Chapter 146 Crossing the Swamp (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)

Chapter 146 Crossing the Swamp (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)

This was the moment.

Wang Yu didn't even spare a glance at what kind of end the Alligator Dragon would meet. He only focused on exerting the Profound Yin Hand with all his strength, pouncing towards Lan Boting, whose face was ashen.

Compared to the grey-black giant hand that was at most three meters in size during the Qi Condensation Stage, the Profound Yin Hand unleashed by Foundation Establishment Stage Wang Yu, empowered by True Essence, reached a full thirty-three meters in its Great Accomplishment Realm!

This thirty-three-meter Profound Yin Hand was like the arm of a giant.

It suddenly grasped the weakened Lan Boting, whose expression was also one of extreme shock, his facial features already somewhat distorted.

"This is… the Inheritance of Yellow Springs Temple, you are a True Disciple of Yellow Springs Temple? How is this possible! Moreover… you should clearly be in that position."

Looking at his panicked and distraught enemy, Wang Yu smiled.

"That's right, Person Wang is a Yellow Springs Temple True Disciple Reserve, how about it? Are you surprised?"

At this moment, the Profound Yin Hand would unleash its true power as a Tier 2 High-Grade Technique. Due to insufficient True Essence, Wang Yu had only condensed a single Profound Yin Hand.

But this was completely sufficient!

"No… Fellow Daoist Wang, I know Elder Di Zang of Yellow Springs Temple, he has a relationship with Sword Sect…"

Huh?

In the moment of Wang Yu's suspicion, Lan Boting exploded into a cloud of blood mist in his hand. He hadn't even used any force; he still wanted this Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage corpse.

It was worth a lot of Spirit Stones!

Amidst the confusion in his heart, he looked towards his comrade-in-arms, the Alligator Dragon, on the other side.

He saw that most of its neck had been cleaved open, its spine was broken, and only some flesh and blood remained below, barely preventing its head from falling off.

What an incredibly domineering Blood Essence Sword.

However, it also made Wang Yu breathe a sigh of relief, the crisis was resolved.

It seemed that in the future, he should still make Breakthroughs in the Sect. With Spirit Vein assistance, he wouldn't need to consume his own Spirit Stones, and it would also be safer.

If it was unavoidable to be in the Wilderness, he must prepare Array Flags capable of concealing movements in advance.

Learn from a fall, and you will gain wisdom.

Now it was Harvesting time.

The Alligator Dragon's corpse was valuable, but Wang Yu did not intend to sell it. The Essence Blood could be used to refine Secret Elixirs, the flesh and blood to refine Beast Feeding Pills, and the bones, tendons, and scales were top-grade Magic Artifact Materials.

And… this Alligator Dragon possessed a Monster Core!

The so-called Monster Core was not like the Core Formation of human Cultivators, but a symbol of rich Bloodline. Even First Tier Monster Beasts had the possibility of condensing a Monster Core.

It represented powerful talent.

The earlier a Monster Beast condensed a Monster Core, the greater its potential. This Alligator Dragon definitely had the potential to Breakthrough to Third Grade, making its Value even greater.

Wang Yu knew of a Medicinal Pill called the [Earth Dragon Profound Pill] which was precisely formulated to be used with the previously harvested 〈Earth Spirit Dendrobium〉, capable of greatly strengthening a Body Cultivator's body.

Matching it with the [Dragon Spine] could also activate a Physical Divinity. He could consider learning about it when he returned.

When he arrived near Lan Boting's pool of blood, he first collected all the Storage Pouches, his expression very solemn.

"If the guess is true, this should be some kind of Restriction or a Contract with extremely strong binding force.

"He violated the Contract, so he suffered punishment, turning into a pool of blood, not even leaving behind his Soul…"

Yellow Springs Temple, Elder Di Zang.

Wang Yu stroked his chin. He had acknowledged his Identity as a Yellow Springs Temple True Disciple Reserve, and possessed the Profound Yin Hand Inheritance. This kind of Identity was already high enough, it was Normal for him to know some of the Sect's Secrets.

It was also Normal for Lan Boting to be punished by the Contract for rashly speaking out.

"However, Sword Sect and Yellow Springs Temple have a Relationship?"

He couldn't help but think of the origin of the Profound Yin Hand Technique—Su Qingshan! Could he really be a spy? But it didn't seem reasonable for a spy to carry a Core Inheritance with them.

Headache!

"Don't think about it, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Taking stock of his Harvest.

Second Grade Upper Rank · Demon Binding Cord, Second Grade Upper Rank · Azure Water Sword. Apart from these two Magic Artifacts, the remaining Magic Artifacts were very ordinary, not even as good as the Earth Origin Cauldron he had harvested before.

Spirit Stone Harvest was thirty-two thousand, a hefty sum.

There were also five bottles of Second Grade Spirit Pills, and Sundries of various kinds, among which were a large amount of information and Maps related to Taihu Spirit Domain, as well as Heavenly Void Sword Sect's internal Intelligence on the Withered Leaf Swamp.

Especially the latter, it was of great help to Wang Yu Now. He was worrying about how to safely cross the Swamp. With this internal Intelligence, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.

In addition, there were also several Tokens in the Storage Pouch, which should be for use when traveling within Sword Sect. There were no other Harvests.

There were no Cultivation Methods or Techniques at all.

This was in line with the situation of Cultivators from large Factions. Their skills were all learned from the Sect, unlike Independent Cultivators who carried them around.

Even if they gained something outside, in most cases it was not as good as the Inheritance given by the Sect, and they simply disdained Cultivation of outside Inheritances.

"Having these is already enough. When I deal with those Sundries and Magic Artifacts and Spirit Pills, I can once again enter the ranks of having a net worth of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

When he came, his net worth was one hundred thousand, and when he returned, it was still one hundred thousand.

Clearly, he had consumed a lot, and his Strength had also greatly improved. Taihu Spirit Domain was still full of good people, unlike Red Kite, one or two were all paupers.

Finding a secluded place, after restoring his True Essence, he spent several more days Refineing the Glazed Soul Lamp, Earth Origin Cauldron, Demon Binding Cord, and Azure Water Sword, these four Second Grade Magic Artifacts.

His Strength naturally improved another level, and having reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, Cultivators' powerful Divine Sense was enough to support them in simultaneously controlling two Magic Artifacts. Late Foundation Establishment Stage could even control three.

With reasonable combinations, it was enough to establish an all-round advantage.

Taking out the Map that Lan Boting had painstakingly purchased, Wang Yu chose a direction and set off towards the Crimson Kite Demon Domain!

Having Intelligence and No Intelligence were completely different concepts.

Even so, he encountered a large number of dangers along the way, becoming more serious the deeper he went, especially after entering the Territory of Core Formation Demon Beasts. Even if Wang Yu possessed the Invisibility Technique, he had no way to deceive such existences.

He could only bypass them from the edges, and these relatively Safe Paths had been set up with a large number of Restrictions and Formations by both the Righteous and Demonic sides over countless years.

There were even Illusion Formations used to lure people.

Wang Yu had only been setting off for three days when he saw a Rank 4 Spirit Ginseng growing under a tree. If the Map hadn't marked it as a trap of Illusion Formation paired with Killing Formation, he might have fallen for it.

The Righteous and Demonic Domains had been fighting each other for many years, and all kinds of tactics had been used. Smuggling through Dangerous Places, crossing Heaven's Pass directly into the hinterland, were even tricks that had been used to death.

From this, it could be seen how many traps were hidden in these "Safe Paths".

In some places, the space where one could set foot was less than a foot wide, and one had to walk sideways.

"Old Lan, ah Old Lan, Person Wang misunderstood you, you were a good person."

Two months later.

Having just Break Away from the pursuit of a pack of wolf Demon Beasts, Wang Yu discovered that the Strength of the Demon Beasts was gradually decreasing. This meant that he had crossed the most dangerous core District of the Withered Leaf Swamp.

He was already advancing towards the outer periphery closer to the Crimson Kite Demon Domain.

His mood suddenly brightened, the most dangerous part was already crossed.

Time flowed by in the journey.

In the first month of the 5th year of Wang Yu's Inner Sect life, on a silent snowy night, the familiar Nine Twisted Peaks came into view. The Spiritual Qi in the environment even had a sweet fragrance.

"Long time no see, Saint Sect!"

Calling it Saint Sect meant that Person Wang had already recognized his Identity as belonging to the Demonic Path. It was no longer forced. The second volume was about to begin, Goal: Core Formation!
