Chapter 224: Lord Lei Huo has reached the seventh level of foundation building!
The loyal Gui Ling welcomed their City Lord Wang Yu!
As expected, most of the City Lord's Mansion had collapsed, all caused by the late Jindan cultivator who was trapped in the formation. Dozens of guards who stayed behind in the City Lord's Mansion were also killed suddenly.
This made Mr. Wang feel a little regretful.
Many people were standing outside the ruined Central City. When they saw Wang Yu and the others coming, they all shuddered and shouted with full energy, "Congratulations, Lord City Lord, for your successful return!"
Wang Yu: “…”
Old man Xuanyan joked on the side.
"My friend, you have quite a bit of prestige in the city."
Wang Yu smiled bitterly.
"Senior Xuanyan, you think too highly of the juniors. They are just scared."
Yes, he was frightened by the late Jindan stage cultivator who was suddenly teleported from the City Lord's Mansion, and dozens of his fellow accomplices died tragically in front of him. How could he remain indifferent?
This wave... this wave is a forced fight, without giving people time to react.
However, most of those who are distracted are independent cultivators. The first batch of teenagers recruited by Wang Yu were all young cultivators who grew up here. They have grown up to become a group of excellent backbone forces.
It is time to consider starting to replace them, selecting the best from the useless, and truly train an army of monks belonging to Guiling City.
Now is a good time to drive out some parasites and let those who can really get things done come to the fore.
After everyone went up the stairs and entered the mansion.
Wang Yu immediately saw three familiar faces whose limbs were bound by rocks growing from the ground. Their breath was extremely weak and not a trace of magic power could be sensed.
Late stage of Dan Jie, early stage of Dan Jie, early stage of Dan Jie.
"Senior Xuanyan, how do you decide to deal with these three people?"
"How to deal with it?"
Old man Xuanyan paused, as if he remembered something.
"This time, I am the only one coming to Guiling. Please send an envoy to Youzhou Prefecture City to inform Huangquan Temple to send someone over. This is my order.
"In the next period of time, I will be in charge of Guiling. There will be more fellow disciples coming from Yunling Prefecture. You just need to entertain them well. I will handle all the negotiations and matters."
"Junior knows."
Wang Yu stretched out his hand to call Xu Ruozhou, and asked him to take charge of the reconstruction of the City Lord's Mansion immediately, and start by building a new residence for Old Man Xuanyan.
The monks' work efficiency is extremely fast, and the reconstruction work is still very simple with some magic. But if they want to carve some murals or dragons in detail... then it will be a bit slow.
Emergency situations must be dealt with urgently and it should be built overnight first.
"Oh, Xu Ruozhou, please use the photo stone to record the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion and the appearance of the Central City. Make a few copies and give one to Senior Xuanyan.
"And... Qingyang, come here! Write down all the elixirs you used after being injured this time, and write a note to give to Xu Ruozhou."
Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said carefully: "Is it reasonable for me to use the cultivation elixir to heal my injuries?"
"Hahaha~, if this city lord says it's reasonable, then it's reasonable. Report five times the amount. If it's more, I won't ask for compensation."
Everyone: "..."
Xu Ruozhou hurriedly took notes. No wonder the city lord always called him stupid. It turned out that people could be so shameless. The situation in the Central City District was not caused by Master Tianshui of Jin Manlou.
Sudden.
Wang Yu, who had just turned around, turned again.
"I remember that a group of mortals and several monks died in the Central District. There must be tens of thousands of them. They were all handed over to Senior Xuanyan. The mortals were changed to monks, and the monks were changed to mortals."
"……Yes!"
"Yes!!"
Wang Yu gave detailed instructions, fearing that these stupid subordinates would waste the opportunity to earn spirit stones. Now he was extremely poor, but he could get the holy offering of one million spirit stones immediately.
He has gathered allies with vested interests to fill this hole, can he keep it all to himself?
The fact is, no!
Because there will be follow-up to this matter, the matter of recovering the holy offering cannot be concealed from the members of the interest alliance, so it is better to return it and do them a favor, so that they can be better driven by him in the future.
Walking alone in the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Yu took out a scroll and planned what it would look like after reconstruction.
"Build a row of alchemy rooms here, build a garden with rare stones and sacred woods here, build three palaces here, and here..."
All expenses for the reconstruction were paid for by Huangquan Temple.
Reasonable.
When he passed by the former main hall, he hurried over and cleared the entrance to the secret room with his Xuanyin Hand.
Fortunately, the secret training room below and the second underground floor made up of murderous stone slabs did not suffer too much damage, otherwise he would have been blackmailed to death in Huangquan Temple.
Without wandering around and wasting time, Wang Yu meditated in the secret room, refining elixirs to slowly recover from his injuries, and he did not stop practicing.
Not to mention, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, his self-cultivation speed has increased a lot. Although it is temporary, it also makes people feel happy. So, one month later.
In September of the 25th year of Wang Yu's career as a deacon, the reconstruction of the City Lord's Mansion was temporarily completed. Although it was done rather roughly, at least it was habitable.
Then came the reconstruction work in the central city area, and the once-good city guards were turned into a decoration team.
A large number of cultivators also arrived from Yunling Prefecture City, including more than twenty Jindan cultivators, hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, and another Yuanying cultivator.
This Nascent Soul was attracted here by Elder Xuanyan.
It is the Nascent Soul of the Tianshi Peak, the second peak of the Niling Blood Sect—【Lei Houjun】!
It is said that this person practiced a peculiar skill, which turned himself into a zombie, and also evolved into a very rare "Thunder Hound", with the potential to become a god.
He is only over 800 years old, but he has already cultivated to the seventh level of Nascent Soul!
He is the second best person in Tianshi Peak, only below the [Three Corpses Taoist]. As for the [Tianshi Old Demon] mentioned by old man Xuanyan, he is actually the master of Tianshi Mountain, whose cultivation is only at the third level of Nascent Soul, the same level as Xuanyan.
After Lei Huojun heard the news about the Lei Ling corpse, he rushed over immediately. To him, this Lei Ling corpse was almost equivalent to a "fellow tribe member", which was a pretty weird situation.
It's extremely strange.
Faced with a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, Elder Xuanyan had no choice but to agree. In fact, he was willing to offer himself to Lord Lei Huo, thinking that he would get a lot of rewards.
The late Nascent Soul cultivator is completely different from the early Nascent Soul cultivator. The latter can escape from the hands of the former with their Nascent Soul leaving their bodies early and still have a chance of survival.
Once a life-and-death fight begins, he will be defeated within ten moves.
Cultivation works like this, the gap becomes bigger as you progress. Sometimes a small gap in realm is enough to create a crushing advantage.
Wang Yu had the honor of meeting this [Lei Hou Jun].
The other party gave him a token engraved with the word "thunder", which was much more sincere than what old man Xuanyan gave him. It meant that if Wang Yu committed a crime in the future, he could use this token to save his life.
He treasured it very much and put it in the Hai Xin Ring.
As for the negotiations with Huangquan Temple, Wang Yu's cultivation was too low, and he played no role except for providing intelligence. He did not even go to the negotiation table, and left it entirely to old man Xuanyan to communicate with them.
A Yuanying also came to Huangquan Temple, and the culprit, Elder Ksitigarbha, also came with him. The other party's confidence not only came from his strength, but also seemed to have the support of a major branch of Huangquan Temple behind him.
It won't be possible to come to an agreement in a short time.
The area around Guiling City was extremely peaceful due to the gathering of the Nascent Souls of the two dominant forces. Even the frequent robberies and murders had stopped.
As for [Lei Hou Jun], after he got the corpse of Lei Ling, he immediately went back to the mountain gate of Ni Ling Xue Zong and had no intention of participating in the negotiations at all.
If there is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage in charge, it would probably be easy to negotiate with him. This kind of person can represent the sect behind him.
Every word and action must be considered, especially when outsiders are present.
During this negotiation, there would be an argument every ten days or half a month, either about the unreasonable compensation proposed by Wang Yu or about the false reporting of losses.
He also used the three people who had been arrested as an example and put all the blame on them.
Old man Xuanyan’s attitude was firm.
He always talked about the face of the Nilingxue Sect and demanded an explanation from them. This was not something that could be satisfied with just a few million spirit stones. He also wanted a written apology that would be announced to the world.
But this is exactly what Huangquan Temple cannot accept.
The two sides have been arguing for a period of time, from spring to winter, and the four seasons have cycled three times. Now they are halfway through the fourth cycle, and no result has been reached.
But many compensation payments have already been made.
Wang Yu continued with his life, completely unaffected by the negotiations, doing what he was doing.
It is a rare peaceful period with a big boss in charge, and many of his policies have been implemented very smoothly since the failure of the Scent of Fragrance Club.
He planned to build a monastic market in the city, as the central city area happened to be in ruins.
He invited monks from all over the country to settle in Guiling and developed a new cave rental business.
You know, the third-grade middle-quality spiritual vein in Guiling City is a spiritual vein environment that is hard to come by for independent cultivators. He and Qingyang cannot use it all, so it would be better to plan out a piece of it and rent it out as a cave residence.
For a cultivator to break through to the Jindan stage, a third-order spiritual energy environment is necessary. Second-order spiritual veins cannot provide the vast amount of spiritual energy required to condense the golden elixir and transform life.
Even Wang Yu could not avoid this.
The placement bar could not instantly provide him with the massive amount of spiritual energy needed to break through. He had used spiritual stones instead when he was in the Black Mountain Demon Land.
These operational strategies are just small things.
At the beginning of January in the 30th year of his career as a deacon, Wang Yu successfully entered the seventh level of foundation building with the help of the Erwen Ningyuan Pill, and truly stepped into the late stage of foundation building.
This was somewhat different from his original two-year plan. He overestimated his own cultivation speed and refined two more top-grade Ice Spirit Pills during this period.
The total increase was 552 drops of true essence, and his own practice increased it by 82 drops, reaching the highest record in history!
Now that the lake of true essence in his body has condensed, the recovery speed has increased several times, and the upper limit of true essence has reached 2018 drops. He needs to accumulate drops to reach the peak of the seventh level.
It doubled, and he had already taken seven Bingling Pills. He had to find a new recipe for the elixir for cultivation, as this one was about to cause pill damage.
The breakthrough in his cultivation made Wang Yu feel refreshed and more energetic in doing things.
This day.
A notice from old man Xuanyan prompted Wang Yu to rush to the Xuanyan Palace which was built specially for him!
"Wang Yu, I'm here to meet Senior Xuan Yan."
"No need to be polite. Remember I told you to think about how to compensate?"
