Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 202 - 119: Killing the Gu Daoist, Death of Chen Daoqing’s Grandfather [Second Update]

Wen Jiu responded truthfully, "If it counts that Senior Sister Shan slept outside while I slept inside, then indeed it was for two nights."

Upon hearing this answer, Yanyue's hopeful smile abruptly ceased, "You, such a good opportunity missed? Do you know how high Shan Yue Ru's status is among the male cultivators at Deadman Peak?

Moreover, Shan Yue Ru's temper towards other male cultivators is fiery, and few can approach her. But with you, though partly because you are her junior brother, many are indeed envious."

"Then I must keep my distance from Senior Sister Shan in the future." Wen Jiu said this, thinking the same in his heart.

Apart from fearing trouble.

Wen Jiu also feared another matter.

The elder's matchmaking.

If it's true as Senior Sister Yanyue says, the Great Elder might indeed do so.

Aside from his sister Wen Ya, he doesn't want any familial attachments at Deadman Peak, because in the cultivation realm, family ties are often constraints. In short, interpersonal relationships can exist, but family ties should absolutely not.

Yanyue's expression froze again, "Are you serious, kid?"

"Naturally."

Wen Jiu nodded.

Speech ended.

Wen Jiu then cupped his hands to take leave, continuing his cultivation at the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Seeing this, Yanyue was left speechless, "If Shan Yue Ru knew what you said today, she'd probably doubt life."

Once Wen Jiu left.

Yanyue sighed deeply.

This junior, in all aspects, is indeed excellent. Though he's from the heterodox path, he doesn't commit heterodox acts nor does he display the impatience typical of heterodox cultivators; he solely desires to refine his cultivation. Yet he is remarkably indifferent to matters between men and women.

Truly, he somewhat doesn't understand romance.

...

In a blink, it's been three to five days.

The great cleansing at Deadman Peak continues, and during this time, the Three Evil Flying Corpses have finally been cultivated to the upper realm.

During these days, Wen Jiu also began attempting to use the demon skin of the True Spirit Demons to make talisman paper.

The True Spirit Demon Race consists of Tier One Superior Demons; their demon skin used as talisman paper is naturally much better than purchased talisman paper. Of course, Wen Jiu mainly wanted to grind experience unnoticed by anyone.

But if he went to the Earth Treasure Pavilion to buy Tier One Middle Grade or Superior Grade talisman paper, it would inevitably attract Xun Jiangxing's attention.

However, not every part of a True Spirit Demon can be made into talisman paper; only the skin from the chest and back areas can be used.

After skinning, soak with Yin Technique and Earthly Evil Yin Qi for seven full days, then dry during Yin time to obtain complete Yin Talisman Skin. But talisman skin isn't talisman paper and cannot be directly used to draw talismans.

It still needs to be cut and thinned; after completing these two steps, the talisman skin becomes talisman paper.

Currently, Wen Jiu is still in the soaking stage, so he's temporarily buying ordinary low-grade talisman paper for practice, grinding Soul-Seizing Talisman experience. These past days, he's finally filled the Soul-Seizing Talisman experience completely.

Soul-Seizing Talisman (Complete 0/1000)

Once the mastery experience was full, every top-tier Tier One Lower Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman he drew succeeded with the help of the Black Bone Talisman Brush.

However, if he wants to try drawing the Tier One Middle Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman recorded in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, he still needs to grind Low-Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman experience to completeness. Not necessarily, but only by achieving completeness does he reach the peak of Tier One Lower Grade Talisman Master's skill.

Wen Jiu also thought it through; this is a good opportunity to thoroughly enhance his talisman master skills.

The high status of talisman mastery among the hundred arts of cultivation is partly because it's the most effective protective means. Daily, one can draw talismans to earn spirit stones, and during combat, use one's talismans for attack and defense.

...

Meanwhile, news came from Ping Mountain.

He had already been promoted from Deadman Peak to investigate the situation.

But it's not within the cultivation realm.

Rather, it's in the mortal world.

A thousand miles away from Deadman Peak, in a mortal city where thirteen thousand people all died under a Yin Array, with blood completely drained, leaving no survivors. Such a huge massacre, if committed by a mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, would result in three to four thousand mid-stage cultivators facing heaven and earth retribution, losing hope of Foundation Establishment in this life. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Yet, according to Gu Daoist's account, most mid-stage Celestial Left Alliance heterodox cultivators hadn't gone to the mortal world; they remain active in the cultivation realm, only reducing attacks on Deadman Peak.

Those who went to the mortal world were all lineage leaders and guardians, about thirty to forty people.

Massacring thirteen thousand mortals would indeed subject all lineage leaders and guardians, except the Celestial Left Alliance Leader, to heaven and earth retribution.

"The heterodox demons of Celestial Left Alliance are ruthless to others, but even more so to themselves." Wen Jiu felt poignant thoughts.

What did the Celestial Left Alliance Leader offer them, or what did Wusheng Three Gates provide, for them to be willing to pay such a heavy price?

Even under the control of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, cultivation to Foundation Establishment is as difficult as ascension, but there's always a glimmer of hope, isn't there?

Yet they abandon even the slightest hope.

"Honestly, a faction so ruthless to itself, if it doesn't succeed, who will? Alas, everything has cause and effect, even if the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader has others bear the heaven and earth retribution from massacring mortals, using essence blood will still taint him with its karma... Perhaps this karma will become the final 'snowflake' that leads to his downfall." Wen Jiu again spoke with deep emotion.

In the days ahead, Deadman Peak became chaotic again, with attacks growing more frequent and intense, clearly indicating the Celestial Left Alliance Leader has returned to the Deadman Peak cultivation realm.

Soon, Wen Jiu also received news from Gu Daoist.

Upon the Celestial Left Alliance Leader's return, he's once again issued bounties; though not using Left Essence Pills, he's also offered cultivation techniques and spells, aimed at avenging the Ming Lineage.
