Chapter 178 Alchemy Art Advancement

Chapter 178 Alchemy Art Advancement

This matter would cause some damage to Person Wang's prestige, but that was in the eyes of outsiders.

To the factions that had been entrenched in the Inner City for a long time, City Lord Wang's means of turning his hand to summon clouds and overturning it to summon rain was suffocating, and no one knew if he would suddenly reveal even more Trump Cards.

It had an unexpectedly effective result in solidifying the Alliance of Interests.

Although the crowd had many complaints, they were still at the Qi Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Level, and this bit of backlash was something he could bear.

As for Core Formation, City Lord Wang's Mountain Sweeping Demon Finding Secret Technique was about to reach Perfection. In the future, he would regularly sweep through the City, and if there were Core Formation Cultivators, he would not leave the City Lord's Mansion.

"You must take responsibility."

Having resolved this major matter, Jin Miaoshan, who had just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion wanting to discuss the subsequent details, was suddenly controlled by a single sentence from Wang Yu.

"You… what do you mean?"

"Literal meaning. For your sake, Person Wang will not be able to leave the City Lord's Mansion for a very long time in the future. All Cultivation Resources from your Golden Abundance Pavilion must be delivered to my door."

"This…"

"Of course, I will pay the Spirit Stones that are due."

Jin Miaoshan gritted her teeth. She couldn't remember clearly how many times this was today. Her teeth were itching fiercely… she couldn't help but want to grind them.

"I understand. This is the Honored Guest Token of the Golden Abundance Pavilion. The status is equivalent to a Core Formation Cultivator. Even if I leave the Gui Ling Branch Pavilion, the newly appointed Pavilion Lord will act at their discretion."

"Thank you."

Wang Yu unceremoniously took the Honored Guest Token and spread out his hands.

"My Spirit Object."

"…Give me a year."

"So long?"

"Do you take me for a Wishing Star? Thinking you can get whatever you want."

"Alright."

Wang Yu did not press further. He knew the difficulty involved. With the Nether River Pact in place, it couldn't exceed ten years, otherwise it would be a breach of contract.

Just one year, he could afford to wait.

Seeing that there was nothing else, the two stared at each other, silent for a long time. Jin Miaoshan still asked.

"Did you plan everything from the beginning?"

"How is that possible!"

Wang Yu said speechlessly.

"It was your subordinates who wouldn't let me leave. What could I do? A Late Core Formation Stage expert wanted to kill me, and I wasn't allowed to run? Fellow Daoist Jin is taking herself too seriously."

"Sigh——"

"I understand."

Letting out a long sigh, Jin Miaoshan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly invited, "Brother Wang, would you like to explore the Eastern Pole Capital with Miaoshan?"

"Hmm?"

Wang Yu was truly astonished this time. Even though the two had signed the Nether River Pact, and were not allowed to harm each other by any means within a hundred years, this kind of invitation was too reckless.

Did she really not realize it?

"You'd better not go in, hurry back. Once today's events spread, you will definitely be questioned. Fellow Daoist Jin might as well think about how to escape punishment.

"As for the Eastern Pole Capital… countless people are waiting for you to go~"

Having said that, Wang Yu walked towards the Main Hall of the City Lord's Mansion, also taking away the Corpse of the Core Formation Elder that had been hanging for a short while. Unfortunately, the Storage Ring on his hand had been taken away by Jin Miaoshan.

Today's matter ended anticlimactically, but for Cloud Ridge State, the Gui Ling Incident was enough to be called Textbook-like classic, further aided by the Heavenly Timing [Eastern Extremes Capital Anomalous Phenomenon]!

If this link were missing, it would have been difficult to even begin to incite everyone, because they knew they couldn't break in. But with Core Formation Cultivators, it was completely different.

And the fact that it could end with a narrow escape was also because there were Core Formation Cultivators. Their purposefulness was stronger, and they better understood the Value of a Nascent Soul Overlord.

Under multiple factors, they still retreated. There were many details worth talking about, and even some busybodies who regarded City Lord Wang's words today as a Guiding Principle.

They read it daily, trying to understand the meaning behind each character.

It was like doing Reading Comprehension~

Of course, the matter of Guiling City had ended, but the troubles of the Golden Abundance Pavilion would be far from over. To expect Demonic Cultivators to shut up was wishful thinking.

All they had left was a mouth to mutter with, and it was impossible to silence them completely. In fact, as the distance increased, it would gradually become more and more outrageous.

Especially since an Image Projection had been played over Guiling, and some busybodies had even recorded it a second time, secretly selling it to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Unsurprisingly, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion indeed spent a large sum of money to acquire it, and then continuously copied it, spreading this set of evidence—Image Projection + Sound Recording—throughout the entire Crimson Kite Demon Domain.

It extremely impacted the Golden Abundance Pavilion's business. The two sides' business dealings had never formed such a great defeat.

Then Wang Yu cooperated with Jin Miaoshan to record another set of images.

It stated that the previous ones were all fake, that someone had disguised themselves as him, deliberately smearing the Image of the Golden Abundance Pavilion, intending to provoke conflict between the Overlords behind them.

It had to be said, this Conspiracy Theory had a wider audience.

The Golden Abundance Pavilion also activated high-level spies planted in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Identical smearing images also spread throughout the Crimson Kite Demon Domain, which infuriated the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

If there were no accidents, in the next few months or even years, both sides would be fiercely exposing each other's Scandalous Material, slandering each other to death.

These matters.

Were temporarily irrelevant to Wang Yu, but he was ultimately affected.

For example, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he shouldn't even think about entering with his real face~

"Since there's nothing to do anyway, let's just Cultivation, disciple… go help your teacher buy some Spirit Herbs back."

...

...

Three months later, Wang Yu's Deacon Career, 16th year, 2nd month.

The morning light was faint.

Golden warm sunlight cast in from the window onto the figure sitting cross-legged. Spring was gradually emerging, and the cold air between Heaven and Earth was decreasing.

[Storage Slot 3: Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art/Second Grade↑]

「Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art (0/100): Forty-eight Refinements a day, one hundred and twenty years to Perfection.」

"120 years…"

Wang Yu's pupils constricted slightly. Thinking about it, it made sense. Going further up was Third Grade Perfection Level Alchemy Technique. Others wouldn't even be able to achieve Perfection within one hundred and twenty years.

Supreme Grade Pills became scarcer the higher the Grade, and the added Value also increased. Sometimes, even an ordinary Third Grade Supreme Grade Healing Pill could help Third Grade Pill Refiners refine their Skill.

And Pill Refiners who could refine Third Grade Supreme Grade Pills would not find it a Difficult Problem to refine Rank 4 Pills for Nascent Soul Cultivators, at most the Grade wouldn't be high.

This Level of Skill was quite Rare. In the Demonic Path, which was not good at production, relevant Talent was even scarcer.

The Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art was originally a Third Grade Alchemy Technique Inheritance, but it was severely Incomplete. The Storage Slot's completion couldn't even create all of its Elixir Formulas from scratch.

From beginning to end, it was those few Fire Control Hand Seals, Extraction Methods, Pill Nourishing Incantation… and so on. Wang Yu's path of completion had also been very smooth.

Like an Upgrade, the only Elixir Formula attached to it, [Cold Dragon Elixir Formula], had changed quite a bit, with several more Spirit Herbs, which could increase the Pill Refining Effect of Cold Flame.

It had an especially miraculous Effect on Ice Attribute Pills.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, Rare Cold Jade, Third Grade Monster Core… tsk tsk, truly not cheap."

If he possessed Third Grade Cold Flame in advance, it would also count as a Trump Card, not weaker than Perfection Profound Yin Hand. His Flame Shaping Technique was already at Perfection Cultivation Practice.

This type of Offensive Technique, its Power primarily relied on Flame.

Since the Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art had Upgraded, Wang Yu put the [Ice Spirit Elixir Formula] into the Storage Slot. As a Second Grade Cultivation Enhancement Pills Elixir Formula, its Storage time was much shorter than Cultivation Methods and Mystical Arts.

Perhaps because the content was relatively small, Ice Spirit Pill Perfection only required one year.

Of course, even if this Elixir Formula was not at Perfection, Wang Yu could also try to refine Supreme Grade Ice Spirit Pills, but the success rate was Temporarily yet to be examined.

Alchemy Technique and Elixir Formula both at Perfection meant a 90% success rate. Even if only one side reached Perfection, one could try to refine, it would just cost more Spirit Stones.

Person Wang, now, what he lacked the least was Spirit Stones. His Reserve was still over three million, enough to use.

Summoning his errand-running disciples, he threw the Honored Guest Token of the Golden Abundance Pavilion to Jiang Li and Jiang Chuan. He was very amiable.

"Go, have these Spirit Herbs sent over from the Pavilion for me."

Jiang Li, Jiang Chuan: "..."

Difficult to disobey master's orders.

Because the Family Clan had explained the situation in advance, their expectations for Wang Yu were actually very low. Now, occasional Guidance and Medicinal Pills rewards were already quite good.

Moreover, they could also use the City Lord's Mansion's Resources for Cultivation, no worse than in the Family Clan, even better, because they had no competitors!

Over time, their Cultivation Level Increased rapidly.

Estimating that they could advance to the Late Qi Condensation Stage within five years, looking at them, Wang Yu remembered one thing.

After the Golden Abundance Pavilion sent over ten sets of Spirit Herbs for refining Ice Spirit Pills, Wang Yu also called Ying Dong and Ying Xue sisters in. All four disciples had grown up.

"In recent months, the Associated Mineral Vein of the Underground Spirit Vein has almost recovered. You go back to the Family Clan and notify the heads of the two families to come over."

The Spirit Vein Land was extremely important. The Formation Core of the City Lord's Mansion was located within it. When mining Spirit Stones, Wang Yu would personally enter the Spirit Vein to guard it, to prevent accidents.

At most in a year, those Derived Spirit Stones would be mined until only a thin layer remained, and they would have to wait another ten to twenty years Recovery Period.

This kind of thing was best left to veterans. His City Lord's Mansion was full of newcomers, who were clumsy and prone to accidents. It was still necessary to let the Gui Ling two families handle it.

After arranging this matter, he continued to have the Golden Abundance Pavilion prepare more Spirit Herbs for refining Ice Spirit Pills. Since he was going into Secluded Cultivation in the Spirit Vein Land, he would prepare more.

Then, he Entrusted them to purchase the Third-Order Corpse Refinement Art.

Old Man Liu's Corpse still retained considerable activity and vitality, and he had sealed and preserved it with the Ice Coffin Seal, placing it in the Treasure Vault of the City Lord's Mansion.

This thing was Supreme Grade Materials for refining Zombies.

Wang Yu had sold many Corpses to Celestial Corpse Peak before. Now, this Living Corpse of a Late Core Formation Stage expert, he wanted to keep it for himself and refine a helper.

According to Arrangement, the Three-Tailed Snow Fox Xue Yu was his Combat Partner at this Stage. Their Attributes were the same, and their Tacit Understanding was perfect, able to exert extremely strong Strength.

However, the enemies he faced were a bit tricky, and Xue Yu's Cultivation Realm was insufficient, and Cultivation Level couldn't increase quickly either.

Secluded Cultivation for Pill Refining could allow him to refine a batch of Supreme Grade Snow Fox Pills for it, and by the way, collect more Pills for Nurturing Spirit Beasts.

He refused to believe that feeding it various Supreme Grade Pills in different ways wouldn't be able to Increased Xue Yu's Strength.

This preparation.

Plus, the Guan and Jiang families preparing experienced miners also took some time, and it was almost a month and a half before they finally gathered Manpower.

City Lord's Mansion, Underground.

The so-called Heaven and Earth have Veins. Heaven Veins are Rare, hard to find throughout the ages! Earth Veins are common, including Spirit Veins, Dragon Veins, and Five Elements Veins, all transformed from Earth Veins.

Volcano Terrain mostly has Fire Veins, Rivers, Lakes, and Seas mostly have Water Veins, Famous Mountains and Great Rivers mostly have Dragon Veins, Lush Ancient Forests mostly have Wood Veins, and places where Metal and Iron Mine Mountains gather mostly have Metal Veins.

This kind of Five Elements Earth Veins with clear Attributes is often accompanied by multiple Spirit Veins, and sometimes even Treasure of Spirit Vein condensed by Heaven and Earth is born.

However, this kind of Treasure mostly comes from Dragon Veins.
