Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Mutated Yin Insect

After fusing with the Yin Technique, the Law-Devouring Yin Insect began its frenzy, continuously consuming the Yin Technique, and quickly reproducing through it. Finally, it outputs the Yin Technique through reproduction, and a perfect cycle was thus born.

However, the Yin Technique regurgitated by the Law-Devouring Yin Insect is no longer the same as before. Wen Jiu’s Yin Technique, when released in the past, was sinister and evil, yet it was still a strand of magical power. But now, under the probe of his Divine Sense, the Yin Technique feels like a pool of writhing, sticky sludge from a swamp full of decaying corpses.

Just one glance sends shivers down one’s spine.

Careful probing with Divine Sense makes one’s skin crawl even more.

Because within the Yin Technique, countless Soul-Devouring Yin Insects are squirming and surging.

Even though Wen Jiu had practiced the Left-Handed Arts for so long, he still felt a bit uneasy at first glance of this scene.

Hence, Wen Jiu did not rush to absorb it into his body, but rather cast his gaze upon the annotation of the Law-Devouring Yin Insect on the daily settlement panel.

{Gu Insect: Mutated Law-Devouring Yin Insect (Tier One Lower (0/3000)) can invade the human body through air, quickly corroding its meridians and Dantian, ultimately transforming the corroded into mortals. However, once the Law-Devouring Yin Insect leaves the body, it can only survive for a quarter of an hour, and the stronger the invaded person’s strength, the greater the suppression of its magical power on the mutated Law-Devouring Yin Insect.}

Wen Jiu was not surprised by the Law-Devouring Yin Insect’s ability to upgrade, because this is another depraved aspect of the daily settlement panel.

If one does not have a plan for advancement, the panel would provide the simplest direction for improvement.

Take talisman drawing for example.

Even without guidance or a means of advancement, one can still rely on grinding experience to achieve improvement.

In other words, he doesn’t need to practice any Gu Raising Technique, yet he can cultivate the Law-Devouring Yin Insect to a Tier One Middle, even Tier One Superior, and possibly grind it to a Tier Two existence through experience.

Tier Two.

That’s an existence of the Foundation Establishment Level.

Concealing his thoughts, Wen Jiu’s gaze once again fell on the settlement panel.

Indeed, the thing that surprised Wen Jiu the most was that the mutated Law-Devouring Yin Insect could spread through the air.

Despite the fact that the Law-Devouring Yin Insect dies a quarter of an hour after leaving the body, it’s still terrifying, as all cultivators require breathing.

Even if he relies on Concealing Breath to resist it, as long as there’s a wound on his body, the Law-Devouring Yin Insect will still invade.

Truly unavoidable.

And the most depraved aspect is not limited to this, but during a clash between two armies, if Wen Jiu’s Dantian has enough Yin Technique, he could directly scatter it over the opponent’s army, causing devastating damage.

Though in the Cultivation Realm, the downfall of small fry does not determine the ultimate victory of a battle, it still tips the scales. For a sect, this can already serve as one of its trump cards.

If this spreads to the Valley of the Dead, he is bound to receive secret and focused nurturing from Deadman Peak, without even needing an assessment.

However, once it truly spreads, he will also attract the attention of opposing forces, who would choose to destroy him when they fail to obtain him.

”This mutated Law-Devouring Yin Insect is a double-edged sword; if used well, it can become a major trump card for me in the future, but if used poorly, it may invite disaster... Fortunately, besides Brother Liu, no one knows I possess the Law-Devouring Yin Insect. As long as I use it wisely in the future, I can completely blame it on the Gu Daoist.”

With these words, Wen Jiu secretly made a resolution.

Absolutely not to use recklessly until a critical moment.

The next moment.

Wen Jiu absorbed all the Law-Devouring Yin Insects within the Black Corpse into his body, feeling them continuously fusing with the Yin Technique within his body under the control of his Divine Sense, then coursing through his meridians.

To be honest.

Thinking of countless Gu insects residing in his body in the future, Wen Jiu felt an indescribable and inexplicable sensation.

Just the fact that he was raising Gu with his own body made him more wicked than ninety-nine percent of Heterodox Cultivators and Evil Cultivators.

An hour later.

The Yin Technique and Law-Devouring Yin Insects within Wen Jiu’s body completely fused, to his surprise, the amount of Yin Technique in his Dantian doubled as a result. The breakthrough from Qi Cultivation Second Layer to Qi Cultivation Third Layer didn’t offer such an improvement.

If he were to advance to Qi Cultivation Third Layer at this moment, the total amount of Yin Technique in his Dantian would surpass all Qi Cultivation Third Layer cultivators.

Even comparable to Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

However, Wen Jiu did not choose to make the breakthrough now; he needed to wait for an opportunity.

That opportunity should be fast approaching.

...

Early that day.

Wen Jiu prepared for the final sprint, raising five Yin Souls at Qi Cultivation Second Layer to help the Black Corpse reach the Three Evil Corpses realm.

Once the Black Corpse transforms into Three Evil Corpses and awakens the Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques, he would have some confidence on Feixian Peak.

Gong Chi wouldn’t be insignificant either.

But before he could finish, Gong Chi already summoned him over.

Clearly.

Gong Chi had lost his patience.

However, Gong Chi didn’t direct him to the Night Patrol Department Main Hall, but to Liu Xiao’s recovery place.

When Wen Jiu arrived, Gong Chi inquired about Liu Xiao’s injury and took out a bottle of Tier One Middle Grade Blood Generating Pill, which aids in the complete recovery of internal injuries. Although unable to regrow a severed arm, it minimizes the impact of such an injury on future life.

In addition, he was arranging for Liu Xiao’s future affairs; even if Liu Xiao became mortal, he could still manage a part of Feixian Peak’s business, and his children could directly become Apprentice Disciples of Feixian Peak.

The biggest surprise for Wen Jiu was that his sister Wen Ya was also present; after Gong Chi learned of Wen Ya’s identity, he began to inquire about her well-being, even discussing promoting her to disciple.

However, to Wen Jiu, all this felt more like a threat from Gong Chi rather than goodwill.

Because if he didn’t agree today, this goodwill may turn into murderous intent.

Wen Jiu steadied his mind and walked in slowly, greeting each one, ”Elder Gong, Steward Liu, sister.”

Elder Gong nodded and then asked, ”So, have you considered becoming this old man’s disciple?”

This statement.

Liu Xiao’s expression froze, despite initially feeling deeply grateful towards Elder Gong.

Though Wen Ya did not know what had happened, she understood from Liu Xiao’s expression and her face changed accordingly.

Wen Jiu immediately bowed, ”Master!”

He knew that Elder Gong’s seemingly kind inquiry was not a genuine question.

It was an ultimatum.

The goal was to accept discipleship.

Given that Elder Gong desired it, then so be it.

Moreover, as a Heterodox Cultivator, wouldn’t it be reasonable for him to go back on his word later?

”Good!”

Elder Gong smiled satisfactorily.

But at that moment, the smile seemed to chill everyone in the room.

...

After Elder Gong left.

Liu Xiao didn’t say much.

A moment later, he anxiously asked, ”Why did things turn out like this, why did Elder Gong suddenly want to take you as a disciple?”

If it were in the past.

This would be a tremendous opportunity.

But now, with the assessment imminent, Wen Jiu was certain to head to the main peak for cultivation.

Being taken as a disciple now meant blocking Wen Jiu’s path to the main peak.

Wen Jiu responded with a smile, ”It’s alright, Brother Liu, in reality, a Heterodox Cultivator like me going to the main peak might not be welcomed. It’s better to follow Elder Gong in cultivation... being nurtured by an elder might be better than heading to the main peak.”

”This...”

Liu Xiao was momentarily lost for words.

Unsure whether Wen Jiu’s smile and words were genuine or not.

But at the same moment, on Feixian Peak overlooking Wen Jiu, Gong Chi stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

This boy, after all, knows his place.

He knows his worth.

If Wen Jiu had not agreed today, or wielded a knife behind his back, he would have had to strike ruthlessly.

Such a Heterodox talent must not be sent to the main peak, for the main peak is not without old masters who appreciate Left-Handed Arts.
