Chapter 16 Reverse Blood Ten Workshops

A high-end residence with gold brick floors and snow-white walls.

The nine peaks are divided into different areas, with outer and inner disciples living together. As for the nine twisted peaks of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, only cultivators at the level of True Disciple or Elder are qualified to open cave dwellings there.

Those who have already reached the Core Formation stage, or those who are preparing to reach the Core Formation stage, are of vastly different statuses.

Steward Duan rode a flying magical artifact shaped like a jade fork, leading Wang Yu to the new cave dwelling and introducing him to the situation at the bottom of the Nine Peaks.

"The official name here is the [Reverse Blood Ten Workshops]. There are nine workshops in the nine peaks, corresponding one to one. The extra workshop is the sect's public building."

"The General Affairs Hall, Mission Hall, Scripture Repository Hall, Dharma Transmission Hall, Scripture Lecture Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Alchemy Hall, Weapon Forging Hall, First-Tier Treasure Vault... and so on, are basically all located here.

"The place you are going to is the [Cold Blood Workshop], which belongs to the [Ice and Snow Pavilion] of Su Zhenchuan. There are disciples who serve the master there, and they are colleagues with each other, so the competition is quite fierce."

"As a mere spirit slave, it's inevitable that you'll be ostracized due to your useless spiritual root aptitude. Master Su won't stand up for you over such a trivial matter. Remember that."

Wang Yu understood, but he disdained the fat man's false pretense. His words, seemingly concerned, were actually a warning to him not to think that helping the true disciple would make him remembered.

The only way to contact Su Zhenchuan is through him; there's no way to avoid it, and he has to deliver the message.

If you offend him, you'll suffer.

Of course, no matter what complaints he had in his heart, Wang Yu always behaved very well on the surface.

Duan Pangzi felt quite pleased with the look of having learned something.

Upon entering the Cold Blood Pavilion area, Wang Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that the spiritual energy concentration here was comparable to that of a mid-grade second-tier spiritual vein.

It is extremely rare to find a spiritual environment on the street that can provide the necessary energy for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although he could break through this barrier by using the placement bar, the spiritual energy supply would eventually be insufficient. Breaking through to a higher realm requires a large amount of external spiritual energy to complete the transformation.

Otherwise, the only option would be to use a large number of spirit stones to meet the demand for spiritual energy.

The feedback from the placement bar represents the cultivation gains after rounds of the Great Circulation, which cannot instantly meet the demand for a large amount of spiritual energy.

Therefore, the placement bar can only help him avoid the spiritual energy requirement for daily cultivation, rather than the complete transformation when breaking through to a higher realm.

Although the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is a demonic force, its environment is by no means inferior.

The Cold Blood Pavilion has ten floors, each representing the territory of one of the ten true disciples, with varying sizes.

The Ice and Snow Tower is one of the tallest spirit towers, with thirty-six floors. It is like a towering tower reaching into the sky and is protected by array formations, making it quite luxurious.

With a steward leading the way, Wang Yu went straight inside.

He seemed to be a celebrity in this Ice and Snow Pavilion. A disciple with a purple-blooded waist tag at the counter on the first floor took the initiative to step forward, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he nodded and bowed.

"Brother Duan, what brings you here?"

Respectful but ingratiating.

Manager Duan looked down on people; his face was almost parallel to the ceiling.

"Are you Zhao...Shang?"

“It’s me. It’s rare that Brother Duan still remembers his little brother.”

"Let's skip the pleasantries. This is Wang Yu, personally selected by Master Su to advance from a Spirit Slave to an outer disciple. Arrange accommodation for him, and he will serve at the Ice and Snow Pavilion from now on."

The words "spirit slave" were enunciated with exceptional clarity and distinctness.

Zhao Shang seemed to be deep in thought. He glanced at Wang Yu's unusual appearance and chuckled.

“Brother Wang, there’s no need to feel inferior. Although the rate of Spirit Slaves advancing in Cold Blood Peak is not high, there are still some fellow disciples from other peaks.”

"Thank you for your comfort, Senior Brother Zhao."

"There's no need for that."

Zhao Shang waved his hand.

"Now that you've joined Su Zhenchuan's ranks, let me first introduce you to the Ice and Snow Pavilion."

But Manager Duan suddenly interrupted.

"You can make arrangements for Wang Yu. I have other matters to attend to with Ling Nu, so I'll be leaving now."

"good---"

After he left, Zhao Shang quickly spat and cursed, "Trash who borrows the tiger's power, what a piece of trash, damn it!"

His completely indifferent attitude towards Wang Yu's presence truly stunned him.

After finishing his tirade, Zhao Shang turned to Wang Yu and got straight to the point.

"I'll be frank with what I have to say. Duan Ping is a relative, relying on his blood ties with Su Zhenchuan's maternal clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the position of head of the spirit slaves."

Wang Yu smiled obsequiously and didn't say a word.

This gesture earned Zhao Shang's silent approval, and he then continued speaking.

"Logically speaking, no matter who brings the newlyweds, they must pay the full amount of betrothal gifts in order to have a room in the Ice and Snow Pavilion."

"Since you were personally selected by Master Su and are a spirit slave, you probably don't have anything good on you. So go and live in the Essence Chamber on the tenth floor."

Wang Yu nodded repeatedly. Then Zhao Shang took out an ice-blue token and tapped it on his waist badge, and then took out a booklet and handed it to him.

"The rules and regulations, as well as the situation of the Reverse Blood Ten Workshop, are all recorded here. You can study them yourself later. I won't keep you company any longer."

"Okay, thank you..."

Before Wang Yu could even ask for it, Zhao Shang had already left, sitting back down behind the counter on the first floor with his eyes closed, looking like he was slacking off.

Wang Yu wasn't annoyed. As he walked towards the stairs, he opened the booklet and began to study it.

The Ice and Snow Building has thirty-six floors. The top floor is Su Zhenchuan's room. He rarely stays here, but he often invites some friends to have a banquet on the top floor to enjoy the view.

Floors two through nine are the main banquet halls, with seating for up to two thousand people, filled with tables, chairs, and benches, as well as several private rooms and quiet rooms for conversation.

Floors 10 to 30 are the [Essence Chambers] prepared for subordinates, equipped with two first-tier formations: the "Spirit Gathering Array" and the "Mind Calming Array".

The former can gather and purify the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it very docile when delivered to cultivators; the latter can calm the mind, nourish the brain, and quickly restore energy.

It allows Qi Refining cultivators to complete more cycles of the Great Heavenly Circuit in the early stages of cultivation, and over time, their cultivation speed will be much faster than that of ordinary people.

To be fair, the benefits here are quite good.

The Ice and Snow Tower has twenty floors, and each floor has thirty [Essence Rooms] with the same effect. It is the core of Su Zhenchuan's power, but not everyone can live there.

The surrounding dozen or so streets were all within the territory, and the residents were outer disciples, while those who could enter the building were almost all inner disciples.

This alone is enough to show how much the other party values ​​Wang Yu.

As for floors thirty-one to thirty-five, these are the [Second-Order Essence Rooms] that Su Zhenchuan painstakingly built. They are inhabited by Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there are relatively few of them on this level, with only two rooms on each floor.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have already moved beyond the bottom ranks and are considered the backbone of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, which is slightly lower in the hierarchy. They also own multiple assets, including private residences in the Ten Reverse Blood Workshops, and are qualified to serve as sect stewards.

The Ice and Snow Building is roughly laid out like this, but there is another rule that is closely related to contribution points.

That is, those inside the building are qualified to issue missions on behalf of the Mission Hall.

However, 50% of the reward will be taken as a handling fee for accepting the task.
