Chapter 655 - 319: Stabilizing the Lu Family’s Situation, Death of Black Crow Zhenren
Five Aggregates Soul-Severing Heart Sutra.
The sutra is a Yin Technique, a special method to guide the Nine Abyss Nether Qi. Because the Nine Abyss Nether Qi cannot be directly guided through Magical Power and fused with zombies or Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, it requires the cultivator to absorb the Nine Abyss Nether Qi and supplement it with the Five Aggregates Soul-Severing Heart Sutra to help the fusion of the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine and Nine Abyss Nether Qi.
During practice, Wen Jiu discovered that this was a very peculiar Soul Technique, but it has no defensive power or destructive power, nor does it strengthen the Divine Soul. Its function is very singular—to guide the Nine Abyss Nether Qi.
He also found that even with the control of the Five Aggregates Soul-Severing Heart Sutra, the Nine Nether Demonic Qi gradually erodes the controller, but the speed of this erosion is very slow. Each time the Nine Abyss Nether Qi enters the body, it is very weak, imperceptible to anyone below the Late Stage of Golden Core’s Divine Sense. But if accumulated, in eight to ten years, a regular Golden Core cultivator would likely perish within five to ten years. No wonder Gongyang Fu insisted it had to be him, and no wonder Gongyang Fu became his friend as soon as he learned he possessed the Tier Three East Spring Undying Bone.
If it were someone else, even if they had cultivated zombies or ghosts, they probably wouldn’t last long before the residual Nine Abyss Nether Qi in the body reached a lethal amount. It seems only the Tier Three East Spring Undying Bone, Tier Three Body Cultivator can endure longer.
"Probably someone before me has already perished because of this, Gongyang Fu simply couldn’t find a suitable replacement."
Wen Jiu felt his guess was almost certainly correct, but he didn’t care. While Gongyang Fu was using him, he was also using Gongyang Fu. As for the Nine Abyss Nether Qi, the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core can handle it.
The Nine Abyss Nether Qi entered the body, and the power of the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core could easily refine it, even more easily than refining the Celestial Yin Qi. It makes sense, the Nine Abyss Nether Qi could find a way to be utilized, but currently, no one in the Hundred Floating Domains has been rumored to find a way to control the Celestial Yin Qi. Otherwise, would these Floating Domains be so tranquil? Wouldn’t these major Nascent Soul level forces have come to dominate the Celestial Yin Mountain Range long ago?
Even though the Nine Abyss Nether Qi isn’t harmful to him and can even be used for cultivation, Wen Jiu wouldn’t use it for cultivation. First, because the amount is very small and using it is not as beneficial as using Celestial Yin Qi, and second, because cultivating with it is a pure waste of time. Waiting for the Four Corpses and Five Ghosts and Law-Devouring Yin Insect to provide feedback is his cultivation path.
Also, because Gongyang Fu’s old housekeeper visited every three days, soon the surrounding Golden Core cultivators all knew about this. Many Golden Core cultivators came to inquire about the situation, but Wen Jiu did not see any of them.
Wuxinming also visited twice; Wen Jiu opened the door once, but he only inquired about Gongyang Fu, so Wen Jiu didn’t bother to see him the second time.
During the orderly cultivation process, to ensure the cultivation speed was reasonable, Wen Jiu tried to control the daily cultivation time, not using the Gathering Yin Poison Technique, nor using the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques. However, to achieve some success and to give Gongyang Fu long knife’s sweetness, Wen Jiu decided to occasionally swap out the Blood Demon Undying Bone to come to Donghua Immortal City.
He also wanted to try if the cultivated living medicine could be used to nurture the East Spring Undying Bone or Five Ghosts.
...
The next day.
Wen Jiu intended to go out for a walk and take a break, after all, it’s rare to have leisure time, but unexpectedly Wuxinming visited again.
He initially didn’t want to see him, but Wuxinming was blocking the doorway, showing no intention of leaving. Helplessly, Wen Jiu could only open the door.
"Master He, I bring you a once-in-a-lifetime piece of good news." Wuxinming pretended to be mysterious, his expression excited.
Wen Jiu suspiciously asked, "Are you sure this is good news for me?"
As far as he knew, Wuxinming had been lending Spirit Stones to Golden Core cultivators during this time, from as few as a hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones to as many as three to five million.
This was only what had been revealed; nobody knew how many others were involved, or what this person’s intention was.
Whatever the intention, it seemed to be Demon Sect’s plan. Those Golden Core cultivators who borrowed Spirit Stones from him likely wouldn’t have a good ending.
Wuxinming nodded, "Indeed, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, and if you don’t have Spirit Stones, I can lend you some. But don’t rush to refuse, have you heard of the Tier Three Top-Grade Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill?"
"Never heard of it."
Wen Jiu shook his head.
Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills were precisely the Tier Three Top-Grade Yin Pill that Wuxinming and four others wanted to borrow Gongyang Fu to find Master Witch to refine.
Realm-Breaking Pill.
Wen Jiu did not understand why Wuxinming suddenly brought this up.
Wuxinming immediately explained the function of the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills briefly. "If you don’t believe it, you can inquire anywhere, or ask Gongyang Fu’s old housekeeper; he surely knows about the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills."
"Of course, I believe you, fellow cultivator, but why did you suddenly mention this?" Wen Jiu pursued.
Wuxinming did not immediately explain, instead shifting the topic, "Black Crow Zhenren Zhao Ya perished three days ago."
"Black Crow Zhenren died?"
Wen Jiu was taken aback.
Black Crow Zhenren Zhao Ya was quite prominent in Wen Jiu’s memory, mainly because, like Lin Yingyun Mountain, he was shrouded in decay. However, when Wen Jiu calculated with the Corpse Fate Technique, his lifespan still had two or three decades left.
How could he suddenly die?
Besides, if he’s dead, he’s dead.
What does it have to do with him?
