The more Wang Yu listened, the more satisfied he beca.
The Spirit Spring Cold Pool could improve his talent, fertile lands would provide resources, and after directly reaching the peak of Foundation Establishnt, the road to Core Formation would finally have an entry ticket. As long as his ability was sufficient, everything would be smooth without obstruction.
Three investnt conditions had already paved the way for him, even better than his own plan.
However, Wang Yu soon cald down and asked.
"So… what are the conditions, or rather, what must I do."
"Simple."
Zuo Qiuming extended three fingers.
"Three resources. When we need them, you help us three tis. Very reasonable, right."
Without waiting for Wang Yu to inquire, he continued.
"Of course, we will not make you throw away your life, nor will we assign you tasks beyond your capability, nor force you to violate your principles or your true heart.
"There is only one thing. If we face a life-and-death crisis and you are present, you must risk your life to save us.
"When we send out the rescue jade talisman, under no circumstance can you refuse. Three tis. After three tis, the bond is dissolved. How about it."
Wang Yu fell silent. Not because their conditions were harsh.
Rather, they were too lenient.
For people of their identity to encounter deadly danger was already difficult, and yet they insisted that he could not refuse. Just how afraid of death were they. Or was it that their enemies were so powerful that such lenient terms were necessary.
In the demonic path, there was a well-known fact.
When the reward and the price did not match, it often ant that it was a life-snatching trap.
So were their enemies insiders…
Seeing that Wang Yu did not imdiately agree as they had expected, Yu Xing spoke up and added more weight.
"All of this is based on you breaking through Core Formation. If you remain in Foundation Establishnt, you can choose not to fulfill the obligation. This is our concession. If possible, let us sign a Nether River Contract."
The so-called Nether River Contract was an oath witnessed by the Nether River, possessing extrely strong binding power. Those who broke the oath would have their souls eternally dragged into the Nether River, suffering the punishnt of a thousand cuts, never able to transcend.
As for where the Nether River was, no one knew. It was not within the realms of righteous or demonic domains. It was a secret passed down from ancient tis in the demonic path.
It had been tested countless tis, and its authenticity needed no doubt.
After pondering for a long while.
Wang Yu discovered a problem. Three investnts, three opportunities to help, plus the condition that he only needed to fulfill them after breaking through to Core Formation. This ant that at the latest, he would still be able to partake in the Mystic Heaven Secret Realm.
This proved it was not an empty promise. And during cooperation, there would be long-term interaction between the four of them. It looked like only three investnts, but if used wisely, it would beco countless resources and benefits.
When others are greedy, I must be cautious. When others are cautious, I must be greedy.
All in.
Finally, Wang Yu decided to agree.
"Then it is settled, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiuming imdiately smiled kindly.
"Fourth brother, speak quickly. If it is possible, elder brother guarantees to help you."
Wang Yu nodded.
"I want a treasure that can enhance comprehension, whether temporary or weak but lasting."
"This…"
Treasures that improved comprehension were all supre treasures. Even temporary ones were extrely precious. The three of them looked at each other.
After a mont.
Yu Xing gritted his teeth and took out one item.
"This is the Heavenly Enlightennt ditation Cushion. Foundation Establishnt cultivators can use it to enhance comprehension by thirty percent. This treasure is extrely precious, so I cannot give it to you. I can only lend it to you for ten… no, five years, at most five years."
"That is enough."
Wang Yu showed a satisfied smile. With this treasure, he could save much ti.
Zhuo Shouqing, seeing this, took out the Nether River Contract. The four of them wrote down all the conditions. When everything was done and the contract signed, Wang Yu beca one of them.
After Wang Yu left, Zhuo Shouqing sighed.
"Old Yu, that Heavenly Enlightennt ditation Cushion was the treasure your elder sister exchanged for you from the sect, right. How many years did it take."
"Ten years."
"Tsk tsk, and you gave half away just like that. Thank you."
Yu Xing forced a smile.
"It is nothing. Since we all recognize Wang Yu’s potential, we must increase our investnt. The more we put in now, the greater the return when we need him in the future."
…
…
The matter had co to an end.
Wang Yu quickly planned his ti. The Spirit Spring Cold Pool could be visited anyti. He decided to first take out the inheritance jade slip he had obtained years ago from the underground palace of Blackbone Mountain.
As the Nascent Soul secret art Taiyin Nether Eyes, it was by no ans simple. It was unlocked in stages. Only when Wang Yu reached the corresponding realms would more content be revealed.
Now he was checking the cultivation thod for the Foundation Establishnt stage.
During the Qi Refining stage, the Moon Observation perspective had greatly helped him. He was extrely curious about this second stage. He impatiently poured in his divine sense, and brand-new information flooded his mind.
"Second stage, Illusionary Moon."
Before long, Wang Yu opened his eyes with great joy.
The so-called Illusionary Moon had two effects. First, it gave him the ability to pierce through illusions with his eyes and see the truth. Not only did it grant extraordinary insight against illusion techniques, but it also allowed him to see through so simple formations.
This ability would continue to grow stronger as his cultivation in the Taiyin Nether Eyes deepened.
The second effect gave Wang Yu the ability to cast an illusory domain with his eyes. As long as there was eye contact, the conditions for the spell were t.
This eye technique was called Illusionary Moon Domain.
Those caught in it would find themselves on a calm and deep water surface, with the moon hanging close by, exerting imnse pressure.
They would see on the water’s surface the things they feared most in their hearts, which would then take form in reality, constantly killing and tornting them.
It was truly an excellent ans of breaking one’s ntal defenses.
If paired with the Mysterious Origin Demonic Embryo, when Wang Yu plants demonic thoughts it becos much easier. Once planted they can be harvested, just like how he dealt with Wang Wu before.
The essence is the sa.
Ever since obtaining Dual Spiritual Roots, the Mysterious Origin Demonic Embryo has desired to further upgrade its aptitude. It can only target cultivators with Dual Spiritual Roots or above, which invisibly adds another layer of restriction.
This is reasonable.
Aside from the second stage power of Illusionary Moon, the perfected cultivation of Moon Observation has also been greatly enhanced, especially the passive effect of guiding Lunar Radiance to cleanse the soul.
Although this secret art belongs to the eye-type category, it is also greatly beneficial for divine sense cultivation. It laid an extrely solid foundation for Wang Yu, and when he cultivates the Ancient Soul Art in the future, it should beco easier.
Waking from the ocean of knowledge, Wang Yu checked his Idle Slots. The five slots he currently had were still not perfect.
Slot 1 and 2 contained Cold Blood Spirit Ascension Art, which could not be changed for now. Its effect of improving aptitude can be combined with the Cold Pool. Replacent will be considered at that ti.
Slot 5 contained Corpse Demon Secret Technique, which could not be moved.
Slot 4 contained Mysterious Yin Hand, which also could not be moved. This technique only needed another five years to reach perfection, at which point Wang Yu would gain a consummate trump card.
This had already been shown in his life and death battle against Old Lan of the Sword Sect. Even during Foundation Establishnt, this technique could unleash power equivalent to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt.
And it was of the highest grade among such techniques, worthy of being the core inheritance of Yellow Springs Temple.
With Mysterious Yin Hand, his battle strength was guaranteed and the cost to benefit ratio was extrely high.
After careful thought, the only movable one was Slot 3, Flood Dragon Force. Due to the Yin Nether Flood Dragon Spine, he could only rely on the Idle Slot’s deduction effect to produce a second-rank body Refining thod in the sa lineage.
It was actually one of the items Wang Yu had to keep in place.
But its daily feedback was too low, and it still had fifteen and a half years of placent remaining. In terms of efficiency, it was not that cost-effective.
“Better to remove it first. The body cultivation realm was originally ant to compensate for the missing arm’s blood and qi impact. In the short term whether or not it continues will not affect much.”
He gained so clarity.
After removing Flood Dragon Force, Wang Yu tested the idle tis of various inheritances one by one.
[Slot 3: Taiyin Nether Eye (second-rank)]
Taiyin Nether Eye (0/100): 24 session tis a day, Master in 5 years.
Change to another.
Ancient Soul Art (0/100): 48 session tis a day, Master in 20 years.
“Twenty years…”
Wang Yu frowned. Checking carefully, he found the difficulty of Ancient Soul Art was extrely high. It required absorbing Eastern Purple Qi, Noon Solar Essence, and Midnight Lunar Radiance, three forces to temper divine sense.
When perfected, it would grant the soul a supernatural talent called Ancient Soul, capable of resisting most forces of erosion in the cultivation world.
Each session required half an hour.
If he practiced by himself, he could at most do six tis a day. The Idle Slot could achieve 48 tis, without concern for the specific tis when those forces appeared.
Only with repeated absorption could efficiency be several tis that of his true body.
“This technique is troubleso.”
Change to another…
[Slot 3: Frost Moon Wings]
Frost Moon Wings (0/100): 48 session tis a day, Master in 10 years.
This was a second-rank high-grade escape technique, ten years.
Compared to Mysterious Yin Hand of the sa rank, the ti was cut in half. Not because Frost Moon Wings was weaker, but because Wang Yu himself had grown stronger.
Training a second-rank technique during Qi Refining compared to during Foundation Establishnt was not the sa. The foundations were different, so the ti could not possibly match.
Frost Moon Wings required absorbing Frost Moon Qi, opening two additional ridians in the back to control the technique. If paired with the Cold Moon Pill from the recipe, the speed of cultivation would skyrocket.
For Wang Yu, even without those resources, it would not stop him from mastering it.
“Acceptable.”
Afterward, Wang Yu tried out the thirteen inheritances of Soul-Sound Dual Path, along with the inheritance from Cold Blood Peak he obtained the day before, before finally making a decision.
“My ti serving in the Law Enforcent Hall will not be long. Once Zuo Qiuming and the others find a suitable place, I can step down and set out, at most three to five years.”
He calculated silently. So inheritances that required long periods to complete could be cultivated later when he reached the new location.
For now he would focus on those that could take effect in the short term, especially ones that improved strength.
“Taiyin Nether Eye.”
With the decision made, Wang Yu replaced Flood Dragon Force. If this period could be perfected, he would then switch to Ancient Soul Art, and after 20 progress points replace with Frost Moon Wings.
After all, cultivation thods could be practiced by oneself. Frost Moon Wings could not. Its requirents were too strict, so entering it directly through the Idle Slot was more convenient.
After solving the Idle Slot issue, he arranged a priority list, ordering each slot’s successor technique by necessity.
With this done, he also took out the recently obtained Enlightennt ditation Cushion. Besides cultivating, he began actively comprehending the Ancient Soul Art, hoping to grasp part of it himself first.
The night passed peacefully.
