The idea of demon beasts sounds terrifying, but in reality, they are even more terrifying than they sound.
The weakest demon beasts may be so weak that they are unimaginable, such as those who only know one spell and are physically weak to the point where refining their blood essence is not worth it, but yet they can bear seven-grade spirit materials Paeonia Alliiacea Bulbus.
Some demon beasts are incredibly fierce, such as the human-faced snake that is now rushing towards the person in front of them. Their strength is so great that they can break through the spiritual defense of the Jade Tower's soul belt within two hundred blows——do not laugh, it is very strong.
Defensive spirit weapons are designed to serve the combat needs of foundation cultivation practitioners, and their defensive power is naturally incredibly strong. Some special spiritual essences even actively take on the responsibility of defense.
The human-faced snake, after a full-force attack of two hundred strikes, can break through the spiritual defense of a medium-quality spirit weapon belt, which is incredibly strong.
The human-faced snake demon, with its talent, strength, and agility characteristic of anthropomorphic demons, is able to possess such power is no wonder.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing the Yulou standing motionless, Xue Wu Shuhao's eyes turned red with rage and loudly shouted, while raising his own magical artifact, a medium-quality three-pointed spear.
He was already swearing in his heart.
He was cursing Wang Yulou as a waste, cursing the families of the Drip Water Cave for their shamelessness, and cursing this cruel world for forcing him into a quagmire and the bottom rung.
People like Wang Yulou, with low cultivation and zero combat power, can still directly become disciples of the Azure Water Palace and even get the lucrative position of the guardian cultivator in the Fishing Port Town.
The rotten world forced Xue Wu Shuhao to lick Wang Yulou, but just after he licked it once, Wang Yulou was about to be devoured by the snake's mouth, how could he not be anxious in his heart?
As the human-faced snake rushed straight towards Yu L lou who had just started practicing Qi cultivation, Cui Dingyi on the other side of the river was also scared out of his wits, his face turning pale in an instant.
Guys, are the disciples of your big family really that useless?
He was aware that if Wang Yulou, a high-ranking offspring of a noble family, was killed by a demon beast on his first day in office, they two would become some kind of sacrifice.
Whether or not they are at fault, the elders who have reached the foundation-building stage cannot let them off.
Choosing to gamble, Cui Dingyi activated the Light Body Formula and Thousand Mile Formula to their full potential!
However, how could Yu Lou possibly be scared by a snake that can't even break through its defense?
The reason he hadn't moved was purely because he was weighing, how much power and treasures to reveal.
He was taught by the Red Eyebrows refining master, born into the Anbei King family, and can also refine magic weapons. Yu Lou has all kinds of magical artifacts used by foundation cultivation practitioners in combat - even two gourds used to disperse poison fog!
Why two, you ask?
Fellow cultivator, it is always better to be prepared! Always better to be prepared!
So, facing this small demon in the realm of human-faced snakes, Yu Lou was actually very conflicted and conflicted.
The jade blade given by the clan chief was brought out, even able to clash with the crimson magical sword that hangs first in the Hall of Merit - slicing through the human-faced snake was as easy as slicing a cucumber.
Can it be used? Yes, but it's not necessary.
He came to practice, not to boast, showing off valuable treasures and possibly being watched by an unsuspecting idiot, what if he was targeted?
Playing it safe isn't bad. Han Tianzun was able to go so far because he was proficient in the art of survival, and it was only gradually that he waited for his time.
Therefore, after thinking it over, Yu Lou chose to summon He Laosan first.
"Old Third, come quickly!"
In combat, it's similar to a team battle; positioning and maneuvering are essential.
He Laosan flew up from the ground, seeing a small demonic snake coming, he frightened and flapped his wings faster.
Wang Yulou jumped flexibly onto the back of He Laosan and then activated the medium-quality copper sword with thirteen layers of restrictions.
The flying sword moved deftly around in a spiral before the Water Current Technique, and the only one of the snake demon's three Water Current attacks that hit its mark was cut through.
The medium-quality copper sword is specifically for breaking spells!
"Old Third, don't run away! Keep a distance of twenty zhang from that snake demon!"
"Ga ga ga!"
"At most, two spirit blood pills!"
"Ga ga ga!"
Bargaining during a combat is something that He Laosan is too accustomed to, and Yu L lou directly commanded him.
"If you don't listen, I'll make you into a spirit blood pill!"
I won't tolerate your bad habits!
Seeing Wang Yulou get angry, Old Three dared not negotiate anymore. It carefully controlled the distance and started to do as Yu L lou commanded.
"Crappy birds are fussy, they need to be trained more before they understand!"
On the other side, Xue Wu Shuhao and Cui Dingyi, seeing Wang Yulou ride a spirit bird and fly into the sky, the hearts they were hanging can finally be put down.
Fellow cultivator, you nearly scared us to death just now.
"You die, we don't have much of a life left either."
"You should quickly hide to the side, brother Yu L, I will take care of this snake demon!" said Cui Dingyi.
Finally reaching the battlefield, Cui Dingyi, who had arrived later, did not activate his magical artifact but instead held a special crescent-shaped shovel and charged directly towards the human-faced snake.
This person, although only at the third level of cultivation, has climbed from a commoner to a cultivator step by step, which can be said to be incredibly motivating. As he has the foundation of a cultivator, he even dares to engage in physical combat with a demon beast.
Flying high in the sky, Wang Yulou glanced at the battlefield and found that the villagers of Huxia Village by the river had started to evacuate voluntarily, while the foundation cultivation practitioners under the protection of the garrison cultivators had begun to surround over and find opportunities.
He naturally had no intention of running away. As the only Azure Water Cave disciple in Huxia Village by the river, Wang Yulou is actually a potential leader here - Xue Wu Shuhao's attitude is the best example.
If he ran, in the future, Xue Wu Shuhao and Cui Dingyi might still respect him, but his status would be gone.
Yu Lou doesn't care about status, but if he wants to build a foundation in Di Shui Grotto, let alone walk further, he must cultivate his own power. Huxia Village by the river is small, but it just happens to fit Yu L lou's current strength.
If managed well, it could become a small basic base that belongs to him in the future.
"The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step." If Wang Yulou wants to achieve greater things, he must be careful.
Seeing Wang Yulou, this person who doesn't follow the code of conduct, ascended to the sky, the human-faced snake angrily launched two more Water Current attacks, but they were easily shattered by the medium-quality copper sword.
How could such a small snake demon understand the might of breaking laws with a medium-quality copper sword?
The common people do not understand the cultivation levels of cultivators; they only see Wang Yulou fighting the snake demon on the sky while riding a spiritual crane, and immediately started cheering.
The snake demon on shore, seeing more and more people gathering, was enraged and howled, then began to gather energy.
When Wang Yulou's medium-quality copper sword struck the snake demon, it couldn't even break through its scales, sliding off the sticky fluid on the outside. Because of the distance, he couldn't even control his sword to attack the snake demon's weak points.
Xue Wu Shuhao's three-pointed spear hit the human-faced snake's tail twice, but the adhesive fluid on its tail was even more, directly washing away Xue Wu Shuhao's attack.
"It's trying to escape with a flood mist technique, fast, earth wall! Earth wall!"
Cui Dingyi noticed the snake demon's attempt to escape and immediately reminded the foundation cultivation practitioners to use the earth wall technique to block its path.
Wang Yulou frowned and directly threw away the medium-quality copper sword, then summoned a wooden seal made of red wood.
With one strike of Fire Art, the fire oil outside the red wood seal was ignited immediately. The sealing impression, burning with a fierce fire, struck down like a meteor towards the human-faced snake demon.
If the adhesive fluid and scales are difficult to deal with, then burn the adhesive fluid with fire and use the large hammer of the seal to deliver internal injuries!
However, the flood mist technique of the snake demon has been activated. In a radius of dozens of meters around it, a large white mist quickly spread out. The earth wall technique of foundation cultivation practitioners is too weak to stop the snake demon.
Xue Wu Shuhao was desperately activating his three-pointed spear, trying to find the snake demon's tracks in the mist.
Wang Yulou's red wood seal did burn the snake demon, but it was just a single hit. Seeing that the snake demon was really trying to escape, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Old Three, go to the edge of the mist!"
He Laosan unwillingly flew towards the direction of the mist, Cui Dingyi seeing this, quickly shouted.
"Brother Yu L, don't take any risks, let it go. We can't stop it."
Wang Yulou didn't reply, just silently took out the third magical artifact, a small flying sword made of cold bing iron, with only ten layers of restrictions.
But for the snake demon whose adhesive fluid had been mostly burned off, this medium-quality entry-level flying sword was enough to take its life!
Cold Bing Iron, with added sharpness restrictions, can cut through anything.
"Ssss~"
The human-faced snake let out a hiss, and suddenly burst out of the white mist. The cultivators saw that half of its body had no adhesive fluid left, and immediately began to launch a fierce attack.
But they had not dared to approach the white mist earlier, and now they were too far from the snake demon at the edge of the mist, so they couldn't subdue it.
But mere intimidation would be enough. Being attacked and forced to constantly move positions, the snake demon has already revealed a flaw while avoiding the attacks.
The cold Bing iron flying sword that Yu L lou used was originally intended for sale and can be considered a piece of practice work. It is as long as the forearm and has good thickness. The material of the cold Bing iron itself, combined with the unique restrictions, makes its attacking power stand out among the rest.
Under Yu L lou's control, the flying sword directly headed towards the snake demon's chest - he was afraid of hitting the face and couldn't control it, so he chose the chest, which was certain to achieve success.
Seeing the human-faced snake demon, who was riding a bird, approaching it so closely, the snake demon ignored the flying sword and directly charged towards Wang Yulou.
This time, it had learned from its initial mistakes and did not launch irrelevant Water Current techniques - even a demon beast knows that the Water Current technique is not effective.
It chose to fully tap into its body's potential, accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate!
Just hoping to bite that damned bird before it flies away, and then bite to death the weakest, uncivilized cultivator among them!
However, the snake demon, charging and accelerating fiercely, collided directly with the cold Bing iron small flying sword. Upon impact, the flying sword easily opened a fist-sized hole in the snake demon's chest.
But the terror of the demon beast lies in the fact that the hole in its chest did not make the human-faced snake give up; instead, it further ignited its ferocity.
Seeing that the snake demon, with cultivation level much higher than itself, had come over, He Laosan was frightened and fled backwards. But as a spirit bird of the Crane family, its disadvantage as a bird-type flying creature was revealed at this moment - in short-term turning and acceleration, it had no significant advantages.
Even just a backward move did not allow He Laosan to distance itself from the snake demon, but instead shortened the distance between them.
The turn affected He Laosan's speed, but the snake demon was continuously accelerating!
Wang Yulou's brow furrowed, and the Baili Yu Liangxiao Form has been clenched in his hand, but he did not immediately activate it at first. Instead, he continued to manipulate the cold Bing iron flying sword towards the snake demon.
Penetrate the chest again!
The snake demon continued to accelerate.
Cut off its left arm!
The snake demon groaned in pain.
First, the snake demon watched helplessly as its distance from the damned bird grew closer, but soon, the bird mysteriously grew farther away again.
By the time it realized that it could no longer catch up with the flying bird, it was too late.
How could a snake on the ground or in the water cope with a flying bird in the sky?
That is racial suppression. If the one chasing the spiritual crane was a wolf spirit or a dog spirit, they might be able to leap up with their limbs, trying to reach the flying bird in the sky.
But snakes can't do that. The human-faced snake is a snake after all, it doesn't have legs, so it can't leap up.
Watching Xue Wu Shuhao and Cui Dingyi take turns attacking the snake demon, whose flesh had been cut into pieces by Wang Yulou's cold Bing iron flying sword, Wang Yulou didn't speak, but instead waved his hand to summon back the three magical artifacts he used in the exorcism.
"Xue Wu, Old Cui, you two calm the villagers down. I'll head back first."
After saying that, Wang Yulou boarded the spiritual crane and left.
Xue Wu Shuhao did not hesitate, instantly lowering his head to accept the order. Cui Dingyi, seeing his flattery, could only recognize Wang Yulou as their leader.
Thus, on the first day entering Hewan Village, Wang Yulou secured the position of the person in charge of the place with his strength.
Although his cultivation may not be high, he exudes the greatest confidence during combat.
With the foundation to protect oneself, one naturally dares to exert one's full might.
The common folk don't understand. What they see is the snake demon emerging from the mist, chasing the new immortal master who is riding a spiritual crane and biting at him, ferocious and formidable.
As a result, the new immortal master who had just arrived was not ordinary. With one sword stroke after another, he reduced the snake demon to a state where it could only gasp for breath and couldn't even dare to retaliate.
"Thank the immortal master for expelling the snake demon!"
"Great benefits and kindness from the immortal master!"
"Wishing the immortal master endless blessings!"
Seeing Wang Yulou ride the crane away, Cui Dingyi shook his head. What kind of mess is this?
The descendants of a great family can casually produce one after another medium-quality magical artifacts, each with different functions. What's there to compare with such people?
However, if you ask which aspect of Wang Yulou that Cui Dingyi envies the most, it is actually the spiritual crane he possesses.
It's not much of a face to have a peak Jieyao Realm spirit bird. However, the taming and cultivation of spirit birds are extremely resource-intensive and laborious. To have such a beautiful spirit bird, Wang Yulou has already reached the peak of foundation cultivation practitioners.
You said Wang Xianzhou's red parrot is the peak of Jieyao Realm, and Wang Xianzhou is the top of the face of foundation cultivation practitioners?
Please, Grandpa Xianzhou belongs to the category of existence whose development ceiling can be compared to that of Aningle as soon as they succeed in building the foundation.
In the shadows, Xue Wu Shuhao and Cui Dingyi, for once, thought together - in the future, they also wanted to buy a spiritual crane!
That's it. It's practical and cool-looking.
Practical, riding a spiritual crane to fight against ground-dwelling demon beasts is just as easy as playing in the sand.
After dealing with the aftermath of the battle in a stylish manner, and then riding away on the spiritual crane, it's all about leaving in style!
Wang Yulou only arrived in the Hewan Village for one day, but he has pulled the local coolness threshold to an all-time high.
But these people probably didn't think about it. At this moment, Wang Yulou was thinking about changing a spirit bird that is more suitable for him.
He Laosan has too many problems. He is too capricious, his movements are not flexible, and besides being handsome, he has too many shortcomings.
During the fight, this vulgar bird initially haggled and later turned slow, almost forcing Wang Yulou to use a concealment spell.
In the eyes of outsiders, "The new arrived master riding a spiritual crane firmly killed the snake demon" is essentially that He Laosan turned too slowly and was almost caught by the snake demon.
He Laosan landed in the courtyard, demanding for the essence blood pill. After Wang Yulou fed it three pills, he said.
"He Laosan, in terms of talent, you're not as good as your older brother, and in terms of reliability and steadfastness, you're not as good as your younger brother. Everyone says you have the potential to reach the peak of Jieyao Realm."
"But based on your temperament, once you break through the peak of Jieyao Realm, won't you need even more magical pills each time you help me in battle?"
He Laosan tilted his neck and swallowed the essence blood pill in his mouth, then he looked at Wang Yulou submissively, dare not say a word more.
It seems that it also knows that it has problems.
Wang Yulou frowned, making up his mind.
He Laosan, like this, has no great cultivation value. Knowing its problems but unwilling to change, its upper limit is only good for delivering messages.
Why are those legendary cultivators and immortals able to get along so well with their spirit beasts?
Wang Yulou thought for a moment and realized the key - it must be cultivated from an early age!
He Laosan was raised by the Iron Grip Goose Family and later handed over to the Wang family to use. Now it has been handed over to Wang Yulou by the clan leader, how could it have any rapport with Wang Yulou?
"Master Wang?"
"Just now, when the demon beast attacked, Qin ChuRan was stopped by the array and couldn't leave. Now that Wang Yulou has returned, the anxiousness in his heart has finally been relieved."
She didn't know what she was worrying about. Perhaps her worry was similar to that of Wang XuWu?
But Wang Yulou was not concerned. He merely nodded slightly and asked.
"Just now, we were discussing about ChuRan. I need you to tell me about the situation of DiWater Cave."
"Talk about the situation of DiWater Cave?"
These words are not complex, but Qin ChuRan truly didn't understand them.
"Big brother, as an internal disciple of the Azure Water Palace, you should know about the situation of your own cultivation hall."
"Yes, I joined the sect after my foundation cultivation, so my understanding of the sect is no greater than yours. Just talk about it." Wang Yulou explained.
First, understand the backgrounds and characteristics of his colleagues, then get a clear picture of the situation in Hewan Fishing Village. Now, Wang Yulou is beginning to explore information about DiWater Cave.
That's only the first day, and Wang Yulou has already started collecting information and looking for opportunities.
Wang Yulou had left the Wang family, but the caution and stability imparted to him by the Wang family were forever etched into his soul.
Half an hour later.
"Should we not disturb Wang Yulou cultivation?"
Standing in front of Wang Yulou's mansion, Xue Wu Shuhao hesitated and didn't know how to bring up his proposal to Cui Dingyi.
He had given Qin ChuRan to Wang Yulou, but in fact, Qin ChuRan had always been a favored one in Cui Dingyi's heart. However, Qin ChuRan had not agreed.
"Mm, Xue Wu Shuhao intended to do so."
When Qin ChuRan reported the two of them to Wang Yulou, although he pulled down one and puffed up the other in a more subtle way, he actually used flattery to praise Xue Wu Shuhao while subtly knocking down Cui Dingyi.
"Different Degrees of Discord. Ancestor Cui is a local of Hewan Fishing Village. For many years, he hasn't been able to break through to the middle stage of foundation cultivation."
It can be said that the two have already formed a partnership to scheme against Wang Yulou.
"After dealing with the demon, holding a Daoist ceremony in a timely manner is a sect rule, which cannot be changed, right?"
Cui Dingyi was also in a difficult position. Respecting the immortal is something that all disciples of DiWater Cave must ensure, even if they don't agree in their hearts, they must act perfectly.
On the other hand, there are rules in DiWater Cave. After killing various demons, it is necessary to hold a Daoist ceremony in gratitude to the Immortals for their protection.
"Alright, then you go call them," Xue Wu Shuhao shrugged his shoulders and said.
"All right, I know about the ceremony. Let's go."
Wang Yulou, who came from the Wang family of Anbei Kingdom, experienced a huge difference in just one day when he arrived in the Hewan Village.
The two fellow disciples who had a higher cultivation level than him were actually standing guard at his doorstep and dared not shout even a single word.
The immense gap made Wang Yulou even more eager for cultivation.
He really wanted to decline the Daoist ceremony of thanking the Immortals, as it was just a meaningless formality.
But he deeply understood the principle that one must respect the rules when they lack strength. Although the Daoist Alliance extracts its marrow and bones, it also restricts foundation cultivation practitioners and high-level cultivators from acting recklessly.
Without the Daoist Alliance, would the mysterious high-level cultivators in Qingxi Lane have stopped so easily?
As he has entered DiWater Cave, Wang Yulou naturally has to follow the rules of DiWater Cave.
"I have seen Wang Yulou~"
Xue Wu Shuhao, Xue Wu Shuhao, you might as well change your name to Zhang the Sycophant, Cui Dingyi thought to himself in annoyance.
"Dingyi has seen Wang Yulou, honored master. Today's snake demon was very fierce. Thanks to your timely intervention and effortless cutting of the snake, our Hewan Village would have suffered a disaster if not."
"All the villagers are grateful for your kindness, and they are waiting for you at the ceremony site. Come on, I'll guide you there." Cui Dingyi said without changing his color.
At the mention of the words "debt of gratitude," Wang Yulou's heart involuntarily tensed.
This is the status of a foundation cultivation master and an internal celestial talent in Hewan Village?
I, Wang Yulou, what virtue and ability do I have to be able to dispense with gratitude?
This is a unique power only enjoyed by characters like Mengxiang Ancestor and Immortal Masters of the DiWater Cave!
Wang Yulou's mind was full of alertness, and he immediately tagged Cui Dingyi, the old master, with a 'must be vigilant' label.
There's no way around it; this fellow's flattery is too smooth and well-articulated. Wang Yulou fears he might be misled or ensnared by him in the future.
"Okay, lead the way. ChuRan, come along too."
Wang Yulou nodded to Cui Dingyi and accepted his invitation, then casually gave an instruction to Qin ChuRan.
Cui Dingyi looked at the beautiful maiden stepping out from Wang Yulou's residence and immediately smiled from ear to ear, saying.
"Honored master, please follow me. The Daoist ceremony of thanking the Immortals is being held on the pier."
Wang Yulou has realized the true meaning of the saying "Short water contains many turtles." He sensed Qin ChuRan's nervousness and Zhou Xue Wu's surprise.
However, he still doesn't care. Right now, he just wants to end today's trouble and go back to cultivate the Jue Water Qi through his meridians.
"This? Immortal Lord Form?"
However, when Wang Yulou noticed the Daoist form of the Immortals at the pier, he was somewhat surprised in his heart.
In the streets and lanes of Hewan Village, there are many depictions of Immortals, but they are all quite small, only showing the upper part of the body.
However, the newly erected three-person-high Daoist statue at the pier only shows the upper body.
In the sky of DiWater Cave, the Immortals have fish tails. Considering the importance that DiWater Cave places on worshiping and honoring Immortals, Wang Yulou's heart was somewhat chilled.
Suddenly, Wang Yulou thought of Wu Jin Yan again.
Why should the position of supervision in the Daoist Alliance be given to a newly founded, small family without roots or inheritance, who is just a greenhorn?
Is it enough just to send more spiritual stones to secure such a good position?
If the position isn't as good as it appears on the surface, then Wu Jin Yan's so-called opportunities and luck might be somewhat explained.
However, when the true person told him to come to DiWater Cave to cultivate Jue Water Qi, it means that there should be no major issues here, right?
Looking at the person-faced snake with a serpentine tail and a human body covered in scales, Wang Yulou thought of many things.
The true person's Fudi-level cave heaven, the talk of the turbid pool, Wu Jin Yan's position, the vanished fish tail, and the person-faced snake demon with a serpent's tail and human body.
And also, a water attribute cultivation sect that should have been more advanced still chooses to develop in the Red Light district.
There are too many questions, and I still can't do anything about them.
Acknowledging suffering as the root of all suffering, and seeing the nature of cruelty itself, cannot help Wang Yulou overcome cruelty.
Under the guidance of the ceremony leader Cui Dingyi, Wang Yulou closed his eyes, allowing the so-called Fudi cave heaven to temporarily disappear from his world.
Forget about it, forget about it. I'm just here to cultivate.
"Immortals, upon your thrones, disciples bow in reverence~"
Wang Yulou bowed again, and this so-called Daoist ceremony of thanking the Immortals was finally over.
However.
"Wang Yulou, a disciple of the Azure Water Palace, rewards 37 points of merits. Cui Dingyi, a disciple of the Azure Pools Palace, rewards . "
Wang Yulou raised his head and searched for the direction of the voice, but still couldn't find it.
It seemed as if people were speaking from all directions, yet it also seemed as if only someone was speaking in front of him.
That voice is far away yet close at hand, it sounds transcendent, genderless, and has a meaning without emotions.
It is like the most skilled waiter at the Hua Cuisine Hall, listing out the merits rewards for all the cultivators in Hewan Village in a manner of reporting dishes, not even leaving out those who have reached the stage of cultivating martial arts.
Even though he had paid off a tenth of the merit and gratitude debts all at once, Wang Yulou didn't feel very happy about it.
"What is this?" Wang Yulou looked at Qin ChuRan next to him.
When it comes to Wang Yulou, Qin ChuRan has learned a bit about him.
This senior comes from a noble background, is characteristically stable, and behind his seemingly absurd behavior there are always special reasons.
For example, he has never practiced in DiWater Cave and has directly joined the inner sect. Maybe that's why he doesn't understand many of the common practices in DiWater Cave.
"The Immortal blesses the righteous, after defeating demons and holding a Daoist ceremony of thanking the Immortals, all who have contributed will be blessed by the Immortals."
Wang Yulou fell silent for a moment, thinking of a phrase - "The big brother is watching you."
"Were you not on the DiWater Sky?" Wang Yulou stood up from his seated position and continued to ask.
"DiWater Sky?"
Seeing Qin ChuRan's confused expression, Wang Yulou pointed towards the sky.
"She was taken aback for a moment and said,"
"You're talking about the Imperial Palace, we all call it the Imperial Palace."
That place is only accessible to disciples and elders of the Azure Water Palace, so ChuRan has never been there.
Wang Yulou shook his head, without saying anything. He has already noticed some hints of the governance model of DiWater Cave.
Controlling and purifying demons to accumulate merits while also refining the disciples.
After the disciples have been sufficiently refined, they are then arranged to enter the Azure Water Palace, thus gaining the qualification to come and go in the DiWater Blessing Territory, and taking on more responsibilities for DiWater Cave.
As a newcomer halfway through the journey, in the DiWater Cave system, I'm destined to be unable to advance to a better position.
Can I solidify my foundation here?
Wang Yulou's confidence is not that strong.
………
Returning to the mansion, Wang Yulou forged a simple array token for Qin ChuRan, which she could use to enter and exit.
"Here, you can use this token to enter and exit every day, but it will become inactive when I'm not here."
Receiving the mirror silver token, Qin ChuRan was quite excited, she might really be able to change her destiny.
"I gave you the token so that you can do things for me. Don't just stand there and grin foolishly."
"I need you to help me with five things. You remember."
Firstly, a spirit fish every day, this is what I need for my cultivation.
Secondly, find a better location on both sides of the river in Hewan Village for me. I want to move this mansion there, as it's a bit too secluded.
Thirdly, find someone to build a high platform for me on the location of the new house. It would be best if it was made of stone, so I can see what's happening in Hewan Village clearly from up high.
Fourthly, the river in Hewan Village…… What is the name of this river?”
With Wang Yulou now being someone who gets things done, not even knowing the name of the core river in his territory can be said to show just how rapidly Wang Yulou has risen to prominence.
Wang Yulou managed to accomplish so many things within one day.
Join, enter DiWater Cave, enter the Azure Water Palace, and become a guardian cultivator in Hewan Village.
Host a feast, using the rare eight-grade crystal light wine at Zhang Xue Wu's banquet to entertain guests.
Accepting the servant, first accepting Qin ChuRan. Behind her, corresponds to the three Guardian cultivators with the highest cultivation level, Zhang Xue Wu - he is waiting (Cui Dingyi's flatterer on the surface is just empty words, you have to look at his actions).
Decapitated, the target was the head of the human-faced snake at the small demon realm level. By riding a spirit crane and controlling flying swords, he successfully won it, and also took on the role of a go-between.
Too fast, full of the distinctive pragmatic spirit of the Wang family. When the time is right, one must seize the opportunity when strength is in place.
It's also because of the haste, so Wang Yulou doesn't even know what the river in Hewan Village is called.
Hearing Wang Yulou's question, Qin ChuRan could only laugh helplessly and answer.
"The Great Red Creek, the river is called the Great Red Creek."
"Red Stream? And 'big red'? I think it looks very clear."
"The upper stream of this river has an eight-grade Zhu Xue Stone mine. It is mined once a year, and around the mining season, the Great Red Creek will turn red."
An eight-grade Zhu Xue Stone mine?
No wonder it's a land left behind by a Golden Core Immortal, indeed it's not ordinary, and there are many magical creatures everywhere.
"Alright, the fourth task is related to the Great Red Creek. I want to build a water gate at the entrance of the Great Red Creek."
Normally, the water gate will be open. If there are demon beasts coming in along the river channel to cause chaos from the lake, we can close the gate to prevent them from escaping.
Fifthly, you can count the types of spiritual roots, cultivation levels, and the spells they specialize in for over twenty cultivators in the Hewan Village.
After compiling the statistics, report to me. I plan to have them undergo some complementary training in demon-slaying.
During today's battle with the human-faced snake, their cooperation was too poor; they were merely watching the excitement and not doing much to contribute!
Just as Wang Yulou has become the person in charge, he intends to bring some changes.
The first few requirements included preparations for cultivation and actions to display dignity for subordinates.
The latter two requirements are purely about the mindset of getting things done.
In Wang Yulou's view, the water gate can block the retreat of demons, and it will be easier to obtain merits.
Cooperative training is similar to drills, after several more times, when there are demon beasts causing chaos in Hewan Village, they can respond more calmly.
"ChuRan has taken note, but just."
Seeing Qin ChuRan being hesitant, Wang Yulou's patience was wearing thin.
"Speak up!"
"The first three are easy, and the last one is no problem either, but ChuRan has some doubts about the water gate."
"Blocking the entrance to the lake with the water gate doesn't necessarily stop strong demons, but it will definitely cause the water to accumulate and flood both sides of the river."
Wang Yulou had a new understanding of the mathematical level of people in this world, and he sighed helplessly.
"You're wrong! Just do as I say and get things done!"
He naturally knows that the water gate might not be able to stop the demons.
But the mindset of getting things done is not like this. First, build the water gate, then gradually find space for improvement. That's the correct approach.
Even if it turns out to be not very useful in the end, the experience of such exploration is still part of Wang Yulou's 'achievements' as a guardian cultivator.
When working within a sect, one needs to have an active mindset for upward management.
Of course, of course, the most important thing is still cultivation.
Wang Yulou joined the DiWater Cave to practice the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element, and now that he has obtained the scriptures, he has already solved his troublesome and unexpected matters. He can finally calm down and focus on his cultivation in his mansion.
The old master initially pointed out that Wang Yulou should cultivate the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element, which had a lot of insight.
Wang Yulou was born in the rabbit month, which is yin in nature. He should cultivate the method of Taiyin.
There are two main categories in the source and flow of water methods, Guan Water and Guai Water. Among them, the latter is Taiyin Water, which is perfectly matched with Wang Yulou.
Moreover, because the methods and essentials of cultivation have changed over time, modern cultivators do not pay much attention to these things.
For instance, for the foundation cultivation realm practitioner who builds a purple palace, it is sufficient to accumulate five main channel foundations to open up a breakthrough.
When practicing cultivators refine the spiritual energy corresponding to their spiritual roots, they do not pay attention to things like Taiyin methods or Sun methods.
The three famous five qi are good examples, with the Five-color Purple Cloud Qi being cultivated as the Purple Cloud Qi, adding a bit of root nature to it based on the different spiritual root properties.
But with a hint from Danri, Wang Yulou knows that he should cultivate the descending meridian of Gui Water, so he naturally would not cultivate any other spiritual energy.
However, after reviewing the scriptures, Wang Yulou's heart began to beat nervously.
The Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element, where the key is the Guai Water.
The Guai Water is pure and weak, being the essence of yin, but the method of the Xue Yu Men's descending meridian of Gui Water involves using this weak water to flow through all the meridians. It's quite an innovative idea.
Because the meaning of the Xue Yu Men's descending meridian method is not to circle through the meridians, but to widen them a bit and do some small-scale engineering.
This is quite bold and reasonable. Using other spiritual energies to go through the meridians indiscriminately could cause cultivators to explode directly.
Using Guai Water, the weakest water, is just right. Weakness is good; it won't cause any major problems.
At this moment, Wang Yulou took out the bottle of Jing Mui Xie Yao Da Ren from his storage bag, and his heart was filled with a complex feeling.
This bottle of pill is obtained through an exchange with his big warehouse. After biting off his tongue, the patriarch fed him one to quickly treat him. Now there are only nine left.
Now, the bottle in his hand contains five pills, which are left to him by the patriarch.
Looking back now, the patriarch had long since anticipated this, and even foresaw the future.
If he cultivates the descending meridian of Gui Water, there will definitely be times when he loses control of the spiritual energy, which may damage his meridians. At such times, the Jing Mui Xie Yao Da Ren would be useful.
However... Wang Yulou picked up the scroll of the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element once again and carefully read it through.
DiWater Cave is still somewhat benevolent, buying the method also includes medicinal pills for healing injuries. The jade scroll records two spiritual elixir formulas for repairing meridians.
That means Wang Yulou spent four hundred merit points, not only purchasing the method of the descending meridian of Gui Water, but also gaining multiple Gui water spiritual arts and two elixir formulas for repairing meridians.
At this moment, Wang Yulou even feels that the gratitude of Di Water Immortal is not as hot-handed as before.
Yes, the revered immortal is good. Perhaps the disciple has executed poorly.
From the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element, one can also see the extraordinary inheritance of DiWater Cave. This system is very strict and the methods are well-matched. Even elixirs are available. Such a method allows disciples to exchange freely within the inner door.
If you join the sect and it's the right choice, the potential is indeed high!
Looking over the incantations again, Wang Yulou took out a censor from his storage bag and placed it in front of the cushion in the quiet room of his mansion.
First, a five-flavor purple chaste root incense to nourish the spirit. Later, he will use the spirit to introspectively observe the process of the Xue Yu Men method of attracting water element. With the Five-flavor Purple Chaste Root Incense, although it is much weaker than enhancing one's spiritual consciousness with spiritual elixirs, at least it is an improvement.
Next, he lit a Thousand Bend Tiger Ear Incense. The "Tiger Ear" here is not referring to the ears of a tiger, but to a medicinal herb that can calm the mind. The effect of this incense is to calm the mind and focus, improving the concentration during meditation.
After leaving Xian Zhou Laozu, Wang Yulou's level of cultivation benefits has dropped sharply.
In the small heaven, he would take elixirs every day to maintain his optimal state during cultivation. Those elixirs were specially formulated by Xian Zhou Laozu based on his spiritual roots and worked exceptionally well.
Now, looking at the two incenses, Wang Yulou sighed softly.
Well, let's not talk about it.
However, the two incenses are not quite auspicious. Wang Yulou thought for a while and took out another Dragon Xue Bai Mao Incense, which has no special functions but smells better.
Looking at the three incenses in the censor, Wang Yulou thought again, why not invite a great deity to bless and protect himself?
Well, why not use it? He can use it for cultivation while also expressing his loyalty to the revered immortal, not wasting either purpose.
Thinking about it, he acted immediately. Wang Yulou was a doer and a pragmatic cultivator.
Extracting a large piece of nine-grade Baiyu wood, he manipulated the flying sword made of cold binnite iron to slash and carve, and soon, the celestial figure of Di Water Immortal was almost complete.
Bringing over a table, he held the image in both hands and respectfully placed it up there.
Finally, Wang Yulou lit three more incenses for auxiliary meditation. Well, not really, but three incenses to show respect to the revered immortal!
All set!
Looking at the small statue, which looked almost identical to the golden statue of the Di Water Heavenly Dome, Wang Yulou nodded in satisfaction. Things like this should be done once and for all, and used long-term.
You say that praying to the revered immortal is effective or not?
It's hard to say.
After all, offering tributes to the deceased is for the living to observe. As a cultivator under the DiWater Cave, Wang Yulou naturally follows the rules of the cave.
The three Zi Fu disciples of the revered immortal, who took over the leftover fortified land after his passing, never forgot the revered immortal's favor.
Wang Yulou spent four hundred merit points, no, three hundred merit points, no, actually not a single merit point, and still managed to exchange for the secret method of DiWater Cave's descending meridian of Gui Water. Shouldn't he show gratitude to the immortal?
With great respect, he bowed and again sat cross-legged on the lotus seat. Wang Yulou's confidence in cultivating the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element increased unnaturally.
Immortal, look, the disciple has already lit three incenses. Isn't that right? Give a bit of face!
Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Wang Yulou recited the incantations silently, and his spiritual awareness began to introspect. The spiritual energy within him lazily emerged from the Qi Sea under the influence of the incantations.
Guai Water, the weakest water, yes, that's right.
Of course, this is just the spiritual energy conversion stage at the beginning of cultivating the Gui Water Qi. Naturally, it needs to be done slowly, so the spiritual energy looks lazily.
No momentary refining, Wang Yulou doesn't have that kind of courage. He's afraid his meridians might be refined to explosion.
Jing Mui Xie Yao Da Ren is very useful, but it's good to save and spend wisely.
Converting spiritual energy doesn't need to be in a hurry. After this conversion, it will be all Gui Water Qi from now on.
After about half an hour, the spiritual energy within his body had circulated once around the meridians according to the Gui Water Qi, and had all been converted into Gui Water spiritual energy.
Wang Yulou looked at the small pool of spiritual energy in his Qi Sea and estimated that it had transformed about 90%, indicating that the spiritual elixirs that Xian Zhou gave him before were indeed extraordinary.
However, this is not strange at all. During the cultivation in the small heaven, Xian Zhou rarely concocted spiritual elixirs directly to enhance their cultivation base for the three of them. Instead, he often refined auxiliary spiritual elixirs.
The final cultivation was still done by themselves, so the spiritual energy produced would naturally be more solid and not flimsy and weak.
Hydroelectric power and water electric power are both electric, but the spiritual energy is vastly different. Achieving a conversion rate of 90% is already extremely high.
With the Gui Water spiritual energy, Wang Yulou can now start practicing the core part of the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element — the tracing of the meridian.
Any spiritual energy can improve cultivation, but different spiritual energies have different effects. According to the characteristics of the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element, it is implied that Wang Yulou needs to cultivate this with Gui Water spiritual energy and trace the meridian.
Of course, the great cultivator is too lazy to explain in detail, so he didn't say much about the details the next day.
Wang Yulou silently activated the incantation, adjusting a strand of spiritual energy, preparing to draw it out from the Qi Sea.
The Xue Yu Men method of tracing the meridian has its own specific incantation, not just controlling spiritual energy in the meridians.
Under the control of the incantation, Wang Yulou's spiritual awareness noticed that the Gui Water Qi began to slowly vibrate, just like rippling water waves.
"If it's to continuously broaden the meridians by means of left and right vibrations, then it shouldn't be too painful, I would imagine."
Wang Yulou thought of pain because the Xue Yu Men method of attracting the water element jade slab in the 'Revered Immortal's Mansion' mentioned that it was not recommended for cultivators to trace their meridians when practicing this method.
Tracing the meridian would hurt.
Finally, under Wang Yulou's careful control, the strand of Gui Water spiritual energy reached the meridians.
"Crap!"
The instant the Gui Water Qi acted on the meridians, Wang Yulou broke his cultivation.
Wang Yulou lay on the ground, drenched in cold sweat, and cursed furiously.
"Who said that cultivating would be very enjoyable? All of it is bullshit!"
In pain, Wang Yulou didn't notice the smiling Di Water Immortal image behind the censor.
At least, there is one thing that's not bullshit.
In the DiWater Cave, the Immortal really is watching you.
