Chapter 426: Chapter 404: Reincarnation

“Hehehe, Wang Zhige, are you trying to stir up trouble?”

A soft laugh echoed from inside the chariot again, and in the next moment, a stunningly handsome young man appeared before Wang Wu. There was no anger or rage on his face, just curiosity.

Too handsome, too dashing, to the point that Wang Wu couldn’t help but take another look at him.

Impressive!

At that moment, Wang Wu had an inexplicable, déjà vu-like feeling. This guy’s charm was too powerful, as if his whole body was an advanced walking hormone. Even behind him, She Shoujiu and Madam Yu couldn’t help but sneak a peek.

“Ahem!”

Wang Wu could only cough twice, signaling for She Shoujiu and Madam Yu to step back.

“Lord Zige, how about my Twenty-Sixth Grade Charming Divine Techniques?”

The newly appointed chief suddenly smiled, damn, that’s over the top!

Wang Wu’s Qi Blood almost fluttered up, this was simply shameless!

But at this moment, the new chief suddenly retracted all his charming aura, instantly becoming like an iceberg.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, his aura like a sword. Just one step forward, and Wang Wu didn’t dare to take a breath!

“So, put away your little tricks. If you want to play dirty with me, I’ll do the same with you. Dare to use rules against me, I have a hundred ways to kill you! Or kill your two women, kill all your subordinates. Do you think the rules of the Hidden Origin Association can protect you, or will they just lightly punish me? Don’t think that by taking Old Man Gray as your master, you’ve got a backing. In front of my master, Frost Monarch, you will always be an ant.”

“Understand, ant?”

“Next, for all proposals in Dragon Head City, you and your women must unconditionally agree. If you behave, I’ll save face for your master, and I won’t bother with you ants. But please, don’t try to be smart again, okay?”

“I’ll say this only once, and this is because my master thinks highly of you. She originally wanted to take you as a disciple, but who knew you couldn’t appreciate it, so there’s no way now.”

“Well, your subordinate obeys!”

Wang Wu dutifully accepted the orders, but he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Because, if things followed their normal course, without Old Man Gray’s intervention,

at this moment, this guy should be his senior brother, having already taken Frost Monarch as his master. However, since his strength was insufficient, he could only serve as the second chief steward, and the new chief of Dragon Head City could not have been this Charming Monarch. It was probably Old Man Gray’s fifth disciple, perhaps that versatile senior sister.

Then, exactly like this, Wang Wu’s actions here also angered Old Man Gray’s fifth disciple, who would belittle, ridicule, and suppress him, treating him like an ant.

What could Wang Wu do?

Only endure humiliation, and then, three hundred years later, in a fit of rage, unable to bear it any longer, directly kill Old Man Gray’s fifth disciple…

This was what should have happened originally.

Now, Old Man Gray beat everyone to it, using Level 27 Divine Calculation to calculate Frost Monarch, snatching Wang Wu as his disciple. Thus, in the original track, this Charming Monarch who would have been his senior brother became a great villain.

Look at this little temper.

Toward his own people, he is like a gentle spring rain, but toward enemies, he is as cold and volatile as the winter wind.

So, three hundred years later, will he lose his temper just once and kill this kid?

For a moment, Wang Wu seemed lost in thought.

“Smack!”

His head was knocked.

“I said, are you a little dumb? Did you remember what I just said?” The Charming Monarch still looked incredibly intimidating, his sharpness impossible to miss.

“Yes! I’ll have them go into seclusion right away. From now on, for all proposals in Dragon Head City, everything shall follow the lead of Lord Chief Steward!”

Wang Wu agreed readily, because something had changed, so there was no sense in resisting.

He wouldn’t be foolish enough to oppose that disciple of Frost Monarch.

In fact, if he had known earlier about Old Man Gray’s status and strength, he likely would have endured and borne the burden.

The Charming Monarch appeared a bit surprised, glanced at Wang Wu with a cold smile, and impatiently dismissed him. This kind of ant was a waste of time for him to speak with.

And just then, when Wang Wu came out, the Charming Monarch had already proposed a full eighteen motions.

A new official sets three fires; he directly set eighteen fires.

Good lord, rich and willful.

Wang Wu agreed to everything without saying a word and also ordered She Shoujiu and Madam Yu to agree, all passed unanimously.

“From now on, for any proposal from this Lord Chief Steward, just agree. We don’t need to arm wrestle with him. You two, go back to your caves and cultivate in seclusion.”

“As for the others, don’t worry about them. Their grades are too low; the Lord Chief Steward won’t make things difficult for them. In fact, this Lord Chief Steward is truly talented and wealthy.”

Wang Wu sighed, for the new chief wanted to upgrade all the Heaven-Supporting Pillars three more times at once, which means upgrading them from the current Celestial Eighth Grade to the Celestial Fifth Grade in one go. This way, the Hidden Origin Bell could almost exert its full power.

Impressive!

What’s left to say about that?

Wang Wu personally went to deliver orders to Justice, Light, Amity, and the Four Auspicious Signs, instructing them to pass it on. Everyone must respect and love the new Lord Chief Steward, and whoever dares to act rashly will bear the consequences.

Then, Wang Wu directly returned to his cave and went into seclusion. His cheap master left him three tasks in total.

The first task is now completed; it is time to accomplish the second one.

The task is: to cultivate in seclusion for a hundred years without leaving a radius of one hundred thousand miles around Dragon Head City.

It seems his cheap master does not want him to clash with the new chief either.

Then there shall be no conflict; just honestly go into seclusion.

Returning to his cave, Wang Wu had the Four Clowns continue to study the structure of the Body-Protecting Immortal Talisman, accumulating experience. Even though his cheap master bestowed upon him a Body-Protecting Immortal Talisman, such precious artifacts, which can withstand five million points of damage, can never be too many.

Isn’t it nice to carry ten or eight pieces on your body, or to give a piece to each trusted subordinate, beloved friend, and family member?

And this requires him to master the ability to refine Body-Protecting Immortal Talismans.

Hmm, at this time, the role of the Four Clowns comes into play, equivalent to helping him cultivate.

As for Wang Wu himself, he can free himself from this tedious, complex deciphering work and focus on his own cultivation.

“For now, my cultivation direction has several major areas that need significant investment.”

“First, is to cultivate two more Ruyi Spirit Pills, any kind of spirit pill is fine, but preferably with Gold Attribute and Earth Attribute so that I can deploy the second Five Elements Spirit Array.”

“This way, innate and acquired can achieve the greatest degree of unity and balance.”

“This is the first thing I need to do next.”

“Second is Bloodline Divine Techniques, in the Five Elements Golden Body Technique, I need to increase investment, which is a relatively important part of the Innate Bloodline System.”

“Third, I need more Yin Fire, there’s no avoiding it. The sooner I fill up on Yin Fire, the sooner my Bloodline Evolution Level can improve, and then I can further enhance Spiritual Talent. Level 19 Spirit Essence is indeed dazzling…”

“Fourth, Lifebound Demon Soldiers and Lifebound Flying Sword, but actually, I should try to get an Immortal Artifact.”

“I’m really curious, in my current status, how could I possibly kill a Taiyi True Immortal in three hundred years! Could there be some important opportunity for me in those three hundred years?”

Wang Wu couldn’t figure it out, or even if he did, it wouldn’t matter; even if there was an opportunity, it’s not his now.

With a long sigh, Wang Wu woke up his Brother Daitou from its slumber.

It was very displeased, ever since the last time, it had been displeased, but there was no way; Wang Wu had already thrown all the Profound Iron into the Heaven-Supporting Pillar.

“Big brother, I want to cultivate a Gold Spirit Root, can you help me?”

Wang Wu sincerely and earnestly prayed.

But Brother Daitou was like a stubborn stone, not listening at all.

Damn!

Wang Wu had no choice but to take out the Hidden Element Jade Talisman, open the Common Vault of the Hidden Origin Association, and purchased another ten pieces of Eighth-Level Refined Profound Iron with his current permissions, consuming 4 million points of Spiritual Qi.

He only had about 40 million points of Spiritual Qi left in total.

Oh, and there’s an additional 20,000 points of Spiritual Qi dividends every day.

Unfortunately, those ninth-level Refined Profound Iron he purchased before are all piled up in the Hidden Origin Bell’s warehouse, but that’s the property of the Hidden Origin Association, unless he becomes a Chief and qualifies to propose a motion, he shouldn’t expect it.

And that Brother Charm won’t give him the chance to propose.

Now with the Profound Iron, Brother Daitou finally became happy and joyful, and after promptly gobbling up three pieces of Refined Profound Iron, it immediately took a big dump in front of Wang Wu.

Well, theoretically, that’s what happened, but in reality, that dump was worth a fortune,

because it was exceptionally precious, liquid Refined Gold Spiritual Qi!

Wang Wu didn’t dare to slack off, immediately cutting open his own chest and wrapping about one hundred milliliters of this liquid Refined Gold Spiritual Qi around the Heart of the Earth.

Then he activated Self-Healing, and with powerful Qi Blood, wrapped this liquid Refined Gold Spiritual Qi tightly.

At the same time, Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi surged, Qi Blood boiled, fully cooperating and coordinating.

After a few seconds, the Heart of the Earth pumped its first thread of mixed spiritual Qi containing the Essence of Gold Qi, smoothly reaching the corresponding position with all sorts of luxurious protection to establish a cycle.

After twenty seconds, an almost perfect Gold Spirit Root roughly and abruptly came into being.

Indeed, for Wang Wu, cultivating a Gold Spirit Root became this simple.

Even simpler than when he dealt with the Wood Spirit Root, thanks to having a Brother Daitou.

Powerful, means the privilege to be capricious.

Next, Wang Wu used his Heart of the Earth to constantly and frequently form small cycles.

That is, Gold Spirit Root→Heart of the Earth, Heart of the Earth→Gold Spirit Root.

And his Innate Qi Blood was enough for isolation, like forming a cozy little nest.

Within such cycles, the initial Refined Gold Spiritual Qi gradually formed, but like a small sprout just emerging from the soil, it was frail in every way.

The Heart of the Earth was like a mother, guiding and training bit by bit.

The Innate Bloodline was like a big brother, understand­ing, comprehensive, accommodating, and gentle in temper.

The Ice and Fire Spirit Pill was considered mature but still somewhat temperamental, yet has seen some winds and waves, going through second brother stuff.

As for the Cyan Wood Spirit Pill, it was not yet mature, quirky in temper, particularly sensitive to anything with Gold Attribute, and would throw a tantrum upon touching it—like a third brother…

Hmm, Gold Spirit Root, was like the fourth child…

Wang Wu was lost in random thoughts mainly out of boredom, because it was too easy, there was no sense of achievement.

One minute to form a Ninth Grade Golden Spirit Pill.

Three minutes, an Eighth Grade Golden Spirit Pill.

Five minutes, a Seventh Grade Golden Spirit Pill.

So easy, he could stand aloof, leisurely and carefree.

All he needed to do was occasionally send Brother Daitou some Refined Profound Iron, and everything would be resolved.

If there are no unexpected events, within three days, he will cultivate a Fifth-Grade Ruyi Golden Spirit Pill.

Ah, life is truly lonely as snow!
