Chapter 459 Three Types of Fifth-Order Precious Pills: The Emperor's Secret Treasury
Although the two reached a cooperation agreement, their essential relationship remained unchanged; they were both competitors and adversaries.
It's fine if they work together to deal with the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord, but if they're vying for the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, they won't hold back either.
If we get the chance, we'll beat them to a pulp.
In this respect, the Old Demon of the Pride of the Sun is clearly at a disadvantage, and whether he can break through is still unknown.
For demonic cultivators, the real problem is the lack of a reliable Nascent Soul successor; otherwise, they wouldn't have remained a dominant force in the demonic path for tens of thousands of years without producing a single Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Taihu Lake region inherited the legacy of ancient sages and has even created its own sword-based divine transformation technique in the modern era, while the demonic path originates from the ancient demons.
Once one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, one is destined to be corrupted by demons.
Unless one's spiritual realm is high enough to resist the invasion of this mysterious demonic intent, or one uses the secret techniques of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect to refine this demonic intent and even make it one's own, one cannot succeed.
What specific methods will the Yellow Springs Temple Master and the Proud Sun Demon use?
Wang Yu's identity remains unknown.
However, the method of entering the Longevity Medicine Treasury was not something he deliberately sabotaged; there was indeed no way to enter directly.
This place is far larger than the Immortal Official's Medicine Storehouse, and since it is impossible to have a complete overview, we can only operate in a cautious manner.
After a moment's hesitation.
Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, the arrogant old demon spoke first.
"Then let me go first. I have great faith in young friend Wang's abilities, and he will certainly not disappoint us."
The abbot of Huangquan Temple naturally had no objection and said with a smile.
"--please!"
Old man.
Wang Yu immediately flew through the large hole to the bottom of the Longevity Medicine Storehouse, placed his hand, wearing the Panlong Ring, on it, and turned to the Proud Sun Old Demon.
"Senior, do not activate any magic power or divine sense, try to walk directly through."
"Ignore the restrictions?"
Ignore it.
"good……"
The Demon King of the Sun hesitated as he flew past Wang Yu, gave him a deep look, gritted his teeth, and crashed into him.
Instantly, the barrier light curtain rippled like the surface of water.
In the blink of an eye, the Proud Sun Demon disappeared. Before Wang Yu could speak, the Yellow Springs Abbot quickly came to his side, his expression revealing excitement and anticipation, and said excitedly.
"Quickly send this abbot inside."
"Alright, Abbot, you may try to enter directly."
The Yellow Springs Temple Master paused in his forward movement, then suddenly grabbed Wang Yu's wrist and slammed him against the barrier light screen.
Clearly, even with the opportunity at hand, he hadn't forgotten Wang Yu's importance and wouldn't do something foolish like rushing in and leaving Wang Yu alone outside.
To get out, you still need this ability; to plot against the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord, you need Wang Yu to activate that Yin-Yang Killing Array.
A change in perspective.
A similar layout came into view, but the scale of the Longevity Medicine Storehouse was more than a hundred times larger than that of the Immortal Official's Medicine Storehouse. The Ice Prison Realm in ancient times had just transformed from a frozen land into a normal world.
This is a special period when all kinds of rare and precious materials emerge.
It's a land overflowing with treasures; even a weed is a treasure.
The ancient immortal dynasty that controlled that era, and the resources of an entire realm, how wealthy was the private medicine treasury of the ancient human emperor? It's impossible to estimate just by thinking about it.
Inside the Longevity Medicine Storehouse, there were no large-scale storage tools like medicine cabinets, but rather a layout similar to the ninth floor of the Immortal Official's Medicine Storehouse, with compartments.
On separate altars and similar offering tables.
There was a jade-colored treasure box containing precious pills or spiritual herbs, most of which were at the fifth rank, and the preservation methods were quite sophisticated.
It was once again the private treasury of the ancient human emperor, and its quantity and efficacy met the expectations of the Proud Sun Demon and the Lord of the Yellow Springs Temple.
At their level, even if they weren't alchemists, they would study a secret method for testing pills, and hurriedly chose a cubicle.
Directly targeting the forbidden and restrained is where the Yellow Springs Temple Master has a great advantage. Although the Yellow Springs Turbid Flow is specifically effective against magical treasures, it is less effective against inanimate objects.
Despite its powerful corrosive ability, it can still produce considerable results. The Old Demon of the Blazing Sun's methods are very powerful, but when faced with small and delicate things, it seems to have no way to deal with them.
Surprisingly, even under these circumstances.
Neither of them asked him to help lift the ban.
Wang Yu, standing at the rear, quickly understood that throughout history, self-interest has been the fundamental driving force behind the interactions between various forces, including cooperation, betrayal, and marriage alliances.
Now that the Longevity Medicine Treasury has been entered, it's full of treasures. Before they picked them up, the two of them were still good partners.
Once someone picks up more, someone else picks up less.
A major war is inevitable, even knowing that it may lead to bad consequences, but we still can't help it.
So they simply didn't need Wang Yu's "cheat code" help.
Pick it up yourself!
Wang Yu was just as cunning in this regard; otherwise, he wouldn't have so decisively given up the opportunity in the palace. He was afraid that if he saw it, his greed would be irresistibly drawn out.
They simply couldn't resist touching their little hands.
Just like now.
With so many fifth-tier precious pills readily available, why wouldn't he take them? What's the point of cultivating then? His demonic cultivation would be wasted!
Wang Yu is an honest person, but he also likes to tell little lies occasionally.
The Longevity Medicine Treasury was originally the private treasury of an ancient human emperor.
But there are still people who can get in, such as the empress, the crown prince, important officials in the court, alchemy masters, and so on.
With so many people coming in, it becomes difficult to store private items in certain places. Based on the feedback from the Panlong Ring, there should be another secret vault within the Longevity Medicine Vault.
That's where the Emperor's little secret is hidden.
Wang Yu pondered for a moment.
"Seniors, now that I'm here, I'll take three precious pills as well, what do you say?"
There are a great many fifth-grade precious pills here. Wang Yu was a key contributor to their entry into this place, so he wouldn't be stingy.
The abbot of Huangquan Temple was the first to respond.
"Young friend, please take as you wish. If you see any precious pills that can help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, please leave them for this abbot."
"That's natural."
The Old Demon of the Proud Sun nodded in agreement, but did not speak. He simply continued to attack the restriction, as if he were completely absorbed in it.
Seeing this, Wang Yu began to wander alone in the medicine storehouse.
The two old demons diverted a portion of their divine sense to keep a close watch on him. Although they didn't say it aloud, the tacit understanding between them remained. They still harbored suspicion and surveillance towards Wang Yu.
Wang Yu didn't care at all.
With the Panlong Ring in hand, he could more accurately assess the precious pills inside the restriction, and the known number of fifth-order precious pills in the entire Longevity Medicine Treasury exceeded one hundred.
There were over a hundred fifth-tier spiritual herbs, but very few of them were truly of superior fifth-tier quality, accounting for about 5%. This was by no means the entirety of a human emperor's private treasury.
As he walked, Wang Yu suddenly stopped in front of a barrier light screen.
He reached out and pulled out the treasure box containing the pill. This scene made the two old demons' eyes widen. Although they knew Wang Yu had extremely high authority, the ease with which he did it still made them feel uneasy.
It's so painful.
The Yellow Springs Temple Master stared intently at the precious pill, discovering that its entire body was blood-red and glassy, with a small blood-red dragon coiled inside, and abundant blood energy rising from it.
This is a precious elixir that focuses on improving physical health.
He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a precious pill that could help him break through to the Nascent Soul realm, nothing else mattered. He could take whatever he wanted.
Wang Yu also lifted it up and shook it at the two of them.
He reminded her.
"The first one."
He appeared calm, but was inwardly thrilled. He had seen this precious pill in ancient books, but not in the Shujing Hall, but in the demon race's ancient books.
This precious pill is of the fifth-grade superior quality.
It is called—【Blood Abyss Glazed Elixir】!
It is a breakthrough elixir that helps one break through to the fifth level of Body Refinement, equivalent to a breakthrough spiritual item for the Nascent Soul stage, but it can only be effective in the path of Body Refinement. Both demons and humans can use it.
It has the miraculous effect of regenerating flesh and blood, breaking down and rebuilding.
Even if one fails to break through to the next realm, the effects of this pill can save one's life and give one a second chance to break through.
However, the effects of this elixir are relatively difficult to activate.
It is not the type that can be taken and refined to take effect. Rather, it is a secret power hidden in the body. When one is seriously injured and on the verge of death, this secret power can be activated to break through and rebuild.
To achieve this, one also needs to possess the cultivation level of the peak of the fourth-order body refinement stage; otherwise, it will only be a simple recovery of injuries with the incidental improvement of physical cultivation.
After obtaining the precious pill.
Wang Yu ate it without hesitation.
After all, we are in a dangerous situation now. Even if we can't unleash its full potential, it's still worthwhile to use it to save our lives.
immediately.
For his second precious pill, he chose the [Demon Blood Reversal Pill], a mid-grade fifth-tier pill that can assist demons with bloodlines below the Heavenly Rank to raise their bloodline level by one grade.
Its most powerful effect is that it can enable demons with superior Earth-grade bloodlines to possess inferior Heaven-grade bloodlines. It goes without saying who it is intended for.
The reason for this choice was that the two old demons were keeping a close eye on it, and the precious pills they were taking were too valuable; they certainly wouldn't be willing to accept it.
Therefore, he could only choose some peripheral items that could still be effective for him.
Even without the little fox by her side, she still has her own chance.
It's really important to follow the right people.
The third precious pill that Wang Yu chose was applied to his divine sense, reaching the mid-grade fifth rank—[Pagoda Illusionary Spirit Pill]!
The effect is simple and direct: just consume and refine it.
Its potent medicinal effects were enough to give Wang Yu a level of spiritual power close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, equivalent to the level of someone who had just entered the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
After he selected three precious pills, the two old demons also successfully broke through the first restriction and obtained their first reward. They then hurriedly selected their second target.
The Yellow Springs Temple Master was much faster than the Proud Sun Demon. By the time the latter selected the second target, he had already solved half of the second target.
The gap is visible to the naked eye and will only widen over time, eventually leading to unbearable pressure.
Besides asking Wang Yu for help, there is also the option of striking first.
What will he choose?
Wang Yu leaned against a vermilion dragon pillar, quietly watching the two race. He didn't move again, honestly choosing three pills and no longer coveting the other precious pills.
Those familiar with Wang Yu know that's impossible.
The saying "fortune favors the bold" was a harbinger of his frequent setbacks, but these repeated failures never deterred him from this famous adage; he would still act when the time was right.
He's incredibly stubborn.
After refining the Rainbow Feather Stone, the Aurora Escape Technique reached the fourth-tier top grade, and the illusionary body became more realistic. With Wang Yu's perfect level of cultivation, it was not impossible for him to temporarily deceive the two old demons.
However, timing is crucial; one must seize the moment when their minds are in turmoil and they are ignoring his attention to him.
The dragon pillar he leaned on was not chosen randomly.
Based on observation and covert detection, Wang Yu was quite certain that this was the entrance to the Human Emperor's Secret Treasury, and now he was just waiting for the right opportunity.
…………
…………
At the gates of the Imperial Palace in Dongjikyo.
The ancient war chariot of the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord was parked here, with three fourth-order black dragons transformed into human form and standing silently beside him along with two attendants.
Behind the curtain, on the soft couch, ever since he devoured Youmingzi's nascent soul, the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord had been focusing on refining that fifth-order medicinal power.
The refining process was much more difficult than he had imagined.
But it only took a few days to finish, since Youmingzi had already initially swallowed and refined it, and the medicinal effects hadn't even had time to take effect yet.
It won't take too much time.
However, he hesitated to act out of caution, carefully savoring the memory information hidden within the nascent soul.
A cultivator's nascent soul has a portion of its essence integrated into it, and its memories can also be forcibly searched by the Soul Searching Technique.
This sight made him feel uneasy.
He witnessed Youmingzi's entire experience inside the Tianxing Tower and finally confirmed that there was indeed a chance to transform into a Nascent Soul. The problem was that the other party had specifically asked the tower spirit when he was meditating and refining.
He applied for the challenge suspension protection mechanism on the ground of breaking through the realm. In theory, the tower spirit will ensure that no one can disturb him until he succeeds or fails in breaking through.
It can be compared with what actually happens in reality.
It's impossible for Wang Yu to change the rules of the Heaven-Defying Star Tower with just a token.
The Crimson Heaven Demon Lord narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up.
The tiny ant dared to deceive him; he was already courting death!
But the opportunity in the palace is right in front of him. There's no need to make a big fuss over such trivial matters. He'll take his share of the spoils and then send people to settle things. There are countless Nascent Soul experts willing to serve him.
"--snort!"
He took the lead and entered the palace.
The three black dragons and two servants exchanged glances, wondering what had happened that suddenly soured the Demon Lord's mood, but they dared not ask.
I could only follow closely behind.
Relying on his formidable strength, the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord chose one of the most prominent buildings in the imperial palace as his first target – the Golden Palace!
This is the site of an ancient celestial dynasty and its court assembly.
While these places are large and prestigious enough, the problem is that they generally don't contain valuable treasures.
Even the imperial seal wouldn't be kept in such a place.
This is a lack of understanding of the Celestial Dynasty system, resulting in a cognitive bias. The Crimson Heaven Demon Lord is so arrogant that he will sooner or later taste the bitter fruit of his actions.
at the same time.
The Yellow Springs Temple Master, who had just succeeded in breaking through the fourth barrier, and the Proud Sun Demon, who had just succeeded in breaking through the third barrier, both showed surprised smiles on their faces.
My heart is filled with excitement, and I yearn for the wonderful future.
The former obtained a precious pill that aided in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Although it wasn't as powerful as a breakthrough item, it still increased the chances by 20%.
The latter, however, obtained a miraculous medicine.
The specific effects are unknown, but they must be very good, otherwise the old demon of the blazing sun wouldn't be so delighted.
Seeing this, Wang Yu seized the opportunity, leaned against the pillar, and suddenly withdrew from it, seamlessly merging into the coiled dragon pillar.
The two old demons looked over at the same time.
The illusory Wang Yu stared intently at their harvest, his eyes burning with desire, instantly calming the slight unease in the hearts of the two.
Keep working!
Here's the first chapter; barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be another update tonight.
If anything goes wrong, we will notify you in the group chat.
I don't think so.
