Chapter 36 [Ice Coffin Curse] [Phantom Step] (Please read on, please vote!)
He claims to possess two high-grade spells, and that once mastered, they rival Foundation Establishment spells. But such claims are just empty words; anyone who believes them is a fool.
Of the three perfected spells that Wang Yu has mastered, only the Night Concealment Spell is a high-grade spell; the rest are mid-grade. Mastering them to perfection has already greatly helped him.
If two more high-grade skills are added, the upper limit of combat power can be further increased, but the spiritual power cultivation will not be enough.
Regarding the placement slots, two are occupied by cultivation techniques year after year.
Before breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, there was a three-and-a-half-year gap period, which was the perfect time to put these techniques aside. He could take it slow; his plan was quite practical.
The current problem lies with Xu Jiaojiao. He needs to investigate more details, otherwise, if the enemy is in the dark while he is in the light, it will be difficult to deal with them.
There's also Su Qingshan, famous for his magical prowess, who's a big problem.
He could go to the Enforcement Hall and meet Zhuo Shouqing, then he would know everything. The price would be that he would have to act as an "informant," and he wouldn't be able to find anyone until there was another Xu's Pill Shop.
It can be considered a tacit understanding of collusion.
Alternatively, one could take on a mission from the Ice and Snow Pavilion, find a Foundation Establishment steward to serve, hide for a year or two, and once one's strength has improved further, one would naturally no longer need to be so cautious.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu decisively turned around.
Zhao Shang, who was doing the accounting, felt a jolt in his heart. When he saw Wang Yu's face again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Brother, is there anything else?"
"Find me a job that's easy and pays well, preferably similar to the herb garden maintenance job I did with Steward Tantai last time."
Zhao Shang instantly understood his thoughts: avoid trouble!
"Perfect timing. Senior Tantai just issued another task a few days ago to maintain the medicinal garden. This time it's for a year and costs 400 contribution points."
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You're still deducting six hundred from my account? What do you mean by that?"
We're all in the same boat. It's one thing to charge exorbitant channel fees before cooperation, but to continue doing so after cooperation is pointless.
There's really nothing we can do about it.
Zhao Shang spread his hands, looking helpless.
"This is the rule of Ice and Snow Pavilion. I really didn't take advantage of you. The original price is one thousand, half of which goes to the pavilion, and ten percent goes to the Foundation Establishment cultivator. I, Zhao, can't touch a single penny!"
Wang Yu stared at him for a long time to make sure he wasn't lying before nodding.
"New is not as good as old, unfamiliar is not as good as familiar, this is the one."
"Take it, no need to see me off."
After sending Wang Yu away like a plague god, Zhao Shang sighed and continued doing the accounting. It was a tough job that required just as much effort as cultivating.
If any mistakes or oversights occur, it could trigger a crisis prematurely, directly impacting his life, so we can only put in more effort.

…………
The residence of the Evil God.
Wang Yu is examining the two newly acquired high-grade spells.
【Ice Coffin Spell】 and 【Shapeshifting Step】!
The Ice Coffin Spell is a spell that binds and kills enemies. It can conjure an ice coffin out of thin air next to the target and imprison the enemy inside. When cultivated to a high level, it can also generate a large number of ice spikes inside the ice coffin, stringing the target together into a blood gourd.
If used flexibly, it can also serve as a 360-degree defense method with no blind spots. The ice crystals condensed by this technique are extremely hard and cannot be broken by anyone other than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Illusionary Step is a high-grade movement technique that excels at short-range dodging and maneuvering. It can create up to nine illusory bodies that are identical to the original body, used to confuse enemies. These bodies will dissipate when attacked.
If one can cultivate it to perfection, the illusory body can withstand an attack from a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator without dissipating, greatly increasing its practicality.
Once these two techniques are mastered, Wang Yu's combat ability will rise to another level, making it well worth the investment.
He circulated his internal energy several more times before finally falling asleep peacefully.
The next day.
Standing before the familiar Tantai Medicinal Herb Garden, Wang Yu activated the inverted bat copper ring and, after passing through the gate's inspection, was allowed to enter.
Inside the Wind-Crossing Hall, which was draped with light gauze curtains, Tantai Chan was sitting there, playing with a jade toad in her hand. When she saw Wang Yu enter, she looked thoughtful.
"Yang Yu?"
"Disciple Wang Yu greets Senior Tantai."
"Oh~"
She wasn't embarrassed by calling him by the wrong name and continued, "Since we're acquaintances, there's no need to say anything more. Just follow the same protocol as last time."
"Disciple understands."
"I need to go on a trip to Tianbao City, a thousand miles away, to attend an auction. I won't be back for another year. I'll leave this herb garden to you to manage."
"If you need more Nine-Leaf Frost Grass, you can take three of them at market price."
"Thank you very much, Senior Tantai."
Wang Yu was puzzled. Last time, Tantai Chan hadn't been so clear or offered any convenience. This time, it felt like she was implying something, and it didn't seem like she was talking to him directly.
As for the Nine-Leaf Frost Grass, it is one of the main ingredients of the "Frost Blood Pill". It was originally a material prepared for myself, aiming for the top grade.
I haven't used the two plants I have yet, and now that the plan has been postponed, I don't need any more for the time being.
Wang Yu had many questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask them. After watching Tantai Chan fly away, he took a small stool and sat down at the door.
wait!
Just half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. This time it was an old Foundation Establishment cultivator. Seeing that the person who opened the door was only an outer Qi Refining cultivator, he spoke arrogantly.
"Boy, where did Steward Tantai go?"
"May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator frowned and rebuked him.
"Just tell me if I ask, or I won't tell you my name?"
Wang Yu quickly lowered his head.
"I am simply following Lord Tantai's orders."
"Fine, 'Following orders' indeed." The Foundation Establishment cultivator snorted coldly: "I am Yang Yunzhi. Tell me, where did Steward Tantai go?"
"Tianbao City!"
"snort."
As Old Deng left, he pressed his breath against Wang Yu, as if venting his dissatisfaction, before departing.
Wang Yu added this question on a whim, with the aim of figuring out the situation here.
It's just a mere Foundation Establishment pressure. As long as he doesn't leave the Medicine Garden, which is connected to the Evil God Workshop's formation, and the main formation is located on Evil God Peak, no one can harm him. Naturally, his courage will be even greater.
He noted down Yang Yunzhi's name, and then throughout the day, Foundation Establishment cultivators came to find him one after another, a total of thirteen people. He didn't know exactly which level of Foundation Establishment they were at.
But they all have one thing in common: they are all cultivators of their generation!
The term "first-generation cultivator" specifically refers to ordinary people without any background who advance to the Foundation Establishment stage through fortuitous opportunities, and a small family will emerge behind them.
The number of cultivators can range from a dozen to over a hundred, and it will continue to grow as the Foundation Establishment cultivator ages. When they can see the end of their own path, they will place their hopes on the next generation.
He began to travel around seeking opportunities for his offspring.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is of paramount importance!
Some succeed and, over time, gradually evolve into Golden Core families; others fail and are lost in the vast sea of people, starting all over again.
Of the thirteen people, apart from Yang Yunzhi, who was domineering and spoke in an interrogative tone, the others were quite polite inquiring about Tantai Chan's whereabouts.
