiating intense black light.

Although the quality remained inferior, not reaching even the lowest rank, in Wen Jiu’s view, the Spirit Root now could hardly be judged by the conventional four-grade system of low, medium, high, and top-grade.

Judging Spirit Root quality ultimately comes down to its affinity with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Although his Spirit Root’s affinity with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi hadn’t increased and remained as weak as an inferior Spirit Root, its sensitivity to Yin Evil Qi, death energy, and Demonic Qi had become exceptionally keen.

Previously, during the recovery of Yin Technique, gathering Yin Evil Qi felt like drinking water from a bowl, taking only a sip. But now, absorbing Yin Evil Qi was akin to scooping water out of a large vat, gulping down an entire vat with no effort. This transformation mainly affected the recovery of the Yin Technique.

Restoring all Yin Technique within the Dao Foundation during the late stage of Foundation Establishment used to take about half a day, but now a quarter of an hour sufficed. However, this change wasn’t very significant on its own for someone with the Five Ghosts and Three Corpses, as they could instantly replenish any depleted Yin Technique within the Dao Foundation using the Three Corpses.

What brought Wen Jiu the greatest joy was the effect on Core Formation and the current state of the Spirit Root.

During the daily calculation, the brief information displayed that his current Spirit Root was an inferior True Spirit Root, providing a thirty percent chance of forming a Top-Grade Golden Core. The True Spirit Root, on par with the Top-Grade Spirit Root and above the Pure Spirit Root, was something only heard of in legends throughout the entire West Mountain Floating Domain.

Neither Master Jue Ying nor He Xiong Wu had encountered someone with a True Spirit Root, only hearing tales involving beings above the Golden Core level. To most Golden Core Zhenrens, the True Spirit Root was a clear path to transcend the Golden Core, advancing to the Nascent Soul.

Without a True Spirit Root, one would have to find alternate means.

Luckily, the number of individuals with a True Spirit Root across the entire Hundred Floating Domains is likely minimal, so those aware of its existence among Golden Core Zhenrens merely smile without much envy or jealousy.

”Could the transformation of my Spirit Root into a True Spirit Root be related to the True Spirit Divine Tree?”

”According to the daily calculation panel, my current True Spirit Root is classified as inferior, only increasing the probability of condensing a Top-Grade Golden Core by thirty percent. However, there’s no experience progress bar for the Spirit Root, indicating that this isn’t something that can be improved through grinding experience.”

”Perhaps the transformation from inferior depends solely on cultivation feedback. Without practicing the subsequent Cultivation Techniques from the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, the feedback from either the Five Ghosts or the Three Corpses would impact my cultivation base itself only if not falling upon the Spirit Root, soul, or Spirit Body. There’s a considerable chance among these three.”

”If I could refrain from enhancing my own cultivation temporarily and focus on advancing the Three Corpses and the Five Ghosts, there’s a substantial possibility of evolving the True Spirit Root, granting higher chances of forming a Top-Grade Golden Core, and potentially paving the path toward True Core Infant.”

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel exhilarated; the Heterodox Dao’s cultivation is swift, yet achieving a Heterodox Golden Core is extremely challenging. To ascend beyond the Golden Core is akin to scaling heavenly heights.

That’s why the Silent Abyss is mostly populated by Demon Cultivators, not Heterodox Evil Cultivators since, in the current Cultivation Realm environment, achieving Golden Core Perfection might be the endpoint for Heterodox Evil Cultivators, whereas the Demon Dao seems to differ somewhat.
