Chapter 11: A Turn for the Better

Chapter 11: A Turn for the Better

That day, Steward Liu's attitude was aggressive, forcibly destroying one of Wang Yu's arms.

It was not only a slap in Steward Duan's face, but also damaged True Lineage Su's reputation. Wang Yu was unimportant, even if he died, it would be nothing, and would not involve True Lineage Su.

The problem was that Steward Duan remained indifferent.

He could represent True Lineage Su, and his silence was tantamount to admitting defeat, especially since he had publicly taken in Wang Yu not long ago.

This matter caused him to receive a reprimand.

As for Steward Liu's arrogant momentum, it originated from the True Disciple behind him.

Cold Blood Peak was the Dao Field of a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. Its status was already in the upper reaches of the Nine Peaks. This generation had a total of ten True Disciples, all of whom were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and one of them even possessed a Water-type Heavenly Spirit Root.

Whoever could be the first to break through to the Core Formation Stage would receive the Nascent Soul True Lord's inheritance and be listed as the next Nascent Soul Seed.

True Disciples were selected every two hundred years. New True Disciples would not be selected from the tens of thousands of Inner Sect disciples until the last True Disciple broke through to the Core Formation Stage. Mid-term replacements were rare.

The True Disciple behind Steward Liu had unexpectedly discovered a superior Core Formation Spirit Object from a tribute from his subordinates, which was extremely compatible with his main Cultivation Method.

Therefore.

He immediately applied for a High-Grade Third Level Core Formation Pill, the Blood Demon Pill. It was estimated that within ten years, he would become the first True Disciple of this generation to reach Core Formation.

Core Formation Pills, like Foundation Establishment Pills, were auxiliary Elixir Pills for Cultivators breaking through Major Realms. Because of different inheritances, there were various types of Core Formation Pills.

The Blood Demon Pill was considered unique to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and its effect on Blood-type Cultivation Arts was excellent, able to increase the probability of Core Formation by nearly forty percent, which was very outstanding.

Coupled with the assistance of the Core Formation Spirit Object, this True Disciple's breakthrough was almost a certainty. Once the news spread, his subordinate forces naturally expanded, and their actions became even more arrogant.

This was a normal phenomenon in the Demonic Path. When in power, they became arrogant, and they would do anything to amass wealth.

Such an Opportunity, by sheer coincidence, made the other nine True Disciples green with envy. Since the matter had reached this point and could not be reversed, they could only exert effort on themselves.

They wanted to try their luck, just in case?

Therefore, this led to Steward Duan looking for him again, which was also a coincidence.

After listening to Steward Duan's explanation, Wang Yu already understood in his heart.

Because of his previous cold indifference, Steward Duan's prestige among these Spirit Slaves had greatly diminished. Currently, the number of people affiliated with Steward Liu was the largest, approaching two thousand.

Steward Duan and Manager Liu on the other hand, each only had six or seven hundred people. The Spirit Slave business was the money bag of the three True Disciples. If one side took more, the others would take less.

And to gather subordinates and develop forces, Spirit Stones were essential.

Steward Duan continued to speak.

"Wang Yu, you are a capable person. Even after what happened last time, there are still seven or eight Spirit Slaves who have not defected to other stewards. The Spirit Sand handed in this month is at least one tael and six mace.

"Steward Duan and I both appreciate this point, and True Lineage Su also appreciates you, but Steward Liu's side is temporarily unapproachable. Avoid them if you can. As long as you can pull up the Spirit Slave team again, not to mention the Outer Sect, even becoming an Inner Sect disciple is just a word from True Lineage Su."

Wang Yu did not want to eat this pie.

Moreover, the situation was different, and the difficulty for him to persuade those people had increased too much. Even those who were used to being submissive would not frequently defect in a short period of time.

Unless a new batch of people was sent, then it would be a different matter.

He could not help but sigh inwardly, he had no right to refuse at all.

"Steward Duan, Wang Yu will definitely do his best."

"Very good, this is the reward True Lineage Su pre-paid to you, take it."

Wang Yu took a Jade Slip and placed it against the center of his brow. Using his Divine Sense touch, streams of information immediately flowed into his mind, and in a short while, he actually remembered them all.

This was one of the wonderful uses of a Cultivator's Divine Sense. In the Early-stage Qi Condensation, it was still unable to leave the body.

Once one broke through to Qi Condensation Fourth Level, it could leave the body to sense the outside world, seeing every detail, and could imprint a Divine Sense mark on Magic Artifacts, greatly improving flexibility.

There were many uses.

Recorded in the Jade Slip was a rare Secret Technique. Secret Techniques were not graded, and were judged based on Effect.

This Art was named the Corpse Demon Secret Art, created by "Old Man Heavenly Cripple" ten thousand years ago. This person was born with a disability, congenitally lacking an arm and a leg.

Fortunately, he possessed a mutated Upper Grade Spirit Root, a rather rare Yin Spirit Root. The Corpse Demon Secret Art was created by him in the Nascent Soul Stage, and could fuse with a zombie's arm to make up for his defects.

The Secret Art that True Lineage Su gave was an incomplete version, with great side effects.

Body zombification, loss of desire, reduced lifespan, Qi and Blood abnormalities… and so on. Counting them, there were as many as seven or eight. The more Wang Yu read, the more depressed his Emotion became.

Was this thing for people to Cultivate?

He thought it was some kind of Spirit Pill that could regenerate severed limbs, but now that the promise was given, this was the result.

Steward Duan patted him on the shoulder and said playfully.

"When you complete the task, True Lineage Su will find a severed arm of an Ice Corpse for you. That is a Second-Level Fiend Corpse. Even if you cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can still become a top-notch expert in the Qi Condensation Stage."

The string in Wang Yu's mind had snapped to the limit. After thanking him again, he left the Elegant Pavilion and returned to Stone House Number Eighty-Three.

Carefully recalling.

Last time, cutting off the arms and legs of those three Spirit Slaves was actually a decision he made after careful consideration. If it were not for the matter of the True Disciple of Cold Blood Peak, Steward Duan would definitely have been able to protect him, and the one surnamed Liu would not have been so arrogant.

Unfortunately, fate was not in his own hands.

This made him understand that everyone is the protagonist of their own world, and a supporting character in other's world. He still needed to act cautiously and be careful.

Being in the Demonic Path, one must not easily stand out. Hiding one's talent was the correct approach.

This time, after twists and turns, and a turn for the better, it caused him to face a new problem: whether or not to Cultivate the Corpse Demon Secret Art?

There were many side effects, but the Placement Slot could increase the upper limit of the Ice Sword Technique, and it should also be able to act on the Corpse Demon Secret Art to complete it.

The difficulty should be lower than creating it from scratch.

A Nascent Soul Secret Art, he did not believe that there would be so many defects. It must be that True Lineage Su had misinterpreted it. After all, Old Man Heavenly Cripple created this Art for his own use, so he would definitely make it perfect and leave no loopholes.

"Let's take a look first."

He removed the Blood Burning Art from Placement Slot 2, and temporarily placed the Corpse Demon Secret Art.

[Placement Slot 2: Corpse Demon Secret Art]

[Corpse Demon Secret Art (0/100): Practice one thousand four hundred and forty times a day, Perfection in three months.]

Seeing the number of practices per day, Wang Yu was very surprised. After all, practicing once a minute was really a bit exaggerated, yet even so, it would take three months to reach Perfection.

If he waited for the Placement Slot to complete it, it would definitely be counted in years, definitely much longer than the Ice Sword Technique.

Without much hesitation, he removed the Corpse Demon Secret Art and replaced the Blood Burning Art back into Machine Number Two. He still decided to prioritize his Cultivation Level.

In addition to normal comprehension, the Corpse Demon Secret Art also needed to be practiced.

"Nourish blood with Yin, obtain the creation of Heavenly Yin."

"Nourish body with corpse, obtain a pure Demonic Body."

"Heavenly Yin transforms blood, connect bones and grow flesh."

"Corpse Qi transforms meridians, fearless of water and fire."

To put it bluntly, before truly connecting the corpse arm, one needed to absorb Yin Spirit Qi to transform one's own blood, and at the same time, absorb Corpse Qi to invade one's own bones for deep transformation.
