Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Corpse Nurturing Coffin Completed

Soon.

After careful consideration, Lu Shi set a date—seven days later, significantly shorter than Wen Jiu’s expected time.

According to what Wen Jiu knew, crafting a Tier One Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact typically takes at least half a month.

Moreover, the Corpse Nurturing Coffin is not crafted through normal means; the furnace requires Yin Fire instead of regular Yang Fire, among various other details, so crafting time could easily exceed a month.

But now it only requires seven days.

This was undoubtedly great news for Wen Jiu.

Because it meant the progress of cultivating the Three Evil Corpses could be expedited.

”Fortunately, I met Brother Mu on this trip,” Wen Jiu couldn’t help but secretly feel grateful.

If it weren’t for Brother Mu’s favor, requesting an ordinary middle-grade refiner from their sect to craft the Corpse Nurturing Coffin would’ve taken an unknown amount of time.

After confirming some details, Wen Jiu left two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones and departed from the Artifact Refining Tower.

Favors are favors.

Although Lu Shi didn’t mention a processing fee, he couldn’t avoid giving it.

Being part of a sect requires the necessary etiquette in place, aiming for groundwork for the next meeting.

After all, even if he did make it to the main peak, it didn’t mean they’d never meet again, and given Lu Shi’s skills, he’d sooner or later become a Tier One High-Grade Refiner. Leaving Spirit Stones today makes it easier to broach requests next time.

No matter what, having the chance to gain his help in refining is far better than those sect mates he’d never met.

After leaving the Artifact Refining Tower, Wen Jiu quickly visited the Trading Market, spending two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones to buy two Tier One Demon corpses, and then purchased some Talisman Paper and Demon Blood Ink before heading home.

As evening fell.

Wang Nian returned.

Wen Jiu immediately went to visit, intending to repay part of the fifty Spirit Stones he had borrowed before.

However, it wasn’t the full amount.

”Brother Wang, here are the Spirit Stones I borrowed before, totaling forty-nine. I still owe one, but I promise to repay it when I have more once my finances improve,” said Wen Jiu, also taking out three bottles of Elixir Pills from his storage bag.

The reason for not repaying it entirely was intentional on Wen Jiu’s part.

Cultivation emphasizes cause and effect.

Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, unavoidable.

Owing one Spirit Stone means his Dao Heart will never be complete, possibly becoming an obstacle in advancing in the future.

This was also a way for Wen Jiu to remind himself that what he owes Wang Nian is not just Spirit Stones.

Offering help in times of dire need.

The gratitude for being recognized, among other things.

These can’t be measured by Spirit Stones, because many never meet a benefactor when they’re at rock bottom.

”This one stone...”

Wang Nian’s words dropped off.

He initially wanted to say there’s no need to repay one Spirit Stone between them, but seeing the three bottles of Elixir Pills that Wen Jiu offered, he understood Wen Jiu’s intention and felt he hadn’t befriended a brother for nothing.

There are too many betrayals and selfish acts in the Cultivation Realm, and he had witnessed quite a few over the years.

There are too few who repay kindness.

He initially bet on his hunch, and it turned out he was right.

”Younger Brother Wen, no need for such formalities, coming over is enough, no need for gifts,” Wang Nian said with a smile as he accepted.

He was genuinely happy.

But what made him happy wasn’t Wen Jiu’s gift, but having a brother like Wen Jiu.

After exchanging a few more words, Wen Jiu prepared to bid farewell.

But just as Wen Jiu was about to leave, Wang Nian mysteriously handed over two Talismans. Judging by the magical power fluctuations on them, they were clearly non-tiered Talismans. Yet, knowing Wang Nian’s personality, he surely wouldn’t give something so cheap.

Wen Jiu initially didn’t mind, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was a Talisman he’d never seen before.

Wang Nian smiled mysteriously and whispered, ”This Talisman is called the Golden Spear Talisman, a creation of your brother over the past two years. Though it is not tiered, it can grant you the strength of a golden spear, sustaining your will for at least half an hour!”

”Brother Wang, you...”

Wen Jiu felt helpless.

After glancing sharply, indeed, he hadn’t seen this Talisman before nor heard any Elder Cultivator mention it in the Trading Market.

If there were such a Talisman, surely those old cultivators would discuss it.

So it must undoubtedly be Wang Nian’s creation.

To this,

Wen Jiu had nothing to say.

You might say Wang Nian lacks talent in creating Talismans.

Yet he could create this Golden Spear Talisman.

But if you say he has talent,

He took this long just to get started on the Talisman Dao.

”Brother Wang, maybe you should keep it for having kids,” Wen Jiu didn’t take it. Though he practiced unorthodox paths, he wasn’t keen on dual cultivation.

Having stated that.

Wen Jiu was ready to leave.

Wang Nian hurriedly placed them back in his storage bag, fearing his wife would find out, and whispered, ”You youngster don’t recognize treasures.”

Do you know,

If this Talisman circulates, how popular will it be?

How many Elder Cultivators would line up at the door overnight to buy it?

...

Upon returning home.

Wen Jiu began to activate the Corpse Eye to nourish the blood.

After exhausting the Yin Techniques in his Dantian, Wen Jiu began to carefully review the method the Scar-faced Cultivator used to prepare the Celestial Killing Water.

Strictly speaking, preparing Celestial Killing Water wasn’t difficult, and the required magical materials weren’t expensive or rare. The perfect ratios and quantities were already written in the Scar-faced Elder Cultivator’s notes.

A heart of a three-year yin raven, ten-year corpse fungi, alongside Celestial Yin Water, and other Yin-attribute natural materials, none were rare, and Wen Jiu had seen many in the Trading Market of Feixian Peak.

The only difficulty in preparing Celestial Killing Water lies in the fusion, which has extremely stringent environmental requirements. First, it must be in an Extremely Yin Land, where Yin and Death Qi are very dense.

This point fits the Corpse Remains Death Land very well.

Secondly, when fusing in the Extremely Yin Land, it requires the continuous addition of Yin Soul Crystals, needing quite a few Yin Souls. The Scar-faced Elder Cultivator included a method to cultivate Yin Souls, and just a glance left Wen Jiu stunned.

That method was killing people.

Brutally killing individuals, preferably killing their loved ones in front of them, then using the Soul Nourishing Spell to easily cultivate Yin Souls and Fierce Ghosts. If a Fierce Ghost is cultivated, a single one can condense quite a few Yin Soul Crystals.

”This bastard!”

Wen Jiu was filled with anger.

This thick notebook, how many mortals must this old thing have brutally killed?

Is there no one to control this?

Do they let mortals be killed by these Heterodox Demons unchecked?

And those one hundred thousand killed by the Blood Robe Tower, although certainly not killed in a day, with so many mortals dead, is there no one to stop it?

He couldn’t comprehend it.

Wen Jiu couldn’t understand.

But even if he couldn’t comprehend, Wen Jiu was powerless.

He had no way to control such matters.

With a trace of anger, Wen Jiu went to the Trading Market to gather materials for Celestial Killing Water. After some effort, he gathered everything he needed for just thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones, although it was enough for ten bottles of Celestial Killing Water.

After nightfall, Wen Jiu began preparing the Celestial Killing Water in the Corpse Remains Death Land during his night patrol.

The Black Corpse assisted him in searching for Yin Souls.

To prevent the Black Corpse from directly consuming the Yin Souls, Wen Jiu had to constantly supervise it.

Previously, due to a moment of inattention, the Black Corpse consumed one Yin Soul equivalent to the Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

But now, the experience gained from consuming such Yin Souls was no longer significant for the Black Corpse.

After a few days, and with the Black Corpse capturing five or six Yin Souls, Wen Jiu finally prepared five bottles of unrefined Celestial Killing Water, which then needed to have Yin Techniques refine Yin Souls into Yin Soul Crystals nightly at midnight.

After seven days, Celestial Killing Water could be formed.

However, before the Celestial Killing Water was fully formed, Wen Jiu received news brought by Lu Shi’s disciples early one morning.

The Corpse Nurturing Coffin was completed.

Moreover, judging by the expression of anticipation on Lu Shi’s disciple, it seemed to be more than just an ordinary Tier One Middle-grade.
