Chapter 382: Chapter 201: Reunion with an Old Friend, Gathering Yin Poison Technique

Upon hearing the secret revealed by Yue Yinrong, Wen Jiu’s interest increased somewhat. However, he didn’t immediately agree, but he also didn’t show any intent to refuse, harboring a faint desire to take a look. Of course, it wasn’t him who would go, but the Blood Demon Undying Bone.

Upon returning to the Little Demon Realm this time, he definitely had matters to attend to himself and wouldn’t go out, even if there was nothing to attend to, he wouldn’t go out. Even if it was something to do with Deadman Peak, he would let East Spring Undying Bone handle it, while he focused entirely on planting Corpse Mushrooms and nurturing corpses.

Naturally, he wouldn’t always shut himself away blindly. In the past, he had no choice, but now that the Three Corpses have taken shape, he could occasionally send the Blood Demon Undying Bone out to seek some opportunities. With the strong corpse body of the Blood Demon Undying Bone, even facing late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators he wouldn’t be afraid; if unable to win, escaping would certainly be possible.

Moreover, there were two corpses and him in the Little Demon Realm helping to remotely replenish corpse energy, who below the Golden Core would have enough magical power to pursue the Blood Demon Undying Bone? Even a perfection cultivator with two dantians would not be able to, right?

"Fellow Daoist isn’t intending to invite Han Mou to assist in exploring the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, are you?" Wen Jiu commanded the Blood Demon Undying Bone to transmit the message.

Yue Yinrong nodded, not denying it.

Wen Jiu was silent for a moment, shook his head, and transmitted the message back, "Not interested for now, but if Fellow Daoist still requires me to press the formation, it’s possible, although additional spirit stones would be necessary. Given that it involves the Blood Demon Sect, ten thousand spirit stones surely aren’t sufficient."

"You really are asking a hefty price." Yue Yinrong pretended to be angry but did not turn to leave directly, "Adding spirit stones is possible, but there’s no need for Fellow Daoist to press the formation, just need Fellow Daoist to assist me to smoothly enter the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu instantly understood that perhaps now it wasn’t just two groups vying for the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion.

But many.

"Thirty thousand."

Wen Jiu stated a price not low for a common Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he wasn’t exactly aiming to earn those spirit stones.

He simply wanted to gauge Yue Yinrong’s underlying assets, to see the significance of the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion to Yue Yinrong.

Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones would be considered a large sum for a common early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, especially for a loose cultivator like Yue Yinrong.

But Wen Jiu hadn’t expected Yue Yinrong to agree so straightforwardly, "Alright!"

Wen Jiu added another sentence, "If one encounters an unbeatable adversary or simply finds oneself unable to accomplish it, then the thirty thousand spirit stones won’t be refunded."

"This..."

Yue Yinrong hesitated.

"If you’ve decided, you can transmit to me." Wen Jiu commanded the Blood Demon Undying Bone to turn and leave, unwilling to linger excessively in Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

"Let me think about it." Yue Yinrong didn’t immediately agree, clearly indicating that she wasn’t entirely able to accept Wen Jiu’s terms. Since if she couldn’t ensure her entry into the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, then those spirit stones would be better spent elsewhere.

Yet, she also truly couldn’t find a more powerful loose cultivator than a corpse cultivator to help, which was quite worrying.

Involvement with opportunities related to the Blood Demon Sect wasn’t something to be underestimated, thus was something she couldn’t bear to just abandon.

.........

Traveling all the way southwest.

Wen Jiu harnessed the Demon Corpse to envelop Wen Ya and another with corpse energy while traveling, again skirting the perilous Wilderness to enter the Far South. Along the way, encountered a Tier Two Middle Grade Great Demon comparable to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the Demon Corpse used its corpse body to withstand the demon’s body, directly colliding and resolving it. As for people from the Hidden Kill Sect, Wen Jiu didn’t encounter them again.

After quietly bringing Mu Chang’an and Wen Ya back to Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu set up two new cave dwellings a hundred feet away from his own. Wen Jiu arranged arrays in both new cave dwellings to isolate Yin Evil Qi, the one thoroughly isolated since his sister Wen Ya wasn’t a heterodox cultivator, the other isolating ninety percent.

Meanwhile, Wen Jiu went to the Hidden Pavilion and purchased a Tier Two Lower Grade Exorcism Robe, allowing his sister Wen Ya to be completely free from the infiltration of Yin Evil Qi within Lengxi Mountain. This way, she could freely move around Lengxi Mountain.

After settling the two, Wen Jiu began cultivating the Gathering Yin Poison Technique exchanged from the Chen Li couple and also checked the breeding methods for the Spirit Stealing Insect.

As for the Gathering Yin Poison Technique, it wasn’t difficult for Wen Jiu to cultivate, merely requiring the Spirit Body to withstand the Yin Poison formed from Yin Evil Qi, as well as a large amount of Yin Evil Qi invasion.

Feng Jue was not a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator, so he could only solve it by cultivating a toxic body, but Wen Jiu didn’t need to bother so much. With the Corpse Nurturer’s panel, Wen Jiu naturally wasn’t afraid of Yin Evil Qi, and as for the Yin Poison formed from absorbing Yin Evil Qi through the Gathering Yin Poison Technique, his Tier Two Yin Sha True Spirit Body likewise wasn’t afraid.

What surprised Wen Jiu more was the Gathering Yin Poison Technique itself, because the Demon Soul’s soul memory contained this technique. Of course, it wasn’t the Gathering Yin Poison Technique, but another Demon Sect technique, the Blood Demon Sect’s Evil Spirit Cultivator Secret Technique, which could nurture and grow a large quantity of Tier Two Yin Evil Spirit Medicines in a short time.

Though its effect was less than half that of normal Tier Two Yin Evil Spirit Medicines, ordinary Yin Evil Spirit Medicine requires ten or twenty years to reach Tier Two, while the Demon Sect Secret Technique’s Tier Two requires possibly only a year’s time.

The Gathering Yin Poison Technique seems more like its weakened version, condensing Yin Poison not being as exaggerated as the Demon Sect Secret Technique, but to Wen Jiu, this Gathering Yin Poison Technique was more useful than the Demon Sect’s Evil Spirit Cultivator Secret Technique.

Because the Demon Sect’s Secret Technique requires slaughter, using the slaughter to condense demonic qi, then using the demonic qi to cultivate Yin Evil Spirit Medicine. Despite the Demon Soul’s soul memory having this secret technique, Wen Jiu couldn’t practice it; doing so would estimate opening a hundred alternate identities, even ten Undying Bones wouldn’t suffice, the risk would be full-severe.

And the Gathering Yin Poison Technique only requires gathering the Yin Evil Qi entirely, using the body as a furnace to condense Yin Poison. The more Yin Poison, the finer the quality, the better the cultivating effect of the Yin Evil Spirit Medicine.

A hundred jins of pure Yin Poison could promote a normal Tier One Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine to Tier Two Lower Grade.

Yet condensing hundred jins isn’t simple, common Foundation Establishment evil cultivators wouldn’t dare to condense so much in a short period. Because the hundred jins of Yin Poison might not be condensed, the person could be poisoned to death first.

Nonetheless, Wen Jiu has no such concerns, in other words, as long as there’s enough Yin Evil Qi, and the Yin Sha True Spirit Body can endure, then continuous condensation of Yin Poison is possible. As for the limit the Yin Sha True Spirit Body can endure, it’s hard to determine at the moment and can only be judged after trying.

Regarding the Spirit Stealing Insect’s breeding method, the Demon Soul’s soul memory contains it, which is indeed quite straightforward, using heavenly materials and earthly treasures of wood and water attributes for nourishment, nothing special, yet the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for its breeding constitute a bottomless pit.

The Spirit Stealing Insect’s rarity, in some sense, stems from this reason, because common Foundation Establishment cultivators find it difficult even to breed it to Tier Two. Large sect’s late-stage Foundation Establishment or perfection cultivators might have the means.

Wen Jiu doesn’t have much need for the Spirit Stealing Insect; his divine sense can easily penetrate the spirit array and sound insulation barriers, courtesy of the Three Corpses’ amplification, so there’s no need for spending vast resources to breed what’s called a Spirit Stealing Insect.

However, the Spirit Stealing Insect, something not easily sold, and those who possess it are very few, once openly sold, it would surely attract the attention of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, so the best way is to sell to acquaintances, and they need to be acquaintances capable of purchasing a Spirit Stealing Insect, Feng Jue might be the best choice.

Just as Wen Jiu was pondering this, Feng Jue happened to seek him out and saw Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an.

Wen Ya at Qi Cultivation First Layer, and Mu Chang’an similarly at Qi Cultivation First Layer, such small cultivators are bottom tier wherever placed, similar to mortals. These people happened to have cave dwellings opened beside Han Li’s, and that Qi Cultivation First Layer female cultivator wore a Tier Two Exorcism Robe.

"Quite remarkable."

"But indeed looking rather good."

"I thought Fellow Daoist Han’s heart was truly made of iron, entirely disinterested in female cultivators."

Feng Jue couldn’t help but express such sentiment inwardly, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an observed this, promptly emerging to pay their respects, as both had already learned from Wen Jiu about the situation in Lengxi Mountain and the Little Demon Realm. Foundation Establishment cultivators everywhere, even mid-stage and late-stage ones.

In other words, whomever they encountered required utmost courtesy.

Feng Jue nodded, gazing at Mu Chang’an for a while.

"Could that boy be..."

"Hmm?"

"Nope."

"Doesn’t exactly resemble, does he?"
