Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 462 - 288 Harvest_2

Chen Mu casually untied the bundle, and at first glance, about twenty or thirty items came into view. They were not all items used for Corpse Refinement, there were also Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items like ’Ji Earth Primordial Essence.’

After all, the Heavenly Corpse Sect had hidden and collected resources for many years, and even if some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items were not needed, they would still be gathered as long as they held value. They could be used for setting up formations or traded in the underground black market to exchange for needed resources.

Although this Heavenly Corpse Sect stronghold did not seem to have very strong individuals, the thirty-plus items, upon Chen Mu’s rough estimate, were worth more than all the resources he had previously plundered from places like the Iron Hand Gang and Cuiyan Mountain Villa combined!

As long as he exchanged these items for nurturing-type Spiritual Medicines, based on the current system panel requirement for tempering the Six Viscera, he would have more than enough to push his Six Viscera Realm to its limit!

"It’s a pity there’s no Xuanhuang Stone or any similar treasures."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly with a trace of regret.

He was not far from achieving Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster. With sufficient resources, he could break through within months, but to attain grandmaster status without a Spirit Weapon that completely matched him seemed rather unseemly. However, the material required for the Spirit Weapon that aligned with his cultivation of Qiankun Artistic Conception was indeed hard to find.

He managed to find four types previously, which truly was due to luck. At this Heavenly Corpse Sect stronghold, he didn’t find any new types, not even duplicates. If he could even get a piece of repeated Kunlun Jade or the like, he could trade it for other needed items.

He packed up the bundle.

Without lingering, Chen Mu picked up the Heavenly Corpse Sect steward and headed back the way he came. Upon returning to the previously mentioned cellar, he brought them both up to the surface with the Heavenly Corpse Sect disciple he had captured earlier.

Meng Danyun was waiting on the ground. Although she had also found an entrance to the underground cave, she had not entered. After all, the area was collapsing and filled with Corpse Fiend energy. Her methods were not as efficient as Chen Mu’s. She could get down there, but her exploration progress would not be fast.

As for Shen Lin, she had already left to gather people to manage the stronghold.

Once back on the surface, Chen Mu threw both the Heavenly Corpse Sect steward and disciple on the ground and said to Meng Danyun, "I caught two alive. Sister Meng can see if she can get some useful information out of them." Experience new tales on novelbuddy

"How are things below?"

Meng Danyun only glanced at the two demoralized Heavenly Corpse Sect members, who had lost all will to resist, and then turned to Chen Mu, asking.

Chen Mu briefly explained, "The Corpse Fiend formation has been destroyed. The Corpse Fiend and Earth Pulse’s Power have fused. It’s not easy to move around in the Five Viscera Realm down there, but the Earth Pulse has a suppressing and cleansing effect. In no more than a dozen days, the Corpse Fiends should dissipate for the most part."

The scope of this stronghold was vast. Chen Mu, who had gone below, simply retrieved the most valuable Spiritual Objects from the storage; he was not particularly interested in the minor details and didn’t intend to sweep through them one by one. He left that job to the Seven Profound Sect disciples to slowly excavate over time.

Chen Mu was not very stingy with Meng Danyun, asking directly, "I found some valuable items down there. Does Sister Meng need anything?"

With those words,

he opened the bundle.

However, Meng Danyun took a cursory look and then slightly shook her head, saying, "I don’t need anything at the moment, and the tempering of the Six Viscera Realm isn’t urgent. At this realm... well, it’s still mainly about accumulation."

For her, reaching the Six Viscera Realm was a stage that called for more accumulation than the Five Viscera Realm. Without breaking through the Mysterious Pass or realizing a Domain, it was hard to see any qualitative change. Consuming nurturing-type Spiritual Medicines would only speed up the tempering of the Six Viscera a bit, with no substantial change, a common scenario for most cultivators.

"Brother Chen, don’t be too hasty in tempering your Six Viscera. Excessive tempering can easily cause internal damage and is not worth the loss. I know you want to improve through Six Viscera tempering to deal with the erosion of Demonic Qi as soon as possible, but it’s better to be safe."

Meng Danyun suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but remind Chen Mu.

She remembered the last time she went to the sect to exchange for nurturing-type Spiritual Medicines; they had run out because Chen Mu had taken them all. She was somewhat surprised at the time, and recalling this matter now, she reminded him that the focus in the Six Viscera Realm should be on ’nurturing.’ Overdoing it might not be beneficial, and if internal damage led to an unstable foundation, it would take even more effort to rectify.

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Meng. I know what I’m doing."

Chen Mu nodded slightly at Meng Danyun and packed everything up.

He had never rushed the Six Viscera tempering, following the same approach as when he tempered the Five Viscera, repeatedly tempering and giving the Six Viscera time to slowly adapt. Otherwise, he could have reached 90% progress a long time ago.

By now, it had almost been a year since he stepped into the Six Viscera Realm, and it had taken this much effort just to reach this stage. Of course, even so, compared to the average person tempering the Six Viscera, he was still a bit faster.

"Hmm."

Meng Danyun nodded slightly.

Actually, Chen Mu had surpassed her in all aspects nowadays, including the understanding of heaven and earth, among others. The only thing she worried about was that Chen Mu might lose his measurement due to distractions. As long as Chen Mu could stabilize his cultivation, that would be good.

In terms of talent and cultivation, she had been through one thing after another, and had always had full faith in Chen Mu. Even though the people of the world now believed Chen Mu’s path to becoming a grandmaster to be remote, she had a strange feeling ever since she reunited with Chen Mu previously, thinking that he would still become an unparalleled grandmaster in the future, and would not stop at the Six Viscera Realm.

Nonetheless, this thought flashed by only for a moment.

Even if it turned out as she had imagined, that would be a matter of many years later. There was no need to consider these issues right now. At least in the current situation, it was much safer for Chen Mu, who was no longer the object of many people’s apprehension in the Cold North Path.

...

Frost County, Prefectural Government.

After annihilating a base of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and deploying a batch of Seven Profound Sect disciples to search through the nearby mountains to ensure they were thoroughly cleared, Chen Mu quietly returned to the Prefectural Government alone.

The system in Ice State was very similar to that of Yu State, also controlled by the Ice Extreme Palace, encompassing everything from officials at the State Government Office down to the bureaucratic clerks in the Prefectural Government. Frost County also had an Inspectorate, a Demon-Slaying Office, and other Yamen.

However.

After Ice State fell into chaos, these Yamen were no longer as clearly separated. They were all dispatched and assigned by the Prefectural Governor of Frost County, Tan Xiwu. Previously, the focus was on defending the Prefectural Government, but now it was on pursuing and eliminating Demon Men everywhere.

"Protector Chen?"

At this moment, Tan Xiwu was not inside the Prefectural Government. The one in charge of the government affairs was a protector from the Ice Extreme Palace. Seeing Chen Mu arrive, he was slightly surprised but quickly offered a salute with a clasped fist.

Although they were both protectors, Chen Mu, as a figure on the Wind Cloud List, held a different status.

"I cleaned up a base of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and acquired some resources. I wonder if you could trade for some needed items here."

Chen Mu stated his intention straightforwardly.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Extreme Palace protector Leng Zhan was not too surprised and smiled, saying, "With Protector Chen coming to aid Ice State, naturally we should open the doors of convenience. May I know what Protector Chen requires?"

"Do you have any warming and nourishing type Spiritual Objects?"

"Hmm, we do have some, but not many. There are only four portions here at the Prefectural Government."

Leng Zhan was slightly surprised but still responded.

In the current times of war, the generally required resources were mostly for healing and recuperating, and such nourishing items were particularly scarce, especially those effective for the Six Viscera Realm, they were extremely rare. He was even considering how to appropriately respond to Chen Mu if he asked for them, but warming and nourishing type Spiritual Objects were still somewhat more abundant.

After all, in these chaotic times, enhancing the progress of tempering the Six Viscera didn’t mean much. It wasn’t as crucial as some Spiritual Medicine that could quickly heal injuries, or even regenerate flesh and bones.

The batch of warming and nourishing type Spiritual Objects was actually six portions, from a ’Six-petal Snow Lotus’, with each petal being one portion. They were unexpectedly discovered during a disturbance in the Earth’s Veins at Frost County and were meant to be delivered to the Ice Extreme Palace. However, due to the chaos in Ice State, it had been kept in Frost County, and two petals had since been used, leaving only four.

"Four portions, huh."

Chen Mu kept his expression unchanged, but was slightly astonished deep down; he had assumed that in a Prefecture City like Frost County, there might not be any warming and nourishing type Spiritual Objects, and perhaps it would require a risky trip to the Ice Extreme Palace. Unexpectedly, there were four portions right here.

Leng Zhan also knew that Chen Mu, being a figure on the Wind Cloud List, was an important person assisting the Ice Extreme Palace against the Sky Demon Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect. He immediately said readily, "Actually, those four portions come from a ’Six-petal Snow Lotus’, with only four petals remaining... If Protector Chen has equivalent other Spiritual Objects, I can make the decision to exchange them with Protector Chen."
