Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 118 - 85: Level 2 Corpse Nurturer, Grinding Yin Spirit Technique [5K—Subscribe!]
After leaving the mountaintop, Wen Jiu went straight back to his Good House at the foot of the mountain.
Upon returning home, he began grinding experience, and he hung a sign on his door that read "Do Not Disturb While Cultivating."
During this period, many people visited him for various reasons, some even being direct disciples of the Elders, but Wen Jiu ignored them all. After all, responding to one person and then another would take up an entire day.
While at Feixian Peak, he had considered networking, but after meeting Du Feng and the others, he felt more comfortable being alone.
Indeed.
Staying at home is the ultimate destination.
Previously, socializing had too high a cost, and there was no time to socialize.
Now, just by staying inside, he can gain experience. Isn’t this better than making friends?
As long as the relationships with Senior Brother Li Mu, Mentor Elder Ye Chen, Inspector Feng Xuan, and Elder Xiang Wenlong are maintained well.
Isn’t it better than having a hundred Elder disciples?
It’s worth mentioning that on the third day of Wen Jiu’s secluded cultivation, the main peak assessment finally concluded.
Eight people passed the ninth trial.
Wang Xianzhi was the leader, including Du Feng; the top five all had Top-Grade Spirit Roots, or Top-Grade Single-Attribute Spirit Roots.
Their passage did not surprise the crowd, but what did surprise people was that two of them only had Middle-Grade Spirit Roots, neither of which were Middle-Grade Single-Attribute Spirit Roots. These two were accepted as direct disciples by the Main Peak Elders of the Alchemy Room and Artifact Refining Tower.
For a while, many envied them.
Because the vast majority who come to the main peak have Middle-Grade Spirit Roots.
...
All the way down from the mountainside.
Du Feng and Wang Xianzhi among others began talking happily.
Du Feng frequently looked around, enjoying the respect from the Main Peak disciples and the newcomers to Deadman Peak. Especially when seeing former Feixian Peak disciples saluting him, his determination became incomparably firm once again.
From today, he is a direct disciple of the Elder.
Years later, he will surely have a place of his own in this vast Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak.
And Wen Jiu.
Is destined to be just a fleeting appearance in his life, like a passing cloud.
After all, as far as he knew, those who practiced the Yinzhou Corpse Nourishing Technique only lived up to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer at most.
While he.
Can aim for Foundation Establishment!
"Dear friends, let’s gather again in three days. I’ll go back to tidy up first," Du Feng clasped his fists and bid farewell to everyone.
"Return soon."
"See you in three days."
The others also clasped their hands and bid farewell to each other.
Wang Xianzhi also clasped his fists but remained silent, as he always felt like he was missing something.
But he couldn’t remember what exactly was missing.
Meanwhile, Du Feng returned to the Good House, and along the way, those who saw him greeted and flattered him non-stop, to which Du Feng simply nodded in response. When he passed by Wen Jiu’s residence, his gaze naturally landed on the wooden sign at the door.
"Do Not Disturb While Cultivating?"
Du Feng indifferently retracted his gaze.
"Looks like the assessment hit Junior Brother Wen quite hard." Du Feng murmured, feeling very satisfied with this result, and not surprised. After all, Heterodox Dao is naturally somewhat inferior at the main peak; even if one reached the ninth trial just like them, it is still a lesser path.
But he didn’t notice the change in the expressions of those around him.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
What?
Wen Jiu was seriously affected by this assessment?
What impact?
The impact of being taken as a direct disciple by one of the four greats, Elder Ye Chen?
"Senior Brother Du, you don’t know?" At this moment, a former Feixian Peak disciple suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Know what?"
Du Feng was puzzled.
The disciple hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Wen already returned two or three days ago."
"I know."
Du Feng nodded.
Ninety-nine percent of the disciples returned around that time.
The disciple seemed even more confused and asked, "Then why did you say that Senior Brother Wen was seriously affected by the assessment? If being taken as a direct disciple by Elder Ye is considered a setback, then we also want to be affected."
"Taken by Elder..."
Du Feng was stunned.
Quickly he asked again, "What did you just say?"
"I said we also want to be affected."
"The previous sentence."
"If being accepted as a direct disciple by Elder Ye can be considered a setback..."
"Accepted as a direct disciple by Elder Ye?" Du Feng was bewildered, but seeing that the people around did not dare approach Wen Jiu’s residence, he realized this statement was true, "How could it be? When we passed the ninth trial, we didn’t see him... He wasn’t present at the tenth trial either... Could it be that at that time he already..."
But it was only half a day!
Wen Jiu mastered the techniques on the stone tablet within half a day?
How is that possible!
Wang Xianzhi, who was fought over by seven or eight Main Peak Elders and finally accepted as a disciple by White Sword Heart from the Evil-slaying Department, took two days.
At this moment.
Looking back at Wen Jiu’s residence, he could only feel his face burning.
The golden lock of confidence he had built in the Black Spirit Tower now showed cracks again.
...
On the other side.
Upon learning that Wen Jiu was taken as a direct disciple by Elder Ye Chen, Wang Xianzhi was also stunned for a moment.
"I finally know what’s missing." Wang Xianzhi realized.
He couldn’t help but feel emotional in his heart.
He originally thought that his fortune and talent were unmatched, but he hadn’t expected to lose.
"Not only that, but I heard from my mentor that the Black Corpse Wen Jiu nurtured kicked to death the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Peak Disciple who fought against you. However, the difference is, he didn’t use a real killing move against you, but used the Sword Dance Technique against Wen Jiu." Wang Xianzhi’s companion, a direct disciple, spoke slowly.
These words caused Wang Xianzhi’s expression to freeze once more.
He had fought with the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, who hadn’t used killing moves; it was extremely challenging, and he barely ended with a draw using all his might.
"So the gap between us is this big." Wang Xianzhi couldn’t help but remark.
The direct disciple beside Wang Xianzhi spoke again, "What is that? Wen Jiu joined Feixian Peak only three months ago, and before joining, he was just a mortal."
