Chapter 178 Advancement of Alchemy Techniques
This incident will damage Wang's prestige to some extent, but that's only from the perspective of outsiders.
For the forces that have long lingered in the city, Lord Wang's ability to manipulate events at will is suffocating; who knows if he will suddenly reveal more trump cards?
It has a remarkable effect on consolidating alliances of interests.
Despite the crowd's many grievances, they remained at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels, and he could bear the backlash.
As for Core Formation, City Lord Wang's secret technique for searching mountains and finding demons is nearing completion. From now on, he will periodically sweep the city, and if there are Core Formation cultivators around, he will not leave the City Lord's Mansion.
"You must take responsibility."
Having just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the aftermath of this major matter, Jin Miaoshan was suddenly stopped by a single sentence from Wang Yu.
"What...what do you mean?"
"Literally, for your sake, I, Wang, will not be able to leave the City Lord's Mansion for a long time to come. All cultivation resources must be delivered to your door by Jinmanlou."
"this……"
"Of course, I will pay the spirit stones due."
Kim Myo-sun gritted her teeth. She couldn't remember how many times she had done this today; her teeth were itching terribly... she couldn't help it.
"I understand. This is Jinmanlou's VIP token, which grants me the same treatment as a Core Formation cultivator. Even if I leave Guiling Branch, the new head of the branch will still be able to do as I please."
Thank you.
Wang Yu took the token without any hesitation and shrugged.
"My spirit."
"...Give me a year."
"So long?"
"Do you think I'm a wishing star? That I can have whatever I want?"
"walk slowly."
Wang Yu stopped pressing the issue. He knew the difficulty involved; with the Styx Contract in place, it couldn't exceed ten years, otherwise it would be considered a breach of contract.
It's only a year; he can wait that long.
Seeing that everything was alright, the two stared at each other in silence for a long time before Jin Miaoshan finally asked.
"Did you think this through from the beginning?"
"How is that possible!"
Wang Yu remained silent.
"It was your subordinates who wouldn't let me leave. What could I do? A late-stage Core Formation cultivator wanted to kill me, and I wasn't allowed to run away? Fellow Daoist Jin, you're taking yourself too seriously."
"well--
"I see."
With a long sigh, Jin Miaoshan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly invited, "Brother Wang, would you like to explore Dongjijing with Miaoshan?"
"Um?"
Wang Yu was genuinely surprised this time. Even though the two had signed the Styx Contract, which prohibited them from harming each other by any means within a hundred years, this invitation was still too presumptuous.
Didn't you realize it?
"You'd better not go in. Go back quickly. Once word gets out about what happened today, you'll definitely be held accountable. Fellow Daoist Jin, you should think about how to get out of trouble."
"As for Tokyo... there are countless people waiting for you there~"
After saying that, Wang Yu walked towards the main hall of the city lord's mansion. He also took the corpse of the Core Formation elder who had been hanging there for a short while with him. Unfortunately, the storage ring on his hand was taken away by Jin Miaoshan.
Today's events ended rather abruptly, but for Yunling Prefecture, the Guiling Incident can be considered a textbook example, further aided by the auspicious "Eastern Capital Phenomenon"!
Without this link, it would be very difficult for Guang to start encouraging everyone, because they know they can't break in. But with a Core Formation cultivator, it's a completely different story.
The fact that it ended so narrowly was also due to the presence of Core Formation cultivators, who had a stronger sense of purpose and a better understanding of the true value of becoming a Nascent Soul Overlord.
Despite various factors, they ultimately backed down. There are many details that people find fascinating, and some even regard the words of the city lord as gospel.
I read it every day, trying to understand the meaning behind each character.
I've finished the reading comprehension section!
Of course, the matter in Guiling City is over, but Jin Manlou's troubles are far from over. Expecting the demonic cultivators to shut up is wishful thinking.
They only have their mouths left to babble, and they can't shut up at all. In fact, as the distance increases, their babbling will gradually become more outrageous.
In particular, a video was played over Guiling at the time, and some busybodies recorded it a second time and secretly sold it to Tianbaoge.
As expected, Tianbaoge spent a lot of money to acquire it, and then kept copying it, spreading the evidence of imaging and recording throughout the entire Chiyuan Demon Realm.
This greatly impacted Jinmanlou's business; never before had the two sides suffered such a significant defeat in their business dealings.
Then Wang Yu, together with Jin Miaoshan, recorded another set of videos.
He said that all of the previous claims were illusions, that someone was impersonating him, deliberately slandering Jin Manlou's image, and intending to incite conflict between the powerful figures behind the scenes.
Believe it or not, this conspiracy theory has a wider audience.
Jin Manlou also activated the high-level spies he had planted in Tianbaoge, and the same smear campaign images were also spread throughout the Chiyuan Demon Realm, which infuriated Tianbaoge.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, in the coming months and years, both sides will relentlessly expose each other's dirty secrets and smear each other to the bitter end.
These things.
It's temporarily unrelated to Wang Yu, but he was ultimately affected.
For example, at Tianbao Pavilion, he can forget about getting in with his real face.
"Since we have nothing else to do, let's continue cultivating. My disciple... go and buy some spiritual herbs for your master."
…………
…………
Three months later, in February of Wang Yu's 16th year as a deacon.
The first light of dawn.
The golden sunlight streamed through the window onto the shadows of people sitting cross-legged. Spring was gradually arriving, and the chill in the air was decreasing.
[Placement slot 3: Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique / Tier 2↑]
"Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique (0/100): Forty-eight refinings per day, perfected in one hundred and twenty years."
"120 years..."
Wang Yu's pupils contracted slightly. Thinking about it, it made sense. The next level up was the third-order perfect level of alchemy, which others couldn't even achieve within 120 years.
The higher the grade of a top-grade pill, the rarer it becomes, and the higher its added value. Sometimes, even an ordinary third-grade top-grade healing pill can help a third-grade alchemist refine their skills.
Alchemists who can refine top-grade third-tier pills can also easily refine fourth-tier pills for Nascent Soul cultivators; the grade might just be lower.
This level of skill is quite rare, and in the demonic path, which is not good at production, there are even fewer people with this skill.
The Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique is only a third-tier alchemy inheritance, and it is severely incomplete. Even with the completion of the inventory, it is impossible to create all of its alchemy formulas from scratch.
From beginning to end, Wang Yu filled in all the fire control techniques, refining methods, pill-forming techniques, and so on, quite smoothly.
Like an upgrade, the only accompanying item, the [Frosty Dragon Pill Recipe], has undergone significant changes, with the addition of several spiritual herbs that can enhance the pill-refining effect of the Frosty Flame.
It is especially effective against ice-attribute pills.
"Ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice, rare cold jade, third-tier demon core...tsk tsk, it's really not cheap."
Having a third-tier cold flame beforehand would be a trump card, no weaker than a perfected Xuan Yin Hand, since his Flame Form Technique is already at perfection.
Among these offensive techniques, fire is the most powerful.
Now that the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique had advanced, Wang Yu placed the [Ice Spirit Pill Formula] on it. As a second-tier cultivation pill, its placement time was much shorter than that of cultivation techniques and spells.
The content may be relatively short; it only takes one year to fully develop the Ice Spirit Pill.
Of course, even if this pill formula is not perfect, Wang Yu can still try to refine the top-grade Ice Spirit Pill, but the success rate remains to be seen.
A perfect alchemy technique and formula mean a 90% success rate. Even if only one formula is perfected, you can still try to refine it, it just costs more spirit stones.
What Wang has in abundance right now is spirit stones; he has over three million in reserves, which is more than enough.
He summoned his errand boy and tossed the VIP tokens of Jinmanlou to Jiang Li and Jiang Chuan, who were very amiable.
"Go ahead, have the elixir delivered to me from the building."
Jiang Li, Jiang Chuan: "..."
A teacher's orders are hard to disobey.
Since the family had informed them of the situation beforehand, their expectations for Wang Yu were actually quite low. The occasional guidance and elixirs he received were already quite generous.
Moreover, they can use the resources of the city lord's mansion to cultivate, which is no worse than that of the clan, and may even be better, because they have no competitors!
Over time, his cultivation level improved rapidly.
Estimating that he could advance to the late stage of Qi Refining within five years, Wang Yu looked at them and remembered something.
After Jin Manlou delivered ten sets of the spiritual herbs for refining the Ice Spirit Pill, Wang Yu called in the two sisters, Yingdong and Yingxue. All four disciples had grown up.
“In recent months, the associated mineral veins of the underground spiritual veins have almost recovered. You should go back to your families and inform the heads of the two families to come here.”
The spiritual vein is extremely important; the core of the city lord's mansion's formation is located within it. When mining spirit stones, Wang Yu will personally enter the spiritual vein to guard it and prevent any accidents from happening.
At most one year, the derived spirit stones will be mined down to a thin layer, and it will take another ten to twenty years for the recovery period to begin.
This kind of thing is best left to experienced people. His city lord's mansion is full of newcomers who are clumsy and prone to making mistakes. It's better to let the Guiling clan handle it.
After arranging this matter, continue to have Jin Manlou prepare more spiritual herbs for refining the Ice Spirit Pill. Since he is going into seclusion in the Spirit Vein Land, prepare more.
Then, they were commissioned to acquire the third-tier corpse refining technique.
The old man's body still retained considerable vitality and life force, so he sealed it in an ice coffin and placed it in the treasury of the city lord's mansion.
This stuff is a top-grade material for creating zombies.
Wang Yu had sold many corpses to Tian Shi Feng in the past, and now he wanted to keep this late-stage Core Formation corpse to refine into a helper.
As arranged, the three-tailed snow fox Xueyu is his battle partner at this stage. The two have the same attributes, are perfectly in sync, and can unleash tremendous power.
Unfortunately, the enemy he faced was rather formidable, and his Snow Jade realm was insufficient, so his cultivation could not progress rapidly.
I could refine a batch of top-grade Snow Fox Pills in seclusion, and also collect more pills for nurturing spirit beasts.
He refused to believe it, feeding Xueyu all sorts of top-grade pills in different ways, and he was sure he could improve Xueyu's strength.
This preparation.
In addition, it took Guan and Jiang a while to prepare experienced miners, so it took them almost a month and a half to finally gather enough manpower.
The city lord's mansion, underground.
The saying goes that heaven and earth have veins, but heavenly veins are rare and hard to find even after all time! Earth veins are common, including spiritual veins, dragon veins, and five-element veins, all of which are variations on the basis of earth veins.
Volcanic terrain has many fire veins, rivers, lakes and seas have many water veins, famous mountains and great rivers have many dragon veins, lush ancient forests have many wood veins, and places where gold and iron mines converge have many gold veins.
These five-element earth veins with clearly defined zodiac signs are often accompanied by multiple spiritual veins, and sometimes even give birth to treasures formed by the convergence of heaven and earth.
However, such treasures are mostly found within dragon veins.
