Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 607: Chapter 300: Playing Along, Deep within Tianyin

At this thought, Lu Feng quickly spoke, "Earlier, Lu Chan pleaded for you many times, even at the risk of arguing with me, her elder. Fine, fine, you may stay here to cultivate as if I saw nothing on this trip."

Lu Chan couldn’t help but feel delighted at these words, and hurriedly followed Lu Feng’s lead, "Thank you, Elder!"

"You can stay, but you must conceal your whereabouts well," Lu Feng stared at the Formless Demon Corpse, solemnly reminding, "If you need anything, feel free to ask Lu Chan. Since you have helped our Lu Family to achieve the Golden Core, you have done us a favor. If she cannot repay it, I, the old man, will repay it on her behalf, and you will not be wronged."

Lu Feng’s words were full of grand gestures.

If it weren’t for the Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone easily penetrating his Sound Insulation Shield, he would have almost believed it.

Wen Jiu couldn’t be bothered to expose him, controlling the Formless Demon Corpse to express gratitude with a bow, casually making a couple of promises to ease his mind. Lu Feng’s demeanor remained as grand as ever, even repeatedly praising the Formless Demon Corpse for its protective actions.

As for the condition of staying, Lu Feng did not mention a word, but Wen Jiu knew that such an old fox couldn’t possibly say nothing at all.

It was just not mentioned today.

That suited his intentions perfectly.

After sending off Lu Feng, Wen Jiu continued to cultivate the Blood Corpse Mushroom, as if nothing had happened earlier.

...

In the following days, Lu Feng did not come again.

However, he had Lu Chan send over some things on the pretext of expressing gratitude on behalf of Lu Chan for the favor of protecting the path.

The intention was obvious.

But Wen Jiu didn’t care, he gladly accepted everything. The things from the He Family would not accumulate bad karma or cause-and-effect, so he would not refuse no matter how much came.

At the same time, Wen Jiu also started gathering and calculating information regarding the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. After much deliberation, he set his sights fifteen thousand miles into the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, where it borders the northern demon tribe gathering area of the West Mountain Floating Domain.

The plan was still to proceed according to the original plan, to depart immediately once East Spring Undying Bone advanced in its realm.

Crossing the Tribulation and after Core Formation, he would use the Escape Technique to leave at the first opportunity.

The only unexpected element in this plan was the demon tribe in the depths of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. During Wen Jiu’s information-gathering efforts, he received news of a disturbance among the demon tribe at the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, where Golden Core Great Demons roamed rampant. Although they did not leave the core area, it indeed posed some trouble for Wen Jiu’s plan.

Change the Core Formation Land?

Change the plan?

Wen Jiu planned to do neither. Firstly, without entering the depths of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, it was impossible to achieve the utmost discretion for Core Formation, let alone disappear completely in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range before other Golden Core Zhenren arrived.

Secondly, within the West Mountain Floating Domain, he could only choose the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, as it was the only place with such a range underground. If he wanted to change, he would have to leave the West Mountain Floating Domain and head to the two adjacent Floating Domains.

The situations in the Golan Floating Domain and the Wuling Floating Domain were unclear, and they seemed to have more serious conflicts with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

Rashly going there would require a period of familiarization, and unless there was a life-threatening danger in the West Mountain Floating Domain, doing so would not be worth the effort.

On this day, Lu Chan brought Wen Jiu some information about the deep region of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

"Fellow Daoist Li, regarding the reason for the disturbance in the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range that I mentioned last time, I have found out some reasons," Lu Chan said.

"What reason?"

"It’s related to Elder Chi Mu of the Qi Guang Sect, as well as the situation in the western part of the West Mountain Floating Domain. Currently, there are three forces with late-stage Golden Core power in the western West Mountain Floating Domain: the Qi Guang Sect closest to the Traceless Mountain Range, the Longteng Family that occupies the number one Yaoguang Immortal City among the ten immortal cities, and Lin Jiang’s Spirit Suppressing Army."

"Go on."

"Lin Jiang’s Spirit Suppressing Army certainly has no time to manage the Qi Guang Sect’s territory, as Lin Jiang has already gone to the Divine Fall Mountain Range. So the Longteng Family covets the Qi Guang Sect’s territory. Seeing that the Elder’s lifespan is nearing its end and his Divine Soul is withering, to continue the Qi Guang Sect’s path, he has gone into the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. It seems he intends to seize the newborn cub of a late-stage Golden Core Great Demon in the area. Upon receiving this news, the Longteng Family immediately reported it to the Celestial Yin Mountain Range."

"Where did the information come from?" Wen Jiu inquired.

Lu Chan communicated via transmission, "The information came from within the Qi Guang Sect, as well as from the Spirit Suppressing Army."

Wen Jiu asked once more, not in a hurry to predict, but rather wanting to hear how the outside world conveyed this information, "Can merely seizing a cub protect a Qi Guang Sect without a late-stage Golden Core master?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you may not know, that the Elder of the Qi Guang Sect is not only one of the few late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivators in the western West Mountain Floating Domain, but also the only Tier Three Top Grade Demon Tamer. Fifty years ago, this elder of the Qi Guang Sect also had a demon servant that was a Tier Three Superior Great Demon. Unfortunately, when he went to the Lifeless Abyss, he was attacked by Demon Cultivators, lost the demon servant, and was left with only seventy or eighty years of his two hundred plus years of lifespan."

"So he wants to get a cub, to raise another Tier Three Superior Great Demon?"

"Indeed, it’s quite astonishing. Even if the bloodline of the Great Demon in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range is exceptional, it might take two or three decades to raise a Tier Three Superior Great Demon, perhaps exhausting all of the Qi Guang Sect’s resources. Demons are not like vegetation; they do not grow just because you water them. Cultivating a demon is much harder than cultivating oneself, which is why there is only one Tier Three Superior Demon Tamer in the western West Mountain Floating Domain. However, regardless of how unbelievable it is, the Longteng Family would not allow that Elder of the Qi Guang Sect to succeed, which is why this is happening."

"I see."

After sending off Lu Chan, Wen Jiu immediately used the Corpse Fate Technique to predict, directly applying it to that Qi Guang Sect’s Elder, Lin Yingyun Mountain. Unsurprisingly, there was a celestial secret magical artifact obscuring the celestial secrets.

Though unable to predict too much, with the current abilities of the Three Thousand Blood Inks, predicting his location was still easy.

Celestial Yin Earth Pool?

"What is this place?"

Wen Jiu immediately went on to predict this Celestial Yin Earth Pool, and the result made Wen Jiu’s eyes light up.

Innate Forbidden Land.

The Celestial Yin Qi that has settled for ten thousand years forms an Earth Pool, located thirty thousand feet below the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. After exhausting the corpse energy of the Three Thousand Blood Inks, Wen Jiu obtained the celestial secret information of the Celestial Yin Land destiny.

[Celestial Yin Earth Pool]

[Acquired Death Land, formed by Celestial Yin Qi settling for ten thousand years, nurtured by the Heaven-Reaching River Water for a thousand years. The Yin Qi condenses into a liquid, thick and mucky. Living beings that touch it see their spirits extinguished and souls perish. Dead creatures contaminated by it have their bodies broken and spirits destroyed.]

"So perilous, and yet the Elder Lin Yingyun Mountain of the Qi Guang Sect still dares to approach; it seems he is no small fortune. Now it seems the rumors of him going for the Demon Beast cub might be entirely false."

Wen Jiu was speechless.

Truth or falsehood actually didn’t matter to him.

What mattered was that this false news ended up causing him some trouble, but fortunately, East Spring Undying Bone still needed at least half a year, perhaps even a year to break through.

It purely depended on the progress of cultivating the Blood Corpse Mushroom.

Currently, the high-tier Blood Corpse Mushrooms that the He Family could release had been fully collected by Lu Chan, so for now, he could only rely on himself for cultivation. However, the Tribulation Cultivators around the Cold Pool Mist Valley were becoming fewer, and the lifespan accumulated by the Blood Demon Undying Bone was also dwindling, naturally slowing the progress of cultivating the East Spring Undying Bone.

"The Celestial Yin Mountain Range is unsettled; I might as well take it slow," Wen Jiu decided, yet his mind still lingered on Lin Yingyun Mountain. After multiple failed predictions, Wen Jiu could only give up.

In the end, it’s all the fault of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. If it weren’t for them having some fate techniques, how could these Golden Core Cultivators have crafted so many celestial secret magical artifacts?

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

The western West Mountain Floating Domain remained generally calm, with only occasional news coming from the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

On this day, Lu Feng came again.

People don’t come to the treasure hall without a reason.

Wen Jiu understood that Lu Feng must have a reason this time.

As expected, this time he must be here to ask for something.
