Chapter 361 Blood Pool Baptism

Regarding the placement options, Wang Yu temporarily left sections 5, 6, and 7 empty, as both Human Elixir Technique and Blood Elixir Technique are third-tier alchemy inheritances.

It will take forty years to complete the process.

However, by manually filtering them and controlling the content to a second-tier level, it would only take three years.

Wang Yu values ​​these lineages quite a bit.

After all, they are indispensable if we want to make perfect use of the five Heavenly Demons, so we can only take it one step at a time.

In a maximum of ten years, it can be improved to a usable level.

and.

Even if it's only at the first or second tier level, he can still make use of it. Wang Yu has an endless number of golden cores, dozens or even nearly a hundred.

These are all excellent main ingredients; perhaps the solution to enhance magical power will still rely on the art of human alchemy.

The days that followed.

Wang Yu also put the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique on the shelf, putting aside his combat abilities for now and focusing on improving his skills and techniques first.

More than half a month later.

The Cold Blood Peak Elders' Meeting commenced as scheduled!

The purpose was naturally for the blood pool baptism. According to custom, the baptism took place near the nine thousand-foot blood pool behind the Blood Demon Palace, where a portion of the essence of blood was drawn in.

With the help of the blood beast crystal cores hunted by the cultivators, blood pools of various sizes are formed. The extent of the benefits depends entirely on how many crystal cores the cultivators can obtain.

The meeting was actually initiated to discuss the upper limit issue.

After all, this wasn't their first time entering the Blood Abyss Holy Land, and the members of these families, factions, and master-disciple groups had accumulated a considerable number of Blood Beast Crystal Cores.

There are those who have experience from the previous session, the session before that, and the session before that...

The accumulated crystal cores over time amount to an astronomical number, making it crucial to discuss the upper limit of the Blood Pool baptism; it's impossible to say that the power of the nine-thousand-foot Blood Pool can be completely drained.

Those are the treasures of the sect's patriarchs; it's already quite good to be able to get even a tiny bit of them.

Cold Blood Peak, Elder Hall.

Sitting in the highest hall of power on this peak, Wang Yu saw the Grand Elder and others again. This time, the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain and the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord also came.

The latter's appearance was somewhat beyond Wang Yu's expectations.

This was a person so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and he was over two meters tall. When he walked in, he looked like a demon who had crawled out of the underworld.

The exposed parts of his body were covered with blue magic patterns.

Her eyes were like ice crystals, with pupils as white as dots. An unintentional glance could send chills down one's spine, making her quite unsettling.

As soon as the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord entered, his gaze naturally fell on him. When he walked to Wang Yu's side, he deliberately stopped.

His voice was hoarse, as if carrying endless chill.

What he said, however, was quite intriguing.

"Seventh Elder, you are very good."

"I think we could increase the quantity of pills we cooperate with the Ji family on. Otherwise, how can we distinguish the hierarchy among the four Cold Blood Clans? What do you think?"

These words, though sounding like a suggestion, actually carried a hint of something that left no room for refusal.

At this crucial moment of discussion in the Elders' Hall, whether Wang Yu responds to persuasion or coercion, or whether he refuses to budge, will be a matter of great importance, as it will determine whether he truly deserves the title of Seventh Elder in the future.

Especially with the Lord of Coldblood Mountain also present, we need to be careful how we respond.

This wasn't the first time Wang Yu had experienced the domineering nature of a Nascent Soul cultivator. From the Old Man Xuanyan he encountered in the Thunderfall Pit years ago to the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord he had met now.

They almost always spoke in an unquestionable tone.

They were putting on a very authoritative air.

While pondering.

Wang Yu said quickly.

"Since the Demon Lord has spoken, Wang Yu is naturally willing to deepen his cooperation with the Ji family, but..."

Midway through the conversation, Wang Yu abruptly changed the subject.

"However, I still have a commission from Senior Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon, which I estimate will take more than ten years to process before I can take on more alchemy commissions."

His statement about moving to the back mountain is a common negotiation tactic he uses.

Even if you're dissatisfied, you can't say anything. You can't expect a powerful cultivator to roll behind you in line, can you? The order of arrival still needs to be respected.

Seeing that the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord had been thwarted, the Cold Blood Mountain Lord felt much better. Since Wang Yu was not joining either side, he was even less in a hurry.

"Tian Shuang, let's start the meeting first. We can discuss these private matters privately."

"snort--"

The conference table was rectangular, with two Nascent Soul cultivators sitting on one side and twelve elders, including Wang Yu, sitting on either side. He mingled among the Zuoqiu clan elders, ignoring the gazes of others.

The Grand Elder took the initiative to speak.

"The Blood Pool Baptism is scheduled for seven days from now by the Blood Demon Palace. According to the ranking of the Nine Peaks, the upper limit set by Cold Blood Peak can only be below Blood Nether and Heavenly Corpse Peaks."

"The Blood Underworld has agreed to give each person 10,000 Blood Beast Crystal Cores, with varying grades."

"The Heavenly Corpse Peak has set a limit of nine thousand blood beast crystal cores per person."

"Following this pattern, by the time we reach Evil God Peak, there will only be a maximum quota of two thousand. Should we raise it, or lower it again?"

This meeting didn't seem necessary.

However, ranking third within Cold Blood Peak has a significant impact on the mountains behind it; the higher the ranking, the greater the benefits one can obtain later.

If the initial price is set too low, the impact will become more severe over time.

This is also a game of exchanging and maneuvering for interests.

And so it was.

Wang Yu then saw the eleven elders each performing their duties, and they began to use the sound transmission jade talisman to contact the fourth-ranked Evil Sword Peak, thus beginning a war of words.

To increase the limit of 100 crystal cores, he had to squeeze some benefits out of Xiejian Peak, which perfectly matched his stereotype of the Demonic Sect.

He was new to the area and didn't know many people from other parts of the mountain.

Those in high positions are even fewer.

He sat there for an hour, waiting for the other elders to finish their discussion. Then he fiddled with the communication jade talisman and started arguing with Gu Dufeng, who was ranked fifth in the sect.

Judging from this, they're going to extort money from all the hilltops behind them.

but.

In this kind of influence, the previous one always has the most power, and the further back in time, the less resources and benefits Han Xuefeng can exploit.

There are so many mountains in between.

There will definitely be dissatisfied people who want to shift the losses onto the next one. The elders of each peak are not stupid, so they can get the most benefits from Evil Sword Peak!

In the end, they were the unluckiest and suffered the most severe losses.

It's still Evil God Peak.

No wonder it gets weaker and weaker as it develops. This is just one of the ways of exploitation that Wang Yu has witnessed. There are many more that he has never seen before.

This year, Xie Xie'an has offended everyone again.

It would probably cost them a fortune to maintain the quality of the Blood Pool Baptism. Of course... Evil God Peak could also choose to fight to the death, it just depends on whether they can control the degree of loss.

While the others were busy arguing, Wang Yu leaned back in his high chair, bored. Occasionally, an elder from the Zuoqiu clan would say a few words to him and ask for his opinion.

What can Wang Yu do?

Yes, yes, yes! That's it.

It took a full day and night to discuss the "offerings" to each peak, and only then did the Grand Elder speak to the Mountain Lord and the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord.

"Our peak will be capped at 8,999."

What do you two think?

"Can."

It was clearly something given by Xiejian Peak, and it's worth the price.

The meeting has ended.

Wang Yu said goodbye to everyone and then left. This kind of meeting was a waste of his time; he had seen it once and that was enough.

Before we knew it, the day of the blood pool baptism arrived as scheduled.

Behind the Blood Demon Palace.

The nine-thousand-foot-deep pool of blood fell from the sky, forming a pure blood lake on the ground. This was the first time he had observed the [Nine Palaces Demon Star Flying Formation] so closely.

It draws upon the power of the demonic stars descending from the celestial constellations.

These form meteor-like spheres, about the size of an egg, but the pure demonic energy they contain is astonishing. This is an indispensable cultivation resource for the Nascent Soul stage of the demonic path.

Besides the initial formation of the Nascent Soul, the Demonic Nascent Soul requires the source of demonic energy corresponding to the cultivation technique to combine with magical power, giving birth to a more advanced and higher-quality [Demonic Essence]!

There are no requirements regarding the type of demonic energy needed to strengthen demonic power.

Demonic energy is an assimilation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth caused by the power of ancient demons, since the ancient demons' seals are scattered throughout this world.

Therefore, there is actually a thin layer of demonic energy in the air, but it is too thin to satisfy the daily cultivation needs of a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, most of them set up the [Heaven and Earth Demonic Essence Formation] in their cave dwellings!

These are the star cores formed by the condensation of the power of these demonic stars.

It is considered one of the universal resources in the Nascent Soul stage of the Demonic Path, and its value is comparable to that of top-grade spirit stones.

The catalyst used for the Blood Pool Baptism is actually the consumption of the Star Core to activate the hidden blood power within the Blood Beast Crystal Core, ultimately creating a baptismal opportunity.

Only Core Formation cultivators can withstand it; those weaker than them risk demonic transformation and loss of mind.

When all the people of Jiufeng arrived.

The total number of people was just over three hundred. Xie Xie'an, Zhuo Shouyun, Ding Ming, Yan Ling, Wei Hao and others all came and gathered in a grand procession below the waterfall.

Those who became acquainted naturally formed a small circle to communicate.

Wang Yu and Zhuo Shouyun exchanged a glance from afar.

There was no tension whatsoever; the other party even nodded and smiled at him in a friendly manner, which left Wang Yu somewhat puzzled.

Fu Xiao helped Zhuo Shouyun so much, would he not help Fu Xiao cause him trouble? It's impossible.

So, his identity as the Seventh Elder has already come into play?

After much thought...

Unfortunately, there was too little information to deduce anything conclusive.

but.

After the blood pool baptism, Zhuo Shouyun will definitely have to return to the Zhuo clan of Guifang. Zhuo Shouqing and Zhuo Yuanshen are plotting something, and he will definitely have to go back to truly settle this matter.

According to the oral instructions of Zhuo Liezu.

One of them must die for the game to end; there's no way to avoid that.

I looked away.

More than 300 people stood for almost half an hour before someone came down from the Blood Demon Palace. He was wearing a full suit of gold and red armor, which even covered his head.

A blood-red cloak billowed behind him.

He exuded a terrifying aura befitting a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, causing the expressions of those present to change, with the vast majority immediately kneeling down.

He made a huge blunder, but luckily he managed to release and withdraw his pressure.

It lasted only a brief moment, but the effect was remarkable. Everyone fell silent and looked at this domineering figure.

"I am the Grand Commander of the Blood God Guard."

"Now...you shall stand in the order of the nine peaks, and do not stand with people from other peaks."

The deterrent effect was significant, and more than 300 people became obedient.

The Blood God Guard is an elite force under the Blood Demon Palace, or rather, an army controlled by the sect leader, and the strongest force in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.

It played a crucial role in the battle between good and evil on numerous occasions.

The exact number of people is unknown.

But rumors say that he can easily slaughter one of the Nine Peaks, and is an important bargaining chip for the sect leader to maintain his rule, as well as the sharpest sword in his hand.

They are usually only deployed for major victories or when life and death are at stake. They spend most of their time cultivating in the secret realm inside the Blood Demon Palace and rarely go out.

This information is not important right now.

As everyone lined up, the Blood God Guard Commander waved his hand, and empty pools appeared in the sky and on the ground, divided into nine directions.

The pools on each peak are separate, ranging from large to small.

An empty pool appeared in front of Wang Yu, which was used for his baptism.

"Now, put all the blood beast cores you prepared in."

He has accumulated tens of thousands of crystal cores in the Blood Abyss.

With a limit set, we can only try to use higher-level items, such as... the crystal core of a fourth-tier Blood Scorpion King, and a large number of peak third-tier crystal cores.

Eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine crystals—even Wang Yu could only fill a portion of them; the remaining gaps could only be filled with ordinary third-order crystal cores.

Even so, he wasn't the most outrageous.

Almost everyone in the Blood Pavilion of Blood Nether Peak possessed a fourth-tier Blood Beast Crystal Core, with the leader even producing three, drawing everyone's attention.

"You rich bastard!"

He cursed inwardly, certain that all of this was provided by their families. Having a powerful background really does allow one to do whatever they want. Fortunately, his own background wasn't bad either.

Once everyone had finished investing their blood beast crystal cores.

The Blood God Guard Commander drew a demonic star core from the Blood Lake, and streams of energy, like ribbons of starlight, flowed into the various pools.

The power of the bloodline increased rapidly, filling the pool in the blink of an eye.

"--Enter!"

The moment Wang Yu jumped into the blood pool, he felt an extremely domineering power surging into his body, and the Ice Soul Saint Demon Scripture and the Yin Nether Demon Dragon Technique spontaneously and frantically began to operate.

The power contained in the blood pool baptism continuously washed over his body, increasing the strength of his flesh, bones, and meridians.

Even more mysterious is that life force.

It can repair the hidden injuries in a cultivator's body, nourish life essence, and make up for the abnormally consumed lifespan. This reminded Wang Yu of the mysteries of the Blood Pill Technique.

It is also a use of bloodline power.

The Blood Pool Baptism is clearly more advanced, penetrating every tiny part of the body to help the baptist correct any deficiencies.

It even enhanced the potential of the physical body, forcibly elevating Wang Yu's already peak third-tier physique to another level. This was a foundational improvement.

This is definitely a rare and wonderful opportunity!

It may not be as powerful as the baptism of a dragon vein, but the difference isn't too great.

besides.

He also benefited greatly in terms of magical power, and his cultivation level improved rapidly. Every second, strands of magical power were generated, enhancing his cultivation.

They were so engrossed in it that they completely forgot about the passage of time.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Upon awakening from the baptism of the blood pool, Wang Yu immediately sensed that his magical power had increased by nearly eight hundred units, equivalent to decades of arduous cultivation.

The upper limit of physical strength has increased by 30%.

This means that he can continue to improve, and he won't be unable to improve his physique without breaking through to the fourth level of body refinement.

This is a good thing.

The strength of the meridians, the enhancement of vitality... these minor details seem rather insignificant.

"Truly deserving of the name 'Opportunity'!"

After leaving the blood pool.

Wang Yu discovered that most people had regained their senses and left, but the Blood Pavilion guys were still undergoing the baptism, clearly indicating that the blood pool's energy had not yet been exhausted.

Without lingering, they went straight back to their cave.

He still has a lot to do.

I'm typing this now, please be patient.

Have some breakfast and then write the second chapter.
