Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 662: Chapter 321: Innate Fate Derivation Object and Cooperating in an Act

However, using the Life Plate to perform the Corpse Fate Technique requires bearing a certain amount of celestial backlash, much like how Wen Jiu now divines others’ fate, which results in loss of the corpse body’s Yin fortune and is rejected by heaven and earth, thereby making the Thunder Tribulation stronger during the crossing.

But that’s not much of a problem, at worst, Three Thousand Blood Inks can place it at the final crossing for realm breakthrough.

Yet the Innate Fate Derivation Object has an even greater function, which is to reduce the consumption of lifespan for the performer. This is a divine artifact for Fate Technique Cultivators, and a valuable tool for Wen Jiu.

Once the Corpse Fate Technique is perfected, one can calculate their own fortune and life, which varies depending on circumstances, while the lifespan of others requires at least a century. If one possesses this object, it might reduce the consumption of lifespan.

Even if it only saves a few hundred years each time, saving these few hundred years of lifespan is enough to perform the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques multiple times and cultivate more Tier Three Blood Corpse Mushrooms, Tier Three Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine.

Saving equates to gaining.

But acquiring the Innate Fate Derivation Object causes irreversible harm to Zhao Ming, and later when forming a core, the difficulty will likely double. Core Formation is already challenging, even with complete resources and superior Core Formation Spiritual Objects, barely one in ten succeeds. With the difficulty multiplied several times, Zhao Ming may never form a core throughout her life.

He doesn’t consider himself a good person, might even be a bad person, but to do this to a little girl who won’t live many more years.

He is still somewhat hesitant.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hongtu spoke up at this moment, ”Two elders, please forgive Zhao Mou’s rudeness. I humbly request both elders to make a Heart Demon Oath, afterward Zhao Mou is willing to die to atone for Zhao Mou’s rudeness.”

”Make it.”

Wen Jiu looked at Wuxinming.

He added another sentence, ”If the things inside have no issues, then you shall fulfill your promise honestly.”

Wuxinming was startled, ”Master He, this...”

”I only conduct transactions with you, not with the Zhao Family,” Wen Jiu replied blandly. The Death Corpses Five Ghosts are not present, and a Heart Demon Oath is something he would never make. Even if those Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines are not needed.

Wuxinming was pleased, ”Okay.”

As the words fell.

Wuxinming immediately made the Heart Demon Oath.

Once the Heart Demon Oath was made, Zhao Hongtu finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly guided Wen Jiu toward the core.

They passed through the Tier Three Middle Grade Killing Array, where, at the center of the array, a masterless storage bag lay quietly. Wuxinming raised a hand and took it over for detailed inspection, while Wen Jiu surveyed the surroundings, always ready to perform Blood Corpse Escape. Even though this array posed no threat, the unpredictability of people’s minds was daunting.

”How is it?”

Wen Jiu asked.

Zhao Hongtu stood nervously by, not daring to speak or disturb.

Wuxinming immediately used Divine Sense Communication, ”There are no issues, all the required Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines are inside. Among them are Tier Three Middle Grade Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines, and the most important Tier Three Top-Grade Divine Concealing Flower is also perfectly preserved, without any Yin Spirit leaking. But later, I need Fellow Daoist’s cooperation in performing a play.”

After the divine sense communication, Wuxinming frowned and spoke, ”What’s the matter, how come there’s still a missing Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal?”

These words fell.

Zhao Hongtu’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly explained, ”Elder, the ancestor said that what should be collected has been collected, there shouldn’t be any mistakes. Moreover, I have checked repeatedly, there are a total of nine items, all present.”

”Nine items? Is Zhao Ya muddled, there should be ten items!” Wuxinming revealed a trace of anxiety and glanced at Wen Jiu beside him, ”Master He, what should we do? There’s only a month left before the furnace is to be opened, where can we find a Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal?”

Wen Jiu secretly laughed in his heart.

This is you actively seeking my help.

Don’t blame me in the future.

Wen Jiu deliberately frowned and said, ”Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal belongs to commodities that technically have no market price in Tier Three Middle Grade, we might have to visit the East Splendor Divine Palace again, the entire West Mountain Floating Domain probably only they have it in stock.”

”Just afraid that they don’t have it, the chance for Master Witch to open the furnace was obtained through great difficulty, delaying it would not only affect alchemy but also offend Master Witch. We...” Wuxinming’s face showed even more concern.

Zhao Santu was so frightened that he fell to his knees and explained vigorously, saying he was willing to mobilize the whole clan’s power to help Wuxinming collect the Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal. Wuxinming then became angry again and reprimanded Zhao Hongtu nearby.

Wen Jiu knew they were still acting.

That’s the state of a Golden Core Clan without a Golden Core presence, they can only be arbitrarily exploited, even when Zhao Hongtu knows a Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal is not needed.

”Forget it, let’s head back to Donghua Immortal City first, solve the issue, it’s just a Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal, there’s always a way,” Wen Jiu cooperatively spoke, ”Spirit Stones will not be needed from you, Fellow Daoist Wuxinming and your ancestor are life-and-death friends, his reprimanding of you was due to sudden impatience, truly even without a Heart Demon Oath, he would protect your Zhao Family... But Fellow Daoist Wuxinming is concerned that if you are helped too easily, your Zhao Family might use his name to cause trouble, hence this play outside. If you send someone to investigate at Donghua Immortal City, Fellow Daoist Wu is kind-hearted, willing to help others, an exemplary figure among our cultivators.”

Wuxinming froze.

Life-and-death friends?

The words seem familiar.

The further he listened, the happier Wuxinming became; Master He’s words provided great assistance.

Took over the Zhao Family.

Just at this moment.

”Master He!”

Wuxinming feigned displeasure.

Seeing such acting, Wen Jiu felt amused, ”Alright, I don’t have the time to play the villain with you. If you intend to shelter the Lu Family, just say it. The furnace is about to be opened, I should hurry to the East Splendor Divine Palace to get the Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal.”

”Master He, you agreed earlier, to accompany me in a performance... You...” Wuxinming was full of complaints.

But Zhao Hongtu’s face, shrouded in gloom, suddenly brightened, and a glimmer of hope climbed into his eyes.

”Junior Zhao Hongtu is grateful for Master Wu’s deep concern, the Zhao Family will undoubtedly remember your great kindness and virtue!”

Zhao Hongtu fell to his knees again with a thud.

”This, this, this...” Wuxinming sighed, ”Do not tell anyone outside after the performance, other than the elders. Since the Zhao Family experienced this, you should seize this opportunity for rebirth.”

Zhao Hongtu replied gratefully, ”Thank you, Master Wu!”

”You shouldn’t just thank me; you should also thank Master He. Master He has accepted my invitation and can be your Zhao Family’s patron. Master He’s clan has two Golden Cores and is a friend of Gongyang Fu from Donghua Immortal City. With his help, your Zhao Family should seize the opportunity for advancement.”

Wuxinming’s expression suddenly became earnest and kind; those not in the know might mistake him for a virtuous and respectable elder.

Wen Jiu watched, regarding it as a spectacle.

”Zhao Mou on behalf of himself, and the whole Zhao Family, thank Master He for the great grace.” Zhao Hongtu bowed his head toward Wen Jiu again.

Wen Jiu lifted him up with a wave of his hand, then glanced at Wuxinming’s eyes filled with cheer, and couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Laugh away, laugh away.

You won’t laugh for long.

Return a favor in abundance for a small kindness.

Watch how you laugh then.

Wuxinming continued, ”Continue the banquet, host it grandly, let those coveting your Zhao Family see.”

”Yes!”

Zhao Hongtu was even happier.

The gloom from the ancestor’s death disappeared completely.

”I will only make an appearance, the Mountain-Suppressing Soul Crystal matter still needs addressing,” Wen Jiu responded, preparing to see Zhao Ming before leaving.

Although he’s not a good person, since it concerns a little girl’s future, some issues still need mentioning.

In this way, if she still wishes to follow, he will accept her as a disciple, guaranteeing her ninety-some years will be spent peacefully. It may be considered compensation for taking the Innate Fate Derivation Object.

”Fellow Daoist better leave a word,” Wuxinming continued.

Wen Jiu understood what Wuxinming meant, it was just letting Master He’s pseudonym leave a comment.

That’s fine.

”I will speak in front of the Zhao family,” he replied.

”Thank you, Master He.” Wuxinming raised his hand in salute.

Zhao Hongtu also bowed in gratitude.

”After the banquet, I will talk to Zhao Ming alone; if she wishes to follow me, she will be my disciple, but not a direct disciple,” Wen Jiu continued.

Zhao Hongtu quickly responded, ”It’s already a blessing for Zhao Ming to become an elder’s disciple; there’s no reason not to go with you.”

”After she establishes her foundation, I will take something from her, which might prevent her from ever achieving Golden Core status.”

These words fell.

Zhao Hongtu’s face became resolute, stunned in place.
