"Good!"
Wen Jiu was overjoyed.
One point of experience for two hours.
Twelve hours means 6 points of experience.
Plus 6 points of experience gained from chanting the Corpse Nourishing Spell.
12 points a day.
In less than twenty days, the white corpse can turn into a black corpse!
By then, he can become a true cultivator—because the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record states that black corpses can compete with cultivators.
After the joy, Wen Jiu noticed that the daily settlement included the words Blood Transformation Body, "What is this Blood Transformation Body?"
After speaking.
Wen Jiu immediately opened his personal information panel.
[Wen Jiu]

"Is this the corpse body?" Wen Jiu noticed there was also a plus sign behind the Blood Transformation Body, and then tried to click it.
Corpse Qi decreased by 1.
Blood Transformation Body experience increased by 1.
"Blood Transformation Body only requires 100 experience, then improve the Blood Transformation Body first." Wen Jiu immediately added all the remaining 5 points.
Blood Transformation Body experience immediately came to 7 points.
...
The next day.
Wen Jiu continued to bury corpses.
No matter how hard or tiring, he didn't care, seeing those three whose aptitude far exceeded theirs and were almost predetermined to become apprentices, Wen Jiu remained indifferent. In this world, there is inherently no fairness to speak of.
Isn't a bit of corruption very normal?
Just after a night, the mindset was completely different.
Good aptitude?
Corruption?
I'm cultivating the Heterodox Dao.
No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than me?
Wen Jiu also figured it out, if he wanted to climb up and become an apprentice disciple, he might as well work on Wang Nian, after all, Wang Nian's attitude yesterday clearly showed his displeasure towards the conduct of those three.
Perhaps he could bypass the annual assessment.
After careful consideration, Wen Jiu decided to choose the path of showing off.
Concealing one's abilities is necessary.
If one wants to survive in the cultivation realm, concealing one's abilities is essential.
But since I want to climb up in the sect, to hold onto someone powerful, I can't just think about concealing my abilities, I need to show myself at critical moments.
However, this measure must be controlled well.
After figuring this out, Wen Jiu began waiting for the opportunity.
But the opportunity didn't come.
Instead, what came was a sudden increase in Yin Qi.
Yesterday, when cleaning up the remnant corpses, the place only had Yin Qi described as a thin mist, which didn't affect ordinary people much. But after one night, the Yin Qi of the place increased dramatically by four or five times.
This level of Yin Qi, once it enters the body, would at least cause discomfort for a few days, and at worst lead to a severe illness.
"Don't go over there."
Wang Nian halted everyone.
Then, with a solemn face, he walked inside. The Yin Qi avoided him as if something was blocking it. Wen Jiu looked carefully, and saw spiritual Qi circulating around Wang Nian.
It was protecting Wang Nian, keeping the Yin Qi away.
A few more moments, Wang Nian walked out of the area with increased Yin Qi, and took out a black bag from his chest with a raised hand. The bag was small, only the size of a fist, but Wang Nian pulled out a silver-colored long sword from it.
"Is this the legendary storage bag that opens Jiezhi Space and can store countless things?" Wen Jiu gazed intently.
If only he could take this to Blue Star for logistics.
Wouldn't he make a fortune?
While sighing, Wang Nian suddenly drew the sword and tossed it into the air, where with a single hand seal, the sword started to dance in the air as if it came alive.
Following that, Wang Nian took out a yellow talisman from the storage bag and tossed it into the air, accurately landing on the flying sword. The next moment, the sword buzzed and surged with the yellow talisman into the Yin Qi.
Bang!
Only a loud explosion was heard.
A wave of yellow energy swept through the Yin Qi, scattering a thirty-zhang radius of Yin Qi.
Witnessing this scene, Wen Jiu's heart could not help but surge—Is this the ability of cultivators?
"Wasting one of my Vaginal Charms, unbelievable... what are you staring at, hurry up and work!" After the sword returned to the bag, Wang Nian retreated as usual to a distance, unwilling to get close, his face full of displeasure, "Be quick about it!"
After speaking.
Everyone rushed inside.
Fearing to incur his wrath.
Wen Jiu also slowly followed, feeling somewhat regretful seeing the Yin Qi scattered by the talisman.
However, at that moment, Wen Jiu suddenly thought of something and started focusing on flipping corpses.
Intentionally or unintentionally approaching the dense Yin Qi area.
Soon.
Wen Jiu cleaned up the area ahead.
Then, taking the opportunity while Wang Nian was sitting and cultivating, began cleaning up the dense Yin Qi area, quickly clearing a space within it as well.
Just then, Wang Nian broke away from his meditation.
Intending to urge the speed of the corpse buriers, scanning around, he discovered someone actually ventured into the dense Yin Qi area.
"Idiot?"
Wang Nian hurriedly stood up.
Mixed with anger, he was about to shout for the person to come out.
But when Wen Jiu briskly pushed the cart piled with remnant corpses out of it, Wang Nian was momentarily stunned.
Looking again at the dense Yin Qi area, Wen Jiu actually cleared a space, seemingly unaffected, his complexion rosy like a young man, his spirits and energy even higher than the average corpse burier.
Wang Nian suddenly remembered, "Right... this is the guy who chose to cultivate the Heterodox Dao back then."
After speaking.
Wang Nian continued to observe from a distance as if he hadn't seen anything.
Just like that.
Observing from afar till dusk.
Looking again at Wen Jiu, after spending half a day cleaning up corpses in the dense Yin Qi area, seeing no abnormalities on his face, exclaiming inwardly, "This guy, with his inferior Spirit Root, surprisingly has some talent in cultivating the Heterodox Dao... in just a few days, he reached the point of not fearing Yin Qi."
The level of Yin Qi, if other corpse buriers worked in it for half a day, would at least cause severe illness for two days.
But Wen Jiu showed no signs.
This talent for cultivating the Heterodox Dao is indeed rare.
"This guy might actually achieve something in the Heterodox Dao." Wang Nian sighed in his heart.
Though Corpse Nurturer is Heterodox Dao.
It is still a path of cultivation.
If accomplished.
Let alone other things.
Just doing the corpse burier's work would save him a lot of trouble because the sudden increase in Yin Qi is caused by the corpses of cultivators with higher cultivation ahead.
If his Divine Sense locks onto them, if someone unfazed by Yin Qi can clear them out, he could save talismans like Vaginal Charms.
One Vaginal Charm is worth one Low-grade Spirit Stone, but he earns only thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones a month as a steward doing burial ground work.
Using one makes his heartache once.
But not using it is also unfeasible.
