Chapter 101 Surrounded (Please subscribe and vote)
And so, another three months passed.
At the end of December, a heavy snowfall turned the area around Spider Mountain into a white wonderland, a silver-clad landscape that was exceptionally enchanting. The vast expanse of white between heaven and earth seemed particularly desolate.
People say that autumn brings sorrow and spring brings joy, and winter also makes people feel lonely; it's a feeling of desolation for all things.
Wang Yu has been researching Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for some time now.
It was discovered that what the disciple with ill intentions said that day, except for the opportunity of the last fragment of the map, was all true, and this was verified through Situ Hong's connections.
Although there is no precedent for abandoning one's spiritual root to build a foundation in the ancient history recorded by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, there are many stories and legends of people with firm will who defied fate.
Just like the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Foundation Establishment spiritual items suitable for Wang Yu are also extremely rare and hard to find.
Even a treasure like the Frosty Spring isn't enough; it has to be a rare gem like the Heavenly Frost Chill. There are no clues, and Wang Yu has no other options besides arduous cultivation.
Day after day, due to the side effects of the Corpse Demon Secret Technique, the second brother remained unresponsive year after year, with nowhere to relax.
To some extent, Wang Yu had almost lost all desire. In this state, his paranoia was also terrifying; he could stay indoors all year round without moving.
He can do it, but others can't.
For example, the gang that had been under surveillance for a long time.
In a stone house convenient for surveillance, seven or eight people were gathered around, verbally attacking Wang.
"Damn, is he a man without desires?"
"They never go on a long trip even once, they can really endure it."
Not far from Spider Mountain is Heart-Eater City, which, although not a large spiritual land like a prefecture city, is still quite prosperous.
Whether they are disciples of Cold Blood Peak or Five Yin Peak, once they take a break, they will go to the city to seek pleasure and have some fun. The spirit stones they earn in Spider Mountain also need to be spent.
"Wait a little longer. If he still doesn't move in the last half month, try to get him to go out."
"That's all we can do."
How do we introduce it?
"This way...this way...it'll probably work."
"Okay, it's settled then!"
With the boss making the decision, the others naturally had no objections.
Half a day has passed.
A glint of light flashed at someone's fingertips, and with a flick of the wrist, a transparent, grayish liquid fell precisely into the roots of the spider heart grass, creating a sunken crater.
It was Wang Yu who was watering the spirit field with the blood of the ghost-eyed spider. Afterwards, he would mix the excrement with the spider web and limb remains, and spread it all over the spirit field to achieve the effect of fertilization.
Just then, two figures riding flying swords flew in from the horizon and quickly landed near the spirit field that Wang Yu was in charge of. The two walked onto the ridge and whispered something to each other.
Wang Yu glanced at it, his ears twitching slightly.
"Quick, let's go, let's go, let's inform the boss that there's an auction in Heartbreak City."
"I heard there was an auction for Foundation Establishment spiritual items. Boss, I've been waiting for a long time. I didn't expect there to be one in Heart Erosion City."
Those two short sentences struck a chord with Wang Yu. As the two walked away, Wang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
This seduction was rather clumsy, but as he probed his storage bag with his divine sense, he discovered that he had accumulated nearly 50,000 spirit stones, and it was time to spend them.
Now that I possess the Frost Flame, I no longer need to rely on earth fire to refine pills, so it's definitely time to buy a suitable pill furnace.
On the other hand, auctions often have different requirements depending on the organization behind them; even the lowest-level auctions require verification.
For example, verifying capital or identity.
Having been cooped up at home for so long, I might as well take a stroll through Heart-Eroding City. While dealing with these troubles, I can also look for ways to increase my cultivation speed. And if I can manage to buy the essence blood of a dragon-type demon beast...
He can then free up a slot to make up for his spell needs.
"Then let's go."

Heart-Eater City is located 300 miles east of Spider Mountain, situated on a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein, and is overseen by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Outside the city, there is a spiritual spring that produces cool spring water, which is a versatile spiritual substance that can be used for brewing tea, refining elixirs, crafting artifacts, making talismans, and so on.
The town was guarded by a market town built around the sacred spring, called "Shanquanfang".
Those who practice martial arts in the vicinity or are disciples of other sects can purchase property here.
There is also an inner workshop within the city that is disguised and is more prosperous than the Mountain Spring Workshop. It mainly serves as a place to entertain cultivators from sects in nearby resource points, such as Spider Mountain, Spirit Peach Mountain, and so on.
Centered on a city, there are at least two or three large resource points and several small resource points nearby.
The Mountain Spring Workshop is exclusively owned by the guardian cultivator. It is a money-making scheme he devised during his term of office. After being investigated by this early Foundation Establishment cultivator, those who meet the requirements can naturally enter the inner workshop.
The city itself is quite complex.
Wang Yu's target is the inner city, where there are also many other industries set up by other forces, which can easily meet the needs of a Qi Refining cultivator.
Driving his flying magical artifact, Black Silk, slowly, Wang Yu set off alone, his speed even slower than when he traveled on foot.
When he was halfway through his journey, he flew over a canyon.
With a few whooshing sounds, a group of men in black robes surrounded him completely, four in front, three behind, and five or six more above and below him.
There were actually more than ten of them. The leader exuded the aura of the ninth level of Qi Refining, one was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, three were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the rest were at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and there was only one at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
"Boy, hand over your storage bag, and I'll spare your life."
Wang Yu seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"Only seeking wealth, not taking lives?"
As he spoke, he opened his robe, revealing a dozen or so storage bags on the inner lining, and said with great interest:
Which one do you want?
The burly man with the thick beard was surprised, but a greedy look appeared in his eyes. He waved his hand and grinned maliciously.
"Hand it all over."
"Ah Qiu—"
Just then, someone sneezed, shivered, and whispered to their companion.
"Have you noticed that the weather has gotten colder and the temperature has dropped so quickly?"
"How could this be... No, boss, this kid is using tricks."
"Then let's do it!!!"
It's too late.
Instead of attacking immediately, the group made verbal threats, which surprised Wang Yu. They were already making a living by robbing people, yet they were still hesitant.
They decided to stall for time and prepare their next move.
He was confident of winning in a direct confrontation, but it would be difficult to wipe them all out, as that would inevitably expose his own intelligence. Eliminating evil completely was the best strategy.
The temperature dropped rapidly, centered on Wang Yu.
The outermost layer of the surrounding circle was rapidly condensing large amounts of ice crystals—it was the Ice Coffin Curse!
Today is different from the past. With his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining and his perfect mastery of magic, the improvement process is going very smoothly.
Giant ice walls, each over ten meters high, quickly closed in.
In the blink of an eye, an ice cage formed above the canyon, resembling a gladiatorial arena.
He quickly swallowed a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill.
Wang Yu held out his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air towards someone.
Swoosh—
