Object of the Three Fiends

He currently had ninety-four Tier 1 Soul Seizing Talismans, with one being of top quality.

Wen Jiu naturally kept the top-quality one for himself and wouldn't sell it. However, the other ninety-three could fetch at least two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones each.

Before obtaining the Three Fiends Corpse Raising Method, Wen Jiu might have considered two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones to be a substantial amount. But after acquiring the method, he felt that two hundred was truly not much.

This was because the Three Fiends Corpse Raising Method not only required the crafting of a Corpse Nurturing Coffin but also the preparation of three fiend-related items.

A Corpse Nurturing Coffin could not be of lower quality than Tier 1 Low-grade, and the higher the quality, the better. Tier 1 Mid-grade would be ideal.

An ordinary Tier 1 Low-grade Magic Tool would cost around a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, with slightly better ones going for two to three hundred.

Tier 1 Mid-grade Magic Tools were even more expensive, easily costing four to five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones each.

Custom orders would be even pricier.

As the Corpse Nurturing Coffin needed to be custom-made, crafting one of Tier 1 Mid-grade quality would likely cost five to six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

If he hadn't struck it rich at the Chen family's territory before, and currently had over five hundred Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag, along with other items worth several hundred, he wouldn't have dared to attempt the Three Fiends Corpse Raising Method rashly.

Besides the Corpse Nurturing Coffin.

There were also the three fiend-related items.

Earth Fiend Yin Energy was one of them, which could be obtained for free using the Corpse Nurturing Incantation.

The remaining two items would need to be purchased.

The first was the Blood Fiend Crystal, a Tier 1 rare treasure originating from the Blood Fiend Abyss. Although Wen Jiu didn't know where the Blood Fiend Abyss was, the Three Fiends Corpse Raising Method provided its price and purchase location.

Each crystal cost ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The amount of Blood Fiend Crystal needed to raise three fiend-level Walking Corpses was unknown, as it depended on the corpse itself; stronger corpses required more.

Judging by the Black Zombie's situation, it was highly likely that the top-tier amount would be needed.

The second item was Heavenly Fiend Water, also a Tier 1 rare treasure, which could only be concocted by experienced Ghost Cultivators. The method of concoction was unknown. Similarly, the Three Fiends Corpse Raising Method indicated its purchase location.

Like the Blood Fiend Crystal, it was available in an underground trading market within a mortal city called Tianyin City, run by unorthodox cultivators.

It opened once a month.

Each session lasted only three days.

Non-unorthodox cultivators were not allowed entry, and first-time visitors required an introduction from a familiar unorthodox cultivator, otherwise, they would be denied entry.

However, Wen Jiu's first thought wasn't to go to Tianyin City. Instead, he immediately checked the trading market on Flying Immortal Peak and found no trace of these two fiend-related items.

Even if there were Ghost Cultivators setting up stalls, they were low-level cultivators at the Qi Cultivation first or second layer.

Let alone concocting Heavenly Fiend Water.

They hadn't even managed to raise Yin Souls properly.

In the following days, Wen Jiu had intended to visit the rogue cultivator market. However, after Si Kongbai took over the Night Patrol Division, he not only refused to grant him further leave but also scheduled him for extremely busy night patrol duties.

After nightfall, he had to patrol the Dead Corpse Land until the early morning, a duration of six hours.

Furthermore, he was the only one on patrol.

Yet, if anything were to happen, he would be the first to be held accountable.

Of course.

It wasn't Si Kongbai who was making things difficult for him.

It was the people under Si Kongbai. Many knew that Li Ye was transferred away from Flying Immortal Peak because of Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu could do nothing about these impatient individuals.

Weren't they afraid that Mu Canglong would return the next day?

Or did they believe that Mu Canglong would never return?

Wang Nian, upon hearing about this, was indignant. The day he learned of the situation, he found Wen Jiu. "Kid Wen, how's your talisman drawing skill now? When can you draw a Tier 1 talisman?"

"Brother Wang, what's this about?"

"I just can't stand how the Night Patrol Division is ostracizing you. What is Si Kongbai? Did he dare to fart loudly when Mu Canglong was around? Now that Mu Canglong is on a mission, he starts pushing his own people around."

"It's fine, Brother Wang, I'm doing quite well in the Dead Corpse Land." For Wen Jiu, patrolling around the Dead Corpse Land still allowed him to cultivate.

It didn't matter.

No one would notice if he slacked off late at night.

"Fine? You have to patrol the Dead Corpse Land alone at night. If anything happens again, you'll bear all the responsibility. Do you know that you won't be able to participate in the assessment if you're still considered a criminal?"

"The people from the Inspection Hall are on Flying Immortal Peak, so nothing should happen." In Wen Jiu's opinion, after the last incident, anyone from the Blood Robe Tower who dared to go to the Dead Corpse Land again would be an idiot.

Moreover, as he said, the Inspection Hall personnel were present and had already begun a large-scale search for Blood Robe Tower members outside.

At this time, why would anyone from the Blood Robe Tower dare to show their face?

Even at their peak, they couldn't do it, and now it was even less likely.

Wang Nian shook his head helplessly and then said, "Why are you so optimistic? But don't worry, with your Brother Wang here, your assessment qualification definitely won't be lost... I'll go find my second uncle and see if I can arrange for you to become an apprentice to a Talisman Master. There are definitely Tier 1 Talisman Masters looking for disciples."

"Brother Wang, let's just go with the flow. Steward Mu and the others will surely be back soon," Wen Jiu quickly stopped him.

If he went to the Talisman Room, what about the Earth Fiend Yin Energy, the Death Qi from the Dead Corpse Land, and the Blood Qi in the central area?

Wang Nian was helplessly pushed back into the square chair by Wen Jiu, still seething with anger. Wen Jiu quickly changed the subject, "Brother Wang, besides the assessment, is there any other way to get to the Main Peak?"

"Of course there is, but you definitely can't do it."

"Why?"

"That's a mid-grade single-element Spiritual Root. Do you have one?"

"Alright."

"There's another way, which is to be taken notice of by a Main Peak Elder. Not only would you not need to take the assessment, but you could also become their disciple. However, being favored by a Main Peak Elder is even harder than having a mid-grade single-element Spiritual Root."

"Why?"

"Because the Main Peak Elders are all at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, with extraordinary strength. There are countless geniuses who want to become their disciples, including those with high-grade Spiritual Roots and high-grade single-element Spiritual Roots. Even those with mid-grade Spiritual Roots don't have the qualifications to enter."

"Alright."

Wen Jiu smiled helplessly.

It seemed he could only pass the assessment.

After a few more pleasantries, Wen Jiu got up to see Wang Nian off. Wang Nian was also helpless about Wen Jiu's persistence and could only give Wen Jiu some Signal Talismans, telling him to crush one directly if anything happened at night.

Wen Jiu naturally accepted them all. As he was seeing Wang Nian out, he suddenly heard two women's voices outside.

Very familiar.

One was Wang's Wife.

The other was his sister, Wen Ya.

When he opened the door, he found both of them chatting happily at Wang Nian's doorstep. His sister Wen Ya seemed a bit reserved due to her status, but Wang's Wife didn't mind. Instead, she pulled his sister Wen Ya into the house.

"Sister, don't be reserved. Your brother and our family are not outsiders. Stay for dinner tonight."

Wang's Wife was very enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu and Wang Nian exchanged a smile.

Wen Jiu didn't stop them either. He let his sister get to know Wang's Wife, which could also broaden her network.

If he were not in the sect, she would have someone to help her.

"Sis... Sister-in-law." Wen Jiu followed Wang Nian into the house and greeted them.

Hearing the voice, Wen Ya was about to get up when she saw Wang Nian.

She quickly stood up and bowed.

Without daring to hesitate.

"Greetings, Steward Wang!"

Wang Nian smiled, "There's no need to be so formal, please sit."

"Thank you, Wang..." As Wen Ya was bowing, she suddenly noticed that Wang Nian was walking alongside her brother.

Their relationship seemed quite good.

At this moment, Wen Ya instantly understood a lot. The doubts that had been lingering in her heart were all resolved at this moment.

So, Steward Wang helped explain because of this brat Wen Jiu!

Seeing this, Wang Nian walked towards the kitchen, "You two siblings chat first. I'll go cook with your sister-in-law."

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Wen Jiu agreed and didn't stand on ceremony.

He sat down, ready to eat the prepared meal.

The more polite he was with Wang Nian, the more distant he would seem.

To maintain their good relationship, he had to be appropriately informal. Because true brothers wouldn't be polite; only ordinary friends would be courteous and respectful to each other.

In the subsequent conversation, Wen Jiu didn't hide anything and truthfully explained his relationship with Wang Nian.

His sister Wen Ya was both surprised and delighted, unsure of what to say for a moment.

She secretly marveled, to be on brotherly terms with Steward Wang, what good fortune had her brother accumulated in his past lives?

Ever since Steward Wang visited the Xu family, the Xu family had been treating him politely and had not caused any trouble.

This showed how significant Steward Wang's background was.

Wen Jiu didn't say much about this, only calculating in his mind that when Steward Mu Canglong returned, he would find an opportunity to reach the Qi Refining Third Layer. By then, he could go visit the Xu family.

Soon.

After three rounds of drinks.

After the dishes were served.

Full from food and drink, Wen Jiu prepared to escort his sister back.

Before leaving, Wang's Wife gave several rather valuable clothes to Sister Wen Ya, and also gave out one of Wang Nian's tokens, which could be used to move freely around Flying Immortal Peak.

Wen Jiu saw this and kept it in mind.

But on the way back to the Xu Family, he suddenly saw a cultivator flying on a sword in the distance, passing overhead.

With just a glance, Wen Jiu recognized him.

Because of his face, Wen Jiu could never forget him.

It was Li Ye.

"Is he back for something, or was he transferred back to the Night Patrol Division?"

In Wen Jiu's opinion, if Li Ye was transferred back, it wouldn't be good news.

After what happened last time, he would definitely hate him even more than before.
