Chapter 409 The Ice Bone Cauldron and the Blood Cauldron

Fifteen.

This is a bit less than the twenty required earlier, but fourth-tier demon corpses aren't exactly common; they've already dug up ancestral graves, so it's normal that we can't gather enough.

What Peng Qing and Chief Hei said in private is not important. It was nothing more than compensation in other ways. They still needed Wang Yu's help and did not want to offend Jin Manlou.

Peng Qing's attitude as an envoy speaks volumes, and the elixir that the Five-Colored Holy Lord requested to be refined was not for cultivation or for breaking through bottlenecks.

It was a elixir primarily used to repair injuries to the soul. Wang Yu suspected it was prepared for the Azure Dragon Ancestor, but without evidence or clues, such speculation could not be taken as a basis.

After reviewing it.

Wang Yu put the storage bag into his pocket with satisfaction and said in a deep voice.

"Let's leave the matter of the Demon Cat Clan behind. I have a second matter I'd like to ask Brother Pengqing for help with."

As a demon in human form, Peng Qing has no difference in appearance from humans except for the golden-blue feathers on his temples. Some of his subtle expressions are even more lifelike.

The repeated incidents had made him somewhat irritable, but he still patiently said, "Master Wang, please speak. It is my duty and I cannot shirk it."

"I would like to see King Tianpeng, is that possible?"

"This... wait a moment."

Peng Qing thought for a moment, took out a golden feather, closed his eyes and communicated for a while before speaking again: "King Peng has agreed and will arrive within three days. Is there anything else?"

"That's all, please make yourself at home."

"That's good. Please also deliver the elixirs that the Holy Lord needs in another six months on time."

"That's natural."

Wang Yu nodded, showing no intention of defaulting on his debt.

The tripartite meeting concluded here. The next step is to make a deal with Tianpeng King and find a way to get this powerful Nascent Soul cultivator to help him deal with the Nine Evil Sword Lord.

Yes, Wang Yu felt that just one Kim Hee-won-gun was not enough.

When assessing the enemy's strength, one should not underestimate or conservatively estimate it, but rather plan for the greater potential to ensure success.

Although the cultivation world is also a society based on human relationships.

However, it is different from the Red Dust Dynasty. The existence of strong people means that problems can often be solved by being straightforward, and there are few characters with almost supernatural wisdom.

They often set up schemes around interests and secrets.

The former still has clues to follow, but the latter is entirely due to information asymmetry. No matter how smart you are, if you don't know, you simply don't know, and there's no way to counter it.

Just like the secrets of the Ice Prison Realm, before you know them, you can only guess and speculate through clues, which can easily lead you astray from the truth.

For example, Wang Yu already knew that the secret of the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Incantation was handed over to the sect by the Nine Evil Sword Lord. The problem is that it has been hundreds of years and there are quite a few people cultivating it.

The two had never even met. His imagined enemy had always been Fu Xiao, not the Nine Evil Sword Lord.

It appeared out of nowhere, catching me completely off guard.

This is the information gap.

As for why the other party wanted to capture him, Wang Yu vaguely felt that it was related to the innate demonic fetus, but the placement column was an absolute secret, and no one could detect it.

It's impossible for the other party to know in advance that he could create an innate demonic body; the most likely assumption is that it will be an acquired demonic body.

That makes more sense.

Therefore, the Nine Evil Sword Lord's purpose in capturing him was his acquired demonic fetus body. After much thought, could it be that he also wanted to return to his innate state after his acquired state? He will soon find out the truth.

Thinking of this.

Wang Yu looked at Jin Miaoshan, then bowed to Jin Xiyuanjun.

"I wonder what level your cultivation has reached, senior? Are you confident you can defeat a newly promoted Nascent Soul Stage 7 cultivator in a one-on-one fight?"

After the meeting, Peng Qing and Chief Hei left.

With only the three of them remaining in the council hall, and protected by both soundproof barriers and the complete suppression of their six senses, they had no need to worry about being overheard.

The meticulous Kim Hee-won glanced at Kim Myo-sun.

He answered his questions truthfully.

"I have cultivated to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage and mastered the Golden Light Dharma Intent. My speed is the fastest among those of the same level, but I am not good at direct attacks."

Wang Yu remained expressionless, understanding what she meant.

They can fight, but they can't kill.

If early and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can be assassinated with a little effort and cunning, then late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would require the intervention of a Venerable.

Otherwise, there would be very few times in this world that could threaten their lives.

To seal the teleportation technique of a great cultivator, his current level of Heavenly Lock is not enough; this secret technique has been kept for about twenty years.

The Heavenly Lock, formed by the accumulation and condensation of spatial power, is about eight hundred meters long. It transforms into a silver spatial pattern and is imprinted on the Nascent Soul. It is sufficient to deal with the teleportation techniques of the early Nascent Soul stage. In addition, Wang Yu is in seclusion to integrate various techniques.

I am currently focused on comprehending the meaning of the Dharma, so I have temporarily stopped putting it aside.

The power of space is difficult to repair.

The efficiency of a single placement slot is still too slow. Moreover, the secret technique from the Void Dao Treasury has almost no upper limit. It is equivalent to a spatial magic. The longer the Heavenly Lock is condensed, the better the effect.

Furthermore, even if one achieves some success in the secret techniques.

He still couldn't draw power from the normal space; the environment was too stable. He could only rely on the unique absorption ability of the storage space to cultivate.

The saying "Even a clever housewife can't cook without rice" perfectly illustrates this point.

On the side.

Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, Jin Miaoshan exclaimed in surprise, "You offended a powerful cultivator? No wonder there's been no news of you all these years; you've been on the run!"

"I guess so."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Miaoshan, if you can persuade the Heavenly Roc King to take action, do you have a spatial treasure that can seal away teleportation techniques?"

"This... what are you prepared to give in return?"

One thing at a time, and personal relationships are personal relationships.

Jin Manlou certainly has the resources, but the problem is that even if she were a candidate for succession, it wouldn't be so easy for her to access such a valuable treasure.

They can't let anyone know they're helping Wang Yu, since that kid has a terrible reputation at Jinmanlou. It would be good enough if they didn't kick him when he's down, let alone ask for his help.

“Name your terms. If this matter can be resolved, I will be able to return to the Holy Sect and reach the summit of Cold Blood Peak.”

Then came the great battle between good and evil.

He realized that 70% of the reason for his previous back-and-forth was due to the pressure to survive. It was normal for him to be ruthless when it came to acquiring resources, which was also typical of the Red Kite.

Now that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is in turmoil, it presents another opportunity to climb higher.

If he could withstand it, he would then take off and become the sect's patriarch.

You can freely browse the core inheritance and learn more about the secrets of the Ice Prison Realm.

If things get too tough, temporarily seeking refuge with Lei Huo Temple is one option, given the relationship I'd established with Lei Yao beforehand. If that doesn't work, I'll become a rogue cultivator.

The world is vast, and you can go anywhere.

This confidence came from his cultivation level; the improvement in his cultivation level ultimately gave him more choices.

As for why they participated in this battle between good and evil.

Resources were only a small part of the reason. What really puzzled him was the Huangquan Temple's stubborn attitude. He always felt that the other party had a conspiracy.

He had become suspicious when he robbed Guiling's sacred offerings back then.

The people of Huangquan Temple are looking for something, and that thing is very likely in Yunling Prefecture, or more precisely, perhaps in the territory of Xinzhuyue Prefecture.

As a ceded territory, it doesn't have abundant resources, yet the intense competition for it raises questions. These issues will surface sooner or later, so there's no need to dwell on them for now.

Seeing Wang Yu's arrogant attitude, as if he thought, "You can make any conditions you want."

Kim Myo-sun's lips curled up, and she squinted her eyes as she spoke.

"If you ask again next time, it will definitely be something you can do. I'll help you this time."

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

"No need, Miaoshan still trusts me that much."

"Alright."

After a slight surprise, Wang Yu patiently waited for Tianpeng King to arrive. The other party was faster than Peng Qing; although it was said to take three days, he actually arrived a day earlier.

Wang Yu held himself very low to this imposing and handsome demon king, deeply aware that his current status was not enough to be on equal footing with him.

After his private conversation with Tianpeng King, the latter left immediately.

He did not communicate with Kim Myo-sun and Kim Hee-won.

Seeing this, she asked out of curiosity.

What was the result?

Wang Yu pondered for a moment, then shook the Peng Feather token in his hand.

"It's settled, even though the price was quite high, it's worth it."

"What price?"

"secret."

Pushing away the curious children who were getting too close, Wang Yu's next plan is to go into seclusion to deeply study the Demon Refining Technique, continue to deduce and advance, and then refine a batch of magical treasures.

"Miaoshan, Fellow Daoist Jinxi, this is my token. Please wait for me in Fengzhou Prefecture for three years. That will be the time to truly make my move."

Three years is not a long time for a high-level cultivator, so he readily agreed.

Once the matter was settled and the demon cat clan paid compensation, the matter would be considered over. Most of the demon cats that had migrated and gone into hiding would probably come back, but Wang Yu did not intend to stay here any longer.

It's just a low-grade fourth-order spiritual vein.

Unlike other Nascent Soul cultivators, his cultivation requirements are incredibly low; he can even increase his cultivation in a completely barren environment, all thanks to the powerful placement of his cultivation pet.

After leaving the cat demon territory, they flew three hundred miles towards Fengzhou.

They simply found a mountain peak to settle down.

After taking out the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform, which had a seventy-year lifespan, Wang Yu began a secluded cultivation period where he simultaneously comprehended the Dao and began refining the artifacts. Fifteen fourth-tier demon corpses were enough for him to create.

As for the elixir of the Five-Colored Saint, he had actually already refined it, but he made an excuse not to refine it and left it in his cave in Little Spirit Mountain.

Now that we have direct contact with King Tianpeng, we will have plenty of time to deal with the demons of the North, so there's no need to worry about him running away or ceasing cooperation.

…………

…………

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

There wasn't a trace of spiritual energy in the desolate cave.

However, this did not affect the surging flames. Three years was neither a long nor a short time, not enough for the weapon crafting section of the demon refining technique to advance to the fourth rank.

But just like alchemy in the past, a mastery of the third-order perfect level is already enough to work on the fourth-order level, but high-grade alchemy cannot be refined.

There's still a good chance of getting a lower grade.

Not to mention, when he sat cross-legged on the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform, it was as if he had unlocked a sudden enlightenment cheat. His superb comprehension also gave him a constant stream of inspiration, and the first thing he refined was the Insect Gu.

According to his estimation, the Ice Flame Emperor Butterfly is about to be born.

The difficulty of the Insect Vessel is relatively simple, mainly because it is used as a container. He chose the corpse of an ice-attribute demon cat.

Using the fourth-tier ice-attribute equipment obtained from the treasure exchange event, and the spatial equipment obtained by fusing some storage rings, a fourth-tier auxiliary magic weapon is crafted with Ice Dragon Flame.

Demon Refining Techniques: The Art of Weaponry

It can only be described as an evil technique. The refining process was extremely cruel. Under the influence of the demon-refining technique, the flesh and blood of the entire demon cat's corpse rapidly fell off and turned into a ball of flesh and blood.

It was mixed with hair, claws, eyeballs, and internal organs.

It's disgusting.

Fortunately, after being burned by the Ice Dragon Flame, it was completely reduced to a writhing mass of flesh and blood, and the remaining bones also melted rapidly, under the control of the refining hand seals and the fine adjustment of the divine sense.

A bone worm bowl quickly formed. The bowl itself is a utensil for stewing soup and can also be used to boil wine. It is about nine inches high and has a round lid.

It is also excellent for containing Gu worms. Generally, it is contained in three forms: bag, tube, and cup, after the demon corpse is initially refined.

Wang Yu continued to melt the spatial equipment, turning it into streaks of silver that merged into the inner wall. Thanks to the secret technique of the Heavenly Lock, his understanding of space was not completely blank.

No specific crafting blueprints are needed; the Demon Crafting Technique emphasizes following fate and adapting teaching methods to individual needs!

It can be refined to the liking of the weapon refiner to produce the finished product.

Whether a creature is powerful or not is also closely related to the quality of its demon corpse.

As the last piece of cold-attribute equipment transformed into cold liquid and merged into the bone jar, the previously separated flesh and blood sphere covered it, and Wang Yu let out a low shout.

"—Refine!"

The Ice Dragon Flame surged even more fiercely, and the mysterious and unpredictable demon-refining runes took on the form of the Five Elements and Five Directions, making all the materials perfectly round and gradually indistinguishable from one another.

Inside the bone jar, a space was opened up, and several icebergs rose from the ground, creating the most suitable environment for the Ice Flame Butterfly to live in, blooming with endless ice crystal flowers.

The interior scenery must be extremely beautiful.

The above scene occurred at the beginning of the three-year seclusion. After two years of nurturing and gestation, it has now been fully formed and born!

"Tier 4, Low-Grade Ice Bone Cauldron!"

This treasure is mainly used to contain the Ice Flame Butterfly swarm, and is not a main combat magic weapon. The characteristics of the Demon Refining Technique give it even more potential for advancement.

As long as you integrate with a suitable demon corpse, advancement will not be a problem.

certainly.

This characteristic is not enough for it to develop spirituality and become a fifth-tier spiritual treasure; it is sufficient for Wang Yu.

The Ice Bone Cup has a base color as delicate and white as bone, with red and blue interwoven to form butterfly patterns. At first glance, it looks like a work of art. After a brief look, Wang Yu put it into his Qi Sea for refining.

At the same time.

The main materials used are Dragon Blood Demon Tree, fourth-tier demon cat corpse, Taihe Flowing Silver Gold, etc.

The highlight of this seclusion was the simultaneous emergence of a magical alchemy furnace, which Wang Yu referred to as the "Taihe Blood Cauldron."

Both cauldrons and furnaces can be used for alchemy.

The difference is that the former can also be used in combat, unlike the latter which is entirely for alchemy. He had long wanted a fourth-order alchemy cauldron.

The Taihe Blood Cauldron was a product of the later stages of this seclusion. Although it hadn't been in development for long, its craftsmanship was extremely exquisite. While it didn't reach the mid-grade level, it was still one of the top-tier items among the low-grade fourth-order magic treasures.

Refine the elixir several more times, nourish it with the essence of the precious elixir, and after a maximum of three hundred batches, you may be able to advance to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

Considering the rarity of materials for a single batch of high-grade elixirs, it would take a considerable amount of time to accumulate them. The crafting of the two magical artifacts solved many problems.

Theoretically, the remaining Dragon Blood Demon Tree materials could be used to craft a coffin, but the properties don't match those of the Thunder Corpse, so there's no need to craft it for the time being.

He didn't make a move; there were still thirteen fourth-tier demon corpses left.

in addition.

Among his existing magical treasures, he still lacks one for primary combat use. The Yellow Spring Demon Sword is no longer sufficient, and the Glazed Ice Heart Tower is his natal magical treasure, which also suppresses two Nascent Soul cultivators.

He needed to use his magic weapon regularly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the Ghost Cry Flute.

This is a veteran contributor.

First update complete. Second update will be posted late at night, so don't wait!
