Chapter 74 The Last Two Years at Xuan Gu Mountain (Please read on, please vote!)
This spell is useless against him; we'll deal with it later.
Half a day later, as night fell, Wang Yu carried Liu Jinxian back to the foot of Xuan Gu Mountain and immediately called out loudly without any politeness:
"Situ Hong, Gu Zhengshun, come out and greet them!"
The sudden sound startled the two who were discussing countermeasures. They were even more surprised when they realized it was Wang Yu's voice.
"Why is he back...?"
"That person came looking for him, and Liu Jinxian helped him out."
"Let's go out and take a look."
However, when the two came out, they were dumbfounded. They anxiously went forward to check on Liu Jinxian's condition, and their expressions were not good.
Times have changed. After the conflict in the underground palace subsided, they, like Wang Yu, were among the people who least wanted to see Liu Jinxian get into trouble, given her powerful and unparalleled background.
Having witnessed the methods his father employed, this worry intensified.
Situ Hong asked anxiously, "What happened? What's going on?"
Wang Yu replied, "She got into a fight with that Foundation Establishment cultivator and was tricked. Her divine sense was probably damaged and her soul was weak, but it's not a big problem."
"Thank goodness." Situ Hong and Gu Zhengshun breathed a sigh of relief, then became curious again: "How is that Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"He died, killed by Senior Sister Liu."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhengshun looked at Wang Yu with great interest.
"The body is in your hands?"
"yes."
"That man broke into Xuan Gu Mountain, first killing the Bone Lion King who ruled the area, and then he kept saying he was looking for you. Do you know him?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu looked extremely surprised.
"How could that be? You can't just say things like that."
"hehe--"
Gu Zhengshun rubbed his hands together, pulled Wang Yu aside, and whispered, "Name your price for a Foundation Establishment corpse."
Wang Yu remained silent.
For the disciples of Heavenly Corpse Peak, the corpses of powerful figures are a rare and precious opportunity. By cultivating them using the corpse refining method for several years, they can be transformed into combat forces.
This is why Gu Zhengshun went straight to the gravesite as soon as he entered the underground palace.
Don't be fooled by the fact that I got him a second-tier divine power corpse arm; it's a defective product, a completely damaged limb that can't be repaired.
Compared to a complete Foundation Establishment corpse, it's on a completely different level, but this thing is useless to Wang Yu, so he doesn't care.
"I can sell it to you, but you have to name your price first. I don't really need spirit stones right now."
These words stumped Gu Zhengshun once again.
"Why don't you tell me what you want first, junior brother?"
"Simple, how about the demon core of a second-tier cold-attribute python-type demon beast, plus five thousand spirit stones?"
Gu Zhengshun frowned slightly: "Let me check the goods first."
After seeing Deacon Xu's dark, still-oozing green pus corpse, he bargained, "The damage is a bit severe, reduce the price by two thousand spirit stones."
"make a deal!"
Selling it to anyone is the same as selling it. Wang Yu felt that he would be lucky to get a useful demon core in return, since a Qi Refining disciple like him could only access the sect's first-tier treasure vault.
There are no second-tier demon cores inside, let alone anything limited to the cold attribute.
"In two years, we will return to our sect. You can prepare your items before we trade."
"Can."
After saying that, the two returned to their original positions, which made Situ Hong look over from time to time. They kept their distance from each other by ten steps, showing how cunning they were.
The three remained silent for a long time before Wang Yu broke the deadlock.
"I'm leaving Senior Sister Liu in your care now. I'm going to Xuan Gu Mountain for seclusion."
"Ah, this..."
"I'm going into seclusion too."
Gu Zhengshun followed closely behind Wang Yu, plunging into the [Earth Yin Corpse Puppet Array] and disappearing from sight.
Situ Hong was left with a helpless bitter smile. This man really couldn't just be left here like this, and he certainly couldn't die, or he wouldn't be able to explain himself!
…………
…………
Peaceful days always slip through our fingers like flowing water, winter goes and spring comes, summer nights turn to cool autumn.
Before we knew it, the seasons had turned twice more.
The five-year period has come to an end. The first three years were filled with constant troubles and heavy casualties. In the last two years, there were only four people left, and it was extremely quiet.
They only meet in May and June each year, when the Bone Tree blooms, to pick a batch of Mysterious Essence Flowers and prepare to bring them back to the sect to sell to their fellow disciples.
The quantity was much less, due to a severe shortage of manpower, making it difficult to completely eradicate the three Xuan Gu Mountains. However, each of them managed to mine a batch of bone wood, which they planned to hand over to their respective sects.
The amount of bone wood needed was for 500 people. The work was quite complicated and had to be completed intermittently. No matter who was missing, the sect's members could not be absent. The task had to be completed; this was a consensus.
Since waking up, Liu Jinxian has been quietly healing her injuries. She only met with Wang Yu once, and with the blessing of being saved, her attitude improved considerably.
But it wasn't particularly good. According to Liu Jinxian, as long as one was willing to have a Gu worm implanted in them, they could become her bedmate and would have no shortage of cultivation resources.
Wang Yu politely declined this gratitude, subtly citing Su Zhenchuan's name to politely refuse.
As for the spoils, they didn't ask for them, probably because they were afraid he would do something irrational.
In early January of Wang Yu's eighth year as an outer disciple, on this day.
Having just finished his cultivation, he was planning his next cultivation step. During this period, he had cultivated a total of 4,880 strands of spiritual energy, and had just finished refining the fifth top-grade Cold Blood Pill.
Rounded up, that's 49 streams of spiritual energy.
With 149 strands of spiritual energy accumulated, I need to accumulate 300 strands to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. I'm still halfway there, but my progress is already quite fast.
Currently, there is only one solution that Wang Yu can immediately implement.
The "Frost Dragon Pill" is made by using the special effects of the Frost Dragon alchemy technique to reconstruct the Supreme Frost Blood Pill, enhance its effects, and accelerate cultivation from the perspective of elixirs.
Secondly, we can try to investigate formations, talismans, spiritual food, and so on, to see if there are any methods that can help with cultivation.
Now that the Xuan Gu Mountain mission is about to expire, I can go back and complete the transaction with Gu Zhengshun, and then I can complete the goal of obtaining the pills first. It just so happens that there is an empty slot in my inventory again in the past two years.
[Placement slot 4: Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique (Perfect)]
"Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique (100/100): Practice 52 times a day, and it will take 50 years to master."
Because it swallowed two large mouthfuls of the souls of Foundation Establishment stage vengeful ghosts, it saved a lot of time. The technique was also unique in nature and different from conventional spells.
It's much simpler to achieve perfection.
Once this technique was perfected, the [Black Fiend Armor Pattern] covering Wang Yu's skin disappeared beneath the skin, and could be activated with a thought, making it convenient and quick.
It is particularly effective against spiritual attacks in defense. In terms of normal physical attacks, energy impacts, and the five elements, it is similar to a second-tier low-grade defensive spell.
It's just that it consumes a lot of energy. In the past two years, Wang Yu has only encountered one backlash from a vengeful spirit, which was aimed at his soul and wasn't too powerful.
After all, he had only swallowed a soul once. The Taiyin You Tong (a magical eye) could draw upon the power of the Taiyin Moon Essence to nourish and cleanse his soul, and strengthen his divine consciousness.
In addition, alchemy also has the effect of training one's spiritual sense and increasing its foundation, so he easily overcame it.
This extraordinary technique has a time limit of fifty years, which is more than twice as long as the Corpse Demon Secret Technique. It's simply outrageous.
