Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 199: Chapter 117: The Appearance of Yin Yang Dust, Yinzhou Heterodox Record Minor Achievement

Edge of the Cultivation Realm at Cloud Mist Peak.

Liu Qianling fled here in a daze, panic-stricken. Only when he was certain that no one was pursuing did he breathe a sigh of relief.

”Luckily, I have the habit of accumulating means to preserve my life, otherwise I’d have died at the hands of that Corpse Nurturer today.” Liu Qianling fiercely slammed his head, causing a sharp pain due to a soul and three spirits.

Really want to tear open my brain and smash a couple of times!

Just then, a black-robed figure suddenly emerged from the woods behind him, without a sound from his steps and a face hidden under the robe, but upon seeing him, Liu Qianling’s face lit up with joy.

”Fellow cultivator!”

Liu Qianling hurriedly stepped forward.

But the black-robed cultivator immobilized him with two fingers pointing at his forehead, the Yin Technique quickly circulated from his brow and surged into his brain, ”For the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of a dignified Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator to be captured by a soul and three spirits so easily, such a soul capturing technique is unheard of among Qi Refining Cultivators. You managed to escape, guess your fate is not to perish!”

”Fellow cultivator, you possess the Ghost Spirit Pill, such a treasure pill. Do you have any soul-rejuvenating elixirs?” Liu Qianling quickly inquired.

For an incomplete soul,

Foundation Establishment cannot be achieved!

A year later, the Celestial Extinction Ruins open, he wishes to seek a Foundation Establishment opportunity within, but soul nourishment is not the work of a day or two. Without top-grade Yin Pill, he would certainly miss this chance at the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

He does not want to wait for the next time.

Nor can he afford to wait.

The black-robed cultivator chuckled twice and said, ”There is, naturally. A Tier One Top-Grade Yin Luo Pill can mend the soul’s remnants, a year is enough to restore a soul and three spirits, but I’m afraid the fellow cultivator might not be willing to pay the price.”

”Please say it, fellow cultivator!”

”Swallow the Yin Luo, the flesh will melt away. Once consumed, you’ll be reduced to a Yin Soul Ghost. Easy it is for a man to turn into a ghost, but reversing a ghost to a human by finding a Ghost-faced Butcher is harder than ascending the heavens... Moreover, a ghost is inherently restrained by soul capturing techniques; once transformed into a ghost, you’ll find it hard to exact vengeance.”

”I’ll eat it!”

Liu Qianling hesitated not for a moment.

Revenge?

No.

He would never seek vengeance against that Corpse Nurturer.

He simply wants to be as far away as possible from that Corpse Nurturer.

But he wants to destroy Deadman Peak, obliterate that sect he once desperately defended, and reclaim what belonged to him from the hands of Celestial Official Bai. These obsessions can only be fulfilled by surviving.

The black-robed cultivator cackled sinisterly, taking out a black box from his bosom, ”Fellow cultivator, please savor it slowly...”

Liu Qianling eagerly took it, without hesitation pulled out the Yin Luo Pill and swallowed it, but as soon as he did, he fell to his knees with a dramatic thump.

Along with a piercing sound of agony.

The birds and beasts fled in fright.

Liu Qianling’s flesh slowly rotted away, transforming into foul corpse water.

In this process, the black-robed cultivator took out an item, like a compass but fundamentally different. It was covered with dark red blood patterns, densely packed and crawling like worms.

The black-robed cultivator reached his hand into it, and the dark red blood patterns instantly climbed over his arm and extended to his eyes.

As time passed, the black-robed cultivator suddenly twitched violently, trying to withdraw his hand as he convulsed.

”No... No...”

The next moment, the uncovered hand outside the clothes grew visibly older, as if decades had passed in an instant.

Swish!

The flash of a blade.

The black-robed cultivator forcefully severed his arm, finally freeing himself.

After escaping, the black-robed cultivator’s aura rapidly weakened, seeming to age several decades more than before.

At this moment, he no longer paid any heed to his severed hand but busily retrieved several bottles of Healing Yin Pill from his storage bag, pouring them all in, stabilizing his continuously diminishing aura.

Moments later.

Only then did the black-robed elder pick up the severed arm, apprehensively saying, ”Just a glance cost the old me twenty years of lifespan... Didn’t expect, that person to have a fatal lifeline, already fallen... A glance cost twenty years of life, what kind of ancient monster stole this body?”

However.

After recovering from the fright.

The black-robed elder once again burst into cackling laughter, ”For an ancient monster to steal the body of a mere Qi Refining Cultivator, it’s only fitting it becomes my opportunity! It’s only fitting it becomes my opportunity!”

This ancient monster’s soul.

He wants it!

...

Two days later.

Deadman Peak.

Wen Jiu returned home.

Originally, it should have taken only a day, but on the way back, he felt the presence of divination once again, so Wen Jiu stayed another day. Only when he was sure divination hadn’t settled upon him did he return to Deadman Peak.

Despite the considerable gains, Wen Jiu couldn’t find much happiness.

He couldn’t determine if the next time, the other party discovered where he intended to go.

Or maybe discovered something else.

This unsettling feeling of failing to remain as the unsuspecting Old Six was terribly annoying.

”Foundation Establishment! Foundation Establishment!”

”Once I establish myself, I’ll surely drag you out and slaughter you.”

This world can’t allow such overly powerful people to exist!

Except for me!

”From today on, until the Three Evil Flying Corpses reach the limit under Foundation Establishment, I will not leave Deadman Peak again.”

After making his vow, Wen Jiu promptly began to inspect his storage bag’s loot.

What Wen Jiu didn’t expect was, Liu Qianling’s storage bag contained a large amount of Essence Blood.

The quantity and purity level are far more than what Wen Jiu had previously stolen with his Corpse Eye at the Chen Clan Territory.

No need to think.

Obviously, it’s the other half left over from before.

However, compared to the essence blood Wen Jiu obtained before, this time the essence blood contains death energy in an exceedingly dense state, its quality seemingly not inferior to the True Spirit Essence Blood stolen in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

”Seems like something was added to it.” Wen Jiu immediately tried searching through the acquired soul memories.

Sure enough, Wen Jiu found it.

Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine containing a large amount of death energy was added to the essence blood: ten thousand Tier One Lower plants, one thousand Tier One Middle plants, and ten Tier One Superior plants. The purpose was to transform the essence blood into Reversed Essence Blood.

Only then can it be used for Blood Evil Foundation Establishment.

”It’s truly a bargain for me again.”

Wen Jiu understood why the entire Ming Lineage, and even Yin Yang Dust himself, helped in pursuing Senior Brother Li Mu.

Soon.

Midnight descended.

The daily settlement began.

The essence blood gained ten thousand points, five thousand more than last time.

Doubled.

But the leftover death energy exceeded Wen Jiu’s expectations, reaching three times more than before, with a total of six thousand points.

Adding on to that the thousand-plus death energy from killing a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Corpse Nurturer at Black Moon City, and the three thousand-plus death energy gained from Liu Qianling’s healing place devouring Green Ghost, plus thousands of Loose Cultivators.

Death energy surplus directly broke through twelve thousand!

A truly bountiful harvest!

[Death Energy Surplus: 12035]

”Awesome!”

However, despite the excitement.

Wen Jiu still remained rational, not letting the excitement cloud his judgment.

After all, the harvest this time relied somewhat on luck, and another reason was because the Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture effectively countered ghost creatures.

If not, the Green Ghost comparable to a Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator would be difficult to handle.

Clearing his thoughts, Wen Jiu immediately checked the experience points in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

[Foundation Establishment Method - Yin State Heterodox Record: Introduction (156/5000)]

Despite ordinary death energy requiring two points in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record to gain one point of experience, he now had over twelve thousand death energy.

Enough to max out the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

Wen Jiu didn’t hesitate and began clicking madly.

-9688

[Foundation Establishment Method - Yinzhou Heterodox Record: Minor Completion (0/10000)]

[Death Energy Surplus: 2347]

In the next moment.

Wen Jiu felt as if years had passed in a flash, with a torrent of information on cultivating with the Yinzhou Heterodox Record surging in his mind. The previously obscure and difficult words now appeared one by one, becoming remarkably clear.

Yinzhou Heterodox Record divided into stages and realms: Minor Completion, Major Completion, Perfection, as it essentially provides a method of ascension. To elevate one’s realm, one directly enhances the realm of External Foundation Establishment Items.

No longer like before, where realm elevation depended only on cultivating techniques.

This creates substantial differences compared to other cultivation methods.

Once reaching Minor Completion, to further progress, one must first fuse with External Foundation Establishment Items to continue cultivation.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu finally understood another difficult aspect of cultivation.

From the start, one must fuse with External Foundation Establishment Items; however, according to the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, fusion is an extremely dangerous process, with nine out of ten chances for Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer to face death.

After all, this fusion is not as simple as coexistence between ghost creatures and humans, but genuine fusion in the true sense.

Moreover, humans and external objects belong to two different races.

In essence, they are different, making genuine fusion very difficult, hence the nine chances out of ten for death.

However, once fused, the body can gain the magical abilities and cultivation potentially from the External Foundation Establishment Items.

In other words, if fused with the Three Evil Flying Corpses.

He could even utilize the Three Evil Flying Corpses’ Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture!

As for cultivation reciprocation, the situation varies, but the stronger the External Foundation Establishment Items, the more cultivation is reciprocated.

”If I can fuse with the Three Evil Flying Corpses, I will be able to employ Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture, immensely boosting my power again. In the future, I won’t need to spend time cultivating techniques; I can directly use the Three Evil Flying Corpses’!”

”Yet, solving the nine out of ten chance for death problem is crucial.” Although fusion is beneficial, Wen Jiu values his life.

Luckily, as he continued reading, the Yinzhou Heterodox Record provided solutions.

The stronger the fusion objects, the better, ideally reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection.

Put differently, the Three Evil Flying Corpses need to reach the limit below Foundation Establishment before fusion, which is the most reliable method.

”The Three Evil Flying Corpses gained four thousand points of experience from consuming Liu Qianling’s Green Ghost; it won’t take long to reach higher levels... Once at higher levels, reaching Perfection for the Three Evil Flying Corpses will be within grasp!”

By then.

The fusion will occur.

In conjunction with the day of External Foundation Establishment!

[Two updates completed.]

Only seven thousand words.

I apologize.

But still cheekily asking for monthly votes!
