Chapter 155 The Ghostly Realm's Lamenting Bamboo (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)
very good.
It seems that during this time, that Jiang Zhenchuan investigated him again, probably discovering the Third Young Master of the Rebellious Spirits behind him, which is why he agreed so readily.
This also proves that seeing Yan Ling was not only extremely important, but also extremely urgent.
After accepting the secret letter, Wang Yu left without saying a word.
As for whether the spiritual materials he extorted this time would offend Jiang Zhenchuan, he was truly not afraid. After reaching a contract with the Third Young Master of the Reverse Spirit Sect, he had three major Nascent Soul families behind him.
The undisputed top ruler of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect!
Even if he can only borrow a tiny bit of influence, it's enough to ensure that he won't be in trouble even if he offends the true master. Plus, smart people like to think about what to do and what to lose.
Before taking action against him, Jiang Zhenchuan would definitely consider whether the cost outweighs the reward. If it's just to vent his anger, he would never make a move.
So many things happened just from one trip.
Back at the Evil God's Hall of Law Enforcement, Wang Yu stroked Xue Yu with a headache.
Asking for third-tier spiritual materials is naturally for the purpose of refining the [Ghost Cry Flute]. With the assistance of matching magical artifacts, the several inheritances left by Master Yin Ya can be unleashed to their fullest potential.
Although the refining method is only at the Foundation Establishment level, it can leave a foundation for the magic weapon. If it is refined into a second-tier top-grade magic weapon, it may have the potential to be promoted to a third-tier magic treasure in the future.
That would have been a completely different story. He also had a piece of Tier 3 Earth Spirit Gold, about the size of a fingernail, which would have been perfect for refining together with it.
After considering how to use the resources at hand.
Wang Yu waited quietly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The spiritual materials he wanted were delivered to the Evil God's Enforcement Hall.
This item was sealed in a black sandalwood box that was about ten feet long.
The sealing spell was set up to prevent the loss of the spiritual material's essence. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Wang Yu had come into contact with a complete third-tier spiritual material.
I unconsciously rubbed my hands together, eagerly opening the box.
in.
A dark jade-colored bamboo, about one and a half meters long, lay there quietly, emanating a mournful howl like a ghost, and a layer of black spiritual light suddenly unfolded.
Like a ghostly realm, ghostly creatures formed from yin energy move within the spiritual light's range. They possess a certain degree of aggression and can shake the cultivator's soul.
Inside the box was also a jade plaque with the name of this treasure written on it.
"The bamboo that makes ghosts weep is a rare treasure of the third tier!"
"My darling!!!"
After confirming it, I put it away carefully. This thing can definitely be used as material for a natal magic weapon, but it's not quite right to use the Ghost Cry Flute as a natal item.
It's too early to think about the natal magic weapon for the Core Formation stage. It's better to make good use of it now and find a better one later.
Now that the items had arrived, he should fulfill his obligations. He patted Xueyu's bottom and put her into his spirit beast pouch.
Not long after.
The Tantai Medicinal Herb Garden comes into view.
Standing before the familiar bronze ring with the inverted bat head, Wang Yu stepped forward and took the initiative to ring it.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Fellow Daoist Tantai, Wang Yu has come to pay a visit."
The bronze ring with the animal head emitted a red light, scanning his entire body, and the door opened automatically.
The interior remains the same, but the medicinal herbs planted have been upgraded to a higher grade; the herbs planted on both sides of the front courtyard are no longer the lowest-grade Five Essence Herbs.
Instead, it was changed to a relatively common second-tier spiritual medicine called "Spirit Dew Flower". This flower has the effect of harmonizing the medicinal properties and is used in most pill formulas.
Its value is dozens of times that of the Five Essence Grass. It seems that Tantai Chan has been striving for a higher level in recent years, and she is much wealthier than when we first met.
Wind chime corridor.
Upon seeing her from afar, Wang Yu sensed her undisguised aura of cultivation level—the seventh level of Foundation Establishment! She had clearly reached the late stage of the realm, her progress was incredibly rapid.
Looking around, they did not see Yu Tangtang.
"Stop looking, she's not here. What do you want from me?"
Wang Yu smiled and handed over the envelope.
"This item was given to me by Jiang Zhenchuan, the victor of this year's Corpse Fighting Tournament at Tianshi Peak, to be passed on to your Yanling Zhenchuan."
Tantai Chan was puzzled for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.
"Secret message?"
"Yes, no one else can be present when you hand it over to her."
"I see."
She took the items without asking any questions, and her reaction was similar to what Wang Yu had guessed. However, the veil only covered the lower half of her face.
What Wang Yu saw was her two delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows gradually furrowing into a frown; she sensed that this task was not going to be easy.
Wang Yu then continued to emphasize this point.
"The sooner this is done, the better; delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances."
"etc."
Tantai Chan suddenly stood up. Her chest was obviously squeezed into a ball by the cloth, trying to reduce the size as much as possible. It looked like a normal size, small enough to be held in one hand.
Only by untying the restraints can we know what kind of giant jade rabbits they really are.
She truly deserves to be called a nanny!
Yu Tangtang's meals are too good.
Tantai Chan suddenly realized that she had followed Wang Yu's instructions last time because of her master's orders, so why should she help him this time? She had never liked Wang Yu, who knew her secret.
Moreover, Wang Yu was only at the Qi Refining stage last time, yet he acted extremely arrogantly. His domineering attitude was truly disgusting.
Rumors are circulating that he broke through the realm using the "Snatching the Foundation Technique".
With her potential gone, even if Yu Tangtang remembered their past relationship, she couldn't possibly have much power. In a short moment, a lot of things flashed through Tantai Chan's mind.
It seems that they went through careful consideration.
"Bang!"
The table was banged on, she said.
"You almost fooled me, why should I help you?"
Wang Yu was not surprised by the other party's reaction. He had worked in Tantai Chan's herb garden twice before, and both times the other party brought him great pressure and even fear.
The transaction with Yu Tangtang was a way of venting my emotions. At most, I directed Tantai Chan to break through the demonic barrier when she was weak, which was not offensive.
He spoke calmly and leisurely.
"Think about it, is this my business? I'm just a gofer. Think about how Yan Ling treats you."
"Are you really going to let down Your Highness Yanling because of that slight prejudice against me?"
At this moment, Tantai Chan finally tasted the flavor.
“My prince? There has only ever been one prince, and that is…”
"Yu Tangtang, right? I know her."
Wang Yu waved his hand, interrupting her act of professing loyalty to him: "Let's not talk about these empty words. Fellow Daoist Tantai, what do you think of the True Transmission's treatment of you?"
Wang Yu had inquired about it before coming.
Thanks to his previous arrangement, Yan Ling gained the support of a second-tier alchemist, and quickly gathered a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from Cold Blood Peak, along with support in terms of spiritual herbs and alchemy.
In just five years, he cultivated Tantai Chan's alchemy skills to the superior level, expending a great deal of effort and energy, all for the purpose of better utilizing superior cultivation pills to win people's hearts.
Furthermore, Tantai Chan's cultivation progressed rapidly because she benefited from resources from both sides.
Once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, their body and meridians can withstand longer and stronger spiritual energy erosion.
Therefore, the way to improve strength and speed of progress is not just through pills, but also through treasures like spiritual springs and cold pools.
Half a month's effort is equivalent to a hundred days of arduous practice.
Tantai Chan's help wasn't exactly a lifesaver, but it wasn't a useless addition either. Instead, she saved Yan Ling a lot of time that would otherwise have been wasted arguing, allowing her to reach the top of the Cold Blood True Disciple in the shortest amount of time!
For a genius like Yan Ling with a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root, time is often the most precious thing.
Therefore, she received a very good treatment from Yan Ling.
Wang Yu's actions were nothing more than stirring up Tantai Chan's deepest, most genuine desire: freedom! To break free from Yu Tangtang's control!
The word "human slave" is like a mountain, but isn't it also another kind of spiritual slave? She must have seen the possibility of breaking free from her bondage in Yan Ling.
That's why Wang Yu addressed the other person as "your master," which was also a subtle hint.
It seems that Tantai Chan has figured it out now.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.
She sighed, "So, when you wanted to join the slave-catching team, you knew exactly what I was thinking. Aren't you afraid Tangtang will find out?"
She might not have any ill intentions towards Yu Tangtang, after all, she was the baby she raised herself, but she absolutely hated being controlled by her father, the "Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon"!
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
He never imagined things would turn out this way. Back then, he was simply using every available opportunity to achieve his goals, and he's doing the same thing now.
"Of course, why not kill two birds with one stone? I didn't expect to need your help so soon."
Wang readily admitted to his 'conspiracy'.
"Besides this matter, I need you to refine a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for me. Here is 30,000 spirit stones. We will conduct a normal transaction."
"..."
Tantai Chan paused, somewhat unsure of Wang Yu's intentions. If he had been direct and to the point, she would have refused. However, after their conversation, she felt a sense of gratitude.
What an evil demon!
Seeing the other person remain silent, Wang Yu suddenly moved closer, his voice low and soft.
“Once Yan Lingzhen’s disciple breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can negotiate with the Demon Lord of the Sect. You have a great chance to achieve your goals. I will help you, and you will help me. We are not enemies.”
Upon hearing this, Tantai Chan finally nodded and accepted the task.
"Come to me for the pills in a month."
Thank you.
Having achieved his goal, Wang Yu lost interest in continuing the conversation. Tantai Chan was quite powerful, and her alchemy skills were also quite profound. Moreover, the network of relationships behind her was intricate and complex.
Her personal network of contacts was also something Wang Yu could utilize.
This is a rare opportunity. Having broken free from stereotypes, the two will have a close working relationship from now on, which is much better than Zhao Shang's situation of being outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.
Befriending Tantai Chan will definitely bring more benefits than harm.
"Then I'll take my leave. If Sister Tang encounters any trouble, please let me know. I'll definitely help you if I can."
"I see."
She watched Wang Yu's figure leave with a complicated expression, rubbing her chest uneasyly. Seeing that the water had soaked through her clothes again, her wavering thoughts suddenly became firm.
She loathed these things, especially after they were modified by secret methods back then, which caused certain side effects. These side effects were a lingering nightmare and a scar that she could never get rid of.
"This is my only chance to change my fate, and I hope I won't make the wrong bet."
If we fail, death is the only option.
