Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 664: Chapter 322: The First Disciple, Zhong Qi Pays a Visit

”No way to do it early.”

Wen Jiu didn’t hide anything and told the truth.

This included the matter of the Star Fate Chart.

Because hiding it would only make Zhao Ming suffer more. Now, while she’s young, the pain of knowing the truth can still fade with time.

”Master...” For a moment, Zhao Ming couldn’t accept the result, her bright smile like a moon overshadowed by dark clouds.

Wen Jiu didn’t offer comfort.

Because he didn’t know how to comfort.

”Accompany me for a walk.”

Zhao Ming slowly nodded, forcing a smile.

However.

Wen Jiu originally thought Zhao Ming would be gloomy and melancholic for a while, but unexpectedly, as soon as they hit the streets and saw the strange and exotic items lining the way, the storm of shadows on her face completely passed.

A bright smile once again appeared.

And she began to spend wildly without any care.

Of course.

She wanted to spend.

There was nothing in Donghua Immortal City that a small Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator could afford.

But even if she couldn’t buy anything, it didn’t dampen her enthusiasm for looking.

”This girl...” Wen Jiu shook his head and laughed, not knowing how to evaluate her.

He hoped the girl truly didn’t care, rather than burying her pain inside.

Anyway.

Since Zhao Ming has made her choice, whether she truly wants it or is forced to accept it for the Zhao Family, he will definitely acquire the Innate Fate Derivation Object.

...

In the days that followed, ever since Zhao Ming moved into the Hua Mansion, its once-lonely atmosphere eased quite a bit. The pond, which was always fishless, improved since Zhao Ming bought some Tier Two Spirit Fish.

After Wen Jiu mentioned it was decent, Zhao Ming eagerly began decorating the Hua Mansion’s courtyard.

The flowerbeds, grasslands, stone paths, and so on were adorned with various exotic flowers and plants, making the place resemble the Hua Mansion much more. When the old steward Gongyang Fu visited, Zhao Ming warmly welcomed him, saying things that made the old man’s heart bloom. After all, hearing certain words from a child has a very different effect.

The cultivation of the Corpse Concealing Elixir showed no significant progress, and there were no major changes from the Lu Family’s side either.

Before they knew it, a month had passed, and Wuxinming finally returned. He seemed unaltered, clearly indicating he hadn’t yet begun applying the Path of Humanity and Righteousness.

On this day, Wuxinming came again, accompanied by Mad Saber Zhenren Zhong Qi and his Dao companion, Blood Moon Zhenren Li Zhi. But it seemed this time Wuxinming was forced to come.

”Fellow Daoist Zhong, Fellow Daoist Li, things really happened as I said. Black Crow Zhenren was accidentally killed, and then Master He and I went to the Zhao Family and luckily retrieved his part of the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine.”

Wuxinming reiterated at the door.

Clearly.

His words sounded less like an explanation and more like a reminder to Wen Jiu.

Zhong Qi stared coldly at Wuxinming, ”Talking more is useless, when we see He Jiu later, everything will be clear.”

”Fine, fine.” Wuxinming was somewhat helpless, stepping forward to knock.

Zhao Ming quickly ran over to open the door. Seeing Wuxinming and the two other unfathomable cultivators, her face tensed but she immediately bowed, ”Zhao Ming greets Master Wu and the two seniors.”

”This He Jiu seems quite honest usually, but didn’t expect him to raise a little girl at home. Indeed, all Corpse Cultivators are like this.” Blood Moon Zhenren Li Zhi couldn’t hide the disdain in her eyes.

Upon hearing her master being misunderstood, Zhao Ming bravely explained, ”Senior, you misunderstood. Master He is my master. And he isn’t the kind of person you say he is, he’s actually very good.”

”Master?”

Li Zhi looked dubious.

She understood the ways of the Corpse Dao.

Not to mention an apprentice.

Even a fellow master was the same.

There’s no good person among Corpse Cultivators.

At that moment, a voice resounded, ”Blood Moon Zhenren, what did you eat this morning for your mouth to smell so rank?”

The voice fell.

Wen Jiu walked out from the mansion.

Li Zhi’s face tensed, angered, ”He Jiu, what did you say?”

”You’re courting death!”

Zhong Qi also spoke angrily.

The sudden confrontation startled Zhao Ming, turning her face pale, and leaving her not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu comforted her with a word, ”Go back and cultivate.”

”Yes, Master.”

Only then did Zhao Ming calm down a bit, quickly retreating.

After Zhao Ming left, Wen Jiu spoke again, ”If the two of you still intend to refine alchemy, then clean up your mouths a bit. If not, I can just turn around and sell this Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine to a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator.”

”You!”

Li Zhi was choked with anger.

Seeing this, Wuxinming quickly stepped in to mediate, ”Everyone, don’t be hasty, let’s not argue here; let’s settle matters inside, inside.”

”It’s unnecessary. Although I am taking refuge in Donghua Immortal City, I am not a person without a temper. Whether you believe me or not, you have to believe. Else, I’d sell the items to Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators.”

Wen Jiu merely wanted to live a low-key life in Donghua Immortal City and wasn’t keen on unnecessary conflicts, but truly, don’t push him.

He can’t be pushed.

And none of you can withstand beating.

”He Jiu, if we’re not refining alchemy, then you won’t be refining either.” Zhong Qi stated angrily.

Wen Jiu waved his hand dismissively, ”I’m indifferent; I’ve just entered the Golden Core, and still have over eight hundred years of life to squander.”

Zhong Qi and Li Zhi’s faces tensed.

They had only two to three hundred years left.

Not to mention squandering.

If this opportunity is missed, it would be hard to gather alchemy materials in the future.

Seeing the atmosphere stiffen, Wuxinming quickly intervened to advise, ”Fellow Daoists, let’s not sever ties; it benefits no one. Currently, that piece of Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine is with Master He, even if you don’t trust me, there are no other options.”

”Fellow Daoist Wu, if it weren’t for your sake, I...” Zhong Qi looked earnest with anger.

But he was already retreating.

Li Zhi was supremely unwilling but said nothing more. Compared to the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, nothing else mattered. If He Jiu indeed sold that Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine to the Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, would there be any share of the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills left for them? Likely, those Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines would only bring disaster upon them.

”Fine, fine, for my sake.” Wuxinming echoed a few words, pushing Zhong Qi toward the other side of the street.

Wen Jiu couldn’t be bothered with the two and turned back to close the door.

But upon re-entering the mansion, he saw Zhao Ming standing there nervously, holding Spirit Tea and carefully asking, ”Master, did I cause trouble for you?”

In Zhao Ming’s mind, those two were surely Golden Core Cultivators, and if she caused her master to clash with a Golden Core Zhenren because of herself, she’d be at huge fault.

She clearly remembered the situation when Master Wu and her master visited the Zhao family; everyone in the Zhao Family was on edge.

”Where’s the talk of trouble? You even knew to speak up for me, which is quite good.” Wen Jiu reassured her with a smile, lifting his hand to send over a few bottles of Qi Cultivation Pills. Since Zhao Ming had come to Donghua Immortal City, he had witnessed her fear and caution; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to continue even decorating the yard if not for hearing his approval.

This girl, who was so cautious and afraid of everything around her, was bold enough to stand up for him against a Golden Core Zhenren.

Truly remarkable.

He couldn’t deny, he really kind of liked this disciple.

Regrettably.

She’s bound by a Star Fate Chart.

Destined to be a fleeting moment in his Dao journey.

”Thank you, Master.” Zhao Ming accepted the reward, her heart filled with warmth, and she explained, ”As your disciple, I couldn’t bear to see anyone tarnish you, Master. You, as a Golden Core Zhenren, neither bullied others nor treated Zhao Family female cultivators as handmaidens like Master Wu did. Where else can such a good Golden Core Zhenren be found under heaven? ... Yet to unjustly defame you, she really was despicable.”

”Alright, go cultivate.”

Wen Jiu gave a helpless smile.

If you knew that your master had lived like this for a long time, would you be angered to death on the spot?

Being misunderstood was the fate of those who followed the Heterodox Dao.

In fact.

It seemed Zhong Qi and Li Zhi could each receive a Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill.

Today they misunderstood him.

Even startled his only disciple.

Perhaps he’ll don a disguise tomorrow to take lives and seize their possessions.

That wouldn’t be excessive, would it?

Doesn’t that sound reasonable?
