Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 667: Chapter 324: Here for Me?

”Take out the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine.” Master Witch’s voice echoed in the somewhat dim Pill Hall, ”I believe my disciple has already explained to you that the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, one furnace can guarantee at least four pills. However, if my hands are in good shape, occasionally five or six pills can be produced.”

Wuxinming nodded, ”Master Witch, Fellow Daoist Gongyang has already mentioned it.”

Zhong Qi and Li Zhi also responded affirmatively.

Master Witch continued, ”Today’s situation is a bit different. If we produce five or six pills, I would hope you sell the extras to me.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu subtly showed a trace of doubt. Would Master Witch really need to reach the point of buying Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills from an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivator?

While Wen Jiu was pondering, Wuxinming had already looked at him, and Zhong Qi and Li Zhi nodded without hesitation. Since they, as a couple, only wanted one pill each, selling the extra to Master Witch was no issue.

”Alright.”

Wen Jiu replied.

It was only then that Wuxinming spoke, ”Master Witch, my fellow Daoists have no objections, you can take the extras.”

”That’s good.” Master Witch smiled satisfactorily, gesturing for everyone to step aside, then carefully examined the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine. After confirming there were no issues, he started throwing them one by one into the ten-foot-tall Pill Furnace.

The Yin Fire roared up, but instead of bringing heat, it carried a chill, a chill so eerie that even Golden Core Cultivators felt uneasy. Wen Jiu did not act, as he was a Golden Core Corpse Cultivator after all.

During this time, everyone barely dared to breathe, their eyes fixed on the situation inside the Pill Furnace, even though it was at least seven or eight days until the pills would form. But Wuxinming and the other two were already looking forward to it.

Gongyang Fu watched from the side intently, seemingly genuinely learning the alchemy techniques, as if the vocal reminder just now did not exist. The Golden Core Female Cultivator at the Middle Stage was also doing the same.

As time ticked by, four days later, the refinement of the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine was completed.

Even though Wen Jiu was not a Yin Alchemy Master, he knew the next step was the fusion of the medicinal liquid. Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the details. Wen Jiu was not interested in pondering over the techniques and was only pretending to focus on the Pill Furnace for the Middle Stage Golden Core Female Cultivator. After some consideration, Wen Jiu now felt Master Witch’s earlier actions might be related to the Golden Core Female Cultivator.

If that’s true.

Then Gongyang Fu’s vocal reminder made a lot of sense.

If five pills cannot be formed.

What will happen?

It’s unknown.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed, and the Condensing Pill stage was in its final phase, with the pill’s aroma starting to rise. Wuxinming and the two others’ faces were filled with anticipation. Although they didn’t dare to release their Divine Sense to probe directly into the Pill Furnace, purely by perception, Wen Jiu could still sense some subtle nuances within the furnace.

He only sensed the waves of four Yin Pills; a fifth seemed to appear but only lingered for half a quarter of an hour before vanishing in the Yin Fire. Wen Jiu even thought he had sensed incorrectly, but when he saw Master Witch’s brows suddenly furrow, he understood that his senses were not mistaken at all.

What he least wanted to see had still happened.

But he was not particularly worried; after all, the Golden Core Female Cultivator was merely seeking a pill, and if she targeted his, it wasn’t a big deal to give it to her. The Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill wasn’t the only option.

At worst, he could take it back later, perhaps with interest.

On the seventh day.

The pill’s aroma intensified abruptly, reaching its peak, and the soaring Yin Fire gradually weakened inside the Pill Furnace. The smaller the Yin Fire, the stronger the pill’s aroma, and Wuxinming and others’ faces grew brighter and more joyful.

However, when the four crimson cyan Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills appeared, Gongyang Fu’s brows furrowed.

Master Witch also sighed, ”Four pills formed, what a pity. I tried my best to condense a fifth pill, but due to a slight mishap in fire control, the fifth had to be sacrificed to the Yin Fire.”

”Master Witch, don’t blame yourself. Across the entire West Mountain Floating Domain, only you can stably produce four pills in a furnace of Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills,” Zhong Qi said excitedly, flattering.

Wuxinming did the same.

”With time, you’ll certainly achieve Tier Three Top-Grade Yin Alchemist status, making a name throughout the Hundred Floating Domains.”

At the side, Li Zhi was equally excited, his eyes clinging to the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, unable to move away.

Wen Jiu didn’t join in the conversation, just watched quietly without offering flattering words, for it wasn’t directed at them.

It was meant for the Middle Stage Golden Core Female Cultivator.

Sure enough.

The Middle Stage Golden Core Female Cultivator slowly spoke, her cold voice echoing in the Pill Hall, ”Senior Brother, no need to blame yourself; my luck wasn’t enough for five pills. You take a rest; I’ll handle the next steps myself.”

Master Witch nodded, adding a reminder, ”Don’t force things and damage your reputation. Be sure to provide the necessary compensation.”

”Be assured, Third Senior Brother.” The female cultivator spoke again, removing her Alchemy Master’s robe to reveal an exquisite Tier Three Top-Grade Red Robe, her gaze landing on Wen Jiu.

”Is this Fellow Daoist Zhao Ya? I am Du Yueqing of the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion. My master is Duan Qianren, the Golden Core Perfection Cultivator of the pavilion. I’m sure you’ve heard of his name. If not, just know that Master Witch is my Third Senior Brother.” Du Yueqing focused intently on Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu furrowed his brows.

Zhao Ya?

It seems this female cultivator had already known about Wuxinming and the others, planning in advance.

As for Duan Qianren, Wen Jiu knew nothing, but upon hearing of the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion and Master Witch being her Senior Brother, it was clear she had notable origins.

But before Wen Jiu could respond, Gongyang Fu took a respectful bow and quickly said, ”Mistress, you’re mistaken; he isn’t Fellow Daoist Zhao Ya. You came in a rush and hadn’t been informed. Fellow Daoist Zhao Ya unfortunately passed unexpectedly, and the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine he collected was entrusted by Zhao Ya’s descendants to this Master He.”

”So it’s Master He.” Du Yueqing once again bowed politely, but then her tone shifted, ”May I ask if Master He would be willing to relinquish the pill to me? I am willing to double the value of the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine to compensate. If you find that insufficient, I am open to tripling or quadrupling it.”

Wen Jiu assessed Du Yueqing, suspecting the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill was sought not for herself.

But for whom?

Wen Jiu did not care.

Since it was directed at him, he might as well sell it.

Alas.

Forcing him to alter plans.

What misfortune.

But just as Wen Jiu was about to nod, Gongyang Fu suddenly bowed again and hastily said, ”Master, Mistress, this Master He is in very good relations with me, and we have collaborated numerous times. Moreover, his family’s current turmoil has them relying on him to make a comeback.

Although Master He is seeking refuge in Donghua Immortal City today, his Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique has both reached the Golden Core Realm, possessing great potential. With this Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill, he’s sure to progress to the Middle Golden Core Realm.”
