On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.
The immortal sec...
Chapter 434 Talking and Ambush
"Heh~"
The warm, moist air rushed onto my neck, spreading along my jawline, bringing the whole area into a state of humid heat, a tingling, numbing sensation that was simply wonderful.
Jin Miaoshan's blue dress revealed her snow-white shoulders and collarbones, while the blue and white lotus pattern accentuated her breasts, without revealing a single cleavage.
The combination of alluring sexiness and conservatism leaves one's throat dry, and the body writhing like a water snake repeatedly colliding and rubbing against each other.
She is truly a rare beauty!
At this moment, noticing the abnormality in Wang Yu's body, Jin Miaoshan suddenly left his embrace, a small round fan appearing in her hand, which she charmingly covered the lower half of her face.
Her eyebrows curved, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Miaoshan thought her brother was a clueless, unromantic cultivator, but today's test shows he's got quite the fiery temper!"
Wang Yu smiled nonchalantly and sat down at the small round table inside the building.
As the saying goes, "Big-headed son, small-headed father."
Most men are controlled by their smaller heads, and humans are the only animals that are in heat all year round; everyone has the desire to reproduce.
He has strong self-control and knows when to relax.
She was testing me just now.
Wang Yu responded, "Miaoshan, it's fine to have some fun, but don't get too caught up in it. We cultivators should find our place in the world. If we can live on in this world, it's not too late to seek a spiritual home."
"--Pooh!"
These words were both teasing and sincere, but they also made Kim Myo-sun feel a little embarrassed. She spat out a sarcastic remark but didn't continue the conversation.
His expression returned to calm as he sat down opposite Wang Yu.
"Demon Lord, how have you been? Let's get down to business."
"I'm all ears."
He lay back, and fine ice crystals spread beneath him, quickly forming a recliner. He lay down comfortably, and the Blood Fiend Gourd appeared in his hand again.
The blood-brewed spirit wine flowed out, all of it falling into Wang Yu's mouth.
After years of seclusion, it's time for him to relax; he's also a connoisseur of wine.
However, this behavior made Kim Myo-sun somewhat unhappy.
But we still got down to business.
"Jin Lin took on the business from Huang Quan Temple this time and sent people to retrieve a precious treasure from Jin Chan City. It is said to be a treasure from the period of You Quan Bai Gu Dao."
"He came south from Youzhou specifically to meet the treasure-carrying team. There are many powerful people in the team. If we want to succeed, we must do so before the two sides meet."
【Youquan White Bone Path】is the predecessor of Huangquan Temple. The latter inherited the sect's legacy and officially established itself in the Chiyuan Demon Realm ten thousand years ago.
In terms of cultivation methods, the two are of the same lineage, but they are indeed two different forces.
Wang Yu's focus differed from Jin Miaoshan's, and he paused slightly while drinking.
"What treasure?"
"The Yellow Springs Earth-Penetrating Mirror is a fifth-order spiritual treasure. It is incomplete because it has lost all its spirituality. All I know is that it is a secret treasure of the [Nether Springs White Bone Path]. I don't know its specific effects or what price the Yellow Springs Temple paid."
Wang Yu suddenly stood up. Each of the fifth-tier spiritual treasures has a name and a name, and they are extremely rare. Only one can be dug out from ruins and secret realms occasionally.
He had never possessed one before, and if he could acquire one through this, his strength at the Nascent Soul stage would be even greater.
Kim Myo-sun, who guessed what he was thinking, remained silent.
"The escort team is very strong. If Jin Lin is really dead, Jin Manlou will also investigate. That treasure is an asset of the building. Jin Lin was just representing the building in the transaction with Huangquan Temple."
"If it is lost because of this, they will surely send powerful experts to retrieve it, and then I won't be able to protect you."
She could take responsibility for murder, since it was a struggle between succession candidates; but colluding with outsiders to seize the treasures inside the building was a completely different matter.
Even if she didn't have enough influence, Jin Xiyuanjun, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, did something like this, he would be labeled a traitor and would definitely be executed with all his might.
After she reminded him, Wang Yu thought about it and understood.
I wasn't overly attached to it.
"Tell me about the powerful figures around Jin Lin."
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Due to the war, Jin Manlou has dispatched a large number of Nascent Soul level tower masters to Youzhou. There are five Nascent Soul early stage masters in total. They are under Jin Lin's control, but they are not completely at his beck and call."
That's what they say.
However, since he was dispatched to Youzhou to take charge, he must have some kind of kinship with Jin Lin's faction, or their interests must be intertwined and difficult to separate.
It's impossible to completely obey the orders of a junior, but they will help in times of crisis. Therefore, taking action in Youzhou is unrealistic and would easily lead to an attack.
Wang Yu understood what Jin Miaoshan wanted to express.
He then gestured for her to continue.
"His protector has also advanced a major realm due to the war. He is a cultivator who has just entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I believe you are quite familiar with him."
"I'm familiar with it too?"
Wang Yu's heart stirred.
"The Shadowless Mystic Lord?"
"That's right, it was him. Lou Gao, who came to assassinate me back then, was his eldest disciple. Not long after that incident, Wu Ying completely sided with Jin Lin's faction."
"All the Shadowless Assassins he trained were placed under Jin Lin's command. These people were of average strength, but they were very good at infiltration and intelligence gathering."
These assassins basically relied on unorthodox Golden Core techniques to directly ascend from the peak of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Core Formation, and could never advance any further in their lives.
Furthermore, the external golden core within them can be passed down; even after death, it can be extracted and given to the next successor.
This secret technique was passed down from the Shadowless Mystic Lord.
After he contributed it to Jin Manlou, Jin Lin's lineage came and spent a huge sum of money to create three hundred heretical golden pills, specifically for use as assassins.
Over the years, some have been damaged or lost. There are currently about two hundred left, and the value they have created has exceeded the cost of refining heterodox golden pills.
I wonder if they'll make another batch.
"The Shadowless Mystic Lord and this group of assassins are quite troublesome. I have already entrusted Senior Jin Xiyuanjun to investigate them. There are also two Nascent Soul cultivators with him."
"One of them is the [Cursed Demon Lord] of Huangquan Temple, who accompanies the treasure-carrying team. He is at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage and is proficient in curse techniques and divine sense secrets, making him very difficult to deal with."
"One is Jin Lin's elder, called [Jin Yan Dao Ren], who is also at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage and is skilled in sword control, which is extremely fast."
After this thorough consideration, Wang Yu had a clear idea of what was going on.
Based on a preliminary assessment using pairs, it appears they are still missing a Nascent Soul cultivator. Thinking of this, Wang Yu suddenly asked curiously.
"When we parted last time, you said that when we met again, we would definitely have formed our Nascent Souls. Has that been achieved?"
Kim Myo-sun's face fell immediately; she had really brought up the very thing she didn't want to talk about.
He stubbornly insisted.
"It's only been a little over ten years. I've barely managed to cultivate to the peak of Core Formation. I still need to hone my skills for a while before I can start breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. I also need to return to Golden Toad City before I can begin to break through."
Kim Myo-sun possesses a relatively advanced concealment artifact.
Simple probing wouldn't reveal her secrets, and forcibly trying to pry would be impolite, so Wang Yu wasn't actually trying to touch on her sore spot.
"If that's the case, then it's a one-against-two situation for Wang? Are you confident you can kill Jin Lin?"
"Don't worry, we have other helpers. You'll find out when we get to Taozhou."
"Very well, I'll follow your arrangements this time."
I have something to do today, so I'll only post one chapter of two thousand words.
I'll probably be taking the day off tomorrow to enjoy the New Year. I hope my readers will understand. Thank you!
