Chapter 149 Haezhi Crown

Adding to that the thirteen soul-path techniques, Wang Yu's learning tasks are too heavy to be left entirely to the placement panel.

Moreover, when you first break through a realm, you should focus on building up your cultivation techniques in the early stages. Once your progress slows down, you can then further enhance your combat power.

He thought about it for a moment.

The first thing to learn is the escape technique; it's the most important thing. Relying on the placement bar, even without the assistance of matching pills, you can forcibly master it.

The Corpse Demon Secret Technique is a prime example.

Next is a suitable foundation-building magic weapon. You don't need to refine this yourself; you can just pay the masters in the weapon-refining hall to do it.

Next is the Refining Spirit Technique "Ancient Soul Technique". It does not need to be placed at the Perfection stage; just place it at the Beginner level and you can cultivate it on your own.

After all, many soul-based techniques require a powerful soul and divine sense to enhance their power.

Next is the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique. This must be upgraded to the second level, and the better the top-grade Ice Spirit Pill is refined as soon as possible.

After only a cursory review, Wang Yu felt his scalp tingle. There were just too many things to deal with, and he would have to spend the next few years in a flurry of activity—a happy kind of trouble.

I took a deep breath and headed out of the Dharma Transmission Hall.

Wang Yu put on the first-tier superior-grade robe belonging to the Foundation Establishment Deacon. It was a moon-white robe with silver thread and dark floral patterns, which was quite comfortable to wear.

The accessory was a xiezhi crown.

This item is engraved with a divine sheep, symbolizing order and judgment. It is an expression of clan rules and law enforcement authority. After changing his clothes, Wang Yu looked brand new, and his handsome young face had an added air of majesty.

Take off, destination: Evil God's Mansion.

He had to finish all his business in one day, and then he could focus on his spiritual practice.

When he arrived at the Evil God's Enforcement Hall, he saw his elite enforcers bowing to him, and many of them were glancing at him with shifty eyes, as if trying to confirm whether they recognized him.

"Sir, you've come here to..."

"I am the fourth law enforcement deacon of the Evil God's Workshop. I hope you will all take good care of me in the future."

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and Wang Yu was quite polite to these second-generation rich kids, after all, their elders were at least at the Core Formation stage.

They come to the Enforcement Hall for three reasons: the money is plentiful, there are few tasks, and their backgrounds are similar—they're all from the same circle, unlike those from humble backgrounds who were born at a different starting point.

For them, obtaining a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is easy with a little effort, making it 80% easier to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator than for ordinary people.

As for achieving the Core Formation stage, that remains to be seen; they will have to compete for the resources at this stage themselves.

In the future, when we work together, there may be times when we can leverage their connections.

By proactively lowering his stance, he can more easily integrate with others, after all, he is a true grassroots individual who has relied entirely on his own efforts for his cultivation.

"My name is Wang Yu. Are Lord Zhuo, Lord Zuoqiu, and Lord Yu present?"

The disciple on guard immediately replied, "Lord Yu is here. The other two lords should be at Qingji Tower and will not return until tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu still stepped inside. So what if not everyone was there? He wouldn't choose to leave the sect in the short term; they would be able to communicate with each other sooner or later.

The Enforcement Hall is a typical symmetrical rectangular building. Entering from the front door, there are long corridors on both sides that are raised one foot above the ground, open to the outside and inside, with bamboo mats and wind chimes hanging on them.

The area is divided into four sections. The front section is the courtyard, which serves as the entrance. Due to the spirit-gathering array, there is a thin layer of spiritual mist floating in the air.

Artificial hills and rocks, man-made streams, and colorful koi swimming in them—this place, though described as a public office, feels more like a private residence and should be renovated.

The second area is the office area, which includes a trial room, a torture chamber, temporary solitary confinement cells, and a small open space specifically for people to watch.

The third area is the residential area, which can only be described as luxurious, far more magnificent than Su Zhenchuan's courtyard on Cold Blood Peak.

The case is solved; it had definitely been renovated!

The fourth area is the prison area, which is not only covered with a large number of arrays and restrictions, but also has biological traps on the outermost layer. It houses a Ghost Hand Vine at the early stage of the third tier and two Insight Stone Lions.

The Ghost Hand Vine, which usually resembles a dark-colored ivy, will teach anyone who dares to enter the prison without a token, or anyone who tries to escape, what cruelty truly means.

The Dongming Stone Lion is a special kind of creature, belonging to the category of spirits and monsters that have come to life from stones.

Their eyes have the ability to see through illusions, discerning the authenticity of tokens, whether the visitor's identity is being disguised, and so on.

They prefer to stay still. For the Dongming Stone Lions, staying there and enduring wind and rain is a daily activity for humans, and they like it that way.

And here.

This will be Wang Yu's office and place of practice in the future, so it's natural that he needs to learn about it properly.

"Master Yu."

Just stepped into the threshold of the third area.

Wang Yu called out from afar. Although he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and Yu Xing only had the cultivation of the third level of Foundation Establishment, the proper etiquette could not be neglected.

The works of Ni Ling San Shao are of very high quality.

"Wang Yu?!"

First came surprise, then doubt, and then shock. Yu Xing vividly demonstrated the three stages of psychological change in front of him.

He quickly walked over and kept looking him up and down.

"Goodness, you actually succeeded. You didn't use the Foundation-Seizing Technique, did you?"

Wang Yu shook his head: "The Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation. In order to master this secret technique, I suffered greatly and almost lost myself in the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon."

“You really are a freak, so be it.” With that, Yu Xing suddenly took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message to Zhuo Shouqing and Zuo Qiuming.

Then he continued speaking to him.

"So you've been practicing this mantra for the past few years?"

"Yes, I also verified the effect and went home. It's a long story, let's talk about it together when Lord Zhuo and Lord Zuoqiu return."

"Alright."

Zuo Qiuming and Zhuo Shouqing arrived quickly, their clothes disheveled, their fair skin covered with marks left by red lips and kisses, and their hair in a mess.

This time, Zuo Qiuming changed his hair to purple, and he was even more excited than Wang Yu, who had mastered the secret spell.

“Brother Wang, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. It was worth all the effort I put into getting you this secret spell. From now on, you’ll follow me, Brother Ming.”

"Hey hey hey—"

"What are you doing? What are you doing! Wang Yu is my subordinate. What do you mean by that?"

Zhuo Shouqing grabbed Zuo Qiuming and mercilessly punched his handsome face, as if it had been planned in advance, slamming two heavy punches down on him.

Zuo Qiuming couldn't take it anymore.

"Zhuo Shouqing! You're just jealous of my face. What's wrong with your men? If it weren't for me, you would have given up on Brother Wang by now."

"Look, the person is back, full of life essence, and will live for at least 150 years longer. And now you're jumping out to try and take it from me. What are you trying to do? Are you bullying me?"

Watching the two playfully bickering, Wang Yu felt a pang of envy. He also had brothers, blood relatives at that, but unfortunately, they were already gone.

I'm wholeheartedly helping him reach a higher level.

It's not bad at all.

"Alright, alright, Wang Yu is still here. Let's not make a fool of ourselves." Yu Xing couldn't help but speak up, interrupting the argument between the two. He was considered the most rational of the three young masters of Ni Ling and was rarely swayed by emotions.

More often than not, she acts as a unifying force among the three, and is also a key bond that keeps their friendship intact.

"snort."

"snort!"

"Didn't you notice the change in Wang Yu's attire? Don't you want to hear about what's happened to him lately?"

This statement proved effective. After the three were seated, Wang Yu slowly began his narration, attributing the deaths of Old Man Ning and the others entirely to the Sword Sect's Xingxing.

He mainly emphasized his experiences in the withered leaf swamp in the latter half of the story, while only briefly mentioning the actions of the Hehuan Sect in the Black Mountain Demon Land and the matter of the [Lust] Demon.

For example, he said: "We discovered that Old Man Ning was secretly capturing young girls and selling them somewhere. They were killed by the Sword Sect because of this incident."

He was also dragged into it, but he didn't dare to investigate, which led to the events at the Dead Leaf Swamp.

In any case, apart from Changxi, the rest are all dead people, so he can fabricate whatever he wants as long as the logic is sound.

The others didn't react much after hearing this, except for Yu Xing, who looked thoughtful.

"Tell me about the Sword Sect's pilgrimage, how strong is it? How beautiful is it?!" These were the words spoken by Zuo Qiuming.

"You killed a Sword Sect disciple in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage??" These were the words spoken by Zhuo Shouqing, and the two were focusing on completely different things.

Wang Yu sighed.

"Lord Zhuo, I was just lucky. During his search for me, he accidentally got into a fight with a late-stage second-tier alligator dragon."

"There was also a Tier 2 early stage alligator dragon assisting in the battle. I was just lucky to get a lucky break."

"As for Lord Zuoqiu's question, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuo Shouqing said.

"Why answer such an inappropriate question? Don't call me 'sir' anymore. You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so just call us 'elder brother' instead."

Wang Yu immediately seized the opportunity and echoed.

"Brother Zhuo, Brother Ming, Brother Yu."

"Sigh~"

Zuo Qiuming couldn't stop smiling.

"From now on, you'll be the fourth brother. If you need anything, your older brother will help you."

Yu Xing frowned, wanting to refuse but not wanting to offend his brother, so he remained silent. He had neither a good nor a bad impression of Wang Yu.

He, however, disliked those who fawned over him; it made him feel his own status was ironic, especially since the three of them were the infamous "Three Young Masters of the Rebellious Spirits." (The Useless Young Master)

"By the way, I haven't asked you where you got this uniform. Are you planning to become a law enforcement officer?"

"Yes, it's in Evil God's Abode."

"Alright, alright, from now on you'll live in the hall. Old Yu will have Wang Si take charge of the hall from now on, hehe."

Zuo Qiuming winked at his two brothers, his intentions obvious even to a dog: he was using Wang Yu as free labor to free the three of them from their boring lives.

Wang Yu didn't care about this idea; in fact, he was happy with it. He needed time to cultivate, so being in charge was the perfect job for him. He could also occasionally lead a team to enforce the law and earn some extra money.

"Let's arrange it like this for now."

Yu Xing brought the conversation to a close. He noticed that Wang Yu seemed to have something to say, so he took his two brothers outside, presumably to discuss it privately.
