Chapter 19: A Reckless Man Attacks and Kills
Chapter 19: A Reckless Man Attacks and Kills
This exploitation was a bit harsh, as fully 200% of the profits had to be distributed, which meant that in the end he would only have contribution points left.
Even so, there is still some profit to be made. After all, this is only a short-term mission lasting half a year. The missions at the Mission Hall start at least one year, and the standard reward is 300 spirit stones.
The longer it takes, the higher the reward, which is also related to the difficulty of the task.
What Wang Yu cares more about is being able to hide away in peace for half a year. The attitudes of the outer disciples of Hanxue Peak that he encountered in the past few days were all very bad. As time goes by, he, this "lucky spirit slave", will probably become the target of public criticism.
The outer sect of Hanxue Peak, who has joined Su Zhenchuan's army, will not give up. Their only goal is to replace Wang Yu and obtain the qualification to live in Bingxue Tower with him.
Forcing him to quit voluntarily is one method, and killing him is another method.
The Nixue Ten Squares at the bottom of the Nine Peaks are home to the inner and outer disciples of the entire Nilingxue Sect. There are also a large number of industries of foundation-building and core-forming cultivators for the disciples to consume.
The number of inner disciples in each peak alone exceeds ten thousand, and the nine peaks combined are close to one hundred thousand. If you add the even larger number of outer disciples, the Nilingxue Sect has at least hundreds of thousands of disciples.
On the surface, sect rules prohibit disciples from killing each other, but if no one finds out, no one cares if any disciples disappear.
It was done so cleanly that even the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were too lazy to investigate.
During this period, Wang Yu tried his best to avoid going to remote and quiet places to avoid accidents. After saying goodbye to Zhao Shang, he went straight out and prepared to go to the Alchemy Hall to buy books on the maintenance of elixirs.
The price of this kind of classics is relatively low, and there are also a large number of magic cultivators who resell them. Each of the towns affiliated with the Nine Peaks has a specially set up trading street for the use of disciples within the sect.
Every few years, there is a joint event held by the Nine Peaks - the [True Teachings Auction]!
There are a lot of good things, and high-quality foundation-building pills are also flowing out.
But all these are still far away from Wang Yu, and he needs time to accumulate wealth and achieve a certain level of cultivation.
He spent all the spiritual sand he had on buying only a book describing various first-level spiritual medicines and maintenance methods, which was called "Compendium of Materia Medica·Qi Training Chapter".
This thing can greatly broaden Wang Yu's horizons and teach him the knowledge of identifying, nurturing and recognizing medicines, which will also be of great help in his future livelihood.
The four arts of practice: elixir, equipment, talisman, and formation!
There is no ranking order, but in terms of spending money, alchemy ranks first. After achieving some success, it is also the fastest way to make money.
He also took a fancy to this skill, and the placement bar was really suitable for this skill that required technique.
He can grind it out by hard work, and there is no need to consume too many materials to practice. The muscle memory of placing the bar will be developed, just like another him, honed in an unknown space.
[Placement column 2: Compendium of Materia Medica·Qigong chapter]
"Compendium of Materia Medica (0/100): Diary for twelve hours, can be completed in four days."
Sure enough, pure knowledge can be memorized very quickly.
Knowledge pours into my mind almost every moment, and I feel strengthened by knowledge, which is wonderful and pleasant.
After accepting the task of "maintaining the medicinal garden", the scroll with detailed information was handed to him, and he was about to check the specific location.
A cold wind came.
Wang Yu suddenly looked up and was surprised to find that he had walked into a dark alley without realizing it.
Bewitched?
A person walked out from the front and behind him, revealing his true appearance. Only three feet (ten meters) away from him, a colorful butterfly landed on the shoulder of the monk in front.
"Wang Yu, how effective is my Butterfly Illusion?"
There was no answer. The spiritual power in his body had already begun to mobilize. Judging from the breath, the cultivator at the back was at the third level of Qi training, while the cultivator in the front who was controlling the butterfly was at the fourth level of Qi training. It was a bit tricky.
"What do you want to do?"
"Ah---"
The opponent moved suddenly, took ghost-shadow steps, and instantly came to Wang Yu's side, pointing his finger like a sword, slashing forward.
The technique was very similar to the knife move by Manager Liu that day! Wang Yu, who was originally trying to delay time and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, did not expect the other party to be so decisive and lethal. Fortunately, he was prepared.
He tapped the ground with his toes, bent down and dodged backwards like a piece of iron, and made a magic seal with his hands. A handleless ice sword more than eight feet long quickly condensed.
“Hmph—”
The ice sword and the air blade collided and dissipated together.
The cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training was amazed at Wang Yu's attainments in magic. He could complete the magic with just one seal, which was a sign of perfection in magic. As far as he knew, this spirit slave had only practiced for half a year, yet he had such comprehension.
No wonder Su Zhenchuan noticed him, it's a pity that he met him.
He shouted.
"Chen Sanshi, take action!"
The person who responded was the outer sect disciple who was at the third level of Qi training behind Wang Yu. The way he dodged backwards seemed as if he was actively rushing into the arms of this person.
"Just in time."
The man drew out a long sword and chopped down with spiritual power. Wang Yu pushed off the ground again and turned over, only to see a volley of densely packed ice swords, each only the length of his index finger, shooting out.
There were at least twenty or thirty of them. Chen Sanshi's eyes widened. Facing the imminent danger, his strength inevitably decreased a lot. The sword blade chopped Wang Yu's back, leaving a bloody scar.
He himself was completely pierced by a large number of ice swords and died with his eyes open!
The tactic was successful. Wang Yu stretched out his hand and hooked Chen Sanshi's storage bag into his arms. There was no obstacle behind him anymore, and he could rush out of the alley and into the street at any time.
The attack against the one in the middle stage of Qi training was actually a feint.
His target has always been on the cultivator at the same level as him behind him. Only by killing him quickly can he be in an invincible position where he can attack or retreat.
"How dare you, a mere spirit slave, kill your fellow disciples!"
"funny."
Wang Yu sneered disdainfully.
"Wang still has to stretch his neck and let you guys slaughter him like cattle and horses?!!"
After the taunt, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the man's face, and said coldly: "I was personally recommended by Su Zhen to enter the Bingxue Tower. Even if you kill me, how can you be sure to get a room in the tower?"
The man took a few steps back and stared at him viciously.
"I will go in the same way as Su Qingshan. It has nothing to do with you."
None of my business? Wang Yu almost laughed out of anger.
As for Su Qingshan, he was another cultivator who lived in Bingxue Tower as an outer disciple.
The reason he was able to enter was that in the last Nine Peaks Outer Sect Competition, he defeated a disciple at the eighth level of Qi training with his sixth level of Qi training cultivation.
Later, he was noticed by Su Zhenchuan, who recruited him and moved into the Bingxue Tower.
The core reason is the combat power that surpasses that of the same level!
Wang Yu frowned and said, "You are at the fourth level of Qi training, and I am at the third level. What can you prove by killing me? You don't even know why I am valued by Su Zhenchuan, and you attack recklessly. How do you know if you are being used by others?"
After much thought, Wang Yu felt that there were not many people who had reason to deal with him. Fatty Duan Ping was one, the missing manager Liu was also one, and there was also Zhao Shang, whose suspicion was relatively low.
After being asked back by him, the man who attacked and killed him looked gloomy and uncertain, and it was obvious that he was also thinking.
