Chapter 419 Old Friends from Tianbao City Bestow Pills and Treasures

The person he was looking for was Situ Hong.

Those who truly met when they were humble beginnings, and are among the few still alive.

Since the Blood Abyss training ended and Peach Blossom Ghost Mother died at Wang Yu's hands, she was completely freed and had been following him for decades.

The two were not too far apart in age; Wang Yu was only about ten years younger. If it weren't for the Nine Evil Sword Lord incident, he would have gone to Tianbao City long ago.

After the Zhuo family reclaimed Guiling City, his "confidants," namely Qingyang Jushi and Xu Ruozhou, reaped a huge harvest under his remote command.

After absconding with the money, he joined up with Situ Hong and stayed in Tianbao City to cultivate. This place is similar to Jinchan City of the Jin Clan of Tianchi, both being the most suitable places for independent cultivators to cultivate.

The order is strict enough that with spirit stones, most things can be resolved.

then.

Wang Yu participated in a prefecture-level auction in Tianbao City and unexpectedly acquired a set of materials for the Nascent Soul Pill, thus offending the Yin-Yang Sect Master, who was also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the Yin-Yang Sect only has one Nascent Soul cultivator, and there is a lack of successors. In a few hundred years, he will be gone. He has some connection with the Refining Heaven Demon Sect.

Wang Yu knew he had offended the other party, but the other party might not know that he was their enemy.

At most, based on the location of his only son's death, he could guess that the enemy was someone from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, someone who had absolutely no connection to him, Wang.

If one had to pinpoint a flaw, it would lie in the three outsiders he hired at the time. The families behind Qiao and Chu had business dealings with him in the elixir trade, so there's no need to overthink it.

The only flaw lies in the person he introduced to develop in Guiling. He has forgotten his name, as he hasn't been active in this area for a long time.

Tianbao City stands in the southeast of Xueyuan Prefecture, occupying a large area of ​​neutral territory. It is adjacent to Liuju Prefecture of the Liantian Demon Sect, and in the past, it would take at least a month to get there.

With his current Nascent Soul speed, even though his Aurora Escape Technique hasn't been upgraded yet, it would only take him a few days to travel. Considering the matter of supporting Black Mountain Pass later...

He also needs to have a few capable subordinates under his command.

thus.

This trip is not only to reclaim spirit stones, but also to truly bring Qingyang and Xu Ruozhou into the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, seamlessly connecting them to the war between good and evil.

With their level of cultivation, they also need this opportunity.

Besides encountering benefactors on the path of spiritual cultivation, opportunity is also extremely important. Those who dare to risk their lives will eventually succeed as long as they don't die; this is a truth.

Four days later.

The magnificent Tianbao City came into view, with floating immortal mountains in the sky forming Nascent Soul training grounds, a way for Tianbao City to flex its muscles.

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators watching, who would dare to cause trouble in Tianbao City?

In comparison.

Although the Reverse Blood Sect values ​​order, they disregard human life. Only gold tempered in blood and fire is true gold. The fact that there are so many "murder alleys" in the Reverse Blood Ten Workshops may not be without their tacit approval.

As a commercial center, order is the top priority for Tianbao City.

Rumors circulated that the offspring of Nascent Soul cultivators were punished on the spot for not paying with spirit stones when buying things in the city, with their cultivation being crippled.

This well-known "secret" has given Tianbao City a very positive image, and its good image is a major factor in its development to this point!

certainly.

The aftermath of this event is not something everyone is entitled to know. The crippled Nascent Soul offspring was saved by the secret treasures of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and even rose to a new level after being broken through.

That Nascent Soul cultivator became deeply grateful to Tianbao Pavilion and became a loyal follower.

These kinds of methods.

Jin Manlou also used it, but the effect wasn't that good.

Moreover, Tianbao Pavilion is a merchant organization with a rotating system. There are member clans on both sides of Chiyuan and Taihu Lake, and the position of Pavilion Master is rotated among the six clans.

Jinmanlou is essentially a family business. While it may not have the same level of top-tier experts as Tianbaoge, its strength lies in its unity. It started as a family business and has maintained its status ever since.

Logically speaking, the competition among the former should be more intense and ruthless, since there is no blood relation to them.

The reality is that the internal competition within Jinmanlou is even more underhanded, with all sorts of means being used. How Tianbaoge manages to maintain such harmony is their secret.

Wang Yu didn't know either.

With his thoughts in a jumble, Wang Yu used a communication artifact to contact Situ Hong after entering the city. It was a pair of jade pendants, which had a much longer communication range than the sound transmission jade talisman.

However, they can only communicate with each other, and their universality is not high.

The communication went smoothly, and we agreed to meet at a restaurant in the city.

Ludinglou.

In just half an hour, Wang Yu leaned against the railing and saw the four people who came together, their expressions cautious yet excited.

With a single probe of his divine sense, he uncovered the truth in detail.

Dressed in blue robes and sporting a goatee, the scholar with a refined and scholarly air, Qingyang Jushi walked at the front. The two had not seen each other for over a hundred years, yet they still felt very familiar with each other upon meeting again.

After all, they had done a lot of despicable things together, so they were birds of a feather. Compared to Wang Yu, Qingyang Jushi had a hypocritical and two-faced personality.

With a cultivation level of the fifth stage of Core Formation, he must have gained a lot of benefits in Guiling City. Tianbao City is also very convenient, where you can buy all kinds of treasures.

How could one's cultivation level not improve quickly?

The man in flowing white robes with a three-foot-long sword at his waist was Xu Ruozhou. As the most outstanding soldier commander selected by Wang Yu, he was actually quite a pretty boy.

He was always wearing armor and carrying a spear, so it wasn't very noticeable.

After leaving Guiling City, his true nature was revealed. His dual spiritual roots were not bad, and he is now at the peak of Foundation Establishment. If he has a Core Formation spiritual object to help him, it should not be a problem for him to advance further.

The man in the black robe with a weak and pale face was Situ Hong. This was the appearance of someone who cultivated the ghost path, not to mention his incomparably handsome appearance, which was no less than that of Wang Yu. He also had a fondness for beautiful women and loved courtesans.

In a prosperous place like Tianbao City, it would be strange if anyone could control their spending. He was almost there, even with Wang Yu's Blood Pill replenishing his past losses.

He has only reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment so far, and there is a big question whether he can form a core before his lifespan expires. Situ Hong's aptitude is a bit lacking, as he only has three spiritual roots.

The last one was dressed in black, carrying a deadly blade on his back.

His name was Yang Xiong, a disciple of an elder of Hanxue Peak, a key member of the master-disciple faction, and also an accomplice who helped him kill the only son of the Yin-Yang Sect Master.

The flaw I had previously considered was also his.

Unexpectedly, they came to Tianbao City with Qingyang and the others. Yang Xiong had the highest cultivation level; after many years, he had already reached the eighth level of the Core Formation stage.

As for whether he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage...

It's probably not going to work. Even with the help of a Nascent Soul treasure, the foundation is still a bit lacking. Wang Yu has broken through this threshold before, so he has a lot of confidence in his own judgment.

When it comes to inner strength, it's about seeing through appearances to the essence.

Judging the strength of one's three treasures (essence, energy, and spirit) is quite accurate in assessing a person's foundation. Yang Xiong's three treasures were not as strong as Elder Yu Shu's.

When Wang Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, his physique and spiritual consciousness broke through first, and his foundation was far stronger than that of an "ordinary genius."

Wang Yu would never voice this judgment.

Yang Xiong's willingness to come along suggests he might be trying to obtain Nascent Soul resources or offer advice; either possibility exists.

The news of his return to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and his display of the Nascent Soul realm has already spread throughout Chi Yuan, and he is quite famous. The younger generation of geniuses are generally a hundred years older than him.

However, he was the first to condense his Nascent Soul, which greatly boosted his fame, making him even more famous than some of his seniors.

One side was upstairs, and the other was on the street downstairs.

As they looked at each other, the four became even more excited and rushed forward impatiently.

"City Lord!"

"City Lord."

Elder Wang.

"Brother Wang."

The last sentence was spoken by Situ Hong, deliberately highlighting the close relationship between the two, while he took out a storage ring.

"All the spirit stones that Gui Ling has accumulated are here."

"good."

Wang Yu took the probe and was astonished to find a whopping 20 million low-grade spirit stones. For him now, this resource was just a small sum.

But if I had such a large sum of spirit stones when I was just establishing my foundation, I would be grinning from ear to ear.

"Something came up recently, so I arrived in Tianbao City much later than expected. How have you been?"

Once everyone was seated and the fine wine and delicacies were served, Wang Yu naturally asked a question.

Xu Ruozhou was a hothead and was the first to complain.

The words that came out sounded like a complaint.

"It's terrible. This place has everything, but I don't have any savings. Just renting the cave is a huge expense. I'm only able to survive thanks to Brother Yang Xiong's generous help."

"Ha ha……"

Situ Hong chuckled awkwardly a few times and explained in a low voice.

“These are my brother’s spirit stones; I couldn’t bear to use them.”

"You're really something."

Wang Yu was helpless. He remembered telling Situ to use money when necessary and not to be stingy, but Situ turned out to be a miser.

But he felt a sense of satisfaction at the things his subordinates did.

Qingyang Jushi remained as composed as ever. He understood Wang Yu and knew that Wang Yu would not mistreat his own people.

The reason I left the ink painting sect in the first place was because they were generous and readily provided resources.

Yang Xiong had been a member of this small group for some time.

However, she spent the least amount of time with Wang Yu. Knowing that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she adhered to the attitude that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make; the less she said, the fewer mistakes she would make; and the less she said, the better.

He could simply become a vegetable and not utter a single word.

When he is mentioned, he just smiles憨厚ly, completely different from how he used to draw his sword and slash at the young master of the Yin Yang Sect.

Wang Yu saw this.

He took out his treasured blood wine, a third-tier spirit wine brewed from wine stones. There was a considerable amount, but he didn't drink it often.

The effects were negligible for him now, but they were a great tonic for the four of them. Paired with the spiritual food dishes served at Ludinglou Restaurant, they ate until they almost swallowed their tongues and gained a lot of benefits.

This small reward was not Wang Yu's style, and besides, he would soon be taking them to Heishan Pass to work together.

If this pass can be taken, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect will naturally launch a counterattack against Taihu. Wang Yu suspects that the cooperation between the sect and the Refining Heaven Demon Sect may involve this point.

The latter's attitude towards the Void Heaven Sword Sect was like a dog seeing shit, a cat seeing a mouse, and a rabbit seeing a carrot. They had even reached the point of craving illusions from the ancient demon [life] suppressed by the Sword Sect's mountain gate.

This is common knowledge!

On the other hand, he also wanted to storm into Taihu Lake and plunder it!

Being a demon-slaying vanguard is fun, but being a demon cultivator is even more fun and more in line with his nature, as he doesn't have to worry about offending this person or that person.

The four players need to be strengthened.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Wang Yu stroked the Sea Heart Ring and distributed spirit pills to everyone. The ones given to Situ Hong were mainly blood pills, which could make up for the losses he had suffered from being drained by the Ghost Mother for many years.

Add a pill for cultivating immortality, and the other party will be eternally grateful.

The rewards from Yang Xiong and Qingyang Jushi were mainly human pills. He had the most of these, having killed too many during his years as the Ice Demon Child. He still had quite a few golden pills in his possession.

He can refine them anytime he wants, and he even has the materials for Nascent Soul Human Pills. It's just that his Human Pill Technique is not of a high enough grade, which could easily ruin two Nascent Souls.

Xu Ruozhou is in a more troublesome situation. What he lacks most right now is a Core Formation spiritual item, so Wang Yu simply gave him 500,000 low-grade spirit stones and told him to save up the money to buy it himself.

besides.

Dozens of third-tier magic treasures were also laid out for them to choose from. These were some of the items they had obtained when they were Ice Demon Child, the Core Formation cultivators who caused trouble in Fengzhou.

Not only did he contribute his own flesh and blood essence, but his life savings were also in his hands. What he kept were all high-quality items or special materials for refining.

He has the qualifications to melt down and reforge, after all, refining a fourth-order magic weapon also requires a lot of third-order auxiliary materials. Since he started cultivating, almost all the tools he has used have been stolen.

Now that we have the Demon Refining Technique: Weapon Chapter, we are no longer bound by blueprints and can freely refine any handy magical artifacts we desire.

Most of his strength lies in his supernatural abilities and magical techniques.

The demand for magical artifacts is not actually that high.

The Hermit of the Green Sheep selected a set of Five Elements Rings, a top-grade magic weapon that can both attack and defend, and can also bind enemies—a versatile and excellent item.

Xu Ruozhou chose a halberd, which was a bit difficult to use, but he was still extremely happy. In his eyes, Wang Yu was too damn generous.

The best decision he ever made was following Wang Yu.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

If Wang Yu had been in Wang Yu's shoes back then, and someone had given him a top-grade magic weapon so readily, he would have remembered the kindness and been willing to sacrifice himself for it... even if it meant dying.

Situ Hong chose a flying shuttle magic weapon, also of superior quality, emphasizing speed, clearly having guessed where Wang Yu was going to take them.

Yang Xiong chose a battle armor magic weapon. He was good at close combat and his physical strength was not weak due to his cultivation of the [Yin Sha Xuan Dao Jue].

But they are not as good as pure body cultivators, nor as good as the group of sharp-headed barbarians of Barbarian Ghost Peak.

This sword technique is pretty good.

When Wang Yu was choosing a cultivation method back then, he had also looked at it.

Gifts of elixirs and treasures, along with fine wine and delicacies, brought the relationship closer even after many years apart. After spending some more time together, it was no different from before.

Wang Yu then got down to business.

"You've all heard about the major developments in the sect these past few years. I've decided to take you all to Black Mountain Pass, where Qingyang and Ruozhou can officially join the Holy Sect. What do you think?"

Since the gifts have already been accepted, it's impossible to refuse them now.

Xu Ruozhou wanted to try his luck at forming a Core Formation, and participating in the war between the righteous and demonic forces was the best option. With Wang Yu, a Nascent Soul expert, protecting him, he wouldn't become cannon fodder.

Situ Hong shared the same thought.

Yang Xiong goes without saying; he was obligated to participate in the war, and by following Wang Yu, he would receive many preferential treatments—it's good to take shelter under a big tree.

After hesitating for a moment, Qingyang nodded.

He didn't care about participating in the war, as long as he followed Wang Yu. In private, he wanted to go to the battlefield in Yunling Prefecture. The painting style he cultivated was not popular and was quite rare.

If you want a cultivation technique at the Nascent Soul level, you can only find it in Dongji Jing.

However, going to Black Mountain Pass is not out of the question. After all, we are still far from the Nascent Soul stage, and such thoughts are only at the level of imagination. We are not very confident in breaking through to the next level.

Second update, complete.
