Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 93 - 76: Three Evil Corpses of the Middle Realm, Heading to the Main Peak
Upon receiving this news, Wen Jiu’s expression remained unchanged.
However, a sense of curiosity still arose in his heart, because the possibility of death meant that there would be a clash of powers.
Collision between disciples?
Not likely.
When disciples cross swords, the upper echelons of Deadman Peak will definitely intervene at the critical moment to stop any fatalities.
After all, what Deadman Peak cultivates are not assassins, but cultivators.
So it’s more likely a collision between people and other things, things even the Main Peak Elders of Feixian Peak cannot control.
It’s the uncontrollable that leads to death.
"Brother, should we inquire with the Inspector about the Main Peak examination? Better to prepare in advance." Wang Nian looked more nervous than Wen Jiu, pacing relentlessly in the Corpse Remains Death Land.
Wen Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle, though he wasn’t surprised, "Brother Wang, don’t worry, the examination shouldn’t be a problem."
"I have faith in you for the Side Peak examination, but the Main Peak’s is compared against all side peaks. Take our Feixian Peak for example, we have a Du Feng, but what about the other peaks? Don’t underestimate the other side peaks. Let me tell you... these side peaks have been roaming the Mortal World for years in search of talent. Just a couple of years ago, one side peak found a Top-Grade Spirit Root prodigy in the Mortal World, intending to secretly keep them, but unexpectedly, a Main Peak Elder personally came to demand them."
As he spoke, Wang Nian suddenly realized something, "I think I suddenly understand why the Main Peak set such standards... Although they could test all disciples together, they insist on apprentice disciples within three years and formal disciples within one year."
Hearing Wang Nian’s words, Wen Jiu also had a moment of realization.
He too was curious why the Main Peak set such standards, and now he understood the reason.
However, the Main Peak seems not to intend to utterly bleed the side peaks dry, so they left a loophole that disciples who have taken a Side Peak Elder or Peak Master as their mentor cannot participate in the examination.
I believe, as long as the Side Peak Elders and Peak Masters are not too excessive, the people from the Inspection Hall and the Main Peak Elders will choose to turn a blind eye.
If it’s too excessive, as Wang Nian said, if you want to hide a Top-Grade Spirit Root talent in your own side peak, the Main Peak Elders will come straight to your door.
Before Wen Jiu collected his thoughts, Wang Nian spoke again, "You keep busy, I’ll have my uncle help you gather some information. He has ties in the Main Peak and knows some people in the Inspection Hall, I’m sure he can find out something."
"Then, thank you, Brother Wang."
Wen Jiu didn’t refuse this kindness.
Inquiring about the examination content in advance isn’t about cheating, so Wen Jiu didn’t mind.
...
In the following three days, Wen Jiu expended a total of ten pounds of Corpse Blood a day with Yin Technique, resulting in a fifteen hundred experience increase for the Three Evil Corpses over three days. The Blood Transformation Body increased by twelve hundred points, reaching fourteen hundred sixty points.
Both progressed over halfway.
However, the giant python’s body was also more than halfway consumed.
And on this day, the Side Peak examination officially began. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
It was held in the square before the Main Peak, with a total of twenty arenas, ten for apprentices and ten for formal disciples. Eligible disciples could step onto the arena and randomly choose opponents to spar with.
However, the contest only had one phase, a total of three days, with the final twenty spots determined by the number of victories.
Participants or arena defenders could surrender, but surrendering would reduce their victory count. You could also defend the arena continuously, provided you can withstand it.
Wen Jiu wasn’t concerned about the Side Peak examination and stood on one of the arenas on the first day, drawing the attention of everyone from Feixian Peak. Various Division Elders and Inspectors from the Inspection Hall also came to watch.
After all, Wen Jiu’s overt strength was unmatched, whether as an apprentice or formal disciple.
Not even Du Feng could compare.
But Wen Jiu didn’t waste much time nor did he aim to show off. He stood on the arena for an hour, sequentially drawing twenty apprentice disciples to spar with him.
However, among the apprentice disciples, most were at the Qi Cultivation First Layer, without encountering even one at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer.
So Wen Jiu didn’t bother bullying the weak and casually flicked them off the arena with his Magic Power Flick to claim victory.
After securing twenty victory points, Wen Jiu directly returned to the Corpse Remains Death Land, no longer caring about the examination matters.
But after Wen Jiu left, the various Division Elders and the three Inspectors couldn’t help but start speculating.
Because they had already received a lot of information.
There were rumors of what kind of talent existed among certain side peak formal disciples, or what kind of monsters appeared among certain side peak disciples.
They had heard of no fewer than seven Du Feng-like top-grade single-attribute Spirit Roots, with the strongest already reaching Qi Cultivation Third Layer. Wen Jiu lagged behind them in terms of age and cultivation time.
However, in their view, no matter what, Wen Jiu was certain to become a formal disciple of the Main Peak.
The only thing left to anticipate was which master he would take.
They considered that Elder Ye might favor Wen Jiu, having summoned him individually, but given Elder Ye’s status and strength, he didn’t even glance at Du Feng. Would he really be willing to take in Wen Jiu?
While everyone was pondering, Wen Jiu returned to the Corpse Remains Death Land. After producing Corpse Blood, he returned home.
The days left to stay in Feixian Peak were running out, and as for cultivation, little could be improved within the next few days, so he decided to spend more time with his sister, Wen Ya, as who knew when they would meet again.
