Chapter 431: Chapter 223: Daoist Wei’s Fury, The Place to Fence Stolen Goods

With one Soul Cultivator and thirty or so early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, the corpse-nourishing effect was comparable to thirty Blood Corpse Mushrooms, yielding 7,500 experience points, successfully pushing the progress of the East Spring Undying Bone’s corpse nourishment past halfway point.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Two Upper Realm 36000/60000)]

"Getting closer to the peak."

Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction, then recalled the many spoils in his storage bag. If he could sell them all and exchange them for Corpse Nourishing Essence Blood, the East Spring Undying Bone might soon reach Tier Two Peak.

After several days of careful examination, Wen Jiu confirmed there were no hidden traps in the twelve storage bags and transferred all useful items into his own. Among them were some Tier Two Middle and Lower Grade Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, Elixir Pills, and Yin Talismans.

As for cultivation methods, it was only the cultivation methods of the Soul Cultivator and Artifact Cultivator that interested Wen Jiu.

The Soul Cultivation Method directly reached the Golden Core Realm.

In its soul memory, it was obtained from an ancient relic site, making it potentially the only one of its kind in the world. Its value is self-evident, worth definitely over ten million if exchanged for Spirit Stones.

The Artifact Cultivation Method only reached the Fake Pill Realm but contained the critical Secret Technique of artifact cultivation, the cultivation method of the Artifact Heart, which greatly increased its value. The ability to wield magical artifacts and the extent to which their power can be exerted largely depend on the Artifact Heart, with the soul serving as secondary support.

It’s akin to a Sword Cultivator; one with a Sword Heart is undoubtedly stronger than one without.

In the soul memory of the Demon Soul, he once saw a Golden Core Level Artifact Heart cultivation method being auctioned, eventually selling for 300,000 Middle-grade Yin Spirit Stones, or 30 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Such a vast number of Spirit Stones can only be afforded by a Golden Core Level Influence or an actual Golden Core Cultivator.

However, that was for a Golden Core Level Artifact Heart cultivation method. For the Fake Pill, the price might only be about thirty percent of that.

Perhaps 9 million to 10 million would be the absolute maximum.

But even combined with the Artifact Cultivation Method, its value doesn’t fall short of that of the Soul Cultivation Method. However, without knowing the whereabouts of Soul-Catching Xu Qi’s Artifact Cultivation Method or how many people practice it, pricing is difficult to determine.

But even if many have practiced it, its value might be halved at most, still valued around ten million Spirit Stones.

"This time’s harvest is truly terrifying," Wen Jiu expressed his amazement, borrowing the words of the Flame Emperor.

In addition, Wen Jiu had acquired twenty Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifacts, including six from the Artifact Cultivator and two from the Soul Cultivator. Unfortunately, the Black Wood Spiritual Artifact from the Artifact Cultivator was broken, otherwise, its value would be comparable to that of the Ghost Head Soul Nail.

These top-tier Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifacts would fetch close to a million Low-grade Spirit Stones anywhere they are sold.

An ordinary Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifact would cost about 500,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, if not more.

Selling all twenty Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifacts, even if at only sixty to seventy percent of their original price, would still bring in around 7 million. Add other miscellaneous items, and it could fetch about two to three million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The total value of all the spoils is undoubtedly around thirty million. Of course, that doesn’t include those thirty chests of Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Medicine. Adding those, the total value amounts to fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

That converts into 500,000 Middle-grade Yin Spirit Stones.

That’s likely the full fortune of a Golden Core Cultivator.

"Thanks to the rare Soul Cultivator and Artifact Cultivator, otherwise, the haul this time would only amount to around thirty million. After the 30/70 split, he could only get items worth about 21 million Low-grade Spirit Stones."

Internal strife is beneficial indeed.

He now rather enjoys the infighting of Golden Core Level Influences.

With Old Six present, to acquire the Spirit Stones needed to upgrade the Ghost-faced Butcher, it truly is marvelous.

With a total loot value of fifty million, after the 30/70 split, he can get about 35 million.

However, fencing the goods won’t be easy; doing so all at once is not feasible, and it must be done in several batches, with intervals in between. Otherwise, such large-scale fencing would surely attract those above Foundation Establishment.

Golden Core cultivators might not deign to intervene, but Fake Pill cultivators would flock like flies to dung.

As for fencing, Wen Jiu planned to let East Spring Undying Bone handle it. With repeated fencing, even facing a Fake Pill Cultivator, East Spring Undying Bone need not fear.

If it can’t win, it can certainly escape.

...

The next day.

Feng Jue finally returned to Lengxi Mountain. Upon returning, he didn’t immediately visit Wen Jiu, but rather sent a message of greeting. To avoid detection, Wen Jiu had East Spring Undying Bone sneak into Lengxi Mountain that same day.

Seeing East Spring Undying Bone quietly appear outside his cave, Feng Jue was both delighted and a bit helpless.

A Top-grade Yin Array couldn’t even block Brother Han’s Escape Technique, truly an uneasy feeling.

But knowing such a powerful individual had a close relationship with him, and was trustworthy, his helplessness turned to excitement. He could scarcely imagine how powerful Brother Han would be as a Heterodox Golden Core.

A powerful Heterodox Golden Core who enjoys hiding and disguising, if he could continue collaborating with him, what a wonderful future that would be.

"Brother Han, please come in."

Feng Jue immediately invited East Spring Undying Bone into his cave.

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to throw over the storage bag, and sent a message recounting all the gains from this trip. Whether it was the Soul Cultivation Method or the Artifact Heart, Wen Jiu did not hide anything. Just as Feng Jue had thought, Wen Jiu had high regard for Feng Jue, hoping today’s sincerity might bring greater returns in the future.

"The harvest is abundant, but fencing all these goods might take a long time. I plan to go to the Celestial Demon Sea, within the territory of the Three Life Gates to fence, bringing only about 5 million in value at a time. Dividing the sales into ten batches, with a two-month gap between each, I plan to sell everything within two years."

Feng Jue hurriedly responded, "Brother Han, if you need Spirit Stones urgently, you can use mine first and give me my share after selling everything."

"Mm-hmm."

This was precisely in line with Wen Jiu’s wishes.

Feng Jue shifted the conversation, "Brother Han, yesterday I saw Heihe. He was originally among the flying ship team, but when he saw someone stealthily bypass the restrictions and steal the Spiritual Medicine during a patrol, he immediately found an excuse to leave, thus surviving.

Today, he sought out Daoist Wei again, tearfully expressing his desire to turn from darkness to light, revealing the buyer of this transaction. I think Brother Han could continue selling the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Medicine to the one collaborating with Vice City Lord Lin."

"Who is she collaborating with?" Wen Jiu believed, if it were someone from the Three Life Gates, Feng Jue certainly wouldn’t have mentioned it.

Taking the spoils to Vice City Lord Lin’s collaborator would be akin to walking into a trap, wouldn’t it?

Feng Jue transmitted, "That person belongs to a Loose Cultivator influence in the Celestial Demon Sea, similar to Wind and Cloud Immortal City, yet fundamentally different. The Loose Cultivator influence in the Celestial Demon Sea is known as the Yinhe Sect. The sect leader is also a Heterodox Golden Core Cultivator, but quite mysterious, never participating in any power struggles, nor establishing a base like Wind and Cloud Immortal City or the Little Demon Realm.

However, they have established one temple after another in the Celestial Demon Sea, accepting all regardless of background. Even cultivators with inferior Spirit Roots may enter to cultivate, but must leave the temple after fifty years of cultivation. Therefore, though the Yinhe Sect has many members, they are all Qi Refining Cultivators, making them not particularly powerful in the Celestial Demon Sea, and having to purchase what they need.

Now, with the Three Life Gates and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks locked in battle, resources that were originally sold to them are now supplied to frontline cultivators, forcing them to buy from other influences. If you seek them out, you can certainly sell the Spiritual Medicine swiftly, without fear of being targeted.

Because the Yinhe Sect is considered an oddity among the Heterodox, with an excellent reputation, never having committed murder or robbery. Instead, they proactively hunt down those evil and tribulation cultivators who do.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu immediately searched through the Yin Yang Cultivator’s soul memory for information about the Yinhe Sect.

It turns out to be just as Feng Jue described.

Accepting all regardless of background.

Non-confrontational.

Willing to help.

Charitable.

"Is this the style a Heterodox Influence should have?" But to Wen Jiu, such an existence seemed even more peculiar than the Three Life Gates.

Everything exists for a reason, there’s simply no way their actions stem from mere kindness.

Human nature is that.

Upon gaining power through cultivation, the darkness in human nature becomes magnified. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

No one escapes.

Not even Golden Core cultivators.

Otherwise, why else would there be a deadly battle between the Three Life Gates and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, two Golden Core Level influences?

[Second update is still at 8 PM.

For now, the map won’t change, nor will there be cultivation in the Celestial Demon Sea; it’s just to gradually familiarize you all with the Celestial Demon Sea and its influences.
