Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 631: Chapter 311: Demon Realm Ideals, Seeking Another Path

After leaving the discussion site, the Lu Family Elders dispersed one after another. Although they didn’t quite understand the Ancestor’s leniency and generosity, they didn’t dwell on it or feel envious, but instead hastened to leave the family land and head to the Qi Family territory.

Each Golden Core Elder of the Lu Family represents a lineage, and as the head of a lineage, they naturally had to quickly go and help their own people to profit.

Although Qi Mountain had already been given to Lu Chan, making it impossible for them to reach for it no matter how tempted they were, outside the East Pole Immortal City lay the thousand-year heritage of the Qi Family, rich with opportunities for profit. If they were late, they wouldn’t even get a sip of soup.

Just as Lu Shouren was about to set off, Lu Changyin followed calmly and slowly, ”Shouren, why do you insist on this again? Lu Chan is destined to establish her own lineage and become a Pulse Master; she can’t forever be an obedient disciple. If you refuse to speak up for her today, once her lineage gradually forms, there will be plenty of people willing to stand with her. When that day comes, the relationship between you two might be irreparable.”

Lu Shouren’s face was gloomy, ”Elder Changyin, don’t you always refrain from involving yourself in the Lu Family’s matters? Why are you bothering to lecture me today?”

”I don’t want to involve myself in the Lu Family’s matters, but I also don’t want to see you and your disciple turn against each other, only to benefit others needlessly.”

Lu Changyin sighed.

Then he continued, ”Now, Lu Chan holds two Tier Three Yin Veins, which everyone covets. Most of the Lu Family’s Demon Flesh business will be under her control in the future. Do you really want to hand her over to others on a silver platter?”

”Do I really have to apologize and admit my mistakes to her?” Lu Shouren’s eyes showed increased impatience, ”To be honest, nowadays, whenever I give Lu Chan an order, she always finds an excuse to refuse. Initially, she received the Cold Pool Mist Valley from the Ancestor, which was a tremendous opportunity for my lineage. With her as a Heterodox Golden Core stationed at the Yin Vein core, I could send people inside to cultivate a large number of Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines, nurture special Spirit Beasts, and it would become the best place to produce rare Tier Two Top-Grade Yin Talismans and even Tier Three Yin Talismans. We could also train more powerful Ghost Cultivators, Corpse Cultivators, etc.

But what did she do? She refused me on the grounds of needing to enter seclusion, and not only cleared out the core area of the Yin Vein, but also hypocritically prevented even her own disciples from entering. Yet, why can that boy Lu Xinghe go in? Is it really true that my people can’t compare to a great-grandson of the Fourth Elder, Lu Xinyou?

I confronted her, and she just gave excuses, even putting on the airs of a True Pill when my eldest disciple Lu Tianhong went to see her. She’s clearly determined to cut ties with me, Lu Shouren. What else can I do?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changyin’s expression shifted, but he quickly recovered, then patted Lu Shouren’s back, ”Shouren, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Maybe the girl just lost her head for a moment. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely try to talk to her. After all, ingrained kindness runs deep.”

”Elder Changyin, I know you don’t want to engage in the Lu Family’s matters and prefer not to see the family involved in anything, content to lead an unfettered life. This is a personal matter for me, so I dare not burden you.” Lu Shouren restrained his impatience, unwilling to say more, but felt significantly relieved after voicing his concerns.

With others, he wouldn’t dare to speak so freely, but he trusted Lu Changyin’s character.

Having been in the Golden Core for over three hundred years, he doesn’t compete or vie; any benefits he receives, he shares. When family members encounter issues, he doesn’t hesitate to help. Though he appears a bit lax, his integrity is beyond doubt, and he wouldn’t gossip about what’s been shared.

Lu Changyin sighed and said, ”Alright then, since you insist, I won’t worry too much about it. I’m sure as her master, you have more ways than me. However, if you ever need my assistance, just ask. No matter where I am, I’ll immediately hurry back to help.”

”Thank you, Elder Changyin.”

Lu Shouren clasped his fists in gratitude, then took his leave.

Lu Changyin watched as his figure disappeared completely, a faintly sinister smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

He then immediately turned and left East Pole Immortal City.

Heading towards the direction of

the east of West Mountain Floating Domain.

...

Three days later.

Within the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Lu Changyin transformed into a Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivator, his appearance drastically changed. Standing under the shade of a sky-covering tree three thousand miles away from the Cold Pool Mist Valley, he made hand seals, his black eyes flickering with a strange light as he looked toward the Cold Pool Mist Valley.

In his gaze, the scenery of the Mist Valley slowly emerged, as if it were right before his eyes. At the same time, a lone Heterodox Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level slowly entered the Mist Valley, and after reaching the market, found a window seat at a restaurant, drinking alone, while the window faced directly toward the Cold Pool.

”Just as expected, the Cold Pond is covered by a Tier Three Array, and no one can approach it, so Li Bai must be inside.” When the Lu Family Ancestor Lu Feng mentioned that Qi Qiansha was being dealt with by Lu Chan and another person, his first thought was of the missing Li Bai.

Yesterday, he asked the Dark Altar Fate Technique Cultivator to divine whether Qi Qiansha was still alive, and the result was that he had already died.

But when attempting to divine the person who killed him, even a Tier Three Fate Technique Soul Cultivator was at a loss, the divination indicating grave misfortune. If not Li Bai, whose destiny and celestial secrets could be so profound that even a Tier Three Fate Technique Soul Cultivator couldn’t divine them?

If that weren’t enough to prove it, then what Lu Shouren said a few days ago was the best evidence.

As well as Lu Feng’s leniency towards Lu Chan.

If not for Li Bai being there.

If Qi Qiansha hadn’t been killed by Li Bai.

Would Lu Feng be so magnanimous?

And how would Lu Chan dare to defy her master, Lu Shouren?

”Lu Feng, Lu Feng, it turns out that this was all a play orchestrated by you. If not for your desire to completely destroy the Qi Family this time, perhaps no one would know that Li Bai was never real, but has always been within the Lu Family.”
