Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Actually, he had wanted to say earlier that those who cultivate immortality shouldn’t just bury their heads in practicing cultivation techniques; mastering a bit of the hundred arts of immortality is always beneficial.

The hundred arts of immortality are known as protective Dao body techniques, mastering some is always good, as they can play a role in future cultivation. For example, when it comes to alchemy, if you don’t know how, you’ll have to rely on purchasing elixir pills.

But what if the elixir pills sold by others are poisonous?

”Big Brother.”

As Li Mu walked towards the spirit field, Chen Daoqing hurriedly spoke.

Wen Jiu asked, ”Are you leaving?”

”Yes, yes, I came specifically to bid farewell to Big Brother and also bring something.” Chen Daoqing hurriedly took out an item from his storage ring; it looked like a clay urn, with a top-tier Tier One Middle Grade Evil Suppression Talisman stuck on it. Despite that, there was a strong flow of yin evil qi around the urn.

As a heterodox cultivator, Wen Jiu instantly felt what was inside the urn—the fierce ghost.

Chen Daoqing quickly explained, ”This is something my grandfather obtained during a previous battle. It is a treasure of a Ghost Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer. My grandfather said it should be useful to Big Brother, so he specifically sent me to deliver it.”

”It is indeed useful.”

Just a rough sense and Wen Jiu could feel the Yin Soul aura comparable to cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer.

But the urn is suppressed by a top-tier Tier One Middle Grade Evil Suppression Talisman; clearly, the fierce ghost inside is no ordinary entity.

Wen Jiu did not stand ceremony since the fierce ghost is quite useful to him, and its function equivalent to cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Layer is even more significant.

It wouldn’t be easy to guide it with the Ghost-faced Butcher Guide.

Besides, one definitely couldn’t guide it within the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

What kind of ghost is so bold to dare come to Deadman Peak’s main peak?

Probably a Tier Two Yin Soul would have such audacity.

”Also, there’s another thing to thank Big Brother for, about the matter at the apprenticeship banquet two days ago.” Chen Daoqing spoke again.

His face was full of a peach blossom smile.

Clearly.

Because he gained an unexpected benefit thanks to Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu asked with a smile, ”Did your master betroth his daughter to you?”

”Big Brother, how did you know?”

Chen Daoqing was stunned.

”You’re just about to write ’entangled in romantic affairs’ on your face.” Wen Jiu laughed.

Chen Daoqing quickly touched his face and then said, ”Master also said that once I return to become a Demon Slayer, I can marry her. As long as I become part of the family, Master can recommend me as a candidate for Guardian Envoy to the Elder Residence.”

Once you become a candidate for Guardian Envoy, your status is elevated, and you can obtain more cultivation resources.

The future holds promise.

”This is your luck, no need to thank me.” Wen Jiu replied.

Chen Daoqing’s smile froze, and he said seriously, ”Big Brother, if it weren’t for you, would my master betroth his beloved daughter to me? I’m not someone who forgets kindness and remains ungrateful!”

”Understood.”

Wen Jiu just smiled.

Unexpected.

He never thought he would one day indirectly help someone.

Wen Jiu didn’t mind this.

Because he remembers the kindness Wang Nian and Mu Canglong showed him.

So in regards to Chen Daoqing, Wen Jiu was still willing to offer a helping hand in crucial moments, just like at the Black Spirit Tower.

After continuing to ask a few more questions about the situation of monsters and demons wreaking havoc around the sub peaks, Wen Jiu sent Chen Daoqing off. Before leaving, Chen Daoqing’s ambitious appearance was unforgettable.

However, cultivation is not work.

Unexpected events can happen at any time.

”Wish you safety.”

Wen Jiu murmured softly and turned back into the house.

...

Back in the house, Wen Jiu continued chatting with Li Mu for a while.

But he did not mention the situation with the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Even without Wen Jiu mentioning, Li Mu had sensed the anomaly in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss; the purpose of this trip was to inquire about it.

But after some hesitation, Wen Jiu chose not to elaborate because even the Spirit Suppression Department’s Spirit Suppressing Envoy knew nothing. He didn’t mention anything about what the Yin Soul saw inside the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, only mentioned the sudden appearance of a Blood Shield within.

”It seems that something must have happened; otherwise, it wouldn’t summon all the elders into the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss... Usually, only a few elders can enter the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.” Li Mu looked solemn.

After a few more inquiries, Li Mu felt there was no further reason to stay and quickly left Wen Jiu’s residence.

On the other side.

As soon as Li Mu left, the Blood Shield shattered completely under the Thousand Kill Array’s attack, and everything at the top of the True Spirit Divine Tree finally revealed itself to everyone, while the terrifying presence of the True Spirit Divine Tree swept across the entire Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Following closely was a chilling and angry roar that sent shivers down everyone’s spine, enveloping them with True Spirit Blood Qi.

Initially, the elders, who were smiling up at the Blood Shield, had their expressions freeze again, involuntarily stepping back a few steps.

”Do not panic.”

”I will go and summon the Fire Spirit Beast.”

With that said.

Oriental Celestial City immediately set off towards the main peak summit.

The rest remained at the abyss entrance, watching Elder Wu Xiu, who monitored the depths of the abyss with the Yin Spirit, with vigilance.

Seeing that it took no action, everyone finally relaxed.

Very quickly.

The Fire Spirit Beast rose from the peak on clouds.

Where it passed, flames blossomed like lotus flowers.

Many sect disciples watched in amazement because most sect disciples had never seen the Fire Spirit Beast.

As for those like Li Mu in the higher ranks of the sect, upon seeing the Fire Spirit Beast, any expressions they had disappeared, and they quickly headed towards the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Similarly.

Wen Jiu did the same.

Finding a secluded spot, he prepared to use the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss at any moment.

A hundred breaths later, the Fire Spirit Beast entered the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, took a glance downward, then immediately dove down. The people from Eastern Celestial City quickly followed, and the Tier Two True Spirit Demon, sensing the Fire Spirit Beast, became completely enraged.

Alongside that, the True Spirit Divine Tree constantly released dense dark red blood threads in anger, attacking everyone.

But the Fire Spirit Beast paved the way with grandeur, and wherever it passed, all attacks dissolved in the flames.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu immediately deployed the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, and upon reaching the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, he swiftly scattered the Law-Devouring Yin Insect onto the True Spirit Divine Tree.

Every bit counts.

Opportunities lost won’t come again.

Then Wen Jiu quickly descended, finding a place to hide at the abyss entrance, ready to use the Blood Corpse Escape anytime.

A hundred breaths later.

Roars and cacophony surged to the entrance of the abyss.

Clearly.

The battle had begun.

Wen Jiu promptly used Blood Corpse Escape to reach the bottom of the abyss and simultaneously employed the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment again.

However, because he hadn’t pre-marked with a Corpse Qi Mark, Wen Jiu’s landing did not reach the edge of the True Spirit Blood Pool but instead landed in a cavern at the bottom of the abyss. But Wen Jiu could distinctly sense the location of the True Spirit Essence Blood Pool.

No choice.

The True Spirit Essence Blood was way too dense.

Impossible not to smell it.

He traversed through various tunnels, discovering as he passed that the tunnels were filled with black secret texts.

It resembled those on the True Spirit Blood Tree, rendering every spot in the tunnels an eerie sensation.

This made Wen Jiu hasten his steps, reaching the True Spirit Essence Blood Pool within thirty breaths.

Thousands of True Spirit Demons still knelt within, looking up at the abyss while angrily emitting waves of demonic sound, making Wen Jiu’s head ache. Fortunately, it was within his endurance range.

When Wen Jiu attempted to approach, all the True Spirit Demons suddenly turned towards Wen Jiu’s location.

No.

Accurately speaking, they weren’t looking.

But searching.

Because they had no eyes.

Yet they sensed someone approaching.

Wen Jiu’s heart tightened, daring not to move, but soon realized all the True Spirit Demons seemed embedded in the blood pool, unable to even stand.

For caution’s sake, Wen Jiu threw a Tier One Middle Grade Attack Talisman at one True Spirit Demon.

Bang—

The talisman exploded.

Even as a True Spirit Demon at the blast’s core became torn and ragged, issuing angry roars, it still did not rise.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu boldly took out the Corpse Eye and started frantically absorbing the True Spirit Essence Blood while releasing the Three Evil Corpses to absorb together.

Upon detecting Wen Jiu’s actions, the True Spirit Demons roared constantly, no longer chanting the prior demonic sound.

However.

Ultimately it was impotent fury.

”Really thrilling.”

Looking at thousands of True Spirit Demons comparable to the late-stage of Qi Cultivation, Wen Jiu felt quite apprehensive.

Thankfully, they were all bound by the Sacrificial Technique.

Otherwise, the Three Evil Corpses would be instantly torn apart.

”Is this considered pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth?”

Wen Jiu nervously chuckled.

He immediately increased the blood absorption rate.

[Uh.

Alright.

I was wrong.

No time to write ten thousand words on New Year’s Eve.

Still, wishing all godfathers a Happy New Year’s Eve!

And an early Happy New Year!]
