Chapter 114
She wanted to see how Wang Yu would bring this to an end.
As for this cultivator who burned away his lifespan to forcibly cross the limit of his aptitude, her memory of him was still quite deep. In her eyes, he was clearly the type who would stop at nothing for strength.
Such a person, ruthless and unreliable, without relatives or friends to restrain him, was the kind most likely to take things to extremes.
Deceiving Yu Tangtang, that little rich girl, seemed like a decent option.
At the side, Wang Yu noticed that Tantai Chan had gone silent and wore a somewhat strange expression, but he did not bother to guess what she was thinking.
He was still worried whether the other party would choose to devour him, the supposed partner in this transaction.
At the same time.
In the central region of the Nine Peaks of the Blood Reversal Sect, behind the Blood Demon Hall.
Yu Tangtang had just slid down from the wings of the Tri-colored Dragon Sparrow. Acting all sneaky, she tiptoed across the smooth floor paved with blood-jade glazed tiles.
Each time she passed a palace, her small chest rose and fell noticeably, clearly trying to take deep breaths to relax her nerves. Yet she had no idea that her little act had already been noticed.Several divine senses intertwined above, passing messages between them. To an outsider it might have looked like whispers, but in truth they were openly mocking Yu Tangtang. The little girl simply could not hear it.
“This little ancestor, what trick is she playing now. Why isn’t the colorful bird playing hide-and-seek with her?”
“Let me go ask.”
“No need. Look at her direction, she’s heading straight for the old flood dragon’s treasury.”
“Heh, I’ll go loosen up the restriction a bit, leave a small gap open.”
“Blood Axe, if blame falls, you will shoulder it yourself.”
“What’s there to fear. Isn’t the old flood dragon’s treasury meant for his daughter anyway. This isn’t the first time, and don’t tell me you haven’t gone in for a peek yourselves.”
“Hehe, just a few low-ranked spirit items, nothing worth seeing. Go on, go on.”
Oblivious Yu Tangtang had no idea her actions were being observed on a sect-wide scale, practically broadcast live.
Instead, she thought herself nimble and clever, destined for great things. After half an hour of fighting a battle of wits against thin air, she finally reached her father’s treasury.
The Blood-eyed Demon Flood Dragon, as the Sect-Guardian Nascent Soul beast, had an immense bond with every successive master of the Blood Demon Hall, who was also the head of the Blood Reversal Sect.
His cave-dwelling lay within the nine-thousand-foot blood pool.
But the treasury was located in a lotus pond before one of the palaces. At first glance it appeared utterly ordinary, without the slightest trace of mystery. Yet it actually contained a hidden world, impossible to see through.
Yu Tangtang looked left and right, saw no one around, then rushed forward in three steps, leapt elegantly, and with a graceful dive entered the lotus pond. Not a single ripple was stirred, and her entire figure vanished.
Moments later.
Within a cavern where rainbow treasures glimmered, Yu Tangtang stood with hands on her hips, enjoying her little triumph before getting down to business.
“Foundation Establishment spiritual items, Body-refining Foundation Establishment spirit items… let me see.”
“You… it will be you!”
……
……
“They are here!”
In Evil God Market, within the Tantai Medicine Garden.
Tantai Chan, who had been waiting to watch the drama unfold, suddenly stood up. Seeing Wang Yu still sipping tea, she quickly urged,
“Get up quickly, Senior Colorful Dragon has arrived.”
Wang Yu felt helpless. In truth he was also somewhat uneasy.
“Tantai senior, please avoid for a moment.”
“You! Hmph.”
The sound of the door slamming shut was loud and clear. Yu Tangtang’s voice came from afar.
“Wang Yu, Wang Yu! I am back.”
Up in the sky, the shadow of the Tri-colored Dragon Sparrow flickered and vanished. Yu Tangtang landed smoothly, just in time to stand on the steps of Chuangfeng Hall.
In her hand she held a Foundation Establishment spirit item.
The first item was deep purple in color, shaped like a lotus flower, exuding a cold and lonely fragrance. Its yin attribute was extremely obvious.
The second was a transparent crystal bottle. Inside, golden liquid refracted through the glass, shining brilliantly with a faint chanting sound, mysterious beyond compare.
“Nether Spring Lotus and Vajra Liquid, both fit your requirements.”
Wang Yu took them and examined them, quietly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although the Nether Spring Lotus was not the very best Foundation Establishment spiritual item and could not compare to supreme treasures like Heavenly Cold Ice Qi that could even benefit those with Wasted Spiritual Roots, it was still a rare and superior-grade item.
Using it for Foundation Establishment, with Wang Yu’s yin-ice spiritual roots that were almost no better than mixed spiritual roots, would barely be sufficient.
As for the Vajra Liquid, this was a Buddhist treasure. In the ancient era many years ago, there had once been Buddhism in this world, but it had long since been wiped out.
At that time, many spiritual items had mutated under Buddhist influence.
One such tree was the Vajra Bodhi Tree. The liquid that flowed from its trunk was called Vajra Liquid. It was extremely effective for body refinement and could also aid one in comprehending Zen.
This tree was special. The longer it listened to Buddhist chants, the higher its grade became. By now it had nearly disappeared from both the righteous and demonic domains.
The portion Yu Tangtang produced should have been obtained from some ruin or secret realm. It could not be replicated. Used for breaking through to Body Refining Foundation Establishment, it was absolutely qualified, even surpassing the Nether Spring Lotus.
“How about it? Didn’t your Sister Tangtang keep her word!”
The little girl’s expression was full of pride. Wang Yu also sincerely expressed his gratitude. “Many thanks.”
Since that was the case, Wang Yu had no reason to hesitate. He groped for a while before finally finding the storage pouch containing the Flood Dragon Inner Core.
He took it out and handed it to Yu Tangtang. The matter was settled.
“Your sealing method is truly formidable. Not a trace of aura leaked.”
“Barely adequate.”
Once Yu Tangtang scraped open the wax seal, the aura of a third-rank Flood Dragon Inner Core immediately surged forth. Sharing the bloodline of a flood dragon, if she used this to break through to Core Formation, her bloodline would advance further.
Perhaps in the future she might even gain the opportunity to transform into a true dragon.
Using a flood dragon core to solidify her foundation was undoubtedly extravagant. Yu Tangtang was more than satisfied, patting Wang Yu’s shoulder.
“In the future, if you have any good items, don’t hesitate to come to your Sister Tangtang. I will never swindle you.
“By the way, you mentioned before that you needed two small favors from Little Chan.”
“That is correct.”
“Chan’er, Chan’er!” Yu Tangtang immediately called out. Tantai Chan, who had just gone inside, quickly walked back out, showing no trace of a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s dignity.
“Wang Yu has two favors for you. Listen to his instructions. I am leaving now. I will come find you again when I have time.”
“Yes.”
Yu Tangtang came and went in a hurry, clearly eager to study how to use the flood dragon inner core. Tantai Chan, however, looked even more complicated than before.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
“Tell me what you need.”
Wang Yu wanted to make a joke, thinking of his useless second brother, but decided against it. He went straight to business.
“First, you recommend me to become an inner sect disciple. Second, you assign me to carry out a Spirit Slave capturing mission.”
Tantai Chan’s willow-like brows knitted tightly.
“Recommending you is not a problem. Helping you advance to the inner sect is not difficult. Many of our fellow disciples will give me face.
“But the capturing mission is different. It concerns Spirit Slaves. That is the privilege of True Disciples. I cannot interfere.”
Wang Yu shook his head.
“You can interfere.”
“On what grounds?”
“The three chief stewards of the Stone House District on Cold Blood Peak belong to Su Yulong, Wei Zhong, and Yan Ling. Two of them have already been stripped of their True Disciple status, leaving only Steward Liu under Yan Ling.
“Now that Yan Ling the True Disciple has stepped forward to compete for the Nascent Soul inheritance, all you need to do is leverage your influence as an alchemist, give him some support, and then arranging for me to enter the Spirit Slave capturing team will be a simple matter.”
