Chapter 357: The Cold Blood Mountain Lord's Attraction
Chapter 357: The Cold Blood Mountain Lord's Attraction
Near the mountaintop dojo.
Seeing that the mountain master had not returned yet, Wang Yu went to the Jade Book Hall. On the shaking bench in front of the door, the figure of Elder Yu Shu was still lying on it.
He was holding an old book and reading it.
Seeing Wang Yu coming, he said jokingly.
"Hey, you're back. How did you gain from your experience in the Blood Abyss?"
Wang Yu opened his mouth, took the words back, pointed at his forehead, and used his spiritual sense to replicate a memory, which mainly included his contact with Song Yun.
"Elder Yu Shu will understand after reading it."
After sending out the ball of spiritual light, Wang Yu turned around and left.
After only a few breaths, the book in the old man's hand fell to the ground, and the aura he exuded when he stood up made Wang Yu secretly frightened.
Elder Yu Shu does give people a different feeling.
The quality of his mana alone has reached the limit of a Jindan cultivator. This gap can bring a sense of oppression just by releasing his aura. No wonder he is hailed as the cultivator with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Yuanying stage.
It has come to this, wouldn’t the sect consider investing in a spiritual item for forming a baby... With that in mind, can he trust the opportunity that Blood Axe has given him?
hiss--
The more he thought about it, the more Wang Yu felt insecure.
He could only judge this matter by himself. He didn't think there was anything worth stealing from him. All he had was the potential of this body.
It's okay to be suspicious, but if you completely distrust me, that would mean you're going to lose out on opportunities. The energy of the Three Blood Demons is probably still on Xie Xie'an, so no matter how you look at it, they won't harm him.
So, most likely I'm just overthinking it.
When he arrived at the entrance of the mountain master's temple, Wang Yu saw the figure of Elder Yu Shu soaring into the sky, presumably going to find out the situation.
I hope Song Yun’s story can give him some stimulation.
If he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will inevitably clash with the power structure of Hanxue Peak. At that time, it will be much easier for Wang Yu to take advantage of the opportunity to climb up.
Chaos is a ladder, and too much chaos is the way to death.
The impact of Yu Shu's breakthrough was just right.
It better be successful!
Next, he successfully arrived at the gate of the mountain master's temple. Leaning against the rocks beside the steps, Wang Yu closed his eyes and waited.
He didn't have to wait too long, just half a day.
The Lord of Hanxue Mountain and Yan Ling flew in from afar and landed on the steps together.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Yu?"
This questioning voice was obviously uttered by Yan Ling.
Wang Yu nodded to her, and then respectfully bowed to the monk beside him and said, "Greetings, Mountain Master."
"No need to be polite."
The Lord of Hanxue Mountain looks like a young man. If he has not taken the anti-aging elixir, then it is just his mentality. A young appearance can often affect the behavior of a cultivator.
It is unclear whether he was hot-blooded and impulsive, but his personality was definitely completely different from the old man's.
The person has long hair of mixed blue and white, which is simply draped behind his back. His facial features are quite delicate, and he has a jade belt tied around his forehead.
She was dressed rather simply, in a purple-black plain jade silk dress without any pattern. She was playing with a string of ice bodhi beads in her hand and looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Are you here for the blood pool baptism later?"
"That's it."
Wang Yu nodded and gave a vague answer.
"Then let's go in together. There will be a lot of things to do on the other hills. Fortunately, Xie Xie'an showed up, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the one who would be in trouble would be him, the Lord of Hanxue Mountain.
Because the troublemaker was right next to him, he deliberately didn't say it too bluntly to avoid hurting someone's reputation.
Wang Yu didn't have such thoughts. This was his second time coming to the mountain master's temple. He felt the rich spiritual energy and coolness in the air and looked quite comfortable.
This place has no Soul-Freezing Wind.
The cultivation environment is actually better than that on the Red Snow Mountain. After all, it is close to the core of the fourth-level spiritual vein. For Jindan cultivators, it is definitely a first-class cultivation paradise.
This cold air is also very interesting. It seems ordinary and does not have any abnormal effects, but it points directly to the true meaning of coldness and brings "cold" to the extreme.
It is no less effective than Soul-Frozen Wind.
of course.
This is because Wang Yu has never practiced here. If he practiced here for many years and adapted to the cold air here, he would feel that the Frozen Soul Wind is worthy of its reputation.
Ultimately, it's a question of adaptability.
The coldness of the heaven and earth in different places certainly has its own advantages, otherwise there would be no need to run around looking for a place with extremely cold weather.
"Yan Ling, you go back first."
"Yes, master."
The master and disciple separated, and Wang Yu followed the mountain master into a black ice palace in the middle of the Taoist temple, where he saw the black ice condensed by his magic power.
The place is obviously built with real materials, with some unique traces of time. It looks very simple and elegant. There are quite a few seats inside, which should be used for Nascent Soul cultivators to hold meetings.
After crossing this space, the two came to a side hall with a stronger atmosphere of life. The Lord of Hanxue Mountain gestured for him to sit down with a pleasant expression.
"Wang Yu, I guess you have inquired about the result of the Shuangzhuo fight after you got out. What do you think?"
"This……"
Wang Yu was a little hesitant. It was because the attitude shown by the Lord of Hanxue Mountain was too friendly and it was obvious that he had other plans.
He said a little uncertainly.
"The contract between Wang and Zhuo Shouqing has ended. Since he has failed, there is no need for me to continue fighting with Zhuo Shouyun. I can just practice quietly on Hanxue Peak."
"That's right. Zhuo's ship is too big. It's hard to get good results if you continue to participate in it with your identity. It's a good move to retreat bravely."
Having said this, the Lord of Hanxue Mountain paused for a moment before speaking.
"I heard that you and your beloved disciple, as well as the four cold-blooded clans Qiao, Xue, Ji, and Chu, have all cooperated on the field of elixirs. Are you a third-level top-grade alchemist?"
Although the words were spoken in a questioning tone, nothing could be hidden from the mountain master on the Hanxue Peak, and that firm look in his eyes did not allow Wang Yu to deny it.
He had already guessed the hidden meaning of the Lord of Hanxue Mountain.
Just want to recruit him!
But... there is a science to how to use a third-level top-grade alchemist. Exploitation and respect are two different things.
Wang Yu was silent for a moment.
He chose to move out his backer and took out Yu's father's warrant, which had the aura of the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon on it, so there was no possibility of it being forged.
"Ahem——
“Thank you for your concern, Mountain Master. Wang Yu has already become a disciple of Senior Mo Jiao and is refining pills for him and Miss Tang Tang. The cooperation with Hanxue Peak has reached its limit and it is difficult to spare more energy.
"Besides, the training in the Blood Abyss took thirty years, so I will probably be busy for some time to come."
Wang Yu’s strategy is to appeal to people’s emotions and reason with them.
Bringing out the warrant was a relatively gentle measure, but he seemed to have misunderstood what the Lord of Hanxue Mountain meant, and he saw the other party shaking his head.
"You can continue your deal with Yan Ling and expand your share fourfold, but stop the deal with the four cold-blooded tribes."
Wang Yu’s eyes were solemn.
"Is this what you mean... or is this a condition you offer?" The other party guessed the purpose of his visit.
That's why he used the dispute between the two Zhuos as the beginning of their conversation. He had shown the existence of this warrant and even the Thunder Lord Order in public.
There’s no way the other party doesn’t know!
So because of the retreat of the Zhuo, Yu and Zuoqiu clans, he wanted Wang Yu to come to the side of the master-disciple faction.
But the problem is that there are two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage on Hanxue Peak, Fairy Bingpo and Old Man Lanxin. One belongs to the Zhuo family and the other to the Zuoqiu family.
These two are the uncrowned kings of Hanxue Peak.
It's just that he has been ignoring things for many years and focusing on spiritual practice, which has led to him being far away from the center of power. If he really wants to take power, it would only take a word.
Do you think the Lord of Hanxue Mountain dares to disobey? !
In addition, Demon Lord Tianshuang stands on the side of the four clans of the old Hanxue faction, so the struggle between the family faction and the master-disciple faction on Hanxue Peak is actually a dispute between Demon Lord Tianshuang and the Lord of Hanxue Mountain.
Therefore, Wang Yu had to abandon the four old clans and completely join his faction.
before.
With someone protecting him as a background, Wang Yu had the capital to remain neutral. But now it is no longer possible. Father Yu is the sect guardian demon dragon and has no real right to participate in the internal appointments of Hanxue Peak.
This principle also applies to Lei Huojun.
There was no need to even give him face. When the great cultivator from Tianshi Peak interfered with the rights of the Lord of Hanxue Mountain, Fairy Bingpo and Old Man Lanxin were the first to disagree.
This made Wang Yu feel troubled.
There are twelve positions in the Elder Council of Hanxue Peak. Without the background of Zhuo and Zuoqiu families, and without the nod of the mountain master, he could not get in at all.
But he needed this identity to transition for a period of time in case Fu Xiao did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and used Zhuo Shouyun's power to deal with him. At the very least, he had to get a chance for a fair fight.
After all, the two are opportunities for each other, and no one is willing to give up.
This situation will continue until he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, which is the only way to break the current awkward deadlock.
It’s all Zhuo Shouqing’s fault, what a waste!
Wang Yu couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart.
at this time.
But I heard the Lord of Hanxue Mountain say.
"You can regard it as a condition set by me, but you can also regard it as a suggestion from an elder. You have a good relationship with Yan Ling, right?"
Hear the words.
Wang Yu was shocked. Could it be what he thought?
"Mountain Master, Wang is devoted to Taoism and has no such thoughts for the time being."
"No hurry, you are still young."
From the perspective of the Lord of Hanxue Mountain, Wang Yu is a popular commodity without an owner. If he doesn't try to recruit him under his command now, then when will he wait?
Using Yan Ling as bait was just a test. Now it seems that this guy is not interested in women, and he has not heard any rumors about him having many wives and concubines.
Then we can only use "progress" as bait.
“I know why you’re here. It’s nothing more than for a seat in the Council of Elders, but the number and seats are fixed. You can’t challenge the elders of the Zhuo and Zuoqiu clans.
"The only way is to select the right-hand man under my command. Do you think it will succeed?"
Wang Yu feels that he can win, but he can’t do it!
In addition to the seats mentioned above, Demon Lord Tianshuang also has two seats, both of whom are elders of the Ji family.
He believed that he had the Yellow Springs Earth Resentful Puppet and the fourth-order early stage spiritual consciousness as his trump cards, so defeating one or two of the twelve elders should not be a problem.
But if I did it, I would be enemies with Demon Lord Tianshuang again.
If they agreed to the Mountain Lord's request, they would still be enemies with the Sky Frost Demon Lord, and would even be regarded as a thorn in the eye. After all, the four old clans had tasted the benefits of cooperating with him...
It is really difficult to survive in this damn Demon Sect. No matter what decision you make, you have to face a Nascent Soul!
Sometimes Wang Yu would wonder what his situation would be like if he chose to develop in the right way.
Unfortunately, Taihu Lake has always held a destructive attitude towards the secret method of seizing qualifications. If he had not made his fortune with the secret spell of the demon fetus, he would be just a child who had established his foundation.
Want to form a pill with useless spiritual roots? Even if he puts all the skills in all the placement bars, it may not work. The efficiency is too low.
So he just thought about it.
"Make a decision quickly. I have to go and retrieve the Blood Abyss Sacred Talisman later. I don't have the time to waste time with you."
Wang Yu suddenly raised his lowered head.
A light bulb went off in his mind. The Blood Abyss Holy Talisman in his hand was exactly what Zuo Qiuming had given him. This thing was specially developed for the Blood Abyss.
Basically useless in the outside world.
The solution to the current deadlock lies in Zuo Qiuming. The Zuo Qiu family also has fixed seats in the Hanxue Elders Council, a total of four seats.
Contact Lao Ming, maybe you can get help from him.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu spoke.
"Master, I will go back and think about it. I will give you a reply in three days at most. Then I will inform Yan Ling to change the content of the alchemy cooperation."
"what ever."
The Lord of Hanyun Mountain seemed to have run out of patience. Seeing that he chose to delay, he waved his hand and a gust of cold wind blew him directly to the entrance of the dojo.
Wang Yu sat down on the steps in a slightly embarrassed manner.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes. Why pretend? If all else fails, he can just turn to Father Yu for help. With Tangtang's support, he will still be able to make it!
The purpose of coming here on my own initiative this time has failed, but at least I have figured out what the Lord of Hanxue Mountain meant, so it is not a complete loss.
Zhuo Shouqing is unreliable, but Zuo Qiuming should be able to succeed.
I just don't know if his status in the Zuoqiu clan can reach the same level of support as Zhuo Shouqing, if they think he is not worthy of a seat in the Elders' Council.
Then he's really in trouble.
As for the blood pool baptism, Wang Yu did not ask clearly. He thought about it and went back home.
A generation of grassroots monks wanted to make a name for themselves in the Nilingxue Sect.
Apart from the support of powerful forces, the only way to go is to use the chicken to lay eggs. Wang Yu has just left the support of the Zhuo family, and he is already having a hard time.
There is no other way except sighing and lamenting.
After returning to the cave, he did not sit and wait, but tried to contact Wei Hao. In addition to inquiring about the blood pool baptism, he asked him to help contact Zuo Qiuming.
In theory, Zuo Qiuming is practicing in Xiongming Peak, but in reality he seldom goes there. It would be more appropriate to entrust this matter to Ding Ming, but this guy has been... since they met in Xueyuan.
The person disappeared directly and was not seen in the Bleeding Abyss.
There is a high probability that an accident has occurred, so he can only ask Wei Hao for help. If the person is not at Xiongming Peak, then he will have to send someone to Xianyin to find him.
Three days may not be enough.
But the reason why Wang Yu said this was based on his estimate of the situation on Zhuo Shouyun's side. Now they were racing against time, and getting a seat on the Elders' Council could save them a lot of trouble.
Can’t get it? Then kill as many as you can!
As long as he doesn't send out a real Nascent Soul cultivator, Wang Yu is absolutely sure to defeat Fu Xiao.
However, this was out of the scope of the dispute between the two Zhuos, and he was not sure how much strength the other party could borrow. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so he should make preparations and try.
You should always strive for it.
As for the blood pool baptism, Wei Hao explained it to him clearly. It will be held in the Blood Demon Palace. According to the usual rules, it will definitely be held within a month after leaving the Blood Abyss.
There is no need to worry about being strangled by the Lord of Hanxue Mountain. He does not have the right to do so.
Two days later.
An unexpected but reasonable person visits.
Wang Yu exclaimed in surprise: "Senior Huang Jiu?!!"
