Chapter 446: Chapter 231: Breaking Through to Tier Two Peak, Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core [First Update, Vote for Me!]

"Master, how much lifespan do you think your disciple has left for you to exploit?" Wen Jiu slowly revealed his true form.

Ye Chen’s expression gradually hardened, his eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe the scene before him.

Han Li is Wen Jiu, Wen Jiu is Han Li.

How is that possible?

Wen Jiu has only been cultivating for a short time!

While Ye Chen was struck dumb by shock, Wen Jiu supported him and sat him down beside him. After pouring tea and handing it over, Wen Jiu said nothing further, only waiting for Ye Chen to slowly calm his emotions.

Ye Chen took the tea, looking at Wen Jiu, trying to speak but stopping, saying "this" three times before falling silent again. Just as Wen Jiu patiently waited, Ye Chen, seemingly calmed, immediately cast a Silencing Spell on himself.

Wen Jiu did not stop him, because even if Ye Chen didn’t do it himself, he would have done it, even if Ye Chen was deserving of trust.

"Thank you, Elder Wen!" After a long time, Ye Chen set down the tea cup in his hand, quickly rose, and gave Wen Jiu a respectful bow.

Wen Jiu noticed that Ye Chen’s eyes were full of astonishment, but no longer held the affection that he once viewed Wen Jiu with, replaced by a respect. A respect a weaker person has for a stronger one, even if Wen Jiu was still referred to as Master.

"Master, there’s no need to be so courteous. The favor of imparting lessons is greater than the heavens; these things are simply what I should do."

"If I could ask Elder... all past events would make sense." Ye Chen felt infinite emotion and infinite joy at this moment.

Thinking back now, he should have realized earlier, who, apart from the closest people around him, would be willing to repeatedly help them.

Yet when he looked at Wen Jiu again, his heart could not settle.

Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

When did Wen Jiu enter Feixian Peak?

As he pondered, Wen Jiu spoke again, "Master, you should call me Fellow Daoist Wen in future, there’s no need for the term Elder Wen."

In the Cultivation Realm, strength defines seniority.

Even if past relations were extremely close.

But in Wen Jiu’s view, it wasn’t necessary, though he understood well that having Ye Chen call him "Wen" was absolutely unrealistic. Since that’s the case, calling him Fellow Daoist Wen works, since they’re both at Foundation Establishment, it fits.

"Fellow Daoist Wen..." Ye Chen slowly opened his mouth, feeling rather apprehensive.

Wen Jiu nodded.

Returned with "Master."

You call me Fellow Daoist Wen.

I call you Master.

Each adhering to their own title.

After some more polite conversation, Ye Chen took his leave, but even as he left for some time, his heart still could not find peace. But, to be honest, even half a year after Wen Jiu’s departure, Ye Chen was the same.

Because today’s scene made him truly amazed.

In the following days, Wen Jiu concealed his identity in Wind and Cloud Immortal City, staying for some time, leaving behind some Tier One and Tier Two Lower Grade Elixir Pills from Donghe Li to Ye Chen and the others.

These things held little value to him, and he was too lazy to sell them off, but leaving them for Ye Chen and the others was just right.

After staying a few days, Wen Jiu settled his feelings, relegated past events to the background, and left Wind and Cloud Immortal City with a Blood Corpse Escape.

Before the Golden Core level war concluded in the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu decided to go to the Traceless Mountain Range to fully cultivate Blood Corpse Mushrooms and help East Spring Undying Bone reach Tier Two Peak. A Tier Two Peak East Spring Undying Bone wouldn’t fear Fake Pills, although it might still be at a disadvantage against True Pill Cultivators, it would be far more composed facing Three Karmic Demon.

Crossing through the Traceless Mountain Range shouldn’t be a problem, but the most issues remain with Hundred Floating Domains and Silent Abyss.

For East Spring Undying Bone to condense a Golden Core, it needs to cross the tribulation, which also requires an extremely powerful Tier Three Yin Vein or Land of Death. But according to the Demon Soul’s memory, Tier Three Yin Veins are mostly occupied by Golden Core level influences, so Wen Jiu plans to have East Spring Undying Bone search for Innate Death Land or Acquired Death Land.

Such Lands of Death helpful to East Spring Undying Bone condensing a Golden Core are plentiful in Silent Abyss, but are perilous.

However, one advantage is that there are no peers.

Compared to the dangers within the Lands of Death, Wen Jiu is more concerned with the unpredictable hearts of cultivators, and he’s even more unwilling to let the matter of crossing the tribulation become public.

Because according to the Demon Soul’s memory, whether it’s Undying Bone or External Foundation Establishment Items, they’re treasures that would drive Heterodox Golden Core cultivators crazy in the Hundred Floating Domains, thus caution is paramount.

"This matter can be slowly explored once East Spring Undying Bone reaches the Silent Abyss; there’s no rush. The current urgent task is to first elevate it to Tier Two Peak." Wen Jiu used Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and headed straight for the Traceless Mountain Range. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

During this, he bypassed the battlefield of Eastern Heterodox Influence and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks vassals. Compared to the gruesomeness in the Far West, this battlefield was somewhat better, yet still like an enormous meat grinder.

Below Foundation Establishment, survival is slim.

Foundation Establishment cultivators often face demise.

Only Golden Core cultivators sit comfortably at the moment.

...

Two days later.

Wen Jiu and East Spring Undying Bone entered the Traceless Mountain Range. Without accounting for the position of Three Karmic Demon using Corpse Fate Technique, they intentionally avoided it. Then used Corpse Fate Technique for predictions, determining several ideal Acquired Death Lands for planting Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

Acquired Death Lands are formed from post-natural events, mostly due to large battles, although they lack the Innate Death Qi, the blood and death energies are plentiful, making them very suited for planting Blood Corpse Mushrooms and Corpse Nourishing.

The effects are certainly weaker than in the Little Demon Realm, but currently there are no other options. Fortunately, the Gathering Yin Poison Technique has reached Small Success Realm. Coupled with the improvement in cultivation, originally producing a hundred catties of Yin Poison in ten days, now takes five days.

The monthly Tier Two Lower Grade Corpse Mushroom cultivating capacity has doubled. Although the effect is not as potent as in the Little Demon Realm, maintaining the previous rate of three corpses a month is certainly no problem.

Three corpses a month.
