Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Wuxinming admitted that he came for Gongyang Fu, a fact that did not surprise Wen Jiu, but he was quite curious about Wuxinming’s deeper intentions, "Fellow Daoist Wu, what kind of pill are you going to refine that requires a Tier Three Top-Grade Yin Alchemist to take action?"

An early-stage Golden Core, aren’t those Tier Three Lower-Grade Yin Pills and Tier Three Middle-Grade Yin Pills enough for you?

Do you really need to consume Tier Three Top-Grade Yin Pills?

"Can’t say, can’t say." Wuxinming gave a sly smile and did not mention another word.

Wuxinming did not wish to elaborate, and Wen Jiu was too lazy to ask further, yet he always felt that Wuxinming’s purpose for seeking him out wasn’t that simple.

As expected, the next moment Wuxinming asked, "I wonder what Young Friend He Jiu plans to give. Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If your family elder learns of this, he would surely ask you to prepare a significant gift. With Gongyang Fu’s background, and his own foundation as a Tier Three Yin Alchemist and a Heterodox Golden Core, if you can establish this connection, those Golden Core Influences that are eyeing you covetously will have to hold back somewhat."

"Just send something, by all means."

Wen Jiu casually replied.

Wuxinming quickly said, "How can you just casually send something? If your family elder knows about it, he will surely scold you harshly. You must understand, if you usually bring gifts, Gongyang Fu would not even glance at you. After all, there are too many people delivering gifts on regular days. This opportunity is truly rare, and to earn some good will, Gongyang Fu can hardly refuse people from miles away.

Moreover, if you need to use elixir pills in the future, for refining any Yin Pill, you can have him help. Among Tier Three Lower-Grade Yin Alchemists, Gongyang Fu is top-tier within the entire West Mountain Floating Domain. Especially the Tier Three Celestial Yin Pill, where can ordinary Tier Three Yin Alchemists have frequent chances to refine it?

Only such a major sect’s Alchemist has such a foundation. In the future, if your descendants need to find a Tier Three Yin Alchemist for alchemy, Gongyang Fu would be the first choice. If you go to others, neither quality nor quantity can be guaranteed."

Wen Jiu quietly listened; he did not believe Wuxinming was someone who would care and consider for others so much.

Wait a minute.

Usually, if someone you’re not very familiar with or just getting acquainted with starts caring for you in various ways.

There’s only one possibility.

Borrowing Spirit Stones!

Wen Jiu deliberately said, "Actually, it’s just mainly because I’m strapped for cash. I just recently broke through a realm, and stabilizing my cultivation has consumed a lot. Given the current situation of the He Family, they can’t offer me much help, so there isn’t much I can do."

"See, I just knew it." Wuxinming wore an expression as if he had expected this all along, "No worries, I and your family’s elder share a bond of true camaraderie. Spirit Stones and such, I can lend them to you. Let me tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you just miss it. Golden Core Cultivators don’t readily have offspring, and next time could be decades away, or even a century later. Can you really afford to wait that long?"

"Huh?"

Wen Jiu was taken aback.

Forgot about this.

Before Wen Jiu could say anything more, Wuxinming poured on further temptation, "Think about it, and once you figure it out, come find me. Don’t worry about any interest; I and your family elder share a bond of true friendship. You won’t need to pay a single cent. Just casually sign a Spirit Contract, and as long as you repay within a hundred years, it will be fine."

No interest.

Repay within a hundred years.

Casually sign a Spirit Contract.

Is there really such a good thing in this world?

Something’s not right.

Something’s very wrong.

Afterwards, Wuxinming didn’t linger much, seemingly genuinely giving Wen Jiu some time to think and ponder.

Under Wen Jiu’s Divine Sense, Wuxinming had no sooner left his door than he entered another Golden Core Zhenren’s door.

Within one day, Wuxinming visited five or six families.

"It seems this is one of Wuxinming’s objectives in coming to Donghua Immortal City." Wen Jiu thought of the no-interest, pay within a hundred years and felt something was amiss. Surely it’s not some demonic evil technique that controls the soul if you owe Spirit Stones?

"It seems quite likely the issue lies in the Spirit Contract; something casual is often a trap."

Wen Jiu collected his thoughts, deciding not to dwell on it, no matter what Wuxinming said, he wouldn’t change his own plans.

...

Half a month passed quickly.

Wuxinming came to see him twice more, but Wen Jiu always shrugged it off, mainly striving for not wishing to borrow even a single Spirit Stone. Judging from Wuxinming’s expression, neither angry nor pleased, it was likely that some people borrowed, yet others did not.

During this period, the news of Gongyang Fu’s child spread throughout Donghua Immortal City, and at the same time, Gongyang Fu announced that at the end of the month, he would host a feast to celebrate the Circulation, albeit just a small family celebration.

So only Golden Core could visit.

Clearly.

Gongyang Fu also harbored his own thoughts.

On the day of the Circulation celebration, even though Gongyang Fu had explicitly stated that only Golden Core Cultivators might visit, a large number of Foundation Establishment Influences still sought to blend into the inner city, trying to break Gongyang Fu’s rules with unique treasures offered as gifts, but Gongyang Fu did not give them any opportunity; even Foundation Establishment Cultivators had no right to approach the Hua Mansion.

In the absence of a way to deliver gifts, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators could only leave helplessly. Of course, it’s not that they wanted to leave, but the inner city could not be entered without a Golden Core’s command, and even with an entrance, one could not remain long. As for those who trespass, it goes without saying, there was no formation barrier, but even a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator who trespasses would be immediately killed.

The cultivation area where the Golden Core Cultivators reside equates to an absolute forbidden zone. The core region of the inner city of Donghua Immortal City is hundreds of times more dangerous than any of the West Mountain Floating Domain’s forbidden areas or cultivator’s forbidden zones.

Just as Wen Jiu hadn’t prepared to head out early, Wuxinming was already at the door, seeming inclined to accompany him. With Wuxinming were another three individuals, precisely that pair of Golden Core Dao Companions that Wen Jiu had encountered before.
