"By the way, Brother Li, isn’t it said that crafting Talisman Treasures can damage Magical Treasures? How co the Talismans of the Skyscape Shuttle..." Ji Yuan hesitated.
"After Magical Treasures are damaged, they can be repaired. Just find a Golden Core Zhenren to craft a Talisman Treasure. If they refuse, it’s most likely because you didn’t pay enough. Fortunately, the Golden Core Zhenren who owns the Skyscape Shuttle is easily persuaded with the right price."
Li Changhe explained with a smile.
"I see."
After so more casual conversation, Ji Yuan finally suggested that it was ti for him to leave.
Li Changhe made so appropriate attempts to keep him, but eventually saw Ji Yuan off the Li Family Island.
A banquet where both host and guest were pleased.
After leaving Li Family Island, Ji Yuan first made a trip to Wan You Island to recount the entire journey to Hua Yaoyue, including Brother Li’s gift of enlightennt and Li Changhe’s gift of the Talisman Treasure.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yaoyue simply said, "It’s fine," and then let Ji Yuan take his leave.
With this matter settled.
Ji Yuan didn’t linger at the Water Dragon Sect but instead, headed first to Red Leaf City before returning to Mist Island.
Over the past few months, he had been placing orders for the corpses of Qi Cultivation Cultivators in several cities around Cloud Rain Marsh to create his own "corpse raising grounds."
The previous deliveries were still not sufficient.
So a while ago he placed another order in Red Leaf City, thinking that it might be around a dozen more.
Adding these should be enough.
A short ten days later, Ji Yuan, having collected the bodies from Red Leaf City, returned to Mist Island and buried them in the "corpse raising grounds" as before.
After a mont, the forest, eerie with Yin qi, still showed no text.
"It shouldn’t be like this. I’ve buried probably over a hundred corpses by now; it can’t possibly still be insufficient," Ji Yuan muttered at the fenced forest.
"Could it be that a tombstone is required?"
He sprang into action, using the Purple Lightning Flying Sword to cut several planks, randomly placing them on the graves of so corpses.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan seed to sense sothing.
Looking up, he saw that finally, a line of white text, visible only to him, appeared above the trees.
However, the newly generated structure was not the "corpse raising grounds" Ji Yuan had expected.
Its na was the "Chaotic Burial Mound"!
The text floating above read "Chaotic Burial Mound: lv0."
Ji Yuan imdiately summoned the interface and located this newly generated structure.
"Chaotic Burial Mound: lv0 (Upgradeable)"
The next line showed the Spirit Effect of the level 1 Chaotic Burial Mound.
"Chaotic Burial Mound: lv1"
"Spirit Effect: Yin qi density 100%; the more corpses buried, the denser the Yin qi."
"Upgrade Conditions: Bury the corpses of 10 Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators. (Achieved)"
A straightforward and powerful Spirit Effect.
It could directly double the Yin qi of the area.
The upgrade conditions were simple, no longer requiring greed for my Spirit Stones; all it took was burying bodies... that’s damned good.
With a thought, Ji Yuan chose to upgrade.
Going from 0 to 1, aside from a slight flash on the interface, the structure itself showed no unusual phenona.
Ji Yuan continued to look at the Spirit Effect and upgrade conditions for level 2 of the "Chaotic Burial Mound."
"Chaotic Burial Mound: lv2"
"Spirit Effect 1: Yin qi density 200%; there is a small chance of corpse transformation, turning into Corpse Puppets for you to control."
"Spirit Effect 2 (Death Realm Revival): The Chaotic Burial Mound can consu corpses to enhance the realm of the Corpse Puppets."
"Upgrade Conditions: Bury 100 Qi Cultivation Stage bodies, 10 Peak of Qi Refining bodies, and 1 Foundation Establishnt Stage body. (Not Achieved)"
The level 2 "Chaotic Burial Mound" actually had two Spirit Effects?!
Especially the second one.
Death Realm Revival, capable of consuming corpses to enhance Corpse Puppet’s realm.
Doesn’t this an that Tu Yue can be saved?
Her realm at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation could finally continue to break through, and this "Chaotic Burial Mound" could even directly produce Corpse Puppets for my use... this saves a lot of trouble.
Realizing this, Ji Yuan saw there was nothing more to say.
This "Chaotic Burial Mound" must be upgraded quickly, and furthermore, it primarily doesn’t require the consumption of Spirit Stones to level up.
The bodies of Qi Cultivation Stage are easy; they can be bought.
Even the Peak of Qi Refining is attainable.
It’s just the Foundation Establishnt Stage corpses... the informants I found earlier were just at the Qi Cultivation Stage; buying a Foundation Establishnt Stage corpse would at least require finding a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator.
Ji Yuan recalled the Yang Family Patriarch he had killed earlier, regrettably, without taking his body.
But I didn’t foresee its usefulness back then...
If I do the killing myself, Ji Yuan feels confident. He’s capable of defeating a Foundation Establishnt beginner, but still lacks a suitable target.
He can’t just kill for the sake of killing.
After much thought, Ji Yuan decided to spend the money.
Fighting through magical combat carries risk.
Buying with Flower Spirit Stones also carries risks but much smaller ones... besides, Spirit Stones, I’ve plenty!
Having road around outside for several circles, Ji Yuan had no plans to go out anyti soon and decided to cultivate first, after all, Cultivation requires a balance between effort and rest.
That night.
After Tu Yue finished handling various matters on the island, Ji Yuan invited her to the "Chaotic Burial Mound."
For this purpose, Ji Yuan even built her a ho... digging a pit in the ground and carving a massive stone into the shape of a coffin, even lining it with a mattress and placing a pillow inside.
At night.
Ji Yuan watched as Tu Yue lay in the coffin.
The next morning, upon waking, he found that Tu Yue’s complexion had indeed improved significantly. Corpses should indeed lie among corpses; spending ti with the living simply wouldn’t do.
In the following period.
Ji Yuan first spent half a month reading the "Sword Manual" insights, gaining a clearer understanding of forming a sword embryo. Then he busied himself with talisman painting and alchemy for half a month.
A month of diligent cultivation at ho.
Ji Yuan finally decided to venture out and attempt to purchase a Foundation Establishnt Stage corpse.
