Chapter 394 Ancient Beast Ancestral Mountain
For a demon beast to gain intelligence at a lower level, it must have the support and guidance of its clan, or be born with a bloodline of earth-grade or higher. Even so, it is extremely difficult for it to speak.
Out of curiosity, Wang Yu went over to investigate.
Looking through the window, you can see kittens sitting on cushions, each with a piece of white paper in front of them, slowly reading the words on it.
Black, white, yellow, gray, blue, raccoon stripes, tiger stripes, solid colors... they have everything. Wang Yu glanced at them a few times, and the kittens also looked over. Several lively ones immediately left the cushion.
He was yelling "Ahhh!" at me.
At the front of the school, the person in charge of teaching was actually a cat demon in human form. Although it had transformed into human form, it still retained some characteristics of the demon race.
During their eye contact, Wang Yu nodded and then withdrew.
Although he was quite curious about the Spirit Awakening Inheritance, it was of little use to him, so there was no need to delve into it; he could just take a quick look.
Leave the Cat Demon Academy.
After wandering around for a while and getting to know the terrain of the place well, Wang Yu returned to the accommodations that had been arranged for him.
He will reside in the cat demon territory for several years, waiting for the Demon King's Banquet to begin. During this time, besides secluded cultivation, he will focus on the Thunder Corpse.
The Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique is only a third-tier corpse refining secret method.
They have already achieved perfect enlightenment.
If we don't learn new ones, we can only place them for further advancement. Given the current queue in the placement slots, learning new corpse refining techniques would be more reasonable.
It won't be possible to get it in a short time.
It can be used to assist in the breakthrough of the Thunder Corpse, but its effect will be relatively weak. However, it is still usable. The world is just a huge makeshift operation, and so is cultivation.
It's good enough if it's barely usable. There's no need to think about whether he can continue to advance in the short term. Wang Yu plans to set up a small feng shui arrangement here that is beneficial for corpse refining.
That night.
When they found Lei Yao again, they asked if there were any rare and precious materials in the Northern Broken Realm Mountains that could increase comprehension. And guess what? There really were!
—Enlightenment Tea!
This top-tier treasure for enlightenment, renowned in many places, can resolve a multitude of accumulated questions in one cup, and its price is extremely high.
They are sold by the piece, and demand still exceeds supply.
Deep within the Northern Broken Realm Mountains, there are several Enlightenment Tea Trees, which are tributes to Demon Kings. Any surplus production is sold to Tianbao Pavilion and Jinmanlou.
The chances of an individual buying it are slim.
If he could obtain the [Heavenly Enlightenment Platform], it would actually be more suitable for Wang Yu to use in seclusion. After experiencing it with the Blood-Eyed Demon Flood Dragon, he became somewhat addicted to it.
In addition, Lei Yao also told him.
The Northern Demon Clan's Dragon-Python Clan possesses several damaged Heavenly Enlightenment Platforms. Acquiring one would be quite a good idea, so Lei Yao delivered the message for him the following day.
However.
After several days of hard work, the message disappeared without a trace, without any response, not even a word of rejection, showing that they completely looked down on him.
This is really infuriating.
Without any definite information on aids to enhance comprehension, Wang Yu resumed his seclusion. Before entering, he specifically inquired about information from the demon cat clan, preparing to refine a batch of pills for trade.
The demon race has a wide range of elixirs in need, and any kind of elixir is widely popular, which is related to the characteristics of their race.
The output of the various arts of cultivation is too scarce, so people will take whatever they can get. However, if you want to achieve a satisfactory result at the treasure exchange meeting of the Demon King's Banquet, you will need to consider other options.
Wang Yu should refine elixirs that enhance qi and blood, physical constitution, or demon essence; there is never a shortage of market for such elixirs.
The higher the grade, the more expensive it is. Even if it exceeds the average price, it will be snapped up and is more popular than a single spirit item.
As a master alchemist, he also possesses the most ancient inheritance—the art of demon refining! Based on the existing spiritual items, he will cooperate with the demon cat clan to purchase some rare spiritual items from them.
Once the elixir is refined, a portion will be sold to them first.
It's a win-win situation.
After all preparations were completed, Wang Yu officially began his seclusion. The growth rate of the demonic energy in his body was not slow, but it would not increase too dramatically in just a few years.
A few hundred drops would be good enough. There's also the secret technique, Heaven's Lock, where spatial silver patterns are taking shape, and segments of spatial chains are continuously growing.
As the spatial power reflected by the placement bar gradually grows.
Wang Yu's strength has been steadily improving!
…………
…………
Four years later.
On the mountainside of a sacred mountain in the territory of the Demon Cat Clan, the rich fragrance of elixir formed a misty, colorful cloud of smoke, which turned into wisps of crimson clouds that drifted into the air. Just one whiff of it could invigorate one to the extreme.
Three cat demons in human form stood not far away, their faces full of admiration: "Fellow Daoist Wang's alchemy skills are so profound. He has been refining pills for years without ever making a mistake."
A mid-stage fourth-tier male cat demon nodded in deep agreement, deeply moved.
"The fact that the pills can be made so fragrant every time, gathering into clouds, shows that the quality of the pills is not low and there must be a lot of top-grade ones. This time, I can say that I owe a debt of gratitude to Lei Yao and Fellow Daoist Wang."
The last cat demon was a sexy female demon with orange hair and cat ears, who was also the head teacher of the academy.
She said.
"I wonder if the Dragon Python Clan will regret it when they find out. A fourth-level alchemist didn't even bother to reply. This Demon King's Banquet is going to be quite a show."
The demon race desperately needs these aids for cultivation.
While directly consuming spiritual herbs can also yield many benefits, it is clearly not as effective as refining them into elixirs, which offer the advantages of increased quantity and more targeted enhancement.
Given the extreme scarcity of fourth-tier resources, it is essential to make the most of every bit of power; simply consuming them would be a waste.
Not long after.
Amidst the fragrant clouds and mist, the gate to Wang Yu's cave was fully opened, and he strode out, immediately seeing the three transformed demons waiting there.
He bowed respectfully from afar, and said confidently.
"I have successfully completed my mission."
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Refining the Great Pill is exhausting and harmful to your health. Please come with us to the Fragrant Hall for a chat. The special delicacies of the demon race will surely make you linger."
"Hahaha, Brother Hei's invitation is an invitation I must have a good experience."
"Let's go, let's go."
This wave of welcoming ceremonies gently lifted him up. Although Wang Yu had somewhat anticipated it, he still felt a sense of satisfaction when the moment actually arrived.
The four of them walked together toward the Bo Xiang Palace.
This palace is divided into two parts, one large and one small. Both were made by drying the mint, grinding it into powder, and then mixing it with gold, iron, and stone materials to finally create the entire palace.
The four entered a small hall.
It is only suitable for use by transformed demons and young cat demons. As soon as he entered, Wang Yu felt a chill in his head, a refreshing fragrance wafted into his nose, and his mind instantly became clear.
Several cat demons also showed expressions of ecstasy.
"This was built by the ingenuity of your human craftsmen. The children in the tribe love to play in this Fragrant Palace and often hide inside to spend the night."
Wang Yu nodded in understanding. It was a special variety of catnip, and its scent was indeed intoxicating.
Once inside the hall, the banquet had already been prepared.
The feast was overflowing with delicacies from land and sea, and even spirit wine was prepared, as his gaze fell directly on the wine pot.
The cat demon instructor explained.
"This is a fruit wine made by the White-haired Spirit Monkey clan, also known as Monkey Wine. It is rich in spiritual energy and can be considered a top-grade third-tier spiritual wine."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu reached into his Sea Heart Ring.
He also took out a wine gourd, but it was blood-red, the Blood Fiend One Yuan Gourd. There weren't many opportunities to use this thing after leaving the Blood Abyss Holy Land.
He simply used it as a wine gourd. The third-tier Blood Brewing Stone that he had retrieved from Drunken Immortal Lake last time was thrown into the Blood Fiend Gourd, and a lot of pure wine extracted from spirit grains was poured into it.
I took some time to prepare this after the bleeding incident.
It's been several decades since then, so it's the perfect time to take it out and have a taste. Blood wine has a unique flavor, and it's even more to the liking of the demon race.
Because it really does smell of blood.
"Come, let's taste it together."
"Please, fellow Daoist."
Let's go together.
After exchanging pleasantries and toasts, the Nascent Soul cultivators grew quite close.
The dishes were delicious and visually appealing, and many of the monster meats from various races were quite to Wang Yu's liking, especially the meat of a type called Jade Cup Bullfrog, which was incredibly fresh, smooth, and chewy.
Spicy, salty, and savory, it's so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue.
After taking it, it can remove dirt and grime, and whiten the skin. He ate the whole plate of Jade Cup Red Moon Tea. Wang Yu hadn't eaten so heartily in a long time.
The last time I ate was when I was the lord of Guiling City.
I really miss it.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, they finally got down to business.
The black cat spoke first, as he was the most powerful among those present. Wang Yu addressed him as Brother Black. He also had a white cat as his companion, whom he called Sister-in-law Cat. Finally, it was Instructor Orange.
It must be said that the names of the cat demon clan are all very interesting.
Furthermore, their mindset is fundamentally different from that of humans; they completely disregard the fact that their names would cause them to lose the dignity of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
They treat younger members of the clan and outsiders with completely different attitudes.
Wang Yu is currently the one being flattered, and Black Cat carefully considers his words before speaking, fearing that offending Wang Yu would sever this connection.
In the vast Northern Demon Clan, almost none of them are capable of alchemy.
The Demon Cat Clan relies entirely on a few relatives who look after the major sects and occasionally sell some high-end resources to help them out. They are very attentive to the importance of distribution channels.
This experience might have come from Jin Manlou.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, may I ask how many kinds of elixirs you refined during this seclusion... and how many of them were of superior grade?"
Wang Yu became even more energetic when this was mentioned.
"Due to limited materials and some imperfect mastery of the pill formulas, only eighteen pills were produced, six of which can be traded to you."
Although some of the materials came from the Demon Cat's Treasure Vault, Wang Yu paid real money for them and couldn't give them away for free; at most, he would offer a small discount.
The reason he was able to produce six pills was because the demon cat clan, with a try-it-out mentality, sold him a rare fourth-tier main ingredient spiritual medicine.
If they were sold back now, the price would at least triple.
But the three of them were still overjoyed.
"Two fourth-grade high-quality Saint Abyss Demon Essence Pills, and the other four are all mid-grade. Each pill increases demon essence by more than two hundred drops, and the refining time is about one year."
Taking pills is a form of cultivation, and a year-long refining time shouldn't cause problems like the weakening of demonic essence. As for the purpose of the remaining twelve spirit pills...
The three transformed demons wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
After achieving the transaction, Wang Yu had a considerable number of top-grade spirit stones in his possession.
At this moment.
Instructor Ju said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, after the Demon King's Banquet, will you be returning to us? Could we entrust you with refining pills again? The reward is negotiable!"
Six pieces are not a small number, but they are not enough to divide among the others.
Wang Yu thought for a moment.
"I will challenge the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain. It is unclear how long it will take. I will probably only participate in the final treasure exchange at the Demon King Banquet."
"As for whether we'll come back... we'll have to wait and see. By the way, when are we leaving?"
"That's what Blackie replied."
"We'll set off once Miss Lei returns. Things are getting increasingly chaotic in Fengzhou lately, and there's supposedly a mysterious force causing trouble."
The situation in Fengzhou was already in complete chaos.
After the Ice River Pass was breached, the cultivators from Taihu Lake launched a large-scale invasion, which even affected the business of the two major merchant guilds. War broke out in various places, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
The latest news concerns the sect leader of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
It is said that the opponent appeared on the battlefield of Blood Abyss Prefecture and fought a great battle against the old demon of the Hehuan Demon Sect, which brought a lot of peace to the battlefield of Blood Abyss Prefecture. If this trend continues...
Soon, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will head north to suppress the chaos in Fengzhou. The only way for Taihu to deal with this is to send a powerful expert of the same level to fight back.
This level of beating is merely an appetizer.
Before a full-scale war has even begun, it remains at the level of small-scale skirmishes. When the Heavenly Array Masters are deployed to begin the Dragon-Binding and Meridian-Shifting, it will be completely transformed into a meat grinder, devouring endless lives.
What Wang Yu was particularly curious about was the situation following the disappearance of the young sect leader.
There's a 90% chance Lu Chenzhou will be devoured by the sect leader. Whether Zhuo Shouyun's coveted Blood Demon Body was successfully reconstructed, or whether it was devoured by the sect leader, remains to be seen.
This allowed the other side to appear on the battlefield of Blood Abyss Prefecture.
These are all unknowns. There's also Xie Xie'an. After obtaining the complete "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture," his cultivation level soared to the peak of the Core Formation stage during his Blood Abyss encounter.
The last message was that they had gone to the desolate ancient plains.
It's obvious they're heading towards the sealed location of the ancient demon [Slaughter], intending to use the demonic energy of Slaughter to condense their nascent soul. This person's information is crucial to whether the path to becoming a deity will be smooth.
Wang Yu was also quite concerned. If all else failed, he would have to rely on himself to deduce the path to the Nascent Soul stage, provided that he could obtain a cultivation technique at the Nascent Soul level.
In this respect, the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture" is quite capable, and after its derivation and advancement, it is enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. However, he has not yet grasped the essentials of the Divine Transformation method.
However, even if one is capable of cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, from a long-term perspective, an upgrade is still necessary, provided that the Divine Transformation inheritance given by the ancient demon is without problems.
Wang Yu was even able to deduce the cultivation method for the sixth rank from this.
We still need to wait for the results here.
He had no intention of getting deeply involved in the early stages of the war. He had left three spies in Fengzhou, and he would definitely know about them when the time came.
So there's no rush.
On the contrary, he was very interested in the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity to give it a try.
evening.
With Lei Yao's return, the four of them rode in the aerial war chariot of the demon cat clan, while the black cat couple went to attend the demon king's banquet.
Although they had no intention of vying for the title of one of the nine demon kings and the Holy Lord of the Northern Demon Clan, it didn't stop them from joining in the fun, perhaps even recognizing a senior brother along the way, and thus gaining some influence.
A new dynasty will have new rules, and those living here must participate in them, otherwise they will easily end up pleasing neither side.
Lei Yao accompanied Wang Yu and used her connections to help him obtain the qualification to challenge the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain.
This flight lasted for a full half month.
This day.
The majestic and precipitous mountains came into view, and Wang Yu immediately understood that what lay ahead was the Ancient Beast Ancestral Mountain!
