Chapter 414: Chapter 216: Gu Qiao and Heihe Visit Together, Five Ghosts Successfully Cross the Tribulation [Second Update]

What is the situation?

Possessed by Chen Daoqing?

And I’m almost a century younger than you, calling me big brother, is that appropriate?

"Stop!"

Wen Jiu walked out of the cavern residence, quickly persuading.

If such words spread, his usually low-profile self would definitely become the focus of Wind and Cloud Immortal City and the Little Demon Realm.

How to remain like Old Six.

Feng Jue chuckled, hurriedly stepped forward, and with a smile, invited Wen Jiu into an ancient pavilion nearby. Wen Ya quickly went to brew tea, but was stopped by Feng Jue, who then set up a sound insulation barrier.

"Retract the word big brother, call me that again, and I’ll never help you again." Wen Jiu decisively spoke.

Feng Jue nodded, quickly making assurances, knowing Han Li was a low-profile person unwilling to show off in front of others. The call of big brother was merely an emotional outburst from the heart.

"Brother Han, this time the harvest is quite significant. I’ve confiscated all the Tier Two heavenly materials and earth treasures from the Wood Spirit Blessed Land, and also moved what I could of the false core inheritance, with a total value surely exceeding five million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Take these Spirit Stones, the missing portion I will sell at Hidden Pavilion and send it over."

After he finished speaking, Feng Jue quickly took out a storage bag containing about twenty thousand Middle-grade Yin Spirit Stones and three Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines worth over fifty thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones. This one storage bag alone could captivate a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, or even provoke an old friend to draw a sword against him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

But Feng Jue did not keep it for himself; instead, he immediately gave away half of this harvest, and by his words, this was not all.

Wen Jiu took some Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine from it and threw the rest back, "Except for the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, take everything else and help me exchange them for Corpse Nourishing Essence Blood, Tier Two Yin Evil Spirit Medicine, or Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms. Also, besides the ten Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms you promised earlier, don’t send any more."

This cooperation is about gradually accumulating benefits; no matter what more Feng Jue gains, Wen Jiu certainly wouldn’t ask for too much.

"Brother Han, I really want it. Without your strong support, I definitely couldn’t have defeated it this easily. Compared to Immortal City Contribution Points, what are these things? It’s just that I don’t have any Yin Spirit Stones at hand, or I’d definitely give them all to Brother Han." Feng Jue seemingly thought differently, feeling he ought to give Han Li more.

If Han Li weren’t unwilling to be in the limelight, refusing to accept being called big brother, he would have acknowledged him as his big brother right then and there.

Because along the way, he had heard tales from the seniors within his body about those people from the Hundred Floating Domains, and numerous Golden Core forces were wary of them, not daring to provoke, and more than a hundred Golden Core Cultivators had fallen to their schemes, hence he was even more determined to maintain a good relationship with Wen Jiu.

Thus, Feng Jue began to repeatedly tug back and forth with Wen Jiu. Ultimately, Feng Jue won, but Wen Jiu didn’t entirely lose either.

"Take another million Low-grade Spirit Stones, help me convert it all into Corpse Nourishing Essence Blood, Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, and Blood Corpse Mushrooms. I don’t want even one more." Wen Jiu helplessly sighed, feeling this sudden wealth rather complicated for the first time.

Three million Low-grade Spirit Stones, if fully converted to resources for cultivating Blood Corpse Mushrooms, Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines to cultivate Earth Demon and Ghost-faced Butcher, and Blood Corpse Mushrooms for Corpse Nourishing, it would be another qualitative leap.

Feng Jue then changed the topic, feeling that even these offerings weren’t enough, "Brother Han, how about splitting the Immortal City Contribution Points with you? With your status as an Honored Guest Elder, spending more Contribution Points can allow access to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven for training, surely enabling a quick advancement to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment."

Wen Jiu shook his head in refusal, "No need, also the cooperation between you and me, must not be known to a third party."

"Understood."

Feng Jue nodded helplessly.

He momentarily didn’t know what else to say. He was just somewhat puzzled about what Brother Han was scheming, why he wouldn’t even compete for readily available resources in the Little Demon Realm, or even take them if offered?

Clearly, just emerging into prominence would surely secure him a spot as a Golden Core True Inheritor, smoothing his cultivation journey.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Feng Jue bid farewell and left, preparing to go to Hidden Pavilion and meet Daoist Wei to hand in a task. After Feng Jue left, Wen Jiu collected his thoughts, originally intending to return directly to the cavern residence, but Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an rushed over, actually wanting to hand him two Tier Two Lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

It’s evident.

Receiving such a substantial gift at once, holding it felt incredibly uneasy for the two.

"Keep them, they’re not anything precious, but they can ensure your safety." Wen Jiu responded blandly, returning to the cavern residence.

Mu Chang’an and Wen Ya exchanged glances, looking at the treasures held in their hands that could stabilize a sect on Deadman Peak, still feeling uneasy.

Upon returning to the cavern residence, Wen Jiu continued corpse nourishing, yet his mind was somewhat intrigued by the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. However, entering would require coming into the view of Golden Core Cultivators.

Not to mention whether he would allow his position with only a ten-year Spirit Contract as an Honored Guest Elder in, even if allowed, acquiring so many Immortal City Contribution Points at once would certainly attract the attention of Pei Wuxing.

To avoid exposing the cooperation with Feng Jue, Wen Jiu decided to restrain this curiosity, focusing solely on the present.

...

A month passed in a blink.

The death of Gu Qianqiu stirred no small stir in the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, but the investigations and speculations from all sides pointed to the Hidden Kill Sect. Coupled with the Hidden Kill Sect’s repeated assassinations of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, the blame for Gu Qianqiu’s death naturally rested on them without rebuttal, implicitly acknowledging it.

Feng Jue was naturally pleased with this development. After Wen Jiu received a massive amount of Corpse Nourishing Essence Blood, Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, and Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms, he immediately went to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven for cultivation, without any delay.
