Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 112 - 83: Becoming Ye Chen’s Apprentice, Benefits of a Direct Disciple
"Do not agree!"
Ye Chen glared over angrily.
Wen Jiu chuckled silently and then bowed to Ye Chen again, "Elder Ye, are you satisfied with my results?"
Upon saying this.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, surprised Wen Jiu remembered this remark. In terms of the test results alone, he was not satisfied, but Wen Jiu’s Three Evil Corpses had given him too many surprises; whether the test results met the mark was no longer of utmost importance.
"Not bad." Ye Chen replied with a smile, feeling assured, and then retrieved the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe.
Upon seeing this smile, Xun Jiangxing’s expression stiffened, "Boy, you better think carefully, even though this old fellow has decent strength, his wealth isn’t substantial; what he can provide you in resources is definitely not a tenth of mine."
Wen Jiu responded honestly, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Xun. I’m sincerely flattered, but I’ve already decided to take Elder Ye as my mentor when I was at Feixian Peak."
"This..."
Xun Jiangxing’s face turned bitter.
He wanted to say a few more words.
But was interrupted by Ye Chen, "I had initially promised that if I were satisfied with your test results, I’d accept you as my direct disciple. Today, although your test results didn’t quite satisfy me, your Three Evil Corpses truly surprised me... Tomorrow morning, come to Wuzhong Prefecture with Li Mu to see me!"
With those words.
Ye Chen tossed out a Main Peak Elder Order.
On it was only one word—Ye.
This was a symbol of his status. With it, Wen Jiu could freely enter and exit anywhere on Deadman Peak except the peak master’s residence. He could also freely construct his cultivation abode on the mountainside.
The Side Peak Master must also show respect when seeing it!
"Thank you, Master."
Wen Jiu immediately changed his address.
Ye Chen nodded satisfied, then did not linger further and flew away, leaving only a remark.
"You are quite a clever person."
Xun Jiangxing remained frozen but quickly regained his smile and handed over his identity token, "Boy, actually being his direct disciple and joining our Earth Treasure Department is not mutually exclusive."
"Hmm?"
Wen Jiu was taken aback, subconsciously looking at Li Mu, the direct disciple of Elder Ye, standing beside him, and the highest cultivator among the three who approached him earlier. Turning back, Li Mu nodded slightly, as if suggesting Wen Jiu accept it.
"Thank you, Elder Xun."
Wen Jiu respectfully accepted.
At that moment, Xiang Wenlong’s bitter expression suddenly blossomed into a smile, realizing something he hadn’t thought of.
Is there a conflict between worshiping Elder Ye and joining Spirit Suppression Department?
No conflict.
Thinking of this, Xiang Wenlong immediately dismounted and strode towards Wen Jiu, who quickly bowed again upon seeing this.
"I am the Spirit Suppression Main Peak Elder Xiang Wenlong. Without further ado, as long as you’re willing to join my Spirit Suppression Department, you will receive two... a greeting gift of one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, and you may choose one of Spirit Suppression Department’s ten secret arts to cultivate at will."
Before Wen Jiu could speak, Xun Jiangxing laughed, "A thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, Brother Xiang, you really went all out this time."
Xiang Wenlong ignored Xun Jiangxing, suddenly seemed to recall something, and said to Wen Jiu with some anticipation, "Boy, although my greeting gift isn’t as grand as his, given your practice of the Heterodox Dao, my Spirit Suppression Department’s environment should be most suitable for you!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu respectfully raised his hand, "Please grant me the token, Elder Xiang!"
Xiang Wenlong was extremely delighted, quickly took out his Elder Order from his pocket and handed it over.
"Boy, I await you!"
Xun Jiangxing was momentarily at a loss, a sense of foreboding arose spontaneously, watching Xiang Wenlong leave contentedly, and he was bewildered. Could he lose not only to Ye Chen, but also to Xiang Wenlong?
He could not accept this!
The next moment.
Xun Jiangxing blurted out.
"Four thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, what do you think?"
Wen Jiu’s mouth twitched; he was witnessing what it meant to be wealthy.
An increase of a thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones just like that.
Honestly speaking.
He really wanted it.
Setting aside other matters, cultivating the Three Evil Corpses needed Spirit Stones, but was Deadman Peak allowing him to step onto Spirit Suppression Department’s boat with one foot and stand in Earth Treasure Department’s treasury with the other? Judging by Xun Jiangxing’s demeanor, it should not be allowed.
Forget it.
Let it be.
Although he would miss out on the treasure trove of Earth Treasure Department, at least he had achieved the original goal.
Wen Jiu spoke, "Thank you, Elder Xun, for your kind offer; I shall inquire with my master about this matter in the future before making a decision."
"Alright!"
Xun Jiangxing knew Wen Jiu was merely stalling, but so what, as long as there was no outright rejection, there was still a chance.
He simply could not believe it.
If he couldn’t compete with Ye Chen.
Could he not compete with this old fellow Xiang Wenlong?
"My token, when used at the Earth Treasure Pavilion for purchases, can be displayed, and as long as the total single price does not exceed a thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, you’ll get a thirty percent discount!" Xun Jiangxing spoke again.
"Thank you, Elder."
Wen Jiu bowed again.
In this way, the cost of purchasing Blood Evil Crystal and Celestial Killing Water to cultivate the Three Evil Corpses would be reduced by thirty percent.
Over the years, who knows how many Spirit Stones could be saved.
Even if he did not join the Earth Treasure Department in the future, as long as he occasionally displayed himself appropriately, Xun Jiangxing would likely not have any complaints. If he did, then he’d exploit the resources harshly before any objections.
Soon.
Xun Jiangxing also left.
Besides the three, no one else came down to recruit Wen Jiu.
Some did not favor Wen Jiu’s Heterodox Dao, or didn’t wish to take in Heterodox Dao disciples, while others felt there was no hope and simply chose not to come down, with hopes of selecting some other talents afterward.
"Junior Brother, I’ll escort you out." Li Mu spoke.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Wen Jiu glanced at this Senior Brother who was at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, but whose aura was faintly about to reach Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
