Chapter 232: Old Friends Visit Yunling New 9 Cities
Chapter 232: Old Friends Visit Yunling New Nine Cities
This incident is just a period of rapid growth in the normal development of Guiling City, and the long-term environment remains stable.
However, as for the [Ancient Ruins·Dongjijing], since the last exploration craze has passed and after a period of recuperation, Monk Chiyuan has regained his enthusiasm for this relic.
In particular, the news about special materials such as corpse goblins, corpse monsters, and six-eyed corpse babies spread, attracting a group of corpse cultivators, and even disciples from the Tianshi Peak of the Nilingxue Sect came.
Even if one does not get this opportunity, the ordinary ancient corpses that have been preserved from ancient times to the present are more than ordinary corpse refining materials. If a Qi-cultivating cultivator catches them, they are also worth cultivating.
This made Wang Yu's cave rental business officially a hit.
Spiritual stones came rushing in.
Luo Chen knew about Wang Yu’s little thing, but just as he thought, although the other party was annoyed, he did not leave Sanmao City again.
Having tasted the sweetness of seizing other people's property, how could he resist the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones he harvested every year? In fact, this amount was not small.
Sanmao City is rich in talisman paper, talismans, and talisman masters, which are definitely high-quality assets, and are a level higher than Guiling, which has nothing.
Luo Chen was not satisfied. Besides the fact that he was a Jindan cultivator and his consumption ratio was extremely high, his practice of talismans also consumed a lot of spirit stones. Unlike Wang Yu, his alchemy skills were all based on the placement of bars.
Once you have completed it, you can practice it yourself, and the learning cost will be almost zero.
It's a totally profitable skill.
If one wants to possess combat power far beyond that of his peers, the resources consumed will naturally be more than theirs. Sanmao City can satisfy Luo Chen's normal cultivation needs, but it cannot support his extravagant cultivation.
As time passed, Sanmao City fell into dire straits.
It's another autumn.
An old acquaintance of Wang Yu came from the gate of the Nilingxue Sect with a group of people. It was Gu Zhengshun, the inner sect of Tianshi Peak.
He was not the team leader, but came with a true disciple of the Heavenly Corpse. After not seeing Gu Zhengshun for many years, he had also broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage and was currently at the second level of Foundation Establishment.
This true disciple of Tianshi is not the Jiang true disciple that Wang Yu has dealt with before, but one of the ten true disciples of Tianshi Peak. His natal corpse was devoured by a man named Jiang at the "Corpse Fighting Conference".
In the battle for Nascent Soul inheritance, he was defeated.
After years of cultivation, relying on his background and his own foundation, he broke through the first level of Jindan and, according to tradition, left the sect to guard an area.
It just so happened that he heard that there were top-grade materials in the ancient ruins of Dongjijing. In addition, Youzhou had compensated Yunlingzhou with nine cities, so this true disciple took the initiative to ask for one.
Only then did he come to Wang Yu's Guiling City and settle down. As for the reason why Gu Zhengshun followed him, I don't know it for now, but maybe I can ask him later.
By the way, get to know the latest news inside the mountain gate.
Guiling Council Chamber.
Wang Yu arranged everyone's seats and then spoke first.
"I wonder what the name of this True Disciple of Heavenly Corpse Peak is?"
"Wang Zhi... City Lord Wang, since we are from the same sect, we should address each other as brothers. I am Wei Hao, and you can just call me Brother Wei. How do you think?"
"It's impossible."
After all, the other party is at the Jindan stage. Respect for one's cultivation realm is a hierarchy engraved in the bones of cultivators. Calling him a fellow disciple is already a way of giving him face.
If one holds a position in the sect, such as Wang Yu's inner sect law enforcement deacon, one can also be addressed by the position, but it will sound more unfamiliar.
This Wei Hao doesn't look very old, but he is actually about 160 to 170 years old. He is still a young man during his 800 years of Dan formation. He has a pretty delicate appearance and looks weak.
If it weren't for a hint of gloom in his brows that ruined his overall temperament, it would be easy to give people a good impression.
But yes.
I lost the battle for the true inheritance thirty or forty years ago, and even my natal corpse is gone. It would be strange if I was in a good mood. Maybe I have accumulated a knot in my heart.
But... the last name is Wei? He remembered Ding Ming saying that the Wei family is good at producing smart people and has considerable influence in the Nilingxue Sect. He used to only regard it as a Jindan family.
But if they can have true disciples in both peaks, they might be a Nascent Soul family. However, they are not as good as the Zhuo family who have multiple Nascent Souls. They may only have one or two.
Wang Yu's mind moved: "I wonder what is the relationship between Senior Brother Wei Hao and Wei Shanze?"
Wei Hao was also stunned when he suddenly heard Wei Shanze's name, but he reacted quickly.
"Wei Shanze and I are from the same clan, but our bloodline is quite distant. I heard that he came to Dongjijing a few years ago. I think he met Junior Brother Wang."
"Oh—that's what he said?"
"Could there be something else going on?"
"That's not true."
Wang Yu lowered his head and drank tea, laughing in his heart. That guy probably wouldn't dare to say that he had stolen half of his wealth. He had a life-saving "Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill" in his hand, which came from Wei Shanze.
It is said that as long as there is still a breath left, he can be saved.
"By the way, since Senior Brother Wei Hao is here to take up the post, do you know which nine cities Huangquan Temple has compensated for and what the situation is? What is Brother Wei's choice..."
When Wei Hao heard Wang Yu's question, he also smiled with relief.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten such a great deal. Zhengshun, bring the map here."
Gu Zhengshun was sitting next to Wei Hao. Seeing Wang Yu and Wei Hao laughing and talking, he felt very complicated. Back then in Xuangu Mountain, he was an outer disciple.
His status was not even as high as his, but now he is the lord of a third-level spiritual vein city, and his cultivation is so high that he cannot see through it. This difference in fate is truly lamentable.
He couldn't help but think that if he had maintained a friendly relationship with Wang Yu in Xuangu Mountain and had not helped Jiang Zhenchuan after returning to the sect, perhaps he could say a few words to him now.
"Jungshun?"
"Oh, here it comes——" Coming back to his senses from his memories, Gu Zhengshun quickly spread out the map, and Wei Hao said upon seeing this.
"This guy has been distracted since he came to Guiling. I'm sorry to make Junior Brother Wang laugh."
"No, I guess he felt a little emotional after seeing Wang."
"Oh? You know each other."
"nature."
Wang Yu waved towards Gu Zhengshun, motioning him to sit closer. He didn't have any opinion about Gu Zhengshun, as they were somewhat familiar with each other.
Except for the incident at Xuangu Mountain, he was really angry.
Later on, helping Jiang Zhen pass messages within the sect was not a big deal at all. After all, he had obtained the rare [Ghost Den Weeping Bamboo], which was somewhat of an opportunity.
"Wang... City Lord Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, there are some. I'll talk to Brother Wei later."
"……it is good."
Seeing this, Wei Hao did not ask any more questions, but spread out the map and said.
“Junior Brother Wang, this is Guiling, this is the ruins of the ancient Dongjijing.
"Youzhou ceded a crescent-shaped territory with nine cities on it. I am in the lowest one - [Wanglong City]!"
Wang Yu observed carefully and was surprised to find that the Nine Cities just completely covered the east side of "Dongjijing", and Guiling City was to the west of the ruins.
It is diagonally opposite Wanglong City, only about 5,000 miles away, which is not far.
The way Huangquan Temple was ceded was really frowned upon.
Because it seems that the ancient ruins have been completely given to Yunling Prefecture, and Xinjiucheng has become the outermost line of defense on the east side of Yunling!
What is this?
Seeing Wang Yu's confusion, Wei Hao took out another map, but it was a sea chart, which made him even more confused because he knew almost nothing about the sea.
Wei Hao said: "Brother, look, the Chaos Ancient Sea is divided into four banks: east, west and east. The west bank is occupied by people from Taihu Lake, and the south bank is occupied by the Thunder Fire Temple, the Hehuan Sect, and the Mingshan Sect.
"This east coast is the Holy Sect and Huangquan Temple. In order to obtain this crescent territory, the Holy Sect made concessions on the sea. Here is a mine called [Deep Sea Sunken Silver], which has been given to Huangquan Temple."
Wang Yu: “…”
Mr. Wang opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself... He knew that place, and Jin Manlou had just bought it not long ago.
Damn it! The Niling Blood Clan is really smart. When Huangquan Temple finds out, they will be furious! But whether they can hold on to the vacated territory depends on whether these new city lords can do it.
Moreover, Wei Hao seemed to be unaware of this.
Noticing Wang Yu's abnormality, Wei Hao waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and his expression became much more serious.
"It seems that Junior Brother Wang knows something about the inside story. It turns out that I made the right decision this time. Could you please tell me?"
Since Ding Ming recognized him as a smart person, Wang Yu thought about it and decided to do Wei Hao a favor, considering that he was so polite...
"Now that we've come to this, I won't hide it from Brother Wei. The value of this mineral deposit is no less than that of several cities. It is very likely to contain fourth-level spiritual objects, and it has already been bought by Jin Manlou."
Wei Hao frowned, and the gloom in his eyes became even darker.
"I was wondering why the guy surnamed Jiang showed me the way, and it turned out to be the road to hell! He really deserves to die——"
Hearing this, Wang Yu was even more confused.
"So you believe him so much?!"
Wei Hao smiled bitterly.
"Junior Brother Wang has never been a true disciple, so he doesn't understand the unspoken rules among true disciples. The competition at Tianshi Peak is unique among the nine peaks, after all, nine out of ten are sacrificed.
"If you come from a humble background, you can ignore these rules, but for someone like Wei, you have to obey them.
"Although Wanglong City is dangerous, it is a place where good and bad things go hand in hand. It may be a way out. Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother Wang. I wonder if you can report the situation in this area in more detail."
"can."
Since he's doing a favor, Wang Yu might as well do more.
Wei Hao's visit to Guiling indicated that the new city lords of the other eight cities would also pass by him. Those with clear thinking and sharp minds would probably come to him.
Hostile... not necessarily, it depends on the person.
"When Brother Wei arrives in Wanglong City, you can contact Wang more often. We can cooperate on anything in person."
"It's natural."
The two chatted for a while, and then Wei Hao said goodbye. He originally wanted to stay in Guiling for a few days, but after receiving this news, it would be better to rush to Wanglong City as soon as possible.
All the people belonging to Huangquan Temple in the city need to be cleared out immediately, including all the hidden agents. This requires extremely fast speed, otherwise it will be too late when the mine is exposed.
This might be the true counterattack of the Nilingxue Sect against the offensive behavior of Huangquan Temple. They are really not afraid of fighting.
Gu Zhengshun stayed and talked with Wang Yu before following Wei Hao away.
The two didn't talk much.
But it also allowed Wang Yu to learn a lot of new information. Yan Ling, the true disciple of Hanxue Peak, had reached the stage of Dan and officially became the disciple of the [Master of Hanxue Mountain].
Wei Chong disappeared in the Blood Abyss. Su Yulong came out of seclusion at the Duan Clan in Xiangshan and had also reached the stage of Dan. It was said that he had just returned to Hanxue Peak after the confinement punishment was over.
"What a troubled time~"
