Chapter 20 Dizziness is normal

Wang Yu pretended to be relaxed.

"To tell you the truth, Wang was born a spirit slave and his aptitude is only a useless spiritual root. Let alone Foundation Establishment, he will have a hard time even reaching the late stage of Qi Refining in this lifetime."

“What Su Zhenchuan values ​​in me is not my strength, but my brain. Killing me will prove nothing. Let’s shake hands and make peace. Tell me who tricked you into coming here, and we’ll pretend today never happened.”

His words were persuasive, appealing to both emotion and reason.

The other party was clearly persuaded, but remained hesitant.

"really?"

"real---"

Wang Yu walked forward with a smile and said softly.

"If you tell me who is plotting against Wang, we will be friends."

The man let out a long sigh and completely relaxed.

"It's Zhao Shang. He's put up a secret bounty among the outer disciples. He's selling the [Essence Abode] you're staying in for 1,200 contribution points. Whoever can kill you will get it."

A glint flashed in Wang Yu's eyes. He really hadn't expected it to be him. After all, they had no grudges against each other, and the only thing that could have prompted the other party to make this decision was self-interest.

Is 1,200 contribution points all he's worth?

"Thank you. May I ask your name, friend?"

Wang Yu patted the man on the shoulder as a gesture of goodwill.

"My name is..."

"Pfft~"

The ice sword suddenly pierced through the man's neck and emerged from the back of his head. Wang Yu held his head, his palms stained with blood, and whispered.

"Relax, dizziness is normal."

Don't be fooled by how easily this person was persuaded; it's because Wang Yu was indeed promoted from the Spirit Slave class by Su Zhenchuan, and everything he said was true.

Zhao Shang has a high level of cultivation and a powerful background, but his power comes from Su Zhenchuan. When the two sides clash, everyone knows that they should side with Zhenchuan.

Secondly, Wang Yu's strength and decisiveness intimidated this person. Since he was not confident of killing him, shaking hands and making peace was the best way. In addition, his words provoked him, causing him to develop suspicion and resentment towards Zhao Shang.

This result was caused by a variety of reasons.

certainly---

Most importantly, he lacks experience in dealing with the world, and his temperament is not resilient or decisive enough; he has not yet fully become a cunning and qualified demonic cultivator.

According to Wang Yu, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect normally recruits disciples through four channels.

Firstly, they are cultivation families from the Crimson Kite Demon Realm.

Secondly, a "Disciple Recruitment Conference" was held in a place called "Soaring City" tens of thousands of kilometers away, presided over by five Nascent Soul forces and with the participation of a large number of Core Formation Demon Sects.

It is a grand event held once every twenty years. At that time, rogue cultivators and geniuses from all over the Crimson Kite Demon Realm will come to recruit Qi Refining cultivators, as well as Rogue cultivators who have reached Foundation Establishment. There are relatively few Core Formation cultivators.

Thirdly, they abduct qualified disciples from the righteous forces' Taihu Spiritual Domain, or use trade to acquire a large number of promising cultivators to become disciples of the Demonic Sect.

Fourth, the Red Iris Demon Realm has a tradition of raising mortals. Each faction has many cities specifically for raising mortals, and they test their qualifications and select disciples every year.

Ordinary people who are old and have lost their ability to have children have other special uses.

Therefore, every year tens of thousands of new disciples from both regions join the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. Generally, only those who reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining are qualified to accept sect missions.

This fellow disciple who died peacefully was a promising talent traded from the Taihu Spirit Realm; he hadn't experienced enough of the petty squabbles and despicable acts.

After taking the storage bag and putting the body away, Wang Yu cleaned up the bloodstains and walked out from the other end of the alley.

Back at the Ice and Snow Pavilion, Zhao Shang was still leaning against the counter on the first floor, showing no reaction when he saw him.

Wang Yu walked up the stairs as if nothing had happened. At this moment, Zhao Shang twitched his sinuses, squinted his eyes, and spoke.

"Junior Brother Wang is injured?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you with your concern, Senior Brother Zhao. It's just a minor injury and nothing to worry about."

Zhao Shang stood up and gestured for him to sit down.

"Whether it's injured or not isn't important. A corpse that has cultivated the Cold Blood Peak's inheritance is a valuable item. Junior Brother Wang, why don't you consider selling it? The Ice Snow Pavilion's business is quite large."

Wang Yu remained silent for a moment.

“Senior Brother Zhao has keen eyes. I happened to find two corpses while shopping today. I was going to hand them over to the Enforcement Hall, but since the building needs them, I’ll leave them to you, Senior Brother.”

With a gentle tap on the storage bag, two skinned, bloody, and unrecognizable corpses were placed on the table.

Zhao Shang's eye twitched slightly as he looked at him with some surprise.

"Junior brother, the corpse you picked up is rather...unique."

"well enough."

Wang Yu smiled shyly.

What is the price of the building?

"After a brief inspection," Zhao Shang said.

"Both of these corpses cultivated the Ice Marrow Scripture, from which two portions of low-grade Ice Marrow can be extracted. How about a total of one hundred spirit stones?"

"Can."

No matter how much the other party asks, Wang Yu will agree. These are just some material possessions; as long as they can keep him in check, he'll eventually have to pay them back. There's no rush to collect the debt.

The deal was done, and they were preparing to leave.

Zhao Shang called him back again, reminding him, "Junior Brother, don't you have anything else to sell?"

Wang Yu paused, took a deep breath, and poured out all the resources from his two storage bags except for spirit stones and spirit sand in front of Zhao Shang.

Flying artifact - Black Silk x2.

One quasi-ritual implement, a sharp sword, and two sets of standard quasi-ritual robes.

3 low-grade Bigu Pills, 1 low-grade Rejuvenation Pill, 1 mid-grade Ghost Shadow Step Talisman, 1 Strange Insect - Bewildering Butterfly, and some miscellaneous items.

After rummaging through the items for a while, Zhao Shang, with a hint of disdain, put the mid-grade talisman and the small bottle containing the butterfly into his pouch, and pointed to the remaining items.

"Fifty spirit stones, I'll take them all."

"good."

Wang Yu was dissatisfied but powerless. That son of a bitch was relentlessly exploiting him! He wondered how Su Qingshan would handle this situation.

After being emptied of his money, Wang Yu took 150 spirit stones and went upstairs to room number 29 on the tenth floor.

Unless specifically mentioned, the items traded by Qi Refining cultivators are all Tier 1 spiritual items.

The two new storage bags contained a lot of spirit sand, which was worth about eighty spirit stones. Although most of it had been taken away, it was still equivalent to the income from one mission.

A total of 230 low-grade spirit stones, that's quite a windfall!

Murder and robbery brought in money like rain, which truly shocked Wang Yu's pure heart. No wonder demonic cultivators are all skilled in combat.

When it comes to production and technology, nothing beats seizing the opportunity!

After that day, Wang Yu stayed indoors for four days without leaving the house.

[Placement Item 2: Herbal Collection - Qi Cultivation Chapter (Completed)]

"Compendium of Materia Medica (100/100): It can be completed in one month by working through the twelve two-hour periods of the day."

"One month..."

Having experience with storing purely knowledge-based classics, Wang Yu roughly knew the pattern: after the first successful storage, one was in the stage of rote memorization; if stored for another month, one could fully understand and use them with ease.

However, after the encounter in the dark alley, he had an urgent thirst for combat power. In addition, the methods of the demonic path were unpredictable, so he decisively switched to the Night Concealment Spell.
