Chapter 654 - 319: Stabilizing the Lu Family’s Situation, Death of Black Crow Zhenren
"Indeed, this kind of Golden Core major influence with a foundation of thousands of years cannot be underestimated. If thousands of years can achieve this, then those Nascent Soul major influences with tens of thousands of years must be tremendously powerful." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, but he didn’t dwell on it and continued to control the East Spring Undying Bone towards Qi Mountain.
Three days later.
Wen Jiu received a signal from Longteng Qianyue’s Communication Stone.
"Master, what should the subordinate do?" Longteng Qianyue’s respectful voice sounded.
Wen Jiu, controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, replied, "Return and continue to stir things up with the Qi Family people. In short, the Qi Family’s assets must be obtained, even if it means going to war with Red Fire Zhenren."
"Understood!"
Longteng Qianyue responded.
After putting away the Communication Stone, Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction. In this way, Qi Guang Sect has a reason to continue the war with the Longteng Family. At that time, even if the Longteng Family doesn’t want to fight, they must. The western situation can become chaotic again.
However, even though it becomes chaotic, with the Domain Lord’s Mansion there, the two family’s ancestors should not openly act within a short period, so the conflicts will be at the lower levels at most. The more chaotic it is at the lower levels, the less attention can be given to the Lu Family.
The Lu Family can remain stable, and his corpse nourishing resources can also stay stable.
His goal is to cultivate the East Spring Undying Bone to the Tier Three Upper Realm before leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain.
Or even higher.
For this goal, he doesn’t mind if some people die. Since embarking on the path of heterodox cultivation, he can only walk straight down it, dreaming of remaining unstained by the mud is forever impossible.
...
At the time when the East Spring Undying Bone was returning to Qi Mountain, Lu Feng suddenly communicated, reporting honestly the situation after Red Fire Zhenren came to East Pole Immortal City. In just seven days, Red Fire Zhenren took over all the Qi Family’s territories in the Lu Family’s hands with Qi Guang Sect’s forces, forcibly driving away Longteng Qianyue’s people.
Lu Feng in East Pole Immortal City didn’t let it happen, not a step yielded, because once Red Fire Zhenren secures a foothold in East Pole Immortal City, it definitely wouldn’t be without trouble, fortunately, Red Fire Zhenren also didn’t ask for it proactively.
Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised by this, after all, Qi Guang Sect sent Red Fire Zhenren, and the purpose wasn’t to consume the Lu Family.
If the sole purpose were to destroy the Lu Family, it wouldn’t be Red Fire Zhenren who’d come, but someone equal to Longteng Qianyue. Only by maintaining a stalemate for longer can the greatest benefits be obtained from the Lu Family.
It can even take the opportunity to revert the Lu Family to being a Qi Guang Sect vassal, annually offering an ample amount of cultivation resources.
Nevertheless, Red Fire Zhenren is no saint either, although not demanding the Qi Family’s territory within East Pole Immortal City, they did take several Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Veins, particularly those areas close to the Longteng Family’s influence, and purchased a large land piece within two Tier Three Spiritual Veins, officially to open a Trading House, but the real purpose is clear.
Whether it’s to serve Qi Guang Sect’s plan or for personal gain is unknown. Regardless of Red Fire Zhenren’s purpose, the Tier Three Spiritual Veins are central to the Lu Family, Lu Feng did not immediately agree.
Lu Feng intended to discuss with the Lu Family Elders, but considering the gravity of the matter, he then communicated with the East Spring Undying Bone.
Wen Jiu pondered for a long time, not letting Lu Feng refuse, because the future of Qi Guang Sect is uncertain. Would they be able to spawn a late stage of Golden Core cultivator after Lin Yingyun Mountain’s death? Can Lin Yingyun Mountain protect his family business thereafter?
In Wen Jiu’s view, once Lin Yingyun Mountain dies, Qi Guang Sect will likely collapse, even with plans in motion, without spawning a late stage Golden Core cultivator, glory will surely gradually fade. Temporarily selling the land of the Tier Three Spiritual Vein to Red Fire Zhenren is of no consequence, won’t be difficult to reclaim when East Spring Undying Bone achieves Tier Three Upper Realm.
Stabilize the Lu Family’s position, secure the corpse nourishing resources, the time for East Spring Undying Bone to reach Tier Three Upper Realm won’t be long.
...
Just as Wen Jiu expected, after Red Fire Zhenren settled in, it was not merely opening a Trading House.
Within two Tier Three Spiritual Veins, Qi Guang Sect’s subordinate influences slowly started appearing, though unseen are Qi Guang Sect cultivators, the subordinate influences of Qi Guang Sect frequently clash with Longteng Family’s forces upon their appearance.
Other places are similarly affected.
Under Wen Jiu’s orders, Longteng Qianyue indulged none of Qi Guang Sect’s cultivators, with one command—fight!
The two families haven’t declared war.
Yet the subordinates show signs of major confrontation.
Subordinates have already started fighting, be it Qi Guang Sect or Longteng Family, how could they remain unscathed?
Wen Jiu was indifferent to these matters, upon receiving Lu Feng’s news, he merely listened like a story. While the Four Corpses and Five Ghosts continued their duties, the cultivation of living medicine Wen Jiu fostered in Donghua Immortal City progressed well.
With the corpse concealment yin array set by Gongyang Fu’s cultivation method, the integration of Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine with the corpses accelerated. Further concealing the corpses with Yin Earth, within seven days, two Tier Three Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines were integrated with the corpses.
Of course, corpse nourishing medicine, since its origin is Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, it should ideally be cultivated in Yin Veins or Land of Death, or Desolate Lands for optimal results, yet Gongyang Fu sent an abundance of yin fiend objects to Wen Jiu upon commencing cultivation, making up for the absence of Yin Veins during cultivation, thereby transforming Wen Jiu’s cultivation chamber into a Land of Death.
The room was also cloaked in a Spirit Separation Array set by Gongyang Fu after midnight, preventing any Spiritual Qi from entering. After the integration in Yin Earth between Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine and corpses, the cultivation officially began.
Following this, Gongyang Fu’s old steward visited every three days, seemingly inquiring about needs but in truth observing progress daily. After starting cultivation, it required the Nine Nether Qi for fostering, as Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine began converting to living medicine. Of course, a special cultivation method must be admired.
