Chapter 370: Chapter 195: Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute, Three Life Gates of Wusheng in the Future

But when the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute blocks the assassination disaster, what is harmed is the Corpse Soul, not Wen Jiu’s soul.

Of course.

It is unknown whether this method will work.

However, it might be worth trying. If it does work, using the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute to bear the assassination disaster on his behalf will no longer have any worries. Said and done, Wen Jiu had Three Thousand Blood Inks begin recognizing the master with the Corpse Soul.

After three days, the master recognition succeeded.

At the end of each day, the information of the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute appeared in the information panel of Three Thousand Blood Inks.

[Skills: Corpse Fate Technique (Introduction 4005/5000), Yin Sha True Spirit Body·Tier Two (Lower Stage 0/20000), Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute·Tier Two Top Grade (0/100000)]

Feeling the bond on the soul, Wen Jiu’s gaze fell on the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute who had already opened its eyes. Now, the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute entirely resembles him, just like Wen Jiu’s aura, with no difference, and can even speak and be controlled just like he controls the Three Corpses.

"This way, if it’s necessary to kill someone and act personally, the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute can be placed in front of people to create an alibi." Thinking this, Wen Jiu immediately controlled the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute to leave the cave and headed directly to the cultivation land of Feng Jue.

On the surface, it’s to check on Feng Jue’s health, but in reality, it’s to complete the test with Feng Jue, especially since Feng Jue has a powerful soul within him. If he can’t detect the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute, that would be truly excellent.

However, upon arriving at Feng Jue’s cave, Heihe happened to visit. Seeing Wen Jiu, Heihe raised his hand in salute, with a smile and no abnormal expression, "Fellow Daoist Li, I actually wanted to find you, but didn’t expect you to come first."

Saying this, Heihe took out a bottle with special elixir fragrance radiating from it, and just smelling it revealed its grade. Definitely Tier Two Middle Grade and quite valuable. Heihe is unexpectedly so generous?

"This is a Healing Elixir from Senior Brother Wei for Fellow Daoist, along with a message. If the injury doesn’t affect Corpse Nourishing, Fellow Daoist should hurry up." Heihe then whispered, "Fellow Daoist Li, it’s not necessary to rush Corpse Nourishing; it’s better to wait until fully healed."

Wen Jiu nodded, accepted the elixir, and thanked him, intending to meet Feng Jue. But he realized Heihe finding Feng Jue alone likely involves something that shouldn’t be witnessed, so immediately gave his farewell salute.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Heihe." Wen Jiu controlled the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute to bid goodbye without giving much thought to Heihe’s whisper.

Because if the progress of Corpse Nourishing slows down, Daoist Wei would definitely not blame Heihe but rather someone unrelated like him.

As for spying on Heihe and Feng Jue’s conversation, Wen Jiu had no such intention, knowing well that whatever elixir Heihe brought Feng Jue must be better, or Heihe wouldn’t have seen Feng Jue alone.

But the scene of meeting Heihe was still memorable. Before seeing Wen Jiu, Heihe’s expression seemed not too joyful, as if visiting Feng Jue wasn’t a happy task.

...

In the following days, Wen Jiu continued to cultivate as usual while also trying to nurture the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute.

But upgrading Tier Two Top Grade to Tier Three isn’t simple, even following Yan Zhen’s nurturing method provides little experience. Moreover, nurturing the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute requires many rare resources, making it expensive, so Wen Jiu temporarily shelved this, prioritizing Corpse Nourishing instead.

During this time, news of Yan Zhen’s death was explosively spreading, becoming known throughout the Little Demon Realm. According to Eastern Celestial City’s secret transmission, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks has dispatched many Foundation Establishment Cultivators to investigate, with accusations pointing towards the Vice City Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Daoist Wei.

Upon knowing this, Daoist Wei was furious and immediately declared that Yan Zhen’s death had nothing to do with him.

However, due to the pursuit incident involving the two Cyan Face elders, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks refused to believe him, further bringing out Qu Wuyi to demand accountability from Daoist Wei. Helplessly, Daoist Wei counterattacked furiously, defeating three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, even pushing back Perfection Cultivators.

Meanwhile, Daoist Wei offered a bounty for the assassination of Yan Zhen’s Ghost Cultivator, trying to clear his name.

Wen Jiu was quite satisfied with this outcome, as long as no attention was directed at him, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks can suspect anyone else.

Simultaneously, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks withdrew the bounty on Feng Jue on the same day, causing quite a stir within their ranks. Discovering that Feng Jue is an Earth Yang Dao Foundation and favored by Pei Wuxing, the cultivators in the Divine Fall Mountain Range felt both envious and impressed, especially the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were vassals.

Just several days passed, Feng Jue left Lengxi Mountain, and when returning, he became the sixteenth True Disciple of the Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s Lord, Pei Wuxing, instantly elevating his status from Loose Cultivator to core of Wind and Cloud Immortal City. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Though Feng Jue didn’t leave Lengxi Mountain.

In the following days, no celebration was held nor any grandiosity done, yet Left Path Evil Cultivators and Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s cultivators continuously came to congratulate, with Wen Jiu sending a Tier Two Middle Grade Yin Talisman across. After delivering it, he continued quietly with Corpse Nourishing as if that lively affair was unrelated to him.

But unexpectedly, several days later, Feng Jue visited with three servants. Those servants each carried boxes radiating rich Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine scent.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, what does this mean?" Wen Jiu was quite surprised because he sensed the aura of two Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine, each alone worth double the Tier Two Middle Grade Yin Talisman he sent.

"Fellow Daoist needs Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine, but given the market situation, it’s hard to find so I brought some to thank Fellow Daoist for previous help." Feng Jue quickly instructed the servants to offer the Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine, without giving Wen Jiu a chance to refuse.

Using Divine Sense to probe, Wen Jiu discovered ten Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines, and two Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines.

Its value is terrifying, especially considering it being rare in the market, making these twelve Yin Evil Spirit Medicines surpass the wealth of ninety-nine percent of Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators as a whole. Feng Jue genuinely offers them courteously?

Thanking for help?

Not as simple as that.

"I can’t accept, it’s too precious." Too valuable, Wen Jiu really hesitated to receive them.

Feng Jue didn’t seem surprised, as anyone seeing so many Yin Evil Spiritual Medicines would surely be intimidated. Even someone as strong as Han Li would likely feel no exception. His reasons for bringing so many Yin Evil Spiritual Medicines though involved various considerations, the most significant being to maintain a good relationship with Wen Jiu.

Not only is it because the senior inside his body values Wen Jiu highly, it’s also due to Wen Jiu being his sole trustworthy friend currently. Plus, considering his External Foundation Establishment ability, investing when Wen Jiu most needs Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine is wiser than later, when Wen Jiu doesn’t need them anymore.

"Fellow Daoist can comfortably accept them. Feng doesn’t need any help from Fellow Daoist, it’s simply wanting to assist." Feng Jue added, "If Fellow Daoist is reluctant, consider it a loan, repayable upon your achievement of Heterodox Golden Core."

Hearing this, Wen Jiu thoroughly understood Feng Jue’s intentions, so ceased rejecting, taking all the Yin Evil Spiritual Medicines since cultivating the Earth Demon and Ghost-faced Butcher requires substantial Yin Evil Spiritual Medicine.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Feng then." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel that Feng Jue truly knows how to conduct himself.

Owing to these Yin Evil Spiritual Medicines, should Feng Jue encounter trouble next time, it would be difficult for him to refuse assistance.

Never mind.

If a debt must be owed, so be it.

With all that’s transpired, setting aside past matters, Feng Jue now genuinely seems like a worthy friend.

After Wen Jiu accepted, Feng Jue abruptly gestured for the servants to withdraw, then erected a Sound Insulation Barrier around, "Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Shankui sent word, Wusheng Three Gates will launch attacks from Far North and Far West simultaneously within a month, with Deadman Peak being the first Far West force to face the assault."
