Chapter 170 Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll
Having just returned from the Bai residence, he still had a large amount of assets waiting to be accounted for; it seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was very little.
Because the Bai family has more fixed assets.
For example, the large spiritual fields outside the city where "Blood Tooth Rice" is grown, the thousands of spiritual farmers under their command, the shops inside the city... these are the main attractions.
Whether or not they can be devoured depends on whether the remaining two entities in Guiling City cooperate.
On his way back to the main hall, he stopped by the training ground.
At this moment, a large group of teenagers were sitting here, with those who had better aptitude sitting in the front, and those who knew they would become spirit farmers in the future sitting at the very back.
The formation looked as if a small group of people were surrounded.
Wang Yu took a step forward and appeared in mid-air at the forefront, startling everyone who immediately shouted.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord!"
"Um."
Wang Yu looked at everyone and quickly scanned them with his divine sense. When he discovered that the person with dual spiritual roots had already broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, he immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"The City Lord's Mansion is built on a mid-grade third-tier spiritual vein. This may be the best cultivation environment you will ever encounter in your life, whether you become a city guard or a spiritual farmer."
"Everyone is serving my City Lord's Mansion, therefore no one is allowed to delay their cultivation. Anyone found doing so will be executed!"
Having just killed a group of people, Wang Yu's murderous aura had not yet subsided.
When said in such a threatening tone, it immediately made everyone tremble and almost wet themselves.
After thinking for a moment, he realized that he would need to go into seclusion for a few days and wouldn't have time to deal with these people's daily affairs and life problems, so he took out the list scroll from his storage bag.
Since recruiting this group of people, their backgrounds, parents, and pasts have been thoroughly investigated by the Jiang family, who have given them a huge first base booklet.
Now that it's being brought up again, it's naturally for assigning tasks.
"Xu Nianzhou and Wang Ling, you two will be in charge of managing the ordinary warehouse over there from now on. It contains gold, silver and jewelry, rice and grains for ordinary people."
"yes!"
“Ma Da, Yang Erlang… Kang Liuer, you will work in the kitchen from now on, responsible for preparing meals for everyone, and withdrawing money from the general storeroom on weekdays.”
"yes!"
Wang Yu made the arrangements in one go.
The positions of gatekeeper, manager, purchasing department, patrol team, cleaning team, etc., were all assigned. Those with power were basically all three spiritual roots, and whoever made the fastest progress in cultivation would get the position.
The menial tasks were left to the future Gin farmers.
This is just a preliminary arrangement and will be adjusted later. Xueyu will be in charge of supervising for a few days. Once the news of this incident spreads, there will be some capable rogue cultivators coming to join us.
He will be able to relax a lot when some of his powers are delegated.
Everything is getting back on track.
Thus, Wang Yu disappeared and returned to the main hall atop the 360 jade steps, where he began to take stock of the Bai family's wealth.
…………
…………
"A little over two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, was a portion of them taken away by the Bai family patriarch?"
Wang Yu leans back in a tatami chair.
Recalling what I saw in the Bai family's treasury earlier, a large part of it was empty. The second-tier spiritual objects were similar to those of the Tuoba family, but their foundation was clearly different.
They either divided it into multiple treasure troves or a portion was taken away by someone; they had some foresight about today's outcome.
perhaps?
Regarding third-tier spiritual items, two types were obtained.
【Soul-Breaking Blood Gold】and 【Earth Spirit Milk】, the former is produced south of Guiling City. After crossing the three thousand miles of reed marshes, it will pass through the largest black market in the Crimson Kite Demon Realm—【Yanluo Ghost Market】!
The Lord of the Ghost Market, known as "Yanluo Zhenjun," and his Daoist partner, "Yanfu Nujun," are both Nascent Soul stage cultivators, renowned for their power and prestige.
There are rumors that they have some connection with the Huangquan Temple.
Further south lies the [Dead Desert], one of the only two desert landscapes in this world, and the source of the Soul Blood Gold.
Legend has it that it was formed from the filth and souls left behind by countless corpses, and after thousands of years of wind and sand, it was finally born as a small piece of metal, a typical magical treasure.
It's the universal type, usable by most magical artifacts, making it a valuable commodity.
The Earth Spirit Milk is quite ordinary, a common item among third-tier spiritual items, which can immediately restore more than 80% of a Core Formation cultivator's mana.
It can also be refined into an elixir to maximize its effects, yielding approximately 15 drops.
Including all the gains made during this period.
Wang Yu's assets have ballooned to four third-tier spiritual items, hundreds of second-tier spiritual items, and 670,000 low-grade spirit stones. How long has it been? The Tuoba family and the Bai family have fed him into this state.
It truly is a fertile land, incredibly rich.
If he had stayed in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, he would have had a hard time accumulating so much wealth in his lifetime unless he had massacred a peak of Core Formation cultivators.
It really needs some time to digest this. As for the captured magical artifacts, Wang Yu selected a second-tier high-grade defensive artifact, which is also a cauldron, to replace the Earth Element Cauldron.
As for the thousands of first-tier magic artifacts and the dozen or so second-tier magic artifacts, he filled his warehouse with them, and then used them as high-level rewards when recruiting rogue cultivators.
That concludes the discussion on the physical aspects.
The collection of books is quite extensive, and a large part of the Bai family's rich heritage comes from the completeness of their inheritance.
The various cultivation techniques that their clan primarily practices are compatible with most spiritual root attributes and have all reached the second-tier high-grade level, which is sufficient to support their breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.
After some restrictions were broken, the inheritance was destroyed. He only managed to obtain the complete inheritance of three of them, which he planned to put into the city lord's library to train his subordinates.
Among them, he was most interested in an incomplete martial arts technique.
——【The Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll】!
This is a third-tier inheritance, complete with accompanying techniques, secret arts, pill formulas, and methods for crafting magical artifacts, etc.
However, some content may be missing.
The most frustrating thing is that its energy flow path is incomplete, which is simply suffocating.
Wang Yu didn't know if the placement bar could be fully deduced.
However, he primarily cultivates Yin and Ice attributes, while Wind and Thunder are too far removed from him and useless to him. The most valuable thing in this inheritance for him is a burst-type secret technique—[Wind and Thunder Spirit Pattern]!
As the most complete of the five elements spiritual roots, the wind and thunder mutated spiritual root is also a mutation based on the five elements, and theoretically it can be cultivated.
It will neither reduce the power nor increase the difficulty of cultivation.
The secret lies in absorbing the abundant wind and thunder energy in nature during thunderstorms and constructing a set of spiritual patterns on the body's surface.
Once activated, it greatly enhances the user's speed, and the attack is accompanied by devastating lightning, making it useful for both escaping and attacking.
It also provides some level of assistance in improving physical fitness.
The third-tier secret technique means that Wang Yu can continue to use it even after breaking through to the Core Formation stage. If it can be perfectly combined with his late-stage Foundation Establishment divine sense and his soul path inheritance, it will be even more powerful.
All aspects of his stats can definitely leap to the late Foundation Establishment stage, allowing him to truly establish himself in Guiling City instead of hiding in the city like a tortoise.
This is a must-learn, and we have to help it cut in line.
After organizing his storage bags, Wang Yu felt a little regretful. Even with all the high-grade storage bags he had, he felt they weren't enough. Above that, there were space rings, which were also storage treasures.
These are usually standard equipment for Core Formation cultivators. Even a basic spatial ring has a capacity equivalent to six football fields combined and pieced together; that's a real treasure.
Next.
Wang Yu touched his left arm, where only a few finely manipulated threads of true essence were keeping it from falling off.
Previously at the Bai residence, in order to break free from the golden ring's restraints, he had torn it off again, and afterwards he just haphazardly stuck it back on.
After some calculations, I decided to start with body refinement and foundation building.
It has broken several times, and once it was at risk of being scrapped. This time it was damaged by the aftershocks, and even the Corpse Demon's Secret Technique cannot save it.
"In the end, it was all for naught..."
Looking at the time required to complete the Corpse Demon Secret Technique in the placement bar, Wang Yu sighed helplessly. This was his trump card for survival when he was weak.
It's actually very similar to the present, except that the trump card has been changed to the Xuan Yin Hand at the perfect level.
They all possess destructive power far exceeding their cultivation level, but they lag far behind in other aspects. In terms of speed, defense, and recovery, they are inferior to those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and even significantly inferior.
Only extreme attacks and divine sense have a slight advantage.
Actually, it would have been best if he had obtained a third-tier armored corpse arm before coming here, as it would have perfectly connected with the time needed to complete the Corpse Demon Secret Technique. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take anything passed down by Jiang Zhen.
"Without a trump card of death energy, the ancestors of the Guan and Jiang families need to give them some face. Even if they have taken longevity treasures, they should pass away within ten years."
This is a dangerous period, but also a honeymoon period.
It all depends on how Wang Yu uses it.
The empty left arm made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, and his strength was also reduced, especially in terms of his body, where he felt very weak.
Make a hand seal with one hand.
The deep blue ice crystals, condensed from true essence, were quite transparent. Following the template of the right hand, Wang Yu temporarily created an ice arm that would not melt.
Wearing a long, wide-sleeved robe, bandaging it, and then putting on gloves, as long as one doesn't use their divine sense to probe or touch it at close range, no problem can be detected.
Even with arms made of ice, they remain flexible when moved.
Let's leave it at that for now.
I'm going into seclusion to heal my wounds!
…………
Five days later.
"Lord City Lord, those people are still waiting outside the gate today."
"I understand, you may leave."
"yes."
Apart from his left arm, Wang Yu's injuries have almost fully recovered, and it's time for him to see those people, especially the two family heads, Guan and Jiang.
The Bai family was wiped out overnight, and they were the most bewildered.
The longer the delay, the greater the pressure on him. He really should meet with them to dispel their idea. If he can't handle the pressure and suddenly explodes, then he's finished.
His divine sense traversed most of the city lord's mansion, reaching the very entrance.
"Enter."
Soon, the crowd arrived outside the main hall. In addition to the group of old acquaintances, there were four young men, only thirteen or fourteen years old, who had begun their cultivation ahead of time.
They are all promising talents at the first level of Qi Refining.
It must have been through some kind of special elixir of immortality that helped mortals come into contact with spiritual energy ahead of time. This was far more sophisticated than Wang Wu's method of forcing growth.
It won't affect the future; on the contrary, it will give you more time to cultivate than ordinary people, and your potential will naturally be greater.
"Lord Wang!"
As expected, the first to speak was Guan, the head of the Guan family, who was a fence-sitter.
