Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

"Mountain formation?" Wen Jiu tried to discern soul memories but couldn't find any related information, and even Zang Qianjian and the others were entirely in the dark about the mountain formation.

Nangong Huan explained, "Simply put, it's a formation that envelops the core region of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range."

"The core region of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range spans forty to fifty thousand miles. Can the formation cover such a vast area?"

A Tier Three Array can cover hundreds of miles at its limit, and at most a thousand miles. But a formation that covers tens of thousands of miles, can this still be considered within the Tier Three domain?

"A typical Tier Three Array, whether it's a Ghost Array, Yin Array, Puppet Array, or Gu Array, even at Tier Three Top Grade, couldn't possibly cover forty to fifty thousand miles. But a mountain formation is feasible." Nangong Huan seemed reluctant to elaborate, "If Fellow Daoist is willing to lend me Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley, the Spirit Suppressing Army will certainly offer generous rewards, ensuring neither Fellow Daoist nor the Lu Family suffers a loss. Although the Yin Vein will suffer some damage afterward, it will undoubtedly recover within a century."

"After this battle, will the Lu Family or I care for these things?" Wen Jiu didn't refuse previously, because he wanted to hear the reasoning, but this matter was decided from the start.

Impossible!

If Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley were given away, what would be the point of exposing a disguise or the significance of the External Golden Core?

The Celestial Yin Qi is vital to the Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine, and it's closely tied to the Undying Corpse Demon and Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend.

This is crucial for his Corpse Nourishing, more so than leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain to seek Nascent Soul Land.

Still, Nangong Huan is one of the Four Divine Generals, backed by the Domain Lord who has achieved Golden Core Perfection.

Direct refusal might not be an option either.

The East Spring Undying Bone's strength isn't quite at that level yet.

"Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain are vital for nurturing my External Golden Core and are key to the realm breakthrough. However, being a cultivator of the West Mountain Floating Domain, it's impossible for me to remain aloof if Fellow Daoist needs my External Golden Core elsewhere; I'll consider it."

Nangong Huan fell into silence, initially planning to say more, but upon considering the matters of realm breakthrough, he couldn't think of anything further. The difficulty in cultivating an External Golden Core is known throughout the lower reaches of the Heaven-Reaching River.

Having reached this point, choosing to remain with the Lu Family, staying at Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain instead of venturing deeper into the Heaven-Reaching River, how would he easily lend out Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain?

Moreover, he's unsure what to offer in return. Too precious, and he can't afford it.

Too ordinary.

How could the other party take interest in such?

"Then, thanks in advance, Fellow Daoist. May I ask how long it will take for your External Golden Core to reach breakthrough?" Nangong Huan asked after raising his hand in thanks.

Wen Jiu responded, "Within fifteen to twenty years."

The East Spring Undying Bone's Undying Corpse Demon bloodline currently increases by two thousand five hundred points of experience per month. It will overflow with experience after only three years and one season to reach one hundred thousand experience. The other two corpses require the same amount of time.

The Five Ghosts take longer, as their nurturing effect is only half that of the Three Corpses, but it still requires just six and a half years. The total time needed for all Four Corpses and Five Ghosts amounts to roughly sixteen or seventeen years.

Of course.

This does not account for the potential doubling of the Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine production later.

If production increases.

The time required will also decrease.

But these details are not for outsiders to know.

"Then congratulations in advance, Fellow Daoist." Nangong Huan was somewhat surprised, not doubting the truth of these words but recognizing they conflicted with the setup time for the mountain formation, making resolution difficult.

While Nangong Huan contemplated, Wen Jiu added, "If, twenty years later, Fellow Daoist Nangong needs Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley, you can have both Yin Veins, but not now."

"Understood."

Nangong Huan stood up and cupped his hands.

Another tentative question.

"If my Spirit Suppressing Army manages to maintain the Yin Spirit Qi of Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley, keeping them unchanged, definitely not entering without your consent, is that possible?"

Now it was Wen Jiu's turn to ponder.

However, he was considering whether to seize this opportunity to involve the East Spring Undying Bone. The Life Plate analysis mentioned whether to avoid or embrace requires careful deliberation. If handled properly, the danger approaches zero.

Based on previous Celestial Secret and fate information, if he refuses entirely, he will gain nothing, as the Domain Lord's Mansion will surely exclude him.

If they truly can maintain the Yin Spirit Qi and don't set foot in the core region, it might be feasible.

With the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone, unless the Domain Lord comes personally, it's impossible to probe the situation within the Cold Pond. As for Qi Mountain, it can be blocked by the Array of Ten Thousand Professions.

"For these matters, Fellow Daoist Nangong finds them particularly tricky, even resorting to deploying a Tier Three Yin Vein to set up a mountain formation. Why not ask the Domain Lord to step in?" Wen Jiu asked tentatively.

Nangong Huan furrowed his brow, glanced at Deng Lai, who promptly bowed and withdrew, not daring to stay.

After Deng Lai left, Nangong Huan didn't explain, only speaking, "Some things can only be discussed with you in person when your true self is present. I'm somewhat familiar with the capabilities of the External Golden Core. If you accept the solution I proposed earlier, I will hold nothing back."

"Very well."

Wen Jiu didn't hesitate and prepared to release the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet to test its effects.

In the next moment.

Under the transmission of the East Spring Undying Bone, the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet instantly set off, transforming into a Startled Swan, flying toward the Mountain Pavilion painting.

Deng Lai was about to inquire when he saw Nangong Huan already stepping out to meet him, "Seeing your true form is a great honor. Fellow Daoist can nurture such a mighty External Golden Core. With time, you will easily reach the Golden Core Peak, and Nascent Soul Dao Fruit will certainly be within reach."
