Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 493: Chapter 252: Assisting Feng Jue, Maximizing Benefits

Wen Jiu understood Feng Jue’s concerns, were it not for East Spring Undying Bone having achieved the Unmelting Golden Pill, he too would be uneasy, ”You’re afraid that after you defeat Zuo Xin Kui, Mo Palace will kill you? That’s unlikely, as he is a Golden Core, if he does such a thing, he’ll be laughed at. Golden Core Zhenren can’t just lose face like that.”

”A Heterodox Evil Cultivator wouldn’t care about such empty reputation. Today, they are here not just to see Master Du, but to threaten the entire Wind and Cloud Immortal City. If I defeat Zuo Xin Kui and make him lose face, he’ll undoubtedly try to kill me.”

Feng Jue sighed, not knowing what to do. Had he known earlier, he should have seen Wen Jiu first, and then personally delivered the challenge post. No, delivering or not delivering probably isn’t the issue.

The biggest problem is perhaps that he was too hasty and overlooked Zuo Xin Kui’s purpose and strategic significance in coming here.

No wonder Daoist Wei was so generous, allowing him to cultivate for three months within the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.

It wasn’t without reason.

Just as Feng Jue was feeling anxious, Wen Jiu suddenly thought of the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, ”Brother Feng, if you are willing to do me a favor, Han Mou can help you solve this problem, how about it?”

”Hm?”

Feng Jue was taken aback, not understanding, then suddenly thought of something, ”Could it be, Brother Han plans to help me?”

”Of course not, Brother Feng need not ask much, just nod or shake your head. But there is one thing I need to tell Brother Feng, the favor I need from you is to fetch an item from the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, it may be dangerous, but I will tell you its exact location and the risks involved.”

”An item from the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven?”

”That’s right, Pei Wuxing is aware of its existence, so I need you to act when he is not around.”

”What item?”

”The Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit.”

”This...”

Feng Jue was taken aback.

The soul within him was also shocked at this moment.

”You’ve entered several times, yet I couldn’t sense such a presence. Han Li truly deserves the title of those people’s disciple, actually figuring out that there’s an Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.”

Feng Jue hastily asked internally, ”Senior, the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit is a major issue, should I agree or not?”

Facing the matter of the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit, he was uncertain.

Because if Pei Wuxing discovered it, his trouble would be greater than killing Zuo Xin Kui in front of Mo Palace.

Yet, the soul within him was also indecisive.

At this moment, Wen Jiu spoke again, ”Brother Feng, if you help me get that item, all previous favors will be considered repaid. Of course, if you refuse, I’ll consider it as if I never asked. If you’re worried about Pei Wuxing finding out, don’t worry, I have a way to help you leave Wind and Cloud Immortal City safely.”

With these words said.

Feng Jue fell into contemplation.

A few moments later, Feng Jue firmly nodded, ”I trust Brother Han.”

As for why he suddenly decided to agree.

It was because he remembered that when the three Golden Cores came this time, Han Li showed no sign of panic and even ate calmly.

Recalling past experiences, just a mere storm brewing, Han Li would find excuses to leave months in advance.

Such a stark contrast.

There must be a reason.

Perhaps he had something to rely on.

”Then Brother Feng, just do what you wish, if something truly happens, someone will naturally help you.”

Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction, casually placing a Silencing Spell on Feng Jue.

He couldn’t enter the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, nor did he want to work for Wind and Cloud Immortal City to retrieve the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit, so it was best to let Feng Jue go. Of course, Wen Jiu also somewhat intended to cultivate Feng Jue.

With an ”Old Grandpa” backing him, having established the Earth Yang Dao Foundation, and obtaining the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, it’s enough to prove Feng Jue’s great fortune. If such a person helps him more and is cultivated a bit more, future achievements will undoubtedly be high.

Once he achieves a Golden Core, he could be useful, even helping him secretly establish a Golden Core influence.

After all, Loose Cultivators can’t move an inch in the West Mountain Floating Domain, as all resources are controlled by those Golden Core influences.

...

Meanwhile.

In Wind and Cloud Immortal City, upon learning of the matter, Pei Wuxing felt a bit uneasy.

He clearly knew the three from Mo Palace were coming for Master Du, and even clearer on what Mo Palace intended. The three were so assertive, they must either be probing or suspecting the origins of Master Du.

Either way, the trouble couldn’t be avoided. But this wasn’t entirely bad news, if the three saw Master Du’s attitude, the Three Life Gates would definitely not dare to covet the Little Demon Realm in the future.

”Master Du is after profit, so I’ll just offer a higher price, a price that he can’t refuse.” Thinking of this, Pei Wuxing immediately acted, transmitting several messages but getting no reply.

With no choice, Pei Wuxing had to send a voice transmission.

”Master Du, Pei Mou wishes to discuss something with Fellow Daoist.”

In Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu was surprised to receive a transmission so quickly, and promptly asked what it was about.

He had a faint feeling that Pei Wuxing was about to offer a gift again.

Golden Cores sure helped a lot.

If Pei Wuxing were to offer another gift worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones, it might be enough for the Blood Demon Undying Bone to reach Tier Two Peak. Of course, the prerequisite is to convert those Spirit Stones into Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

Pei Wuxing hurriedly said, ”To be truthful, our Wind and Cloud Immortal City is currently in need of a Golden Core Cultivator to oversee it. If Fellow Daoist is willing, Pei Mou will surely provide generous compensation that will not disappoint Fellow Daoist Du.”

”That is a separate matter; we will discuss it later.”

Wen Jiu did not agree immediately.

Nor did he want to agree.

Since he was using a disguise, naturally he had to maximize his interests.

It’s about benefiting from both sides.

If he didn’t pressure Pei Wuxing a bit, how could he propose a high price?

”Master Du, Master Du, we can negotiate, just name your price. As long as it’s within my Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s capacity, I will definitely agree.” Pei Wuxing was rather anxious, after all, the three from Mo Palace were already in the Little Demon Realm.

The longer it dragged on, the bigger the trouble.

Wen Jiu immediately transmitted, giving Pei Wuxing an assurance, ”It seems Fellow Daoist Pei is encountering some trouble, but rest assured, the business of the Heaven-Reaching River entrance, to prevent complications that could draw the Celestial River Guard’s attention, I will only do business with you. Whether it’s Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks or Three Life Gates, they are not in my consideration.”

Hearing this, Pei Wuxing was reassured, understanding Master Du’s intentions, though he wasn’t surprised.

Because from the start, Master Du’s objective in the Divine Fall Mountain Range was clear - to make money, how could he miss a chance to make a fortune?

”Seems like he wants to have a foot in both camps.” Pei Wuxing’s eyes were cold, but he was no longer as anxious.

As long as it’s confirmed Master Du won’t completely break away from Wind and Cloud Immortal City, that’s good news for him.

After all, even if the three from Mo Palace are arrogant, they wouldn’t dare engage in a mortal battle with him in the Little Demon Realm.

Pei Wuxing transmitted again, ”Would Fellow Daoist accompany me to the Little Demon Realm? The three Golden Core Zhenrens from the Three Life Gates specifically want to see Fellow Daoist and even said they brought a unique meeting gift from the Celestial Demon Sea.”

”Fellow Daoist go first, I will follow shortly.” After the transmission, Wen Jiu put away the Communication Stone with a satisfied smile.

...

The next day.

Before Pei Wuxing arrived at the Little Demon Realm, Feng Jue suddenly transmitted, ”Brother Han, Mo Palace already knows of my challenge to Zuo Xin Kui, and specifically scheduled the challenge for tonight.

Clearly, they want me to face the challenge in front of the Zhenrens, most likely to let Zuo Xin Kui make Master Pei lose face. However, I’m confident in defeating him, so I’ll trouble Brother Han when the time comes.”

Wen Jiu only replied with two words.

Rest assured!

[Two updates complete.

See you all tomorrow!]
