Chapter 24, Machine Number Three

Chapter 24, Machine Number Three

Leaving Dantai Chan's Herb Garden, Wang Yu felt a moment of confusion. In truth, he could choose to leave the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect now, but between the Scarlet Kite Demon Domain and the Great Lake Spirit Domain lay a Natural Barrier and Fortified Pass. How could a mere Qi Condensation Cultivator like him cross them?

In fact, relying on a large Sect was the only way for cultivators of his Aptitude to continuously improve on the path of Cultivation. Qi Condensation Stage cultivators had a Lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, and it was best to break through to Foundation Establishment before the age of one hundred.

Burning ten years of Lifespan back then, according to the Qi and Blood theory, the younger one was, the more abundant their Qi and Blood, so the reduction was not at the tail end but at the beginning.

For Wang Yu, this age limit was before ninety, and he still had seventy-three years to prepare, which should be sufficient.

"Cold Blood Alchemy…"

On the way back from Evil God District, Wang Yu blended into the passing disciples and headed towards Cold Blood Ward.

His Mental Sense rippled slightly, because he discovered that the Placement Slot had changed.

[Placement Slot 3: None]

This change delighted him. By this reasoning, when he broke through to the Late Qi Condensation Stage, a fourth slot would also appear. With this estimation, achieving Foundation Establishment seemed very close, and Core Formation was not beyond hope!

He selected a Cultivation Method to place.

[Placement Slot 3: Cold Blood Technique]

「Cold Blood Technique (51/100): Five hundred and sixty practices a day, can be completed in half a year.」

Compared to half a year ago, the progress bar had increased by half, and the number of daily practices had significantly increased. These were all hidden benefits brought about by Wang Yu's Cultivation Realm breakthrough and Meridian expansion.

The Yin-Cold Spirit Power within his body circulated throughout, his physique became stronger day by day, especially his blood, which gradually thickened and its temperature decreased, which was particularly compatible with the "Celestial Yin Blood" required by the Corpse Demon Secret Art.

Even with two Placement Slots working simultaneously, the time to break through to the next realm was still delayed until eight years later. He needed external force to assist him, relying solely on the Placement Slots was no longer enough.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to place other things first.

[Placement Slot 3: Cold Blood Alchemy]

「Cold Blood Alchemy (0/100): Twelve Alchemy practices a day, can be completed in half a year.」

This action was actually to strengthen Wang Yu's mastery of a single Pill Formula, which was closely related to Pill Refining Art.

He only needed to wait until the Cold Dragon Alchemy Art reached Perfection in a year, and his mastery of Cold Blood Alchemy reached an incredible level. By then, when he refined pills himself, he estimated that the failure rate would be infinitely close to zero.

As a unique Pill Formula attached to the Cultivation Method, its auxiliary Cultivation Effect must be amazing, and it was worth investing more in.

His next goal was to spend a year collecting two complete sets of Medicinal Herbs and resolving issues such as the Alchemy Furnace and Earth Fire Chamber.

After arriving at Cold Blood Ward, Wang Yu went straight into the Ice and Snow Tower.

Zhao Shang was indeed sitting in that familiar position, his voice carrying from afar.

"Junior Brother Wang, you've been gone for half a year, your appearance is completely renewed, congratulations."

"Just proper recuperation, alleviating the state of Qi and Blood deficiency a bit, Senior Brother Zhao, are you well?"

The two were superficially polite, but Zhao Shang said with interest.

"Junior Brother left for half a year. The Ice and Snow Tower's position is very valuable, and Senior Brother couldn't bear to waste it."

"So I temporarily rented it to an Inner Sect Junior Brother in the Late Qi Condensation Stage, you wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Wang Yu: "..."

Late Qi Condensation Stage, Inner Sect Junior Brother!

Once these two conditions were mentioned, could he get it back? He was truly disgusted. Associating it with the fact that he had learned half a year ago that this person was secretly selling Essence Qi Chamber number twenty-nine, several evil plans floated to mind.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Wang is going out on a Mission, your actions are inappropriate, I'm afraid."

Zhao Shang narrowed his eyes. He dared to do this.

First, he bullied Wang Yu for his insufficient Cultivation Level and extremely poor Aptitude, making it basically impossible for him to turn things around on his own, and he could only rely on external forces.

Second, last time Fatty Duan sent someone over, although he pointed out that Wang Yu was personally selected by True Lineage Su, Duan Ping himself hinted between the lines that he should make things difficult for Wang Yu.

Even he wasn't afraid, so why should Zhao Shang be afraid?

Wang Yu had no direct access to True Lineage Su's connections. So what if he forcefully occupied it? As long as it was nominally justifiable. The Aura belonging to the Late Qi Condensation Stage was released, reminding him to be more respectful.

"Wang Yu, Zhao is helping you generate income. The Inner Sect Junior Brother is not occupying your room for free. This is the rental fee, every year."

In the next instant, a black shadow was thrown over, and Wang Yu quickly retreated a few steps to dodge.

Seeing that it was a Spirit Stone bouncing repeatedly on the ground, he almost laughed out of anger. Was he being treated like a beggar?!

"Good, good, good———"

"Senior Brother Zhao's methods are brilliant, Wang admits defeat."

Without choosing to say harsh words, Wang Yu didn't even have the mood to go upstairs to negotiate, and turned around to leave the Ice and Snow Tower.

Just you wait.

True Lineage Su had invested the Corpse Demon Secret Art, one thousand Contribution Points, the promised Second-Order Ice Corpse Arm, and an Outer Sect Disciple Token in him.

All of these things were just some benefits that a True Disciple casually leaked, but they couldn't withstand the high frequency, and it was obvious that there was an intention to cultivate him.

Zhao Shang didn't know this information, and Fatty Duan wouldn't tell him either.

As long as True Lineage Su looked for him one day and couldn't find him, Zhao Shang would be unlucky. This greedy and insatiable guy deserved this calamity.

The Essence Qi Residence was of little significance to Wang Yu. After all, his Aptitude was terribly poor. Normal Three Spirit Roots cultivators could get great benefits, but he could only improve from "1" to "1.01", even more useless than chicken ribs.

Losing it was not a pity.

After his Mental Sense calmed down and he sorted out his thoughts, Wang Yu, thinking of the many pieces of information he had learned in Dantai's Herb Garden, had the idea of applying for a job at the Xu Family Pill Shop.

The Cold Dragon Alchemy Art had currently been placed for about two months.

[Placement Slot 2: Cold Dragon Alchemy Art (Fragmented)]

「Cold Dragon Alchemy Art (16/100): Twelve Alchemy practices a day, can be completed in ten months.」

This level was already considered entry-level, and he could try to refine Elixir Pills. He had mastered both the Fire Control Hand Seals and the Pill Condensation Seal, and they were Experience gained from practice.

Even if he couldn't apply to be an Alchemist, it wouldn't be a problem to be an Alchemy furnace tending boy. The Xu Family Pill Shop would not open for another two months, and he could still observe more.

Looking back at Cold Blood Ward, Wang Yu left leisurely, showing no sign of the anger he had just felt.

Evil God District.

This place was a mixed bag, with disciples from all Nine Peaks, and the Backing was complex and intertwined, making it difficult to sort out clearly.

Wang Yu had a Black Blood Disciple Token, so he didn't need to worry about where to live. Each District had an area specifically used for ordinary Immortal's Caves for residence.

After all, this was within the Sect. Empty rooms in the Reverse Blood Ten Wards could be lived in freely. After one night.

The next day,

Considering that Cold Blood Peak was not the only place where people practiced the "Cold Blood Technique", he went out to various shops to inquire whether there were finished Cold Blood Alchemy pills for sale, and by the way, to collect relevant Medicinal Herbs.

This search went very smoothly.

In the Precious Pill Pavilion opened by the Pill Refining Hall of the Sect, he smoothly found a large number of Medicinal Herbs and Cold Blood Alchemy pills themselves.

"How much are these?"

The shop assistant behind the counter should be a formal disciple of the Pill Refining Hall. If Wang Yu wanted to, he could also join after passing the assessment. Joining this type of department would have the concept of "basic salary", which was completely different from ordinary disciples.

"Low Grade Cold Blood Alchemy pill, three hundred Spirit Stones."

"Mid Grade Cold Blood Alchemy pill, four hundred Spirit Stones."

"High Grade Cold Blood Alchemy pill, five hundred Spirit Stones."
