Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 657: Chapter 320: Divine Techniques of the Merchant’s Way, After Losing the Golden Core

Immediately afterward, Wen Jiu calculated again for Wuxinming. He suddenly thought of the earlier action by Wuxinming of lending Spirit Stone to others, so he attempted a divination on it first. However, to his surprise, this calculation instantly drained the corpse energy from the Three Thousand Blood Inks, and East Spring Undying Bone quickly helped to restore it, also drawing away thirty percent of East Spring Undying Bone’s corpse energy.

This was already comparable to divining the fate and fortune of a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator level. Yet, Wuxinming was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core.

”It seems the issue lies in the plan,” Wen Jiu thought to himself. He wasn’t afraid of the excessive consumption of corpse energy.

For he had an abundance of corpse energy.

A moment later.

Even after consuming fifty percent of East Spring Undying Bone’s corpse energy.

Just as Wen Jiu suspected, Wuxinming lending Spirit Stone to others was indeed setting up a scheme, one step at a time making those Golden Core Cultivators useful to him. But what caused the Corpse Fate Technique to consume such terrifying corpse energy was a special method practiced by Wuxinming, belonging to the category of Acquired Divine Techniques.

It is called the Path of Humanity and Righteousness!

This Acquired Divine Technique originates from the Heart Demon Sect, created by a Great Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm, classified under the Golden Core level of Acquired Divine Techniques. Not only is it a secret tradition of the Heart Demon Sect, but those who have mastered it over thousands of years are exceedingly rare. It does not belong to the Demonic Evil Technique.

Instead, it belongs to the trade path’s method.

This is the first trade path’s method Wen Jiu has ever seen. However, he is not surprised, as even planting flowers and grasses have their own methods. How could there be nothing for the trade path? After all, this is the Cultivation World.

Out of curiosity, he attempted a divination using the Corpse Fate Technique, and what Wen Jiu did not expect was that this Path of Humanity and Righteousness could transform human relationships into the heaviest righteousness in the world, even heavier than the grace of saving one’s life or recreating one’s life.

And those engaged in trade, who can avoid interpersonal exchanges?

Who can avoid owing someone a favor?

This trade path expert applied this aspect to the extreme, allowing those who owe him favors to bear great karmic ties invisibly. The bearer will not notice immediately, and by the time they fully realize it, it’s already too late.

The Celestial Secret fortune shown by the Corpse Fate Technique reveals that even small matters or minor favors like lending a few Spirit Stones can be magnified to the level of saving a life, truly meaning a small favor demands a great repayment.

And you cannot dodge it.

Even if it’s not about lending Spirit Stones, as long as you owe a favor, it pulls on karma, and the burden from the owed will increasingly grow.

Therefore, although it may seem that Wuxinming merely lent some Spirit Stones, the debt of favors accumulates easily but is not straightforward to repay.

And once karma gets involved, the owed favor is not something you can simply choose not to repay.

If not repaid, it can generate Heart Demons, create obstacles, more prominent than the Heart Demon Oath.

Of course.

There are exceptions.

Evil Dao is an exception.

No other reason, just because Evil Dao is Yin Poisonous, should such cultivators really reach the level of Golden Core, doing good deeds, keeping promises, and respecting karma would instead become their biggest barrier to Realm Breakthrough. This is why nearly all Golden Core Tribulation Cultivators belong to the Evil Dao.

Of course.

Even if you are of the Righteous Path, you can choose not to acknowledge the debt.

How does karma affect you?

After all, you might remain an Early Stage of Golden Core for your entire life, so why bother with obstacles?

Despite Wuxinming cultivating the Path of Humanity and Righteousness, he apparently knows this point, so he lends his Spirit Stones to ordinary Golden Core Influence’s Golden Core Cultivators, those with ties, facing difficulties, and easy to manipulate kind of cultivators.

These cultivators, even if they later understand it’s Wuxinming’s trap, even knowing Wuxinming is a Demon Cultivator, still cannot escape the confines of Wuxinming’s method, nor can they escape Wuxinming’s clutches.

”This trade path method is interesting, indeed a bit dangerous. Luckily, I didn’t take his Spirit Stone before,” Wen Jiu thought to himself but suddenly remembered something, ”Wuxinming seemed to have brought some gifts the first time he visited me. Does accepting the meeting gift count as owing a favor?”

Wen Jiu’s face stiffened.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu immediately used the Corpse Fate Technique to meticulously calculate and identify the karmic restraints he bore. Indeed, there were some, but they were insignificant, apparently, the meeting gift didn’t count as owing a favor, at most it was an exchange of favors. Perhaps returning the meeting gift next time could resolve it.

Also.

If merely accepting a meeting gift means owing a favor, would Wuxinming still think of ways multiple times to lend Spirit Stone to me thereafter?

Of course.

Wen Jiu also entertained thoughts of killing Wuxinming.

Not even needing to return the meeting gift.

But this is precisely the wonder of the trade path’s method, if Wuxinming is killed, the karma would instantly reach a peak.

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, ”No wonder the Heart Demon Sect would let a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator hide in a place like Donghua Immortal City.”

”These Demon Cultivators, where are there any good people!”

Wen Jiu cursed in his heart.

He pondered again, ”This visit, I fear is also to make me owe him something, seizing the opportunity to practice the trade path method.”

Now, Wen Jiu can already confirm that Wuxinming didn’t deceive him, and the duo of Mad Saber Zhenren indeed didn’t know about this matter. As for Black Crow Zhenren hiding the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, when Wen Jiu divined with the Corpse Fate Technique, he also confirmed that it is indeed dangerous for an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivator, Wuxinming didn’t lie.

Fortunately, there is the Corpse Fate Technique.

”It’s a pity, if only the Corpse Fate Technique reached Perfection, it could directly divine fortune and misfortune, without needing such meticulous peeling apart. The Great Success Corpse Fate Technique is still too weak, even consuming a large amount of corpse energy and mental effort to peel away, still cannot be completely sure of any oversight.” Before closing the Dark Realm, Wen Jiu sighed with regret.
