Chapter 151 Taiyin You Tong (Up! Up!) (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Wang Yu became more and more satisfied as he listened.
The Spirit Spring Cold Pool enhances one's talent, the fertile land yields resources, and after reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, one also gains a ticket to the Core Formation path. As long as one has sufficient ability, everything will proceed smoothly.
The three investment conditions paved the way, even more perfectly than his own plan.
However, Wang Yu quickly came to his senses and calmly said.
"So... what are the conditions, or rather, what do I need to do?"
"Simple."
Zuo Qiuming extended three fingers.
"We have three resources, and you've helped us three times when we needed them. That's reasonable, isn't it?"
Before Wang Yu could ask, he continued.
"Of course, we will not let you go to your death willingly, nor will we ask you to accept tasks beyond your capabilities, and we will not go against your principles and conscience."
"There is only one thing: if you are there when we face a life-or-death crisis, you will risk your life to save us."
"You cannot refuse our distress jade talismans under any circumstances, three times! After three times, our relationship will be over, how about that?"
Wang Yu fell silent, not because he thought their conditions were too harsh.
It's too lenient.
It's really difficult for someone of their status to encounter mortal danger, and for him to be unable to refuse—how afraid of death must he be?
Or, to put it another way, just how powerful is the enemy that they would offer such lenient terms?
In the world of demonic cultivation, there is a well-known fact.
When the reward is disproportionate to the effort, it often means that it is a trap that could kill.
So the enemy is an insider...?
Seeing that Wang Yu remained silent and did not agree immediately as they had expected, Yu Xing spoke up and continued to raise the stakes.
"All of this is based on your breakthrough to the Core Formation stage. If you are still at the Foundation Establishment stage, you can choose not to fulfill your obligations. This is our concession. If possible, sign the Styx Contract."
The so-called Styx Pact is a vow made under the witness of the Styx River. It has strong binding force. Those who break the vow will have their souls forever fall into the Styx River, suffer the punishment of being torn to pieces, and never be able to escape.
As for where the River Styx is, no one knows. In any case, it is not in the territory of either the righteous or demonic realms. This is a secret that has been passed down in the ancient times of the demonic path.
It has been verified by countless people, so there's no need to worry about its authenticity.
He pondered for a long time.
Wang Yu discovered a problem: three investments, three opportunities to help, plus the condition that he would fulfill the obligation after breaking through to the Core Formation stage, meant that he would be able to eat the Xuan Tian Secret Realm at the latest.
This confirms that it was not just empty promises, and that long-term interpersonal relationships will develop among the four people during the cooperation. Although they may only have received three investments, if used properly, they will generate countless resources and benefits.
Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
All in!
Finally, Wang Yu decided to agree.
"Then it's settled, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiuming immediately revealed a kind smile.
"Fourth brother, tell me quickly, and I promise I'll help you if I can do it."
Wang Yu nodded.
"I want a treasure that can enhance my comprehension, whether it's temporary or has a weak but lasting effect."
"this--"
The treasures that enhance comprehension are all priceless treasures, even the temporary ones are of considerable value. The three looked at each other in dismay.
A moment later.
Yu Xing gritted his teeth, took out an item, and said.
"This is the Heavenly Enlightenment Futon. Foundation Establishment cultivators can enhance their comprehension by 30% when using it. This treasure is extremely precious and cannot be given to you. You can only borrow it for ten... no, five years, at most five years!"
"That's enough."
Wang Yu smiled with satisfaction. With this treasure, he could save a lot of time.
Seeing this, Zhuo Shouqing took out the Styx Contract, and the four of them discussed writing down all the conditions. After everything was over and the contract was signed, Wang Yu would become one of them.
After he left, Zhuo Shouqing sighed.
"Old Yu, the Heavenly Enlightenment Futon is a treasure that your sister obtained for you from the sect, right? How many years has it been?"
"ten years."
"Tsk tsk, you've already divided it in half, thank you so much."
Yu Xing forced a smile.
“It’s alright. Since we all recognize Wang Yu’s potential, let’s increase our investment. The more we invest now, the more we will benefit when we need his help in the future.”
…………
…………
The matter has come to an end.
Wang Yu quickly planned his time. He could go to the Spirit Spring Cold Pool at any time, and he planned to take out the inheritance jade slip he had obtained from the Xuan Gu Mountain underground palace years ago.
As a Nascent Soul Secret Technique, Taiyin Nether Eye is definitely not that simple. It has a tiered unlocking method, and Wang Yu will only unlock the subsequent content when he reaches the corresponding realm.
Now, he is examining the cultivation methods for the Foundation Establishment stage.
During his Qi Refining stage, the "Moon Gazing" perspective helped him a lot. He was also very curious about this second stage and couldn't wait to inject his divine sense into it. The new information entered his mind.
"The second stage—[Phantom Moon]!"
Soon after, Wang Yu opened his eyes, overjoyed.
The so-called 'Illusory Moon' has two effects. First, it grants him the ability to see through illusions and perceive reality. He not only has a strong insight into illusions, but he can also see through some rudimentary formations.
This unique ability grows stronger as the Taiyin Nether Eyes are cultivated to a higher level, and it has the potential to develop further.
The second effect is that it grants Wang Yu the ability to unleash the Illusionary Eye Technique, which can be achieved simply by the two making eye contact.
This eye technique is called [Realm of Illusory Moon]!
Those who are affected will find themselves on the surface of a calm yet deep body of water, with the moon very close at hand, creating an intense sense of oppression.
They will see their deepest fears on the water's surface, and these fears will materialize, causing them to be killed and tormented repeatedly.
It is an excellent way to break down psychological defenses.
If paired with the Profound Yuan Demon Embryo, Wang Yu would find it much easier to plant demonic thoughts; he could plant them and harvest them immediately, just like he did with Wang Wu back then.
They are essentially the same.
Since acquiring dual spiritual roots, the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo has wanted to further improve its aptitude, so it can only target those with dual spiritual roots or higher, which adds an invisible layer of restriction.
That makes sense.
In addition to the power of the second stage of [Illusory Moon], the effect of the previously perfected [Moon Gazing] has also been greatly enhanced, especially the effect of passively drawing in the essence of the moon to cleanse the soul.
Although this secret technique is a pupil-type secret method, it is also very beneficial to the cultivation of divine sense, helping Wang Yu lay a very solid foundation, which should make it easier for him to cultivate the Ancient Soul Technique in the future.
Awakening from the sea of knowledge, Wang Yu flipped through the placement bar and realized that the current five slots were not yet perfect.
The "Frosty Blood Spirit Ascension Technique" on machines 1 and 2 cannot be touched for the time being. The effect of improving aptitude can be used together with the Frosty Pool, and then it can be replaced.
Unit 5's "Corpse Demon Secret Technique" cannot be activated.
The No. 4 machine's "Mysterious Yin Hand" is also unusable. This technique is only five years away from being perfected, at which time Wang Yu will master a supreme and ultimate skill!
This can be seen from his life-or-death battle with Lao Lan of the Sword Sect. The combat power that this technique can unleash in the Foundation Establishment stage has already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Moreover, it's of extremely high quality, truly worthy of being the core heritage of Huangquan Temple.
With this Xuan Yin Hand technique, his combat strength is actually guaranteed, making it extremely cost-effective!
After much thought, the only thing he could work with was Machine No. 3, "Jiaolong Jin". Due to the "Yinming Demon Jiaoji", he could only deduce the effect through the placement bar to create a second-tier body-refining technique that was inherited from the same lineage.
It was actually one of the things Wang Yu had to place.
However, the daily feedback is too low, and there are still 15 and a half years of storage time left, so the cost-effectiveness is not that high.
"Take it out first. The purpose of cultivating the body is to make up for the loss of a part of the body's blood and qi. Whether there are any short-term consequences or not doesn't really have that much impact on me."
I have a slight understanding of this.
After taking down the "Dragon Force," Wang Yu first tested the placement time of the various inheritances, one by one.
[Placement Slot 3: Taiyin You Tong (Tier 2)]
"Taiyin You Tong (0/100): Practice twenty-four times a day, and you can master it in five years."
Let's try another one.
"Ancient Soul Technique (0/100): Practice forty-eight times a day, and you can master it in twenty years."
"Twenty years..."
Wang Yu frowned and, after a detailed examination, discovered that the Ancient Soul Technique was extremely difficult to cultivate. It required absorbing three kinds of power—Eastern Purple Qi, the essence of the midday sun, and the moonlight at midnight—to temper one's divine sense.
Upon achieving ultimate mastery, one's soul can acquire a unique talent called "Ancient Soul," which can resist the erosion of most forces in the cultivation world.
Each practice session takes half an hour.
If he cultivates on his own, he can do it a maximum of six times a day, and the placement bar can do it forty-eight times. He also doesn't need to worry about the strange forces of heaven and earth that only appear at specific times.
Only by repeatedly absorbing energy can one achieve several times the efficiency of the original body.
"This technique is a bit troublesome."
Let's try another one...
[Placement slot 3: Frostmoon Wing]
"Frosty Moon Wings (0/100): Forty-eight training sessions a day, mastery can be achieved in ten years."
Second-tier superior escape technique, ten years.
This time was reduced by half compared to the Xuan Yin Hand of the same level, not because it was inferior, but because Wang Yu had become stronger.
The foundations for cultivating second-tier techniques are different for those in the Qi Refining stage and those in the Foundation Establishment stage, so how could the time spent cultivating second-tier techniques be the same?
Frost Moon Wing needs to absorb the energy of Frost Moon and open two more meridians on its back to control its magic. If it can be combined with the Cold Moon Pill from the formula, its cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds.
Wang Yu is different; even without these resources, it wouldn't affect his ability to learn.
"good."
Next, Wang Yu tried out all thirteen inheritances of the Soul Sound Dual Path and the Cold Blood Peak inheritance he had acquired the day before before making a decision.
"My tenure in the Enforcement Hall won't be long. Once Zuo Qiuming and his team find a suitable place, I can step down and leave. At most, it will be three to five years..."
He silently calculated that some inheritances that required a long time to be perfected could be developed slowly after he arrived at the destination.
Prioritize those that can be effective in the short term, especially those that demonstrate strength.
"Taiyin You Tong!"
Having made his decision, Wang Yu replaced the "Dragon Force" with the Ancient Soul Technique. If he could complete the process in the coming days, he would then use the Ancient Soul Technique to reach a progress level of 20 before exchanging it for the Frost Moon Wings.
After all, you can practice the cultivation techniques yourself, but you can't do the Frost Moon Wings. There are too many prerequisites for its cultivation, so it's more convenient to just use the placement bar to get started.
After resolving the placement issue, I created a sorting table to arrange the successor capabilities of each placement item according to requirements.
in this way.
While practicing with the newly acquired Heavenly Enlightenment Futon, he also actively studied the Ancient Soul Technique, hoping to comprehend a portion of it on his own.
Nothing happened that night.
The updates for the new volume have been slow these past few days.
Then the word count will be increased from 2,000 to 3,000, with three chapters and one additional chapter updated daily, all in the morning. There will be no updates at noon. The daily update volume will be around 12,000, which is quite a lot. The author needs to increase the average subscription data to get recommendations. Thank you!
The bonus chapters for monthly pass holders are still valid!
