Chapter 86 (Continued) (Please read on, please vote!)
Wang Yu readily agreed. He had been an outer disciple for almost nine years, which rounds up to ten, and it was time to move up a bit.
After all, there are two different treatments for outer disciples breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and inner disciples breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. When inner disciples break through, as long as they are not over 100 years old, they are qualified to accept the [True Inheritance Trial Mission]!
That alone makes all the difference.
Although Zhuo Shouqing's official position is not high, the network of connections he can mobilize is in no way inferior to that of Su Zhenchuan, and he is not in such danger.
After all, they were a bunch of spoiled brats who valued their lives even more than he did. As long as they could get their hands on spirit stones, his status would be no different from that of a "hanger-on".
Refers to: a person who specializes in entertaining high-ranking officials and nobles.
The matter of the alchemist society is now settled, and Wang Yu has nearly 50,000 spirit stones on hand, enough for him to use for a long time.
Furthermore, he lacked a way to convert spirit stones into power.
There's no point in accumulating it any further.
Spirit stones have many uses. One is to replenish the spiritual energy of spirit boats and array flags. Another is to replace spiritual veins during daily cultivation, to restore spiritual power, and to help with breakthroughs.
Of course, its most important use is its purchasing power when used as currency.
Many things within the sect require contribution points.
It takes time to earn this stuff. After returning from his trip to Xuan Gu Mountain, Wang Yu didn't have much left. The time investment was too high, so it wasn't worth it.
He also possesses conventional knowledge of techniques, magical artifacts, and elixirs.
With savings approaching 50,000 spirit stones, it wouldn't be far off to say he's the richest outer disciple.
After the arrest, he returned to his residence at Evil God Studio.
He waited patiently for Su Zhenchuan and the Law Enforcement Hall to follow up. If the former failed, the [Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse] might still fall to Zhuo Shouqing and his group. He could only wait.
Three days later.
Rumors of the downfall of the alchemist society still circulated in the streets. Some people sighed and lamented that they hadn't bought enough, and that such cheap elixirs would never be available again.
Some scoffed, saying with absolute certainty, "Within ten years, there will be a second alchemist society, a talisman master society, and a weapon-crafting society..."
The sect's internal monopoly has never been limited to alchemy; Wang Yu knows best how terrifying the profits are.
But this was obtained by squeezing the profits of the sect's industries, and the risk was too high. He would definitely not do it a second time unless he left the Reverse Blood Ten Workshop.
As agreed, Wang Yu arrived at the Enforcement Hall of the Evil God's Workshop; this was his third time there.
Besides the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhuo Shouqing and Yu Xing, there was also a young man with blond hair who was quite handsome and had the best appearance among the three.
However… Wang Yu twitched his sinuses strangely. This person had the scent of on him. As an alchemist, he was naturally well-versed in pharmacology. The effect of this substance was to stabilize the medicinal properties.
But it also has a hidden effect that is little known: dyeing!
The colors that appear after being cleansed with spiritual energy of different attributes are also different. The most basic five elements are red, blue, gold, green, and brown.
The mixture of multiple elemental energies can create dazzling colors when washed, but using it to dye hair... that's truly ingenious.
"cough--
"Wang Yu pays his respects to the three lords!"
The two were excitedly recounting the events when the blond man said with some disappointment and resentment, "You guys are so disloyal! You didn't even wait for me to do something so fun."
Zhuo Shouqing said speechlessly, "It's too late to wait for you. You should be happy to get your share of the money, instead of nagging here."
Yu Xing smiled but remained silent.
Wang Yu's voice diverted their attention, and Zhuo Shouqing stepped forward to introduce him:
"This is the hero of this operation, named Wang Yu."
"Wang Yu, this is Zuo Qiuming, the third deacon of the Enforcement Hall."
"I've met Mr. Zuoqiu."
"This is Yu Xing, you've met him before."
"Greetings, Lord Yu."
No matter how amiable the three were, Wang Yu always politely bowed and never interrupted.
The personalities and auras of these three were quite different from the atmosphere of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. This was because their family backgrounds allowed them to live a peaceful life even if they were naive, loyal, lazy, and bickered every day.
Of course, this doesn't mean they're stupid; it just means they only show their naive side to each other—that's trust!
He had met with Zhuo Shouqing alone once before, and although he seemed easily deceived, he actually knew everything.
They showed no mercy when it came to double-crossing each other, becoming even more ruthless, even trying to devour Deacon Xu's family fortune. The word "greedy" is not enough to describe it.
It is evident that beneath their benevolent exterior, they still possess the underlying nature of the demonic path.
Wang Yu is different; he has too many things to consider.
They belong to different social circles, and they can't force their way in. Or rather, the three of them form a small group that is different from the larger environment, and there are probably quite a few people watching them.
The reason people are kind to him is naturally because he can bring them benefits.
Only by standing in the right position can you achieve your goals!
Seeing that he stood obediently to the side without saying a word, Zhuo Shouqing couldn't help but smile with appreciation and raised his hand to signal the two chattering people to shut up.
"Wang Yu, I have investigated you."
"Born as a spirit slave, he was promoted to outer disciple in less than half a year. He was promoted through the connection of the true disciples of Cold Blood Peak. He also cultivated in the outer sect for nearly ten years and is now at the late stage of Qi Refining."
Am I right?
Wang Yu nodded.
"Lord Zhuo has a discerning eye; Wang Yu's life was just like that."
"pity--"
Seeing his humble yet assertive attitude, Zhuo Shouqing swallowed back what he wanted to say and changed his tone.
"You only have the talent of a useless spiritual root, and you have reached this point today by exchanging your lifespan for cultivation because of your ambition to stand out from others. But this is the end of the story."
"According to the original plan, I wanted to promote you to become an inner disciple of [Blood Nether Peak], but your aptitude is limited, and you will find it difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in your lifetime, and you may not even live for long."
"In that case, the qualifications for an inner disciple are just so-so. Do you have any rewards you want? You can bring them up."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was slightly surprised.
According to the logic of the demonic path, those who lose their value have only one fate: to be abandoned!
Although he brought Zhuo Shouqing two windfalls, looking at the future, he is not a person worth investing in, but rather a candidate for short-term entertainment.
Using spirit stones to appease him would be the best approach, but judging from his current tone, it's undoubtedly giving him a chance to change his fate.
After a moment's thought, Wang Yu made a decisive statement.
"Lord Zhuo, have you ever heard of the [Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation]?"
A look of surprise flashed in Zhuo Shouqing's eyes.
"The secret technique for enhancing aptitude passed down by the Nine Evil True Monarch?"
"Indeed, that's exactly what I've been hoping for—to seek out this technique and seize the opportunity to defy fate."
The three Foundation Establishment deacons looked at each other in bewilderment, and Zhuo Shouqing frowned.
"This secret incantation was passed down by the True Lord to his sect and also to his relatives. Although very few have mastered it, it is a top-tier secret technique in the world. You have quite the nerve, kid!"
Wang Yu persisted:
"I have heard that since the method was introduced five hundred years ago, tens of thousands of cultivators have practiced it, but only a few have succeeded. I only ask for a chance to cultivate! I will not regret it even if I die!"
