Chapter 433: Chapter 411: The True Brother Daitou

The Azure Sea Cold Qi has been here for a year now.

What the situation is outside Dragon Head City is unknown, but inside Dragon Head City, it is as warm as spring. Mortals live their lives as usual in the city, while the stewards of the Hidden Origin Association have mostly gone into seclusion to cultivate. What else can they do? There are no new tasks being issued, and spending all day chatting would be a huge waste of time.

Actually, to sum it up, that Steward Baiyu is indeed very capable.

Everything is arranged methodically.

As for outside the city—

“Outside the city is still fine. Over the past year, the level of Azure Sea Cold Qi hasn’t exceeded Level 4, usually hovering around Level 3 because it’s still early winter. It’s said that when deep winter arrives, it’ll be most severe, with the Azure Sea Cold Qi occasionally reaching Level 7 or 8. Therefore, whenever there’s a Hidden Element Task outside the city during this time, I always take some people out to earn some resources to get through this. I always feel that Steward Bai isn’t easy to deal with; he seems gentle now, but once he reveals his blade, it’s definitely deadly.”

In She Shoujiu’s cave, Wang Wu listened quietly to its report.

Previously, Wang Wu had deployed a Five Elements Spirit Array for it, and now it had smoothly broken through the second critical point of the Earth Immortal.

The change was immense.

It could be said to be earth-shattering.

Its Bloodline Evolution Level grew to 58%, and its longevity increased by an extra two thousand years.

Then its Life Value and Physical Strength limit directly skyrocketed to 3,000,000 points!

3,000,000 points!

Moreover, its Basic Agility, Basic Power, and Basic Defense all soared to 3,000 points across the board.

The Unbreakable Golden Body even reached Level 15.

Only then did it seem to have a bit of the immortals’ terror.

So if Wang Wu weren’t restrained by the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment, he should have also already broken through this second critical point.

“You did well. Next, you’ll have to judge the situation for yourself. Contact others more often if there’s nothing urgent. I may need to go into seclusion for a while and won’t be able to look after you.”

“But no matter what, do not be impulsive. If you encounter a dangerous Hidden Element Task, it’s better not to execute it at all. Preserving strength is the priority.”

Wang Wu repeatedly warned. He too recently realized there was no need to worry about Elder Hui’s Level 27 Divine Calculation. Even if it predicted something about him, so what?

Level 27 Divine Calculation isn’t invincible. Which of Frost Monarch and Black Emperor on the opposite side looks easy to deal with?

As long as he doesn’t make significant, principled mistakes, Elder Hui won’t punish him or clean house.

Moreover, Elder Hui has already made it clear, first closing off for a hundred years, then for eight hundred years. How much more implicit could it get?

Right, play the long game.

Lay a good foundation, cultivate to Tier Nine Earth Immortal, maybe then Elder Hui will help him resolve the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment.

“I understand, you be careful too!”

She Shoujiu nodded, “I’m planning to cultivate a few with growth potential, using your method, deploying the Five Elements Spirit Array inside. Kong Zhengyi and the other four, plus Xiong Shiliu and Yuan Bupu, making six in total, are all pretty decent, but unfortunately, Yue Mountain, he’s a rare Innate and Acquired Genius.”

She Shoujiu sighed but didn’t mention Five Poison. It’s smart, knowing Five Poison’s prescience talent has caused major trouble. In fact, it has the means this time to upgrade its Danger Perception to Level 25, but it dares not upgrade, fearing bad luck. Its Cyan Dragon Ancient Blood is actually more valuable than Wang Wu’s Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Ancient Blood.

At present, the best strategy, also the cleverest, is to cling tightly to Wang Wu, and then have Wang Wu cling tightly to his sect’s stronghold, relying on a faction’s power to low-key and cautiously develop, amassing strength, rather than starting from scratch, sweeping across with dominance, making a name for oneself. That’s youthful naivety.

Wang Wu said nothing. After exchanging a glance with She Shoujiu, everything was understood without words.

The next moment, he silently and quietly left the Hidden Origin Bell, appearing outside Dragon Head City.

Although in She Shoujiu’s description, the past year the Azure Sea Cold Qi seemed stable, in reality, it’s relative; Level 3 Azure Sea Cold Qi is already terrifying, the world a whiteness, countless white cold air enveloping, one can’t even see a silhouette across.

Also, there’s no wind, yes, no wind, the white cold air just quietly floats there, very eerie, making it feel like it’s a strange watercolor painting.

This vast background, is all thick, strange white watercolor.

Looking at it for a while, one might even think they are truly in a painting.

Wang Wu silently watched for a bit but didn’t spot any Cold-calling Insects, Cold-Crying Birds, or Cold Roar Beasts and the like. There hadn’t been any over the past year, probably only appearing during deep winter.

Moments later, Wang Wu silently leaped down from the city wall. The walls of Dragon Head City were now shrouded in an invisible protective array, able to repel the Cangming Cold Qi but not restricting the movement of people. As long as one possessed the Hidden Element Jade Talisman, one could freely enter and exit.

However, it’s best not to use the Hidden Origin Bell for teleportation, as it leaves behind background records.

Wang Wu temporarily didn’t want Baiyu to know he could still move freely.

Especially after two extraordinary ambushes, it’s uncertain if an ordinary person could even keep their life intact.

Upon leaving the city, the white misty cold Qi rippled like water, with an inexplicable chill permeating but only lingering on the surface of the skin, without any deeper sensation.

Even the Ice Spirit Pill, that turncoat, showed no reaction.

Undoubtedly, this was the normal situation. How could the mere Level 3 Cangming Cold Qi make someone like Wang Wu feel a sense of crisis?

Last time was purely due to Baiyu’s ambush, with the Heart of Ice combined with Cangming Cold Qi having such explosive effects.

After walking some distance, Wang Wu turned back to sense that the Cangming Cold Qi couldn’t cut off perception, so apart from obstructing vision, it wouldn’t cause one to get lost.

Additionally, he could constantly sense the presence of the Hidden Origin Bell, and although it currently required a three-second application to use, it could still save one’s life at critical moments.

Thus, Wang Wu walked about a hundred miles away before stopping, slowly circulating the Ice Spirit Qi to stimulate the power of the treacherous Ice Spirit Pill.

Unquestionably, this was quite a provocative and reckless act.

In just one second, Wang Wu was covered in frost, not only activating a passive concealment effect but also making the Ice Spirit Pill turn into a turncoat again, rebelliously spirited!

At this moment, the surrounding Cangming Cold Qi seemed ignited, as if finding their leader, frantically pouring into the Ice Spirit Pill.

On average, about a thousand points of Cangming Cold Qi were injected per second, making the Ice Spirit Pill suddenly mighty and formidable, causing a storm within the Acquired Five Elements Spirit Array.

Of course, Wang Wu didn’t dare to overdo it, and when he felt it was enough, he forcibly cut off the turncoat’s retreat, suppressing the Ice Spirit Pill’s power.

Consequently, the outer Cangming Cold Qi promptly returned to its tranquil state, appearing harmless.

Yet, from those few seconds earlier, one could see that when encountering similar power, it truly goes berserk.

As for now, another prelude of the Spirit Pill world war commenced.

Arrogantly domineering, the turncoat Ice Spirit Pill once again single-handedly challenged the other four Spirit Pills, especially going fiercely against the vexing Fire Spirit Pill.

From the start, the battle was intense, with the mutated Ice Spiritual Qi fearlessly brave, taking on six opponents and crushing the Red Flame Spiritual Qi immediately.

But the issue was, the Wood Spirit Pill, Golden Spirit Pill, and Earth Spirit Pill, now all Fifth Grade, already despised each other, with the turncoat now provoking them; there was nothing to say except fight!

Each was valiant, no longer as frail as during the first world war, needing external aid.

Wang Wu only sensed the situation and smiled slightly, content. This time, he didn’t even need to aid from the Innate System.

Directly, the four Spirit Pills ganged up on the Ice Spirit Pill.

Ah, what a grand Brother Daitou!

In no more than half an hour, the turncoat was beaten into submission, surrendered, and then the Five Elements Spirit Array swiftly intervened, gently operating, adjusting the power of the five Spirit Pills like a gentle teacher.

Subsequently, the five Spirit Pills quickly recovered, entering a serene state.

“Quite good, within ten seconds, injecting about ten thousand points of Cangming Cold Qi, supplemented with a million points of Ice Spiritual Qi, can incite a Spirit Pill war. After the war ends, the Fire Spirit Pill benefits the most, the Ice Spirit Pill itself benefits similarly, with the Wood Spirit Pill third, the Earth Spirit Pill fourth, and the Golden Spirit Pill last.”

Wang Wu didn’t need to return to the cave residence within the Hidden Origin Bell, remaining outside the city.

A day later, the harvest from this Spirit Pill war was fully absorbed and transformed by the five Spirit Pills.

According to Level 18 Spirit Essence monitoring, the quality of the Red Flame Spiritual Qi was now 3.5 times improved; the first improvement was based on the Pale Fire, the second from the last world war, and finally this time.

The enhancement was optimal, now achieving a 5:1 loss ratio against the mutated Cangming Cold Qi.

Moreover, the Fire Spirit Pill was almost advancing to Third Grade, nearly becoming a local lord.

Of course, the Ice Spirit Pill wasn’t far behind, taking up the role of a grand Brother Daitou once more.

Wang Wu employed the same trick, circulating the Ice Spiritual Qi, and instantly, the surrounding Cangming Spiritual Qi was stirred, directly causing the Ice Spirit Pill to mutate into a turncoat again.

Everything seemed to proceed as planned, but suddenly Wang Wu heard a peculiar cry, and before he could react, a furry insect blended with Cangming Cold Qi burrowed straight into his Ice Spirit Pill, no, directly into the current headquarters of the turncoats!

Damn!

It’s the Cold-calling Insect!
