"Eh--"
Rapidly browsing this person's memory, Wang Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and doubt. This person was named Radiant Bear, and his age was just over three hundred years old, still quite young.
But he was actually a scout from the Nether Mountain Sect infiltrated into the Yellow Springs Temple. His mission was to investigate the whereabouts of the Yellow Springs Temple's High-Grade Spirit Stones.
The Deathly Still Desert was the work of the Yellow Springs Temple, but High-Grade Spirit Stones cannot be manufactured through formations or manual methods. They can only be naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth.
"Investigate the whereabouts of High-Grade Spirit Stones."
Honestly speaking, the intelligence missing was too serious, and he found it hard to understand the meaning of this kind of mission. Moreover, this was still a long-term mission; during the period of lurking, just waiting was enough.
Besides this piece of intelligence, there was also the whereabouts of the experts from Yellow White City.
"Earth Spirit Fruit Tree!"
Wang Yu's attention was almost completely attracted by this news.
This kind of ancient Spirit Root, the fruit it bears is named [Earth Spirit Fruit]. After a Core Formation Cultivator consumes it, it can increase a large amount of Magical Power limit, known as the "Natural Magic Pill".
It's definitely a Third-Order Spirit Item, but if it's used by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the increase will be even more exaggerated.
If he could seize one, it could greatly reduce his Core Formation time.
Earth Spirit Fruit Trees have long been extinct in this world. They are products of the Ancient Era. Following the memory to look further down...
Indeed.
It was precisely the treasure tree dug out from within the [Ancient Ruins - Eastern Extremes Capital].
"This is indeed a blessed land."
According to the intelligence in the memory, Yellow White City then sent three Peak Core Formation Cultivators. The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree was initially discovered by a Rogue Cultivator.
At that time, it was cleaned out by this person. He even couldn't wait and consumed one on the spot. As a result, in the process of refining, he encountered a team of Explore the Depths Cultivators.
Then, the news spread out.
Wave after wave of people died inside. Finally, it was determined that there were a total of sixteen mature Earth Spirit Fruits. The Nine Cities of Moonchasing Province then secretly dispatched experts to go and compete for them.
Besides the Earth Spirit Fruit, the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree was also the key point of their competition.
Having understood the reason.
Wang Yu couldn't help but be tempted. Scanning around the perimeter, after putting away all the spoils of war, he again used these two guys' tokens to thoroughly search the Yellow White City Lord's Mansion one more time.
Surprisingly.
As a garrison place at the front line of Moonchasing Province, the Spirit Objects prepared here are real! Many. Unfortunately, many are First Tier consumables, mainly talismans and medicinal pills.
Stored in boxes and boxes of spatial boxes, but because Spatial Equipment cannot mutually store each other, they were all shifted by him into his own Sea Heart Ring.
As a Top-Tier Cosmos Ring, it still has this little capacity.
The higher-grade Spirit Objects were almost all taken away by those Core Formations. On the contrary, Spirit Stones had a large surplus, a full five million plus, piled up like a small mountain, and were all picked up and taken away by him.
In the Yellow White City Treasure Vault, the most precious items were nothing more than consumable Magic Artifacts, with a rank comparable to Lightning Tribulation Pellets, but what they released was a kind of Divine Sense strike.
Called [Yellow Springs Shriek], its appearance is like a conch shell. It can be used in stacks. Wang Yu harvested a small box in total, roughly twenty or so. It feels like it will be very useful.
This kind is typical military supplies and is definitely not allowed to be individually taken away from Yellow White City.
And it's again different from those high-grade rare Spirit Objects.
"Even small-scale actions can get so many things. Truly worthy of being an Overlord Power, they play really elaborate games."
Muttering to himself a bit.
Wang Yu was just preparing to leave, but suddenly stopped, lowered his head and examined the token in his hand. This was the City Lord's Token searched out from Elder Li's Cosmos Ring.
Its efficacy was similar to Spirit Token's.
If he were to do it alone, there would definitely be some who escape, and it would be easy for news to leak. If it's done by a Formation, then it would definitely have no relation to him.
"Hehe."
Inserting the token into the Formation Core, Wang Yu again poured in over ten thousand Spirit Stones as an energy supply.
Within Yellow White City, a streak of diamond-glazed-like transparent curtain enveloped the City. Many Cultivators waiting for news of Elder Li and Elder Radiant Bear, gradually felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Wuu wuu wuu~~~"
Wailing Ghost Flute resounded loudly!
Since they are enemies, then there is no need for pity.
...
Several days later.
Stepping into Moonchasing Province Territory and approaching Wang Long City, Wang Yu was somewhat headache-y as he used True Essence to regulate the Wailing Ghost Flute, this Low-Grade Magic Treasure.
Due to the sudden unexpected event in Yellow White City, its Ghost Domain Power was filled for the first time, and the number of Soul Devouring Yin Crows reached three thousand, already reaching the limit.
According to the previous design, it still has one more promotion opportunity.
It just depends on what materials Wang Yu refines into it. This step needs a Refining Grandmaster to take action.
Currently.
Raising his head and looking, the nearly hundred meters high City Wall came into view.
"This is Wang Long City?"
This trip is for the sake of the Earth Spirit Fruit. Considering the gap in strength and looking at the situation of multi-party competition, competing alone, the probability of getting it is not high.
He can only borrow power. He remembers that the Wei Clan's scale is equivalent to a First-Rate Force, and within the Clan there are Nascent Souls. Although they might not help Wei Hao guard Wang Long City...
...they can still provide not a few Core Formation level assistance. If he really wants to compete, Wei Hao here might have some probability of obtained.
Arriving at Wang Long City, Wang Yu did not wear the Netherworld Ghost Mask.
Instead, he used his true appearance as a Disciple-at-large. This is Saint Sect Territory, no need to hide.
With his Identity formally visiting, he immediately got an audience.
Wang Long City Lord's Mansion.
"Hahaha, City Lord Wang, how do you have time to visit Wei today? I heard you gave Spirit Token to a Young Master of the Zuo Qiu Family."
"There is this matter."
Wei Hao displayed a welcoming attitude, inviting Wang Yu to take a seat, but in his expression, it was hard to hide his fatigue. According to what he saw when entering the City, the Wang Long City Cultivators were all very uneasy.
The situation that had originally been stalemated for nearly ten years, because of the unexpected event in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, suffered intentional retaliation from the Yellow Springs Temple. How could it not make people terrified?
After all, six out of nine City Lords were suddenly gone. Wei Hao and the others not immediately retreating and abandoning the Cities of Moonchasing Province was already considered guts surpassing ordinary people.
After the maidservant served tea and retreated from the Guest Meeting Hall...
Wang Yu directly got straight to the point.
"I was originally mingling in the You Province area and was just preparing to go south to [Peach State] to find some Purple-Gold Peaches to improve my Cultivation Level.
"But on this road, I heard that the Eastern Pole Capital again produced a treasure, so I thought to come over and ask Brother Wei if you have any intention to compete for it."
Hearing this, Wei Hao was somewhat stunned.
He really wanted to say that Earth Spirit Fruit is for Core Formation Cultivators, and you are only Foundation Establishment, there's no need to be so extravagant.
Moreover, Wang Long City is in a precarious situation, entirely relying on the stalemate of negotiations to maintain City stability.
Even so, there are still not a few Fellow Disciples retreating, no longer following him to "seek wealth and honor in danger."
Therefore, even knowing that the Earth Spirit Fruit could allow him to quickly establish a foothold in the Core Formation Realm, he did not dispatch too much manpower to pursue it.
The power that Wei Clan could mobilize was almost all placed at the You Province border, monitoring the movements of those reinforcements from the Yellow Springs Temple.
"Sorry, City Lord Wang.
"Although the Earth Spirit Fruit is precious, Wei is currently having difficulty even with self-preservation, so how could I go pursue this kind of Spirit Object? I have already reported the news to Celestial Corpse Peak.
"If Personal Disciple Jiang is interested, he will naturally come to compete for it."
Personal Disciple, meaning a Nascent Soul's disciple. There are only ten who are recognized by the Sect.
People like Young Lord Fu Luo Chen are disciples privately accepted by Nascent Soul Ancestors. Although their status is high, they cannot compete for positions like "Mountain Lord" or "Hall Master", nor can they obtain top-tier resource cultivation.
Nascent Soul Ancestors need to personally conduct resource exchanges for them.
--Earth Spirit Fruit!
Undoubtedly, it is the top-tier kind of Resource.
To the Sect, what's precious is the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, not those dozen or so fruits that have been eaten, no one knows how many.
The fruit tree is in the Eastern Pole Capital, not within the Moonchasing Province Range. In this aspect, the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect is advantageous.
Wei Hao not competing shows he sees it very clearly, but Wang Yu couldn't help but be somewhat disappointed.
Unable to borrow power, could it be that he should dispatch Spirit Token and those people to compete?
Besides True Person Qing Yang who can be considered useful, he basically has no very useful subordinates. For a moment, Wang Yu was somewhat discouraged, and he cupped his hands and said,
"Since that's the case, then I will take my leave."
Wei Hao, observing this, quickly told him to wait, called over a few subordinates, and sent a piece of intelligence about the Earth Spirit Fruit to give to Wang Yu.
"The intelligence that City Lord Wang gave initially helped Wei a lot. Although I cannot fully assist today, providing a slight bit of intelligence is still no problem."
"Many thanks."
Receiving the Intelligence Scroll, Wang Yu then left the City Lord's Mansion.
He had just left not long ago when a figure darted into the Room.
Wei Hao immediately frowned. This was a scout he had deployed at the You Province border. His Cultivation Level was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, proficient in the Concealment and Evasion Technique, and was an elite nurtured by the Wei Clan.
"Young Master, Yellow White City, the nearest to Wang Long City, was destroyed several days ago. All four thousand three hundred plus Cultivators in the entire City completely died out, and there was no trace of corpses or souls.
"According to the traces, your subordinate judges that there were no obvious traces of Combat Techniques. More... more of it was Formation bombardment, or rather, they were directly crushed to death by Yellow White City's [Golden Iron Glazed Wall Formation]."
Wei Hao: "..."
Within the Room, the atmosphere was silent for a long time before he then asked,
"Have any suspicious figures emerged?"
"Temporarily, there has been no discovery, however... City Lord Wang Yu seems to have also come from that direction.
"He just slightly deviated some distance. He might have come from within You Province, or he might have come from Yellow White City."
"Wang Yu?"
Wei Hao Considered it, but still involuntarily denied it.
"You are overthinking it. Brother Wang's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was less than a hundred years ago. How could he possibly do this kind of thing? Continue to investigate."
"Yes!"
"By the way, since Yellow White City is destroyed, move the manpower from there back and have them go find news about the Earth Spirit Fruit."
"Yes!"
After the round of dialogue finished, Wei Hao touched his chin. In his heart, he felt that the Yellow White City matter was very likely done by Wang Yu, especially considering when they just met.
The opponent's body had a dense Bloody Smell, and in his eyes, there seemed to be Killing Intent that had not yet dispersed. It looked very much like someone who had experienced a slaughter in the short-term.
The reason he said that to his subordinates was just that he didn't want the news to leak out.
"If you really have this Capability, Wei might as well follow and gamble on it."
"Someone come! Quickly go and invite City Lord Wang Yu back!"
Moment later.
Wang Yu had a face full of inexplicable confusion.
"Brother Wei, what are you doing? I was just preparing to continue south to Peach State to seek a Fortuitous Encounter."
"Hahaha, City Lord Wang, please don't take offense.
"Just now, Wei carefully Considered it and felt that the Earth Spirit Fruit is indeed precious. This ancient Spirit Object, not competing for it is truly regrettable."
Wang Yu's expression was strange.
"But you just now still said that Wang Long City cannot take such a big risk."
"Seek wealth and honor in danger, you know. If I were afraid of death, Wei wouldn't have really come to Moonchasing Province."
Wang Yu's eyes widened, how is it this sentence again?
