Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 487: Chapter 249: Visiting Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Pei Wuxing’s Welcome Gift

The sound shook the Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

It drew countless loose cultivators’ attention, stirring their hearts.

It turns out a Golden Core Zhenren has arrived.

No wonder such a grand spectacle.

Master Du?

Never heard of him.

Perhaps he hails from outside the Divine Fall Mountain Range?

And just as everyone was wildly speculating, the hundred thousand city guards of the entire Immortal City spoke in unison at this moment.

Their voices were like turbulent waves.

Shooting straight into the sky.

”Greetings, Master Du!”

”Greetings, Master Du!”

”Greetings, Master Du!”

Seeing such a spectacle, to be honest, Wen Jiu found it hard not to feel joyful. Having endured for so long, keeping a low profile for so long, finally, he was in the limelight for once. Thousands of cultivators bowed their heads, after all, it still had to be a Golden Core Zhenren.

”This won’t do, I must not become complacent... Having reached the Golden Core stage, my lifespan is ample, allowing me to slowly plot beyond the Golden Core, but the Early Stage of Golden Core is not the focus; in the Cultivation Realm, events unfold rapidly; who knows if the next moment will bring a torrential downpour or clear skies? I must continue to prioritize discretion, by no means becoming conceited.”

Within Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu repeatedly reminded himself and immediately introspected his cultivation level, realizing he was only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. The East Spring Undying Bone was merely a protective means and not his own strength.

After a hundred breaths.

Wen Jiu gradually became completely calm, and when looking at the grand spectacle of the Wind and Cloud Immortal City again, it was basically as light as clouds and breeze.

But one must admit, this feeling indeed makes one feel relaxed and happy, no wonder those Golden Core cultivators like to form factions. Not to mention anything else, just the feeling of being above others is quite comfortable.

Cultivators, in the end, cannot escape worldly conventions.

...

In the following half a day, the East Spring Undying Bone was welcomed into the City Lord’s Mansion of the Wind and Cloud Immortal City amidst grand pomp. A grand welcome banquet also began at this time, though those who could attend were mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for those who could sit with him, only Master Pei was worthy, Wei Daoist, Lin Suqiu, and Chu Ying were all sitting on the sidelines. Foundation Establishment cultivators could only sit ten zhang away.

The welcome banquet lasted for an hour, during which Wei Daoist, Lin Suqiu, and Chu Ying lavished him with flattery and praise. Pei Wuxing even appointed East Spring Undying Bone as the Honorary City Lord of the Wind and Cloud Immortal City, placing him on an equal footing with Pei Wuxing. Of course, without real power, but Wen Jiu didn’t care.

For Pei Wuxing to pull such a move, Wen Jiu speculated it was likely to show the Three Life Gates, after all, the Three Life Gates recently attacked the Little Demon Realm, though ultimately failing in their realm breakthrough, mostly because of him, it’s considered a grudge of obstruction. The Three Life Gates were well aware of it, so eventually, they would come to Pei Wuxing for revenge.

Pei Wuxing understood this too, so he used him as a deterrent, making the Three Life Gates wary. To be honest, with just this move, Wen Jiu felt seven tenths were too little, any less than eight would be because of his kind and compassionate heart.

”Using me as leverage, let’s see how generous your meeting gift will be, if it’s not generous...” Wen Jiu tended the Blood Corpse Mushroom, his tone full of coldness. To say nothing else, he remembered deeply the moment his guy was threatened by Wei Daoist in the Hidden Pavilion.

Even though Wei Daoist later took the blame for him twice, some things can’t be smoothed over by taking the blame twice.

After the welcome banquet, East Spring Undying Bone was arranged to stay in the Hua Mansion next to the City Lord’s Mansion, with a Pseudo-Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array guarding it. Except for the City Lord’s Mansion, this Hua Mansion was the place with the densest Spiritual Qi in the Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

As for the arranged hundred young maids, Wen Jiu dismissed them all, as he usually didn’t reside in the Wind and Cloud Immortal City, too many people were a bother. Not long after, Pei Wuxing, along with Wei Daoist and the other two, came again.

Each of the three carried a high-quality Spirit Jade Box, the items contained within promising to be anything but ordinary.

East Spring Undying Bone used Divine Sense to probe, and Wen Jiu located information about the three items from the soul memories of the demon cultivators, Master Jue Ying, and He Xiong Wu. The first item, the Hundred Evils Essence Blood Pill, a Tier Three Lower Grade.

It is the supreme cultivation item for corpse cultivators, ghost cultivators, and other heterodox cultivators, not commonly seen even in East Pole Immortal City. It’s not that East Pole Immortal City lacks Tier Three Yin Alchemists, nor is it short of the evil yin spiritual medicine to refine it.

But the Hundred Evils Essence Blood Pill requires several kinds of substantial essence blood from Tier Three Golden Core Great Demons, if obtained all at once, a Tier Three Golden Core Great Demon would need ten or twenty years to recuperate, hence it’s usually collected in several rounds.

Even so, finding Tier Three Great Demons willingly donating their essence blood is not easy. As for cultivators who nurture Tier Three Spirit Beasts, how could they possibly use their prized possessions as alchemy ingredients?

”This Tier Three Lower Grade Hundred Evils Essence Blood Pill was acquired by Pei Mou in an auction in a Floating City in the West Mountain Floating Domain, costing over ten million Spirit Stones. Originally intended to enhance foundation and aid in realm breakthrough, failing to break through... Pei Mou won’t be needing this in the coming decades, so it serves as one of the meeting gifts for Daoist Friend.” Pei Wuxing gestured for Wei Daoist to present the item respectfully.

The second item wasn’t an elixir pill but a Tier Three Lower Grade evil yin spiritual medicine, whose value is not less than the Hundred Evils Essence Blood Pill, and possesses exceedingly abundant extremely cold corpse energy, truly extraordinary.

The information about this item was also present in the memories of the three, it was called the Earth Cold Corpse Pearl, an accompanying product of the special zombie, Earth Cold Flying Corpse. This corpse naturally possessed tier three foundation, and as long as this Earth Cold Corpse Pearl was cultivated to tier three, an Earth Cold Flying Corpse swallowing it could step into tier three; other zombies could also benefit immensely from consuming it.

For these reasons, this item is highly coveted by other heterodox golden cores.

”This is the Earth Cold Corpse Pearl, which Pei Mou obtained by killing a heterodox Golden Core Corpse Cultivator in the Lifeless Abyss. Unfortunately, the deceased didn’t have time to let the Earth Cold Flying Corpse consume this item, truly regrettable. Were it otherwise, Pei Mou wouldn’t have had the chance to eliminate it.” Pei Wuxing made Lin Suqiu offer it up, then quietly observed East Spring Undying Bone’s expression.

Wen Jiu, controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, nodded in satisfaction, ”Master Pei is generous, just for these two treasures, this incident today, Du Mou considers forgotten.”

Pei Wuxing’s expression tightened, yet he dared not say more; indeed, what he expected, today’s incident led this Master Du to displeasure. Fortunately, he had foresight and promptly prepared three lavish gifts.

The three items, although valuable, were mostly things he couldn’t use. Rather than hold onto them, pondering how to sell them off in the future, it was better to use them to foster a good relationship with a powerful corpse cultivator; at the very least, with this person present, the Three Life Gates wouldn’t dare target the Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and even if they wanted to attack again, they would need to weigh their options.

Following that, Pei Wuxing continued, ”This third item, though not as precious as the first two treasures, Pei Mou dares to guarantee, it’s sure to be of the most interest to Daoist Friend—Pseudo-Tier Three Demon Bone Crystal. Formed from the refinement of hundreds of Foundation Establishment Demon Corpses, nurtured in the Demon Realm for a thousand years; it can replace a zombie’s origin, transforming it into a Demon Corpse, directly pointing towards the Realm of Golden Core Perfection.”

”Hmm?”

Wen Jiu scrutinized the Pseudo-Tier Three Demon Bone Crystal, somewhat astonished. Due to its pseudo-tier three nature, it indeed wasn’t as valuable as true tier three items, but its value far outweighed most pseudo-tier three items, even within the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, such an item was extremely rare.

It was simply due to the need to use the corpse of a demon cultivator nurtured for a thousand years, with bone quality unyielding even after ten thousand years, to refine it. The demon cultivator remains obtained in the Demon Nurturing Forest earlier were of such quality, hence Wen Jiu wanted to merge them with Master Jue Ying.

This Demon Bone Crystal, though not as precious or powerful as the demon cultivator remains, prevailed by quantity.

Pei Wuxing handed it to him.

Perhaps with other intentions in mind.

”If you have something to say, Daoist Friend, feel free.” Wen Jiu queried directly.

Pei Wuxing, instantly exposed, laughed awkwardly, ”Daoist Friend, you are indeed knowledgeable and insightful; originally, Pei Mou intended to discuss things further after Daoist Friend used this item, but seeing through it at a glance, Pei Mou shall speak directly.”

Wen Jiu awaited the response.

Pei Wuxing continued, ”Pei Mou wishes to seek your assistance on something; like those thousand-year nurtured demon cultivator remains, honestly, they are amassed in piles, in thousands or tens of thousands. Yet Pei Mou’s abilities are limited, unable to fully utilize them, hence needing Daoist Friend’s help. We can collaborate to obtain the resources within the demon remains. Daoist Friend can use them for corpse-nourishing, and I can seize the opportunity to transform the Spirit Body into a Corpse Body, leveraging the path of a Body Cultivator to reach higher realms.”
