Chapter 11 A twist in the road
Chapter 11 A sudden turn of events
That day, Manager Liu acted in a strong manner and forcibly destroyed one of Wang Yu's arms.
Not only did it slap Manager Duan in the face, it also hurt the reputation of Su Zhenchuan. Wang Yu was not important, and even if he died, it would not involve Su Zhenchuan.
The problem is that Manager Duan is indifferent.
He is the representative of Su Zhenchuan. Keeping silent is tantamount to surrendering. After all, he had just accepted Wang Yu with great fanfare not long ago.
This incident caused him to suffer a setback.
As for Manager Liu's arrogance, it comes from the true disciple behind him.
Hanxue Peak is the dojo of the Nilingxue Sect's Yuanying Zhenjun, and its status is already at the top of the Nine Peaks. This session has a total of ten true disciples, all of whom are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and one of them even has a natural water spiritual root.
Whoever can break through the Jindan stage first will be able to obtain the inheritance of Yuanying Zhenjun and be listed as the next Yuanying seed.
A class of true disciples is formed every two hundred years. Until the last true disciple breaks through to the Jindan stage, a new true disciple will be selected from the tens of thousands of inner sect disciples. It is rare that a position is replaced midway.
The true teachings behind Manager Liu were that he accidentally discovered a superior Jindan spiritual object from one of his subordinates' tributes, which was perfectly compatible with his main cultivation method.
then.
He immediately applied for a third-grade top-grade golden elixir [Blood Demon Pill] and expected that within ten years, he would become the first true golden elixir master of this class.
Like the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Elixir is an auxiliary pill for cultivators to use when they break through to a higher realm. Due to different inheritances, there are various types of Golden Elixirs.
The Blood Demon Pill is a unique product of the Niling Blood Sect. It is extremely effective for blood-related exercises and can increase the chance of forming a pill by nearly 40%, which is very outstanding.
With the help of the Jindan spiritual objects, the breakthrough of this true disciple is almost a foregone conclusion. Once the news spreads, the power under his command naturally expands, and his actions become more and more arrogant.
This is a normal phenomenon in the evil world. Once they gain power, they become arrogant and will do anything to make money.
Such a coincidence made the other nine true disciples furious. Things had come to this point and could not be reversed, so they could only focus on themselves.
Want to try your luck, what if?
So, it was just a coincidence that Manager Duan came to look for him again.
After listening to Manager Duan’s explanation, Wang Yu already understood what was going on.
Because of his previous cold-eyed observation, Manager Duan's prestige among this group of spirit slaves was greatly damaged. Now, Manager Liu has the largest number of people under his command, which is close to two thousand.
Manager Duan and another manager Liu have only six or seven hundred people on their side. The spiritual slave business is the purse of the three true disciples. If one side gets more, the others will get less.
In order to gather subordinates and develop power, spirit stones are indispensable.
Manager Duan continued.
"Wang Yu, you are a capable person. Even after what happened last time, there are still seven or eight spirit slaves who have not switched to other managers. The spirit sand they handed in this month is at least one tael and six cents.
"Su Zhenchuan and I both admire you for this, but you can't mess with Manager Liu for now, and you should avoid him if you can. As long as you can rebuild the team of spirit slaves, not to mention the outer sect, even the inner sect disciples can be defeated with just a word from Su Zhenchuan."
Wang Yu doesn't want to eat this cake.
Moreover, the situation was different. It had become much more difficult for him to convince those people. Even if they were submissive, they would not frequently change sides in a short period of time.
Unless a new batch of people is sent in, that would be another matter.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, he had no right to refuse.
"Manager Duan, Wang Yu will do his best."
"Very good. This is the reward that Su Zhenchuan gave you in advance. Take it."
Wang Yu took a jade slip, placed it on his forehead, and touched it with his mind. Immediately, pieces of information flowed into his mind, and he remembered all of them in a moment.
This is one of the wonderful uses of a cultivator's spiritual consciousness, which cannot leave the body in the early stages of Qi training.
Once you break through the fourth level of Qi training, you can sense the outside world outside your body, and you can leave your mind imprint on magic tools, greatly improving your flexibility. It has many uses.
The jade slip records a rare secret technique. There is no grade classification for secret techniques, and the effect is the basis for it.
This technique is called [Secret Technique of Corpse Demon] and it was created by the "Old Man Tiancan" ten thousand years ago. This man was born with a disability, missing an arm and a leg.
Fortunately, he possesses a mutated high-quality spiritual root, which is a very rare "yin spiritual root". The secret technique of corpse demon was created by him in the Nascent Soul stage, which can fuse the arms of zombies to make up for the defects.
The secret method that Su Zhen passed on was an incomplete version and had great side effects.
The body turned into a corpse, lost sexual desire, shortened lifespan, abnormal qi and blood... and so on. There were seven or eight of them in total. The more Wang Yu looked at them, the more depressed he became.
Is this thing for humans to practice?
He thought it was some magic pill that could regenerate severed limbs, but now that he had eaten the cake, this was the result.
Manager Duan patted his shoulder playfully.
"When you complete the task, Su Zhenchuan will find you the remaining arm of the Ice Corpse. This is a second-level evil corpse. Even if you cannot break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can still become one of the strongest people in the Qi Training Stage."
The tension in Wang Yu's mind had already broken to its limit. After thanking again, he left the Accord and returned to Stone House No. 83.
Savor it carefully.
The last time he cut off an arm and a leg of the three spirit slaves, it was actually a decision he made after careful consideration. If it weren't for the matter of the true teachings of Hanxue Peak, Manager Duan would definitely have protected him, and the man surnamed Liu would not have been so arrogant.
Unfortunately, destiny is not in our own hands.
This made him understand that everyone is the protagonist of his own world and a supporting role in the world of others, so he needs to act cautiously and be careful.
When you are in the evil path, you must not easily stand out. The correct approach is to hide your weapon.
This series of twists and turns led him to face a new problem: should he practice the secret technique of the corpse demon?
There are many side effects, but placing the bar can increase the upper limit of the Ice Sword Technique, and it should also be able to work on the Corpse Demon Secret Technique to complete it.
The difficulty should always be lower than starting over.
He didn't believe that the Nascent Soul Secret Method would have so many flaws. There must be something wrong with Su Zhen's interpretation. After all, Old Man Tiancan created this method for his own use, so it must be perfect without any loopholes.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
Remove the Blood Burning Skill from placement column 2 and temporarily place the Corpse Demon Secret Skill.
[Placement column 2: Corpse Demon Secret Technique]
"Corpse Demon Secret Technique (0/100): practices a day, can be mastered in three months."
Wang Yu was very surprised to see the number of times he practiced in one day. After all, practicing once a minute was a bit exaggerated, but it would still take three months to complete it.
If we wait for the placement column to be completed, it will definitely take years, which is definitely much longer than the Ice Sword Technique.
Without much hesitation, he took off the Corpse Demon Secret Technique and replaced the Blood Burning Technique with Unit 2. He decided to focus on his cultivation.
In addition to normal comprehension, the secret technique of the corpse demon also requires practice.
"Use yin to nourish blood and gain the blessing of heaven's yin."
"Use the corpse to nourish the body, and obtain the devil body without evil."
"The sky turns to blood, and bones and flesh grow."
"Corpse Qi turns into veins, and water and fire are not to be avoided."
To put it bluntly, before actually connecting the corpse arm, one needs to absorb Yin spiritual energy to transform one's own blood, and at the same time absorb the corpse qi to invade one's own bones for deep transformation.
