Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 116: Chapter 84: Become an Inspector First, Then Join the Spirit Suppression Department

However, Wen Jiu didn’t think much about it.

Because he couldn’t.

Even if his master noticed the realm of the Three Evil Corpses, he could explain, or even attribute everything to the Corpse Remains Death Land. After all, as a Corpse Nurturer, he had an inherent advantage in such a desperate land.

But if he hesitated, it might arouse Ye Chen’s suspicion.

”Master, please take a look.”

Wen Jiu took out the Corpse Nurturing Coffin, opened it, and let the Three Evil Corpses walk out on their own, although he hoped it wouldn’t be noticed.

It’s not that he’s afraid of explaining.

Or afraid of anything else.

But if even the master couldn’t see through it, then surely there wouldn’t be many at Deadman Peak who could see through the Three Evil Corpses.

This would undoubtedly be a great thing.

At this moment, Ye Chen was staring at the Three Evil Corpses, silent, then stood with his hands behind, circling them, occasionally clicking his tongue and sometimes reaching out to touch the corpses.

Yet Ye Chen’s expression didn’t change, clearly indicating he hadn’t seen through the true realm of the Three Evil Corpses.

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling quite pleased.

And he became even more interested in the origins of the Three Evil Corpse Nurturing Technique.

”Master, haven’t I raised these Three Evil Corpses wrong?” Wen Jiu asked tentatively.

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, ”No. Among the walking corpses I have seen, your Three Evil Corpses could rank in the top three.”

Top three?

Are there Corpse Nourishing Techniques stronger than the Three Evil Corpses?

Ye Chen seemed to see Wen Jiu’s curiosity and explained, ”Their Corpse Nourishing Techniques aren’t as brilliant as your Three Evil Corpse Technique, but they have long nurtured corpses with cultivator’s blood and energy, sometimes for decades, so naturally, their walking corpses surpass your three-month-raised Three Evil Corpses.”

”I see.” Wen Jiu nodded.

Ye Chen continued, ”Put them away... you have raised the Three Evil Corpses to this point in just three months, and you understand how to hide and be humble. Just based on these two points, your future height will surely be higher than theirs.”

”Thank you, Master, for the praise.”

Wen Jiu responded with a smile and put away the Three Evil Corpses.

But as he inadvertently glanced at his senior brother Li Mu next to him, he noticed a hint of envy in Li Mu’s eyes.

Hmm?

What’s going on with brother?

No time to think deeply, Ye Chen asked, ”I heard you also accepted the Spirit Suppression Peak Elder Xiang Wenlong’s Identity Token voluntarily?”

Wen Jiu nodded and expressed his thoughts, ”Master, I am confident that if I could find another supreme desperate land to raise the corpses, the progress of the Three Evil Corpses would surely be stronger than in the Corpse Remains Death Land!”

”Normally, you aren’t necessarily bound to stay in the Inspection Hall by becoming my disciple.” Ye Chen shifted his tone, ”But you did receive benefits from the Inspection Hall. If you don’t stay, you’ll invite gossip behind your back.”

”Disciple doesn’t want those benefits from the Inspection Hall.” Wen Jiu spoke decisively; be it a Tier One Middle Grade Array or any future possible gains, they’re trivial compared to his future cultivation.

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, ”You’re quite decisive, willing to forsake everything for the Spirit Suppression Department.”

Wen Jiu remained silent.

Thus further demonstrating his stance.

Simultaneously, he awaited Master Ye Chen’s attitude.

After a few breaths of silence, Ye Chen sighed, ”Fine, if you want to go to the Spirit Suppression Department, you can go, but you must also enter the Inspection Hall.”

”Master, can I really do both?” Wen Jiu was a bit surprised.

Ye Chen nodded, his words calm yet filled with authority, ”If I say you can, then you can.”

Wen Jiu was delighted.

A backer like this is truly the best, worthy of his previous performance in front of everyone at the Black Spirit Tower.

”Master, what position should we assign to the junior brother?” Li Mu interjected, his eyes still full of envy towards Wen Jiu.

Because for the first time in years, he understood what favoritism and high praise from the master meant.

Turns out the master wasn’t too indifferent.

But he wasn’t yet excellent enough!

Ye Chen blurted out three words, ”Inspector.”

”Yes!”

Li Mu intended to say more.

But upon considering his master’s attitude toward the junior brother, he held his tongue.

Though there hadn’t been an Inspector of Qi Cultivation Third Layer at the Inspection Hall before, it didn’t mean there won’t be from tomorrow onwards.

Wen Jiu inquired, ”Senior brother, what is an Inspector?”

Li Mu explained, ”Currently, our Inspection Hall has thirty Inspectors. Feng Xuan is one of them, and their task is to monitor all side peaks for the Main Peak, and at critical times, they can command anyone from the side peaks, even the Side Peak Masters! In other words, you are an eye and a sword suspended over all side peaks at Deadman Peak.”

”Master, I feel my cultivation is shallow, and I am unworthy of such a position!” Wen Jiu quickly refused.

Goodness.

The power of the Inspector is indeed significant.

But Wen Jiu knew the greater the power, the more affairs to deal with.

He just wanted to quietly raise corpses and cultivate at the Main Peak.

Now with the Yin Sha Blood Curse Body, Yin Spirit Technique, Hidden God Technique, and Yin Five Elements Ghost Skill, Golden Cloud Valley Worm Cultivation Secret Technique—all these things await his cultivation. He had no interest in running around like Feng Xuan.

”This is a position many connive and strive for, yet you want to directly refuse.” Ye Chen gazed annoyedly at Wen Jiu, but inwardly his appreciation for Wen Jiu grew further.

Understanding how to hide and not coveting power—a single aspect made him stronger than ninety-nine percent of cultivators at Deadman Peak.

But just as Wen Jiu wanted to find more excuses to decline, Ye Chen sternly declared, ”Then you don’t need to go to the Spirit Suppression Department.”

Wen Jiu was taken aback.

And quickly changed his stance.

”Master, I think the position of Inspector suits me perfectly, and I am willing to squeeze out time to contribute to the Inspection Hall and Deadman Peak amidst my busy cultivation!”
