Chapter 111 Advancement of the Returning to Origin Technique
The next day.
Wang Yu had packed his things early on. In fact, apart from the set of [Blood Mist Concealing Spirit Array] flags, there wasn't much else to pack, just a few pieces of furniture.
At the end of the Yin hour, at the transition between day and night.
The number of disciples has decreased by a third, with nearly half of them now gathered in the plaza at the edge of the spirit field. There were more than 800 when they arrived, but now there are only more than 500.
Most of them died in the Ghost Eye Cave, becoming a delicious treat for the little spiders, while a small number went missing, disappearing on the road to Heart-Eater City.
"Junior Brother Wang."
"Senior Brother Situ."
After exchanging greetings, the two began to chat, or rather, it would be more accurate to describe it as a mixture of flattery and probing.
"It's been a while since I last saw you. Junior Brother Wang's cultivation has progressed so quickly. When I went to Xuan Gu Mountain, it took me almost six years to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining after I returned."
Wang Yu looked distressed.
"Senior brother, why be like this? You have the aptitude of three spiritual roots, while I have the aptitude of a useless spiritual root. You have a good chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, while my lifespan is limited. Let alone reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, it's questionable whether I can even live to fifty. How can we compare?"
Situ Hong gave an awkward laugh and immediately changed the subject.
"Is there any explanation for going back early this time? Should I help you find another suitable task?"
"No need, I can't trouble my senior brother for help every time."
"Helping once is helping, helping twice or three times is also helping. Don't be shy. You helped me too, didn't you? You're quick and decisive. I'll need your help a lot more in the future."
Wang Yu still shook his head.
"Let's pay back the favors we owe first. There are a lot of people here, so it's best if you don't get too close to me, senior brother."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the edge of the crowd, inconspicuous.
Situ Hong was somewhat stunned by what he saw. It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the grand-disciple of the Red Cloud Immortal that he realized he had seen this guy.
Ever since he was brutally beaten by Situ Hongmeng.
This man became somewhat paranoid, often suspecting that the people around him were up to no good. He knew that Situ Hong was the one who did it.
But the other person, whose cultivation was unfathomable and whose methods were ruthless, became a nightmare. Every time he thought of him, he felt a pain as if his body was being shattered, and his will was completely destroyed.
Around dawn, when a medium-sized magical flying boat appeared on the horizon, the veiled female cultivator from Cold Blood Peak finally appeared. The third-tier low-grade [Land Traveling Boat] she released proved her identity as Yan Ling.
Even ordinary Core Formation elders don't possess this kind of person; they must be either extremely wealthy or of high status, falling within the elite circles of Cold Blood Peak. Yan Ling is the most likely candidate.
To be honest, Wang Yu was a little tempted by her water-type Heavenly Spiritual Root. If he could devour it with the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse, the benefits would be... tsk tsk. It's a pity that the two are not related by blood.
"Everyone boarded the ship, and after the handover, we set off to return to the sect."
"yes!"
Yan Ling's voice remained aloof, but Wang Yu detected a hint of smugness in it.
…………
…………
One month later.
"Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, I'm back!"
On his first day back, after submitting the mission at Zhudianfang, the bounty, reduced by 40%, was issued. Without lingering, Wang Yu went to the Alchemy Hall and used his contribution points to exchange for a pill formula to enhance the strength of spirit beasts.
Its name is [Beast Taming Pill], a first-tier pill formula. It will be perfected after three months. In order to refine it into a top-grade pill, Wang Yu removed the Xuan Yin Hand and replaced it with the pill formula.
For Unit 4, just put whatever you have in there; if there's nothing else, throw in the Mysterious Yin Hand technique—it's absolutely foolproof.
The reason for cultivating the Snow Jade Fox is firstly because it is also of the ice attribute, and can cooperate with Wang Yu to achieve an effect greater than two.
Secondly, it's because the Snow Jade Fox's bloodline seems to have some significance. Even in its infancy, it could use a bloodline secret technique called "Ice and Snow Technique," which could cause snow to fall in an area.
As he grows up, he will definitely awaken more bloodline secret techniques. He plans to go to the lecture hall to check it out when he has time.
Half a day later, I contacted Huang Kai again.
This person founded the Alchemist Society with him many years ago. Of the four, only he and Wang Yu survived. Now he has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is not a slow progress.
Judging that this person might have the potential to establish his foundation, he began to deepen his contact with him, and after entrusting him to help purchase a batch of spiritual herbs for refining the [Beast Taming Pill], he hurriedly returned to his cave in the Heavenly Corpse Workshop.
An important matter needs to be addressed.
More than ten years ago, the first level of the Cold Blood Technique was perfected. More than ten years later, this technique is about to advance.
In fact, this technique should have advanced faster, but it became slower and slower as it progressed, overturning the initial prediction that the efficiency of the two placement slots would double.
Just like making a precise Luban lock, two people are more efficient when preparing the parts, but one person is faster when assembling them.
He encountered this problem.
The placement bar is essentially the same as another piece of knowledge he places in his cultivation practice. The basic conditions are the same, which gives him the illusion of doubled efficiency in the short term.
Ultimately, what determines speed is his own comprehension, which determines his upper limit—it's truly mysterious!
He needs more time to research and verify the placement bar, and try to develop the most efficient usage.
Now, the prediction made a month ago has come true at the end of the month.
He didn't have to wait long before the information in the first and second placement slots changed simultaneously.
[Placement Slot 1: Frostblood Spirit Ascension Technique (No further derivatives possible)]
"Frosty Blood Ascension Technique (0/100): Practice forty-eight times a day, and you can master it in ten years."
Unexpected.
After the cultivation technique is advanced, no further information is displayed. The four large characters "衍无可衍" (meaning there is no way to extend it further) indicate that the placement bar can no longer be extended.
No, it should be said that this technique has reached its limit.
There was no longer enough basic theory to support it to reach a higher level. When he closed his eyes and felt it, almost without any pause, the route of spiritual energy circulation in the meridians changed!
Everything happened so naturally, it became instinctive.
Just as he had been practicing this technique day and night for twenty years, he easily completed the transformation of the technique.
Its grade has also reached the second rank, which is enough to support him to complete the entire Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation. He may even need to consider changing his cultivation method after breaking through to the Core Formation stage.
What does it feel like to cultivate the Qi Refining Realm using a second-tier superior-grade technique from the Perfected Realm? Wang Yu felt like he was flying!
A quick estimate reveals that if one placement slot previously yielded "2 strands/day", it would now yield "4 strands/day", and if both placement slots are used simultaneously, it would yield "8 strands/day".
Efficiency doubled, a result comparable to improving qualifications.
As he cultivates the new technique "Frosty Blood Ascension Technique," once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the transformative change brought about by the leap in his life level, combined with the technique's effect of enhancing his aptitude, will be a great benefit.
Even without the [Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse], he could still evolve his mutated Yin and Ice Spiritual Roots from four inches to nine inches, reaching a level comparable to three Spiritual Roots.
All roads lead to Rome, and now he has traversed both, leaving him with no worries whatsoever.
Having just returned to the sect and encountered such a joyous occasion, I felt refreshed and exhilarated, with a sense of triumph.
With the increased efficiency of the placement bar, the breakthrough time also needs to be recalculated. Furthermore, the highest-grade Cold Blood Pill can only be consumed up to the ninth level of Qi Refining before a pill barrier will appear, at which point it will have to be replaced with the [Meditating Heart Pill].
However, it can also save him a lot of time.
"Ten years... with the pills, it's seven or even six years. The breakthrough time has been halved, which is excellent!"
He muttered to himself, the changes brought about by the advancement in his cultivation technique were immediate and unlikely to be experienced again in a short period of time.
After that day...
After resting for three days, Wang Yu waited for Huang Kai to deliver the Beast-Feeding Pill before setting out to search for suitable candidates to recommend.
The Ice and Snow Pavilion also needs to be cleaned up, and his relationship with Su Zhenchuan needs to be completely severed.
