Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Looking up.

Today’s sunshine is truly warm.

Everything is developing according to plan.

There have been twists and turns.

But no surprises.

Truly wonderful!

...

Three days later.

After Gongyang Fu’s old steward visited again, Wen Jiu and Wuxinming left Donghua Immortal City under the cover of night.

After five days, they finally arrived at the Southern Zhao Family.

The Southern Zhao Family, located on a Tier Three Spiritual Vein, does not have outstanding spiritual vein quality. If someone forms a core once, it might take a century for it to recover. However, regardless, the Zhao Family is still a Golden Core Influence.

With its spirit vein as the center, an area of three to four thousand miles belongs to the Zhao Family’s territory, but there are also Golden Core Influences in its east, south, west, and north. Some are friendly, while others are in opposition to the Zhao Family.

To the south, the Huang Family, and to the west, the Beast Taming Zhong Family, are enemies of the Zhao Family. Each of the two families has a Golden Core Ancestor, on par with Black Crow Zhenren. However, the Golden Core Ancestors of both families still have two to three hundred years of life left, whereas Zhao Ya’s lifespan is running short.

This is also why Zhao Ya sought a glimmer of hope in Donghua Immortal City. But due to his declining years, he dared not carry the last hope with him, so he left the collected Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine in the heart of the Zhao Family.

Protected by a Tier Three Middle Grade Killing Array and located deep within the Zhao Family, Black Crow Zhenren felt at ease to go to Donghua Immortal City.

This was the result of Wen Jiu’s divination.

Wuxinming also mentioned something similar on the way.

As for killing Black Crow Zhenren, that was the doing of the Beast Taming Zhong Family’s Ancestor, which Wuxinming was unaware of.

Wen Jiu didn’t plan to tell him; whether he could discover it after taking over the Zhao Family was up to him.

Upon arriving at the Zhao Family, the heart of the family was still very calm, as if nothing had happened. However, with a sweep of Divine Sense, Wen Jiu discovered that six Fake Pill Cultivators were gathering in the core area of the Tier Three Yin Vein.

For a Golden Core Influence with only one Golden Core in residence, six Fake Pills probably constituted their entire foundation.

An illogical situation where all Fake Pills are gathered in the Yin Vein’s core across a three or four thousand mile territory. Normally, the Lu Family’s Golden Cores are scattered outside and have never all turned up at East Pole Immortal City together.

Even though East Pole Immortal City boasts superior spiritual veins compared to all their Tier Three Spiritual Veins, cultivation in East Pole Immortal City is faster.

"It seems Black Crow Zhenren informed them of some news before his demise, so they are waiting for us," Wuxinming said, pausing mid-air and overlooking Zhao Family’s spirit veins. "Without a doubt, Zhao Ya has had arrangements made long ago, gaining easy access to those Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines would require passing through the Zhao Family members."

With that said,

Wuxinming looked down at the Zhao Family territory and couldn’t help but laugh, "A vast Golden Core Influence is about to fall into my hands... Establishing such a Golden Core Influence, even with a Golden Core to recruit outsiders, would still take several hundred years to develop to such prosperity and foundation."

"Let’s go down and take a look."

Wen Jiu had already used Corpse Fate Technique for divination, not missing any of the Zhao Family’s six Fake Pill Cultivators.

After confirming there was no Celestial Secret or fate entanglement behind them, Wen Jiu calmly proceeded downward.

"Hmm-hmm."

Wuxinming transformed into a Startled Swan and charged into the Yin Vein, with Wen Jiu following closely.

When they appeared outside the Yin Vein’s formation, the six waiting Fake Pill Cultivators rose in unison and transformed into Startled Swans to fly out. Led by Zhao Family’s Great Elder, Zhao Hongtu, they simultaneously bowed in salute.

"Zhao Hongtu of the Zhao Family, along with all Zhao Family Elders, greets the two seniors, welcoming you to the Zhao Family."

"Welcome, seniors!"

"Welcome, seniors!"

All six bowed in succession, extremely respectful and somewhat akin to how Foundation Establishment Cultivators encounter a Golden Core.

When the children of the Zhao Family beneath the Yin Vein saw this scene, they prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices like waves continuously welcoming Wuxinming and Wen Jiu’s arrival. In the Yin Vein, all the people kowtowed.

Tens of thousands of people knelt uniformly on the ground, a rather magnificent sight. And Wen Jiu, overlooking from above, saw everything clearly.

In truth,

This scene, to Wen Jiu, was still impactful but not surprising. Because a Golden Core Zhenren, even at the early stage, is a pinnacle existence in the Cultivation Realm. In the eyes of Qi and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, a Golden Core is like heaven.

As for the Middle and Late Stages of Golden Core, they already belong to legend in their eyes, seldom seen.

"Please, two seniors, this way!"

Zhao Hongtu was the first to speak, and the six of them immediately divided into two rows to welcome Wen Jiu and Wuxinming into the Yin Vein’s core.

Wuxinming, with hands folded behind his back, flew ahead, and Wen Jiu followed closely. Just as they were about to reach the Lu Clan Territory, they found a grand banquet already prepared. Hundreds of graceful, scantily clad Qi and Foundation Establishment Female Cultivators were waiting outside the hall. There were musicians, dancers, and even maids serving Spirit Wine.

However, Wen Jiu noticed their aura was similar to Zhao Hongtu’s, clearly cultivating the same type of Zhao Family Technique.

In other words, they are of the same lineage as Zhao Hongtu.

The main lineage of the Zhao Family.

Wen Jiu even noticed a female cultivator who, despite having a bone age of only around thirty, had an extremely beautiful appearance and had achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection.

She would absolutely be considered a genius within the Zhao Family.

The type that should receive focused cultivation.

Yet today, she was merely a dancer welcoming them.

"Is this what a Golden Core Clan looks like without a Golden Core in residence?" Wen Jiu’s gaze swept over everything, yet remained calm. If he were to truly attend this banquet, the one pouring him wine would probably be a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator from the Zhao Family.

If he were a practitioner skilled in dual cultivation, the talented female cultivators of the Zhao Family would likely all serve as his concubines tonight.

Wen Jiu still had no surprises.
