Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 534: Chapter 271: Cyan Wheat Three Techniques, the Fang Family Pays a Visit

”Better safe than sorry, this lad...” Han Tianxing didn’t continue, for he couldn’t admit he was somewhat afraid of Han Li, right?

That would be too embarrassing.

After a moment of careful examination, Han Tianxing felt assured to speak, ”Consume it and aim to break through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. Once you break through to the Late Stage, there’s an opportunity awaiting you. If you seize it, you will surely reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within five years.”

”What kind of opportunity?”

”I can’t tell you now, but it is related to the Blood Demon Sect.”

”Blood Demon Sect?”

”Do not underestimate this Blood Demon Sect. Based on the known information and the situation within the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, this Blood Demon Sect seems to be merely a branch sect, with a far larger power behind it.”

”Senior, why do you say that?”

”Because the three major Demonic Qi of the Blood Demon Sect seem familiar to me, but the details are beyond your understanding. Focus on your cultivation first, seizing this opportunity, with support from the Longevity Celestial Ruins, resources for Core Formation will not be an issue.”

”Understood.”

Feng Jue did not inquire further.

Taking the Elixir Pills, he immediately returned to his cave abode to continue his secluded cultivation.

...

On the other side.

After returning to his cave abode, Wen Jiu began cultivating the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques while controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, awaiting Pei Wuxing’s arrival.

The following day.

Pei Wuxing arrived as scheduled.

”Fellow Daoist Du, I am glad to have completed the task. Here are the profits from the past few months.” Pei Wuxing hurriedly presented a storage pouch.

Seven hundred thirty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Equivalent to seventy-three million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Jue Xing and Qi Qiantian’s entire assets didn’t amount to this much, of course, excluding the possibility of other stashes elsewhere. However, Wen Jiu had slain the two Mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, Jue Xing and Qi Qiantian, and the spoils amounted to merely six to seven hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

”This money is easy to earn,” Wen Jiu sighed, momentarily wishing for more intense battles between the Three Gates of Non-Life and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Indeed.

This is something to be grateful for to the Three Gates of Non-Life.

If they did not continue their slaughter and refuse surrender, business at the Heaven-Reaching River wouldn’t be so profitable.

”Master Pei, haven’t the Three Gates of Non-Life sent anything recently?” Wen Jiu inquired, as buying Blood Corpse Mushrooms and cultivating them required Spirit Stones, and who knows when this war might change, so earning a bit more while possible is wise.

Pei Wuxing expressed gratitude, ”Speaking of which, I’m truly thankful for your assistance, Fellow Daoist. It’s why the Three Gates of Non-Life dare not provoke my Little Demon Realm recently. However, they’ve been continuously fighting with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, so neither has come here.”

”Master Pei, you can’t act like this. Fellow Daoist Mo and the others are toiling day in and day out for the war, expending so much effort, how can you not consider their needs? Fortunately, I have some Tier Three Spirit Tea brought from the Hundred Floating Domains.” Wen Jiu reproached, feigning displeasure.

Pei Wuxing’s expression tightened, pondering briefly before understanding, a bright smile spreading across his face, ”Fellow Daoist Du is absolutely right, I shall send someone to invite them immediately.”

”If they are unwilling to come, it’s no matter, I can share this Tier Three Spirit Tea with Bao Tiangai and Qu Wuyi just the same.” Wen Jiu reminded.

Pei Wuxing’s smile widened, feeling a touch of dread.

This is openly extorting the three of them, isn’t it?

Only Duke Du can do this.

If it were Pei daring such actions, the three would likely charge up and tear him apart.

”I shall tend to it immediately,” Pei Wuxing said hurriedly, signaling to Daoist Wei, who bowed and quickly descended the stairs. After Daoist Wei left, Pei Wuxing spoke again, ”Master Du, might our actions here provoke unhappiness from the Master of the Three Gates of Non-Life? Though he too is at the Early Stage of Golden Core, his origins are unclear, yet he’s managed to simultaneously subdue the Yin Kui Sect, Jue Ying Sect, and Hidden Kill Sect, indicating he’s surely not simple.”

”No worries.”

Wen Jiu responded casually.

And then exchanged cups with Pei Wuxing.

Pei Wuxing was exceedingly enthusiastic, although he feared and had some apprehension towards Master Du, the fact that Master Du sided with him brought true comfort. It had been a long time since he felt so triumphant.

...

Within Lengxi Mountain.

Wen Jiu used the Corpse Fate Technique to calculate about the Master of the Three Gates of Non-Life.

Early Stage of Golden Core, should be exceedingly easy to foretell.

Though the calculation merely alerted the Golden Core Fate Technique Cultivator of the Three Gates of Non-Life, it was of no concern.

”As expected, the Master of the Three Gates of Non-Life is indeed connected with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, as is this Golden Core Fate Technique Cultivator.”

After investigating the information on these two, Wen Jiu was not concerned. The remnants of the Blood Demon Sect were yet unknown, and the war had only just begun. As long as he didn’t kill the two, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect probably wouldn’t send anyone.

As for whether extortion would upset the two of them.

Well, let them be upset then.

This matter was handled by Master Du!

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Wen Jiu continued with corpse nourishing as usual, practiced the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques to the introductory level, and attempted to use the lifespan from the Blood Demon Undying Bone for cultivating the Blood Corpse Mushroom.

During this time, Wen Jiu also discovered an unexpected surprise: if the lifespan was directly transferred from the Blood Demon Undying Bone to the Blood Corpse Mushroom, and Wen Jiu then refined it through the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques, a hundred years of lifespan remained a hundred years of lifespan, without any reduction.

After half a month, the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques improved to a minor achievement, significantly increasing the efficiency of cultivating the Blood Corpse Mushroom.

With a hundred years of lifespan, coupled with the Yin Poison and a large amount of demonic creature blood essence for cultivation, a Tier Two Top-Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom was cultivated in half a month. After East Spring Undying Bone refined it, a hundred experience points were gained.

Not much.

But for the East Spring Undying Bone, it was substantial; just five hundred would reach Tier Three Middle Realm.

Of course.

The consumption of blood essence was also considerable, but for one mushroom, it was around a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, much more cost-effective than buying a Tier Two Top-Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom directly.

While Wen Jiu was full of expectations for cultivating Blood Corpse Mushrooms, someone unexpected suddenly sent a communication.

It was Fang Qian.

”Brother Han, I’ll be arriving at the Little Demon Realm in three days; I have matters to discuss. If it’s inconvenient, I ask for your understanding.”

Fang Qian didn’t state directly in the Communication Stone, clearly indicating the matter was quite important.

Actually, for Wen Jiu now, it didn’t matter; even if the identity information of Ye Chen and the others was intercepted, it was inconsequential. Through the Lu Family, they could be sent to the West Mountain Floating Domain, with Lu Chan to help look after them.

However, he was still in the Divine Fall Mountain Range and didn’t want to send Ye Chen and the others to the West Mountain Floating Domain so soon.

Three days later.

Fang Qian quietly visited with a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Just as Wen Jiu exited his cave residence, Feng Jue’s servant approached and brought him to Lengxi Mountain upon receiving Wen Jiu’s instructions.

Upon arrival, Fang Qian courteously handed over a stack of letters, all written by Ye Chen and the others, with some addressed to Han Li, some to Wen Ya, Mu Chang’an, and Wen Jiu. Clearly, they were playing on emotions.

Wen Jiu glanced at the late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, returning the greeting with a similar gesture, ”What brings you two here?”

Fang Qian quickly introduced the elder cultivator beside him, ”Li... Fellow Daoist Li, this is my father, and the current Patriarch of the Fang Family.”

”I am Fang Mo, pleased to meet Fellow Daoist Li.” Fang Mo raised his hand in a respectful gesture once again, even though Wen Jiu displayed mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, Fang Mo remained respectful, ”To be honest, we’re here today because we need a favor.”

”If there’s something, say it directly. If you help me, I will naturally help you.” Wen Jiu put away the letters, his expression calm and unreadable. This made Fang Mo uncertain, causing him some anxiety.

Seeing his father hesitate, Fang Qian hurriedly interjected, ”Fellow Daoist Li, to be frank, I want you to act as a mediator. The current situation is unstable, the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is already declining, so my father wants me to go explore the Hundred Floating Domains and establish a foundation. But he worries that if I set out alone, I may not only fail to establish a base but may even...face unexpected events.”

”Your Fang Family’s business is so vast; you should have considerable ties with the Wind and Cloud Immortal City, right?”

Wen Jiu asked.

Fang Qian continued, ”But Chu Ying has only been using our Fang Family all along, hence giving me a named disciple status. When real trouble arises, we can only rely on ourselves. If we don’t bring a sizable fortune, not only the Hundred Floating Domains but even the journey there would attract unwanted attention.”

”You certainly see things clearly, so you want me to contact Feng Jue to resolve your concerns?” Wen Jiu knew that what he had exhibited before the Fang Family, the most valuable asset, was his connection to Feng Jue.

Wen Jiu didn’t mind lending a hand to the Fang Family, considering they had helped him solve his own issues.

However, now that even the Fang Family is about to flee, it seems likely that more forces will be forced to escape subsequently.

If this continues, would the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks just sit idly by?

The hearts have already dispersed.

It’s hard to gather again.

Perhaps the only path left for the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is to secure a victory that eases everyone’s minds.

Yet, with the current state of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, their Golden Core battle force cannot match the Three Gates of Non-Life, leaving just one path—seek reinforcements. This might present an opportunity to extract some benefits from the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

[The first update is here.

The second update will be tonight.

If there is no update by eight, it’s likely to be before midnight.]
