Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 677: Chapter 328: Revising Future Plans

As a Golden Core, Wuxinming rarely lost his composure, opening his mouth like a mortal and remaining silent for a long time, his mind like a storm-tossed sea. Seeing this, Wen Jiu didn’t say another word.

He just sat quietly, taking a light sip of the Hundred-Year Spirit Tea that Zhao Ming had bought from the stone table. When he tried to take another sip, it felt flavorless. For Qi Cultivation Foundation Establishment, the Hundred-Year Spirit Tea was acceptable, but for a Golden Core, it was like Spiritual Liquid with impurities.

After a long while, Wuxinming knelt on the ground with a thud. The words ”Master He” on his lips quietly transformed as he tentatively asked a question, but immediately realized it might be abrupt, ”Senior, could you be a master of the Cyan Demon Lineage? Please don’t misunderstand, I am not trying to pry, but I have long admired the seniors of the Cyan Demon Lineage.”

Wen Jiu chuckled lightly, ”Spare me the words even Zhao Ming, that girl, wouldn’t believe. Let me ask you again: even the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills mean nothing to me. The human debt you owe me far exceeds the gift of teaching or life-saving. How will you repay... Right, a reminder, think carefully before you answer.”

Those words tightened Wuxinming’s heart, as if a gigantic sword hung over his head, ready to split him at any moment. But when he thought about how even the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills were nothing in Wen Jiu’s eyes, he truly felt like crying but had no tears. What value does he have, and what value can he create?

Suddenly.

A realization dawned on Wuxinming.

”Senior, I am willing to serve you, using the Path of Humanity and Righteousness to help you build a deep-rooted, millennia-lasting foundation in Donghua Immortal City.” In Wuxinming’s view, entering Donghua Immortal City via the He Family could not merely be to find a cultivation land; there had to be a scheme.

Having said this.

Wuxinming anxiously awaited Wen Jiu’s response.

Wen Jiu picked up the Spirit Tea on the table again and took a light sip. Even if it wasn’t a Thousand-Year Spirit Tea that could equal a hundred days of cultivation in one sip, it was still nice to drink occasionally. Drinking more could have some minor benefits for cultivation.

Wuxinming’s words indeed reminded him that venturing out was to seize opportunities for higher realms. But he couldn’t always wander outside, struggling to become invincible in one place only to move to another place and be oppressed by someone else, living in anxiety and fear.

Moreover, the resources that the Lu Family can provide are far from sufficient to cultivate the four corpses and five ghosts with all the needed provisions.

He needed more.

A cultivator who mastered the Path of Humanity and Righteousness was undoubtedly a more suitable helper for Corpse Nourishing than Lu Chan.

”You currently control the Lu Family and the Cyan Moon Sect. To supply blood essence worth two hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones per month, it’s not much, right?”

Two hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, which are twenty million Low-grade Spirit Stones, might be somewhat strenuous for a normal Golden Core Influence to bring out. But for the two combined, gritting their teeth, it was doable.

Thinking about it this way, it was time for Lu Feng to supply more blood essence as well.

Wuxinming nodded without hesitation when he heard this, and the anxiety on his face disappeared instantly, ”Not too much, not too much.”

”After casting the Silencing Spell and swearing the Heart Demon Oath, you can leave.” Wen Jiu didn’t want to bother with other means. As long as Wuxinming was restricted from revealing the truth to outsiders, it was enough, and he gave him a time limit.

Currently, the five ghosts couldn’t enter the city, nor could they control souls, so he first gave Wuxinming some hope.

”Fifty years, all debts will be cleared after fifty years.”

Wuxinming couldn’t believe it, but then he remembered that cultivators of the Cyan Demon Lineage were not as frantic or sinister as those from the Outer Hidden Demon Sect, so he thanked hastily, ”Thank you, Senior... Right, Senior, what about in front of others later?”

”You will still call me Master He in front of others.”

”Understood.”

”You may leave now.”

After sending Wuxinming away, Wen Jiu returned to his room to continue cultivating live medicine, occasionally practicing the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array and Cyan Wheat Three Techniques.

In the following days, Wuxinming didn’t dare to approach Wen Jiu’s residence, only visiting when it was time to deliver the blood essence. Each visit, he would truthfully report who else owed him human debts, becoming his invisible hand.

As of yesterday, seventeen Golden Core Cultivators were indebted to Wuxinming with Spirit Stones and other human debts. Once the Path of Humanity and Righteousness amplified these debts a hundredfold or a thousandfold, these people would become his ”arms.”

It would be much easier to collect blood essence.

He could also gain more blood essence.

However, Wuxinming expressed he dared not expand the range in the short term, to avoid the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion or East Splendor Divine Palace detecting it. Wen Jiu said nothing more, only made one request: to double the blood essence within three years.

Wuxinming agreed without hesitation, which also gave Wen Jiu new ideas for future cultivation plans.

He might do as he did in the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

The main body would always stay in a safe place.

With this thought, Wen Jiu contemplated how to deceive the East Splendor Divine Palace’s late-stage Golden Core cultivators and the third-grade top-grade spiritual beast’s investigation. The focus was on the investigation of that third-grade top-grade spiritual beast.

This could only be tackled step by step, and it was still early, so Wen Jiu didn’t spend much time pondering it.

Meanwhile, after the ancestor Lin Yingyun Mountain of the Qi Guang Sect was defeated, the Qi Guang Sect retreated step by step under the attack of the Longteng Family, especially when everyone turned against them, the collapse of the Qi Guang Sect doubled.

To avoid a Golden Core war affecting the situation in the West Mountain Floating Domain, the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion ordered that no actions beyond the Golden Core were allowed. Though this somewhat relieved the pressure on the Qi Guang Sect, it couldn’t save them, at most delaying its collapse.

As the saying goes, when a wall is about to fall, everyone gives it a push, and if the Golden Core truly acts, the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion couldn’t possibly wipe out the Longteng Family, so this ban can only limit things temporarily.

But just as the East Spring Undying Bone moved towards the Tier Three Upper Realm, it suddenly sensed a very weak breath like a flash of a startled swan slipping past the sky above Qi Mountain, heading straight to the depths of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Upon sensing this breath through the East Spring Undying Bone, Wen Jiu felt a sense of familiarity.

After careful thinking, Wen Jiu realized.

It was Lin Yingyun Mountain’s breath.

”Almost forgot, Lu Changyin never said Lin Yingyun Mountain was dead, and no one ever found his body. They only said he was defeated under the Jinhua Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder.” Wen Jiu didn’t care, living or dying was trivial.

With the Corpse Fate Technique, despite needing more corpse energy than previously, it was still possible to divine.

Upon divination, his remaining lifespan was only a year.

A year is not even long for mortals, let alone for cultivators who casually go into seclusion for a year and a half?

”When I previously met him, he refused to be reincarnated and start over, unwilling to accept it. This time, I wonder if he still clings to life or has changed his mind?” Wen Jiu’s only curiosity about Lin Yingyun Mountain lay in this.
