Chapter 313 Rejecting the Blood Abyss's Invitation to Exploitation (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions!)
After all that, we've finally gotten to the point.
However, Wang Yu didn't have much need for alchemy inheritance. There was no alchemy inheritance more suitable for him than the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique. He couldn't possibly give up the chance to increase the effect of ice-attribute spiritual pills by 50%.
Starting from scratch to cultivate another alchemy technique would take too much time.
Moreover, the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique has been fully restored, and with the help of the deduction effect in the placement slot, it can be upgraded to a fourth-order perfect alchemy technique.
He must have been a Nascent Soul cultivator back then. At that time, a fifth-order alchemy inheritance was impossible. Wouldn't it have been easy for him to obtain a fourth-order alchemy technique?
He thought this to himself, but he couldn't say it aloud.
Wang Yu's silence led the three members of Chi Xin to believe that this was a sign that he was interested, and they couldn't wait to speak.
"What does Fellow Daoist Wang think?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu did not refuse directly, but said...
"What about the obligations of joining the Alchemy Hall? There can't be only benefits, right?"
"Of course, there are obligations."
Elder Chixin breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost thought they were going to fail, but now it seemed that no one could refuse such a profound inheritance!
That's right.
"The obligations of the Alchemy Hall are both simple and difficult. The main task is to complete the alchemy tasks assigned by the higher authorities each year, and then take 30% of the profits as operating funds for the Alchemy Hall."
Seeing Elder Chixin's confident demeanor, Wang Yu almost couldn't resist slapping him.
What a piece of bullshit exploitative contract.
The 30% channel fee means that he cannot choose the spiritual items he wants as compensation; 99% is still spirit stones, which makes it easier to calculate the profit sharing.
He already has tens of millions of spirit stones, including quite a few high-grade ones. He already lacks high-end consumption channels, so why are you giving me this?
Wang Yu completely disregarded it.
On the other hand, completing the assigned alchemy tasks each year seems like a good condition, solving many problems for alchemists, but if targeted by the Alchemy Hall...
It can drain all your time.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
"Does joining the Alchemy Hall require signing a contract?"
Elder Chixin was overjoyed.
“That’s natural. Otherwise, neither the alchemists in the hall nor those who joined would feel at ease. This is the Styx Contract. Fellow Daoist Wang Yu can take a look.”
Upon discovering that the timeframe written above was three hundred years, Wang Yu's expression turned completely cold, and a chilly wind instantly blew into the reception room.
"Do the three of you think Wang Yu is a fool?"
"--roll!!"
Shivering from the cold, he was then tossed out of Wang Yu's cave like trash by the suddenly activated protective array.
Chixin, Qingsong, and Ziyun immediately turned red in the face and began to pant heavily.
Utter disgrace!
With their status as third-tier alchemists, they were always treated with utmost courtesy wherever they went. They never imagined that Wang Yu would turn on them so easily.
Outside the array barrier, Qingsong said indignantly.
"This is outrageous! This brat is so arrogant, he must be punished!"
Ziyun chimed in.
"Brother Qingsong is right."
"It's been so many years since the Holy Sect has had such an arrogant person. We must teach him a lesson, otherwise, wouldn't our fellow disciples mistakenly think that our Alchemy Hall is incompetent?"
To their surprise, Chi Xin, the leader, remained silent, and as they wondered what he was thinking, his angry shouts gradually subsided.
The two exchanged a glance: What's going on?
Chi Xin, however, was thinking that the power struggle at the top was indeed not something he could easily participate in.
Not long ago, the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon visited the Alchemy Hall Master.
What exactly they talked about is unknown, but after that day, Wang Yu, who was the subject of much discussion in the hall, became a taboo topic.
He guessed that the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon was likely behind Wang Yu.
However... the head of the alchemy hall is also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and also a fourth-grade high-quality alchemist. Within the sect, his influence is greater than that of many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!
So he took the initiative to come over and test Wang Yu.
Yes, he came without permission.
Unexpectedly, the other party, despite being young, saw through the loopholes in the contract at a glance and ruthlessly kicked them out.
Thinking of this, Chi Xin looked around with his divine sense.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that apart from the presence of a cultivator next door, there was no one else around.
"Stop talking. Since no one saw it, keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone."
"Well……"
"yes!"
He wanted to let it go and pretend it had happened, but little did he know that Wang Yu was not a magnanimous person and had driven the man away.
Taking a step back only makes me angrier.
He then recorded the situation and the terms of the contract into a jade slip containing his consciousness. He also used his authority as a candidate elder to have the Icewing Bird, a messenger beast kept by Cold Blood Peak, deliver the message for him.
He had already become the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon's personal alchemist, yet the other party was trying to poach him and even set a contract trap for him.
If he were the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon, he absolutely could not tolerate it!
After this matter was resolved, Wang Yu finally felt much better.
In any case, there are troubles related to alchemy.
It's highly likely that this will be the end of it. As long as he doesn't expand his business beyond Cold Blood Peak or specifically seek to gain benefits from the Alchemy Hall, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Continue to work on the Lesser Asura Killing Fist.
Since the last time he faced the special demonic derivative in the Burial Pit Secret Realm, the Asura Killing Intent had not been very effective and had even been defeated by the Prajna Heart Sutra, which left him somewhat displeased.
What he wanted was not a burst of power once or twice, but a steady and powerful sustained mental strength, perhaps to cultivate the Lesser Asura's killing intent to perfection.
The Asura's Killing Intent will likely evolve once more.
He wanted to completely eliminate the possibility of being affected by illusions and mental illusions again, because this ability was too deadly!
They became even more attentive when they tried to understand it.
…………
…………
One month later.
An unexpected person arrived at Coldblood Peak.
"Su Yulong!"
"Wang Yu, it's been a long time."
The newcomer had already broken through to the Core Formation stage, and even reached the second level of Core Formation. He stood at the entrance of the cave and bowed to him with his fists clasped. While Wang Yu was thinking, he opened the formation.
The other person walked in leisurely and smiled.
"I knew you were destined for greatness, but I didn't expect you to grow so quickly. Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation?"
This concerned expression made Wang Yu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He had no grudge against Su Yulong; in fact, Su Yulong had been kind to him. If Su Yulong had come to him earlier and offered some help within his power, Wang Yu might have considered him a friend.
But coming here at this time, and saying such things.
It was truly disgusting. That condescending attitude, self-righteous words, and fake concern made Wang Yu very repulsed.
After a moment of silence, there was no indication that he would be invited in.
The two then stood on the snow and talked.
"Brother Su is no longer a true disciple, so why are you going to Cold Blood Peak to find me again?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yulong's eyes flashed with difficulty, feeling that Wang Yu was making a fool of him.
but.
His excellent manners made him very adept at controlling his emotions.
He feigned regret and said, "Over the years, I have often thought that if I had listened to your plan back then, perhaps things would not have come to this."
"Your Highness Yan Ling is exceptionally talented and will still ascend to this position. It has nothing to do with whether Brother Su listens to what I have to say."
"How could this be!"
Su Yulong said it was impossible, but he didn't delve into the topic. He only said that to get closer to Wang Yu.
As he spoke, he began to pour out his grievances again.
"If I hadn't been confined by the Duan family of Xiangshan back then, I would have found Brother Wang immediately. With your wisdom and talent, you would surely have been able to save me from this predicament."
Wang Yu crossed his arms and watched him perform quietly.
In just a few words, he gained a deeper understanding of Su Yulong, who seemed to be a typical family honoree.
Previously, he only thought that Wei Zhong had an extreme personality and was determined to fight to the death with Wei Zhong. Now, judging from his personality, he might look down on Wei Zhong's background.
For example, saying things like, "It's a disgrace for someone like Garbage to become a direct descendant of Cold Blood."
Wei Chong at least has a Foundation Establishment family behind him, but Yan Ling is a complete orphan. Su Yulong's appearance at this time can only mean something else, besides what happened with Zhuo Shouqing.
really.
After rambling on and on, he finally steered the conversation back on track, his eyes burning with intensity.
"Wang Yu, stay away from Zhuo Shouqing, he'll get you killed."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Su. There is no need for you to offer any advice on this matter."
"You have no idea how capable Zhuo Shouyun is, or how incompetent Zhuo Shouqing really is. If you choose the wrong path, you'll end up like me, Su, in the past..."
Wang Yu shook his head again; he didn't want to talk about the Styx Contract.
You are you, and he is him.
"If there is nothing else, please return. I am going to cultivate."
"--etc!"
Su Yulong and the Duan family of Xiangshan have both pledged allegiance to Zhuo Shouyun, a fact that has long been established. Since they are on opposite sides, there is nothing to discuss.
As for the favors shown to us back then.
Hmm... He decided not to report it. Integrity was a bottom line he never forgot to uphold, even while he was in Chi Yuan. But since the other party was behaving so disgustingly, his bottom line was also flexible.
Moving it down a bit temporarily is not a big deal.
As he turned to return to his cave, Su Yulong's words immediately made him stop.
"The Blood Abyss is about to open!"
——【Blood Abyss】!
The cultivation holy land of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is more effective for blood path cultivators, but it is also a holy land for cultivators of other paths to improve their cultivation.
Generally, it will be launched simultaneously with the end of the competition for the next generation of true disciples and the start of a new round of selection for true disciples.
It can both send a group of true disciples in and allow the Nine Peaks Elders to enter and seek opportunities.
The opening of the Blood Abyss seems to be similar to the selection of true disciples, occurring once every two hundred years.
That's not actually the case.
Because it is always open, this opening is actually opening the true gate to the Blood Abyss. There are also small doors, side doors, cracks and other passages that are always open.
It can accommodate one or two people sneaking in.
Wei Zhong and Zhao Shang were both taken in this way, and there has been no news of them since. The latter, in particular, has long been presumed dead.
The Blood Abyss Trial is also a tradition of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
There is an opportunity to form a Nascent Soul inside; any Core Formation cultivator under three hundred years old can enter.
In addition, a certain social status is also required.
As a candidate for the twelfth elder of Cold Blood Peak, he was qualified. Seeing Wang Yu stop, Su Yulong continued.
"Zhuo Shouyun will be waiting for you in the Blood Abyss. I will also go in, along with hundreds of the Blood Pavilion's prodigies. If you help Zhuo Shouqing again, you will surely die, unless you give up entering the Blood Abyss..."
Wang Yu did not answer. As the array's light barrier closed, he also disappeared. He had roughly figured out Su Yulong's purpose.
