Chapter 91 Difficult Slave Capture Mission 

Chapter 91 Difficult Slave Capture Mission 

Both of these have a higher priority than Cultivation Realm. After all, with his current setup, unless a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator had an astonishing background, or possessed trump cards and Secret Treasures that didn't match their Cultivation Realm, their battle power would already be maxed out.

Cultivation Realm increases mostly concern Spirit Energy reserves, and this aspect can be supplemented by Medicinal Pills, having a relatively low impact on battle power.

Slowing down Cultivation Realm advancement is actually fine, and speeding it up isn't really possible anyway.

The news he heard last April indicated that it was already August this year. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wei Chong was about to emerge from closed-door cultivation.

The atmosphere of Frigid Blood Peak and Frigid Blood Market had both changed.

Disciples walked in hurried steps, and the True Lineage Pavilion standing in the market also changed its usual state. Covertly lethal actions frequently occurred, and Celestial Corpse Peak's business of corpse collection increased by nearly thirty percent.

The number of missing disciples rose in a straight line, among whom there were inevitably some "clever devils" taking advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck.

With a storm approaching, Wang Yu, as an Outer Sect Disciple of Frigid Blood Peak and a member of Ice Snow Pavilion, found it difficult to stay out of it, unless he openly disobeyed True Inheritor Su's orders.

Time was pressing for him, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Therefore, after coming out of closed-door cultivation this time, Wang Yu contacted Gu Zhengshun and Situ Hong, wanting to borrow the slave capture missions of Five Yin Peak and Celestial Corpse Peak to leave the sect.

He wouldn't even go to Frigid Blood Market, and even changed his usual foothold, moving from Evil Deity Market to Celestial Corpse Market, living in an edge location very close to the Corpse Raising Ground.

This place was a special facility of the sect. Celestial Corpse Peak disciples needed to spend Contribution Points to place their Cultivated Corpses here for nurturing, and the price was not low.

Correspondingly, in the Nine Peaks Ten Inheritances, in addition to the corresponding special facilities, there were also seven or eight common types of special buildings. Wang Yu had nothing of value in his pockets, so he had never been there.

The Essence Chamber could also be considered one type, but this thing worked better the higher one's spirit root aptitude, and was almost useless to him.

According to his plan, Gu Zhengshun was profit-seeking and easier to persuade, so he lived in Celestial Corpse Market.

But this time, the Message Talisman he sent received no response at all.

As for Situ Hong, Wang Yu owed him a favor before for teaching him the knowledge of Ancient Demonic Script. He asked for help from him without any reservation.

He held the thought that since he already owed a favor, owing a bit more wouldn't matter.

And for Situ Hong, since he had already helped, helping a little more was the same. The logic on both sides was the same.

Investment, after all, adding more stake was normal.

In the afternoon, the two met at his new home. Situ Hong was examining the surroundings, and asked with some surprise:

"Brother Wang, with your abilities, how come you didn't move into the True Lineage Pavilion, but instead came to Celestial Corpse Market's free Cave Dwelling?"

"It's a long story. How is the matter I asked you to help with?"

Situ Hong picked at his fingernails, feeling a bit strange, and for some reason, suddenly had the feeling of being a lackey. Could it be a matter of context?

Shaking his head, he said, "Slave capture missions are different from regular sect missions. The Nine Peaks Spirit Slaves add up to forty to fifty thousand people, and there is a batch every half year.

Each peak has two batches of people taking turns to go out of the sect to carry out missions. This part is controlled by the True Inheritors of each peak. Procedurally speaking, only with the True Inheritor's approval can one accept them. They are all fixed personnel, and it's very difficult to change."

Wang Yu frowned slightly and took out a bag of Spirit Stones.

"Is it very difficult to handle?"

"It's actually alright." Situ Hong didn't take it, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. After discovering it was Stagnant Water left by the previous owner, his face darkened, and he could only put the teacup back upside down.

"When you're out and about, you'll always die for various unexpected reasons. Slave capture teams also need to replenish new people.

"On Five Yin Peak's side, I can put in a good word, but it would be easier to handle if you leave Frigid Blood Peak and join my side."

"This…"

If possible, he would of course be willing. He had wanted to leave long ago.

The problem was that his Outer Sect Disciple status was given by True Inheritor Su. Once the mark was imprinted, it couldn't be washed away. Otherwise, the three from the Law Enforcement Hall of Evil Deity Market would have pulled him into First Blood Nether Peak long ago.

Now was an even more sensitive period, and he couldn't act rashly, otherwise True Inheritor Su would be the first to make an example of him.

"If you can't transfer, you can only try to take on Frigid Blood Peak's slave capture mission."

Wang Yu didn't expect it to be so troublesome. He thought for a moment, and if he couldn't go home, taking on an out-sect mission to avoid trouble would be fine too.

"Then what about going out of the sect… there should be other suitable out-sect missions. Does Senior Brother Situ have any connections?"

Situ Hong was a bit speechless, he was calling him Senior Brother again. He weighed the bag of Spirit Stones Wang Yu gave, and his eyes lit up. He said in a low voice:

"After all, you are a disciple of Frigid Blood Peak. I'll go back and see if there are any joint out-sect missions between the two peaks, which would be better for cover."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Situ. The sooner the better, Junior Brother is extremely grateful."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

With the matter settled, the anxiety in Wang Yu's heart also eased a bit. After sending Situ Hong away, he suspiciously sized up his surroundings.

He always felt like he was being watched by True Inheritor Su's people.

After all, he couldn't be separated from the matter of plotting against Wei Chong. Anyone wanting to leave a way out for themselves would definitely keep a close watch on him, not letting him leave the sect.

Fatty Duan, who had been silent for a long time, could also be sacrificed at certain moments. He didn't believe this guy wasn't anxious.

Several more days passed.

Wang Yu often operated the Night Concealment Spell to go out and scout for information, and also took advantage of the increasing chaos in Frigid Blood Market to seize some contraband, such as Maps.

After all, in his cultivation journey so far, his understanding of the world was still limited to the Taihu Spirit Domain and Red Kite Demon Domain. Although the two domains were vast, they were still small compared to a realm. There must be other regions.

Understanding these things was still very necessary.

Ten days later, just as Wang Yu was getting impatient and wanted to contact other channels, Situ Hong finally sent a message. The two met again in Celestial Corpse Market.

"Brother Wang, I have not failed my mission!"

"Phew—"

Rarely hearing good news, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the other party's follow-up. Situ Hong spread out a Map of Night Jade Province of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. It was much more detailed than the one he had drawn himself.

Pointing his finger at a location on the map, he said.

"This place is called Spider Mountain. It is a Rank Two middle-grade Spirit Vein. Five Yin Peak raises a group of Monster Beasts called Ghost Eye Spiders. Their eyes are of great benefit to the Yin Ghost type.

In addition, it also richly produces a type of Yin Cold Herb called Spider Heart Grass, which is an essential auxiliary herb for refining many cold attribute Spirit Pills, with an extremely wide range of applications.

This Spider Mountain has twenty-one Ghost Eye Caves, raising tens of thousands of Ghost Eye Spiders, and five hundred and forty acres of Spider Heart Grass Field, producing nearly three hundred thousand Spirit Stones annually.

It is jointly managed by Five Yin Peak and Frigid Blood Peak, and both have Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding it. If Brother Wang is willing to take it on, you should be assigned to the Spider Heart Grass Field area.

The Reward is five hundred Contribution Points, ten Spider Heart Grasses, plus three hundred Spirit Stones, and the time is ten years."

Situ Hong spoke very detailedly, and Wang Yu listened very seriously.

This was different from the Mysterious Bone Mountain mission. The biggest benefit there was the Mysterious Essence Flower, because of the contention between Gu Poison Peak, Five Yin Peak, and Celestial Corpse Peak, its ownership had never been determined.
