Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 529 - 500: Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance
On the Spirit-Catching Ship, the 24 Cricket Dragons remained silent, but Wang Wu could feel their shocked gaze.
Because even though that scene just now happened very quickly, ending in the blink of an eye, to those who possessed Microscopic Perception Talent like them, they could still decipher it.
Even the incessantly noisy Spiritual Little Dragons went as quiet as chickens.
Tier Nine Earth Immortal, countering Taiyi Fifth Tier?
What kind of concept is this!
This is fundamentally unreasonable; we must have seen it wrong!
However, before the Cricket Dragons could recover from their shock, the companion of that Taiyi Fifth-Stage True Immortal already caught up. After all, ultimately, the distance was just too close, and coupled with the conspicuous Guardian Immortal Talisman on Wang Wu, it was easily traced back to its lair.
In total, there are six Taiyi, one at Tier Six, three at Tier Five, and two at Tier Four, which is quite excellent.
Of course, the opponent didn’t resort to excessive cursing; instead, they directly issued a hostage exchange signal.
"Qingluo, you go explain the terms to them, and don’t make it too difficult for them. In the future, we’ll meet again whether looking up or down. We must learn to be kind and accepting of losses. As the wise of ancient times said, suffering losses is a blessing."
Wang Wu instructed Qingluo earnestly, while the Spiritual Little Dragon stared blankly at him, finally showing a hint of fear. After all, this was someone who could face Shuang Liuyun’s Thunder Whip without changing expression, and now seemed a bit fearful.
Wang Wu thought it must be his deficiency in virtue.
"Oh, right. Please take back the blessing you’ve given me as well. Continually bearing this blessing that does not match my virtue makes my heart anxious and unbearably heavy. This is probably not a long-term solution."
"Damn!"
The Spiritual Little Dragon finally snapped out of it and fled as if escaping.
Meanwhile, Wang Wu quickly returned to the cabin cave mansion, deploying the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, and then took out the Taiyi True Immortal who had been frozen into an ice lump.
He was truly unlucky. Honestly, what qualifications does Wang Wu have to compete with a Taiyi Fifth Tier? It’s purely because this unfortunate guy was charged by three Great Cold-Crying Birds, five medium Cold-Crying Birds, and twelve Little Cold-Crying Birds.
What a terrifying power this is! Even this Taiyi True Immortal, who possessed three Fifth Grade Creation Spirit Pills and two Sixth Grade Creation Spirit Pills, although inferior to Feng Muhai, wasn’t too far behind, had been frozen.
The Spirit Pill was frozen, the Divine Soul was frozen, and all divine techniques were useless, even his consciousness paused.
Of course, it won’t be fatal. If no one intervenes, and the external environment doesn’t change much, he could recover spontaneously after a few hundred years, at most creating some optional, ignorable hidden injuries for the Creation Spirit Pill...
Wang Wu is kind-hearted and won’t take things to the extreme, decisively collecting the Cold-Crying Birds that should be collected, while those that shouldn’t be collected are resolutely left alone, even leaving an additional two Little Cold-Crying Birds in the gentleman’s body.
He wasn’t unwilling to take them nor was he being malicious; he was genuinely considering the other party.
It’s like a bone fracture patient must be carried on a stretcher; if he forcibly removed the Cold-Crying Birds, the harm inflicted would be greater. These were all recorded in the travelogues of Lu Tong and the others, clearly and with detailed notes.
Hmm?
At this moment, Wang Wu suddenly frowned, only to see that within the ice lump, the unlucky guy had somehow imbued a piece of blood-red glow, resembling the beautiful Blood Jade, but actually indicating the impending collapse of his Creation Immortal Body.
What the heck, a dignified Taiyi Fifth Tier, and your Immortal Body is so non-resistant?
Wang Wu quickly recalled, directly finding the answer. This guy had hidden wounds, yes, there were hidden injuries in the Spirit Pills left over at some unknown time, never healed, resulting in an impact from his Spirit Essence Perception, followed by a shock from these large and small Cold-Crying Birds, directly collapsing.
Damn, that’s not good news.
A bit unlucky indeed!
Wang Wu almost felt like cursing.
Because in a usual hostage exchange, the opponent probably wouldn’t kick up a fuss, just exchanging a few Cold-Crying Birds as customary rules apply, what can be done when skill is inferior?
But the situation now is severe.
Wang Wu could almost be sure, that as soon as this Taiyi Fifth Tier is exchanged back, if the other side lacks the corresponding means, he will immediately fall into a severe injury state, even if he doesn’t die, his lifespan will be depleted by tens of thousands of years, and several Creation Spirit Pills will shatter, rendering him completely useless.
At this point, the opponent might not let it rest.
So what should be done?
If Wang Wu were on his own, to hell with it, the person killed, wiped with the Qiankun Bag, directly leaving, you come after me?
But now he’s considered the Lord of the Frost Domain, the monk may escape but the temple won’t!
Letting the situation escalate without intervening, and allowing conflicts to grow, is he really a good leader?
Turning big issues into small ones and resolving small matters altogether is a skill a leader must possess!
"Forget it; let’s just treat this as part of the training journey!"
Wang Wu thought openly, mainly because he had already used Spirit Essence Perception on this person, well-informed of the condition, just like a skilled emergency doctor, encountering a patient desperately needing surgery. Isn’t this a coincidence?
At once, he naturally busied himself.
First, he adjusted the irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi, illuminating the opponent’s most damaged Spirit Pill. Back then, Lu Tong’s Spirit Pill shattered to pieces, but he could piece it back together, let alone these minor injuries. Okay, for him, the Spirit Pill still retained a complete whole, except with some cracks on it. This is too simple; if not for being reluctant to use the Maximal Common Denominator Pill, he could guarantee its full revival within three seconds!
"Eh? This isn’t an ordinary Spirit Pill, this seems to be—the legendary Creation Gu Spirit Pill? People of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance!"
Wang Wu was surprised. He had seen it in the travel notes of Lu Tong and the other three.
The Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance is also a very significant force among the Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects.
Very strong.
For a long time, it has been famous for producing the Shadow Immortal Alliance.
For instance, that Madam Lu, who inherited the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, seemed to be secretly supported by the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance.
In fact, the so-called Twelve Immortal Alliances he knew about at the time were basically the Shadow Immortal Alliance.
It sounds a bit unbelievable, but it’s actually quite simple.
Just like the Five Tigers in the county town, the Eight Stallions in the city, the Ten Heroes of the Taihang Mountains, the Thirty-Six Bladesmen of the Northwest, the Fifty-Six Swordsmen of the Northeast, the Sixty-Four Celestial Spirits of the Southwest, and the Three Hundred Sixty Tiger Generals of the Southeast.
The bigger the place, the commoner it is.
But none of these are the most important; the most important thing is that the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance excels at refining Immortal Gu.
Lu Tong and the others were not clear about the specifics; they only knew that when encountering the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, it’s best to downplay big issues into small ones and avoid offending them. Of course, the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance usually doesn’t provoke other forces either; everyone plays in their respective territories in peace.
However, this time there seems to be some trouble, it’s the Creation Gu Spirit Pill!
Wang Wu couldn’t help but use Spirit Essence Perception again, conducting a thorough inspection of this Creation Gu Spirit Pill.
He then felt that this was a cultivation method completely different from the normal cultivation system.
However, it doesn’t deviate from Yin and Yang Qi, the Three Calamities, the Five Aggregates, the Nine Extremes, and the Twenty-four Solar Terms.
It’s just a bit unconventional.
For example, this friend has five Creation Gu Spirit Pills.
They are the Spring Silkworm Gu, Great Cold Gu, Great Heat Gu, Dragon and Snake Gu, and Liger Gu respectively.
And there are two Foundation Establishment Arrays, one Tier One, and one Tier Three. It seems that the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance has already established a system for the cultivation of Creation Gu Spirit Pills.
Among them, the Spring Silkworm Gu seems to primarily focus on control, capable of forming the Cyan Silk Immortal Gu, specializing in invading the divine soul, and seemingly having an extremely restraining effect on Microscopic Perception talent.
Doesn’t this just restrain him!
At this moment, Wang Wu was almost startled, nearly thinking he was trapped, but after operating the Five Elements Cat Array for a moment and specifically irradiating with Yin and Yang Qi, he breathed a sigh of relief. No power, divine techniques, or bizarre Gu Spirit Pills could escape the irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi.
This is the greatest axiom of the Cultivation Realm!
Then, the Great Cold Gu, as the name suggests, directly captures the Cold-Crying Bird and refines it into the Vast Ocean Immortal Gu.
The Great Heat Gu is refined using the Fire Spirit Guard.
The Dragon and Snake Gu is refined with the Dragon Race.
The Liger Gu is similar.
In short, this plainly is not a genuine cultivator’s path, it’s rather heretical.
It doesn’t care about acquired or innate forces, directly taking your power and refining it into Gu Spirit Pills. Especially now that it has become systematic, formed a climate, and turned into a major force in the Cultivation Realm, there’s nothing that can be done.
You just have to accept it, even if begrudgingly.
While Wang Wu thought about it, he kept repairing, and this repair was hugely beneficial to him.
First-hand information about Gu Spirit Pills.
Feeling delightful, he’ll never have to worry about Gu Spirit Pills in the future.
Honestly, after using Spirit Essence Perception, he found it’s nothing much, oh no, it’s actually vast and profound, mysterious and unfathomable, extremely peculiar. It’s indeed not something a fool like him could grasp.
After a dozen or so minutes, Wang Wu basically stabilized the Taiyi’s injuries, sealed it again with a Great Cold-Crying Bird, confirmed there were no flaws, and estimated that things with the Spiritual Little Dragon should be negotiated as well.
At this moment, Wang Wu brought out the now much smaller block of ice, and ran into Qingluo head-on, her expression intriguing, could the other party have a lion’s appetite?
No one would be so foolish.
"The other party agreed to exchange ten Great Cold-Crying Birds, this is the current market rate; it’s not the highest but not too low either. Sir, is there anything I haven’t considered?"
"No, it’s quite good, deal. As they say, familiarity by fighting, friendship when the trade doesn’t succeed. Go ahead with the exchange! You handle it all, I won’t get involved."
Wang Wu tossed the block of ice aside and turned to leave.
"Sir, what’s wrong with him?"
At this moment, Qingluo asked in a trembling voice, seemingly very afraid, because although the fellow inside the block of ice had his injuries mostly stabilized, there were still hidden wounds. Wang Wu isn’t his father; after obtaining all the secrets, who cares about his hidden wounds? So, it looked quite miserable, with blood rushing skyward.
"It’s fine, he just has some latent injuries from spirit pills, he won’t die. Hand him over to the other party, and he’ll naturally be repaired."
Wang Wu waved his hand grandly; what more could he do, he has already done very well.
