Chapter 152 The Elder Who Wanted to Sleep in the Spirit Spring and Cold Pool
early morning.
The Third Young Master of the Reverse Spirits rarely got up so early, and when he saw Wang Yu stretching his muscles in the courtyard, he clicked his tongue in praise.
"My fourth brother's perseverance is extraordinary; he has actually managed to overcome human laziness. His unwavering will is a model for us all!"
"..."
Wang Yu was forced to stop what he was doing, speechless.
That's such an awkward compliment.
Even with his thick skin, he couldn't take it anymore and took the initiative to say, "Do you three brothers have something to ask me?"
My older brother is long, my older brother is short.
He did it effortlessly, without feeling ashamed at all. In fact, the Third Young Master of the Reverse Spirit Sect was almost three times his age, both being over a hundred years old.
In the mortal world, let alone "brother," you'd have to call him "ancestor."
"Something good is coming your way."
Zuo Qiuming gracefully leaped over the corridor railing and walked up to Wang Yu.
"The conditions agreed upon yesterday have been fulfilled today. This is the 'Spiritual Spring Cold Pool Token' of Cold Blood Peak. As the name suggests, it allows you to enter the Cold Pool for free."
"It's valid for ten years, and Fourth Brother can go anytime. How about that—is that a good way to show our sincerity?"
Wang Yu took the token and sensed it with his divine sense. It even showed that the route had been planned.
This thing was originally used to train true disciples. It is said that the top ten in each Cold Blood Peak Inner Sect Competition will be rewarded with a lot of resources once they complete the true disciple trial mission.
This cold pool is one of them.
His "Cold Blood Ascension Technique" was already perfected, and his cultivation level had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The effect of the technique, which enhances cold attribute aptitude, can actually be activated.
Previously, it was inconvenient to cultivate and transform for a long time in the wild. After returning, his transaction with the Third Young Master of the Reverse Spirit made him hear about the effects of the Cold Pool, so he endured it.
When you plan to soak in the cold pool, stimulate the energy together; the combination of the two may produce unexpected surprises.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Ming. I am very satisfied."
"Haha~ I'm glad you're satisfied. There's one more thing." Zuo Qiuming patted Wang Yu's shoulder, and using his position to cover his eyes, secretly pointed at Yu Xing and whispered.
"Old Yu lent you the Heavenly Enlightenment Futon for five years. You have to return it to him when it expires. This thing is a sect asset, so it's being transferred out. How about fulfilling the promise of establishing a government office in the town in five years? So you don't have to run back and forth between the two places."
--Reasonable!
Wang Yu, of course, wouldn't argue over such a trivial matter, and laughed.
"Don't even mention five years, ten years is fine too. I need time to perfect my Foundation Establishment stage techniques and secret incantations. Even if you gave them to me now, I wouldn't be setting off anytime soon."
"That's good. That makes sense, but we still need to make things clear to avoid any misunderstandings between us brothers."
"Wang is not a person who is eager for quick success or has ulterior motives, so you can rest assured."
All four of them immediately broke into friendly smiles.
…………
…………
Three days after that day, Wang Yu finally contacted Gu Zhengshun, stating that he wanted to buy the left arm of a third-tier refined corpse, preferably an armored corpse or a divine power corpse, and that the price was negotiable.
In his reply, Gu Zhengshun expressed his difficulty and asked Wang Yu for a month to try to find out.
After all, a third-tier refined corpse, regardless of its type, is already among the strongest. Not only is it expensive, but it is also relatively rare, and it is very difficult to obtain without connections or channels.
His relationship with Gu Zhengshun was rather delicate, going from cooperation to enmity, then back to friendship, and after returning to the sect, it became a business relationship, with Gu helping Wang Yu to sell many of his gains.
This transaction was motivated by two desires: to obtain a third-tier corpse arm and to dispose of the large number of frozen corpses, spoils of war, and other items stored in his storage bag.
Although storage bags can hold a lot of things, time still passes inside them. Corpses will spoil if left out for too long, but freezing them can preserve them for a very long time.
The most important thing is to ensure that the spiritual energy and spiritual essence within the body are not dissipated; only then will such a corpse have value for recycling.
Busy but fulfilling.
At noon that day, Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged and trying to absorb the essence of the midday sun, suddenly had a flash of spiritual light from the spirit beast pouch at his waist, which was the Snow Jade Fox.
It has grown quite a bit, about the size of a Shiba Inu, with snow-white fur all over its body, and ice-blue markings on the tip of its tail, its ears, and its forehead, making it both cute and mysterious.
"Yo yo~"
After jumping out, it shouted at Wang Yuming a few times, and its aura began to grow wildly.
"breakthrough?"
Wang Yu was slightly surprised, but he did not stand still. Instead, he used the tips from the beast-taming techniques he had previously acquired to cast a series of ice-attribute spirit seals into the Snow Jade Fox's body.
Help it break through.
This is one of the orthodox training methods for beast tamers, which allows them to use the [Beast Taming Spirit Seal] and spiritual connection to assist each other in their training.
It is a relationship of life and death on the path of cultivation. They are both master and servant and blood relatives. Therefore, after the death of a cultivator of the Beast Taming Path, the spirit beasts they leave behind will often continue to help their descendants.
Of course, this is the normal situation; there are also unorthodox and evil methods of exploiting and controlling beasts.
With the help of Wang Yu's true essence, the bottleneck that was preventing Xue Yuhu from advancing was broken with almost no effort.
"Late stage of the first rank, which is equivalent to about the seventh level of Qi Refining. You've come at a good time."
Snow Jade Fox shook its head, revealing a joyful smile.
Although it couldn't understand what Wang Yu was saying, it could sense that Wang Yu was conveying the message that good things were coming soon.
She let out a soft cry and then snuggled into his arms.
"What a charming and adorable spirit beast! With you by my side, I don't have to worry about being too lonely. There's no time like the present, so I'll take you to see the Cold Pool today."
Having made a hasty decision, Wang Yu left the Evil God's Enforcement Hall and instructed several disciples to inform Zhuo Shouqing to take over, while he returned to Cold Blood Peak.
Although it wasn't my first time up the mountain, the concentration of spiritual energy, the magnificent scenery, and the extremely low temperature environment here still make it a blessed place for every ice-attribute cultivator to cultivate.
According to the rules, he must break through to the Core Formation stage before he is qualified to open a cave dwelling here, which is truly not easy.
"This way..."
After reaching Coldblood Peak, the route led him to a place he had never been before, a corner that gradually rose and receded into the distance.
soon.
An octagonal, transparent white stone palace came into view. It was not large in scale, and in the middle was a cold, icy blue pool covered with a thin layer of mist.
The surrounding area was desolate and deserted, like an abandoned wilderness.
Stop.
suddenly.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing a front-opening, narrow-sleeved, water-patterned shirt, with an ice silk robe over it. The figure had an old face and black and white hair.
His aura had clearly reached the Core Formation stage, and Wang Yu quickly paid his respects.
"This junior greets the elder."
"Stand up. Do you have a token?"
"have."
After handing over the token, the Core Formation Elder chuckled.
"So it was you who benefited from Zuo Qiuming. Do you know the miraculous effects of this Cold Pool?"
I know a little bit about it.
The Core Formation Elder shook his head and turned around.
"While the cold pond is beautiful, the favors of the Zuoqiu family are even more precious."
“If you give up now, I can negotiate with Zuo Qiuming on your behalf. If you insist on going in, you will inevitably be involved in the power struggle of the Nascent Soul family in the future, and the consequences... I don’t need to say more.”
Wang Yu frowned. This sudden obstacle, seemingly the guardian of the Cold Pool, must have misunderstood something.
Or perhaps what he imagined was completely different from the actual situation.
Is it because they believe Zuo Qiuming owes them a favor?
As for matters involving power transitions, he was mentally prepared. If there wasn't chaos, how could lower-level cultivators climb up?
"Elder, there's no need to say more. This junior will definitely enter Hanchi."
The Core Formation Elder remained silent upon hearing this, then spoke again.
"If you give up, I can give you three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, plus a second-tier high-grade spell. How about it?"
Ah, so that's what you were planning.
Wang Yu immediately understood their intentions. He couldn't help but glance at the token that the elder was holding tightly. What did they mean by thinking of you? They were just coveting the opportunity to be baptized in the cold pool.
He dared not offend Zuo Qiuming, so he could only try to persuade him to give up. How realistic!
The Cold Pool can enhance affinity with ice spiritual energy, which is equivalent to indirectly improving spiritual root aptitude, although it is not as comprehensive as spiritual root aptitude.
It is a treasure in itself, and its value is considerable.
Trying to exchange a Foundation Establishment spell for three thousand mid-grade spirit stones shows a lack of sincerity. Although Wang Yu was disgusted by his behavior, he did not want to completely alienate him.
He then cupped his hands in greeting.
"Senior, you want a spot for the Cold Pool Baptism, surely it's for the sake of your descendants?"
His scheme had been seen through, and he scoffed.
"So what if it is? Just say whether you agree or not. Have you heard of my name, 'Flying Snow Immortal'? You should know my reputation."
"hehe--"
The old man is putting on airs, what's with all this talk of flying snow and flying flowers? He's just a nobody. Wang Yu's expression turned assertive, and he said without any politeness:
"Elder Feixue, if you want it, go ask Zuoqiu Ming for it. If you think I'm easy to bully, why not just take it by force? You're so old and still running around for the sake of your descendants."
"Aren't you afraid of offending too many people and ending up childless in your old age?!"
"you--"
Elder Feixue was furious.
Judging from the remaining life force of the person, Wang Yu determined that the other party was at least seven or eight hundred years old.
Although he was in the late stage of Core Formation, he was only at the seventh level of cultivation. He had absolutely no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime, and even faced the problem of dying of old age.
Pushing aside the old man blocking his way, Wang Yu patted him on the shoulder, and a wisp of pure death energy accumulated over the years was subtly injected into Elder Feixue's body through physical contact.
With his lifespan already nearing its end, the aura of decline and decay emanating from him became even stronger. However, he himself had been in this state for a long time and had not noticed the wisp of death aura at all.
"Your days are numbered, why make enemies for your descendants?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yu walked towards the cold pool, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Death energy is one of the strongest methods to deal with the elderly, but he has never used this trump card, either because he has not met the right person or because he has not had the right opportunity.
Now that he has encountered it, it will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. He wouldn't normally go to such extremes, but... he, Wang, will never accept threats!
Behind him, Elder Feixue seemed to be trembling with anger, her body shaking a few times, but in the end she did not stop Wang Yu from entering the cold pool.
He didn't have the guts, nor did he dare to seize it by force.
He could only sigh dejectedly, feeling unusually tired today for some reason.
So tired... I really want to sleep.
