Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Gongyang Fu looked relieved.

Wen Jiu knew what Gongyang Fu wanted and raised his hand in a salute, "Fellow Daoist Gongyang, rest assured, wherever and whenever you need me in the future, I will spare no effort to help you cultivate living elixirs."

"Thank you, Master He."

Gongyang Fu smiled in return.

This was exactly what he wanted.

Wen Jiu also smiled with satisfaction.

Getting Nine Nether Qi for free.

Truly delightful!

After exchanging a few more polite words, Wen Jiu and Wuxinming returned together. Zhong Qi and his companion had transformed into departing trails of light after leaving the Pill Hall, ignoring Wuxinming and leaving with eyes full of killing intent towards Wen Jiu.

Wuxinming was unconcerned because he wished He Jiu would have more troubles, which would make it easier for He Jiu to become useful to him.

Now that the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills had been refined, it was time to go back and perform the technique.

Honestly, he was worried before that He Jiu’s Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills might be confiscated. If they were taken, the resulting karma during the casting would be much less, greatly reducing the gratitude He Jiu would owe in the future.

Unexpectedly, Gongyang Fu had stood up at the crucial moment to help He Jiu preserve the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills.

Moreover, he was even more pleasantly surprised to find that He Jiu was a person of Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique.

And had an unusual relationship with Gongyang Fu.

So his plan could be further advanced, aiding the Heart Demon Sect in establishing a deeply rooted and pervasive foundation within the Donghua Immortal City. Watching Wuxinming leave satisfied after the pleasantries, Wen Jiu also smiled knowingly.

Preparing to go home and wait for Wuxinming to come looking for him.

...

A few days passed after the alchemy with nothing happening, but Wen Jiu could feel the birth of karma.

It was evident that Wuxinming had performed his technique.

However, since the karma was just beginning to manifest and hadn’t intensified, Wuxinming hadn’t come looking for him.

"It seems that the caster does not know the exact situation until the karma fully amplifies."

Before Wuxinming arrived, Wen Jiu was not in a hurry and continued to freely collect Nine Nether Qi to cultivate his Corpse Nourishing living elixers, while also focusing on practicing the Corpse Fate Technique. After this incident, Wen Jiu began fervently practicing the Corpse Fate Technique.

The Three Thousand Blood Inks trained daily without pause. Despite no movement from Wuxinming, Zhong Qi and his companion reacted. The Zhong Qi couple left Donghua Immortal City immediately without lingering.

Just a few days after their departure, rumors of Mad Saber Zhenren’s suspected realm breakthrough spread through Donghua Immortal City.

But this information came to Wen Jiu from Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming had heard people discussing it when she was out buying food. Honestly, this was already a blatant clue, and Zhao Ming and her husband were definitely doing it intentionally.

Others might listen for amusement, perhaps merely curious about whether Mad Saber Zhenren could successfully break through.

But if he were to hear it, it would be completely different. Because the Zhong Qi couple had previously made no attempt to conceal their murderous intent. If he were really He Jiu, he would definitely seize this opportunity to attack, rather than waiting for Zhong Qi to break through.

Who would want to gain a dead enemy at the Middle Stage of Golden Core?

Especially since Zhong Qi had already reached the peak of the Early Stage of Golden Core, it was his time to break through, but it was not the case for He Jiu. So in Zhong Qi’s eyes, He Jiu would definitely not let him break through so easily, even knowing it’s an obvious plot, He Jiu could only choose to fall for it.

What a pity.

Zhong Qi thought well, but he miscalculated one thing.

He was not He Jiu.

Nor was he some fledgling who had just entered the Early Stage of Golden Core.

"Since that’s the case, let’s play along and take his Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills." Wen Jiu immediately commanded the East Spring Undying Bone to head to Donghua Immortal City. Since Zhong Qi dared to act knowing he was a Dual Cultivator of Body and Technique entering the Golden Core Realm, he clearly had backup plans, so Wen Jiu had no hesitation in deploying the East Spring Undying Bone.

At the same time, Wen Jiu also went to perform a little act by visiting Wuxinming’s residence, intentionally letting those secretly watching see him.

After leaving Wuxinming’s place, Wen Jiu then went to Gongyang Fu’s residence for a short while.

After visiting the two places, Wen Jiu finally left Donghua Immortal City, and he did so quietly, without even those secretly watching him noticing. This only made his actions more convincing, making Zhong Qi believe it even more.

As he predicted, within a few days someone came knocking; Zhao Ming, as usual, promptly went out to meet the visitor.

Afraid that the visitor might not be an ordinary person, delaying their matter.

The visitor disguised themselves as a loose cultivator looking for someone, and Zhao Ming foolishly revealed that he was not home. This was all anticipated by Wen Jiu; Zhao Ming was young and couldn’t keep secrets, so he might as well use her sincerity.

As for Zhao Ming’s sincerity, Wen Jiu did not plan to change it. With just a lifespan of ninety-five years, being a bit foolish is fine, especially with him protecting her.

Ninety-five years will pass in the blink of an eye; as long as the girl is happy, it doesn’t matter if after her Foundation Establishment she doesn’t want to cultivate further.

...

Meanwhile.

Within a Tier Three Spiritual Vein fifty thousand miles outside Donghua Immortal City, Zhong Qi sat cross-legged in the cave atop the peak, seemingly consolidating his cultivation and making final preparations for his realm breakthrough. Not long after, Li Zhi returned from outside, her face full of joy.

"Husband, that He Jiu indeed couldn’t hold back; he first went to see Wuxinming and then sought out Gongyang Fu. A few days ago, he suddenly left Donghua Immortal City. Initially, he hid it well, but unfortunately, he has a silly girl he brought from the Zhao Family, who revealed the truth with just a couple of questions," Li Zhi said with a smile.

Zhong Qi smiled with satisfaction, "How could he possibly hold back? If I break through, the He Family will gain another enemy at the Middle Stage of Golden Core. Whether for the He Family or for himself, he has to come to disrupt my breakthrough."
