Chapter 182 Two High-Grade Core Formation Spiritual Objects
"This is the ancient treasure that your Guan family obtained before?"
Guan Yingdong and Guan Yingxue both wore bitter expressions.
“Master, I tried to persuade the patriarch, but he seems to be possessed and refuses to give up no matter what.”
Wang Yu frowned. It was impossible to reason with a damned ghost, but the way the other party had been robbed was still beyond his expectations. What kind of twisted fate was this? It was deadly!
"Where are the Sand Monk and the Earth Puppet Demon who demanded this treasure?"
"They...don't want it anymore."
"You don't want it anymore?"
The Guan sisters were also completely bewildered. If these two Core Formation cultivators hadn't given up, the Guan family would have tied up and beaten the patriarch before throwing away this treasure.
Once the other party no longer wanted the item, and a sense of侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality) took hold, no one cared about the head of the household who desperately wanted the treasure.
This resulted in the creature resembling a demon.
At this moment, the second elder of the Guan family, who was maintaining the binding spell, said with a bitter face: "Due to the threat of two Core Formation experts, the Guan family has not been paying attention to the situation in Dongjijing recently."
"But... something big has happened over there too. I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that some kind of ancient artifact that can bewitch the mind is at work."
Having said that, a glimmer of light emerged from his fingertips, forming the shape of blood-red shackles, clearly a set with the shackles binding the limbs of the Guan family head.
Wang Yu: "..."
You guys are really something!
"So what do you mean now?"
After hesitating for a long time, the second elder of the Guan family finally spoke.
"Could we lock the patriarch up in the city lord's mansion for now? There's a third-order formation here... Our Guan family can't keep him under control forever."
"OK."
Wang Yu agreed after a brief thought, since it wasn't a big deal.
“I can leave him here, but I can’t guarantee his safety. If he goes berserk or something else goes wrong… then don’t blame me for considering the bigger picture.”
"I understand!"
The second elder of the Guan family nodded repeatedly and gave the twin sisters a look. Soon, only Wang Yu and the struggling Guan family head remained in the arena.
"What a pity."
Wang Yu shook his head, he wouldn't touch this thing at all. He manipulated the formation to extend the Vajra Chains, locking the Guan family head in a prison.
The city lord's mansion has such buildings, but their functions are very ordinary and nothing miraculous. What he regrets is that the things he can clearly see and easily use are not worth the expense of being destroyed.
He instructed the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard the ancestral hall, and then resumed his arrogant demeanor, paying no attention to anything outside the window and never stepping out of the mansion.
However, it only took a few days.
Then a new major event spread: a change occurred in the Eastern Capital, where a blood-red shadowy figure used blood lightning to ambush and kill three renowned Core Formation cultivators!
Dark demonic vines lurked in the ruins, using flesh and blood fruits as bait, and in one battle, they killed five Core Formation cultivators and thirty or forty Foundation Establishment cultivators.
There was a six-eyed corpse infant that was fifty or sixty meters tall. In one battle, it killed eight Core Formation cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Its ferocity was overwhelming, and its combat power almost surpassed that of the Core Formation level.
This is one of the deadly monsters lurking inside!
The reason he was able to be subdued was because he was unexpectedly bound by blood-red shackles, and was eventually killed by a Core Formation cultivator from the Yellow Springs Temple who extracted his soul.
Yes, people from Huangquan Temple have also appeared. It's like a restriction has been lifted. According to Yunmeng Pavilion, Hehuan Sect has also sent Core Formation cultivators.
With the addition of Jin Miaoshan sent by Jin Manlou and the Mingshan Sect protector from Chiyuan Antarctica, more and more forces are eyeing Dongjijing.
This already involved a dominant power, which made Wang Yu extremely fearful. Fortunately, he did not try to be greedy again.
This lavish feast is far from over.
…………
…………
Several months later.
"Lord of the City, Senior Jin Miaoshan has come to visit."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up; the treasure-delivering boy had arrived.
"Please come in quickly."
It had been a while since I'd seen Kim Myo-sun, and the sharpness between her brows had become much less pronounced. She now looked visibly tired, and her once bright and lively eyes had dimmed considerably.
The alluring and form-fitting gold robe she wore has been replaced this time with a loose, concealing black robe, which is no longer generous at all.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, a distinguished guest has arrived. I'm afraid you're not used to the tea here. I wonder..."
Kim Myo-sun rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"As soon as Miaoshan arrived, the city lord wanted to see her off, but he forgot that today's predicament is all thanks to you."
"What strange talk is this, fellow Daoist?" Wang Yu said unhappily.
“If you hadn’t been unable to control your subordinates, things wouldn’t be like this today. It’s not my fault, but yours.”
This time, Jin Miaoshan did not refute, and after a moment of silence, she took out the treasures one by one.
"The two top-grade Core Formation spiritual items I promised you are here. I have fulfilled all the terms of the contract."
Wang Yu didn't respond, but instead began to examine his two treasures.
Superior Core Formation Spiritual Item: Lava Core Fruit!
Top-grade elixir-forming spiritual object·Ten thousand-year-old tree heart!
As you can guess from the name, this is a Core Formation spiritual item with fire and wood attributes, and it's no ordinary item.
Each item is worth more than two million spirit stones, and they are priceless; people are willing to go bankrupt to buy them even at a premium.
Wang Yu didn't care whether it corresponded to the attributes of his cultivation technique.
Fire and wood are both very popular elements. As long as you participate in a treasure exchange event of a high enough level, you can easily obtain a Core Formation spiritual item with Yin or Ice attributes.
This was much smoother than his path to the Qi Refining stage.
Jin Manlou was also one of his opportunities!
Seeing Wang Yu engrossed in the spiritual light of the treasure, Jin Miaoshan was speechless: "Here is also the 'One Pattern Condensing Essence Pill' you ordered. I brought it over for you on the way."
"Um?"
Wang Yu couldn't help but show a suspicious look, which immediately made the other party even more annoyed: "Have you forgotten the contents of the contract? Why pretend like this?"
Indeed, they signed a treaty promising not to harm each other for a century.
With everything written in black and white and witnessed by the River Styx, Jin Miaoshan could actually be considered his partner, having enjoyed the convenience of Jin Manlou during this period.
Asking Wang Yu to painstakingly search for the resources he needs is asking too much. It's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
Jin Manlou's status as a successor candidate is even higher than that of a true disciple of a Nascent Soul sect. Ignoring the fact that he swindled a large sum of money from him, he is actually a golden patron.
Once the hostility subsided, Wang Yu immediately began to reflect on his actions.
Resources are more important than face.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. I spent the first half of my life on the edge of danger. After suppressing myself for so long, I've become a bit suspicious."
At this moment.
Wang Yu offered tea, but Jin Miaoshan was too lazy to drink it.
"The city lord purchased a Qi Condensation Pill; is he about to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage? Judging from the stone tablet after the intelligence from the three parties was compiled, Dongjijing may have a Nascent Soul inheritance."
"If you can break through to the next realm, you may be able to go and compete with me."
Are you kidding me?!
The Nascent Soul stage is already the pinnacle of expertise in this world. Even Nascent Soul overlords crave this level of inheritance. If it exists in Dongjijing, it can only exist in the core area of the imperial city.
Right now, Core Formation cultivators are dying one after another outside. You want me to go?
Speaking of which, Jin Miaoshan possesses many magical treasures.
One of them was a concealment magic treasure that could hide from his divine sense, but he never knew what level this treasure was at.
Judging from her appearance, she was not only trying to seduce him, but also had her own intentions of going inside.
Wang Yu thought quickly and smiled.
“Fellow Daoist Jin may go if he wishes. I, Wang, am perfectly content staying in Guiling City. Besides, the ruins are right there. Why must we go now of all times?”
Jin Miaoshan was about to speak, but then suddenly stopped.
"hehe--
"The city lord is still trying to get information out of Miaoshan. It would be your loss if you didn't go. By the way... this is the corpse refining technique you wanted before, plus the pills, totaling 360,000."
Three hundred and sixty thousand...that's expensive!
However, if it is a third-order corpse refining technique, it is not so expensive. This kind of secret method that can create Core Formation combat power has always been a secret inheritance of major forces and is rarely passed on to rogue cultivators.
The jade slip given by Jin Miaoshan can only be used once, and it is also bound by an oath, so it cannot be passed on to anyone else; one can only comprehend it on one's own.
Looking at the characters above, the five large characters 【Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique】 were very eye-catching.
She said.
"I know your purpose in wanting this technique, but corpse refining is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires not only sufficient skill in the technique, but also extremely high requirements for the environment and resources."
"If you try to break into Dongjijing by relying on your third-tier corpse refinement, it will be too late by then. Miaoshan, farewell!"
Wang Yu didn't stop him. He wasn't in a hurry to cooperate, since he hadn't demonstrated his strength and the other party wouldn't cooperate with him.
Even a hundred years from now, there is a high possibility that a powerful figure will be sent to assassinate him.
However, the art of corpse refining is different from other spells.
This thing needs specific terrain, or rather, an extremely Yin formation in Feng Shui and Qimen Dunjia, to grow quickly and well, and it also needs various kinds of blood containing wondrous power as its material.
Simply practicing corpse refining techniques is indeed difficult, but he has a placement option.
Let's give it a try.
[Placement Slot 5: Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique (Tier 3)]
"Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique (0/100): 1,440 refining sessions per day, 50 years to complete."
"Whoa—"
This is another secret technique that can be refined every minute. Refining a corpse is normal. Just pour in Yin energy. With the power of the Plague, he has never seen a method that cannot be practiced.
Furthermore, a third-tier secret technique can be perfected in fifty years, which is already very fast for a Core Formation cultivator with a lifespan of up to eight hundred years.
There are many supernatural powers and secret techniques that one can never perfect in a lifetime.
His goal was not to create a peak third-tier demon corpse, but simply to refine a third-tier early-stage one.
The fact that the corpses were being refined while being placed there was as if divine intervention had been granted!
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu took out the Ancient Soul Technique first. It would take more than ten years to perfect this thing, so he had to deal with the urgent matter first.
When I break through my cultivation level next year, the Corpse Demon Secret Technique will also be perfected.
At that time, we can decide whether to continue supplementing or switch to corpse refining techniques; there will be a space to choose from.
"That's all for now."
He put the things away carefully. Since he had this idea about extremely yin places, he had naturally already sent people to search for them.
This kind of common feng shui formation is relatively easy to find, but Wang Yu cannot leave Guiling City, which greatly reduces the chances of finding a suitable place.
--but!
It can be artificially created. For other cultivators, the essence of the Taiyin Moon Essence is quite high, making it difficult to attract and gather with divine sense.
However, he possesses the Yin Eyes, which inherently gather the power of Yin, and he happened to come across it.
