Chapter 36 [Ice Coffin Spell], [Phantom Form Steps]
Both spells in hand are High-Grade Magic Arts, said to be comparable to Foundation Establishment Spirit Arts when perfected. Such claims are just for listening; only an idiot would believe that.
Speaking of which, among the three Perfected Techniques Wang Yu has mastered, only the Night Concealment Spell is a High-Grade Spell. The rest are Mid Grade, and reaching Perfection has already brought him great assistance.
If he adds two more High Grade ones, his combat power ceiling can be further raised, but his Spirit Power Cultivation Level will again be insufficient.
Regarding Placement Slots, two are occupied by Cultivation Methods year-round.
Before breaking through to Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer, there is a three-and-a-half-year gap period, which is precisely the time to place these spells, taking it slow and steady. His plan is quite practical.
The current problem lies with Xu Jiao Jiao. He needs to investigate more details clearly, otherwise, with them hidden and him exposed, it will be hard to deal with.
And Su Qing Shan, famous for combat, is a big trouble.
Should he go to the Law Enforcement Hall and meet Zhuo Shouqing? Naturally, he would know everything, but the price is that he has to fulfill the duty of an "informant." Without a second Xu Family Pill Shop, it's not good for him to go.
It's also a tacit agreement of colluding with each other.
Or perhaps take an Ice Snow Tower mission, find a Foundation Establishment Steward's job, hide for a year or so, and when his Power is further improved, naturally, he won't need to be so cautious.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu decisively turned back.
Zhao Shang, who was doing accounts, only felt his heart skip a beat and saw Wang Yu's face again, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Brother, is there anything else?"
"Help me find a mission that is easy and pays well, preferably similar to the Medicine Garden Maintenance mission I took last time for Administrator Dantai."
Zhao Shang instantly understood his intentions: to avoid trouble!
"Coincidentally, Senior Dantai released a Medicine Garden maintenance mission a few days ago, this time for a year, four hundred Contribution Points."
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You still deducted six hundred from me? What do you mean?"
They are all grasshoppers on the same boat. Extracting a high Channel Fee before cooperation is understandable, but still extracting so much after cooperation, isn't that cooperation in name only?
"This is really out of my hands."
Zhao Shang spread his hands, feigning helplessness.
"This is the Rules of the Ice and Snow Tower. I really didn't embezzle your money. The original price is one thousand, half is handed over to the tower, and half is given to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Zhao cannot touch a single point!"
Wang Yu stared at him for a good while, confirming that he was not faking it, and then nodded.
"Old is better than new, familiar is better than unfamiliar, then this one."
"Take it and go, good riddance."
Sending Wang Yu away like getting rid of a pest, Zhao Shang sighed and lamented as he continued to do the accounts. This is an arduous task, and the effort required is no less than Cultivation.
If there is a mistake, it is very likely to go wrong early, which is closely related to his little life, so he can only spend more effort.
...
...
Evil God District Residence.
Wang Yu was checking the two High-Grade Spells he had just obtained.
[Ice Coffin Spell] and [Phantom Form Steps]!
Ice Coffin Spell, a binding and killing Technique, can condense an Ice Coffin out of thin air next to the target, imprisoning the enemy within. When cultivated to a high level, it can also generate a large number of ice thorns inside the Ice Coffin, skewering the target into a bloody gourd.
If applied flexibly, it can also serve as a 360-degree no-dead-angle defense method. The ice crystals condensed by this Art are extremely hard, and cannot be broken by non-Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Phantom Form Steps, a High Grade body movement Spell, excels at short-distance dodging and maneuvering. It can create up to nine Phantom Bodies, identical to the Physical Body, to confuse enemies. They will dissipate upon attack.
If Perfection can be achieved, the Phantom Body can withstand an attack from a Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivator without dissipating, greatly increasing its practicality.
Once these two spells reach Perfection, Wang Yu's combat ability will climb to another level, which can be considered worth the price.
After circulating the Grand Circulation of his Cultivation Method a few more times, he fell asleep peacefully.
The next day.
In front of the familiar Tantai Herb Garden, Wang Yu knocked on the copper ring. After passing the doorway detection, he entered.
Inside the Wind-Passing Hall with light gauze curtains, Dantai Chan was reclining there, playing with a jade toad in her hand. Seeing Wang Yu enter, she revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Yang Yu?"
"Disciple Wang Yu greets Senior Dantai."
"Oh~"
Having called the wrong name, she didn't feel embarrassed, and continued, "Since it's an acquaintance, there's no need to say much. Just follow the standard of last time."
"Disciple understands."
"This time, this seat needs to go out for a trip, to Heavenly Treasure City thousands of miles away to participate in an auction. I will return in a year. This Herb Garden will be entrusted to you to manage.
"If you still need Frost Ice Nine Leaf Grass, you can take three stalks at will, according to the Market Price."
"Thank you, Senior Dantai."
Wang Yu was puzzled. Last time, Dantai Chan didn't say so clearly, nor did she provide any convenience. This time, it felt like she was hinting at something, not like she was talking to him.
As for Frost Ice Nine Leaf Grass, this thing is one of the Main Ingredients of the Cold Blood Pill, originally prepared materials for himself, aiming for the supreme grade.
The two stalks in hand are still unused. Now, according to the plan, it will be postponed, and temporarily no more is needed.
There were many doubts in his heart, but it was not good to ask. After watching Dantai Chan fly away, Wang Yu took a small bench and sat at the Doorway.
Wait!
In just half an hour, the door was knocked. This time it was an old Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Seeing that the one who opened the door was just an Outer Sect Qi Condensation Disciple, he said condescendingly.
"Boy, where did Administrator Dantai go?"
"May I ask for Senior's esteemed name?"
The old Foundation Establishment Cultivator frowned and scolded.
"I asked you to speak, if I don't tell you my name, you won't speak?"
Wang Yu quickly lowered his head.
"Administrator Dantai instructed me to do so, Disciple is just following orders."
"Good, 'following orders.'" The old Foundation Establishment Cultivator snorted coldly, "This old man is Yang Yunzhi, speak, where did Administrator Dantai go?"
"Heavenly Treasure City!"
"Humph."
When the old geezer left, he used his Aura to pressure Wang Yu, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction, and then left.
Wang Yu adding this question was a spur of the moment idea, the purpose was to figure out the situation here.
Mere Foundation Establishment Aura, as long as he doesn't leave the Herb Garden's door, this place is connected to the Formation Array of Evil God Market, and the main array is set on Evil God Peak, no one can hurt him, and his courage would naturally be greater.
Remembering the name Yang Yunzhi, then this day, Foundation Establishment Cultivators came to find him one after another, thirteen in total. He was not clear about their specific Foundation Establishment layers.
But they all had one thing in common, First Generation Cultivators!
The so-called "First Generation Cultivator" specifically refers to commoners without Backing. After they advance to Foundation Establishment through Opportunity, a small family will also emerge behind them.
Few have a dozen people, many have hundreds, and they will continue to expand as the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's age increases. When their own Cultivation Path can be seen to the end at a glance, they will place their hopes on the next generation.
Starting to run around seeking opportunities for their descendants.
Foundation Establishment Pill is the top priority!
Some succeed and will slowly evolve into a Golden Core Family over time, while some fail and will be annihilated in the vast sea of people, starting from scratch.
Among these thirteen people, except for Yang Yunzhi who had a domineering attitude and spoke in an interrogative tone, the rest were quite polite in inquiring about Dantai Chan's whereabouts.
