Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

At the cold rebuke, Zhao Ming’s face, which could barely maintain a facade of calm with a forced smile, changed dramatically, replaced by a terror stemming from the heart, causing her body to start trembling.

"Forgive me, Senior... Forgive me, Senior... Forgive me, Senior..." Zhao Ming kept kowtowing, her beautiful hair already in disarray.

But she dared not stop.

Because she knew very well that these two seniors before her held the fate of the Zhao Family in their hands; if she angered them, everything the Great Elder and others had done, putting aside their dignity, would be in vain.

Dozens of thousands of people in the Zhao Family would be displaced, or worse, their bodies exposed and abandoned.

Wuxinming spoke coldly, "Black Crow Zhenren really knows how to scheme. Initially, I offered him a chance to cooperate with me, and now not only has he delayed multiple Golden Core plans, but he also has the gall to make such unreasonable demands."

Wen Jiu glanced at Wuxinming, who seemed ready to make trouble, understanding that it was his strategy, and that what Zhao Ming said was essentially irrelevant.

The elders of the Zhao Family, frightened by Wuxinming, were already trembling with fear, each looking more and more grim.

Yet they dared not explain.

The anger of a Golden Core.

Would mean the end of the Zhao Family.

For now, it was best to say less to make fewer mistakes.

Zhao Hongtu explained fearfully, not daring to hope for too much, as his ancestor’s words were decisive, whereas he was alive, "Forgive me, Senior, forgive me. If you are unwilling to take this girl as your disciple, merely agreeing to one condition would suffice."

"Let’s look at the items first; if there’s nothing missing, it won’t be a problem for me to promise protection for your Zhao Family," Wuxinming ceased pressuring, but from Wen Jiu’s perspective, this was likely just the beginning of his plot to subdue the Zhao Family.

However, Wen Jiu had no interest in meddling with such matters; without Wuxinming, the already lost Zhao Family without a Golden Core protector would have a worse fate.

Today, dignity might be lost.

At least they could survive.

If they lost Wuxinming.

The Zhao Family would certainly perish.

Wen Jiu shook off his thoughts and decided not to involve himself in these affairs, though his gaze fell upon that young Female Cultivator, Zhao Ming. The girl’s tender appearance carried some cuteness, with a touch of baby fat, though she couldn’t be considered plump. But this wasn’t the point; the point was when Wen Jiu scanned her with Divine Sense, he felt an inexplicable resonance between her and the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core. This resonance was intangible and undetectable by Divine Sense.

It piqued Wen Jiu’s curiosity. He immediately controlled the Three Thousand Blood Inks to calculate her fate, only to discover that for someone merely at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, predicting her should have consumed far less corpse energy than the recuperation speed. Yet it forcibly consumed a tenth of the Three Thousand Blood Inks’ corpse energy, which seemed minor but was significant for a minor cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. Forecasting a Fake Pill would only need a tenth of the corpse energy.

"Star Fate Chart..." Wen Jiu frowned.

This fate chart was the reason Zhao Ming consumed a tenth of the Three Thousand Blood Inks’ corpse energy, but it wasn’t an extraordinarily remarkable fate chart. It wasn’t a situation like encountering someone with an innate special constitution in novels.

The so-called star fate was actually a meteor.

The Meteor Star Fate Chart, shining brightly while alive, but the downfall was swift, meaning this girl would not have extended longevity.

Now fifteen, she had ninety years left, whether she broke through to Foundation Establishment or achieved Golden Core.

Neither would extend her lifespan.

But according to the celestial secret destiny information from the Corpse Fate Technique, this girl’s cultivation speed would be extremely fast.

"She actually started cultivating at ten," Wen Jiu continued to delve into her celestial secret destiny, somewhat surprised.

To reach the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation in five years was truly astonishing; indeed, she was the fastest Wen Jiu had ever encountered. Zhao Hongtu hadn’t gone into detail, likely not out of fear of leakage, but because this little girl knew how to conceal her prowess.

Because those with the Star Fate Chart can conceal their cultivation so well that even Fake Pill Cultivators cannot discern it.

Perhaps Black Crow Zhenren noticed.

That’s why Zhao Ming was pushed forward.

But Black Crow Zhenren surely didn’t know about the Star Fate Chart, let alone that this girl started cultivating at ten.

"Interesting," Wen Jiu looked over at Zhao Ming twice, noticing Wuxinming becoming aware of this as well.

Wuxinming suddenly realized something, quickly saying, "Master He, why not take this female disciple in? You don’t even have a servant in your mansion, which is quite inconvenient. Let her do some errands for you."

If he could make Zhao Ming Master He Jiu’s disciple, his plan would succeed more gloriously; he desperately needed He Jiu’s backing for the Lu Family.

With Zhao Ming, he could go spread the word in the Golden Core Circle of Donghua Immortal City, establishing that the Lu Family was supported by He Jiu.

Who would question it?

"Let’s see the items first." Wuxinming’s words did make him slightly tempted.

But not tempted to take in a disciple.

He was interested in something within Zhao Ming.

Because although the Star Fate Chart was rare, it didn’t count as a heavily celestial fate chart, thus the Corpse Fate Technique forecasted more detailed information. While Wuxinming spoke, he saw something in the Dark Realm.

The Star Fate Chart, if cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm, would give birth to a special object within the body, known as the Inference Object.

Zhao Ming’s Star Fate Chart was innate, not acquired by accident, so that Inference Object could be termed an Innate Fate Derivation Object. The Innate Fate Derivation Object has no grade, belonging to a unique Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, but can’t be used for alchemy or cultivation. It has only one highly unique function.

Which is serving as a Fate Bearing Object.

As a Fate Bearing Object, it carries destiny and celestial secrets, just like the Life Plate used by the Three Thousand Blood Inks when employing the Corpse Fate Technique. The Life Plate is a Fate Bearing Object, a Magical Artifact for utilizing the Corpse Fate Technique, and a necessity for manifesting destiny insights that cultivators can comprehend in the Dark Realm.
