Chapter 385: Chapter 203: The Crucial Item for Heterodox Golden Core, Corpse Fate Technique at Minor Achievement [Second Update]

Golden Core Technique.

Feng Jue lacks nothing in this regard.

Tier Three Yin Pill.

Even if there are some in the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, over the years, the medicinal properties are likely to have mostly diminished.

That leaves only one possibility: there might be a special object in the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion as Feng Jue mentioned.

With this doubt in mind, Wen Jiu decided to speak, "Brother Feng, the Tier Three Celestial Yin Pill is too far away from both of us. The path of immortality is long, and anything unexpected can happen. Who can guarantee they will achieve the Heterodox Golden Core?"

"Then what does Brother Han want?" Feng Jue asked tentatively, adding a reminder, "If Brother Han wants something like a Golden Core Secret Technique, please forgive me; I am unable to comply. Secret techniques are not lightly imparted, and I am not in a position to do so."

Wen Jiu shook his head, "I don’t want those things. I just want to know some information about the special object related to the Heterodox Golden Core."

The Corpse Technique and spells he mastered were already sufficient. Many spells hadn’t even been practiced due to lack of time, requiring another day to focus on them. Asking for any more secret techniques would not only be useless but would delay his cultivation progress.

So it was better to seek some unknown information.

Feng Jue was momentarily at a loss but not surprised, reinforcing Wen Jiu’s suspicions.

"Since Brother Feng is unwilling to speak, then Han Mou will not ask. I am indeed unsure what to request. Fellow Daoist, help me plan the second half of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record and compensate with some Tier Two Corpse Mushrooms. Forget about the Celestial Yin Pill."

Wen Jiu did not press further, understanding that Feng Jue must have his own personal motives. Obtaining information about the special object wasn’t crucial now. In a few years, when East Spring Undying Bone can slay Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators at Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, perhaps he could explore someone’s soul memory for a breakthrough.

It’s merely a matter of waiting a few years.

Feng Jue sighed, revealing a difficult expression, "Brother Han, actually, I am not intentionally concealing from you, but there is indeed something I can’t discuss..."

He wanted to speak.

But the senior within him wouldn’t allow it, even threatening to leave him if he spoke.

Helpless, Feng Jue could only choose silence.

"I understand." Wen Jiu did not continue the topic but added, "Brother Feng, help is naturally available, but if faced with enemies beyond my capacity, don’t fault Han Mou for stepping away first."

"I understand. Even without Fellow Daoist Han mentioning this, I would retreat immediately when facing an unbeatable enemy." Feng Jue was delighted to hear this. Because when Han Li truly decided to help someone, he would emphasize this point. With Han Li’s assistance, he was seventy percent sure of seizing the opportunity ahead.

Wen Jiu further remarked, "But Brother Feng, you are now attracting too much attention. Please proceed ahead; I will follow in due time."

"As you wish."

Feng Jue nodded.

Then he immediately made a Heart Demon Oath.

Unlike other Foundation Establishment cultivators, for someone like Feng Jue who is fully committed to the Dao, the Heart Demon Oath’s impact was immense. If violated, the Heart Demon would grow, affecting the mind, making Core Formation as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After Feng Jue left, Wen Jiu took out the Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Yue Yinrong, altering his previously stated conditions.

He planned to send East Spring Undying Bone to the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, though it might take some time. Fortunately, the Evil Blood Corpse Mushroom would compensate for this.

With Feng Jue’s current status, despite unpleasant past occurrences between Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect and Wind and Cloud Immortal City, obtaining some readily available Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms from Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect was certainly not difficult.

Moreover, given the malicious plots of those behind Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect, they would likely be willing to sell Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms to Feng Jue.

...

Elsewhere.

Feng Jue returned to the cave mansion, packed briefly, and quietly left the Little Demon Realm, mimicking Wen Jiu’s actions by detouring around Soaring Beyond the Spirit and Mortal World. On his journey, Feng Jue remained silent, harbored by thoughts of previous events.

The soul within him sighed, "It’s not that I’m insensitive and rigid, but if he understands the uniqueness and rarity of those things, he’d likely develop ulterior motives to harm you."

"Senior, I didn’t mean it that way. I know everything you do is for my benefit. But Han Li’s fortunes must undoubtedly be immense, and he will eventually learn those things exist. If he recalls today’s events, there’s a chance he’d distance himself from me, resulting in losses."

Han Li is no ordinary person. I’m certain the opportunity to achieve the Heterodox Golden Core in the future will definitely not be small. If not expressing goodwill when he’s weak, once he achieves the Heterodox Golden Core, what opportunity would remain?"

He had callously abandoned his sect, family, and chosen a path of Heartless Blood Pill Dao, yet understood the importance of weighing options, developing networks, and realized the solitary path of cultivation leads only to ruin.

Having a trustworthy ally who may achieve the Heterodox Golden Core in the future is invaluable. If not maintained sincerely, would he have to become truly isolated later? Most importantly, he had received the legacy of this senior. When entering the Hundred Floating Domains, encountering this senior’s enemies was inevitable.

How could he face them alone?

Wouldn’t it require the support of reliable allies?

Even if his strength stood out, why would those grouped together fear him? But if there were a Heterodox Golden Core ally ready to support him, even for a cost, it at least compels enemies to consider. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"If this trip yields that object, you can share with him the key item for Heterodox Core Formation, I will certainly not obstruct you." Sensing Feng Jue’s resentment, the soul within him sighed and relented.
