Chapter 211: The Sixth Divine Sense Machine, at the Third Stage of Perfected Cultivation!

The Earth Demon Valley is not close to Guiling City, and it is only a second-rate force, a level stronger than forces like the Ink Painting Sect, which only have one or two Core Formation cultivators.

Five to ten Core Formation cultivators are attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If successful, they will be able to join the ranks of first-class forces, similar to the [Yin Gui Palace], which possesses one or two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even in front of the five major demonic sects, they would receive a certain degree of courtesy.

There are indeed good things in the Earth Puppet Demon's Qiankun Ring.

"A third-tier earth-attribute cultivation technique, the Earth Spirit Subduing Vein Technique, accompanied by fourteen kinds of spells, three kinds of secret techniques, three methods for refining magic treasures, and five kinds of pill formulas..."

"And—the [Earthly Grudge Puppet Master Scripture]!"

The latter, in particular, caught Wang Yu's eye. The traditions of puppeteers are often mixed with the art of weapon crafting, and there are few scriptures or classics that purely teach the way of puppeteers.

This record of puppetry techniques describes in great detail a method for crafting a puppet called the "Earthly Grudge Puppet," which is even rarer than the Taiyin Fiend Corpse.

After Wang Yu examined it, he showed a regretful expression.

No wonder the Earth Puppet Demon couldn't refine it. Putting aside all the rare natural treasures, the most basic requirement is a living corpse of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Simply put

That's the Nascent Soul leaving the body state, the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator! With that kind of difficulty, which Core Formation cultivator could possibly achieve it?!

This puppeteer's inheritance must have been obtained by chance. The "Earth Spirit Subduing Vein Technique" on it is the inheritance of the Earth Demon Valley. As a Core Formation cultivator, he is already qualified to hold the sect's inheritance in his hands.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the supernatural powers.

In terms of wealth, it was split equally with Master Qingyang, and the total value was around 120,000 spirit stones, which was not bad.

There are no third-tier magic weapons.

Or rather, the two early-stage Tier 3 puppets were his magic weapons.

After taking inventory, Wang Yu put everything away.

There is a technique called "Earth Spirit Subduing Meridians" which is the core secret of this skill. It has the extremely rare ability to "bind the meridians".

If one's cultivation level is high enough, one can control spiritual veins and earth veins from thousands of miles away to the place where the cultivator wants them to stay. This is an extremely valuable secret technique for sects and forces.

Wang Yu plans to learn it in his spare time, as he might need it someday. There is also the [Purple Dragon Earth Travel Technique] from Purple Dragon Mountain, which is an ability he needs to master in the near future.

Strictly speaking, there's still a lot he needs to perfect.

…………

…………

One month later.

As the matter of the Fragrance Gathering subsided, news began to spread in Yunyan City that Feng Huazi and Yu Hua Daoren had been murdered, and things were developing in the worst possible direction.

The Fragrance Gathering became a hot topic in the area, and Xiao Fu Jun Luo Chen never appeared again, not even bothering to explain.

The lingering effects of the duel in front of the city lord's mansion that night had a profound impact.

That day.

Having just absorbed a round of midday sunlight, Wang Yu trembled all over, feeling a warm sensation in his soul, as if a warm current was flowing into his soul and nourishing him.

"This is--

"The Ancient Soul Technique is complete!"

His spiritual power had long since reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and in recent years, his consumption of top-grade Soul Essence Pills has further solidified this foundation.

Now that his cultivation technique has reached perfection, Wang Yu's soul is nurturing the [Ancient Soul] divine power, which will give him a strong resistance to forces that affect his soul in the future.

His divine sense power developed naturally, and he began to cross a crucial threshold.

Divine consciousness sublimation.

In the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, a gray mist was dispelled, and countless icy blue threads of divine consciousness were swimming within it, growing at an extremely rapid rate.

It took only three days for the divine light shining in Wang Yu's eyes to gradually subside, and these unusual movements did not alert anyone.

He achieved a breakthrough without making a sound!

The gains were quite good, but not as great as the benefits he received when breaking through the fundamental cultivation techniques and body-refining techniques, which made him slightly puzzled.

"With my divine sense reaching the early stage of the third level, the Soul Essence Pill should be able to help me reach the limit of the early stage. Then... I will need a more powerful Divine Refining Technique, the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect."

After he obtained the Heart Sutra last time, he took the initiative to contact Jin Miaoshan, actually wanting to use Jin Manlou to help him find the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect.

As a result, the other party has been in seclusion and has not responded since. I wonder if he is being tormented by the killing intent of the Asura and is about to die.

If one road is blocked, take another.

Right now, Wang Yu is preparing to go to Tianbao Pavilion to entrust the matter to someone else.

His movements suddenly stopped. Although his spiritual realm had broken through to the third level, the gains were not as great as he had imagined. However, he still remembered the time in the Black Mountain Demon Land.

After breaking through to the second level of Body Refinement, he unlocked a new placement slot!

A thought crossed my mind.

Placement slot 6: Empty

"Hahaha~ Just as I thought!"

The five slots are not the limit for the placement bar, but rather a change in the rules for unlocking new slots.

"Break through a major realm to unlock one?"

So... it's Nascent Soul Unit 7? Deity Transformation Unit 8? Wang Yu felt it was a bit slow, but acceptable.

After thinking for a moment, he tossed up the "Frosty Dragon Alchemy Technique".

The Ancient Soul Technique, which he had just perfected, was replaced by the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique. He planned to search for the successor of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect, the one he had obtained in the Withered Leaf Swamp.

There are some clues on the jade slip, and it's located in the Crimson Kite Demon Realm. He might not need the help of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and the Golden Pavilion; he could have the people from the Guiling City Lord's Mansion search for them.

The destination points to the northern part of Yunling Prefecture—the [Heavenly Demon Bone Forest]!

This mountain range is not only vast in area, but also filled with a massive amount of poisonous miasma.

Rumors say that there are Nascent Soul level venomous beasts cultivating in seclusion inside, which is why this vast forest spanning Yunling Prefecture, You Prefecture, and Yeqiong Prefecture has been created.

Wang Yu, who came from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, was more aware of the reasons.

Generally speaking, the Duanjie Mountains (North) and (South) – these continuous mountain ranges that cut through Taihu Lake and Chiyuan – are the main locations for cultivators in this realm to hunt demons.

There are many small areas in the middle, such as "Black Mountain Demon Land" and "Withered Leaf Swamp", which have been named by people. Such places rarely exist within the territory of the hegemonic forces.

Some are ancient sites related to secrecy, such as the Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain, the Wild Ancient Plain, the Silent Desert, and the Wind-blown Gobi Desert, or they are bitter fruits of human creation.

The Heavenly Demon Bone Forest is different. Although I have not asked the Nascent Soul Ancestor in person, according to some records and biographies in the Sutra Recitation Hall, there are poisonous beasts of the Nascent Soul level deep in this place.

This is also why the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect did not choose to completely eliminate it; keeping it alive also has certain advantages!

This place is a treasure trove for Gu cultivators.

If Wang Yu were to search for the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect in the future, he might have to venture deep into the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest.

There's no rush. Let's wait until Lord Guiling has had his fill of this before we talk about it.

Regarding the placement options, Wang Yu reorganized them, creating a more comfortable order.

It has been completely renovated, and with six camera positions, we no longer feel lacking.

[Placement slot 1: Cold Weather Yin Blood Technique (Perfect) ↑]

[Placement slot 2: Cold Weather Yin Blood Technique (Perfect) ↑]

[Placement slot 3: Yinming Demon Dragon Technique (Perfect) ↑]

[Placement Slot 4: Corpse Demon Arcane (Tier 2/Complete)]

[Placement Slot 5: Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique (Tier 2/Complete)]

[Placement slot 6: Ice Wheel Technique]

"Ice Wheel Technique (70/100): Practice forty-eight times a day, complete in three years."

After tidying up.

He used Unit 6 specifically to store various techniques and secret methods, such as the Earth Spirit Subduing Vein Technique, the Purple Dragon Earth Travel Technique, the Wind and Thunder Spirit Patterns, and even the Heart-Severing Blade of Lamentation.

It's time to gradually elevate these to a state of perfection.

As for the Lesser Asura Killing Fist, with the Killing Intent Slab as an aid, it is no slower than a single placement slot; he can simply spend more time studying it on weekdays.

After all, this is a supernatural technique. Without magic power, it is difficult to use it beyond one's level as in the past. When a cultivator breaks through to the Core Formation stage, it is a qualitative change, including the supernatural technique.

Casting spells beyond one's level can easily harm both oneself and others, let alone a supernatural power involving the mind and will. Too much killing intent can easily distort one's personality.

It's best to practice it together with the Heart Sutra. There must be a reason why the Asura Sword Master set up this kind of inheritance.

The Heart Sutra requires a whopping three hundred years, which is really a bit of a stretch.

Wang Yu no longer wanted to think about placing the fence.

The surprise brought by the advancement of his divine sense finally pulled him out of the gloom of the past month.

Since the Fragrance Appreciation Club has run into trouble, his business strategy needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Either try to rebuild, or simply change course.

As Wang Yu surveyed the entire city and pondered, Xu Ruozhou strode over and respectfully greeted him.

"Lord City Lord, the president of the Purple Gold Merchant Guild wishes to see you."

"Let him come over."

"yes."

He sent the Blood Blade Gang and Cloud Dream Pavilion from the North District to cause trouble in Sanmao City, and the remaining Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce was also one of his generals.

On weekdays, he mainly manages the channels in the Yama Ghost Market, cultivating relationships and building networks, and incidentally bringing some prohibited resources to Guiling City.

soon.

The guild leader approached Wang Yu. He appeared to be a middle-aged man with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. He frequently handled spirit stones, making him naturally more powerful.

Wang Yu wouldn't mind a little greed, as long as the tasks he ordered were completed well.

"What is it?"

The person quickly replied.

"The auction at the Yama Ghost Market is about to begin. I've come to ask if you would like to go and take a look, sir."

"An auction at the Yama Ghost Market? What are the rules?"

Wang Yu became interested. The origins of the items in the Ghost Market were a mystery, and ninety percent of the spiritual items could not be seen in the light of day. Only the Yama Ghost Market, which was owned by a pair of Nascent Soul Daoist couple, had been able to survive until now.

But I must say, there are a lot of good stuff in there.

The Void-Transcending Talisman in Wang Yu's hand was purchased from the Ghost Market; its origin is unknown, perhaps from a young master or lady.

The subordinate explained.

"The Ghost Market Auction has four tiers. Any shop owner in the Qi Refining stage can organize it, while those in the Foundation Establishment stage need the Ghost Market's approval."

"Starting from the Core Formation stage, only the Ghost Market can hold such events, mainly in the form of anonymous auctions. This time, the Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce was invited."

"This auction is for Nascent Soul level cultivators, a once-in-three-hundred-years event. Two Nascent Soul cultivators, Yanluo and Yanfu, will personally preside over it."

Hearing this, Wang Yu was already quite interested.

Fourth-tier auctions are indeed quite rare, with a guaranteed minimum of three to five Nascent Soul level spiritual items, and sometimes even more. However, due to their origins, they can be a bit troublesome to handle.

However, it will be a level cheaper than auctions by reputable chambers of commerce like Tianbaoge and Jinmanlou, since buyers need to bear certain risks.

Whether it's broadening one's horizons or purchasing desired treasures.

You can all go and give it a try.

Thinking about this...

"I understand. Go back and make preparations. What's the specific time?"

"After March."

After everyone left, Wang Yu summoned Qingyang Zhenren.

The bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader is over; from now on, it'll all be bonus chapters for monthly votes!
