Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

"What if Gongyang Fu and Wuxinming help him?" Li Zhi asked.

Zhong Qi smiled faintly, indifferent, "So what if they help? Who doesn’t have a backup plan? Even though the matter of the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills has already been bound by a Heart Demon Oath and Silencing Spell, ensuring it cannot be spread, there will still be those willing to act against them if he comes seeking us. We don’t even need to lift a finger."

"Husband, did you contact them?"

Fleeting fear appeared in Li Zhi’s eyes.

Zhong Qi nodded, "I had to reach out to them, but it’s okay. Even if Gongyang Fu knows we have Demon Cultivators assisting us, he won’t expose us. Whether it’s the East Splendor Divine Palace or the forces behind them, they all have close ties with Outer Hidden Demons. As for Gongyang Fu, unless he enters the Middle Stage of Golden Core, our use for him is certainly greater than that for He Jiu. Would he turn against us for the sake of a dead He Jiu?"

"As long as you are confident, husband, I won’t say more. I’m just worried that by cooperating with Demon Cultivators, we might end up with nothing."

"Some grudges must be avenged, even if there’s no benefit in it. Besides, once I break through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, He Jiu and the He Family will have to repay us tenfold." Zhong Qi spoke bitterly.

The next moment, Li Zhi embraced Zhong Qi like a little woman, holding him tightly.

"Husband, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Zhong Qi smiled blissfully but then sighed, "It’s a pity we can’t both reach the Middle Stage of Golden Core; you’re only a Low-Rank Golden Core, and of poor quality at that. Breaking through on your own is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

"It’s all He Jiu’s fault!"

Zhong Qi’s last words were sulky beyond compare.

His gaze toward Li Zhi was as tender and loving as it was furious when mentioning the name He Jiu.

...

Seven or eight days later.

East Spring Undying Bone arrived at the Independent Practitioner Market where Wen Jiu resided, and once East Spring Undying Bone arrived, Wen Jiu promptly boarded the Tier Three Flying Ship of East Splendor Divine Palace within the Independent Practitioner Market to return to Donghua Immortal City.

As soon as the Flying Ship took off, East Spring Undying Bone exited the Independent Practitioner Market and headed straight for its destination.

When the Flying Ship landed at Donghua Immortal City, East Spring Undying Bone also arrived at the Tier Three Spiritual Vein where Zhong Qi was located.

At this moment, Zhong Qi was undergoing a Realm Breakthrough.

Clearly intentional.

East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense immediately detected the presence of a concealed Demon Cultivator thousands of miles away.

A Middle Stage Demon Core cultivator.

Wen Jiu paid little heed to Demon Core cultivators at the Middle Stage, but upon detecting this one, his Divine Sense couldn’t look away. For the first time, Wen Jiu sensed a Demon Cultivator emitting the aura of East Spring River, in resonance with East Spring Undying Bone, and its bloodline aura even surpassed that of East Spring Undying Bone.

Fortunately, East Spring Undying Bone could employ Hidden God Technique and Ghost Concealment Three Rivers, and his Divine Sense was far superior, so the Demon Cultivator did not detect East Spring Undying Bone’s presence. Yet this provoked considerable curiosity in Wen Jiu.

He immediately used Corpse Fate Technique for divination, and luck was on his side. Though this Demon Cultivator possessed a Celestial Secret Magical Artifact, it was of low grade, and Wen Jiu could indeed perform divination on it, albeit at several times the usual cost.

But as the saying goes, the cost isn’t the issue, the inability to divinate is.

The expenditure in corpse energy exceeded Wen Jiu’s expectations, and to divine the detailed information of its Demon Body, it instantly depleted Three Thousand Blood Inks, Formless Demon Corpse, and the energy and spirit of the five ghosts.

Truth be told, it was the largest consumption of corpse energy for the Golden Core stage that Wen Jiu had encountered, yet it turned out that the true drain of energy was for the Demon Body nurtured by East Spring River, yielding exceptional celestial secret and fate information.

Its Demon Body was named East Spring Water Demon Body, requiring nurturing at the end of an East Spring River. The river’s end was boundless, and no cultivator could reach it regardless of how they flew.

However, there existed Qi Fortune Takers, a type of people who, although not fated to become immortals or ancestors like in novels, possessed luck far above ordinary people, perhaps just once, but that’s enough to soar to great heights. This reason allowed reaching the end of East Spring River.

Based on this alone, this person must die. Wen Jiu needed its memory to see if a method to reach the end of East Spring River could be found.

Employing Corpse Fate Technique for calculating East Spring River’s end location proved more challenging than divining a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Because of this difficulty, East Spring Water Demon Body was stronger than East Spring Undying Bone, with celestial secrets far more profound.

Initially, Wen Jiu observed celestial secret and fate information concerning the former owners of East Spring Water Demon Body, each related to Nascent Soul-level celestial secrets. While not all are alive, their deaths after obtaining Demon Infant Dao Fruit indicated the pathway to the Nascent Soul Realm was inevitable for those cultivating East Spring Water Demon Body, its potency akin to his True Spirit Root.

Additionally further celestial secret and fate information was quite astonishing, primarily that the Demon Cultivator with East Spring Water Demon Body had a powerful ability to enter Nine Abysses and traverse Lifeless Netherworld.

Little could be divined of Nine Abysses with Corpse Fate Technique, but knowledge of Nine Nether Qi was considerable. It’s key in cultivating live medicines, and a special vital energy for spawning Demon Spirits. Besides cultivation, as far as Wen Jiu knew, Nine Nether Qi could enhance Demon Spirits or Corpse Souls.

Enhancing Demon Spirits was felt by Wen Jiu during live medicine cultivation and directly strengthening the Corpse Soul was evidenced when live medicine created by Wen Jiu was devoured by East Spring Undying Bone, though no experience was gained, the Corpse Soul showed some enhancement. Of course, it was minimal, possibly enabling the cultivation of the five ghosts.
