Chapter 288 Cold Blood Faction, Glazed Ice Heart Tower, Feng Shui Compass
There are three factions in Cold Blood Peak.
There are a total of four Nascent Soul cultivators: two in the late stage, one in the middle stage, and one in the early stage. This is the source of Cold Blood Peak's strength in becoming the third peak.
[Heavenly Frost Demon Lord], [Frostblood Mountain Lord], [Ice Soul Fairy], [Blue Heart Elder]!
The Zuoqiu and Zhuo families were always together, making them Wang Yu's backers and the largest faction within Hanxue Peak. In the coming days, he would need to visit them one by one to at least get to know them properly.
Ice Soul Fairy and Blue Heart Elder are the leaders of this faction. Both are late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. The former comes from the Zuoqiu Clan, and the latter comes from the Zhuo Clan.
The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture is also a cultivation technique that the Ice Soul Fairy once practiced, or rather, this inheritance, as well as the corresponding fourth-tier inheritance that goes even further, all originated from her!
The Lord of Cold Blood Mountain is the head of the master-disciple lineage, with a cultivation level of the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. He is also Yan Ling's master and backer.
There is also competition within the master-disciple lineage. According to what Tantai Chan said, Yan Ling has not yet gained the approval of everyone in the master-disciple faction.
Some people are urging the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain to take on more disciples.
Xueying's name was prominently listed, but she was actually a member of a family faction and had a very good personal relationship with Yan Ling, like sisters.
This was also the reason those people instigated it. Yan Ling found it difficult to oppose or stop it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to remain friends with Xue Ying.
After all, this is a path to a better future, and there's no reason to stop it.
Family factions and master-disciple factions are the main groups fighting within Cold Blood Peak.
Logically speaking, both Zuoqiu and Zhuo are members of family factions, but their strength is so great that they have become somewhat detached from the world.
This is how the three factions split up. They were more like arbitrators than competitors. Yan Ling's attempt to win over Wang Yu was tantamount to winning over the "referee" behind him.
It should be noted that the two patriarchs on Cold Blood Peak do not represent the entirety of the Zuoqiu and Zhuo clans' power; there are also Nascent Soul cultivators on other peaks to varying degrees.
Among them are many powerful cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.
It can be said that in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, apart from the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Blood Peak, the Zuoqiu, Zhuo, and Yu families have the loudest voices and the most power!
[Heavenly Frost Demon Lord] is the leader of the family faction, with four families under his command: Xue, Chu, Qiao, and Ji. He comes from the Ji family and his cultivation level is as high as the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
All four families have produced Nascent Soul Ancestors, but now only the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord remains. However, because he focuses more on his own cultivation, his faction is gradually declining.
Both factions had designs on Wang Yu as a candidate elder, but if they cooperated with Yan Ling, only the family faction remained.
Having obtained the information from Tantai Chan, the situation at Cold Blood Peak became clear, and he had a good understanding of the situation.
Currently, among the twelve elders of the Cold Blood Clan, the Zuoqiu and Zhuo clans occupy seven seats, the master-disciple faction occupies three seats, and the family faction occupies only two seats.
In the future, Wang Yu may challenge for the position of one of the twelve elders.
Most of them will be selected from the Zhuo family's seats, but he felt that he would not need them. If he cultivated to the peak of the Core Formation stage, he would definitely condense his Nascent Soul stage immediately. Why would he care about the seats?
Zhuo Shouqing clearly knew what he was thinking. Arranging a candidate for a professional title was actually a way to reduce his troubles and give him a chance to resolve potential problems all at once.
This can't be rushed.
Just as she was pondering, Tantai Chan suddenly spoke up.
"Elder Wang Yu, the matter you and Tangtang discussed will not go too smoothly."
"Oh, how so?"
"The Three-Eyed Demon Dragon is quite kind to those it approves of, but it is extremely cruel to everyone and everything else. It will never listen to anyone's opinion. If Tangtang were to speak for herself..."
The result is self-evident.
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, seeing that Tantai Chan looked very experienced, and couldn't help but say:
"You mean, the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon prefers to capture me to refine pills, without paying me?"
"Yes! If you want to negotiate with him, you'd better offer one or two third-tier spirit pills that are effective against Yu Tangtang. That way, you'll have leverage."
"He doted on his daughter Tangtang, never letting her suffer any injustice. He was even once..."
As she was speaking, Tantai Chan suddenly stopped, clearly knowing that there were things that would embarrass a Nascent Soul cultivator and that she absolutely could not reveal.
Wang Yu could roughly guess what she wanted to say, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I will consider your suggestion. The Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon won't attack me."
The reason... is naturally Lei Junling.
Its value lies here: aside from the matter of asking Lei Houjun for help, its true significance is being able to borrow the coattails of a powerful cultivator.
Otherwise, the old man Xuanyan wouldn't have harbored resentment towards him. Theoretically speaking, the Thunder Spirit Corpse had already been given to the old man Xuanyan, so Wang Yu's ability to obtain the Thunder Lord's Token was truly a stroke of luck.
On the other hand, Lei Houjun is a very loyal and righteous person.
Perhaps they suspected there was something hidden behind it, perhaps it was out of respect for Zuoqiu Shi, or perhaps they simply liked him—any of these are possible.
In conclusion.
He had a fairly good impression of Lei Houjun.
After saying this, Tantai Chan realized that her value had come to an end. Seeing that the other party seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps she could try to make some requests?
She had never mistreated Wang Yu when he was in her herb garden.
However, her subsequent interactions with Yu Tangtang made her unhappy, which is why she dismissed Wang Yu and prevented him from coming again, and she did not attempt to kill him to cover it up.
Actually, it was her pride that was getting in the way. She and Yu Tangtang had a slave contract that no one else knew about, which she had been forced to sign by the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon.
She was very wary of outsiders noticing anything amiss. Thinking of this, she unconsciously touched her chest, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, and carefully said:
"Elder Wang, Tantai Chan'er, may I learn alchemy from you?"
"Learn alchemy?"
The number of alchemy masters in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is very small, and the higher the realm, the rarer they are. On the contrary, there are plenty of second-level alchemists, which is a common phenomenon in Chi Yuan.
Just now, she provided a wealth of information.
There are many secrets that are difficult for outsiders to find out, so it is reasonable and not excessive to make this request.
It was just a few words of advice, and I was about to agree when...
Seeing that he remained silent, Tantai Chan gritted her teeth and moved closer.
She gently tugged at his sleeve, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her body exuded a milky fragrance that even aromatherapy couldn't mask... causing Xiao Wangyu to involuntarily shudder.
What was he thinking about just now?
Yes, the guidance of a third-level alchemy master is invaluable; she must pay the price!
He is neither a virtuous gentleman nor a promiscuous person.
Tantai Chan was the first beautiful woman he had ever seen in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and he had never failed to fantasize about her.
At that time.
With his right hand around her slender, soft waist, Wang Yu lowered his head and buried his face in her neck, taking a deep breath. Sure enough, the milky fragrance was irresistible.
As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold are not as valuable as four ounces of gold in one's heart!
Wang Yu felt it should be sixteen taels.

The next day.
As dawn breaks, the snow-covered peaks of Hanxue Peak, perpetually blanketed in white, are shaken off from the ravines as the sun rises in the east.
The warmth of the sun melted some of the ice and snow into babbling brooks, flowing down the snow and leaving distinct trails.
As the sun rose higher, thick clouds obscured it, and the thawed stream froze over again, leaving only a pristine white expanse.
On the soft couch.
Wang Yu struggled to sit up from the covers and saw Tantai Chan resting peacefully beside him, which made his mouth water.
Since the Corpse Demon Secret Technique was restored to the third level, all aspects of his physical sensations returned to their original state, making this his most enjoyable relaxation.
It's really comfortable.
Moreover, Tantai Chan has an extremely rare characteristic: she has cultivated a special body modification technique, which is quite unique.
The feeling that comes with identity is further amplified by this kind of impact.
I sat there for a while, savoring the experience.
Wang Yu then got up and prepared to work hard. He specifically asked Yu Tangtang to come back in a month so that he could take advantage of this time to refine the Glazed Ice Heart Tower first.
The earlier your natal magic weapon is born, the more magical power it will receive, so it naturally needs to be created as soon as possible.
The training room.
It was extremely safe on Cold Blood Peak, and Wang Yu could also use the Elder Ice Crown to borrow some of the power of the peak's grand formation, in addition to the sub-formations set up in the cave.
Now that Bi Guiling is much safer, she no longer needs to hide and can enjoy her luxurious training room in peace.
Because of the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array for cultivation, its effect is no less than that of a third-tier Essence Chamber. After possessing a Heavenly Spirit Root, the effect of this array is no longer useless.
When paired with the Mystic Ice Bed, it can produce excellent results.
This made Wang Yu feel that condensing two strands of magical power in a day of cultivation was no longer a fantasy, but a very likely goal to achieve.
After the cultivation, various kinds of equipment were taken out.
Among them, [Lapis Lazuli] and [Black Copper] are the most important, while the rest, such as Millennium Ice Marrow Jade, Cold Moon Pearl, Snow Mountain Mysterious Heavy Iron, Ice Soul Stone, and Qi from the Four Directions and Four Seas, are mainly used for auxiliary purposes.
In the past month or so, I have already mastered the basics of the Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture.
The newly transformed Ice Soul Magic Power is a hundred times stronger than the previous Yin Cold True Essence, far surpassing it in quality, mystery, and coldness.
Wang Yu opened his mouth again and spat out the Ice Dragon Flame. This flame could be used to refine pills and weapons. However, after breaking through to the Core Formation stage, Wang Yu also possessed two new realms of divine power.
—Samadhi Fire!
—The Golden Elixir is indestructible!
The former refers to the convergence of the sovereign fire of the heart, the ministerial fire of the kidneys, and the people's fire of the bladder; this is the Samadhi of the True Man.
It has remarkable effects in both alchemy and weapon crafting.
The latter is similar to the Vajra Body, one governing Qi and the other governing Jing, both emphasizing the preservation of life.
Wang Yu used the advanced divine sense techniques of the Heavenly Soul Sect.
Multitasking.
With the Ice Dragon Flame in his left hand coordinating with the internal energy cultivation technique, he began to refine the Glazed Ice Heart Tower.
With his right hand, he used the Samadhi True Fire to melt the black copper and began to shape a small array plate. Eight streams of Qi, four yellow and four blue, rotated around the black copper, representing the Qi of the four directions and four seas, which he had collected for some time.
Now it's the perfect time to refine it all in one go!
