Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 644: Chapter 317: Corpse Concealing Elixir, Soul-Controlling Lu Feng

”If someone else asked me this, I’d tell them to get lost. If they didn’t, they’d at least lose some skin even if they didn’t die. However, since it’s Fellow Daoist Gongyang asking, I will naturally answer truthfully,” Wen Jiu spoke.

Upon hearing this, Gongyang Fu couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

He knew these words were likely intentional, not to be taken seriously, but they were pleasing to hear nonetheless.

Wen Jiu continued, ”Indeed, my East Spring Undying Bone has reached Tier Three, and both my technique and body have entered the Golden Core Realm.”

”May I have the honor of witnessing it?”

Gongyang Fu pressed on.

”The East Spring Undying Bone is inconvenient, but the Golden Core Spirit Body can be shown,” Wen Jiu said, revealing his Tier Three Spirit Body but completely suppressing the aura of the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core. Even a Late Stage of Golden Core cultivator couldn’t perceive it.

Gongyang Fu carefully observed and praised, ”Dual cultivation of body and technique into the Golden Core doesn’t just rely on resources; it requires great talent. You, fellow Daoist, have both your technique and body in the Golden Core Realm, far surpassing me.”

”Fellow Daoist Gongyang, you overpraise.”

Wen Jiu politely replied, retracting his Spirit Body.

”Please!”

Gongyang Fu personally poured a cup of Spirit Tea for Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu took a sip and quietly awaited Gongyang Fu’s next words. When this cup of Spirit Tea was poured, their relationship approached equality rather than one being superior. So, whatever Gongyang Fu said next, or whatever he wanted Wen Jiu to do, would be approached cooperatively.

As long as it was doable, Wen Jiu wouldn’t refuse. After all, his main purpose in Donghua Immortal City was to foster a good relationship with Gongyang Fu. As for cultivation, Donghua Immortal City, being a Spirit Vein, was only suitable for cultivating the Three Souls Flawless and Cyan Wheat Three Techniques. Helping Gongyang Fu with certain tasks in his spare time from practicing these two techniques was no big deal.

However, Wen Jiu felt that the task Gongyang Fu wanted him to undertake was definitely not simple, as he kept glancing at the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill.

As expected.

Gongyang Fu then said, ”Master He, from this moment we might as well consider ourselves acquainted. If you’re not adverse, let us become friends. If either of us needs help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Such words left no room for doubt.

The matter was definitely not trivial.

Wen Jiu set down his tea cup, ”Fellow Daoist Gongyang, feel free to speak. As long as it’s within my capability, I’ll do my utmost to assist.”

”To be honest, it’s about my Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill. Although I acquired a Tier Three Middle Grade Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill through my master’s connections, raising it to Tier Three Top Grade is not a simple task.”

”Fellow Daoist, please continue.”

”The refining method for the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill is unique, and the alchemical environment differs from ordinary alchemy. The Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill uses the Innate Death Land as the furnace, Deathless Death Fire as the pill fire, fuses with Innate Death Qi and Extremely Yin and Evil Qi, and then, through a special alchemical method, sparks intelligence, turning it into a living entity. Therefore, to cultivate its grade, the best method is to cultivate a living elixir.”

”Living elixir?”

Wen Jiu was hearing this term for the first time.

Are herbs really divided into living and non-living?

”A so-called living elixir isn’t about life or death, but about inducing a Demon Spirit from an Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, transforming it into a living entity. With long-term nourishment, it could even become a Great Demon. Such an Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine is the best nurturing material for the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill.”

”Does Fellow Daoist have a living elixir for me to see?”

”I do.”

Without hesitation, Gongyang Fu retrieved an herb-like Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine from his storage bag, a Pseudo-Tier Three item with nothing notably special. However, if one used their Divine Sense to explore, they could see a demon spirit, resembling a beast-like soul entity, attached to the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine.

Due to its presence, when Gongyang Fu called out, the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine’s Divine Sense would respond.

When instructed to nod, the herbaceous Divine Sense would mimic Gongyang Fu’s nodding, like a newborn infant.

Indeed, it was quite magical.

But in reality, the most magical aspect wasn’t that an herb had a demon spirit.

In fact, in the world, there are indeed occurrences of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects and heavenly materials and earthly treasures evolving into demons.

Although rare.

Such cases do exist.

These demonic entities are either backed by great fortune or have extraordinary origins.

Ordinary Evil Yin Spirits and heavenly materials and earthly treasures simply couldn’t give rise to demon spirits and become demon entities.

Unless they lived for tens of thousands of years.

But given the number of cultivators in the Hundred Floating Domains, what heavenly material or earthly treasure could survive that long without being harvested?

Thus, Wen Jiu marveled that Gongyang Fu actually possessed the methodology to directly cultivate such demonic entities. If this Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine were cultivated for several more decades, it could assuredly transform into a demon entity.

The transformation of vegetation into demons is not ordinary. Although most lack combat power, they possess their own unique methods. Wen Jiu had seen related demon legends in the soul memories of Zang Qianjian.

An Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine transforming into a demon spirit could possess the ability to traverse space at will, comparable to the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core.

However, as Wen Jiu was astonished, his Divine Sense detected an unusual aura within the demon spirit of the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine. It was extremely faint, imperceptible to the Divine Sense of an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

This aura, thread-like and nearly invisible, revealed an exceedingly terrifying death qi even in its tiny gray strands. This death qi was not the result of the demise of living things.

It seemed birthed from the heavens and the earth, more refined than Innate Death Qi, colder too, casting a chill as if plunging into an ice cave.

”Fellow Daoist Gongyang, there seems to be more you haven’t disclosed,” Wen Jiu didn’t directly reveal the existence of the gray aura.

”More?”

Gongyang Fu looked bewildered.

Wen Jiu was momentarily speechless.

This approach takes away the fun.
