Chapter 51 Earthly Yin Corpse Puppet Formation (Please read on, please vote!)
His skin was grayish-white, covered with black veins, and he wore the mountain-ridged corpse armor that only iron-clad corpses possessed, with a noticeable color difference from Wang Yu's right hand.
What is this?
Wang Yu spoke eloquently and without reservation:
"The arm of the second-tier armored corpse. Gu Zhengshun asked me to help him because of this item and the secret method for connecting it."
"However, he is ruthless, betraying me first, so I, Wang, will no longer help him. Senior Sister Liu, are you interested in his hidden secrets now?"
Lying puts no pressure on Wang Yu. In the current situation, saying this is the only way to put him on the more advantageous side, something Gu Zhengshun can't explain away.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinxian lowered her eyes and then suddenly smiled.
"With the help of such a talented and promising junior brother Wang, I am sure to achieve my goals and have everything go smoothly in the next five years. Is that right?"
"That's natural."
Seeing that he could back down, Wang Yu accepted the situation. Being assertive was a display of strength, but being overly arrogant was just being ungrateful. The man surnamed Liu turned around and called a large group of men to gang up on him, so even if he didn't die, he would be fine.
He couldn't possibly benefit from the Xuanjing Flower.
While one can choose an opportunity to kill within the sect, the danger outside the sect is even greater, so one must not be careless or underestimate the enemy.
Seeing Wang Yu's submissive posture, Liu Jinxian breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be magnanimous, saying:
"Now that Junior Brother Wang has taken this place so early, it belongs to you from now on. Do you have any more information about Gu Zhengshun's actions down here?"
"I don't know." Wang Yu shook his head and said bluntly, "Gu Zhengshun is wary of me and won't even let me enter the formation. Senior Sister can tell at a glance."
Too.
The people of Tianshi Peak were all hiding inside the formation, leaving only Wang Yu, a lone wolf, outside. All signs indicated that they were at odds, which made Liu Jinxian feel more at ease.
"In that case, Junior Brother Wang, would you be willing to come with me to break this ridiculous formation?"
"Please, senior sister."
After successfully averting the danger, Wang Yu followed Liu Jinxian and flew out of the 290th floor, where he saw Su Qingshan standing on the edge of the 294th floor, looking down at the ground below.
The other party's expression changed slightly in surprise, but seeing Liu Jinxian's kind attitude, he didn't say a word, but bowed from a distance without coming forward.
Such tactfulness confirmed Wang Yu's assessment of Su Qingshan: a cunning and opportunistic sycophant, someone to be wary of.
A moment later.
At the bottom of Xuan Gu Mountain, looking at the sky filled with black mist, Liu Jinxian took out a wooden seal, which instantly grew larger under the influence of spiritual power. It was a high-grade magic weapon!
The seal, like an artificial mountain, crashed down suddenly.
The black mist quickly condensed and gathered, but was smashed apart by a seal. With the second strike, a sound of air being torn apart rang out, and three bronze-armored corpses leaped out together, using their bodies to forcefully repel the seal. Afterwards, they returned to the black mist and disappeared without a trace.
Liu Jinxian was clearly startled and exclaimed.
"Earthly Yin Corpse Puppet Formation!"
Wang Yu's mind raced, and he asked, "Senior Sister is very knowledgeable about this formation?"
"yes."
Instead of concealing it, Liu Jinxian fully agreed with the conjecture that Gu Zhengshun was hiding an even bigger secret. Driven by greed, she said:
"Gu Zhengshun's advisor called himself 'Di Yinzi' and had received the inheritance of an earth array master, which included an array that was considered superior even among those in the Foundation Establishment realm. This array is it!"
Is it considered top-tier among second-order formations?
Wang Yu seemed to be deep in thought. Gu Zhengshun was so willing to part with it, which showed how valuable the hidden secret was. He also wanted it.
Array masters are ranked according to their lineage, even among those of the same level, with Heavenly Array Masters being the highest, followed by Earthly Array Masters, and Ordinary Array Masters being the most common.
The Earth Yin Corpse Puppet Array uses the refined corpse as its core, connecting with the Earth Yin, providing an inexhaustible source of power. Nourished by the array's power, it can grow and even mutate over time.
Such a formidable formation cannot be entered without specialized magical artifacts or talismans for breaking it.
This is preparation for not coming out. If it doesn't involve the "True Essence Gate" of the three stages of Foundation Establishment, the first-level Profound Essence Flower is actually enough for Qi Refining cultivators to use for cultivation.
Thinking about it this way, he has a greater chance of breaking through his cultivation level and waiting for the right opportunity!
What Wang Yu thought of, Liu Jinxian could also think of. She looked at Wang Yu and said, "I will contact Situ Hong and ask him if he has any treasures to break the formation. If you can think of a way, you can come and find me."
"yes---"
Finally, after seeing Liu Jinxian off, he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the silent black mist, he shook his head and sighed. He flew straight to the 290th floor. He had to guard the flower and didn't have time to cause any more trouble.
Returning to the protection of the [Blood Mist Concealing Spirit Array], Wang Yu took out the two storage bags he had obtained.
The items included over two thousand spirit stones, the corpses of eight ferocious bone lions, and a number of pills and miscellaneous items. Wang Yu generally did not take pills of unknown origin, so they were not of much value to him.
The only exception was that bronze bell-shaped artifact, which was a high-grade magic weapon, primarily for defense and possessing the effect of sonic attacks on multiple targets; it was quite good.
After refining, it can add another method.
"Unfortunately, the spells and incantations learned by these sect disciples are all obtained directly from the jade slips of their divine consciousness and are never passed on to outsiders, unless they obtain them through an opportunity outside the sect."
Obtaining cultivation techniques or secret arts in the short term is virtually impossible, with a probability so low as to be negligible.
He was actually quite interested in the Gu techniques of Gu Poison Peak.
Logically speaking, the Nine Peaks and Ten Inheritances of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, apart from the fundamental Nascent Soul inheritance, should be able to be passed on to each other. However, the sect rules inexplicably prohibit this, and he couldn't understand it.
Perhaps the key to this will become clear in the future.
After today's events, Wang Yu basically stayed at home, obediently guarding his small plot of land, relying solely on fasting pills for sustenance, like an ascetic cultivator, refining the medicinal power of the top-grade Cold Blood Pill every day.
Six months have passed since he broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
The placement bar increases spiritual power cultivation by 72 levels, the top-grade Cold Blood Pill increases it by 50 levels, and one level is gained through personal cultivation.
Now, his spiritual power cultivation has accumulated to 423 levels, a remarkable improvement with significant results, far exceeding the speed expected of a useless spiritual root, and no less impressive than that of a dual spiritual root.
But he knew his own situation well. Even if he cultivated to the limit that his meridians could withstand every day, his improvement would be minimal. His aptitude was an insurmountable barrier, and he was determined to find a way to change it.
The effects of the Cold Blood Technique and the Corpse Demon Secret Technique are limited. Even if the techniques are advanced to the second level, it will be difficult for his aptitude to reach the level of a mid-grade spiritual root, unless he seeks out demonic techniques and secret arts in this area.
Demonic cultivators are most adept at seizing someone's foundation.
The demonic path has a long history, and there must be descendants of powerful figures who, due to their lack of aptitude, are unable to cultivate immortality. The demonic path produces heroes, and there must be supreme secret techniques to reverse aptitude.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is his opportunity. He will eventually have the resources to climb to the top. Before that, he needs to establish his foundation to gain a higher status and more influence.
"Mysterious Essence Flower... I hope you can help me reach even greater heights!"
Since Liu Jinxian seized most of the Xuan Gu Mountain from Gu Zhengshun, and Situ Hong did not inquire about it at all, time has passed like white clouds and grey dogs.
In late May of the following year, at the turn of spring and summer.
The Xuanjing flowers bloomed one after another, and their fragrance attracted more swarms of putrid bees and ferocious bone lions to attack. Wang Yu was prepared and discovered that most of these monsters and insects from the outside world came out of the desolate cave.
