On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.
The immortal sec...
Chapter 150 Three Bitter Gourds Invest in Cold-Blooded Kid
Outside the hall.
After Wang Yu left on his own initiative, he went to the residential area of the third region, found an empty, deserted palace to settle down, and planned to talk to the three of them again the next day.
Today marks the first day of his butler career, a new career log entry, signifying the start of a new chapter in his life.
Outside.
Yu Xing said in a serious tone.
“We’ve known each other since we were kids, so I’ll be frank. This Wang Yu is clearly an ambitious person; he chose to come to the Evil God’s Enforcement Hall.”
His purpose is self-evident. What he wants most right now is to use our connections to choose a fertile land to establish his government and city. What do you think?
Zuo Qiuming crossed his arms, his demeanor becoming much more serious, and he spoke with confidence when it came to interests.
"Old Yu, do you think I'm too stupid, or do you think Wang Yu is too smart? He has never hidden his purpose, and I have never hidden my opinion of him."
"To put it simply, since he has mastered the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse, it means he has potential. In my opinion, it's not a problem for Wang Yu to reach the peak of Core Formation in the future."
"As for the Nascent Soul stage, that's hard to say; it depends on individual opportunities. My first step has been successful, and you want me to stop now? Don't talk nonsense."
Zhuo Shouqing nodded in agreement, stroked his specially grown beard, and said:
"Old Ming's meaning is my meaning. I have been in contact with Wang Yu for a longer time and have a deeper friendship with him. I have a general understanding of what kind of person he is."
"Interest is the first element to bind him, and emotional favors are also important. With interest plus affection, we are doubly bound, so I am not afraid that he will not be of use to me in the future."
Yu Xing let out a long sigh.
"Have you all forgotten the requirements for casting the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation?"
“Wang Yu’s spiritual root aptitude has improved significantly, and he has also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. How many targets can he catch in just five years?”
Zuoqiu Ming let out a groan.
"So what if I ate my own bloodline brothers who had better talent? If I could do it, I would eat them too!"
When he said this, Zuo Qiuming's expression was extremely cold.
Being a direct descendant of a large family has both advantages and disadvantages. For those with outstanding talent, it is an aid on the road to success; for those with inferior talent, it is a vortex that leads them closer to death.
Although the three of them were direct descendants, their talents were only three spiritual roots, and the worst kind at that, extremely close to four spiritual roots. If it weren't for the resources provided by the family, they would have been able to achieve such talent.
At their age, they're probably still in the late stages of Qi Refining.
Even so, he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage once.
The number of clansmen who coveted their position was countless, and if it weren't for the favoritism of the patriarch, they would have died long ago in the dark ditches.
But the danger won't disappear; it will only become more severe with age.
The three of them were in similar situations, with only Yu Xing doing relatively well, as he had a talented older sister who attracted even more attention.
At this point, Yu Xing's expression also darkened.
"Back then, among that group of inferior disciples, only the three of us failed with the Blood Spring Evil Technique. This technique can only be used once and cannot be repeated. Could it be that we should also cultivate the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation?"
When this matter was mentioned, Zhuo Shouqing's face darkened even more.
Zuo Qiuming and Yu Xing's Blood Spring Evil Technique failed because they could not withstand the impact of the Blood Soul during the forty-nine days of cocoon rebirth.
Ultimately, it's a personal problem. The person lacked a strong will and felt pity for the other consumables that were being consumed, which led to an imperfect integration.
The attempt to forge the innate blood spirit root failed.
And what about him? He was secretly harmed by someone. Among the materials he searched, there was a person whose birth date was one hour different from his. He failed to be reborn and was severely injured.
He almost died, wasting ten years of his prime time for cultivation. Although the real culprit was caught afterward, he was powerless to take revenge, and even his parents told him to stay put.
Recalling the past, all three of them wore bitter expressions.
After a long while, Yu Xing was the first to get back to the main topic.
"It's no use talking about this now. Let's talk about Wang Yu. This man is not only ambitious, but also a ruthless person who is hard to control. Cooperation is possible for a while, but to subdue him? Save your breath."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiuming couldn't help but laugh.
"Old Yu, when did I say I wanted to subdue him?"
"you--"
"I've already made him change his name to Wang Si, isn't my intention obvious?"
"this--"
Zhuo Shouqing interjected, "That's what I mean too. We're in a bad situation and will need a powerful ally in the future. We don't want him to be our slave. It's only right that he saves our lives."
Zuo Qiuming nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely, absolutely. If he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, that would be the best outcome, and we could all rest easy."
"Actually, since arriving at the Evil God's Den, Lao Zhuo and I have been looking for candidates worth training, and it's not just Wang Yu. If you, Lao Yu, have no one to use in the future, you can come and ask your older brother for help, hahaha~"
"You, you all!"
Yu Xing felt a chill run down his spine. When did these two dim-witted rich kids become so shrewd? Was he the only clown? He couldn't help but ask.
"You spend all your time at Qingji Tower, how do you find the time to scout out talented individuals who lack resources?"
Zhuo Shouqing raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't understand. This is all for show. Qingji Tower receives tens of thousands of guests every day and is very discreet."
The saying "the truly wise live in seclusion in the city" perfectly illustrates this point.
In order to develop their power under enemy surveillance, they had no choice but to invest in promising but resource-poor first-generation cultivators.
They broke down into smaller parts and had no interaction with each other on a regular basis.
They would only meet at Qingji Tower when the other party needed something from them.
Of course, their standards are very strict. They not only look at physical appearance, but most importantly, they look at personality and character.
Wang Yu is a cold-blooded but trustworthy collaborator who is difficult to subdue, so give him the power and connections he desires most, and he will definitely help them if they encounter trouble in the future.
After all, they are the eldest, second, and third brothers!
Fourth brother, just tell me whether you'll help or not.
They also deal with geniuses of different personalities in different ways. They try to subdue those who can be subdued, and may even invest in cultivators with other talents.
In places far from the sect, train assassins, cultivate masters who have mastered the four arts of cultivation... and so on.
Only by making the most of our time can we find peace in life.
"well--"
Yu Xing didn't know how many times he had sighed today. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if he were seeing these two old brothers for the first time.
He said dejectedly and disappointedly.
"I understand, I will fully cooperate with you."
Zuo Qiuming suddenly put his arm around Yu Xing and said with a grin.
"Don't mind it. Your sister is truly devoted to you and can keep you safe. If Lao Zhuo and I fail, you won't be aware of it and won't be implicated."
"But things are different now. You've gone this far, and you don't want to participate anymore?"
Zhuo Shouqing gave a sinister smile and pretended to be in the dark.
"Then don't blame us for killing you."
Yu Xing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You forced me to do this, I didn't want to at all."
Hahaha~
The laughter of the three echoed for a very long time in this desolate night.
Who says there's no true love in the world of demonic cultivation?!
…………
…………
The next day.
As dawn broke, Wang Yu, who had slept in late for the first time in a long time, was still a little dazed when he got up. He sat there for a while as if his soul had left his body before finally getting up.
It was just past noon, and even though he had rested all night, his cultivation was still leaping forward. Four months had passed since he established his foundation, and the true essence in his body had increased by 6 drops from the storage and by 1 drop from self-cultivation.
I've collected exactly 10 drops, and the progress is incredibly fast. It won't be long before I accumulate 100 drops.
The messenger was sent to inquire about the three "brothers".
But he found that they were still sleeping, so he had to cultivate on his own to avoid wasting time, and also to think about the various inheritances that were overflowing in his hands.
And so it was night.
The four sat around the fire and began to discuss investment matters. After just one night, Wang Yu found that they had become much more serious and communicated with him in a serious tone.
And the rewards were put on the table.
Zuo Qiuming spoke first: "Fourth brother, let me make things clear first to avoid any misunderstandings."
Wang Yu nodded, with an expression that said, "Go ahead and speak freely."
"We discussed it yesterday and decided to tell you about some things."
"I would be delighted, please."
"The three families behind us all have multiple Nascent Soul ancestors, but the bloodlines are different and the relationships are different, so the internal struggles within a family are very serious."
"The older and more powerful they are, the more direct their conflicts become. What appears to be a conflict between the younger generation is actually a power struggle between Nascent Soul ancestors."
“If you get close to us, our enemies will naturally become hostile towards you, so be prepared.”
Wang Yu was naturally aware of this. Everything comes at a price, and the resources and channels that the three of them could provide would save him countless hours of hard work.
It was just a little targeting, nothing to mention.
After all, sects have rules, and families naturally have rules as well. If I'm not mistaken, this kind of conflict is limited to the younger generation. What is there to fear about such an opponent?
Besides, he's just a nobody, a premature baby born under the "Survival Technique." If the matter gets out, it will only bring shame to the three of them, and won't attract any powerful figures to target him.
"Before that, let's leave aside the matter of the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation and consider it a reward for your contribution to the Alchemist Society."
"What we are about to discuss will greatly benefit your future spiritual practice, and you will need to agree to our conditions."
"Reasonable."
It seems that after thinking it over all night, they've decided to go straight for the ball. Wang Yu likes this way of using resources to his advantage; he is the most trustworthy person in the Holy Sect!
"Firstly, there is a cultivation treasure on Cold Blood Peak called the [Spiritual Spring Cold Pool]. After being cleansed by it, a cultivator's ice attribute talent can be greatly enhanced, and it has the effect of improving spiritual root aptitude."
“This will greatly benefit you even if you cultivate the Profound Yuan Demon Embryo, and it will also enhance your talent for ice-attribute demon beasts. I will give you a spot, which can be redeemed at any time.”
Zhuo Shouqing then continued.
"Secondly, there is a Mysterious Heaven Realm in Fengzhou, which is said to have other inheritances related to the Demon Embryo Curse and also produces a large number of Core Formation spiritual items. When you break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment in the future, I will give you a spot."
It was Yu's turn to wake up.
"Thirdly, and this is what you want most, we will give you a fertile land with great potential, with ownership for three hundred years. Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator intervenes, no one can shake this right."
