Morning.
The Rebellious Spirit Three Young Masters, rarely seen rising early, saw Wang Yu's figure moving his body in the Courtyard and praised with admiration. "Fourth Brother's willpower is extraordinary, to actually be able to overcome human laziness, such firm will, a model for us all~"
"..."
Wang Yu was forced to stop his movements by these words, speechless in his heart.
This praise is too awkward.
Even with his face as thick as a City Wall, he couldn't quite bear it, so he proactively said, "Have the three Elder Brothers come looking for this younger brother for something?"
Elder Brother this, Elder Brother that.
He used it effortlessly, not feeling any shame at all.
In fact, the Rebellious Spirit Three Young Masters were almost three times his age, all young men over a hundred years old.
In the Mortal World, not to mention Elder Brother, they'd have to be called ancestors.
"Naturally, we have good things to find you for."
Zuoqiu Ming gracefully strode forward, stepping over the Corridor railing to reach Wang Yu.
"Yesterday's agreed upon Conditions, today one portion can already be fulfilled.
This is Frigid Blood Peak's
"Valid for ten years, Fourth Brother can go anytime, how is it—can it show our sincerity?"
Wang Yu took the Token and probed it with his Divine Sense, surprisingly, even the route was already planned out.
This thing was originally used to nurture True Inheritor Disciples.
It's said that for each Frigid Blood Peak Inner Sect Grand Competition, the top ten, once they complete the True Inheritor Trial Mission, will receive a large amount of Resource rewards.
This Cold Pond is one of them.
His "Cold Blood Ascending Spirit Art" had already reached Perfection, and his Realm had also broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Cultivation Method's Effect of increasing Cold Attribute Aptitude could actually be activated.
Before, in the Wilderness, it was inconvenient for prolonged Cultivation and transformation.
After returning, his Trade with the Rebellious Spirit Three Young Masters made him hear about the Cold Pond Effect, so he endured it.
He planned to activate it together when soaking in the Cold Pond.
The two Overlapping might produce unexpected surprises.
"Thank you for your Help, Brother Ming, I am naturally satisfied."
"Hahaha~ Good that you're satisfied, there's still one more thing."
Zuoqiu Ming patted Wang Yu's shoulder, using his body to shield them, secretly pointed at Yu Xing, and whispered, "Old Yu lent you the Heavenly Enlightenment Meditation Cushion for five years, when it expires you have to return it to him.
This thing is Sect property, so external transfer, the matter of opening a Prefecture in Town City, how about fulfilling it after five years?
So you don't have to run around."
——Reasonable!
Wang Yu naturally wouldn't haggle over such trivial matters, and said with a smile.
"Don't mention five years, ten years is also fine.
It's just right that I need time to perfect Foundation Establishment Stage Mystical Arts and Secret Incantations.
Even if you gave it to me now, I wouldn't be Departing for a while."
"That's good then, although the principle is like this, things still need to be clarified to avoid misunderstandings between us brothers."
"Person Wang is not someone who is eager for quick success and instant benefits, nor someone with treacherous intentions, you can rest assured."
The four of them immediately showed friendly smiles.
......
......
Since that day, another three days passed.
Wang Yu finally contacted Gu Zhengshun, stating that he wanted to buy a Third Grade Cultivated Corpse's left Corpse Arm, preferably an Armored Corpse, Divine Strength Corpse would be best, and the price was negotiable.
In Gu Zhengshun's reply, he expressed difficulty, asking Wang Yu to give him a month, and he would find a way to ask around.
After all, Third Grade Cultivated Corpses, no matter what type, are already in the ranks of the strong, not only are they expensive, but their numbers are also relatively scarce, without Channel relationships it's very difficult to obtain them.
His Relationship with Gu Zhengshun was quite delicate, from cooperation to resentment, and then back to reconciliation.
After returning to the Sect, it was even more of a Trade Relationship.
Many of Wang Yu's Harvestings were Sell-off with his Help.
This time contacting him for Trade was not only to get a Third Grade Corpse Arm, but also to deal with the large number of Corpses and Spoils of War frozen in his Storage Pouch... and so on.
Although the Storage Pouch can hold many things, time still passes inside.
Corpses will spoil if left for too long, freezing them can maintain them for a long time.
The most important thing is to ensure that the Spiritual Qi within doesn't dissipate and the spirituality isn't lost.
Only Corpses of this kind have Recycling Value.
Being busy was also fulfilling.
That Noon, Wang Yu, who was cross-legged and circulating energy, trying to absorb the Midday Sun Essence, suddenly had a Spirit Light flash from his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist.
It was the Snow Jade Fox.
Its size had grown Not Few, about the size of a Shiba Inu, with snow-white fur all over its body, and ice-blue Markings at the tip of its tail, ear rims, and forehead, both cute and Mysterious.
"Yoyo~"
After jumping out on its own initiative, it chirped a few times at Wang Yu, and the aura on its body began to grow wildly.
"Breakthrough?"
Wang Yu was slightly surprised, but didn't stand there blankly.
Instead, according to the small Skill in the Beast Taming Method he had Harvested before, he cast bursts of Ice Attribute Spirit Seals, probing into the Snow Jade Fox's body.
Assisting it in its Breakthrough.
This is one of the orthodox Cultivation methods for Beast Tamers, able to use the [Beast Taming Spirit Seal] to connect with Spirit Beasts, mutually assisting each other's Cultivation.
It's a Relationship of life and death on the Path of Cultivation, both master and servant and Blood Relative.
Therefore, after a Beast Taming Dao Cultivator falls, the Spirit Beasts they leave behind often continue to Help their descendants.
Of course, this is the normal situation, there are also unorthodox evil Means of exploiting Beast Taming.
With Wang Yu's True Essence Help, it took almost No Skill, and the Bottleneck hindering the Snow Jade Fox's Upgrade was broken.
"Late First Stage, equivalent to around Qi Condensation Seventh Layer, you've indeed encountered a good time."
The Snow Jade Fox swayed its head, revealing a joyful smile.
Although it couldn't understand what Wang Yu said, it could feel the idea of good things approaching that Wang Yu conveyed to it.
With a "wow" sound, it pounced into his arms and rubbed against him.
"Such a charming and naive Spirit Beast, having you with me, I don't have to worry about being too lonely.
Rather than choosing a day, we might as well seize the moment, today I'll take you to see the Cold Pond."
Having made a temporary decision, Wang Yu left the Evil God Market Law Enforcement Hall, instructing a few disciples to notify Zhuo Shouqing to take over, and he returned to Frigid Blood Peak for a trip.
Although it wasn't his first time up the mountain, the Spiritual Qi concentration, magnificent scenery, and ultra-low temperature environment here were still a blessed land for Cultivation that every Ice Attribute Cultivator yearned for.
According to the rules, he would have to Breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage to have the qualification to open an Immortal's Cave here, truly not easy.
"Is it this way..."
After going up Frigid Blood Peak, the route guidance was to a place he had never been to before, looking at the direction, it was gradually upwards and towards a rear corner Slot.
Not long after.
A transparent White Rock Palace with eight sides came into view, not large in scale, in the middle was a pool of ice-blue Cold Pond, covered with a thin layer of mist.
The surroundings were desolate and uninhabited, like a piece of abandoned Wilderness.
"Halt."
Suddenly.
A figure abruptly appeared in front of him, wearing a Jacket with overlapped front and narrow sleeves, water-patterned shirt, and a long ice-silk robe over it, with an aged face and hair that was black and white mixed.
His Aura had surprisingly reached the Core Formation Stage, and Wang Yu quickly paid his respects.
"Junior greets Elder."
"Rise, do you have a Token?"
"Yes."
After handing over the Token, the Core Formation Elder chuckled lightly.
"As expected, you're the one who received Zuoqiu Ming's favor.
Do you know the Wonderful Effect of this Cold Pond?"
"Basic Knowledge."
The Core Formation Elder shook his head and turned around, saying.
"Although the Cold Pond is good, the favor of the Zuoqiu Family is even more valuable.
"If you give up now, I can negotiate Conditions with Zuoqiu Ming on your behalf.
If you insist on going in, you will inevitably be involved in the power transition of a Nascent Soul Family Clan in the future, the consequences... no need for this old man to say more."
Wang Yu frowned deeply.
This suddenly appearing obstacle, seemingly the guardian of the Cold Pond, should actually be misunderstanding something.
Or rather, the content he imagined was completely different from the actual situation.
Does he think Zuoqiu Ming owes him a favor?
As for being involved in the matter of power transition, he was already mentally prepared.
If it's not chaotic, how can lower-level Cultivators climb up?
"Elder, no need to say more, this Cold Pond, junior is determined to enter."
The Core Formation Elder was silent upon hearing this, and then spoke again.
"If you give up, I can give you three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, plus a Tier 2 High-Grade Technique, how about it?"
Heh, so that's the idea he's playing.
Wang Yu immediately understood his scheme, and couldn't help but glance at the Token being tightly held by the Elder.
What 'thinking for your sake,' it's just coveting the Fortuitous Encounter of this Cold Pond Baptism.
He doesn't dare to offend Zuoqiu Ming's side, so he can only try to persuade him nicely to give up, how realistic!
The Cold Pond can Increased Ice Spiritual Qi affinity, equivalent to indirectly Increased Spirit Root Aptitude, just not as comprehensive as Spirit Root itself.
It is itself a treasure, of considerable Value.
Wanting to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Mystical Arts and three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones shows there's not much sincerity.
Although Wang Yu was disgusted by his behavior, he didn't want to completely offend him.
So he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you want the Slots for Cold Pond Baptism, it should be for your descendants, right?"
Being seen through his scheme, this person said disdainfully.
"So what if it is?
Just say whether you agree or not.
This old man is 'Perfected Person Flying Snow,' you may have heard of this name, you should know my prestige."
"Heh--"
The old thing is still putting on airs, what Flying Snow Flying Flowers, just a nobody.
Wang Yu's expression became forceful, and he said impolitely:
"Perfected Person Flying Snow Elder, if you want it, go ask Zuoqiu Ming for it.
If you think I am easy to bully, why not just forcibly seize it?
At such an old age, still running around for your descendants.
"Aren't you afraid of offending too many people and ending up childless and grandchildless in your old age?!"
"You--"
Perfected Person Flying Snow Elder was momentarily enraged.
Wang Yu observed the remaining amount of his life Aura, judging that the other party's age was at least seven or eight hundred years old.
Although he was Late Core Formation Stage, he was only at the Seventh Level of Realm.
In this life, there was absolutely no chance to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and he was even facing the problem of imminent death from old age.
Pushing aside the obstructing old man, Wang Yu patted his shoulder, and a wisp of pure Death Qi, accumulated over many years, imperceptibly injected into Perfected Person Flying Snow Elder's body through physical contact.
In a situation where his Lifespan was already running out, the aura of decay and old age on his body became even stronger.
However, he himself had been in this state for a long time and didn't notice that wisp of Death Qi at all.
"Your days are numbered, why bother making enemies for your descendants."
As the words fell, Wang Yu walked towards the Cold Pond, his eyes full of cold killing intent.
Death Qi is one of the strongest Means to deal with old people.
He had never used this Trump Card, both because he hadn't met the right person, and because there hadn't been a suitable Opportunity.
Now that he has encountered one, it will become the last straw that crushes the other party.
Originally, he wouldn't have gone this far, but... Person Wang absolutely does not accept threats!
Behind him, Perfected Person Flying Snow Elder seemed to be trembling with anger, his body shook a few times, and in the end, he didn't stop Wang Yu from entering the Cold Pond.
He didn't have the guts, nor did he dare to forcibly seize it.
He could only sigh in dejection, not knowing why he felt particularly tired today.
So tired... so sleepy.
