Chapter 105 Dragon Inner Core
The waitress took out a piece of white paper.
"Look, this is the Spirit Stone Loan product recently launched by Jinmanlou. You can take the goods first and pay with spirit stones later, and you only need to pay back a portion each year."
"Of course, a tiny, negligible amount of interest will also be required."
Spirit Stone Loan?
Upon hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar term, Wang Yu's vision went black.
"How many?"
"The interest rate is 20%. For each overdue payment, an additional 0.5% interest will be added to the total loan amount, with no upper limit."
"Anyone can borrow it?"
“Of course not.” The maid pointed to the disciple token at Wang Yu’s waist, which made him realize something.
"What if you rely on your strength and refuse to pay?"
“The Nascent Soul cultivators from Jinmanlou will be responsible for coming to collect the debt.”
Wang Yu awkwardly put the jade pot down.
"I think I'll look at something lower-level, like Tier 1?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to use spirit stones for the loan, the maid's attitude remained gentle, though her gaze was a bit strange. If she had encountered someone with a strong sense of pride, she might have agreed to the loan.
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on Wang.
Hilarious! His second brother is impotent! Seduction and self-esteem stimulation are useless.
"For Tier 1, there are more options, but Tier 1 monsters are limited in size and produce less essence blood. Since our distinguished guest requires dragon blood, the price will be 30% higher than essence blood of the same level."
"Take it out and let us see."
"OK."
As these jade pots disappeared into the drawers of the cabinet wall, a batch of jade bottles containing dragon essence blood was delivered.
"A first-tier dragon-type demon beast, the Ice Dragon Python, costs three thousand spirit stones for a bottle containing nine drops of its essence blood."
"A first-tier dragon-type demon beast, the Swamp Purple Dragon, costs 2,800 spirit stones for a bottle containing nine drops of its essence blood."
"A first-tier dragon-type demon beast, the Alligator Dragon, costs 2,500 spirit stones for a bottle containing nine drops of its essence blood."
"First tier..."
The maid explained a lot; each bottle contained nine drops, and according to the medicinal bath recipe included with "Jiaolong Jin," one drop could make three servings of the secret medicine.
Buying one bottle would be enough for him until the later stages of body refinement. This kind of expense is actually not expensive. The further you go in body refinement, the more resources you consume. The cost at the first stage is just a drop in the bucket.
"This is it, the essence blood of the Ice Dragon Python."
"Very well, I'll accept three thousand spirit stones."
After completing the transaction, Wang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and went to purchase the other medicinal materials for the body-refining elixir. With this, the fourth slot would be freed up.
He had perfected the Flood Dragon Force Technique, but he had only reached the "Fourth Tendon" level. Using the secret medicine to accelerate his progress was just right, and the empty slots could also be used to arrange spells.
[Placement slot 4: Invisibility]
[Invisibility Technique (3/100): Practice 24 times a day, mastery takes three years.]
As a second-tier low-grade technique, it was quite difficult for Wang Yu to study, but it only took three years to place in the skill bar, which shows the difference between the two.
Invisibility, as the name suggests, allows one to become invisible.
It is divided into four realms: concealment of light, concealment of sound, concealment of form, and concealment of emptiness!
Even if one's cultivation is perfected, and both aspects overlap, it is difficult to sense the presence of an invisible person.
Most of the spiders in Ghost Eye Cave are at the beginner level, namely Light Concealment, and cannot even perfectly disappear, let alone make any sounds.
As the bone technique inherited from the Hidden Dragon Treasure Bone, the second-tier low-grade is only its most primitive state. If one can hunt down a Hidden Dragon with a stronger bloodline in the future, perhaps one can learn a more advanced stealth technique.
This situation does not fall under the category of being incomplete.
The placement slots cannot be filled; rather, they are some kind of lower-level replacements, and it would be more appropriate to describe them as advanced.
In this way...
Invisibility, the Mysterious Yin Hand... and the Corpse Demon Secret Technique—he had already planned the order in which to place them.
As Wang Yu was buying the auxiliary medicine "Snake Saliva Fruit" at the counter of spiritual medicine, he suddenly turned his head to look at the figure walking towards the door. This person seemed to have just come down the stairs.
He looked middle-aged, and his eyes were extremely wary.
Subconsciously activating the Yin Eyes, he could see the "yin" side of the moon from the perspective of the person's soul fire. In the center of the person's soul fire, there was a golden pill-shaped object emitting a hazy spiritual light.
The aura of the dragon was particularly strong among them.
It was as if the cultivation technique was automatically operating and refining, with a continuous stream of golden and red threads being drawn out and scattered into the person's limbs and bones.
"Dragon's inner core?"
Wang Yu was startled and quickly paid the bill, took the snake saliva fruit, and followed involuntarily.
The dragon... is already a second-tier bloodline in the dragon race, with aptitude similar to that of the human race's Heavenly Spiritual Root. It can be guaranteed to reach the Core Formation stage, and if it has the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be a problem.
The dragon's demon core, also known as the dragon pearl, is a rare and precious treasure, and can even replace foundation-building and core-forming spiritual objects.
The next level of dragon pearls has similar effects.
Having studied Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for some time, he had a deep understanding of their intricacies.
Wang Yu was incredibly tempted, as he had been drawn to Corruption City by a baseless rumor. He wondered what grade this person's inner core of a dragon had reached.
He encountered such an opportunity and even discovered it.
To take it or not? Is it possible to take it? That is the question.
After leaving Jinmanlou, the man headed towards the city gates with a clear goal in mind, his steps quick. Wang Yu activated the Night Concealment Spell and followed closely behind, a battle raging within him.
After a short while, they left the City of Heartbreak.
The man immediately took out a spirit boat about ten feet long, jumped on it, and activated it to its maximum power, transforming into a streak of azure light as he quickly disappeared into the distance.
Seeing this, Wang Yu could only sigh regretfully.
It was too fast for him to catch up.
That's good. This way, I can also cut off any evil thoughts in my heart and avoid becoming a villain without any bottom line.
Sudden.
Two more arcs of light suddenly soared into the air, quickly chasing after the direction the person had left in. The fact that they could fly without the aid of any flying artifacts meant they were definitely Foundation Establishment cultivators.
These two individuals had unfamiliar faces, suggesting they were not Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Heart-Eroding City area. The obvious pursuit and escape made Wang Yu's heart itch with desire.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to do it if I asked him to rob and kill innocent strangers just because of a treasure.
But if two groups are fighting each other, he can steal the spoils and become the fisherman without any worries.
This mentality may seem contradictory, but it is actually a reason for some people to cross the line. Whether they stop after a brief attempt or go completely out of control depends entirely on their self-discipline.
Wang Yu, riding on a flying sword, had already darted out.
Although he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he had witnessed the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator several times when he was at Xuan Gu Mountain, and he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator trained by a Nascent Soul sect.
These people are definitely weaker than Steward Xu.
He has become stronger. He can't guarantee victory in battle, but he is confident that he can escape unscathed after a fight!
Otherwise, with so many perfected techniques, each described as comparable to Foundation Establishment upon completion, would he have wasted his time cultivating them? Impossible!
However, greed aside, the key to this trip is to be adaptable and seize opportunities when they arise, otherwise, just let it go.
He suffered no loss whatsoever.
"accelerate!"
Perhaps some method was used on the cultivator who possessed the inner core of the dragon, because the two early Foundation Establishment cultivators who were chasing after him were very accurate in their direction.
The undisguised aura also provided Wang Yu with coordinates, trailing far behind the tail.
