Chapter 89 Cultivation Progress (Please read on, please vote!)
The second time, they forcibly killed three spirit slaves and framed them in a very crude manner, thus implicating several managers in the stone house district and sending a favorable message to Su Zhen.
This time, he received high praise and was rewarded with the promotion of an outer disciple.
The third time, which was this time, the plan was not adopted, and there was no follow-up notification or reward. Duan Pangzi, who was stunned, did not contact him again.
These facts are enough to prove that Su Zhenchuan is a radical person; who knows what arrangements he might make?
And the seven months that passed... proved that he had been abandoned.
Since that's the case, we must save ourselves before Wei Zhong comes out of seclusion.
Furthermore, having the right secret technique for cultivating the right aptitude is equivalent to Wang Yu obtaining the key to directly reach the Foundation Establishment stage, which is much better than that worthless "Foundation Seizing Technique".
Even without top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, once he improves his own aptitude, breaking through with high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills will be a natural outcome, without needing to slowly grind and try in the placement slot!
Furthermore, the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse is a permanent enhancement and can be reused. Even without blood ties, it can only take away one or two points of aptitude at a time, but it can be used multiple times.
The Golden Elixir Path was also open to him, and with the added effect of the placement of railings, he dared not imagine how fast his cultivation speed would be in the future.
Therefore, Wang Yu could seriously consider whether to betray his sect during this departure.
The value of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect to him has greatly diminished, and now he is deeply embroiled in the struggle for the true disciples. It would be better to make a permanent solution and simply escape from the Crimson Kite Demon Realm.
Anyway, the "Cold Blood Technique" is about to be upgraded, so there's no need to exchange it for a second-tier technique from the sect, and it can still connect with the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.
All conditions have been met.
"I've been away from home for almost ten years, it's time to go back and visit."
Wang Yu suppressed the matter of betraying his sect for the time being. He remembered how he was kidnapped and could investigate the situation later.
He can also accept the task of capturing spirit slaves, at which point he can enter the Taihu Spirit Realm openly and legitimately. Whether to stay or leave, we'll see.
In August of the ninth year of Wang Yu's outer sect career, after seven months of seclusion, he went into seclusion for another three months. Apart from his daily cultivation and magic practice, he was doing one thing.
Map!
The cultivation world attaches great importance to maps, valuing them no less than cultivation techniques and secret arts. Moreover, they are contraband, and disciples are forbidden from trading them.
Disciples who stay in the sect year-round are mostly only familiar with the [Blood Abyss Prefecture] where the sect is located, and have a basic map.
Only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and above can fully understand the four states directly under the jurisdiction of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, as well as the outposts of numerous cities, cultivation resource development areas, and so on.
The area where the Crimson Kite Demon Realm and the Taihu Spirit Realm meet is filled with numerous dangerous passes and old battlefields, guarded by many cultivators, making it difficult to cross normally.
Beyond the perilous pass and the old battlefield lie two sprawling mountain ranges occupied by demonic beasts. The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is located in the upper left corner of the Crimson Kite Demon Realm, near the [Broken Realm Mountain Range].
The three prefectures under its jurisdiction, Blood Abyss Prefecture, Maple Prefecture, and Night Qiong Prefecture, all border it. The nearest dangerous pass is called Black Mountain Pass. To the right is the Withered Leaf Swamp, located below the mountain range. It is a poisonous swamp full of dangers.
To the left of the perilous pass lies the Black Mountain Demon Land, which is closely connected to the Dragon Mountain Range to the south. These two vast areas, layer upon layer of towering peaks, are diagonally separated from each other.
The righteous path and the demonic path, each half and one half.
This basic information is widely circulated and not difficult to obtain; with a little deduction, one can draw a map on their own.
The difficulty lies in the distribution of spiritual veins, the defensive cities above, and the resource points involved.
There are also detailed maps of the two mountain ranges, showing the activity areas of the monsters, the areas ruled by different races, and the formations and restrictions set up in the mountains during the historical wars between the righteous and demonic paths.
Don't underestimate this point.
The war between good and evil is an age-old tradition, mostly initiated by the evil side, who invade the heart of the Taihu Spiritual Domain and plunder it. It often happens when resources are scarce.
After countless battles, how many tens of thousands of traps and restrictions remained in the mountains, neither dismantled nor fully functional? These were deadly things—temporarily dug caves, deliberately set up inheritance traps… there were just too many.
It is almost impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator to traverse the two regions across the mountain range. At the very least, one must reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Core Formation stage is even more secure, but there is still a risk of encountering danger.
There was no way around it; the traps accumulated over generations and the trouble caused by the monsters in the mountains were all problems.
Moreover, the data is incomplete and the information is seriously lacking. Some sects have been destroyed and their unique techniques have been lost. They are difficult to dismantle, and the problems have accumulated, gradually leading to the state they are in today.
Advanced maps are strategic resources and are almost never made available to lower-level cultivators.
Wang Yu was also having a headache over this.
The slave-hunting mission seemed to be his only way back to the Taihu Spirit Realm.
The mapping work is progressing slowly, and we can't rush it.
He could only feel comfortable by watching his daily progress. Since the improvement of the Supreme Cold Blood Pill, Wang Yu gained 150 spiritual power for every pill he refined, and the medicinal effect increased by 50%!
He has now taken his second improved version, and the refining process is more than halfway complete. This is his seventh top-grade Cold Blood Pill. Wang Yu once took a high-grade one.
Therefore, his limit for taking 11 pills is that he will develop a dantian barrier, which will greatly reduce the efficacy of the medicine. Currently, there is still a margin of four pills left.
This is an improvement brought about by the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique replacing the Cold Flame characteristic, and it is limited to ice-attribute spirit pills. Wang Yu later wanted to improve the first-tier pill formula, but he failed.
The more basic the pill formula, the harder it is to improve. He had only thought about the Ice Attribute Spirit Restoration Pill before, forgetting that this widely circulated pill had been verified by countless people.
Having been optimized to near perfection, the alchemy system in the cultivation world has no room for improvement until a radical transformation is made.
Unless the formula is completely scrapped and started from scratch, which is a whole different story and involves too much work, he doesn't have that ability yet.
Therefore, after several failures, he simply put it aside.
In terms of spiritual power cultivation, it was 149 units a year ago.
During this period, the placement column brought 2400 strands, or 24 strands, and the self-cultivation increased the number of strands by 200, equivalent to 2 strands.
Refining and improving one and a half top-grade Cold Blood Pills increased cultivation by 225 strands, equivalent to 22.5 strands of spiritual energy.
In just over a year, almost two years, Wang Yu's spiritual energy increased by a total of 48.5 strands. Combined with his original cultivation level, he has now accumulated 197 strands of spiritual energy at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
There are still about a hundred strands of spiritual energy needed to break through.
If the placement area remains unchanged, it will take 6 to 7 years, which is fast for a cultivator with three spiritual roots, but slow for Wang Yu.
But there was nothing he could do in the short term.
Four placement slots, two cultivation technique slots, one Demonic Embryo Secret Incantation, one Flood Dragon Force, and even the Corpse Demon Secret Technique that he had been longing for was rolled down.
His second brother is suffering terribly! ~(;Д`)~
These positions cannot be changed. Changing one's aptitude is a long-term process, and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is not far off. If we push the timeline forward, to replenish one's Qi and blood, it would be best to raise the Dragon Strength to above the seventh tendon level. Now is the perfect time to place them.
