Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 168 - 103: Returning with the Harvest, Troubles from the Bounty

But suppressing it feels like it's only a matter of time.

"Elder Feng, what is this?"

Wen Jiu asked curiously.

Feng Xuan spoke solemnly, "Vice Hall Master Shan was sneak attacked by a Ghost Cultivator. Although he kept his life, the ghost energy is severely entrenched in his body. If not immediately sent back to the main peak for treatment, the situation will be dire."

"This..."

Wen Jiu looked at Shan Yue Ru, who could succumb to ghost energy at any moment, feeling mixed emotions.

Indeed.

Not going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool was the right choice.

Shan Yue Ru is the Great Elder's direct disciple, surely an elite among

Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, yet she lost half her life at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool. Were she an ordinary Sixth Layer cultivator, she'd probably already be dead.

The journey was silent.

When the Flying Ship arrived at the main peak, that Qi Cultivation Sixth-Layer Female Cultivator immediately told Feng Xuan, "Send her to Elder Wu Xiu at once. Only Elder Wu Xiu can probably dispel such malicious ghost energy."

"Understood!"

Feng Xuan replied and immediately carried Shan Yue Ru on his back, and rushed wildly towards the peak by wind riding.

Wen Jiu also prepared to bid farewell, but then the Qi Cultivation Sixth-Layer Female Cultivator suddenly said, "Little Junior Brother, rest well after returning. I just received news that Qi Ming was originally part of the Celestial Left Alliance. Once evidence is found, you might need to visit the Qi Family in a few days."

"Little Junior Brother?"

Wen Jiu was stunned.

The Female Cultivator chuckled softly and said, "Why, didn't you receive the gift I asked Li Mu to bring to you?"

"So it's Senior Sister Yanyue." Wen Jiu hurriedly saluted, "Junior Brother didn't recognize Senior Sister just now."

Yanyue.

Elder Ye's first disciple.

Li Mu had told him before.

But he also remembered Li Mu's obvious disdain when mentioning Yanyue. However, looking at Senior Sister Yanyue now, Wen Jiu thought she was quite good. Like Shan Yue Ru, her looks were exquisite. Though her age was unknown, her figure was well-maintained, and unlike Shan Yue Ru, she wielded a longsword without the contrasting effect of holding a gigantic hammer.

"These are small matters, go back and rest first," Yanyue said nonchalantly.

Wen Jiu bowed again and praised, "Senior Sister, indeed, as Senior Brother Li Mu said, is as stunning as they claim. Before, I thought Senior Brother was exaggerating, but seeing you today, I know I was wrong."

"Sweet talker. But, Li Mu would never say such things; the last time I broke his ribs, after his companion died by my hand, never a good word about me since," Yanyue suddenly said, surprisingly.

Wen Jiu's face changed abruptly.

Senior Brother Li Mu's companion was killed by Senior Sister Yanyue?

What's going on?

"Don't be surprised; his companion first betrayed Deadman Peak. Any betrayer must die, no matter whose companion they are!" Yanyue spoke calmly, "Alright, go back and rest. I still need to visit the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool again. When I return, I'll definitely accompany you to eliminate those Qi Family traitors!"

With that said,

Yanyue's murderous aura surged.

It transformed into Qi and flowed.

Then, she swiftly flew towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool using Sword Control.

Watching Yanyue disappear, Wen Jiu then turned and left, thinking, "Seems this Senior Sister is no ordinary person either; the number of people she has killed must be a lot, her murderous aura is already as tangible as the master's."

After sighing, Wen Jiu directly went home.

Once home, he changed clothes and headed straight to the Library of Deadman Peak, intending to find information about Earth Demons.

But what Wen Jiu didn't expect was that ancient texts recording treasures like Earth Demons were not freely accessible to Deadman Peak disciples, not even direct disciples of Elders. The only way to borrow them was...

Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Each viewing required five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

And it also required direct disciple status from an Elder; otherwise, even with the Low-grade Spirit Stones, one couldn't view them.

After asking the Elder Guardian, Wen Jiu found that Earth Demon is considered a heavy treasure. The texts likely include not only descriptions but also ways to seek it out, information restricted to Deadman Peak's core members only.

Wen Jiu didn't hesitate and decisively took out Spirit Stones.

"Cannot be taken out, can only be read here," the Elder Guardian reminded solemnly.

Wen Jiu nodded, and immediately began reading, only to unexpectedly find records on the Ghost-faced Butcher.

It contained not only various uses of the Ghost-faced Butcher but also methods to seek, cultivate, and advance it.

Needless to say, the seeking and cultivation methods alone far exceeded the value of five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

However, these were not valuable to Wen Jiu, as he could level up just by acquiring experience through his daily settlement panel. The cultivation method of Ghost-faced Butcher, though, was an unexpected gain.

Ghost-faced Butcher can devour blood energy to produce ghost energy, but devouring blood energy cannot cause its advancement to the second stage.

To elevate Ghost-faced Butcher, Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine is required, similar to cultivating the Law-Devouring Yin Insect.

"Seems Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine still needs cultivation," Wen Jiu originally thought he could lessen the need for Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine by nurturing the Law-Devouring Yin Insect with Earth Demons, but it appears great effort is still needed to cultivate Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine.

If not done oneself, it would only mean purchasing with Spirit Stones.

Given his current wealth, he couldn't sustain such extravagance.

After reading about Ghost-faced Butcher, Wen Jiu memorized other special treasures and their seeking, cultivation methods.

In case they might come in useful one day.

One cannot be spending five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones to read at that time?

Soon enough.

Wen Jiu began reading the Earth Demon section.

The Earth Demon has three uses, not just cultivating the Earth Evil Yin Insect. Surprisingly, it is one of the essential items for the Earth Foundation Establishment, the leader among the Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishments and can be used for Corpse Nourishing.
