Chapter 198 Second Pit Little Gold Eastern Capital Ruins
After collecting the complete set.
This should be helpful in exploring the Jingzhao Town Evil Prison.
He had previously shared this conjecture with Ding Ming, one of the true disciples of Xiongming Peak.
Although he did not return to Guiling to meet with him afterwards, he still revealed a lot of information, which he could clearly see in the photos.
Ding Ming and Wei Shanze arrived relatively late, yet they were the first to appear inside the towering pillar of light, as if they had triggered something.
As for the final ownership of the "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture", it is not very clear. Fortunately, Jin Miaoshan has obtained the "Asura Killing Scripture", so she can take this opportunity to contact him and ask.
Along with the message from Master Ye, there was also a bead that Wang Yu had seen before; it was the top-grade magic bead used to contact Jin Miaoshan.
After being activated by injecting true essence.
This time, only Kim Myo-sun's face image appeared, and it was somewhat blurry, probably due to the distance between the two sides.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, we meet again."
"Fellow Daoist Jin, just state your conditions."
The main ingredient of the Soul Essence Pill was called the Soul Essence Flower in ancient times, but in this era it is called the Ghost Cry Flower. To be honest, Wang Yu did not know why the other party wanted to negotiate with him personally.
If he could refine the Soul Essence Pill, he was confident that he could truly break through to the Core Formation realm within twenty years.
The reason it takes so long is that the Ancient Soul Technique needs to be perfected first. After all, it is only a second-order divine sense technique, and perhaps it can be pushed to the third order with the help of the placement column.
However, the time required will be incredibly long.
In the sparse footage, Jin Miaoshan's mood seemed so-so. Faced with Wang Yu's impolite questioning, she did not respond, but instead said...
“I know everything you did at Guiling Jinmanlou, so… I also know about the Soul Essence Pill.”
"Then what?"
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow. He had long suspected this situation, but there was nothing he could do. Jin Manlou was just that useful. Guiling City didn't have a Tianbao branch pavilion; that was the reality.
Jin Miaoshan paused slightly before beginning her lengthy explanation.
"The Soul Essence Pill is an ancient formula, originating from the Heavenly Soul Sect, one of the lost sects of ancient times. This sect is unique in its cultivation of divine sense inheritance."
"The founder of the sect even reached the Nascent Soul realm, but unfortunately... he still perished in the Blood Demon Chaos. To some extent, the Heavenly Soul Sect and the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, which inherited the Blood Demon's orthodoxy, are sworn enemies."
"And you, you should possess the legitimate inheritance of the Heavenly Soul Sect, right?"
Wang Yu looked indifferent. The Blood Demon Rebellion in ancient times was also known as the Lost Era. The Blood Demon slaughtered too many forces, almost causing a complete break in the cultivation world.
But what does this have to do with him, Wang?
"You want the inheritance of the Heavenly Soul Sect?"
"Naturally, after you tell me, Jin Manlou will send you thousands of Ghost Cry Flowers, and other materials for refining Soul Essence Pills will also be prepared."
Jin Miaoshan's eyes held a hint of expectation, but Wang Yu failed to notice it due to the blurry image.
But this eagerness made Wang Yu think of a highly probable possibility that almost made him laugh out loud.
After feigning hesitation and waiting for three breaths, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright, the old rules apply, let's sign the Styx Contract."
"I, Wang, will impart all the fundamental cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Soul Sect to you. Fellow Daoist Jin, you only need to fulfill your promise."
"good--"
The Styx Contract is an extremely high-level contract. Even if the two parties are separated by vast distances, they can still present the contract paper in front of each other. The transmission of cultivation techniques is even simpler, as it can be done orally.
As the black paper left the void, Kim Myo-sun stopped trying to hide it and said anxiously.
"Let's begin."
"The soul is the master of the spirit, the spirit is the thought of man, and the mind is the true self. Nourish the spirit by gathering purple qi, strengthen the mind by absorbing the essence of the sun, and cleanse the soul by drawing upon the moon... This is the ancient soul."
Wang Yu slowly and deliberately imparted the cultivation technique without modifying any characters. He had indeed completely taught Jin Miaoshan the second-tier Ancient Soul Technique, as far as he knew.
A moment later.
Kim Myo-sun seemed to have gained some insight, but that calm state only lasted for a short time before she became impatient again.
"And then? What happens next?!"
Wang Yu asked curiously.
"That's all the information I have. Are you satisfied?"
Kim Myo-sun was stunned. The murderous intent boiling in her mind was almost uncontrollable. She said with some difficulty.
"I thought you had at least a third-tier Ancient Soul Technique, since you only have the second-tier part. Don't worry... a thousand complete Soul Essence Pill materials will be delivered to the Guiling City Lord's Mansion within half a month."
The screen then shut down, and the spatial orb turned into dust as if it had been floating in the air before.
Wang Yu frowned deeply, but Jin Miaoshan saw through his intention to watch the show and extort money from him again, and did not fly into a rage.
Instead, they went with the flow, agreeing even at a loss, which suggests that their desire for the Ancient Soul Technique had reached a point where there was no time to lose.
She's not in a good state.
Judging from the bloody shackles and chains, it is very likely that the problem arose after switching to the "Asura Killing Scripture," but whether it is a problem with the person or the technique remains to be seen.
Wang Yu tends to prefer both.
What's so special about the Ancient Soul Technique? Is it just a pure spiritual cultivation method? No... With Jin Manlou's strength, he can definitely find something similar.
That is, the Heavenly Soul Sect's inheritance has special effects.
"Ancient Soul..."
Wang Yu suddenly realized that the Heavenly Soul Sect's fundamental inheritance, the Ancient Soul Technique, could not only be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, but was also equivalent in rank to the Asura Scripture.
The most important thing is that it can endow the soul with the divine power of an "ancient soul".
This supernatural ability grants immunity to over 90% of negative states affecting the soul and spirit in the cultivation world.
"Kim Myo-sun has been corrupted by Asura's killing intent."
This is a very straightforward and obvious result: now we are busy maintaining our ego and looking for opportunities to save ourselves.
"It has nothing to do with me. The thousand sets of materials I received in return are the real feedback that belongs to me. I'll use them when I get back."
The items would arrive gradually within half a month. Wang Yu did not stay in the city lord's mansion for long. After using invisibility and silence spells, he secretly slipped out through the back door.
This trip was his first since arriving in Guiling, and he would return in no more than twenty days. He couldn't disappear for too long, so he was on high alert.
As he made his way toward the ruins of Dongjijing, he would occasionally stop to use the Search for Demons technique to investigate the surrounding area. If any cultivators approached, he would quickly move away.
I will never meet with any monks.
…………
…………
Seven days later, a barren wasteland appeared before his eyes.
These are remnants that were completely wiped out in the previous battle. This land is stained with the blood of cultivators, and in the very center are two bottomless pits.
Those are the traces left by the pillar of light of inheritance.
It is said that afterwards, some monks entered through this pit, attempting to reach the depths of the Dongjijing ruins directly, but none of them have ever been seen again.
Therefore, Wang Yu did not intend to take a shortcut. After getting away from the battlefield, he came to the true entrance of the ruins, an ancient group of buildings on the ground.
Centered around this ancient building complex, there are many temporary houses built by monks, or simply cave-like houses made of mud and rocks.
These people really have a special fondness for caves.
Over time, these temporary settlements left by our predecessors have formed a small community, much like a marketplace, except that the people here rarely interact and are wary of others.
When Wang Yu arrived, he saw only five or six people.
During this period, it is estimated that no more than three hundred people were still exploring, which is a very small number for such a large site.
Based on intelligence...
Wang Yu was extremely familiar with this place.
No matter how much you talk about it, you still don't really know it because you haven't seen or experienced it with your own eyes.
He only has twenty days, so the round trip will take fourteen days. The actual exploration time is six days. He plans to wander around the perimeter, experience it firsthand, and then plan the route for his next in-depth exploration.
This is an ancient ruin that has existed for many years. He will definitely go in more than once, so it's good to get used to it sooner.
Wang Yu displayed the same cautious attitude he had shown during his first long journey to Xuan Gu Mountain, a time that seemed like a very long time ago.
…………
…………
The dark underground.
Two balls of cold flame illuminated the surroundings, and the invisible power of divine sense, accompanied by the colorless ripples of the Mountain Searching and Demon Finding Secret Technique, penetrated the obstacles of buildings and terrain.
The secret technique can transmit every detail of things within a one-kilometer radius back to his mind. This is its maximum power. If the perception is extended in one direction, it can reach up to fifteen kilometers.
After passing through the ancient building complex that had long been cleared from the surface, Wang Yu truly entered the somewhat dangerous underground environment, where darkness was the biggest problem.
Bright light sources will attract the attention of ancient corpse monsters, so using cold flames for lighting is a good idea, as they emit a cold light.
Right now, he is using secret techniques to search for monsters.
Ancient corpses, corpse demons, corpse goblins, ghost bats, and so on, are all active.
"Found it."
A short while later, the light of the cold flame disappeared. Wang Yu used his divine sense in conjunction with the Taiyin Nether Eye to almost see the darkness as nothing. However, his divine sense was consumed much faster than his true essence, and its recovery was much slower.
Therefore, it must be used sparingly. Unlike True Essence, which has a large reserve of top-grade recovery pills, Wang's True Essence has never fallen below 30%.
This is a ghoul.
Standing about three meters tall, in human form, with hands hanging down to the ground, possessing claws containing potent corpse poison, and covered in jet-black fur, some with red fur, symbolizing misfortune and calamity.
With immense strength, lightning-fast movements, and exceptional stealth abilities and near-immortal regeneration, they are nightmare-level assassins for cultivators below the third rank.
In Chiyuan, it is renowned far and wide, and is a true demon. It is a rare species in this ancient ruin. The corpse demon, which is its counterpart, is more common and belongs to the category of demons.
Therefore, despite their similar names, they are fundamentally different in terms of their racial affiliation.
Wang Yu returned to his old ways, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike.
The ghoul was playing with a skull, judging from the remaining flesh and signs of decay, it must have been left over from the last exploration frenzy.
The key point is that something very familiar to Wang Yu was sitting under its rear end.
Ancient? Evil Treasure: Bloodstained Shackles!
The two wooden boards joined together formed a square torture device with two round holes for prisoners' hands, which, together with the shackles that bound the five limbs, formed a complete set.
