Chapter 48 Mystery (Please read on, please vote!)
After he left, he secretly informed Huang Kai and Luo Pinghu, without mentioning Zhou Tao, who was more ambitious, but simply passed on the sovereignty of the Alchemist Society to Zhou Tao.
The other party was naturally overjoyed and, having already had this idea in mind, immediately tried to seduce Zhao Shang.
The man surnamed Zhao was also a money-grubber who didn't care about his life. He had worked at the Ice and Snow Pavilion for many years and had embezzled far more than 30,000 spirit stones. However, the spirit stones he spent on daily cultivation and managing relationships were much higher than those spent by a single household like Wang Yu.
Even after accumulating enough capital (30,000) to purchase a high-grade Foundation Building Pill, it was still not enough.
These two greedy people will bring about their own destruction sooner or later.
Withdrawing in time and staying away from the mountain gate was also Wang Yu's way to avoid disaster.
Let's get back to the main topic.
After setting up the maze, Wang Yu moved into the dilapidated stone house left by his predecessors. The corpse of the Bone Lion had some value; the longest bone spur on its back was a top-grade material for crafting magical artifacts.
It's worth at least two hundred spirit stones. The corpse itself is ordinary, but as a peak first-tier creature, even as food for domesticated evil beings, it's worth over a hundred.
Killing two will earn you a top-grade Cold Blood Pill.
This is an income that is extremely difficult to obtain within the sect; if one really wants to earn cultivation resources, one must leave the sect.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xuan Gu Mountain is a relatively "rich" resource site.
All three Xuan Gu Mountains have second-tier Yin veins.
Yin veins are also a type of spiritual vein, but the spiritual energy they emit is more inclined towards yin attributes, and they are often only conceived in places with too much death.
Logically speaking, it is quite reasonable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to be stationed in such a place, and the cultivators stationed at Xuan Gu Mountain in the last round should have theoretically wiped out Xuan Gu Mountain once.
It took them three months to get here, but the place was quickly taken over by the Bone Lions and the Corpse Venom Bees, which is suspicious.
Therefore, even though Wang Yu could easily kill the Bone-Eyed Lion, he was not careless at all and prepared to advance slowly, guarding against any minor changes.
After all, there are still more than four months until the flowers bloom!
Due to differences in harvesting time and growing environment, the flowering time intervals of different types of Bone Tree vary, and some Bone Trees will flower every year.
Four months is enough time for him to conquer two levels and make them his own.
That's how it is.
One month later.
"Ice Coffin Spell - Cold Wind Arrives!"
By perfecting his magical techniques, Wang Yu could not only enhance their power but also make subtle modifications to their original forms.
Just like now.
The Ice Coffin Curse, which was supposed to be shaped into six ice crystals that would come together to form a binding coffin, was transformed by Wang Yu into six ice walls that surrounded a swarm of putrid bees.
The ice crystals vibrated incessantly, and countless icicles shot out from the ice wall. Accompanied by gusts of icy wind, the originally troublesome bee swarm was almost completely turned into ice blocks and smashed on the ground.
Their putrefactive toxins have absolutely no effect on magical spells or spiritual power!
A major problem was solved with ease.
This change was something Wang Yu couldn't do when fighting Xu Jiaojiao. It was a change made after experiencing many battles and adapting to the situation. This is what is called combat experience.
Turn a troublesome struggle into a sweeping victory.
Combat skills are a crucial factor in a cultivator's strength. Wang Yu is becoming more and more accustomed to them, while the others are suffering terribly.
Especially the disciples of Tianshi Peak under Gu Zhengshun.
The bronze-armored corpses they commanded had their corpse energy condensed into mountain-shaped bronze armor, covering their surfaces. This seemed to be due to the corpses' natural talent, but in reality, it was the work of disciples with family connections.
They would all buy some black iron to have the armored corpses refine it and fuse it with the innate corpse armor, thus further enhancing their defensive capabilities.
Originally intended to enhance the armored corpses, the method backfired upon encountering the swarm of putrefied bees, causing a significant drop in defense and damaging the armor formed from the corpse's aura.
It's been a month, and they've only managed to conquer three sites of bone wood where second-tier Xuanjing flowers are growing. The efficiency is incredibly slow, which is also related to their low cultivation level.
With only twenty people, the lowest level of Qi Refining is Level 3 and the highest is Level 6, the same level as Gu Zhengshun, making it difficult to generate efficiency.
Wang Yu has already conquered two levels and has nine second-tier bone wood plants with flower buds. He is currently preparing for the third level. With his ability, patrolling three levels of territory every day is enough.
In the following years, different types of sapwood will grow flower buds almost every year, and you can harvest them by simply waiting!
On this day, during his daily practice.
Gu Zhengshun, however, sat on the coffin lid and flew straight to the floor where Wang Yu was. He saw the two-story environment without any bees or bone lions and felt a little envious. He called out from afar.
"Junior Brother Wang, I, Gu, have come to visit you on business."
As a path appeared in the blood mist maze, Gu Zhengshun walked in without hesitation. He saw Wang Yu's figure standing in front of the stone house and went straight to the point.
"We're in trouble."
Wang Yu was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Why do you say that?
"It's Liu Jinxian."
Of the three Xuan Gu Mountain Lords, Liu Jinxian is the strongest.
She also had the largest number of subordinates. In just one month, she had already cleaned up her entire Xuan Gu Mountain. With nearly three hundred of them idle, they set their sights on Gu Zhengshun.
"At first, she just wrote a letter hoping that we could capture the swarm of putrid bees from our Xuan Gu Mountain and hand them over to her, but I declined because I didn't have enough manpower."
"She now wants her subordinates to help me clean up this Xuan Gu Mountain. If she takes control, all the territories she's occupied will belong to her..."
Wang Yu frowned. This situation was almost predictable and not surprising. The problem lay with Gu Zhengshun.
"And then what? You didn't prepare any backup plan to counterbalance the other two mountain lords. Did you just come here to be preyed upon in a different place?"
Gu Zhengshun immediately explained with an embarrassed expression:
"The Gu family was once a Foundation Establishment family, but since the fall of our ancestor, it has fallen to the Qi Refining family. The fact that I, Gu, was able to become a Foundation Establishment deacon of the inner sect of Heavenly Corpse Peak is because my master owes the ancestor a favor."
"The Gu family's resources are far inferior to those of the Liu family. If she tries to force her way in, we can only rely on you."
"Look at me?"
Wang Yu chuckled and squinted at Gu Zhengshun, saying, "I am just an ordinary Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator. Brother Gu, you've made a mistake in relying on me as your trump card."
"If Liu Jinxian is really that powerful, what harm is there in me raising the white flag and surrendering? It's no big deal."
Gu Zhengshun said bitterly.
"If Junior Brother Wang insists on this, then I have nothing to say. Sigh... let it be."
As the other person walked away, Wang Yu's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
The cooperation with this person was mainly due to chance, and since Gu Zhengshun's strength was not high, he was confident that he could suppress him. Therefore, by exchanging the Mountain Lord's token, he could also hide himself.
I thought he had some skill because he had a Core Formation Master, but it turns out he was just a paper tiger.
But this situation doesn't seem right. Giving up so easily isn't the style of a demonic cultivator.
"Unless... Gu Zhengshun came to Xuan Gu Mountain not for the Xuan Jing Flower."
Wang Yu muttered to himself, pondering every move the other party made after arriving at Xuan Gu Mountain.
Prosecute, deploy, bury the body—slowly but surely.
All of these are fine, let's proceed steadily!
