Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 113: Chapter 83: Becoming Ye Chen’s Direct Disciple and the Benefits Received

At this moment.

He inwardly added another influential figure to his mental list of thighs to cling to.

However, as Wen Jiu was bowing to the Elder and preparing to leave, he noticed the gaze of an Elder. This Elder was sitting beside Xun Jiangxing, and his eyes were unmistakably full of dislike for him.

Wen Jiu paid no attention to this.

Dislike, if they dislike.

He’s not a courtesan; does everyone need to like him?

A moment later, Li Mu escorted Wen Jiu to the outside of the light curtain. When Li Mu appeared before the disciples and the Side Peak Elders, everyone’s eyes were fixed on them, as they understood what it meant for an Elder’s direct disciple to personally send someone off.

This person.

Had become a disciple of Elder Ye Chen.

Elder Ye Chen, one of the four giants of the Main Peak!

At this moment, everyone cast envious glances at Wen Jiu. Among them, Feng Xuan’s gaze was the most astonished. As someone from the Inspection Hall, he was well aware of how picky Elder Ye Chen was when it came to accepting direct disciples.

Whether it’s Ji Qiubai or Li Mu, they were all outstanding figures of the young generation. Although they hadn’t challenged the Black Spirit Tower before, they still overshadowed ninety percent of their peers, leaving them in awe. Since Ji Qiubai, Elder Ye Chen hadn’t even glanced at a top-grade single-attribute Spirit Root, which showed just how high Elder Ye Chen’s threshold was.

For Wen Jiu, a Corpse Nurturer with an inferior Spirit Root, to catch Elder Ye Chen’s Dharma Eye and truly become a direct disciple.

It made Feng Xuan look at Wen Jiu with new eyes.

Even a fool would understand that Wen Jiu must have hidden many things from them, only showing them in the Black Spirit Tower.

”Junior Brother, you go back first. I still have a task here; I’ll come to find you in the evening.” Li Mu said, glancing at Feng Xuan. Feng Xuan immediately stepped forward to salute, standing respectfully in front of Li Mu.

Because Li Mu was not only Elder Ye Chen’s direct disciple but also one of the ten Vice Hall Masters of the Inspection Hall.

It is worth mentioning that nine of the ten Vice Hall Masters were at the Peak of Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, but Li Mu was not.

Yet, Li Mu’s strength could rival the other nine!

”Li Hall.”

Feng Xuan respectfully saluted.

Li Mu spoke with a deep voice again, ”I’ll leave the person to you first. Take him to look around the cultivation land at the waist of the Main Peak, try to get a residence as high as possible, where the Spiritual Qi is the densest. Don’t consider any area less than eight days.”

”Yes!”

Feng Xuan nodded.

What does eight days mean?

In that region, one day of cultivation is equivalent to eight days of cultivation at the mountain foot, a privilege that an ordinary Elder’s direct disciple would never have.

An ordinary Elder’s direct disciple can only reside in the middle section of the Hundred Feet Mountain Waist, where the density of Spiritual Qi at most equals four or five days. Yet, this is an unreachable place for Twelve Departments disciples or ordinary Main Peak disciples.

Like the upper area of eight days Li Mu chose for Wen Jiu, ordinary Main Peak disciples at the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation don’t even have the qualification to enter.

Such is the same for the Side Peak Master.

Feng Xuan couldn’t help but feel secretly amazed, wondering just what kind of strength and aptitude Wen Jiu displayed in the Black Spirit Tower.

...

Soon.

Li Mu left.

Wen Jiu stood in full view and boarded a Tier One Top Grade Flying Ship, which was not the same one as when he came.

At this moment.

The vast majority of disciples gazed at the Flying Ship, looking at Wen Jiu, then turned to look at the ordinary Flying Ships behind them, feeling infinite emotions welling up in their hearts.

In their dreams, they longed to reach this step, yet the Black Spirit Tower trial had ended, which meant it was forever impossible now.

Chen Daoqing was also standing in the crowd, with mixed emotions in his heart, but more so were joy and excitement.

However, he did not brazenly wave or shout, only gazed fervently at Wen Jiu on the Flying Ship’s deck.

He knew, even if Wen Jiu acknowledged him as a brother, he still needed to grasp the sense of distance in their interaction.

Wen Jiu could publicly declare their relationship, but he could not.

Borrowing the tiger’s might would only bring others’ disdain.

If Wen Jiu didn’t do it, then he certainly couldn’t do it either.

...

Soon.

Wen Jiu was sent back to Deadman Peak.

The other disciples were taken back in batches.

Those who passed the sixth layer were all selected by the Twelve Departments; in the days to come, they would become Twelve Department disciples.

Those who didn’t pass the sixth layer could only become ordinary disciples.

Thus, the status of former fellow disciples was completely different from that day on. Similarly, their future cultivation levels will likely widen the gap more and more.

Wen Jiu saw this, remaining calm at heart, as he had long known that the benefit of being in a sect was that if you performed well enough, you could receive many things for free, but if you performed poorly, you could only become a cornerstone of the lower levels.

This cornerstone might be for a lifetime.

The only comfort was that being a Main Peak disciple, compared to being on the Side Peak before, surely allowed one to go further.

Upon reaching Deadman Peak, the Flying Ship did not land at the base of the mountain but flew straight towards the mountain waist, disappearing into a Concealing Array, stopping at a place completely different from the Flying Ship landing area at the base of the mountain.

The Flying Ships stopping at the mountain waist area were mostly Tier One Top Grade Magical Artifact Flying Ships, extremely valuable.

This showed that their owners were extraordinary.

After leaving the Flying Ship, the people they encountered were all Main Peak disciples wearing Twelve Departments’ attire.

Not a single ordinary disciple among them.

After asking Feng Xuan, it turned out that even ordinary disciples who had reached the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation were not allowed to set foot in the mountain waist area of Deadman Peak. The mountain waist area was the exclusive domain of the Twelve Departments and Elder’s direct disciples.

”Follow me.”

”The place for your future cultivation is not here, but even higher. That region, even for Elder’s direct disciples, is not a guaranteed place to live. Because that is the area closest to the Spirit Vein Center.”

Feng Xuan said.

Feeling once again emotional inside.

The former Side Peak disciple of Feixian Peak now stood on equal footing with him in status, if not above.
