Chapter 101 Surrounded
And so, another three months passed.
At the end of the twelfth month, a heavy snow turned the vicinity of Spider Mountain into a white expanse, adorned in silver, exceptionally enchanting. The world was a boundless white, seemingly extraordinarily desolate.
People say autumn is sad and spring is joyful, but winter also makes one feel lonely; it is the taste of everything being silent.
Wang Yu had been studying Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects for some time now.
He discovered that what the disciple with ulterior motives had said that day was true, except for the Fortuitous Encounter of the Fragmented Map at the end, and this was verified through Situ Hong's connections.
Although the Ancient History recorded by the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect had no precedent of Foundation Establishment with a Waste Spirit Root, there were many stories and legends of those with firm wills defying fate and changing their destiny.
Just like the Supreme Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects suitable for Wang Yu's use were also rare and hard to find.
Treasures like Ice Spirit Spring were not qualified, it had to be Rare Treasures like Heavenly Frost Qi to be acceptable. There were no clues, and apart from bitter cultivation, Wang Yu had no other way.
Day after day, due to the side effects of the Corpse Demon Secret Art, his second brother remained unresponsive all year round, and there was nowhere to relax.
In This Situation, Wang Yu had almost lost his desires. His obsession was also terrifying; he could stay in his house all year round without moving.
He could, but others could not.
For example, the gang that had been lying in wait for Person Wang for a long time.
In a Stone House convenient for surveillance, seven or eight people were huddled together, verbally criticizing Person Wang.
"Damn it, does this person have no desires?"
"He actually doesn't go out even once, he can endure too much."
Heart-Eating City, not far from Spider Mountain, although not a large Spirit Land like a Prefecture City, could still be considered prosperous.
Whether they were Frigid Blood Peak disciples or Five Yin Peak disciples, once they were on rotation, they would go to the city to seek pleasure and find entertainment. The Spirit Stones earned at Spider Mountain also needed channels for consumption.
"Wait a little longer, the last half month. If he still doesn't move, find a way to lure him out."
"We can only do that."
"How to lure him?"
"Like this… like this… it's eighty percent likely to work."
"Good, then it's settled!"
The boss made the decision, and naturally, no one else had any objections.
Another ten and a half days passed.
Spirit Light flickered at someone's fingertips, and a transparent, grayish liquid accurately fell into the roots of the Spider Heart Grass with the movement of his wrist, watering a sunken hollow.
It was Wang Yu watering Ghost Eye Spider Blood, and afterwards, he would mix excrement with Spider Web and limb remains to spread over the Spirit Field to achieve the effect of fertilizing.
Just at this moment, two figures stepping on Flying Swords flew from the horizon and quickly landed near the Spirit Field Wang Yu was responsible for. The two walked onto the Field Path and spoke softly.
Wang Yu glanced sideways, his ears twitching slightly.
"Quick, go, go, go, notify the boss, there's an Auction House in Heart-Eating City."
"I heard there are Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects being auctioned, the boss has been waiting for a long time, I didn't expect Heart-Eating City to have them too."
In just a few sentences, they struck right at Wang Yu's heart. Seeing the two walk away, Wang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
This kind of lure was too clumsy, but as he probed his Storage Pouch with his Divine Sense, he found that he had accumulated nearly fifty thousand Spirit Stones. It was indeed time for a wave of consumption.
Now that he possessed Cold Flame, he no longer needed to borrow Earth Fire for Pill Refining. A suitable Pill Furnace should indeed be bought.
On the other hand, Auction Houses, depending on the Faction behind them, often had thresholds. Even the lowest level Auction House required verification.
Such as verifying funds, verifying Identity, and so on.
Having not gone out for a long time, it was a good opportunity to stroll around Heart-Eating City, resolve this batch of troubles, and also look for methods to improve his cultivation speed. Furthermore, if he could buy Essence Blood of Dragon Seed Monster Beasts.
He could free up a Storage Slot to make up for the needs in Techniques.
"Then let's go."
......
......
Heart-Eating City was located three hundred miles east of Spider Mountain, situated on a Lower Grade Second Order Spirit Vein. There was an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator stationed in the City.
Outside the City, there was a Spirit Spring, and the Cold and Clear Spring Water produced was a widely versatile Spirit Object. It could be used for making tea, Pill Refining, Artifact Refining, Talisman Ink… and so on.
The garrison here, taking the Spirit Spring as the center, built a Market, called Mountain Spring Market.
Nearby Independent Cultivators or disciples from other Sects could all establish businesses here.
There was also an Inner Market set up with an Illusion Technique in the City, which was even more prosperous than Mountain Spring Market, mainly for entertaining Sect Cultivators from nearby Resource Points, such as Spider Mountain, Spirit Peach Mountain… and so on.
With a City as the center, there were at least two or three large Resource Points and several small Resource Points nearby.
Mountain Spring Market belonged exclusively to the garrison Cultivator personally, and was a means of making money that he had come up with during his term of office. After investigation by this Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, those who met the standards could naturally also enter the Inner Market.
A City's territory was indeed very complex.
Wang Yu's target was the Inner Market in the City, which would also have many Businesses set up by other Factions, easily meeting the needs of a Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator.
Slowly and leisurely driving the Flying Magic Tool Black Silk Fabric, Wang Yu set off alone, his speed not even as fast as if he were traveling on foot.
When he was halfway there, flying over a Gorge.
Swoosh, swoosh sounds echoed, a group of black-robed people surrounded him tightly, four in front and three behind, and five or six people also appeared above and below.
Counting them, there were actually more than ten. The leader exuded the aura of Qi Condensation Ninth Layer, one Qi Condensation Eighth Layer, three Qi Condensation Seventh Layer, and the rest were all Sixth Level Qi Condensation, with only one Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Level.
"Boy, hand over the Storage Pouch on your body, and we'll spare your life."
Wang Yu heard this, and seemed somewhat surprised.
"Only seeking wealth and not harming life?"
Saying this, he pulled open his collar, displaying the dozen or so Storage Pouches on the inside of his lining, and said with interest:
"Which one do you want?"
The burly man with a beard was surprised, and greed flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and sneered.
"Hand them all over."
"Ah-choo—"
At this moment, someone suddenly sneezed, shivering all over, and whispered to his companion beside him.
"Do you feel that the weather has turned cold, the temperature is dropping so fast."
"How could it be… no! Boss, this kid is using tricks."
"Then attack!!!"
Too late.
This group of people did not rush up to kill him immediately, but instead threatened him with words. This was somewhat beyond Wang Yu's expectations. They were already in the business of robbery, yet they were still hesitating.
He simply delayed for a moment, preparing his means.
In a head-on fight, he was confident he could win, but it would be difficult to eliminate them all, and in that case, his own information would inevitably be exposed. Eradicating evil completely was the best policy.
He saw that centered on Wang Yu, the temperature rapidly decreased.
Outside the encirclement above, below, and in all directions, a large amount of ice crystals were rapidly condensing. It was the Ice Coffin Spell!
Today was different from the past. With his Qi Condensation Eighth Layer cultivation level and Perfection Mystical Arts attainment, improving it was very smooth.
Walls of ice, tens of meters high, rapidly converged.
In the blink of an eye, an ice cage was formed in the sky above the Gorge, looking just like a beast fighting arena.
Quickly swallowing a Supreme Grade Spirit Pill for restoring Spirit Qi.
Wang Yu raised his right hand flat, and aimed at someone, clenching his fist in the air.
Whoosh--
