Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation Chapter 88
[Idle Slot 4: Twelve Flame Spirit Seal]
“Twelve Flame Spirit Seal (0/100): 72 session a day, can be mastered in 4 months.”
This was just a rather ordinary secret technique, without any special effect. However, its flame-controlling aspects, especially the spirit seals, had complementary connections with alchemy hand seals.
Once the idle cultivation completed, it would be fully under Wang Yu’s control. At that time, he could make modifications to suit the actual situation.
After all, the Cold Flame itself was derived from alchemy techniques. With two kinds of flame-controlling seals, perhaps even greater mysteries could emerge.
As for the Flame-Spitting Technique, the idle cultivation required even less time. It could be completed in only three months.
The [Flood Dragon Force], however, was a cultivation method. Even if the Idle Slot completed it, it did not mean one’s cultivation would also be complete. Its nature was similar to the [Cold Blood Technique].
Body Refining was also divided into nine layers. In the method, this was described as the “Nine Dragons Vitalizing Tendons.” Each time a “Dragon Tendon” was successfully cultivated, it meant a breakthrough, corresponding to the nine layers of Qi Refining.
When all nine Dragon Tendons were formed, a single arm could exert the strength of tens of thousands of jin. To lift nine cauldrons, pull nine horses, or tear apart tigers and oxen with bare hands would all be easy. Vitality overflowing, essence and spirit abundant.
But Wang Yu did not mind. The Idle Slot could resolve everything.
Of course, it was still best for him to start collecting the blood essence of dragon-type demonic beasts himself. Both approaches had to be pursued.
For now, Foundation Establishment was still far off, so there was no need to put Body Refining methods into the Idle Slot yet.
First the Spirit Seal, then the Flame-Spitting Technique, and finally the Flood Dragon Force.
Three hours later, night fell.
Zuo Qiuming finally returned to the Law Enforcement Hall. Seeing Wang Yu immersed in studying spell arts, he could not help but sigh.
“If not for Elder Yu’s reminder, I would have thought you had already gone back to rest.”
Wang Yu shook his head. “Without definite news, I find it hard to sleep.”
“Catch.”
Zuo Qiu.ing tossed over a pitch-black jade slip and said.
“Inside is the translated version of the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse. The original was written in ancient demonic script and kept by True Lord Nine Evils. You can rest assured about the contents. It has been interpreted by many experts of the sect, without any errors.”
Wang Yu felt something was off in his heart, but he did not show it. He hurriedly gave thanks. “Such great kindness needs no words. If I have a future, it will all be thanks to your act today, sir.”
“You are too polite. It is your rightful reward. Return now, it is already late.”
“This disciple takes his leave.”
After bowing respectfully, Wang Yu left briskly. Careful scheming could not compare to chance opportunities. He had never thought it would be this easy to obtain.
Once he returned quickly to his residence in the Evil God Market, Wang Yu did not hesitate. He immediately removed the Corpse Demon Secret Technique and replaced it with the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse. The reason was simple. It was far more important.
[Idle Slot 3: Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse (Incomplete Method)]
“Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse (0/100): 96 session a day, can be mastered in 10 years.”
Wang Yu’s brows furrowed tightly.
An incomplete method.
No wonder… He knew that Zuo Qiuming did not do it on purpose. If he were True Lord Nine Evils, he would not hand over the original either. Besides, ancient demonic script was obscure and mysterious in itself, imbued with strange power.
Errors in translation were only natural.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Yu’s tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he could not help but let out a laugh.
“What was I thinking…”
Even if it was incomplete, the Idle Slot could complete it after reaching perfection. Obtaining this desired secret method was already a stroke of fortune. There was no need to pursue perfection.
It was merely an unexpected joy. To obtain it was my fortune, to lose it was my fate.
A few flaws were not fatal. There was no need to quibble and insist on perfection. Sometimes taking a step back was the only way to see the true blue sky.
“I was overthinking.”
Ten years was neither too long nor too short. But it was the longest of all the spells and secret methods he had put into idle cultivation. Who knew how long the completion process would take afterward.
Wang Yu estimated that by then he would be close to Foundation Establishment. It would connect perfectly.
As for the Corpse Demon Secret Technique… the time needed to complete this secret art is twenty years. It has already been placed for about five years and five months, leaving more than fourteen years to go.
No rush. It can be placed again once an Idle Slot is freed.
The cultivation of the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse was stranger than any feedback from past cultivation, because what was obtained through placement was a peculiar power known as Heavenly Demon Evil Thought.
According to the description of the secret art, this should be a type of power that the Heavenly Demons, beings from beyond the realm, feed upon. It was as important to them as spiritual qi was to cultivators.
Every once in a while, aside from the insights and comprehension in his mind, Wang Yu could also sense waves of black ripples spreading from the Niwan at the center of his brow throughout his entire body.
This caused his physical body to tremble like water, as if some fine transformation was being carried out within the very particles of his body. This was the foundation of forming the Demonic Embryo.
“Half-transformation type…”
“Come to think of it, why are all the secret arts I cultivate like this, the more I practice the further I drift away from normal.”
He let out a light sigh, and the atmosphere of cultivation in the room gradually calmed.
……
……
As time passed.
Wang Yu spent four months to complete the placement of the Twelve Flame Spirit Seal, then another three months for the Flame-Splitting Technique to reach completion as well.
He did not encounter any trouble in the process. True Disciple Su also never summoned him. Wang Yu speculated that the other had perhaps abandoned the delaying plan he proposed and had other intentions.
In this way, he completely lost any channel to understand the deeper struggles within Cold blood Peak. This was not good, since Wei Chong was his enemy.
But aside from cursing Disciple Su as a pig teammate, he had no good solution. He could only focus on cultivation and continue strengthening his own power.
Thus, the empty slot number four was replaced with the Body-refining method Flood Dragon Force.
[Idle Slot 4: Flood Dragon Force]
[Flood Dragon Force (0/100): 24 practice per day, master in 1 year.]
Its grade was the same as the Cold Blood Technique, and the placement completion time was identical. The only difference was that the Cold Blood Technique had required 48 session per day, while Flood Dragon Force only required 24.
The number of trainings was halved, yet the time needed was the same. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
His comprehension had improved.
Strictly speaking, it was acquired comprehension, meaning that cultivators of high level who had gone through much, learned much, and thought deeply would naturally have their comprehension enhanced.
This kind of improvement that came from experience, learning, and understanding was acquired comprehension. It only lacked a trace of innate spiritual insight.
Of course, it was also possible that his guess was wrong.
This would be revealed with time.
Over these seven months, he had not obtained the results he wished for. Matters of the Alchemist Association gradually returned to calm, and Wang Yu formed a new plan. He wanted to leave the sect again.
This time was different from his trip to Blackbone Mountain.
That time he was fleeing disaster. By a twist of fate many events unfolded, even resulting in the death of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Yet the outcome was ultimately good.
This time it was because his pig teammate did not trust him, or rather had too strong a will of his own, too much confidence in his own wisdom.
From his interactions with True Disciple Su, Wang Yu could actually judge that he was a radical person.
The first time, because of his rash actions, he lost an arm, defeated by Fatty Duan’s retreat, defeated by the lack of higher-level information. But he truly entered True Disciple Su’s sight from then on.
