Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Wen Jiu merely swept his Divine Sense and sensed the presence of two or three late-stage Golden Core auras, all comparable to the presence of Lin Yingyun Mountain from the Qi Guang Sect. Truly worthy of being the first Independent Practitioner Immortal City in the West Mountain Floating Domain.

During this visit to Donghua Immortal City, Wen Jiu did not alter his appearance, instead showing his true face, for the purpose of this trip was the East Splendor Divine Palace.

Although the Hidden God Technique is indeed useful, as one’s realm progresses, the Golden Core cultivators who practice the Divine Soul Technique increase in number, making it easier for cultivators to see through the Hidden God Technique.

Moreover, Donghua Immortal City is a place even the Domain Lord’s Mansion cannot intervene. Even though it does not have the Foundation Establishment Perfection like the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, the Palace Master of the East Splendor Divine Palace is certainly extraordinary.

Instead of being seen through later, it’s better to be honest and play a hand of sincerity. Sometimes sincerity is also a strategy.

Regarding the entry of Golden Core cultivators into the city, Donghua Immortal City did not treat them like ordinary Loose Cultivators. When Wen Jiu and He Changyi arrived, several Golden Core cultivators came out to welcome and interrogate them, asking very detailed questions.

Especially towards Wen Jiu.

Fortunately, along the way, He Changyi explained in detail the fabricated background and experience, so it was not difficult to handle. Furthermore, the identity of He Changyi as the Patriarch of the He Family was not fake, so the people of Donghua Immortal City did not inquire too deeply.

When they learned that Wen Jiu intended to reside long-term in Donghua Immortal City, they asked a few more questions. He Changyi responded with prepared answers. The He Family is currently in a precarious situation, and leaving He Jiu in Donghua Immortal City is to ensure the He Family has a hope for revival, so they won’t be completely destroyed without a chance to rise again.

The Golden Core cultivator responsible for questioning in Donghua Immortal City, after looking at the reports handed by subordinates, did not have any suspicions and immediately processed a Long-term Residence Order for Wen Jiu. Moreover, upon learning of Wen Jiu’s long-term residency, they generously gifted a grand mansion in the city center of Donghua Immortal City as a gesture of goodwill.

The mansion wasn’t large, but being located in the center of Donghua Immortal City and a Tier Three Top-Grade Large Spiritual Vein area, its value was extraordinary. Of course, it seemed Wen Jiu gained a lot, but actually, the one gaining more was still the East Splendor Divine Palace.

After all, having an additional Golden Core resident brings consumer benefits and advancements that a single mansion cannot compare to. However, Wen Jiu did not immediately accept it, intending to observe first.

What he needed was to approach people from the East Splendor Divine Palace, particularly those who could converse with upper-level figures, and perhaps allow him to board the big ship of the East Splendor Divine Palace at any time to head to the depths of the lower Heaven-Reaching River.

Therefore, the decision on the mansion’s location, Wen Jiu decided to make after receiving further information from Lu Changyin.

A few days ago, Lu Changyin had already gone to the Dark Altar Sub-Branch to investigate the information collected by the Demon Sect, and should respond soon. In such a vast Donghua Immortal City, Wen Jiu couldn’t believe there weren’t people from the Cyan Demon Lineage.

...

After coming out of the City Lord’s Mansion of Donghua Immortal City, He Changyi enthusiastically invited Wen Jiu to a tavern named Celestial Dance, one of the three most luxurious taverns in Donghua Immortal City.

Including song performances and gambling, those willing to spend Flower Spirit Stones could even invite a Fake Pill Female Cultivator to perform. Its extravagance deters ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators from entering.

Upon entering, several scantily-clad Foundation Establishment Female Cultivators warmly greeted them. Even though Wen Jiu wasn’t fond of women, he couldn’t help but glance more, too white, too soft.

Seeing this, He Changyi’s first words were to call for a few more, ultimately bringing seven or eight Foundation Establishment Female Cultivators into the private room.

Wen Jiu didn’t indulge in such pastimes but wanted to experience it. However, not to see the fair skin beneath the female cultivators’ garments, but because what they provided wasn’t only dual cultivation, but also calming songs and spiritual music. If a cultivator encountered a Heart Demon or Spirit Body damage, they could rely on the female cultivators in the tavern with songs, music, and dual cultivation to recover. The effect was far superior to most elixirs.

When He Changyi introduced this, Wen Jiu was somewhat curious. As he knew, the West Mountain Floating Domain did not have such techniques or methods, clearly indicating it originated from outside the West Mountain Floating Domain.

After several calming dance performances, Wen Jiu had to admire the mystique of this cultivation method.

Unfortunately.

The effect wasn’t significant for him.

However, for Foundation Establishment cultivators with damaged Divine Souls, they could probably recover significantly after just two performances, and with no side effects. However, a single performance was of high value, not affordable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist He, if there’s something, just say it outright." Wen Jiu, while drinking and watching the performance, covertly communicated.

He Changyi, smiling broadly, replied, "Master Han is indeed straightforward. Actually, I have an unreasonable request. Since you are now staying in Donghua Immortal City, as the first Independent Practitioner Immortal City in the West Mountain Floating Domain, although there aren’t many Heterodox Cultivators residing, the flow of them is unlike any other Immortal City, so I’d like to ask you to help acquire something, and sell some Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine."

Before Wen Jiu could refuse, He Changyi continued to communicate, offering an unexpected reward, "As long as you agree, I’ll share fifty percent of the proceeds from selling Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine as your reward. The He Family will handle the sales; you only need to deter scoundrels, and you can use this opportunity to further conceal yourself, without arousing suspicion."

"I fear I must disappoint Master He." Wen Jiu, without thinking further, directly refused, not bothering to ask what He Changyi needed to acquire, "I came to Donghua Immortal City under other arrangements by my superior. These matters, you’ll have to find another way."

"I see; naturally, the superior’s tasks take precedence." He Changyi, without any hesitation, instantly disregarded his previous words. This is the effect of the Five Ghosts Soul Control, prioritizing the command of the controller above all.

Wen Jiu said nothing more. After staying in the tavern for a few more days, Lu Changyin finally had news.

Early that morning, Lu Changyin quietly communicated the East Spring Undying Bone, and Wen Jiu received the message immediately thanks to the effect of an external object.

To Wen Jiu’s surprise, Lu Changyin had managed to obtain comprehensive information about the East Splendor Divine Palace, with detailed data on the Golden Core cultivators. Four late-stage Golden Core cultivators reside at the East Splendor Divine Palace; two are locals from the West Mountain Floating Domain, while the others hail from different floating domains.

Speaking of the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators, they aren’t many within the whole West Mountain Floating Domain. For the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, the power of the Western Spirit Suppressing Army alone is sufficient to surpass them.

Not to mention there’s also the Celestial River Guard and the Spirit Control Department.

Information from the Dark Altar Lineage of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect revealed that the reason the West Mountain Floating Domain doesn’t dare interfere with Donghua Immortal City is actually the Town Guardian Spirit Beast of Donghua Immortal City—a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Beast Nu Zhen. Comparable to a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator, and its overall strength even exceeds that of the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord.

"But my Divine Sense hasn’t detected a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Beast," Wen Jiu couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.

The power of this Spirit Beast is indeed fearsome, no wonder it allows someone controlling nearly the entire floating domain to tolerate others sleeping peacefully beside them.

This also piqued Wen Jiu’s curiosity about the forces behind the East Splendor Divine Palace, but there was no related intelligence in the Dark Altar of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. However, it’s definitely not because the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is unaware, but because the Dark Altar Lineage simply doesn’t have it.

Subsequently, Wen Jiu carefully reviewed the information Lu Changyin provided, which included identifying the most suitable Golden Core Zhenren he could approach based on his needs, totaling five people, ranging from the Early Stage of Golden Core to the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Although their cultivation levels and strengths varied, all their masters were late-stage Golden Core cultivators of the East Splendor Divine Palace.

However, mid-stage Golden Core individuals, with their higher status and influence, are not easily approachable, and forming good relationships with them would be even more challenging. Without revealing his strength, it would inevitably require a cost.

But this approach could easily make these mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, who prioritize profit, see him as a fool to be taken advantage of.

Therefore, Wen Jiu’s choice was to target those in the Early Stage of Golden Core.

A total of three people.
