Chapter 34 The Possibility of Spiritual Root Mutation (Please read on, please vote!)
All things considered, Wang Yu has been cultivating for less than two years, yet his progress is already faster than that of a three-elemental-root cultivator, and he is racing on the path to immortality at a speed comparable to that of a two-elemental-root cultivator.
However, Wang Yu is going to rethink how to use the three placement slots.
The benefits of perfecting the cultivation technique were so great that they were enough to make him change his original plans.
After a little thought, a new solution was developed.
[Placement Slot 1: Frostblood Technique]
[Placement slot 2: Frostblood Technique]
[Placement slot 3: Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique (Incomplete)]
The reason he originally kept the "Cold Blood Pill Recipe" was because he didn't have any money and planned to refine the pills himself to aid his cultivation, since the price was too high.
Furthermore, the placement of items is becoming less and less effective, so it would be better to replace them with pills.
Now that his cultivation technique is complete and his aptitude has increased by half, the boost to him is too great. Therefore, restarting the placement bar is more cost-effective for him than taking pills.
"At this rate, he can break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in three and a half years."
good.
As for the placement of alchemy techniques, it not only represents a skill, but also signifies the training of Wang Yu's spiritual consciousness and the effects that will occur when refining top-grade Cold Blood Pills in the future.
Having personally experienced the effects of superior-grade pills, he naturally became greedy and wanted to try the extraordinary effects of top-grade pills.
On the other hand, most of the value of this alchemy technique lies in that special "Frost Dragon Pill," which can condense a special "Frost Flame Seed" that can grow alongside the cultivator.
Its core material, at the very least, requires a second-tier cold attribute, specifically the demon core of a python-type monster. Since this is currently a long way off, there's no rush to acquire it.
At the latest, the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique will be perfected in three and a half months.
When the spot becomes available, Wang Yu has two options.
First, he could continue to enhance his aptitude along the path of spiritual root mutation, and the only potentially effective method he possessed was the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique]!
He had possessed this secret technique for some time, but due to numerous side effects, he had always been somewhat hesitant and cautious.
However, according to the description of the secret technique, both "Heavenly Yin Blood" and "Corpse Demon Bone" are special physical secret techniques that could potentially enhance his aptitude.
Secondly, continue to accumulate pills, and cultivate all three types—Cold Blood Pill, Myriad Wonders Pill, and Cold Dragon Pill—to perfection, using spirit stones to boost cultivation. The risks on this path come from the outside world, and there is a risk of death.
The risk of the first path comes from the secret technique itself, and it is very likely to induce his spiritual root to mutate completely!
It's a mixed bag, I'd say.
Wang Yu decided to wait another three and a half months until his alchemy skills were perfected and he could confirm that the [Placement Item] had the effect of completing the secret techniques.
At that time, when he uses the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique], he will no longer have to worry about being affected by the terrifying side effects such as "body like an ancient corpse", "inability to perform sexual function", and "lack of emotion and desire".
He was absolutely certain that the complete secret method would not have these side effects!

The next day.
Babaozhai.
It has been almost four months since the cooperation with Zhao Shang began, and a total of three transactions have been carried out so far. This is the fourth transaction.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After a hearty meal, the transaction was conducted using storage bags. Zhao Shang pointed to the pills inside and nodded.
"We're making a decent profit; we're planning to scale up when."
"Just a little?"
Wang Yu looked at the man surnamed Zhao with a half-smile. He only charged the market price, but when he returned the pills to Zhou Tao and the other two, he gave them the bulk purchase price. As far as he knew, the pills sold to Bingxuelou were nearly 30% more expensive than the market price.
The members of the Alchemist Society are recorded in the Ice and Snow Pavilion's records as alchemy masters, geniuses who are destined to become second-tier alchemists in the future, and are potential stars. The high price they are paying now is for future recruitment.
I wonder what Su Zhenchuan would think if he saw these records with his own eyes.
"I'm serious, you've earned this much money during this period, haven't you?"
Zhao Shang held up a two.
Wang Yu remained expressionless, neither confirming nor denying, but his calculations were incredibly accurate. Two thousand spirit stones in four months was a considerable sum, even representing the benefits he had squeezed from both sides.
The alchemists' association received more, but when averaged out, it was only about 1,300 per person.
This refers to the net profit after deducting costs, which is absolutely exorbitant. Wang Yu obtained this profit simply by using the enforcement token; it was practically obtained through empty talk.
Naturally satisfied, Zhao Shang felt unsatisfied as long as he had a goal.
Wang Yu couldn't help but warn him.
"Taking spirit stones from the Ice and Snow Pavilion is certainly tempting, but you're betraying your own people. You need to be discreet in your actions to ensure a steady and sustainable income."
"So, you're saying you're leaving the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect just because you got the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Zhao Shang remained silent. Wang Yu was taken aback, not expecting him to be right. He thought for a moment.
Indeed, this isn't the first time Zhao Shang has betrayed his own side; he's probably left quite a few traces. Even if he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he still risks being purged by Su Zhenchuan.
"Found a new job? If there's potential, how about I join in?"
Zhao Shang remained silent for a moment before awkwardly laughing.
"How could that be? The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect treats me like a son, and Master Su is like my own brother. How could I have such thoughts? Brother Wang must have misunderstood."
"hehe---
"what ever."
Wang Yu spread his hands in a helpless gesture, but more thoughts were forming in his mind. Rome wasn't built in a day, and Zhao Shang's idea had definitely been brewing for a while. He could keep an eye on him in the future.
Having this backup plan might come in handy in the future.
After the two parted ways, Wang Yu met with the three members of the society and divided the spirit stones among themselves.
Luo Pinghu has already repaid the loan. Currently, Wang Yu has accumulated more than 2,400 spirit stones, but his contribution points have not increased and are still only a little over 100.
According to his original plan, he would use the money to buy a high-grade magic weapon to improve his combat power, which would be enough for him until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It was a worthwhile investment.
However, the quality of the magical artifacts released by the Reverse Blood Ten Workshops was very worrying. Almost all of them were second-hand, and some were even less powerful than the Ice Sword Technique.
Therefore, the best solution is to go to the weapon-refining hall to customize a magical artifact.
on the other hand.
After mastering the Frost Blood Technique, Ice Sword Technique, and Ice Shield Technique, Wang Yu vaguely felt that his comprehension had improved.
This improvement isn't due to taking some kind of magic pill, but rather a reaction brought about by an broadened perspective. It's like a primary school student and a high school senior learning a foreign language at the same time; the latter will inevitably progress much faster.
His spiritual practice has become more mature. Whether it's drawing inferences from one instance to another or gaining a broader perspective, the feedback in reality is that he feels his understanding has improved.
Furthermore, I have a feeling that mastering more perfect spells before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will be beneficial to my cultivation and my future.
This kind of sudden, impulsive realization is mysterious and profound.
This made Wang Yu want to invest the spirit stones in magic techniques rather than in high-grade magic artifacts that would eventually become obsolete.
Spirit stones cannot be exchanged for spells from the Scripture Hall, which only recognizes contribution points. However, they can be exchanged from true lineage forces like the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
