Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 112

In this matter he could in fact go to the Law Enforcement Hall of Evil God Market. The three young masters in Foundation Establishment there each represented one of the three most powerful families within the Blood Reversal Sect.

Building ties with them would bring endless benefits.

Especially since he already had a good start. To say nothing else, Zhuo Shouqing would definitely be willing to give him a lift. Zuo Qiuming had already helped him obtain the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse, clearly showing an attitude of investment.

Now that Su Yulong had fallen, the person who had obstructed him from switching allegiance was gone. Going along with the current, he would surely be able to enter Zuo Qiuming’s command.

But the problem lay here. Among these three young masters, he had always considered himself a subordinate under Zhuo Shouqing. He could not rashly pledge loyalty elsewhere.

Moreover, before the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse was completed, Zuo Qiuming’s investment in him would go no further. The correct method would be to wait until after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, then approach him. That would surely secure him a good post.

This path, if he wanted maximum benefit, was best reserved for future use.

For now, he could only work harder himself, running around more, gathering more information. That would also allow his judgment of the sect’s internal situation to be clearer.

This search took half a month.

At the same time, if he wanted to accept the slave-hunting missions of Cold Blood Peak, he could not shed his identity as a disciple of this peak. Therefore the Foundation Establishment cultivator he chose should preferably be a member of this peak.After much consideration, Wang Yu counted only two suitable candidates he could trust.

1. Yan Ling. This person had just returned to the sect and was currently recruiting followers. Choosing to submit now was quite appropriate. But considering he might in the future rely on Zuo Qiuming, it would not be a good fit.

2. Tantai Chan. This was the first Foundation Establishment cultivator Wang Yu had ever met. Both their encounters had gone very smoothly. She was worthy of trust, but her slave identity was very sensitive. She had once ordered him not to contact her again.

If not choosing these two as recommenders, then seeking another Foundation Establishment cultivator carried risk. To be honest, he worried his spirit stones would be swallowed without gain.

The recommendation fee was as high as ten thousand spirit stones, which was essentially buying contribution with spirit stones. Normally this path was taken by late-stage Qi Refining wandering cultivators.

Since he did not wish to waste time completing contribution-point missions, this was the only path left.

"Headache."

Inside his cave-dwelling, Wang Yu reclined on a wicker chair, his legs resting on a low table, holding in his arms a little fox pure white all over, its pink eyes half-closed.

It was only the length of a forearm, its ears drooping, the corners of its mouth curled up. Cute yet faintly comical, it made him involuntarily lift it and take a deep breath.

This little fox was a Snowjade Fox. For demonic beasts, unless they were of a special type, their intelligence in first-rank was similar to that of a three-year-old child, unable to remember things.

Only after growing stronger would they possess human-like wisdom.

Once cultivated to fourth-rank, comparable to a human Nascent Soul, they could transform into human form.

Therefore before the Snowjade Fox, Wang Yu did not mind revealing his childish side. It was said that men remain boys until death. In his previous life he had been a promising youth living in an age of peace.

Reborn into the cultivation world, he had already spent sixteen years as a pampered young master. Only after being captured by the Blood Reversal Sect did he truly begin to change.

After all, living twice to thirty years of age, and once to sixty years, the mentality was entirely different.

The body was young, and naturally the heart was young as well.

For example, Wang Yu this year was thirty-two, yet in appearance little different from a youth of twenty. Without taking a Youth Preserving Pill, he would not begin to age until seventy.

At this moment.

Pressing the Snowjade Fox’s soft belly against his face and rubbing hard, listening to its sharp squeaks and struggles, he gradually released his irritability. Then, suddenly standing up from his languid state.

"Tantai Chan, it is decided to be you."

Throwing the Snowjade Fox into his spirit beast pouch, Wang Yu set off immediately.

...

Half an hour later.

Evil God Market, Tantai Medicine Garden.

Knock knock knock.

He struck the inverted bat-shaped door knocker. He could sense within the familiar aura of Foundation Establishment, but it seemed there was also another aura slightly weaker.

"It is you?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out by his ear, tinged with some surprise, clearly noticing his cultivation realm. As expected of an alchemist, her divine sense was much stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment.

It had to be known that even if the Night Concealment was not activated, it could still help him obscure aura, voice, and realm.

After waiting a while without hearing more, he mustered courage and said.

"Wang has come to request an audience with Senior Tantai."

Again he waited in silence for a long while.

The small side door next to the main gate suddenly opened. Wang Yu heard the sound and hurried over.

Since he could meet her, then he had the confidence to achieve his goal.

After entering the familiar medicine garden, beneath the wind chimes and drifting veils of Chuanfeng Hall, sat a woman with a proud chest, peerless appearance, and eyes as cold as an iceberg.

On her full and shapely thighs, the lotus-leaf shaped white hollow skirt fell to both sides, revealing a pair of crystal-clear long legs. Her feet were placed closely together.

Around her calves, circles of golden metal wound up to just below the knees, carved with splendid rose patterns.

There was also a little white-haired girl, sitting on Tantai Chan’s lap. She blinked her large eyes at him and waved.

“Do you still remember me? Yu Tangtang!”

So it was her. Of course Wang Yu remembered. Many years ago he had met this girl who looked only five or six years old. According to her own words, she was the offspring of the Sect-Guardian Demonic Flood Dragon.

The change in Tantai Chan’s attitude was clearly because of Yu Tangtang.

With a thought, Wang Yu quickly called out.

“Sister Tangtang, I am Wang Yu. It has been a long time.”

“Hehe.”

Yu Tangtang broke free from Tantai Chan’s arms and ran over excitedly. “You really still remember me.”

However, Wang Yu keenly noticed that when Yu Tangtang showed closeness, the coldness in Tantai Chan’s eyes nearly spilled over, filled with hostility toward him.

Looking at it this way, his earlier guess was indeed correct.

The relationship between the two of them was that of Spirit Slave and master.

“Hey, Wang Yu, what are you doing here? Did you take another task to maintain the medicine garden?”

“No.” Wang Yu shook his head.

“I wish to ask Senior Tantai to be my recommender, to recommend me for promotion to an inner sect disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Tantai Chan refused immediately.

“Impossible. Leave.”

Wang Yu raised his brow.

“Ten thousand spirit stones.”

“I said, no.”

“Not even a little room for discussion?”

“None.”

“Very well then.” Wang Yu shrugged and turned to leave.

Yet Yu Tangtang suddenly grabbed his hand, her voice somewhat anxious. “You are not allowed to go.”

Wang Yu understood clearly. The real reason he came to find Tantai Chan was Yu Tangtang. The key was that third-rank Flood Dragon Inner Core.

Such a thing would be of tremendous use to Yu Tangtang, who was herself of Flood Dragon blood. It was far more important than Wang Yu using it as a core-forming spiritual material. For many years he had taken secret body-tempering medicines infused with the power of this inner core.

So he carried some of its aura on him. Yu Tangtang had smelled it. His goal was thus accomplished.

If he could bring it out and trade with her, exchange it for second-rank Foundation Establishment spiritual materials, plus other rare treasures, along with Tantai Chan recommending him into the inner sect, then he could take the Spirit Slave capturing mission on Cold Blood Peak, and more.

Even if he lost some value compared to the inner core itself, by accomplishing his entire plan he would actually come out ahead.
