Chapter 153 Aptitude Rises Again, Three-Tailed Snow Fox
Chapter 153 Aptitude Rises Again, Three-Tailed Snow Fox
Elder Feixue seemed to be falling into a slumber from which she wouldn't wake.
Beside the Cold Pond, feeling the cold wind howling from all directions, even Wang Yu's physique felt a trace of coldness, showing that this place was extraordinary.
Feeling the increasingly weak breath behind him, Wang Yu suddenly turned his head, a bit of disbelief in his deepest heart.
"Just… just passed away like this?"
Just a wisp of Death Energy.
This thing is indeed a great weapon against old men on the verge of death, but the conditions for using it are a bit harsh, requiring personal contact. Other aspects are fine though.
As for Elder Feixue's personal belongings, Wang Yu absolutely cannot touch them. Core Formation Elders leave Soul Lamps in the Ancestral Hall of Frigid Blood Peak.
When a person dies, their lamp goes out. With such a short distance, they will definitely rush over in the first instance. He should still enter the Cold Pond.
Shaking his head, he summoned the Snow Jade Fox sleeping soundly in the Spirit Beast Pouch.
This Cold Pond is not only a Fortuitous Encounter for him, but also for the little fox. Its Aptitude is already above average, and it should be able to take advantage of the Cold Pond's Baptism to completely advance to an upper-grade Bloodline.
Monster Beast Bloodlines, the Third Grade is a watershed.
Lower-grade Bloodlines correspond to First Tier Monster Beasts, middle-grade Bloodlines correspond to Second Grade Monster Beasts, and upper-grade Bloodlines correspond to Third Grade Monster Beasts.
Only when Monster Beasts reach the Third Grade do they possess the intelligence of adult humans, and their Combat Strength will also be significantly improved. The Second Grade is equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child, and the First Tier is no different from wild beasts.
The above are all under normal circumstances. If it is a natural anomaly, with a rich Bloodline, possessing a Bloodline above upper-grade, then it is similar to Yu Tangtang's situation.
Born with the spirituality of a child, growing with age, naturally intelligent.
Once the Snow Jade Fox completes its Bloodline Upgrade, as long as it is properly nurtured, it can smoothly advance to the Third Grade, enough to accompany Wang Yu for hundreds of years. Its Potential is still very strong.
Taking off half of his clothes, baring his upper body, Wang Yu held the little fox in his arms and slowly stepped into the Cold Pond.
"Hiss——"
Extreme coldness invaded his Whole Body. He subconsciously activated his Perfection Cultivation Method, and the Mysterious blue light that remained in his blood after breaking through Foundation Establishment was activated as a stress response.
It was precisely the Effect of the Cultivation Method Enhancing Aptitude taking effect.
The special power continuously poured into his body from the Cold Pond was also baptizing everything about him from the outside in.
Deep within his body, the Returning Origin Ground.
Several months have passed since he completed the Profound Origin Demon Embryo. The Dual Spirit Root talisman imprint belonging to Wang Wu, and the incomplete Yin and Ice talisman imprint he condensed in his early years, have all disappeared.
They represented the origin of Spirit Roots, and had been completely digested by the Profound Origin Demon Embryo.
Wang Yu's own five Spirit Roots were rooted in the Demonic Embryo, less than the size of a fingernail, but as the external Spirit Root origins were digested, the Water, Wood, and Fire Spirit Roots all grew extremely rapidly.
Obviously, they were completely transformed for his own use.
At this moment, the Effects of the Cultivation Method and the Cold Pond were fully activated, and the Water Spirit Root in the Profound Origin Demon Embryo began to grow wildly, actually becoming equal to the Fire and Wood Spirit Roots, which were of High-Grade Aptitude.
This change gave Wang Yu a Premonition in his heart.
If one day, he could raise all five Spirit Roots to the level of Heavenly Spirit Roots, his physique might undergo some kind of special transformation.
This Premonition was mysterious and abstruse, but it was also what Cultivators trusted most. It was like a prophecy and revelation of the future, guiding Cultivators to advance on the most correct path.
Aptitude Increased, along with it, Wang Yu's affinity for Water, Ice, and Yin Spiritual Energy increased geometrically. Although Cultivation speed did not increase.
But the power of his Ice Attribute Techniques was definitely Increased to a new level, including learning Techniques that matched his attributes, he would also have more comprehension.
This is Aptitude! This… is Talent!
Comfortable.
Due to cultivating the Profound Origin Demon Embryo, Wang Yu's changes stopped quickly. He absorbed the abundant power in the Cold Pond while observing the Snow Jade Fox's changes.
The benefits it received were no less than Wang Yu's.
Since the Cold Pond can Enhance Aptitude, then for Spirit Beasts, it can purify Bloodlines and increase Potential! The two are interconnected, not to mention that the Snow Jade Fox itself is an Ice Attribute Spirit Beast.
In addition to attribute compatibility, it was often fed Supreme Grade Pills by Wang Yu until it was full, and its physical Foundation was also extremely good, even its mouth had become picky.
"Yoo——"
Not knowing how long had passed, under Wang Yu's distracted observation, the little fox suddenly raised its head and howled, its size increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a handsome large fox, its figure like a giant wolf, its body length exceeding two meters, and its shoulder height also exceeding one meter.
The most eye-catching thing was the giant furry tail dancing behind it. At the same time as its Bloodline advanced, it grew two new white Snow Fox tails.
"Three-Tailed Snow Fox!"
Wang Yu was slightly surprised. Advancing according to the number of tails is the most powerful Bloodline of the fox clan. It is said to come from the True Spirit in legends—[Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox]!
Ice Attribute mutation is not worth mentioning.
With the Nine-Tailed Bloodline, it means that the Snow Jade Fox Snow Jade has an evolution path like a beacon. If Treasures are in place, it may not be impossible to have another chance to evolve.
"I didn't expect your ancestors to be so extraordinary, it's a bargain for me. That Independent Cultivator Foundation Establishment who captured you was also a fool who didn't know the goods."
Wang Yu smiled happily, completely forgetting that the reason he kept the Snow Jade Fox and didn't sell it for Spirit Stones was because he liked its Ice Attribute and its cute and pretty appearance.
Pinching his fingers to calculate, nearly half a month had passed since he entered the Cold Pond.
Wang Yu subconsciously looked at a place outside the Cold Pond.
Elder Feixue was still standing there, already stiff. There were also two people wearing plum blossom patterned jackets with wide sleeves and headscarves, a man and a woman, seemingly Dao Companions.
When the two saw Wang Yu wake up, they took the initiative to speak.
"Fellow Daoist has been Cultivation for these past few days, and Fellow Daoist Feixue passed away standing up. Did you feel anything wrong in the middle?"
Wang Yu paused slightly, pretending to think, and soon shook his head.
"There were no abnormalities, but this Elder…"
The old woman sighed and said.
"Logically speaking, Fellow Daoist Feixue still had three to five years of Time left, but unexpectedly died so suddenly. It should be that the Hidden Wounds accumulated over the years erupted. In fact, it's normal."
"Yes, look at his face, there is no sign of pain."
The old man echoed, and then said to Wang Yu.
"Fellow Daoist, you can go down the mountain after you are done using the Cold Pond. Fellow Daoist Feixue's descendants are rushing here. Before then, no one is allowed to touch the items on his body."
"Junior will leave now."
Regardless of whether these two were acting, or had already searched through everything, it had nothing to do with him. It was just that he was still sighing in his heart at the power of Death Energy, it was truly terrifying.
Wang Yu put the Snow Jade Fox back into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Its Cultivation Level benefited from Bloodline evolution, directly Increased to First Order Peak Stage, and it could be considered for a Second Rank Breakthrough.
It could also be considered a benefit.
After dressing neatly, he quickly went down the mountain without any hesitation.
On the way, he encountered a crying person who looked like a man but was dressed like a woman, probably a direct descendant of Perfected Person Flying Snow. Their Cultivation Level was only Late Qi Condensation Stage, and they were not old.
The two glanced at each other from a distance and passed by.
......
......
Mid-second month of Wang Yu's Deacon career, a month had passed since the Cold Pond Baptism. After the Baptism, not only did his Ice Attribute Talent increase linearly.
In the half month of quiet Cultivation, his Cultivation Realm also gained extremely High benefits, and he condensed 10 drops of Ice Attribute True Essence for no reason, which was also an unexpected joy.
His Cultivation Level steadily Increased to 23.5 drops, already more than one-fifth of the way through First Layer Foundation Establishment. This Cultivation speed is much faster than his Qi Condensation Stage.
One drop of True Essence can equal a thousand strands of Spirit Energy, equivalent to a Great Perfection of Qi Condensation. Going to the Cold Pond is roughly equivalent to cultivating the Spirit Energy Quantity of ten Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.
How could it not be pleasing!
The Snow Jade Fox also received tremendous benefits. After Bloodline evolution, not only did its Cultivation Level increase, but its physical Strength, Bloodline Abilities, and number of Secret Methods also Increased greatly.
Added: Ice Wind Technique, Extreme Cold Illusion Technique, Ice Fox Claw, Snowdrift Trace, Spirit Fox Protection, Three Tails Secret Technique… and other Capabilities.
Completely updated and replaced, Strength greatly increased.
Now it is not only used as a combat auxiliary, but when it achieves Second Grade Breakthrough, it can already be used as the main Combat Strength.
Moreover, the Bloodline Inheritance of Spirit Beasts, in addition to some Foundation Capabilities, these Bloodline Mystical Arts all have Upgrade versions, and they will naturally awaken when it achieves Breakthrough.
Wang Yu only needs to consider how to nurture Snow Jade.
This is the convenience of upper-grade Bloodline Spirit Beasts. No wonder Beast Taming Dao Cultivators have strong Combat Strength. Relatively speaking, Resource consumption is one point lower than Cultivators of other Daos.
If he catches a few more Spirit Beasts with Potential like Snow Jade, fighting against opponents of the same Cultivation Realm, using numbers to overwhelm, how could Beast Tamers not be powerful?!
After teasing it for a while, Wang Yu needed to consider Snow Jade's Upgrade issue. Before leaving the Sect and establishing his own estate, having such a trustworthy helper is of extraordinary significance.
High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill is also Effective for Spirit Beasts. Wang Yu has more than 100,000 Spirit Stones in hand, enough to buy one.
He decided to ask Tantai Chan. More than ten years ago, he was targeted by Su Qingshan because of the High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill refined by this woman. With his Relationship with Tangtang, he could buy one, no big problem.
It had been more than two months since he returned, and he had not been to Tantai Herb Garden yet.
"It's good to ask, the sooner it achieves Breakthrough, the sooner it can play a role."
Just as he was about to go out.
A illusory jade talisman suddenly flew from afar. It was Gu Zhengshun's News, asking him to meet at the old place to talk.
Without hesitation, Wang Yu decisively postponed the Snow Jade matter.
Third Tier Corpse Arm—I'm coming!
Soon.
Eight Treasures Shop.
Gu Zhengshun, whom he hadn't seen for a while, had also smoothly advanced to Qi Condensation Ninth Layer in Cultivation Level, and had gone a long way in this stage, not far from Peak-Grade.
His appearance was still the same as before, with a docile and obedient look, but the gloom hidden in his eyes just proved that he had not been living well During this Time.
When he saw Wang Yu, Gu Zhengshun's expression became even more complicated.
"When you asked me about buying a Third Tier Corpse Arm, I guessed that you had achieved Foundation Establishment Breakthrough. Now that I see it with my own eyes, I still find it unbelievable."
Wang Yu chuckled.
"Just lucky, without the Foundation Stealing Grand Art, Wang Yu would be nothing."
Gu Zhengshun raised his head, with a look of disbelief.
"Brother Wang, these words are only useful for deceiving others. Gu does not believe them. With your Capability, you would be willing to use the Foundation Stealing Grand Art to achieve Foundation Establishment."
Wang Yu nodded and said.
"Since there is a Foundation Stealing Grand Art, why can't there be a Pill Transformation Technique? Junior Brother Gu should broaden his thinking. Demonic Path Secret Methods are so numerous, even if you take a Shortcut, there is still a road to heaven."
"Maybe."
These words were purely nonsense. Wang Yu's Capability to talk nonsense had Perfected to the Pinnacle, and he picked up a Spirit Bamboo Sprout with his chopsticks.
"Tell me, how is the matter going, are there any sellers?"
