Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 790: Chapter 379: Reunion with Gongyang Fu, Wuxinming Calls

”Master He.”

Gongyang Fu, with a cheerful smile, hurriedly came out of the mansion to greet Wen Jiu.

Looking across the entire Donghua Immortal City, being treated like this by Gongyang Fu was something that absolutely couldn’t extend beyond a mere handful of people.

Wen Jiu didn’t hide his own cultivation, revealing a Middle Stage of Golden Core aura. Upon sensing this, Gongyang Fu’s smile froze for a few moments, then he very warmly and enthusiastically welcomed Wen Jiu inside, ”I knew that with Master He having the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, reaching the Middle Stage of Golden Core would be a piece of cake.”

Gongyang Fu seemed to be congratulating him, but still mentioned the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, clearly indicating a reminder to Wen Jiu.

After all, that Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill was originally preserved thanks to Gongyang Fu’s help.

Wen Jiu naturally understood Gongyang Fu’s implication, raised his hand in gratitude, and said, ”For me to have today, I owe it to Fellow Daoist Gongyang.”

”No need to be polite, we’re all on the same side; who would I help if not you?” Gongyang Fu, seeing that Wen Jiu hadn’t forgotten, was even more satisfied.

Immediately, Gongyang Fu instructed the old steward to prepare food and drinks, specifically telling him to bring out the top-grade Spirit Wine buried under the Spirit Vein.

Wen Jiu did not stand on ceremony and followed him inside.

Once inside the courtyard, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but glance at the giant Toad Medicine Spirit Yin Pill lying in the murky pool.

During this time, after consuming the Corpse Concealing Elixir he had cultivated, its aura had become completely different from when they first met.

One can’t help but wonder why Gongyang Fu was nurturing it?

But whatever the reason, Wen Jiu didn’t want to delve too deeply. The more important this giant Toad Medicine Spirit Yin Pill was to Gongyang Fu, the better.

After sitting down in the pavilion, Wen Jiu got straight to the point.

”Fellow Daoist Gongyang, why is Donghua Immortal City recently abuzz with rumors and gossip?”

Gongyang Fu’s smile diminished significantly, ”If I were to say nothing’s happened, you wouldn’t believe it. Indeed, there are some unpleasant affairs. But rest assured, the East Splendor Divine Palace is backed by the Nascent Soul Level major power Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, plus we have my master and Senior Aunt Du Yueqing in Donghua Immortal City. No matter how rampantly the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect acts, they dare not cause trouble.”

Du Yueqing.

The Female Cultivator who almost ”snatched” his Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill when asking Master Witch to refine pills.

Her master was Duan Qianren, the Golden Core Perfection Cultivator from Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion.

And Master Witch was Du Yueqing’s third senior brother.

Both were from Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, not just members of the affiliated power, East Splendor Divine Palace.

Wen Jiu understood the meaning behind Gongyang Fu’s words, smiling and nodding in agreement.

To be honest, whether it was Master Witch or Du Yueqing, Wen Jiu didn’t particularly like either of them.

Although they hadn’t taken away the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill that rightfully belonged to him at that time, it was ultimately Gongyang Fu who stepped up to achieve that outcome.

Even though Gongyang Fu did so for himself and to ally with him, he always stood out at crucial moments.

If it weren’t for Gongyang Fu, Wen Jiu would have nearly harbored murderous intent.

As he reminisced, Gongyang Fu’s smile waned further, and he said in a low voice, ”Although Donghua Immortal City is not in any danger, the regions of the Four Domains, including the West Mountain Floating Domain, are becoming increasingly chaotic, with a worrying future.”

”What happened?” Wen Jiu asked deliberately.

Gongyang Fu sighed, ”I can’t say much. They say the entire Demon Dao under the Four Domains has mobilized. My master says, the Demon Dao isn’t just targeting the Four Domains, they also plan not to spare the forces under Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion.

They not only blocked all exits from the regions of the Four Domains, prohibiting any cultivator from entering or exiting, but even disallowed any of Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion’s cultivators or affliated from entering the regions of the Four Domains. Truly a group of madmen! Even though Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion and the Upper Demon Sect have a pact, remaining amicable without conflict for thousands of years, they dare defy the Upper Sect and make things difficult for us.

Yet, with my master and my elder aunt here, Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion has certainly been made aware of the situation here. When the time comes for us to really need to leave or enter, I do not believe that the Demon Dao dares or can stop us. As for the Demon Dao, it’s only those few Perfect Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. Though strong, they are ultimately just demon pills; no matter what, they wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Golden Core Perfection Cultivators from Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion... but as for the future of the Four Domains, it is indeed becoming grim.”

Wen Jiu quietly listened from the side without overly pretending to be uncomfortable. If a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator can’t hide this much emotion, it would be rather disingenuous, so Wen Jiu simply remained calm and silent.

After a moment of silence, he asked, ”Fellow Daoist Gongyang, does the region of the Four Domains not have the protection of Nascent Soul major influence?”

”How could it, among the six major Nascent Soul level influences in the floating domains of the Lower Heaven-Reaching River, not a single one looks favorably upon the region of the Four Domains, which doesn’t even have a true Tier Four Spiritual Vein at the downstream end. Only we with Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion like to place our dependents across various floating domains, doing small businesses.”

Six.

Wen Jiu noted these two words.

In the floating domains of the Lower Heaven-Reaching River, there were only six Nascent Soul major influences, honestly, somewhat surprising.

Why are there so few?

”So why does the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect have one?”

Gongyang Fu seemed surprised, ”How do you know?”

Wen Jiu replied, ”Since the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect dares to target even the affiliated forces of Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, they must have some backing.”

”Just as you thought, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect has the protection of an Upper Demon Sect behind them. As for the reason, it’s unknown. But for whatever reason, the regions of the Four Domains being occupied by the Demon Dao is ultimately just a matter of time.”

Gongyang Fu firmly added, ”In as short as ten to eight years, or at most thirty to fifty years.”

”This...”
