Chapter 283 Selecting the Cave Abode: The Twelve Phases of Guanghan (Bonus Chapter!!!)

Cold Blood Peak.

After strolling around Zhudianfang, Wang Yu returned. As for his temporary residences in Hanxuefang and Tianshifang, those places were all public spaces.

Because outer disciples often die mysteriously, there are many such temporary cave dwellings. It is generally assumed that once a person leaves, the cave dwelling will return to an unclaimed state.

Back when he met Situ Hong in the public cave of the Heavenly Corpse Workshop, the cup of corpse water that had been sitting there for who knows how long left left a deep impression on this male concubine.

This kind of place certainly cannot be called "home"!

It is not a place to live permanently.

This time when he came back, he didn't go to the Blood Reversal Workshop. Instead, he planned to settle down on Cold Blood Peak.

Given the deep impression Su Yulong's residence had left on him during his first trip up the mountain, Wang Yu took the initiative to fly in that direction.

This guy has already been stripped of his status as a true disciple, and his mansion has definitely been confiscated. He might get a ready-made house instead of having to build it himself.

In a way, Su Yulong had done him a favor.

Judging from the ecology of the low-level spirit slaves in the Stone House District, if Su Yulong hadn't rescued him, he would have died inside within three years.

Furthermore, the incomplete [Corpse Demon Secret Technique] was a great help to him. Half of the difficulties and obstacles he encountered in the early stages were resolved thanks to the zombie body brought about by this secret technique.

The other half is the "Divine Corpse Arm," which was also a meritorious contributor and is still lying in his collection, untouched.

There was no conflict between him and Su Zhenchuan. At most, it was that time he offered a plan, but Su Zhenchuan didn't listen to him and insisted on using Wei Chonglai's brute-force approach.

Then I felt better.

If you leave someone with nothing to lose, they'll just explode at you, and we'll all be finished.

This also plunged him into a state of fear and anxiety.

Fortunately, Yan Ling stepped forward and attracted everyone's attention, which allowed him to join the Third Young Master of the Reverse Spirit and go to Gui Ling to cultivate.

Otherwise, if they continue to stay in the sect, something bad will happen sooner or later, and the accumulation of Foundation Establishment stage experience will not be completed so quickly.

Standing in a familiar place, one's mind is filled with memories of the past. Before long, one arrives at the former residence of the True Path of the Su Dynasty.

--arrive!

Wang Yu looked up and his face darkened.

"Zuoqiu Mansion..."

Without a doubt, they must be members of Zuoqiu Ming's clan. The Zuoqiu clan has a lot of influence in Hanxue Peak, and the Zhuo clan also has some key members here.

The rest are the true members of the Cold Blood Peak master-disciple faction.

The entire Reverse Spirit Blood Sect can be viewed as a family faction, a master-disciple faction, a grassroots faction, and a blood demon faction.

Don't bother looking at the grassroots faction; they're just there to make up the numbers.

The Blood Demon faction, consisting of the Blood Demon Palace and the lower-level Blood Nether Peak, stands out as the orthodox sect, its position incredibly stable and unshakeable.

Then there are the family factions, led by the master-disciple factions, which are smaller in number, mainly composed of elites, and wield less power, but have enough resources to support their numbers.

Wang Yu was able to obtain the status of [Candidate Elder] without much effort, which must have been due to the combined efforts of Zuoqiu and the Zhuo family, who helped him.

With his goal of entering the first cave dwelling out of the question, he could only fly around Coldblood Peak. The third-tier cave dwellings were all located a few hundred meters above the mountainside.

He didn't want to live in a cave, so he could only find an empty plot of land for a cave dwelling and plan and build it himself. After the cave dwelling matter was settled, he would go and take a look at the Cold Blood Treasure Vault.

"Huh—"

Fly to the rear of Coldblood Peak.

The location was quite close to where Wang Yu had entered the Cold Pool last time. Xueying, the female cultivator he had just met, was standing on a rock, surveying the terrain below.

Wang Yu took the initiative to move closer.

"Fellow Daoist Xueying, are you choosing a suitable place to build your cave dwelling?"

When Xueying saw it was him, she stepped aside and bowed before speaking.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Wang Yu is one as well?"

"Yes, I am not very familiar with the seniors on Cold Blood Peak. How about I live next to you, fellow Daoist?"

He was really curious about Xueying's cultivation level, so he took the initiative to ask her some questions.

To his surprise, the other party merely glanced at him before nodding in agreement: "Very well, Xueying doesn't know much about the seniors of Cold Blood Peak either, as she has been cultivating at home before. What about you, fellow Daoist?"

Wang Yu stared into her eyes as he spoke.

"Wang was sent to a remote area as the lord of a city. He only returned to the sect in recent years after achieving the Core Formation. Fellow Daoist Xueying, you were able to achieve the Core Formation while cultivating at home. Do you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

Xueying nodded.

"I have cultivated to this point entirely through my innate talent and Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root. I plan to build my residence here. Would you like to visit that plot of land, fellow Daoist?"

Wang Yu's fingers trembled.

I'm starting to feel an irresistible urge to plant a demon seed.

This desire stems from the instinct of the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo to complete itself, and his eyes inevitably reveal a hint of fervor.

This seemed to cause her to misunderstand, and she turned away somewhat embarrassed.

Wang Yu: "..."

Never mind, he has both kinds of desires, no matter which one.

With the current aptitude of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Root, it is already sufficient. Even if one were to acquire the Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root, the cultivation speed would remain the same.

Unless all spiritual root aptitudes are raised to the Heavenly Spiritual Root level.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense, since both the Yin and Ice attributes belong to the Water Spiritual Root, and he doesn't actually need the Ice Spiritual Root anymore.

Of course, having something is better than not having it.

He could still benefit from the spell power boost from the Ice Spirit Root.

They didn't say anything more.

A kilometer away, Wang Yu selected a plot of land of 500 square meters, stomped his right foot, and with his skillful coffin-making technique, erected a square black ice box.

It is also embedded in the rocks, resembling an urn.

This left him speechless; professional tasks should be left to professionals.

"Never mind, I'll ask Hanxue Peak for help with the construction later."

As an elder, I do have this right, and it doesn't require spending any spirit stones; the sect will reimburse me.

Taking out the Frostblood Cave Token, Wang Yu tossed it into the air, where it immediately reacted with the fourth-order grand formation of Frostblood Peak, causing a sub-formation to descend from within.

The area planned by Wang Yu covers about thirty acres, which is not too big, but more than enough for him to live in alone. He does not need maids to serve him.

After the plot of land was enclosed, the light shield of the sub-array gradually disappeared.

Wang Yu used his Frost Sword Qi to carve out another cave and several more stone chambers directly into the frozen, hard rock wall.

Thus, the Immaculate Jade Toad and the Three-Tailed Snow Fox were settled.

He then arranged the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Bed, took out the Sub-Token, and had Xueyu refine it, giving instructions.

"This is Cold Blood Peak. Don't wander around. Stay here and cultivate properly. I'll be right back."

"Woo-woo~ Awooo!"

It had been a while since he'd been affectionate with Xueyu. The big fox came up to him, nuzzled against his neck, and deliberately licked it a few times. Then, fearing a scolding, it quickly ran away.

"You rascal."

…………

…………

Wang Yu went out and came back in less than half a day.

His face was very gloomy. He not only went to the Cold Blood Treasure Vault, but also visited the Five Yin Treasure Vault, the Heavenly Corpse Treasure Vault, and the Evil God Treasure Vault.

The items inside were few in number and of mediocre quality, not even as good as the third-tier treasure vault facing the outer gate.

The warehouse manager's explanation for this was...

Wang Yu arrived at the wrong time. The sect's treasury is not replenished all the time; according to the rules, it is replenished once every twenty years.

Before each replenishment, there is a list that circulates among the elders of each peak. If someone takes a fancy to a spiritual item, they can use their three privileges to snatch it.

Whoever is the fastest gets it. If two people select the item at the same time and use their permissions simultaneously, they should negotiate privately. If they cannot reach an agreement, the highest bidder wins.

If you're still not convinced, let's have a fight.

Whoever wins, keeps it—simple and straightforward!

The next replenishment of the treasure vault will be five years from now, and there's no rushing it, so Wang Yu simply returned to organize his cultivation techniques.

Wang Yu was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Six illusory placement slots appeared one by one in front of him, visible only to him.

[Placement Slot 1: Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture (Tier 3)]

"Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture (0/100): Practice twelve times a day, complete in fifty years."

[Placement slot 2: Ice Soul...]

These two fixed cultivation technique slots have been replaced with new techniques, which are currently being steadily advanced, causing Wang Yu's main body's cultivation to temporarily stop.

Because he doesn't know this technique yet.

However, the feedback from the placement bar, with magic power and cultivation experience transmitted simultaneously, can greatly shorten the time it takes for him to get started and will not delay his cultivation.

Camera position number three, fixed on the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique.

This thing is only twenty years away from giving him a perfect third-tier alchemy skill, which is beneficial to his cultivation, so it must be released.

Camera position four, Little Asura's Killing Fist.

This supernatural power is only twenty years away from reaching perfection, so there's no need to change it.

[Placement slot 5: Demonic Embryo Mystic Origin Secret Incantation (Completed/Under development...)]

"Demon Embryo Mystic Origin Secret Incantation (20/100): Practice 144 times a day, and it will take 150 years to complete."

This is the detailed information about this secret incantation. Before facing the talisman owl, every bit of improvement is precious.

The sixth machine contains the [Yellow Spring Great Handprint], which is forty years away from perfection, just in time for the counterattack that Zhuo Shouqing mentioned.

Wang Yu updated the cultivation calendar.

Looking back, he has now climbed to the fifth stage.

He endured the most painful 137 days of his life as a spirit slave, and after 15 years and 12 months of honing his skills as an outer disciple, he was promoted to inner disciple. His career lasted only 5 years and 1 month, and his advancement was extremely rapid.

Then.

His career as a deacon, and also as the lord of Guiling City, lasted a total of 56 years and 3 months.

This is his first day as an elder!

It is quite memorable.

only.

Wang Yu ruthlessly removed the Yellow Springs Great Handprint and replaced it with his innate divine power, which he planned to engrave into his golden core.

【Placement Slot 6: The Twelve Phases of the Moon (Divine Power)】

"The Twelve Phases of the Moon Palace (0/100): Practice forty-eight times a day, and you will achieve perfection in one hundred and fifty years."

(Note: If a supernatural power is not fully developed after advancement, the required waiting time will be extended.)

Simply put

The top-tier third-order divine power, "The Twelve Phases of Guanghan," requires 150 years. If, during this period, the divine power meets the requirements and advances to the fourth order, the time to achieve perfection will be extended.

If one has already reached perfection, further advancement will directly result in the divine power of the fourth-order perfection realm.

It's easy to understand, but if Wang Yu wants to turn it into his innate divine power, he needs to first master the basics of this divine power.

The requirement for entry is to create the spectacular sight of "frost and moon hanging in the sky".

Once achieved.

Then, the illusory images of twelve symbols—the cassia tree, the moon rabbit, the ice axe, the jade plate, the fairy shadow, the palace, and so on—are condensed.

This is considered a minor achievement. Only when the two are integrated and can appear simultaneously can it be considered a major achievement!
