Chapter 297 Qiao Clan Joins the Fourth Level of Core Formation

That area has enormous development potential, and it's precisely the time when it lacks top-notch talent. Sending them there to accompany Qingyang is a good idea.

Once the battle for the monthly states is over.

【Ancient Ruins - Eastern Capital】As a popular exploration destination in Yunling Prefecture, it can provide a large influx of people to nearby cities. To make money from this, one must have sufficient strength.

Otherwise, if every Tom, Dick, and Harry tries to take a bite out of Guiling, there's no point in developing anything; we'll just be dealing with all this messy stuff every day and won't have time for anything else.

Although he, the city lord, is no longer here.

They can still contribute to the development of Guiling. Last time it was a group of frustrated alchemists, and now it is powerful Core Formation cultivators who need resources.

It's fair to say they hit it off immediately.

Yang Xiong and Chu Jun both accepted the arrangement, but whether they would go or not would depend on the circumstances. Wang Yu was only providing a safety net to meet their daily cultivation needs.

If you want more, you'll also need to take risks and do some dangerous missions.

When the term of office for the city magistrate ends and there is no better option, he will naturally go to Guiling to temporarily serve.

Several days later, the two left one after the other.

Wang Yu remained in Golden Sword City, waiting for Qiao Yu to stabilize his injuries, and then began to study the pill formula for breaking through the bottleneck.

This pill, named "Zhilan Pill," can greatly improve the quality of magical power and has a remarkable effect on breaking through the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Core Formation.

In fact, given the quality of his magical power, which is already far superior to that of ordinary people, a breakthrough would naturally follow if he were to hone his skills step by step for several months.

He wanted to hurry, so he needed to use elixirs.

He stayed in Golden Sword City for nine days.

Qiao Yu finally stabilized his injuries. Unlike the other two, although he also had aspirations for the future, he actually knew Wang Yu's name!

Without the interference of the other two, he planned to wait until the city master's term ended before following Wang Yu to hang out on Cold Blood Peak.

This has a slightly different meaning.

He was born into the Qiao family, whose ancestors had once been wealthy, while Wang Yu came from humble beginnings and was already a cultivator, still in the process of striving for success.

Although the candidate elder holds a high position, the appointment is still in the process of being fulfilled.

If other family members find out, they will be ridiculed, especially on Cold Blood Peak. Don't they know the benefits of investing in Wang Yu now?

Know!

But why do the family faction and the master-disciple faction keep clashing, unable to let go of the honor they feel for their family? The struggle for power and profit is one aspect.

On the other hand, they looked down on these cultivators from the bottom of their hearts. In their minds, Cold Blood Peak was established by their family's ancestors.

What right do you peasants have to surpass them? Not only do you possess their ancestors' sacred treasures, but you also want to rule and govern them? How arrogant!

That point.

Wang Yu's past experiences had already hinted at this.

For example, Luo Chen is completely out of his mind. He deliberately tries to disgust him for no reason. He considers himself a member of the Zhuo family and thinks that it is quite shameful for Zhuo Shouqing to recruit him and work hard for him.

If the Third Young Master of the Rebellious Spirit hadn't been crippled, he would never have had any connection with him; he was a high-ranking and powerful figure.

Qiao Yu is even more ruthless; he wants to serve Wang Yu!

To put it bluntly, they acted like dogs, yet their strength in the major battle ten days ago was already remarkable.

Given the current weakness of the Qiao family, it might be difficult to handle the situation if the Qiao family's top genius is involved.

After a moment's thought, Wang Yu shook his head and refused.

"I don't need subordinates..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He said with a sigh, "Actually, I've been paying attention to you. Ever since I heard from Yunling Prefecture that you ordered the massacre of Jin Manlou, I knew you were very bold."

Wang Yu denied it.

"This is false information. Wang has never done such a thing. It's just a rumor. Someone is trying to harm me."

Having accepted Jin Miaoshan's Core Formation artifact, he could not possibly admit to it; after-sales service was something he always paid close attention to.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, then asked, puzzled.

"Through me, you can establish contact with the Qiao family. Although the Qiao family has declined, it still has a lot of top-tier resources. You can use this to reach the Nascent Soul stage more quickly."

Wang Yu countered with a question.

"If I don't accept your allegiance, will you stop contacting me?"

Qiao Yu was taken aback.

"What's the meaning?"

"Literally, let's change our cooperation method. How much do you know about elixirs?"

"I know the basics."

"Very well, then listen to me."

…………

…………

On his journey back to his ancestral home, Wang Yu was contemplating a collaboration with Qiao Yu.

It's still the same old method of refining elixirs on behalf of others.

This would bring him considerable profits and quickly solidify his position at Cold Blood Peak. The Alchemy Hall must have known that he had sold so many high-grade elixirs.

After all, it's an action that undermines its monopoly position.

Before the other party resorts to any means, it is necessary to quickly bind the interest group centered around him, the more participants the better, and the forces belonging to Han Xuefeng must be included.

also.

His refusal to take on subordinates does not mean he doesn't use people. Ultimately, it comes down to trust. With the Qiao family's protection, Wang Yu cannot plant a control technique in his mind.

Staying within the sect and being in Guiling are two different things.

As he extensively refines pills and accepts high-level resources as payment, more eyes will be watching him, and he won't give his trust based on just one or two incidents.

Who knows if he's the other side's mole? Unless he's given a means of control that can kill someone at any time, he doesn't trust anyone.

He feels more at ease when bound by shared interests.

This point can also be explored further by examining Chu Jun's identity, but he needs to take it one step at a time; one cannot become fat in one bite.

Furthermore...

His alchemy efficiency has its limits, so he can't take on too many orders.

Half a month later, Wang Yu successfully returned to the mountain gate.

He was extremely satisfied to have such an opportunity after being away for only a month. After examining Wen Hua's storage ring...

He also discovered the secret: the medicinal herbs, including the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, had almost gathered all the main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill.

Another fourth-tier spiritual medicine, the Heavenly Divine Fruit, is ready. It only needs a few third-tier auxiliary ingredients, which we can gather in time.

This is a huge gain!

Offending a Nascent Soul cultivator for this is like a trivial matter. Having too many debts doesn't bother you, and having too many lice doesn't make you itchy. You're not afraid at all.

Not to mention that the clues pointed to the Yellow Springs Temple. Even if they knew it was him, they wouldn't dare to storm the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect overnight; that would be suicide.

Considering the conflict over Zhuyue Prefecture, it's perfectly normal to encounter people from Huangquan Temple within the territory of the Holy Sect.

Of course, if the Yin-Yang Sect Master has other ways to identify the murderer, then he didn't say anything. Countless robberies and murders occur in Chi Yuan every day, and this is just one of them.

After removing the Earth Demon Mask, Wang Yu appeared on Cold Blood Peak in a cheerful mood, looking as if he had just emerged from seclusion.

Soon, the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon and the Qiao family came to discuss cooperation. After the last batch of spirit pills was traded on Yan Ling's side, they needed to take a break.

Having a profound alchemy skill makes earning spirit stones and high-level resources relatively easy, even without using his trump card.

Once he can refine top-grade third-tier spirit pills, the people in the alchemy hall will probably get restless. With the alchemy skills at that time, they might even be able to try refining low-grade and mid-grade fourth-tier spirit pills.

The meaning will be completely different, but exposing it too early may lead to being caught and exploited. You have to be strong yourself to succeed.

"It's time to break through to the mid-stage of Core Formation."

After entertaining the guests from all three parties, the details of the cooperation were discussed and settled one by one, and the order of priority was determined.

This means...

In the coming years, he will have new high-level resources coming in, and he will also deduct a portion from the losses in alchemy as fire consumption. Before long, all kinds of resources will be fully utilized.

However, it's easy to get in but hard to get out.

You think you can just stop training once you've made enough money? Dream on! Nobody's going to agree to that!

However, having too many alchemy tasks can easily affect his own cultivation, or rather, it has already affected him.

Aside from his daily cultivation, his comprehension of supernatural powers has been greatly affected, and he has no time to refine his body and spirit, so he can only maintain the lowest intensity of cultivation.

He must drastically reduce the time spent on alchemy.

This requires top-grade elixirs to satisfy the partners. Wang Yu estimated that this batch of refining commissions would need to be completed before the actual implementation could begin.

After Jian Dan made an appearance at Cold Blood Peak, Wang Yu began to refine the [Zhilan Pill] in seclusion. Since he did not insist on the highest quality, it only took him half a month.

He then opened the furnace and refined a batch of pills. Because he had not fully grasped the pill formula, he only produced four pills. He focused all his energy on one of them, making sure it was of superior quality.

On this day, Wang Yu officially took it.

Ripples immediately appeared in the Qi Sea within his body. The blue-black golden pill, only 1 centimeter in diameter, was even smaller than the Zhilan Pill he had just consumed.

However, under the effects of the medicine, the quality of the magic power continuously improved, and it was continuously injected into the golden elixir.

At a certain moment.

The golden elixir, having reached its limit, suddenly expanded, surging from 1 centimeter to 3 centimeter, and continued to slowly increase until it reached 4 centimeter before gradually stopping.

In the empty dantian, the golden elixir continued to rotate.

It released an even more concentrated and viscous magical power, exactly three hundred strands, which flowed into and out of the Golden Core, the Glazed Ice Heart Tower, and the Feng Shui Plate.

Fourth level of Core Formation, breakthrough successful!

Despite not having been crafted for very long, the Glazed Ice Heart Tower rapidly improved with each breakthrough in cultivation level, quickly reaching the level of a mid-grade magic weapon.

This is the advantage of having a deep foundation; the materials used to refine this tower are far more than those used by others, so naturally it doesn't need to be nurtured slowly.

However, it still lacks the fusion of its innate divine power to unleash its full potential.

After breaking through the realm.

Wang Yu continued to adjust the placement options, repositioning the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture" in slots 1 and 2, and continuing to provide him with a steady stream of cultivation feedback.

To reach the peak of the fourth level of Core Formation, he still needs to cultivate 1700 strands of magical power, which can be converted into threads.

There are 17,000 strands, and this time it won't be so easy to break through. After stabilizing his realm, Wang Yu continued to refine pills frantically, constantly verifying the experience feedback from the placement panel.

As a result, the speed at which the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique was deduced and advanced became faster and faster, with noticeable progress almost every day.

With the added benefits of the placement bar, the step towards advancement seems to be just around the corner.

Early January of the fourth year of Elder Wang Yu's life.

The Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique was completely perfected, and with multiple accelerations, it only took a little over three years.
