Chapter 76 Lan Ji (Please read on, please vote!)
He didn't understand.
Gu Zhengshun said that the underground palace was a trap set by a Core Formation demon cultivator, whose purpose was to seize another's body and be reborn, and that it would not take more than eight hundred years.
But the Nascent Soul inheritance [Taiyin You Tong] in his hands couldn't be faked. He had already taken all the obvious benefits, so how could it be a trap? There must have been some other unexpected event.
It seems they're not planning on further development.
After all, the first entry yielded very little, which was not in line with the heritage of an ancient sect's ruins. Only Liu Jinxian obtained a second-tier seal magic artifact.
With income not covering expenses and little investment, coupled with too many deaths, there was naturally no incentive for secondary development, and there was little profit to be made.
Since that's the case, Wang Yu had nothing more to say.
He secretly decided that he would go there alone when he had achieved success in his cultivation. There must be other secrets hidden in that stone tablet covered with blood runes.
Thus, three months later.
Nine magnificent, twisted, spiraling mountain peaks came into view. After five years, he had finally returned to the gates of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. A rich spiritual energy rushed towards him.
The scenery was breathtaking, prompting exclamations of admiration for this blessed land. However, the figures flying overhead were all sinister: blood, bones, paper figures, flying coffins, and evil swords...
Beneath the beautiful mountains and rivers lies a blood-soaked, demonic abyss.
"You're finally back, Wang Yu. Meet me under the big locust tree at the edge of the corpse-raising ground in five days."
"No, this time we're going to the Eight Treasures Restaurant in Evil God's Abode."
"Alright."
Gu Zhengshun smiled indifferently, left him at the Cold Blood Workshop of the Reverse Blood Ten Workshops, and couldn't wait to return to Heavenly Corpse Peak. His trip was a complete failure; he only gained the benefits of the Profound Essence Flower and almost made a wasted trip.
He then became very envious of the Foundation Establishment corpse in his hands and was eager to go back to prepare the bargaining chips.
The two sides bid each other farewell.
…………
…………
Located at the center of the Nine Peaks, directly below the Blood Demon Hall, the Reverse Blood Ten Quarters are home to hundreds of thousands of outer and inner disciples. Supply and demand are handled internally, making it quite prosperous.
As long as you avoid dark corners and deserted alleys, there is generally no danger to your life.
Gu Zhengshun will handle the Xuan Gu Mountain mission for him. The necessary bone wood has been handed over, and he only needs to wait five days for the transaction to take the mission reward.
Now, he is going to the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Zhao Shang is both an enemy and a partner. The large amount of magical artifacts, miscellaneous items, corpses, etc. that he collected during this trip all need to be processed by him and converted into spirit stones.
Therefore, peace can be maintained for a while longer.
The premise is that the other party does not go out. If Wang Yu catches him alone, he will kill him without hesitation. After all, he sent Su Qingshan to Xuan Gu Mountain. If it weren't for his superior skills...
Such a person could die at any moment, so of course they should be eliminated as soon as possible. Both sides have each other's weaknesses, and sooner or later one of them will die.
Wang Yu calculated as he walked.
Zhao Shang, Duan Ping, and Steward Liu are his remaining enemies. Steward Liu cut off his arm, and he will definitely avenge this, but the man has been missing for a long time.
He has been judged to be a traitor, and the Mission Hall has a mission to hunt him down. He was taken away a long time ago, and there has been no news of him since.
Duan Ping repeatedly tricked him, broke his promise, and almost killed him. He deserved to die!
It's just not convenient to move him yet, there's no rush.
Upon careful calculation, Wang Yu was astonished to discover that he had virtually no enemies. He had done a good job of eliminating hatred, and he couldn't help but encourage himself to keep up the good work.
He casually pushed open the door of the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
A slender, unfamiliar figure took over from Zhao Shang and was standing behind the counter, looking at an account book in her hand.
Wang Yu frowned, recalling the rumor he had heard before leaving. After hesitating for a moment, he still went up to the front of the road.
"Is Zhao Shangke here?"
The slender woman gave him a flirtatious glance, curtsied slightly, and said, "My name is Lan Ji. I took over as manager of the Ice and Snow Pavilion three years ago. And you are..."
"My name is Wang Yu. I was personally promoted by Master Su. I recently went on a long trip and have just returned."
"I've heard of you. You want to ask about the Essence Abode, right?"
Lan Ji held a round fan and gently fanned herself. A few strands of her black hair swayed as she moved, and her charming and captivating demeanor drew attention. A faint fragrance of orchids wafted into her nostrils.
This sent a shiver down Wang Yu's spine.
Even with his body affected by the Corpse Demon's secret technique, he actually showed signs of rising. What terrifyingly seductive and evil arts this was! After all, to some extent, he could be regarded as a corpse.
Lan Ji, however, can play a trick on a corpse with a dragon raising its head.
—Terrifying!
As expected of Su Zhenchuan's concubine, Zhenchuan Yanxuan is quite skilled.
Wang Yu involuntarily took a few steps back, and seeing that the snow-white, round thing seemed poised to move closer, he quickly spoke:
"Where did Zhao Shang, the former manager of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, go?"
"Zhao Shang is dead, of course."
"Dead?" Wang Yu's pupils shrank, and he immediately had the thought of escaping, but after hearing Lan Ji's next words, he gave up the idea.
"Three years ago, an alchemist named Zhou Tao approached me, wanting me to expose Zhao Shang's theft of Ice and Snow Pavilion's profits. He also voluntarily handed over four thousand spirit stones of embezzled funds."
"Tsk tsk—"
"Such people are rare in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect."
Four thousand spirit stones is no small sum. The amount Zhou Tao took out far exceeded the spirit stones he earned by selling pills with Wang Yu, which can be described as him giving away all his wealth.
Wang Yu guessed that after he left, Zhou Tao wanted to take over the business of the alchemist society. Zhao Shang was a difficult person to get along with, so it was almost impossible for him to get the same conditions as Wang Yu.
The other party will not admit to disrupting the monopoly of the elixir industry or stealing resources from the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
There's a high probability they'll part ways.
The rumors about Lan Ji and Su Zhenchuan are not unfounded and have spread widely. If Zhou Tao were to get serious, there is a good chance he would target Zhao Shang through Lan Ji.
However, he found it hard to believe that someone as shrewd as Zhao Shang would die like this, and it would implicate a large number of people, at least the Foundation Establishment cultivators enshrined by the Ice and Snow Pavilion would be implicated.
He couldn't believe everything he heard; he had to find out more from other sources.
"In that case, I will take my leave. I will visit Steward Lan Ji again next time."
"etc."
Lan Ji stretched out her jade-like arm and used her round fan to block Wang Yu.
"Aren't you from the Ice and Snow Pavilion? I've reserved the Essence Chamber for you, why are you going out?"
“Wang is a spirit slave by origin and is not well-liked. His essence chamber was already sold to an inner disciple by Zhao Shang. It is inappropriate for Steward Lan Ji to privately teach it to me.”
Having said that, he quickly left the Ice and Snow Pavilion, not giving the woman another chance to ask him to stay.
Without a suitable channel, all the messy and numerous low-level magical artifacts, pills, corpses, etc. that he possessed could only be disposed of at low prices.
If Zhao Shang were still alive, he could definitely offer a high price and take advantage of Bingxuelou together. It's a real pity.
There are too many low-level storage bags; one high-level storage bag can hold more. They all need to be streamlined.
in this way.
Five days later.
