Chapter 504: Chapter 258: Loose Cultivator Identity Acquired, Core Formation Quota Secured
Inside the cave mansion on the mountain cliff.
"You, you, you, obediently come out, present yourself properly, and if you serve this old man well, you won’t need the corpse nurturing."
The black-faced elder cultivator walked over to the cage with annoyance, lifting his hand to unlock three iron cages, one of which contained an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, she had already been sealed with corpse techniques, leaving what was once powerful abilities reduced by ninety percent.
Compared to the other female cultivators’ gaze, this early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator still had a subtle sharpness in her eyes.
There was refusal, and there was determination.
But this determination was mostly wiped away by the heart-devouring pain the black-faced corpse cultivator inflicted with a wave of his hand using corpse techniques.
"In the Hundred Floating Domains, the weak are prey to the strong. As a weakling, you should accept your fate. For me, resistance only adds a bit of amusement." The black-faced elder cultivator spoke coldly, looking down with indifference.
"Ten breaths."
"If you don’t come, then you need not ever come again."
The black-faced elder cultivator reminded once more.
Apart from that early-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator, the other two could only obediently crawl over, even with their tears swirling in their eyes, they didn’t dare to make a sound, let alone shed tears that might upset the elder cultivator.
Because for them, these Qi Refining Cultivators, a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator was as unreachable as the sky, an irrefutable force.
"Five breaths left."
The black-faced elder cultivator grinned maliciously, his gaze still indifferent towards the Foundation Establishment female cultivator, as if playing with a toy. The Foundation Establishment female cultivator trembled all over, crawling with difficulty, her eyes filled with resentment that could only transform into despair.
As the Foundation Establishment female cultivator moved, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on the black-faced elder’s face, "I’m giving you a chance, don’t be ungrateful. To put it bluntly, even if I let you go back, your family would offer you up willingly again, tenfold or a hundredfold as much.
Because if I were displeased, I could exterminate your entire family, even your ancestors would have to kneel in front of me and admit their mistakes."
These words of fondness made the female cultivators in the cage even more desperate, compelling the Foundation Establishment female cultivator to crawl forward obediently.
Suddenly.
A corpse hand pressed on the black-faced elder cultivator’s head with lightning speed, giving him no time to notice or react, followed by a cold voice, "A mere Foundation Establishment Perfection, uncertain whether you can even form a false core in this life, unsure if you’ll survive tomorrow, and yet you dare to look down on others."
The pride and indifference in the black-faced elder’s eyes vanished instantly, replaced by fear. The numerous yin arrays he arranged were useless, how strong must the attacker be?
False core?
No.
Absolutely a True Pill Zhenren!
"Forgive..." His words were cut short as East Spring Undying Bone had already acted, directly crushing his head.
Bang—
Blood sprayed out, splashing around the cave mansion, landing in front of the female cultivators, even on their faces, causing the despair in their eyes to gradually transform from fear, surprise, to delight, finally crying tears of joy.
Yet more than that, they couldn’t believe it.
Did they offend someone?
Is this a dream?
Wen Jiu didn’t bother with those Female Cultivators, controlling East Spring Undying Bone to seize his soul, then confirming that the West Mountain Order was in hand, opening the iron cage with a wave. As for their lives or deaths, Wen Jiu didn’t care.
This black-faced elder was indeed vicious, but what he said was reality.
At least for weak forces or loose cultivators, it was reality, only disciples of great sects could be spared.
Being rescued once today was already a great fortune, whether they live or die afterwards is still uncertain.
Thus, as he collected the spoils in the cave, and the ownerless arrays outside, the female cultivators gradually sobering up to reality hurriedly tidied their clothes and knelt one by one behind East Spring Undying Bone.
"Thank you, Senior, for your life-saving grace."
"Thank you, Senior, for your life-saving grace. My name is Yang Xue, and I’m willing to serve by Senior’s side from now on, repay Senior’s grace like a horse or an ox."
"Junior Yan Xiao, also willing to serve the Senior."
They all vied with one another.
Not just wanting to repay the favor, but also trying to seize this chance to change their fate.
Wen Jiu didn’t respond, instead he glanced more at the Foundation Establishment female cultivator, using corpse energy to remove the corpse techniques on her body.
However, Wen Jiu did not take her as a maid or have any other intentions, because her foundation was ruined, her meridians eroded by corpse energy, even if restored to Foundation Establishment cultivation with his aid, her life was essentially destroyed.
The reason for helping her wasn’t kindness, but to indirectly remind himself, these women were used like cattle for their looks and figures. So if someone like him, with Golden Core Undying Bone, Yinzhou Heterodox Record, and great opportunities, were discovered by a Great Cultivator, he would undoubtedly face a fate worse than theirs.
"There is no need to repay the favor, whether you survive or not depends entirely on yourselves."
Finished speaking.
Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to leave immediately.
Even long after East Spring Undying Bone had left, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator still looked at the departing figure of East Spring Undying Bone.
Unable to calm down for a long time.
East Spring Undying Bone’s figure left a deep imprint in her heart, something she would remember for the rest of her life.
...
The next day.
Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to take in another, creating a new identity for Three Thousand Blood Inks and Blood Demon Undying Bone at the same time. After seizing their souls, Wen Jiu placed their bodies into the Corpse Nurturing Coffin, continually nourishing them with corpse energy to maintain vitality, ensuring the West Mountain Order wouldn’t become ownerless; integrating their souls with their remnant souls, so even a Golden Core cultivator would be hard-pressed to tell the truth from the false identity of the two corpses.
Having resolved their identity, Wen Jiu made East Spring Undying Bone head straight for East Pole Immortal City, without seeking out Three Karmic Demon or the others.
