Chapter 148 New Second Stage Cultivation Method, Foundation Establishment Deacon
Chapter 148 New Second Stage Cultivation Method, Foundation Establishment Deacon
The first thing upon returning to Frigid Blood Peak was naturally to head to the Stone House Area. The capture missions for Spirit Slaves from each peak did not require handover at the Various Halls Market; instead, the Spirit Slave Stewards of each peak were responsible.
Wang Yu arrived here with practiced ease. Compared to many years ago when three Stewards mutually checked and balanced each other, vying for the benefits brought by Spirit Slaves to please the True Inheritor above them.
Now, only one Steward remained, Manager Liu, who had followed True Inheritor Yan Ling from a very early time.
He was also Wang Yu's only acquaintance in the Stone House Area.
"Manager Liu."
This person was approaching ninety years old, and was also an old subordinate of Yan Ling. Perhaps there might be Foundation Establishment Pill rewards, so Wang Yu was quite polite.
Manager Liu rubbed his eyes, and said in surprise, "Brother Wang, you've returned alive?"
"Yes, this trip had some twists and turns. Old Man Ning and the others all perished in the Taihu Lake Spirit Domain. Wang Yu was lucky, hiding in the Withered Leaf Swamp and was not discovered, delaying me for several years. I only just returned today."
"Fortunate, fortunate indeed, it's good that you're alright. A mere Spirit Slave capture mission is nothing, I will issue your reward to you now."
"..."
Manager Liu was openly helping him fleece the Sect, which was truly puzzling, but Wang Yu would not refuse resources sent for free.
"According to custom, the reward for a slave capture mission is eight hundred Contribution Points each time. I will take it upon myself to round it up to a whole number, one thousand!
"Oh right, in the past few years you've been gone, Lord Yan Ling has established three new Slave Hunting Teams, operating in Red Kite. Would you like to join one of them and become a Team Leader?"
Wang Yu repeatedly waved his hand. In the past, he would definitely have agreed, but not now.
"Wang Yu has already achieved Foundation Establishment. Coming here this time is both to hand in the mission and also to seek further advancement on Frigid Blood Peak. Is True Inheritor Yan Ling available to meet with me?"
Hearing this, Manager Liu was first shocked, carefully sizing him up for a few moments, then revealed a look of difficulty.
"This… Lord Yan Ling is currently preparing for battle, it's not appropriate to disturb her.
"How about I take Brother Wang to the Merit and Reward Hall of Frigid Blood Peak to register? With the proof from Frigid Blood Peak, you will be able to receive the resource benefits for Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the Various Halls Market."
"Very well, please trouble Manager Liu to lead the way."
"No trouble at all, please."
If he couldn't meet her now, then he would meet her later, there was no rush. In any case, as long as he had the Foundation Establishment token, he could receive everything corresponding to it at the Various Halls Market.
Frigid Blood Peak needed to register him, and the Various Halls Market also needed to register him. Both sides needed to keep records.
On the way, Manager Liu tentatively asked.
"Brother Wang, could you perhaps tell me how you achieved Foundation Establishment? I remember you had Fifth Spirit Root Aptitude… and you are not yet forty years old."
This question was somewhat presumptuous, but it was within Wang Yu's expectations.
Anyone would be curious about the secrets hidden within.
Foundation Establishment before forty years old, and with a Fifth Spirit Root, wasn't this worth coveting? One should know that only Dual Spirit Root could achieve Foundation Establishment at fifty years old, so what was his basis!
Opened? No, it had never been closed.
Wang Yu gave a self-deprecating smile. He was not very famous in the Sect, but after today, it would definitely cause a great uproar. He already had a set of words prepared, and he had the renowned 'Inverse Spirit Three Young Masters' as a background.
"Manager Liu, you don't need to probe. This matter is not something that cannot be spoken of."
He sighed and continued.
"Wang Yu's Aptitude is low, and he was born a Spirit Slave. In order to defy fate and change his destiny, he had no choice but to frantically burn his Lifespan, becoming withered and old like an old man at sixteen years old.
"Fortunately, Senior Brother Su valued me and pulled me out of this Mud Pit of Spirit Slavery. With the help of Spirit Pills, I recovered my youthful appearance. Feeling deeply the difficulty of Cultivation, I had no choice but to continue burning my Lifespan.
"Several years ago, I stepped into Qi Condensation Ninth Layer, only one step away from exhausting my Lifespan and Passing Away, but Heaven was unwilling to watch Wang Yu die like this, and I encountered a benefactor."
Saying this, Wang Yu displayed the Law Enforcement Token he had obtained from Zhuo Shouqing.
"Senior Brother Zhuo could not bear to see Yu perish, and bestowed upon me the 'Foundation Stealing Grand Art'. This period of time going to the Taihu Lake Spirit Domain was to find a Righteous Path Cultivator to seize their Foundation, and only in this way could I obtain temporary longevity, and then achieve Foundation Establishment."
Manager Liu listened, completely stunned.
There was actually such a thing in the world, because of poor Aptitude, he consumed his Lifespan, and then discovered that Waste Spirit Root could not achieve Foundation Establishment, so he used Demonic Path Secret Art to seize another person's Foundation, forcibly entering this Cultivation Realm.
Although his future potential was zero, for a Cultivator like him who was also from the bottom, it was still worth envying!
After all, whether he could achieve Foundation Establishment was still unknown, and the risk was very high.
And Wang Yu using this set of words was also after careful consideration. With the Inverse Spirit Three Young Masters' endorsement, those with family backgrounds would look down on Wang Yu, and those without backgrounds would at most covet the [Foundation Stealing Grand Art].
Those who wanted this kind of Secret Method with serious side effects were mostly in the Qi Condensation Stage, and would not bring much trouble.
And the Inverse Spirit Three Young Masters who knew the Inside Story would also actively help him cover it up. After all, having cultivated the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation, his future was boundless.
With existing friendship and investment, increasing investment was inevitable, why share it with others.
This backer was now established, his future path was worry-free!
Today, he could use Manager Liu's mouth to spread this set of words out, preemptively nipping trouble in the bud.
If someone took risks, then there was no helping it, this was trouble that was bound to be faced. Hiding in the dark was not as good as actively drawing them out.
They were silent all the way, and smoothly completed the registration.
Turning his head, he left Frigid Blood Peak, leaving Manager Liu there in a daze.
...
...
Various Halls Market, Affairs Hall.
The person in charge of affairs here was a Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Cultivator, whom Wang Yu had not met before. Holding the Foundation Establishment Token given by Frigid Blood Peak, he stepped forward and respectfully said:
"Inner Sect Disciple Wang Yu of Frigid Blood Peak, has recently achieved Foundation Establishment, and has come to register and receive Foundation Establishment benefits."
"Frigid Blood Peak's newly advanced Foundation Establishment?"
This person wore a hibiscus crown, dressed in a dark green silk crane cloak, his steps were noble, and his temperament was refined. He did not seem like someone from the Demonic Path, but more like a Daoist of the Righteous Path.
"Yes."
Wang Yu lowered his head, his etiquette strict and proper. To be able to serve as the Hall Master of a Hall in the Various Halls Market, not to mention Cultivation Level and Strength, his Identity must be extremely noble.
"Rise, wait a moment."
Soon.
The person left for a moment, and then came out from the inner hall again, throwing a Storage Pouch to Wang Yu and saying.
"You are an Inner Sect Disciple promoted, there are two choices.
"One is to maintain Disciple Identity. At the next True Inheritor selection, you can accept the True Inheritor Trial mission and contend for a True Inheritor position.
"The second is to become a Deacon. You can obtain a High-Grade Residence in Frigid Blood Market, and you can choose a position in the Various Halls Market, receiving an annual Salary of five thousand Spirit Stones."
Wang Yu did not hesitate.
"I choose the second."
Speaking of which, he had indeed had thoughts about the True Inheritor position, especially after deciding to stay and develop in the Demonic Path, the True Inheritor status could provide him with a lot of help.
Not choosing it now was actually a matter of practicality.
Wei Chong's example was right before his eyes. He was not sure whether he would also end up in this situation. To put it bluntly, the risk was too great, and no matter how high the reward was, it was just a pie in the sky, useless.
Secondly, the True Inheritor selection was once every two hundred years. For Yan Ling's generation to determine the winner, it would take at least twenty to thirty years, while the next Inner Sect Grand Competition would be a hundred years later.
Only those in the top ten would be qualified to compete.
If there were no accidents, he should be at Core Formation Stage by then, and could be listed as a Peak Elder position.
He would also be able to learn the Core Inheritance of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. Contending for True Inheritor placed himself in a dangerous situation, which was slightly unworthy.
Moreover, he used the Foundation Stealing Grand Art as an excuse. If he really became a True Inheritor, it would be very easy for people to see through his flaws during the Foundation Establishment Stage.
When he broke through to the Core Formation Stage and stepped into the limelight, exposing the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Spell would be inconsequential.
"Since you have made your choice, do you have a position you are interested in?"
"Evil God Market Law Enforcement Hall, Wang Yu was previously a Law Enforcement Disciple there."
As soon as these words came out, this Hall Master with a special temperament was momentarily surprised, and said, "You actually know those three Spoiled Brats… very well, very well."
After a moment of silence, he continued to introduce.
"In the Storage Pouch given to you, there are higher-level Sect benefits, including a set of First Rank High-Grade Magic Robe, a high-level Storage Pouch (fifty cubic meters), and a Second Stage Cultivation Method Exchange Token."
"Since you have chosen the second path, I will also give you a Second Stage Law Enforcement Token, and accessories to match your Identity. With this Token, you can command the Law Enforcement Disciples of a Market. Go."
"Yes."
Wang Yu did not ask any more questions. Since he had obtained what he wanted, there was no need to linger. His time was also quite tight.
As for leaving the Sect and establishing a Residence, not every Foundation Establishment Cultivator was qualified. It was necessary to apply to the Sect. This matter would most likely fall on the Inverse Spirit Three Young Masters. After the affairs here were dealt with, he would have to make a trip.
Now, it was time to go to the Technique Transmission Hall to get the Second Stage Cultivation Method of the Cold Blood Art. Don't look down on the [Cold Blood Ascending Spirit Art] he had derived. In the Sect, there was a proper and formal advancement Cultivation Method.
Moreover, it was different from the direction of his derivation. The techniques, Secret Methods, Magic Artifacts, and Elixir Formulas that came with it were all obtainable items, and their Value was outstanding.
The road to the Technique Transmission Hall was even more familiar. In a short while, he arrived, and handed over his Token.
An Inheritance Jade Slip was delivered into his hands.
Divine Sense observation:
High-Grade Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method [Heavenly Cold Shadow Blood Art], can smoothly cultivate to the Core Formation Realm, but the part about Aptitude improvement within it has completely disappeared, all of it is to strengthen the Effect of Ice Attribute.
Attached Second Grade Elixir Formula · Ice Spirit Pill (Cultivation Level), Cold Moon Pill (required for Movement Technique Cultivation)
Second Grade Magic Artifact refining Method · Heavenly Cold Spear, Shadow Blood Sword, Snow Concealment Ice Needle. (The grade is determined by Materials and the Means of the Refiner)
Lower Grade Second Order Technique · Freezing Rain Technique, Icy Sword Aura.
Mid-Grade Second Order Technique · Moon Chasing Spear, Shadow Blood Nine Swords.
Tier 2 High-Grade Technique · Frost Moon Wings (Movement Technique), Ice Wheel Technique, Extreme Ice Wild Slaughter.
Foundation Establishment Secret Method · Ice Coffin Seal, Absorb Cold Technique, Breathless Incantation.
This was all the Methods recorded in the Inheritance Jade Slip. Wang Yu could not learn all of them, he did not have that much time, but there were still many good Means among them.
As expected of a complete Second Grade Inheritance.
Both Elixir Formulas were good, but he was not interested in any of the Magic Artifacts, they were far inferior to Techniques.
Freezing Rain Technique, changing the environment could give him an advantage, learn!
Frost Moon Wings should be a Movement Technique to cultivate with Cold Moon Pill, also must learn. His sights were always set high, all three High-Grade Techniques and three Secret Methods must be learned.
Among the Secret Methods, Absorb Cold Technique was a Secret Method to assist Cultivation in an environment with abundant Ice Spiritual Power, its Value was the highest.
Breathless Incantation, as the name suggests, was used to conceal Aura, just in time for Night Concealment Spell to be offline, he would use it in conjunction with Invisibility Incantation in the future.
Ice Coffin Seal went without saying.
