Chapter 123 Heavenly Void Sword Sect
After checking Old Man Ning's Storage Pouch again and finding nothing more, Wang Yu began to examine the Spoils of War from this battle.
The Family Fortune of seven Late Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, the Spirit Stones seized directly were not as much as Old Man Ning's savings, only around eighteen thousand, but the various Magic Artifacts and Medicinal Pills and Talismans to deal with various situations were extremely numerous, adding up to over a hundred.
The value of this batch of physical objects reached twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
Seemingly wealthy, but in reality, just average.
After all, these were seven elites of the Late Qi Condensation Realm. Logically speaking, they should have begun accumulating resources to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm, but being in the Taihu Region was simply too dangerous.
It was estimated that most of their Family Fortune was hidden somewhere in the Sect, and they carried at most one-third on their bodies.
In addition to this, there were also some Arts and Techniques Classics they had harvested during missions, many of which were duplicates, which should have been shared among them.
Roughly divided into five categories, only some were useful to him.
"Thousand Mile Divine Travel" (Thousand Mile Swift Travel), "Levitation Art" (Floating in Air Technique), "Concealing Breath Art" (Qi Gathering Technique), "Turtle Breath Secret Method" (Turtle Breath Technique), "Five Elements Arts Path: Qi Condensation Realm".
High-Grade Technique Thousand Mile Divine Travel, a superior method for rushing on journeys, just right to make up for his shortcomings in long-distance rapid travel.
Generally speaking, a Cultivator must Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm before they have the ability to learn escape techniques, which are true aerial combat techniques, almost running through a Cultivator's entire life.
In other aspects, perhaps only the Turtle Breath Secret Method might have a chance to play a role. Levitation Art and Concealing Breath Art are of little use to him, as for the Five Elements Arts Path, it records small Techniques related to the Five Elements.
All of them are Low Grade small Techniques of the First Level, hardly of any use in improving Strength, but they can help him a lot in daily life.
This is a Low Grade Techniques compendium. If separated and placed individually, each Technique requires fifteen days to reach Perfection, and the entire book cannot be placed together.
Wang Yu planned to select a few highly practical ones to learn.
After all, he has a Five Elements Spirit Root, which is quite comprehensive. Cultivation Practice and use of Five Elements Mystical Arts are at normal efficiency. He neither enjoys the benefits of the Spirit Root, nor does he face greatly increased difficulty due to different attributes.
Just mediocre.
Sometimes he would also think, if it were a Heavenly Spirit Root level Five Elements Spirit Root, perhaps it would be a natural Five Elements Spirit Body, but unfortunately, his Spirit Root is too short, not even as long as a Low-Grade Spirit Root.
"That's about it."
Collecting his thoughts, Wang Yu once again deployed the Eight Directions Bewildering Spirit Array near Stone Lake. He had not forgotten that when the team had just entered the Taihu Region, six people had gone north and disappeared.
Perhaps they would return, or perhaps they would not, but the necessary preparations still had to be made. It's always better to be cautious.
Next, he would lie low in Stone Lake for quiet Cultivation Practice, waiting for the day Wang Wu returned. He had made arrangements at the Wang Residence. Once those two First Level of Qi Condensation cultivators made contact with Wang Wu, he would know immediately.
Rummaging through the numerous Storage Pouches, Wang Yu found several bottles of Medicinal Pills, filled with a kind of Spirit Pill called [Water-Avoiding Pill] (Water-Evasion Pill), the Effect was very simple.
It could give people the ability to Breath underwater. If kept still, the Medicinal Effect could last for ten days.
He also used the Alchemy Art spell seals to verify it, confirming there was no toxicity before taking one, and directly sank to the bottom of the water, ceasing all movement.
Who knew this wait would be three months.
......
......
Stone Lake City, City Lord's Mansion.
Ever since the incident of Late Qi Condensation Realm cultivators fighting in the city three months ago, the entire City Lord's Mansion had been completely under martial law, even reaching a state of extreme nervousness.
There were also Cultivators proficient in the Path of Investigation hidden at the four City Gates, attempting to find the troublemakers.
The new City Lord's surname was Yuan, not very old, just past his sixtieth birthday not long ago, from the same lineage as the Old City Lord, considered a somewhat well-known figure in the Vulture Sect.
His Cultivation Level had reached Sixth Level of Qi Condensation not long ago. Don't look down on this Cultivation Level, in fact, it was already quite good, especially since the Vulture Sect was just a small Sect with a Peak Foundation Establishment Realm at its highest.
If he worked hard, around a hundred years old, he might have a chance to attempt a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm.
To achieve his goal, he needed a large supply of Resources.
A small Stone Lake City was completely insufficient. The Resources generated by the Spirit Vein were completely insufficient for him to Breakthrough quickly, so turning his attention to "people" was an obvious idea.
Thus, a secret Trade spanning two Spirit Domains officially unfolded. Selling talents with low Aptitude was only one aspect, the greater Benefit lay in the deeper plan.
He was doing things for the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, specifically, it could be narrowed down to a certain senior from Frigid Blood Peak. Perhaps there were also people from other Demon Sects involved, dragging the entire Vulture Sect down with them.
And this time, not long after Old Man Ning finished talking about the Trade with him, a fight broke out in the city. Apart from the residual bloodstains, almost no clues were left behind.
Even the Spirit Energy remaining in the air was deliberately dispersed.
Yuan Qu was very worried that he had been discovered. On the land of the Taihu Region, there were seven Nascent Soul Realm Dao Lineages in total, besides the Azure Cloud Sect, Thunder Fire Temple, and Moon Gazing Palace bordering the Demon Domain.
There were also Crane Return Valley, Blazing Sun Sect, Heavenly Void Sword Sect, and North Suppressing Tower. These seven major Factions were headed by the [Heavenly Void Sword Sect] as the most honored, the leader of the Righteous Path, with more than twenty Nascent Soul Cultivators, and an ordered Inheritance, with geniuses and demons emerging in endlessly.
It had already stood on this land for more than ten thousand years, a truly ancient Dao Lineage!
And what Yuan Qu feared was precisely the disciples of the Sword Sect. In the Heavenly Void Sword Sect, there was a special institution called the [Righteous Qi Institute] (Righteousness Institute). Those who could enter this place were all extremely outstanding Cultivators.
Whether in Comprehension, Aptitude, character, Fortuitous Encounter... etc., no matter what aspect they had extraordinary talent in, they could enter.
After completing their twenty-year course of study, they would become [Wanderer of the World]. The specific number was not fixed, it was said that there was a currency system called "Dao Merit" inside.
The Wanderers of the World eliminated demons and defended the Righteous Path in the Taihu Region, sweeping away injustices in the world. When Dao Merit accumulated to a certain level, they could return to the Sect, and from then on be listed as True Disciples, and could directly take a Nascent Soul Cultivator as their teacher.
From this point of view, the True Inheritors of the Heavenly Void Sword Sect had more weight and were even more outstanding than the True Disciples of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect.
In short, the Sword Sect Wanderers were like a blade of judgment.
They could appear anywhere, and their numbers were constantly increasing.
And the changes in Stone Lake City were very much like the style of the Sword Sect Wanderers. Once they discovered someone violating the rules of the Righteous Path, they would behead them without mercy.
Now that Old Man Ning's life and death were unknown, Yuan Qu was worried that he had been captured alive. If more information was extracted under interrogation, he would also suffer, but he also held a few glimmers of hope in his heart.
"What if, what if it was people from the Demonic Path fighting among themselves?"
"Or maybe something else happened."
Internal strife was a normal phenomenon in the Demonic Path, as normal as mortals needing to drink water and eat every day, nothing to be surprised about.
Now three months had passed, and there was still no reaction, the possibility of it being Sword Sect Wanderers was getting lower and lower. It was time to continue pushing forward with the plan.
The Vulture Sect seemed to have the same idea.
Therefore, today a group of people secretly entered the city.
