Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 310

Lu Chenzhou did not stop Wang Yu and quietly watched him leave.

Wang Yu immediately sent a message through a sound-transmission jade slip to Zhuo Shouqing, telling him not to come out for the time being.

If he were caught by such an unmanageable fellow, who knew what would happen.

It really was miserable. Enduring it would not be easy.

After returning to Cold Blood Peak, Wang Yu first started refining pills. He refined the supreme-grade spirit pills requested by various partners. This was the first batch he would deliver.

With this, the Alchemy Hall would definitely not be able to sit still.

He was still wondering when the Blood-Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon would summon him, when his neighbor Xue Ying, who seemed to keep an eye on him at all times, noticed that the formation light at his cave mansion dimmed.

She immediately brought people over.

Reception hall.

"Brother Wang, this is the Xue clan’s elder, Elder Xue Liuyun. I brought him here to discuss possible cooperation in pill refinement.""Welcome."

Wang Yu smiled warmly, his attitude incomparably enthusiastic.

Xue Liuyun was surprised. He glanced thoughtfully at Xue Ying and seemed to understand the hidden matters. Stroking his beard, he tried to assume the posture of a senior.

"Erm... Little Friend Wang Yu, I want to ask if you can refine the Frost Snow Pill."

After seeing that Wang Yu did not object to the form of address "little friend," his speech grew more fluent and he went straight to the point.

The Frost Snow Pill was exclusive to the Xue clan. It provided immense support to the cultivation of their technique, the Drifting Flower Snow Jade True Art.

One pill was equal to three of other types.

"As long as it is a third-rank pill, there is no problem. Of course, I will need to study the pill formula beforehand. Since this is our first collaboration, it would be best to prepare at least three sets of ingredients."

"That is agreeable."

Since he was here, Xue Liuyun had naturally investigated Wang Yu beforehand. He would not trust Xue Ying's words alone.

On top of that, several other clans had already adopted new cooperation methods. Before the Xue clan invested anything, they would be able to verify whether Wang Yu truly possessed the ability to refine supreme-grade spirit pills.

This sincere cooperative attitude genuinely surprised Wang Yu.

He realized that Xue Ying had not shared this matter with her clan.

She had her own plans.

However, would she dare consume the supreme-grade pills he personally refined? If she was confident she could hide her flaws from him, then she was far too naive.

The pills supplied to the Xue clan would definitely contain some "special extras."

That was certain.

If not for being held back by matters concerning Zhuo Shouqing, he would have already begun setting his trap. As long as Xue Ying left the sect, he had countless ways to deal with her.

After discussing the date and payment with Xue Liuyun, Xue Ying did not display excessive intimacy this time and returned with the clan elder.

Wang Yu prepared to enter a short seclusion.

He would break through first.

Several days later, on the Profound Ice Bed, the three-tailed snow fox, which had advanced to late second-rank, had completely devolved into a mascot. Even so, it still had potential.

With Wang Yu's supreme-grade pills as assistance and after undergoing a baptism of dragon-vein energy, it lacked only a single opportunity to advance its bloodline to Earth Grade. Regardless of who owned it, it was worth nurturing.

It could not exert much effect while following him only because his growth was too fast. It simply could not keep up.

Mid-October, the fifth year of Wang Yu's life as an elder.

During this time, the Idle Slot and his own cultivation increased by a total of 441 units of mana. Combined with the effects of the supreme-grade Guanghan Pill, his mana successfully crossed the threshold of two thousand strands.

Core Formation Fifth Layer. Breakthrough.

Without involving late-stage bottlenecks, these minor breakthroughs meant nothing to his aptitude. Once mana reached the necessary amount, he could advance.

One noteworthy point:

The supreme-grade Guanghan Pill was excessively domineering. Though said to take three years to refine, in truth, this referred to three years of full-time effort. A cultivator had to invest all their time and effort into the refinement process.

But Wang Yu was running around, refining pills, practicing divine abilities.

He barely invested time into refining the pill.

As a result, its refinement was extremely slow. So far, he had only digested one-third. He estimated he would need to focus for another two years.

From the results he had seen, this pill would greatly shorten the time needed to reach the peak of Core Formation Sixth Layer. It was time to prepare for the pill required to break the late-stage bottleneck.

The requirement for Core Formation Fifth Layer peak was four thousand strands of mana.

Not excessive. It would not take long.

In the cultivation room.

He withdrew his surging aura. His divine sense and physical body were both refined under the cleansing of mana, rising alongside his foundational realm.

Especially his divine sense. Ever since crossing the late third-rank threshold, its cultivation speed had skyrocketed. He felt he was not far from the peak of third-rank.

Whether he could achieve fourth-rank divine sense in advance, he was uncertain.

He would simply do his best.

A few days later, the person Wang Yu had been waiting for finally arrived. He had not shut himself in long seclusion. He was waiting.

"Wang Yu!"

From a distance, Yu Tangtang’s childish voice echoed. She shot into Wang Yu like a rocket, crashing into him like a mountain.

Wang Yu grunted softly.

He slipped his hand under her arm, hugged her, and spun several times to dissipate the force before finally stabilizing. He said helplessly:

"Be gentle. You are going to kill me."

"Hehe."

Yu Tangtang revealed snow-white teeth and flipped onto Wang Yu's shoulder. Behind her, Tantai Chan followed belatedly, her chest bouncing like an avalanche, shocking to behold.

"Tangtang... Elder Wang Yu!"

"Mm."

He nodded. Yu Tangtang puffed up proudly.

"Months ago, the spirit pills you asked Little Chan'er to bring back stunned my father. When he heard you came out of seclusion, he sent Tangtang to find you. He wants to meet you."

Finally.

He had arrived.

Wang Yu let out a sigh of relief. At a time like this, only a powerful backer could give him a sense of security. With his connection to Yu Tangtang, the chances of the Blood-Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon becoming part of his background were very high.

"Since Senior Demonic Flood Dragon has invited me, I naturally must go. This matter should not be delayed. I happen to be free now, so let us go immediately."

"Great. Come on, Wang Yu. I will take you to visit my cave abode. It is much more fun than your cold and gloomy place."

"Very well."

Wang Yu smiled and flicked his hand, releasing a strand of spiritual power that wrapped around Tantai Chan. The three of them flew toward the Blood Demon Hall together.

Yes.

This trip was precisely to enter that extremely mysterious palace.

The Blood Demon Hall had always been enigmatic. Since he joined the Blood Reversal Sect, he had never seen anyone enter it. Even orders were always issued by the Blood Guards from Blood Nether Peak.

The Hall Master, who was also the sect master and the current Blood Demon of this generation, had never shown himself. It was indeed intriguing.

Along the way, Wang Yu made no effort to conceal himself.

The colorful brilliance of his Aurora Escape Technique was intentionally allowed to shine freely. He wanted more of his sect members to see it. He was doing this on purpose.

Especially the Alchemy Hall. He had to let them know.

He had no intention of flaunting his background. The Thunder Command Token was a one-time item. Using it prematurely was not as valuable as keeping it in hand. Its deterrence alone could be used many times.

He also needed to handle the Blood-Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon cautiously.

Once this news spread, his confidence would grow significantly.

Soon.

In less than half a stick of incense, the three arrived beneath the Blood Demon Hall. Although this palace floated among the nine peaks and seemed only a thousand mu (165 acres) in size at a glance, the closer they came, the more magnificent it felt.

Suddenly, Tantai Chan said, "I will not go up. I will wait for you down here."

Yu Tangtang did not mind. She whistled, and a giant bird covered in dragon scales with a tricolored tail plume descended from the sky.

It was the Tricolored Dragon Sparrow. Wang Yu had seen it before in Tantai Chan's medicinal garden.

Back then, he had not even reached Foundation Establishment. He was lucky to obtain two Foundation Establishment spiritual items from Yu Tangtang and barely broke through, overturning his innate weak aptitude.

Seeing it again now, he found the creature had only reached the eighth layer of Core Formation.

It had not even reached the peak, yet he had already caught up to it, reaching the fifth layer of Core Formation. They were now only one small realm apart.

He could not help feeling emotional.

"Sister Dragon Sparrow."

"Young Miss."

The Tricolored Dragon Sparrow had not reached the realm of a great demon capable of full transformation. It could only speak human words. Its bloodline was extremely dense and no weaker than the Three-Tailed Snow Fox.

Judging from the classification of true dragon descendants, its bloodline was at least of the dragon-blood tier. Unless it broke its bloodline limit, it would be difficult to reach the Nascent Soul realm.

If given the right opportunity, it could even transform into a true dragon.

After greeting them, Wang Yu stepped forward and said, "Junior Wang Yu pays respects to Senior Dragon Sparrow."

Considering that even a seventh-rank official was honored before a prime minister’s residence, Wang Yu behaved humbly and referred to himself as a junior, lifting the Tricolored Dragon Sparrow's status in the process.

After all, a candidate elder of Cold Blood Peak ranked far above a mere demon attendant.

As expected.

Seeing Wang Yu give face, the Tricolored Dragon Sparrow raised its brows happily. "Elder Wang is too polite. You and Miss Tangtang may come with me. To enter the secret realm within the Blood Demon Hall, I must guide you."

"Forgive the disturbance."

After clasping his fists, Yu Tangtang excitedly pulled Wang Yu onto the creature’s back. She patted its shimmering scales and cheered.

"Let us go. Let us go."

"Sit tight."

With a cry that sounded both like a dragon and a bird, the Tricolored Dragon Sparrow spread its wings. A fierce wind surged as it shot upward, leaving Tantai Chan behind, covering her face in embarrassment.

Once the two had left, Tantai Chan found a small scenic pavilion nearby and sat quietly inside, her beautiful eyes distant, no one knowing what was on her mind.

On the other side.

Buzz.

The Tricolored Dragon Sparrow’s wings had clearly undergone permanent transformation through some extremely rare spatial secret art. Modified and reinforced with secret patterns, a single flap of its wings caused countless spatial ripples to surge around the arched gateway of the Blood Demon Hall’s entrance.

It lowered its body and rushed in, and the three disappeared instantly.

The sensation of entering this secret realm was far better than the burial pit.

If that side was a washing machine drum, then this was a straight elevator, calmly and swiftly transporting them to another dimension.

"We are here."

In less than fifteen minutes, a blessed land filled with spiritual qi thick enough to form mist appeared before their eyes. Wang Yu could not help taking a deep breath.

Even the air here felt sweeter than the outside world.

"Haha, we are here. We are here. Wang Yu, come with me. I will take you to the herbal garden."

Hearing this, Wang Yu looked slightly embarrassed. His expression turned solemn as he spoke righteously. "Tangtang, we must visit Senior Yu first. That is the priority."

"Fine."

Pouting a little, Yu Tangtang skipped forward to lead the way. Such obedient behavior shocked the Tricolored Dragon Sparrow beyond belief.

"He actually... tamed the young miss."
