Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 519: Chapter 265: Alchemy Method and Supreme High-Rank [First Update, Asking for Monthly Votes!]

Are you afraid of offending other Golden Cores, but not afraid of offending me?

Master Zhu knew that Du Guan and Shi Zhen, who were disguised as two Corpse Cultivators, had a Golden Core Corpse Cultivator backing them, yet he still chose to proceed like this. Either he thought Du Guan and Shi Zhen were not important to the Golden Core, or the people backing the Alchemy Cultivator far surpassed an Early Stage Golden Core Corpse Cultivator in terms of status and power.

In Wen Jiu’s view, it was probably the latter.

Golden Core Cultivators are old hands; unless someone is stubbornly rigid, none would naively overestimate themselves.

Taking note of this matter secretly, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to continue traveling with the group of cultivators spectating.

Soon, a small Immortal City was reached.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Wen Jiu noticed that there was a Tier Three Lower Grade Defense Array outside the city, capable of resisting attacks from Golden Core Cultivators. However, there were no Golden Core Cultivators inside the Immortal City, only a thousand West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army guarding it.

The strongest cultivators were merely Pseudo-Core.

Clearly, this small Immortal City was built for the Tier Three Yin Vein, so there were only a bit over ten thousand cultivators within.

Ten thousand Loose Cultivators, regardless of how they cultivate, won’t cause excessive depletion of the Tier Three Yin Vein, nor will it affect the Core Formation effect of the Tier Three Yin Vein. Wen Jiu, after carefully sensing this Yin Vein, found it to be of a much higher quality than the Lu Family’s Nightmare Blood Yin Vein, although both were purely composed of Yin Spiritual Qi.

If there were demonic blood Qi like that in the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein, it would greatly benefit the two Corpse Cultivators as a Core Formation Land. But pure Yin Spiritual Qi is also advantageous, and as long as the Core Formation might of the two Corpse Cultivators surpasses the other eight, the Yin Spiritual Qi in it would be enough to help them achieve the Unmelting Golden Pill without any issues.

As the Flying Ship entered the Immortal City during his investigation, Master Zhu spoke, ”Everyone can follow the Spirit Suppressing Army to the Core Formation Land, which is protected by a Pseudo-Tier Three Isolation Array. This master and the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army will also guard outside to defend the path, coupled with the city’s Tier Three Lower Grade Array, surely no Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect will disturb your Core Formation. Others, naturally, wouldn’t dare as well.”

Everyone respectfully performed a courtesy before eagerly following the Spirit Suppressing Army to the Core Formation Land, with the Alchemy Master silently tagging along, quite low-key. As they proceeded, none of the cultivators spoke anymore. Unlike before, when their gazes swept across those around them, they were filled with hostility.

Nonetheless, the most feared by everyone were those two individuals from the Ten Great Heterodox Dao Foundations. Although the Dao Foundations they established wouldn’t enhance their chances of Core Formation, possessing Ten Great Heterodox Dao Foundations itself signifies deep foundation and fortune.

Thus, all cultivators now hold their breath, determined to form their Core Formation might before the two. Once formed, in the case of not having much difference in Core Formation quality, the first to form would have an absolute advantage.

As for the two Corpse Cultivators, none paid attention.

Since they assumed identities of Corpse Cultivators, who are typically sinister, wicked, widely known as ruthless, yet also have Spirit Bodies often scarred, severely eroded by Yin Evil Qi compared to ordinary Heterodox Cultivators.

Therefore, achieving True Pill is as hard as climbing the sky.

However, Wen Jiu was uninterested in being cautious of these stares, as under the Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone there was a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator approaching the Immortal City, concealing his cultivation level. Yet with one look, Wen Jiu recognized him.

East Pole Qi Family.

The Qi Family ancestor — Qi Qiantian.

On par with the Lu Family in power, considered a top Golden Core influence in East Pole Immortal City, often at odds with the Lu Family but maintaining close ties with the He Family. Wen Jiu couldn’t help but lay his gaze on the Alchemy Cultivator amid Qi Qiantian’s unexpected arrival.

”Could it be because of that Alchemy Cultivator?” Wen Jiu quietly watched as Qi Qiantian, draped in a modest black and gold brocade robe, arrived outside the Immortal City, immediately concealing his aura before entering the City Lord’s Mansion.

Master Zhu had been waiting in the backyard for a while. When Qi Qiantian appeared, Master Zhu promptly raised a hand to greet him.

”Elder Qi, these Loose Cultivators selected for Core Formation are all handpicked by me, possessing strength and foundation, even having Ten Great Heterodox Dao Foundations. Yet ultimately, none are threatening to your son. Never expected you’d personally attend.”

Qi Qiantian cupped his fists with a resigned smile, ”Thank you for troubling Master Zhu. The old man can’t help worrying about this young one. Master Zhu knows too, this Alchemy Method wasn’t easy to acquire, it took me fifty whole years.”

”Rest assured Elder Qi, this Alchemy Method is a guarded secret of the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army, immensely complete. Coupled with your son possessing detailed records of multiple Spirit Suppressing Army friends forming Mid-grade Golden Core, alongside the Celestial Yin Pill personally refined by Ren Yuan, the premier Alchemy Master of West Mountain Floating Domain. Your son is certain to at least achieve Middle-Grade Golden Core.” Master Zhu immediately invited Qi Qiantian to sit, then ordered to serve the prepared feast.

After sitting, the two began to drink and chat, mostly about their collaboration, which Wen Jiu was uninterested to hear. But he understood that the Alchemy Cultivator hidden among them turned out to be Qi Qiantian’s illegitimate son.

There was no memory of this in He Xiong Wu’s spiritual soul memory, but Jue Ying and Jue Xing had.

The duo even once fixated on this illegitimate son born in secret from Qi Qiantian’s true love, worrying about Qi Family subtly producing another Golden Core down the road. But after this illegitimate son failed in Core Formation, they stopped targeting him.

As for detailed information about Qi Qiantian’s illegitimate son, Wen Jiu felt too lazy to delve into such melodrama. Regardless of reason or person, this grudge was bound. To obstruct the two Corpse Cultivators is a vendetta.

...

Two days later, preparations complete, Core Formation officially began.

As before, Wen Jiu started to control the Two Corpses to shatter Foundation Establishment, not melting bones, melding the two together, with Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit assisting, the process went smoothly. But a few days later, while Wen Jiu was continuing this, someone had already begun forming Core Formation might; unsurprisingly, it was those two who accomplished the Ten Great Heterodox Dao Foundations.
