Chapter 94: Chapter 94 - 76: Three Evil Corpses of the Middle Realm, Heading to the Main Peak
Along the way, Wen Jiu also went to the trading market to buy some protective talismans, both Tier One Lower Grade and Tier One Middle Grade, as well as some cultivation elixirs.
He spent several hundred Spirit Stones.
But for Wen Jiu now, these are minor issues.
Protective talismans, unlike attack talismans, if your strength is insufficient, even if you forcibly activate with Divine Sense and Magical Power, the enemy’s fate is uncertain, but if you get caught in it, you will undoubtedly die.
But forcibly activating a protective talisman is fine.
When he handed over so many talismans to his sister, Wen Ya, she was shocked. After all, even if she hadn’t seen them before, she had heard of their value. A single talisman was equivalent to her monthly salary.
A Tier One Middle-Grade Talisman or Tier One Middle-Grade Elixir equates to her annual salary with just one sheet or one bottle.
Holding them, she felt a heat in her hands.
Like holding a mountain of money.
"This is too much. How can I not live in dread even in my dreams?" Having hundreds of Spirit Stones already made her quite anxious, but fortunately, with her brother’s now special status, she was less worried.
But to suddenly give her so many things, she had heard that outside the sect, those Loose Cultivators and Tribulation Cultivators might kill for just a few Low-grade Spirit Stones. If such a quantity were known, who knows what tragic outcome might occur.
Wen Jiu explained, "That’s why there are many protective talismans. With your current strength, Steward Mu and the others certainly won’t let you leave the sect, so you can rest assured and cultivate peacefully within the sect."
"But..." Wen Ya wanted to express her inner fears, but Wen Jiu interrupted directly.
"No need to worry, sis, I’m here for you," Wen Jiu comforted her.
To be honest.
He also considered this before, but after thinking it over, he still decided to buy them.
After all, in terms of bloodline, she is his last relative in this world, and he had no intention of finding a Dao partner, so who else would he buy for if not for his sister?
Once he joins Elder Ye’s tutelage, whether it’s the Side Peak Elders or Stewards, they will definitely take good care of Sister Wen Ya, and no one in the sect would dare to covet these things.
At Wen Jiu’s repeated reassurance, Sister Wen Ya finally calmed down and carefully put the items into her storage bag, as if afraid the bottle holding the elixirs might break, "Alright, I’ll keep them."
Once stored in the storage ring, Wen Ya couldn’t help but sigh, "Kids of those stewards, can they have so many resources?"
"Probably not," Wen Jiu smiled but said nothing more.
Not to mention the stewards.
Even the stewards’ own children couldn’t possibly have so many resources.
Exaggeratedly saying, even the elders’ children likely don’t.
Unless that elder is on the brink of death, and sees no hope for self-improvement, so they save all Spirit Stones to nurture the younger generation.
...
In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.
The Side Peak examination gradually concluded, and Wen Jiu only went to observe on the last day. He won twenty rounds, ranking second among the apprentice disciples. Unsurprisingly, he passed the examination, with half his foot already on the main peak.
Right after the examination ended, Ye Chen gave twenty people a night’s distance, stating they would head to Deadman Peak’s main peak the next morning.
Very sudden.
But Wen Jiu was not surprised.
That night, Wen Jiu did not go to the Corpse Remains Death Land, and after attending Feixian Peak’s banquet, he went to see Liu Xiao, removing all the Law-Devouring Yin Insects from Liu Xiao’s Dantian, then went to see Mu Canglong.
After all, Mu Canglong had granted him the grace of imparting enlightenment.
A kindness as heavy as a mountain.
Before setting off, Wen Jiu had no reason not to pay a visit.
Unexpectedly, on this day, Mu Canglong gave Wen Jiu another piece of information, regarding the main peak examination.
"I don’t know much, but I learned that the current main peak examination is conducted within a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, which is said to have been the cultivation cave mansion of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so it is full of mechanisms, very dangerous. This is also why the main peak announcement stated there was a risk of death."
Mu Canglong spoke candidly.
Wen Jiu listened attentively, also understanding one thing.
If he didn’t personally come to bid farewell to Mu Canglong today, Mu Canglong probably wouldn’t have told him this news.
"Thank you, Steward Mu!" Wen Jiu expressed gratitude again, "Once I achieve something at the main peak, I will surely repay the grace of imparting enlightenment generously."
"We’ll talk about that later. If I wanted your repayment, I wouldn’t have given you those things. But you must be careful yourself. If at the main peak without a patron, it’s still very difficult. After all, the main peak suffered the most from heterodox stabs back in the day, and everyone has lost relatives to heterodox cultivators’ hands more or less. Plus, with the current Celestial Left Alliance causing all kinds of trouble, the main peak’s discrimination against heterodox followers is more severe than the side peak."
Mu Canglong advised furthermore, gesturing for Wen Jiu to leave.
Wen Jiu didn’t say much further, saluting before departing directly.
Before leaving, Wen Jiu and his sister went to pay respects to the original parents, after all, it was due to the parents’ sacrifice that the original could enter the cultivation realm.
After handling everything properly, Wen Jiu returned home to sip a little wine with Wang Nian in the courtyard.
...
After midnight.
Today’s accounting was distributed.
The Tier One Superior Giant Python corpses were all transformed into corpse blood, and the Three Evil Corpses were smoothly elevated to the Middle Realm.
The Blood Transformation Body needed 40 more experience points to reach the fifth level, so Wen Jiu simply consumed the remaining 40 points of essence blood to enhance it.
[Three Evil Corpses—Corpse Nourishing in progress (Middle Realm 45/4000)]
[Black Zombie Skills: Blood Transformation Body Fifth Layer (0/4000)]
Up to this point.
The strength of the Three Evil Corpses increased once again.
If he encounters a cultivator like Gong Chi at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer again, the Three Evil Corpses will no longer need to rely on ambushes to kill him.
