Chapter 11 A Twist of Fate

That day, Manager Liu acted forcefully and forcibly destroyed one of Wang Yu's arms.

It not only slapped Manager Duan in the face, but also hurt Su Zhenchuan's reputation. Wang Yu is not important; even if he dies, it won't affect Su Zhenchuan.

The problem is that Manager Duan remained indifferent.

He was the one who could represent Su Zhenchuan, and his silence was tantamount to admitting defeat, especially since he had just recently made a big show of recruiting Wang Yu.

This incident caused him to be implicated.

As for Manager Liu's arrogance, it stems from his true disciples.

Cold Blood Peak is the training ground of the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. Its status is already among the top of the Nine Peaks. This year, there are ten true disciples, all of whom are at the Foundation Establishment stage. Among them, there is even one with a water-type Heavenly Spirit Root.

Whoever is the first to break through to the Core Formation stage will receive the inheritance of the Nascent Soul True Monarch and be designated as the next Nascent Soul seed.

True disciples are selected every two hundred years. Only when the last true disciple breaks through to the Core Formation stage will a new true disciple be selected from among the tens of thousands of inner disciples. It is very rare to fill the vacancy midway.

The true master behind Steward Liu unexpectedly discovered a superior Core Formation spiritual item during one of his subordinates' tributes, which was perfectly suited to his main cultivation method.

then.

He immediately applied for a Tier 3 superior-grade Golden Core Pill, the Blood Demon Pill, and expects to become the first True Disciple to achieve Golden Core within ten years.

Like Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Core Pills are auxiliary pills for cultivators breaking through major realms. Due to different lineages, there are various kinds of Golden Core Pills.

The Blood Demon Pill is unique to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. It has an excellent effect on blood-based cultivation techniques, increasing the chance of forming a core by nearly 40%, which is outstanding.

With the aid of the Core Formation artifact, this disciple's breakthrough was almost a certainty. Once the news spread, his power naturally swelled, and he became increasingly arrogant.

This is a normal phenomenon in the demonic path; once they gain power, they become arrogant and will do anything to amass wealth.

Such a fortuitous coincidence made the other nine disciples green with envy. Since things had come to this point, there was no way to turn back, so they could only focus their efforts on their own disciples.

Want to try your luck, just in case?

Therefore, the incident of Manager Duan seeking him out again occurred by chance.

After hearing Manager Duan's explanation, Wang Yu already understood the situation.

Because of his previous indifference, Steward Duan's prestige among the spirit slaves was greatly damaged. Now, Steward Liu has the largest number of people under his command, approaching two thousand.

Manager Duan and another manager, Manager Liu, each had only six or seven hundred people. The Spirit Slave Management was the money bag for the three true disciples. If one side took more, the others would take less.

Spirit stones are an essential resource for gathering subordinates and expanding one's power.

Manager Duan continued.

“Wang Yu, you are a capable person. Even after what happened last time, you still have seven or eight spirit slaves who did not switch to other managers. The spirit sand you handed in this month is at least one tael and six mace.”

“In this respect, both Su Zhenchuan and I admire you. However, we should avoid dealing with Steward Liu for the time being. As long as you can rebuild the spirit slave team, not to mention the outer sect disciples, even the inner sect disciples will be a matter of a word from Su Zhenchuan.”

Wang Yu didn't want to eat this pancake.

Moreover, the situation is different now, making it much more difficult for him to persuade those people. Even those who are submissive will not frequently switch sides in a short period of time.

Unless a new batch of people is sent in, that's a different story.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; he had no right to refuse.

"Manager Duan, Wang Yu will do his utmost."

"Very good, this is the reward that Master Su is giving you in advance, take it."

Wang Yu took a jade slip, placed it between his eyebrows, and touched it with his mind. Instantly, streams of information flowed into his mind, and he memorized it all in a short time.

This is one of the wonderful uses of a cultivator's divine sense, which cannot leave the body in the early stages of Qi Refining.

Once one breaks through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, one can perceive the outside world outside the body with perfect clarity, and can imprint one's divine sense on magical artifacts, greatly enhancing their flexibility.

It has many uses.

The jade slip contains a rare secret technique. Secret techniques are not classified by grade; their effectiveness is the determining factor.

This technique is called the "Corpse Demon Secret Technique," created ten thousand years ago by the "Crippled Old Man," who was born with a disability, lacking an arm and a leg.

Fortunately, he possesses a mutated superior spiritual root, a rather rare "yin spiritual root." The Corpse Demon Secret Technique was created by him during his Nascent Soul stage, which can fuse with a zombie's arm to make up for its defects.

The secret technique that Su Zhen passed on was an incomplete version, with significant side effects.

His body had turned into a zombie, he had lost his desires, his lifespan had been shortened, his blood and qi were abnormal... and so on. There were seven or eight such symptoms, and the more Wang Yu looked at them, the more depressed he became.

Is this thing meant for people to practice with?

He thought it was some kind of elixir that could regenerate severed limbs, but now that he's eaten the cake, this is the result.

Manager Duan patted him on the shoulder, his expression playful.

"Once you complete the mission, Master Su will find you the severed arm of the Frost Corpse. This is a second-tier Fiend Corpse. Even if you cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you can still become one of the top experts in the Qi Refining stage."

Wang Yu's mental state had been pushed to its limit. After thanking him again, he left the elegant pavilion and returned to stone house number eighty-three.

Savor it carefully.

The decision to cut off one arm and one leg of those three spirit slaves last time was actually a decision he made after careful consideration. If it weren't for the incident with the true disciple of Cold Blood Peak, Steward Duan would definitely have been able to protect him, and the man surnamed Liu wouldn't have been so arrogant.

Unfortunately, fate is not in one's own hands.

This made him realize that everyone is the protagonist of their own world and a supporting character in someone else's world, so he needs to act cautiously and be careful.

Those who belong to the demonic path should not easily stand out; keeping their weapons hidden is the right thing to do.

This series of twists and turns has led him to a new problem: should he cultivate the Corpse Demon Secret Technique?

There are many side effects, but since the placement slot can increase the upper limit of Ice Sword Technique, it should also be able to work on Corpse Demon Arcane Technique to complete it.

It should be less difficult than creating something new.

He couldn't believe that the Nascent Soul Secret Technique would have so many flaws. It must be that Su Zhenchuan misinterpreted it. After all, the Heavenly Crippled Elder created this technique for his own use, so he would definitely make it perfect and leave no loopholes.

"Let's see how it goes first."

Remove the Blood Burning Technique from slot 2 and temporarily place the Corpse Demon Secret Technique there.

[Placement Slot 2: Corpse Demon Arcane]

"Corpse Demon Secret Technique (0/100): Practice 1,440 times a day, and you can master it in three months."

Wang Yu was quite surprised to see the number of times he practiced in a day. After all, practicing once a minute was really exaggerated, but it would still take three months to reach perfection.

If we wait for the placement slots to be filled, it will definitely take years, much longer than the Ice Sword Technique.

Without much hesitation, he removed the Corpse Demon Secret Technique and replaced it with the Blood Burning Technique in Unit 2. He still decided to prioritize his cultivation.

Besides normal comprehension, the Corpse Demon Secret Technique also requires practice.

"Nourish the blood with yin, and you will receive the benefits of the yin energy of heaven."

"Nourish your body with corpses and you will obtain an innocent demonic body."

"When the weather is cloudy, blood is transformed, and bones are reconnected and muscles are regenerated."

"Corpse energy transforms into veins, impervious to water and fire."

To put it bluntly, before actually reattaching the corpse arm, one needs to absorb Yin spiritual energy to modify one's own blood, and at the same time absorb corpse energy to invade one's own bones for deep modification.
