Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Panel Upgrade

Panel upgrade!

Starting tomorrow, all experience gained is doubled!

With daily settlements of double experience, won't my progress in this unconventional path skyrocket once more?

Currently, without using Corpse Nourishing Spell to cultivate Black Corpse, only supplemented by Corpse Nourishing Pearl, Black Corpse gains 18 experience points daily. In these ten days, combined with capturing Yin Souls, Black Corpse's experience points have reached 250/500.

The remaining 250 points of experience would normally take about thirteen more days, but what if the experience points are doubled.

No more than seven days!

No more than seven days, and the Black Corpse can reach Middle Realm from its initial stage.

Even if it reaches Middle Realm, supplemented by Blood Transformation Body Second Layer, it won't fear encountering Yin Soul Ghost Cultivators at night.

Take today's catch for instance.

At the peak of night, Black Corpse can easily be subdued.

Moreover, under double experience, Blood Transformation Body can quickly advance, currently the Blood Transformation Body experience is 120/1000.

If I want to step into the Third Layer without using Cultivator Essence Blood, it would still take about seventy-three days.

Once the double experience is gained, then only about thirty-six days will be needed!

Thirty-six days.

Blood Transformation Body steps into Third Layer!

Wen Jiu thinks about it and feels terrified.

Considering the effectiveness of dealing with Yin Souls at the moment, Blood Transformation Body Second Layer can definitely break ordinary Yin Souls comparable to Qi Cultivation Second Layer, once it steps into the Third Layer, even ghost cultivators comparable to Qi Cultivation Third Layer might be powerless.

On a larger scale.

Qi Cultivation Third Layer cultivators, like Li Ye, Wang Nian, will probably be unable to cause any real harm.

Of course.

Provided no specific techniques and talismans are used against corpses.

Although currently unaware if these techniques or talismans would restrain the Black Corpse's Blood Transformation Body, Wen Jiu assumes they would.

In this way.

He won't be reckless.

Won't underestimate.

Cultivation.

Requires caution.

Unconventional path.

Requires even more caution!

...

Wen Jiu's gaze immediately falls on the personal panel, and there appears a new skill in the Black Corpse skills section.

[Black Corpse Skills: Blood Transformation Body Second Layer (120/1000) + Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment Beginner (0/100) +]

Followed by the introduction.

[Three Rivers Ghost Concealment·Ghost Skill]

[This corpse and ghost are different, the two methods are not compatible, but the transformed Black Corpse is not a typical Black Corpse, so it can transform corpse aura and Yin aura into ghost aura, thus perform ghost skills. Three Rivers Ghost Concealment is divided into three layers, reaching the third layer allows long-term concealment of the corpse body in darkness and daylight, masking its breath, altering its aura, silencing its sound, ordinary cultivators cannot detect, hidden-breaking techniques and talismans cannot break.]

"Ghost skill!"

Wen Jiu stares at the information panel, lost in thought.

He truly didn't expect, after devouring the Yin Soul Ghost Cultivator, to receive such a surprise.

It seems his daytime strategy of seeking Yin Souls while feigning weakness was spot on, otherwise it would have easily escaped.

Following that.

Wen Jiu looks at the "+" sign behind.

It can still be enhanced.

Wen Jiu immediately clicks.

Corpse aura -1

[Corpse Aura surplus: 119]

"Fortunately, I've cultivated the habit of saving up."

Wen Jiu immediately fills up the beginner experience of one hundred points.

Three Rivers Ghost Concealment instantly steps into the First Layer.

[Black Corpse Skills: Blood Transformation Body Second Layer (120/1000) + Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment First Layer (0/500) +]

...

The next day.

Wen Jiu eagerly goes deeper into the Corpse Remains Death Land with Black Corpse to test the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.

When Wen Jiu's thoughts move, the surging corpse aura instantly transforms into a sinister black ghost aura, bringing Black Corpse into invisibility.

Even at close range.

If not for Spirit Communication.

Wen Jiu couldn't sense its presence either, even Divine Sense sweeps over, detecting nothing.

Quite absurd.

The most fearsome part is, after Black Corpse uses ghost skills, its entire corpse aura actually turns into ghost aura.

Wrapping around completely.

Can't see the figure.

It's as if standing in front isn't a zombie, but a true Yin Soul Ghost Cultivator.

"Perhaps, this move might be immensely useful at critical times." Wen Jiu firmly decides that this move must not be revealed.

Following that.

Wen Jiu tries the duration of Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.

Not surprisingly.

The time isn't long.

Only a sparse fifty breaths.

But it's enough.

...

At dusk.

The sky turns red.

Distant mountains echo with the cries of cranes and the roars of exotic beasts.

Above the clouds overhead, cultivators pass by, sword in hand or on boat.

Viewed alone, this is the fairyland everyone dreams of, the place everyone longs for to cultivate.

On muddy roads, Wen Ya carries a large sea bowl, cautiously and expectantly walking towards Wen Jiu's residence.

Passing wooden houses one after another.

Through paths one by one.

It was at this time, Fang Zheng and two others, walking home, passed by Wen Ya. After a few steps, they stopped. The three exchanged glances, recognizing her as Wen Jiu's sister.

"The opportunity has arrived."

Fang Zheng speaks.

The other two nod.

Proceeded towards Wen Ya.

"Sister Wenya?"

Fang Zheng calls to halt Wen Ya.

Wen Ya pauses, glances back at Fang Zheng, sees him approaching, instinctively steps back.

"It's really you, Sister Wenya... Fellow Daoist Wen often tells us he has a great sister who brings him food daily, didn't expect we would meet her." Fang Zheng stands half a foot away, smiling brightly.

Not too close.

But not too far.

Instantly reduces Wen Ya's wariness significantly.

"No, no." Wen Ya replies with a smile.

But before continuing, Fang Zheng's face hardens and he speaks: "Since you're Fellow Daoist Wen's actual sister, there's something I don't know if I should say... It's about Fellow Daoist Wen."

"Speak!" As soon as she hears about her brother, Wen Ya eagerly asks.

Fang Zheng exchanges glances with the other two, continues in a lowered voice: "Fellow Daoist Wen ignored our advice back then, insisted on choosing an unconventional path... I heard recently, Steward Xu highly dislikes unconventional paths because his father was killed by one!"

"Ah!"

Wen Ya's face changes drastically.

Suddenly recalls Mrs. Xu's expression of utter disgust when mentioning unconventional paths.

Fang Zheng shakes his head helplessly, continues: "However, I heard Ju Yitang seems quite interested in Fellow Daoist Wen, but Fellow Daoist Wen doesn't want to join... really don't know what he's thinking. Ju Yitang was founded by the Night Patrol Department's steward, with backing from a steward, joining them means having a solid support."

Wen Ya's face changes again, "That kid..."

But before saying more, suspicion arises.

Why are they telling me this?

"I'll talk to him." Wen Ya deflects, intending to leave.

Fang Zheng quickly stops her, continues: "Sister Wenya, actually I have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

Wen Ya hesitant to approach.

Involuntarily steps back two steps.

"That is for you to join Ju Yitang, I refuse to believe, once you join, Fellow Daoist Wen will still refuse."

Fang Zheng finishes.

Smirks silently.

Just waiting for Wen Ya to nod.

"I can't, I'm merely a servant..."

Wen Ya shakes her head quickly.

Fang Zheng insists: "Sister Wenya, I can make it happen."

"This…" Wen Ya is puzzled but dares not leave forcefully, as she's ultimately just a servant.

The trio exudes an uncommon bearing, clearly of notable origin.

Fang Zheng, seeing this, no longer insists, smiles: "It's fine, Sister Wenya, take your time considering... but don't tell Fellow Daoist Wen, he would definitely stop you if he knew."

"Okay."

Wen Ya nods.

After dismissing Fang Zheng with a few casual words, she quickly leaves.

Once Wen Ya leaves.

Fang Zheng and the other two exchange looks.

One of them seems concerned, quickly asks, "Brother Fang, I feel she doesn't believe us, probably will relay this immediately."

"Believe or not, say or not, it doesn't matter, Ju Yitang and Steward Xu have enmity, once I spread news of Wen Ya's contact with Ju Yitang, the Xu family will most likely be enraged... do you think as a servant she can still hold onto being a concubine? This way, Wen Jiu will be hopelessly cornered, entirely under our control!"

Fang Zheng laughs cunningly.

Recruit Wen Jiu?

No!

Now I just want to drive Wen Jiu to desperation.

Unconventional path.

Qi Cultivation First Layer?

You refuse to join.

I wouldn't want to accept you anyway!
