Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 591: Chapter 294: Lu Chan’s Core Formation at the Cold Pool Mist Valley

After leaving the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House, Wen Jiu returned to Lu Xinghe’s courtyard. In the following month, he found rare leisure, seldom cultivating and often wandering around East Pole Immortal City every few days.

Because of the relationship between Lu Chan and Lu Xinghe, many in the Lu Family learned of Han Li’s existence, speculating whether Han Li was Lu Chan’s new disciple, with many inclined to befriend and attach themselves to him.

But Wen Jiu didn’t meet anyone. Whenever Lu Xinghe spoke up, Wen Jiu would find an excuse to go into seclusion.

Even so, there were still many who wanted to meet and invite him, but Wen Jiu didn’t care. Whenever he was free, he would go out for a stroll. He often stayed with his sister Wen Ya, experiencing a bit of familial warmth.

During this time, the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House of Fang Qian also successfully opened for business. Lu Xinghe went over to show support in the name of a master. Although it didn’t cause much of a stir, the first Treasure Tower of the Trading House still experienced brisk business. Of course, those who came were mostly Qi Refining cultivators or Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Qi Refining cultivators were the majority, because both in East Pole Immortal City and elsewhere, they felt the most insecure. Now that there was such a trading house, those Qi Refining cultivators would come out of curiosity.

But it still stands that to do grand business, one needs a Golden Core cultivator to oversee and attract more high-tier loose cultivators to join.

As for the situation in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, Wen Jiu was always observing, often divining with the Corpse Fate Technique. As expected, not long after he left, Lin Zhuo and a healed Bao Tiangai made their comeback.

Bao Tiangai, the entire old party, and Lin Zhuo attacked Celestial Sword Peak at the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, resulting in the deaths of the Sect Leaders of the Jue Ying Sect and the Hidden Kill Sect. Besides this, there was some movement from the Spirit Suppressing Army surrounding East Pole Immortal City.

While wandering around East Pole Immortal City, he heard many loose cultivators mentioning the sudden mobilization of the Spirit Suppressing Army and the Celestial River Guard.

The destination was the western border of the West Mountain Floating Domain, but no one knew what was there, though Wen Jiu did. To this, Wen Jiu occasionally inquired, just watching the drama. As for the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect, and what lay at the end of the East Spring River in the Celestial Extinction Ruins, Wen Jiu didn’t give it any thought.

His goal was already set; unless there was a certainty of great fortune, it was impossible to return to the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

It was on this morning that Lu Chan quietly came to Lu Xinghe’s courtyard and used Divine Sense to communicate, "Han, please notify your master that the agreed month’s period ends tomorrow."

Wen Jiu responded directly, "Predecessor Lu Chan, my master has already instructed a few days ago, you go first and he will follow."

"Many thanks!"

Lu Chan was delighted and remained silent thereafter.

Under Wen Jiu’s Divine Sense, Lu Chan quietly left the Lu Clan Territory, altered her appearance and aura, and left the city alone. Very low-key and cautious, no one from the Lu Family followed.

Wen Jiu immediately controlled the Formless Demon Corpse and the East Spring Undying Bone to follow, ensuring absolute safety for Lu Chan’s Core Formation.

The journey to Celestial Wave Immortal City was smooth and uneventful, and Lu Chan’s caution was beyond Wen Jiu’s expectations. Traveling by day and flying only at night minimized the chances of encountering cultivators above the Foundation Establishment level.

However, it was understandable; this was her last chance, success meant becoming an immortal or dying. Extreme caution was inevitable.

Wen Jiu liked this kind of person very much.

Not a martial artist.

Without a few more shrewd moves, one would die unceremoniously.

Ten days later.

Celestial Wave Immortal City was within sight.

Though not a city controlled by the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, the Celestial Wave Immortal City was still one of the top ten large-scale immortal cities in the West Mountain Floating Domain, hosting nearly twenty million cultivators.

And nearly seventy percent were loose cultivators.

The so-called neutral immortal city is actually an independent practitioner immortal city, not belonging to the Domain Lord’s Mansion or any major force.

The East Spring Undying Bone swept with Divine Sense, finding the strongest cultivators to be at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, though there were four of them. Beneath the city, there were two converging spiritual veins and dark veins, both Tier Three in quality, extremely high in quality, and much larger than the Tier Three Spiritual Veins of East Pole Immortal City.

The two veins ran from east to west, spanning a thousand miles, resembling a giant dragon lying beneath Celestial Wave Immortal City.

The most valuable thing was that both were like this.

If not for too many eyes watching.

And the need for Celestial Yin Qi.

Wen Jiu would indeed want to cultivate in this Celestial Wave Immortal City, considering the quality of the dark vein was remarkably high.

At the city gates, Lu Chan was pondering how to find the person she needed to when she received a Divine Sense communication, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please go and prepare, on the day of Core Formation, Li Mou will be by your side to guard you."

Lu Chan was delighted, but she quickly restrained her smile and entered the city briskly. Once inside, she headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion of Celestial Wave Immortal City. After stating her purpose, it wasn’t long before an Early-stage Golden Core cultivator led Lu Chan toward the west of the city.

The west city held the dark vein, while the east city had the spiritual vein. Lu Chan’s Core Formation site was at the very center of the west city, the core region of the Tier Three Yin Vein. Unlike ordinary Tier Three Yin Veins, if someone formed a Golden Core with them, it would take twenty to thirty years for the Yin Vein to restore itself for another Core Formation. However, the massive Tier Three Spiritual Vein of Celestial Wave Immortal City could recover even if someone succeeded in Core Formation within two to three years.

So, every three years, many people came to Celestial Wave Immortal City for Core Formation, with thirty people in the same batch as Lu Chan this time.

Even so, each time, it was rare for anyone to succeed.

Even false cores were like this.

Still, people continued to strive for it, willing to spend their entire life’s savings for a shot, because once becoming a Golden Core, they would gain a thousand-year-long lifespan. If they didn’t become a Golden Core, no matter how strong, in two hundred years, they would become nothing but dust.
