Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

"Master He, have you considered it? If you are willing to cooperate, I can help you obtain what Black Crow Zhenren has, and you won’t need to pay any Spirit Stones during the alchemy process. You and my sect’s ancestor were life-and-death friends, so this is also a chance to help the He Family. All you need to do is use Flower Spirit Stones to buy the information about the hidden location."

Wuxinming spoke again, appearing very generous and straightforward, his words very pleasing, unlike the last time when he asked for interest. If Wen Jiu hadn’t just used the Corpse Fate Technique for divination, he might have been convinced.

However, Wen Jiu agreed without even thinking.

"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu!"

Because he had just used the East Spring Undying Bone Corpse Qi to divine this, he discovered a way to break this method.

It wasn’t a spell.

Just a trick.

This business method and Acquired Divine Techniques are domineering, but they have fatal flaws; otherwise, they wouldn’t have fallen into the hands of the Heart Demon Sect. That is, if you want the future obliged party to repay kindly, you truly have to help them.

For example, lending Spirit Stones: if the party has millions of Middle-grade Spirit Stones, but you insist on lending them a hundred thousand, it doesn’t create an obligation, much like the meeting gift Wen Jiu received earlier—it’s just returning favors.

When realizing this, Wen Jiu could only sigh in regret that he hadn’t gone directly to lending Spirit Stones.

Though ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones or a hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones are not much to him, they can buy thousands of Demonic Evil Qi.

No reason not to take them.

If it’s merely a favor exchange, I’ll just repay it when I leave the West Mountain Floating Domain.

Even now, a hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones are nothing, and in the future, they might as well be like a drizzle.

By the same token.

As he had already divined the hidden place of Black Crow Zhenren, even if Wuxinming helped him obtain those Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines, it wouldn’t mean much. He could easily do it himself.

No matter what Wuxinming does, it’s in vain. If it weren’t for Wen Jiu needing the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills and having to cooperate with them for alchemy, he wouldn’t even need to deal with Wuxinming himself.

And this business method has a particularly severe downside, that if unaware, forcibly using a spell can reverse cause and effect. However, it requires making Wuxinming owe him a favor.

In return, Wuxinming must repay him generously.

But Wen Jiu is not interested in Wuxinming’s returns; he is more interested in his complete loyalty after soul control. However, there is a Third-grade top-grade spiritual beast in Donghua Immortal City, and since he must work on alchemy later on, this might be discovered by that spiritual beast.

Therefore, even if he wants to control Wuxinming’s soul, it must be considered later.

While pondering this, Wuxinming spoke again, his eyes unable to hide their joy. Clearly, he’s been waiting anxiously for this day.

"However, I know you’re short on Spirit Stones, so we can skip that, but I do need a favor from you."

"Huh?"

Wen Jiu was taken aback.

Did I hear you right?

You want me to do you a favor?

Are you sure?

Wuxinming quickly added, "No need to worry, it’s a small favor, you don’t even need to take action."

"What kind of favor?"

Wen Jiu inquired.

Since you’ve come to me, I won’t stand on ceremony.

Wuxinming continued, "It’s concerning the family of Black Crow Zhenren, the Southern Zhao Family. To be honest, I want the Zhao Family, but if I get others involved, they will also want a share, so only you. Since you and my sect’s ancestor were life-and-death friends, I trust you. As long as you’re willing to stand behind the Zhao Family with me, I’ll help you get Black Crow Zhenren’s Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine."

"What do you want the Zhao Family for?" Wen Jiu didn’t immediately agree, because a decision made in a split second could dictate the fate of a millennium-old family and tens of thousands of people.

Wuxinming replied, "To establish a foothold in the West Mountain Floating Domain; I have wandered too long, it is time to settle down. Rest assured, you don’t have to act; just reveal your title will suffice."

"Reveal my title? Are you sure?"

Wen Jiu was somewhat puzzled.

Right now, he’s in disguise as He Jiu, a refugee cultivator from East Pole Immortal City, whose own family is in dire straits.

Standing behind the Zhao Family is more likely to get laughed at, isn’t it?

"There aren’t many Golden Core Cultivators who can cooperate with Gongyang Fu. The butler of Gongyang Fu comes every day, courteous and respectful, which everyone has noticed. Those eyeing the Zhao Family are average Golden Core influences, with your title added, along with me, even if they want to target the Zhao Family, they will have to consider it carefully. That’s enough." Wuxinming finished speaking, secretly pleased. If He Jiu agrees, he would owe Wuxinming a huge favor and also find him a foothold in the West Mountain Floating Domain.

Two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Wuxinming couldn’t help but almost laugh aloud. He Jiu, even if you can refuse millions in Spirit Stones,

You can never refuse the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills.

Zhao Ya.

You died beautifully!

"Alright." Wen Jiu feigned difficulty in agreeing, then emphasized, "If there’s truly a Golden Core conflict, I won’t take action, as I am not skilled in combat, everything will be up to you, fellow Daoist."

"Rest assured, with your title, they’ll weigh their actions. Even if there’s a Golden Core conflict later, I’ll handle it." Wuxinming responded lightheartedly, still full of delight.
