Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 611: Chapter 302: Celestial Yin Qi Absorption and Yin Five Elements Earth Palace

But the trouble is, the Qi Family actually sold a lot of properties within the Tier Three Yin Vein to the Longteng Family.

This is akin to destroying their own foundation.

It’s also equivalent to inviting a wolf into their home.

The Lu Family is aware of this but is helpless, unable to imitate it, because the Lu Family Ancestor is still present.

Whereas the Qi Family Ancestor has passed away.

The Qi Family has no choice but to do so.

But the Lu Family is different.

Therefore, many Tier Three Yin Veins of the Qi Family have Golden Core cultivators from the Longteng Family appearing. In such situations, Lu Family members can only retreat obediently, not daring to cause conflict.

Helplessly, Lu Feng secretly called all Golden Core cultivators back to East Pole Immortal City to discuss a solution.

"Is the Qi Family mad? Acting like this, inviting a wolf into the house. If we cease the war, they can only be eaten away step by step by the Longteng Family." The Sixth Elder of the Lu Family, Lu Zhang, pounded the table in rage.

The Seventh Elder, Lu Shouren, sat silently on the side, saying in a deep voice, "Cease the war? The Qi Family’s current purpose is to turn defeat into victory, it’s impossible for them to stop the war. The current plan might require the Ancestor to take action personally."

The Great Elder Lu Taixuan stroked his beard and silently responded, "Impossible, we still don’t know the Longteng Family’s attitude. Rashly having the Ancestor intervene, if the Longteng Family uses tricks, our Lu Family cannot bear such losses."

"Then we can only look for the Qi Guang Sect."

"No way. Not to mention the current situation of the Qi Guang Sect, involving them would be akin to inviting a wolf in. The Ancestor spent two to three hundred years getting rid of the Qi Guang Sect’s influence. If we involve them now, we’ll only push the Lu Family into another abyss. When the Qi Guang Sect drinks our blood, they’ll disregard the grandmother."

Listening to the constant debates below, Lu Feng closed his eyes and did not speak, as he was contemplating whether to ask his wife to approach the Qi Guang Sect. The Longteng Family, although not openly involved, had already sneak-attacked him and had clearly sided with the Qi Family.

With the Qi Family acting like this, it is certain they’ll face annihilation, but he fears that before they are annihilated, the Lu Family might follow in their footsteps.

It’s a pity.

Unfortunately, the Qi Guang Sect Ancestor, Lin Yingyun Mountain, is currently unable to protect himself and his whereabouts are unknown.

If he were willing to speak, the Longteng Family surely would not dare to act this way, at least not openly.

"Wait, where’s Lu Chan?"

Lu Family’s Third Elder, Lu Hongying, suddenly spoke, then looked displeased at Lu Shouren, "Shouren, we’re all here, why is your disciple so late? Doesn’t she know that today concerns the future of our Lu Family?"

Lu Shouren quickly explained, "I’ve already sent a sound transmission, she should be arriving soon."

"Are you sure? Why do I hear that your disciple isn’t in the Cold Pond Mist Valley, and the people you sent to search for her were refused entry, unable to even enter the core area, being stopped outside like a loose cultivator?" Lu Hongying chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Lu Shouren.

Lu Shouren replied without haste, "Lu Chan is now the Lu Family’s Eighth Elder, equal to us, so of course her domain cannot be entered casually, nor can her whereabouts be easily disclosed."

"Shouren, stop deceiving yourself, the master-disciple relationship between you two has long been nominal. Today they can’t even enter her domain, tomorrow you’ll have to visit in person just to see her." Lu Hongying laughed again.

Lu Shouren remained silent.

He closed his eyes, as if out of sight, out of mind. Whether he had any thoughts in his mind unspoken is unknown.

The Great Elder Lu Taixuan also spoke at this moment, "What’s Lu Chan doing these days? Not guarding the Cold Pond Mist Valley and running outside all day. The Cold Pond Mist Valley is right next to the Qi Family’s Tier Three Yin Vein, controlling five-tenths of our Lu Family’s Demon Beast supply. The Ancestor entrusted her to manage it, and if something happens, then what?"

"Indeed, if something happens, and we want to reclaim the Cold Pond Mist Valley, it would be difficult. The valley is quite distant from us, and if anything happens, we won’t be able to aid quickly. Yet she isn’t guarding it and is running around, isn’t this a bit too much?"

The Sixth Elder of the Lu Family glanced at Lu Hongying and suddenly stood up, speaking indignantly, condemning Lu Chan’s actions.

Lu Hongying smiled at the corners of her mouth and spoke again, "I don’t wish to say much, and I’m pleased that our Lu Family gained a new Golden Core cultivator. But as a Golden Core Elder, one must prioritize the Lu Family. Everyone here is working tirelessly for the family, spreading themselves thin. I don’t expect a newly entered Golden Core girl to match us, but she shouldn’t hold us back."

The words ended.

Lu Hongying looked at Lu Shouren.

Lu Shouren still remained silent, seemingly consenting to all this occurrence. In Lu Shouren’s eyes, Lu Chan indeed was being excessive.

Now, at this time, not guarding the Cold Pond Mist Valley and having unknown whereabouts truly is somewhat ignorant.

He coincidentally also wanted to use the opportunity to subtly criticize Lu Chan.

To remind her not to forget her identity, and not to forget that she reached today wholly because of his cultivation.

Just at this moment, as the situation was growing increasingly intense, Lu Feng angrily raised his hand, interrupting everyone’s words, "Rather than waste time arguing, why not spend some thought on how to address the current situation!"

The words fell.

Everyone was speechless.

...

Ten days later.

Lu Chan quietly returned to the Cold Pond Mist Valley, arriving at the entrance of Wen Jiu’s Cave Mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have obtained the Heaven-Reaching Floating Wood. It’s a millennium-old, formed from Moonlight Ghost Wood, and it will surely benefit Fellow Daoist’s cultivation greatly."

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and came out, carefully examining the black Heaven-Reaching Floating Wood preserved by talisman seals, its moonlight faintly shimmering like streaming light. The wood itself was filled with the aura of Heaven-Reaching River Water and ghostly qi; most importantly, when it appeared, the celestial yin qi in the Spirit Gathering Array seemed to be summoned as if they had grown eyes, surging towards the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Floating Wood. Without the array, they would probably rush over like waves.

"Thoughtful." Lu Chan sought not only the Heaven-Reaching Floating Wood but one that is highly suited to the Heterodox Dao.

It shows her dedication.

Lu Chan did not show joy at the praise but calmly said, "It is my fortune to serve Fellow Daoist."

"Go attend to your own matters," Wen Jiu spoke again, "I will be secluded for a few days, do not disturb me no matter what."

"Understood."

Lu Chan raised her hand to leave.

After departing from Wen Jiu’s Cave Mansion, Lu Chan took out the Sound Transmission Talisman, carefully listening to the various transmissions from the Lu Family. Upon hearing about Lu Hongying and others their recent constant criticisms of her while Lu Shouren remained indifferent, Lu Chan was momentarily silent. She anticipated that their relationship would change as she entered the Golden Core stage. However, she didn’t expect that he would not even defend her anymore.

Yet, Lu Chan did not dwell on this matter but rather contemplated which of these critics is the traitor.

Who revealed her movements?

Meanwhile, after Lu Chan left, Wen Jiu began to pack up, preparing to enter the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. Three Thousand Blood Inks remained in the cave mansion while the other two corpses followed Wen Jiu into the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

The purpose of leaving Three Thousand Blood Inks behind in the cave mansion is solely to maintain abundant corpse qi, ready to use the Corpse Fate Technique at any moment.

He found the Yin Five Elements Earth Palace yesterday, though luck was slightly unfavored as it was located near the Celestial Yin Earth Pool, just a mere hundred miles away.

The Core Formation Land is only a hundred miles from that Qi Guang Sect ancestor. The momentum of Core Formation will likely attract attention immediately. As for using the five ghosts to draw away this Qi Guang Sect ancestor during tribulation crossing, Wen Jiu finds it unlikely. At this moment, anything would not supersede the importance of his own matters.

"Indeed, letting the East Spring Undying Bone step into the Tier Three Middle Realm first was a wise choice."

With the East Spring Undying Bone present.

Wen Jiu indeed isn’t worried about any possible happenings.

The East Spring Undying Bone at the Tier Three Lower Realm defeated Zang Qianjian, while in the Middle Realm, dealing with a late-stage Golden Core with little longevity definitely poses no problem.
