Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 603: Chapter 298: Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend, Lu Chan Joins

This is a hundred-year plan.

It will absolutely not change in the short term.

Following that, Wen Jiu took another look at the cultivation results of the Three Corpses. As expected, whether it was the Five Ghosts or the Three Corpses, the cultivation effect was only 1.5% of experience points. Currently, the East Spring Undying Bone has already reached 12,500 experience points. If one wants to cultivate it into an Undying Corpse Demon, it requires sixteen and a half pieces of third-tier Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine.

However, the current East Spring Undying Bone is absolutely incapable of devouring one whole; it must divide the effect by fifty percent.

"The Three Thousand Blood Inks and the enhancement of the Blood Demon Undying Bone Bloodline can also be postponed. Those fifty percent might as well be used entirely for cultivating the Five Ghosts."

Wen Jiu made another decision.

With this, the total amount of third-tier lower-grade Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine needed is thirty-six and a half pieces.

"Thirty-six and a half pieces. The amount of blood essence, demonic evil qi, and lifespan that needs to be consumed is an alarming number, and I also need to cultivate Blood Corpse Mushrooms and Five Ghosts simultaneously, which will be an astronomical number."

The thought of the astronomical resources required gave Wen Jiu a headache.

Even though there’s a direct path to the Nascent Soul laid out before him, it’s still not easy to grasp.

Fortunately, after stepping into the Golden Core stage, a lifespan of a thousand years allows everything to progress slowly. There’s no longer a need to race against time for safety and survival in chaotic times.

Wen Jiu set aside his thoughts and closed the calculation panel, cultivating the Blood Corpse Mushrooms while pondering the path of the Life Spirit Stone.

Currently, he still has some foundation, enough to cultivate four to five pieces of Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine, but it can’t last long.

If there’s still no income, a year later, his household would be emptied.

"It seems that relying solely on Fang Qian’s Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House is far from enough." Wen Jiu’s gaze fell on the Lu family.

It fell on Lu Chan.

...

A few days later.

Lu Chan left the East Pole Immortal City, moving with her disciples to the Cold Pool Mist Valley. The Golden Core Dojo was built five miles away from the Cold Pool. Lu Chan did this not to disturb Li Bai, and also because she was aware of her low cultivation, she didn’t dare to establish a dojo around the Cold Pool, fearing the erosion of the Celestial Yin Qi.

With Lu Chan came some disciples, but they were all arranged to handle the market affairs in the Fog Valley. Only Lu Xinghe could enter the core cold pool area of the Yin Vein. And Lu Xinghe’s cave mansion was built next to Feng Jue’s, obviously intending to befriend Feng Jue. This did not surprise Wen Jiu, but when Lu Xinghe saw the cave mansion in the core cold pool area of the Yin Vein, he was quite surprised.

When his master made him immediately cast a Silencing Spell, disallowing any mention of what he saw today, he was even more shocked.

Whoever was in that cave mansion, not a single bit of news about their existence could be leaked.

Because of this, when he looked at Feng Jue again, his gaze changed. And he was even more grateful to his master.

On this day, Lu Chan came to visit. Seeing the Spirit Gathering Array without concealment by the cold pond, and sensing the surging Celestial Yin Qi behind the array, her expression immediately froze.

In astonishment, she exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist uses a tier three Spirit Gathering Array to gather such a massive amount of Celestial Yin Qi. I’m afraid even General Lin, one of the Spirit Suppressing Generals, wouldn’t dare to enter or stay long. What is Fellow Daoist attempting?"

Even separated by the tier three Spirit Gathering Array, she could sense the surging Celestial Yin Qi within and grew increasingly alarmed as she observed.

In an instant, she felt that staying five miles away from the Cold Pool was the wisest choice. If this terrifying amount of Celestial Yin Qi were to burst forth, staying around the Cold Pool would render her as good as dead, if not dead outright.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone after ghost transformation to respond, "Nothing, just for cultivation."

Hearing this, Lu Chan was horrified again, swallowing hard, "Fellow Daoist indeed deserves to be called the first Top-Grade Left-Path Ghost Pill in the West Mountain Floating Domain for thousands of years, able to cultivate using Celestial Yin Qi."

"Did Fellow Daoist come today just to flatter me a couple of times?" Wen Jiu did not respond to Lu Chan’s compliment.

"Of course not, but I was truly shocked by Fellow Daoist." Lu Chan replied via transmission and then spoke directly, "I have already received orders from the family, and henceforth will reside permanently in the Cold Pool Mist Valley, responsible for all Lu family affairs within the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. If Fellow Daoist requires anything, feel free to send a transmission. As long as it’s within my power, I will ensure to get it for Fellow Daoist."

With these words, Lu Chan’s purpose for the visit was very clear.

Wen Jiu did not refuse, but neither did he immediately begin to demand, for after all, Lu Chan owed him nothing at the moment.

"Fellow Daoist Lu has a keen understanding."

However, unexpectedly, the likewise cultivated Lu Chan suddenly saluted the East Spring Undying Bone respectfully, "If Fellow Daoist forms a top-grade Ghost Pill, even beings as exalted as the Domain Lord would strive to win over Fellow Daoist, so serving Fellow Daoist is my blessing. To put it bluntly, if I don’t act today, in the future, when Fellow Daoist steps into the Middle Stage of Golden Core or Late Stage of Golden Core, I, an insignificant low-rank Golden Core with no potential, might not even be qualified to meet Fellow Daoist."

The latter part of Lu Chan’s words was very candid. But they were indeed reasonable. Honestly, Wen Jiu liked such individuals.

"Indeed, a smart person." Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to nod in satisfaction.

Since Lu Chan was smart, it would save him much effort and trouble.

Otherwise, after the Five Ghosts Transformation Pill, he considered booking Lu Chan’s soul for future cultivation resources. However, to ensure reliability, Wen Jiu would still proceed with that, ensuring absolute trust.

Five Ghosts Soul Control does not control the soul directly but influences subtly to not allow any thoughts of disloyalty to him, ensuring utmost loyalty. If Wen Jiu wished, he could lift it at any time.

Thus, Wen Jiu had no psychological burden in controlling another’s soul, and as for whether it was fair to Lu Chan.

To be honest, Wen Jiu didn’t care, nor did he need to. Neither Fang Qian nor Lu Chan could be what they are without him; Fang Qian might forever only reach the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment at most without him while Lu Chan might be stuck at the Early Stage of Golden Core for life.

Neither of them was a Qi Fortune Taker, unable to reverse their fate like Feng Jue.

"Willing to serve Fellow Daoist."

Lu Chan saluted again.

This time, however, she bent at the waist.

Wen Jiu nodded slightly and then waved his hand.

"Go, if there is anything, I will send a transmission to you."

When the words fell.

Lu Chan slowly left.

...

After returning to her cave mansion, Lu Chan called Lu Xinghe to her side, speaking earnestly, "I assume you have seen the cave mansion in the depths of the Yin Vein. You have already established a good relationship with Han Li, so there is no need to deliberately do more. As for Feng Jue, getting closer to him will only be beneficial for your future."

Li Bai’s disciple, Han Li, a prodigy, reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment at only fifty. Although Feng Jue is older, being brought into the Yin Vein by Li Bai clearly indicates he is not simple.

In the future, when Li Bai soars to great heights, Feng Jue will certainly benefit too. Most importantly, being kept by Li Bai’s side means he is undoubtedly a trusted confidant. Not forging a relationship now may result in Lu Xinghe being left out in the future, just like her.

Lu Xinghe nodded in understanding, "Rest assured, Master, your disciple will remember."

"There’s no need to frequently associate with people from the Lu family, but with Han Li and Feng Jue, you must be close. Occasionally send over some items, but don’t make them too costly, just some special things that can’t be bought on regular days. If there’s a chance to provide timely help, don’t miss it." Lu Chan reiterated.

Lu Xinghe nodded, but was greatly shocked internally, for his master had never seriously explained such things before. If not for knowing that his master had already formed a True Pill, he would have thought that his master’s days were numbered.

Knowing his master still had many years ahead yet was still saying this truly shocked him.

Busy to engrave Lu Chan’s words in his memory, after leaving her cave mansion, he headed straight for Feng Jue’s cave mansion.

This arguably made Feng Jue a bit hand-tied temporarily, but Han Tianxing did not mind at all.

If it were him.

He would do the same.

That is why he frequently instructs Feng Jue to visit Han Li.
