Chapter 341: Chapter 184: Power of the Four Foundations, Ten-Year Spirit Contract

At this moment, looking again at Wen Jiu, respect filled Heihe’s eyes, and he spoke with lingering fear, "As Fellow Daoist Feng Jue said, your Flying Corpse is extraordinary... Such an escape technique, such a soul-capturing technique, if you and I were enemies, I would surely be dead today..."

"At most ten years, during this period, as long as my Flying Corpse can kill the target, I can assist Wind and Cloud Immortal City."

The escape technique and soul-capturing technique had been revealed before, revealing them again wouldn’t overly expose the strength of the East Spring Undying Bone. If it could shorten the Spirit Contract to ten years, signing it would be acceptable.

After all, once signed, it would be akin to gaining a powerful ally. A ten-year constraint is not too long.

It also offers an opportunity to contact the higher-ups of Wind and Cloud Immortal City and to inquire about the Heterodox Golden Core issue.

Heihe glanced at Gui Yanqiu who was still in shock, then looked at Feng Jue who wasn’t surprised, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I can’t decide in ten years, but with your methods, I assume it won’t be a problem."

"My bottom line is ten years, and Li Mou will only kill those who can be killed. Asking Li Mou to deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator..." Wen Jiu didn’t continue, but Heihe certainly understood the meaning.

Heihe fell silent for a few moments before standing up directly, "Give me a few days, I will return to discuss this with my senior brother."

"Alright."

Wen Jiu stood up to see him off.

Once Heihe left, Gui Yanqiu also cupped her fists respectfully towards Wen Jiu, still immersed in the shock of the East Spring Undying Bone’s thunderous display. Had Feng Jue not reminded her, she might have forgotten to retrieve the Yin Killing Submerging Array.

After Gui Yanqiu left as well, Feng Jue couldn’t help but sigh, "I always knew you’ve been holding back."

"Fellow Daoist Feng, aren’t you the same?"

Wen Jiu smiled, then said congratulations.

As for the congratulatory gift for breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Wen Jiu simply handed over a slip of paper with a line written on it.

One exemption voucher for Han Li’s breakthrough to mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The corner of Feng Jue’s mouth twitched.

Speechless.

But not surprised.

However, after Wen Jiu left, Feng Jue did not keep the slip of paper but instead, burned it directly with Spirit Fire.

At the same time, a voice resonated in his mind via Divine Sense Communication, "Senior, you see, such a person is not someone to even think about confronting, let alone actually acting against. Cultivating a good relationship with him might save my life in the future."

The voice in Feng Jue’s mind did not respond.

Chose silence.

Silence signifies acquiescence.

...

Three days later. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Heihe returned to Lengxi Mountain with news of agreement, but their senior brother, Daoist Wei, who was also one of the Vice City Lords of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, had a request, which was to kill one person.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this person is a Tribulation Cultivator with mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, who killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in our Wind and Cloud Immortal City and then went into hiding. Currently, he is hiding at a concealed location of the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect.

Senior Brother Wei has said that if you can bring back his head, ten years will be ten years. If you can accomplish this within ten days, you only need to act once every six months over the ten years. Furthermore, if by that time you find it unfeasible to accomplish our entrusted task, you can directly refuse."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu was satisfied but not overly delighted, as the ten-day period was a test.

If Wen Jiu could indeed kill a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivator hidden in darkness within ten days, it would mean his strength was far from simple and, upon completion, he would surely come under the scrutiny of the high-levels of Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

However, in order to stay in the Little Demon Realm to steadily cultivate the Three Corpses to Tier Two Peak and further nurture the Fake Pill Demon Cultivator Remains, Wen Jiu decided to perform well and strive for a Spirit Contract with the freedom to refuse commissions.

Heihe then took out a Jade Slip, "Information about the individual and concealed location are all within, but let me warn you, if you fail, you’ll have to sign a twenty-year Spirit Contract like Feng Jue."

"Alright."

Wen Jiu nodded, took the Jade Slip, and swept it with his Divine Sense, seeing the detailed information of this target.

"Shen Tu, Top-Grade Gold Attribute Spirit Root, spent sixty years building an Upper Grade Dao Foundation, and then broke through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment with twenty more years. He has been where he is now for thirty years. Exceptionally proficient in Flying Escape Techniques, possessing a Tier Two Top Grade Demon Cultivator’s Demon Artifact. Although only one mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator has died to him in thirty years, he held his ground against three middle-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks without falling behind..."

Heihe reminded, "Fellow Daoist Li, if you decide to go, be cautious of the Demon Cultivator’s Demon Artifact in his hands. The artifact is named Nine Demons Soul Destruction, which he obtained from a relic site of the Blood Demon Sect. Ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators must avoid its fierceness; extremely troublesome.

Moreover, as he is also highly proficient in Flying Escape Techniques, although we at Wind and Cloud Immortal City have sent late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they failed to succeed."

Wen Jiu cupped his fists in thanks before keeping the Jade Slip. Upon confirming the location, he bid farewell to Heihe and returned to his cave residence.

After activating the arrays around his cave, Wen Jiu directly controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to leave the Little Demon Realm.

Neither Blood Demon Undying Bone nor Three Thousand Blood Inks followed.
