Chapter 297: Suspicion

Wang Yu pondered this, placed the fruit in his hand back into the box, and stored it back into his storage bag. With another flick of his sleeve, a box and an emerald-green gourd appeared on the ground.

After he opened the box, it contained a purple spirit mushroom with six leaves, which was precisely the "Six-Pupil Purple Mushroom" he had obtained long ago.

This Foundation Establishment spirit object was a trophy he obtained when he killed a demonic path disciple back then. Consuming it raw has the effect of increasing the chance of Foundation Establishment by half a percent, and if refined into a Purple Mushroom Pill, it has a one-percent Foundation Establishment effect.

As for the other emerald-green gourd, it was naturally the Clear-Mind Gourd left behind by Daoist Chongyun, which contained half a gourd of Clear-Mind Spirit Liquid.

These two items, plus the Fire Spirit Ginseng and the Nine-Curved Bamboo, meant he had four types of Foundation Establishment spirit objects in his hands. The other spirit objects were fine, but this Clear-Mind Spirit Liquid...

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yu took the emerald-green gourd into his hand and examined it carefully.

Ever since this gourd came into his possession, he had never seen the spirit liquid inside with his own eyes because Daoist Chongyun's dying words mentioned that once opened, the spirit liquid would dissolve upon meeting the wind and lose its efficacy.

However, through some classics and information he obtained by asking others, he learned that while the Clear-Mind Spirit Liquid indeed cannot meet the wind, the Clear-Mind Gourd is not impossible to open for inspection, provided one makes some preparations beforehand.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu took out two talismans he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, one white and one silver.

He first tossed the pale silver talisman into the nearby void, and immediately a silver light shield emerged, completely covering the void within a radius of a few feet. He then tossed the pale white talisman and simultaneously held his breath.

With a "chi" sound, the nearby air was crazily poured into the white talisman as if swallowed by a giant whale, forming a temporary vacuum environment within the light shield in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Wang Yu did not hesitate to pull the stopper off the emerald-green gourd and swept his divine sense into the gourd. But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

He suddenly extended a palm, tilted the gourd gently into his hand, and immediately a drop of transparent liquid fell into his palm.

Wang Yu brought his palm to his nose and sniffed it. After that, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the liquid, and a look of being unable to laugh or cry appeared on his face.

This liquid was colorless and odorless. Where was the Clear-Mind Spirit Liquid recorded in the classics? It was clearly just a drop of ordinary clean water.

Wang Yu simply poured out all the liquid inside the gourd, and it turned out that everything that flowed out was clean water.

He swept his divine sense into the gourd a few more times to confirm that it was indeed empty and that nothing else was hidden inside. He then sighed, formed a seal with one hand, and the silver light shield shattered. The outside air rushed in wildly, and the nearby void became normal again.

There was no spirit liquid inside the Clear-Mind Gourd, but rather clean water. This matter was quite interesting!

He could be certain that ever since this gourd came into his possession, it had never left his side even once.

The image of Daoist Chongyun's voice and appearance, and the scene of him giving his dying words before his death, flashed through Wang Yu's mind. He was shrouded in a cloud of suspicion.

He suddenly had an urge to immediately return to Huang Shi City, open Daoist Chongyun's grave, and see if the corpse was still inside.

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head and shoved the empty gourd into his storage bag, then swept his gaze toward the box before him.

He had no time to worry about Daoist Chongyun's matter for the time being and could only bury it deep in his heart.

Fortunately, even without the Clear-Mind Spirit Liquid, he still had three types of Foundation Establishment spirit objects, which would not affect his future Foundation Establishment.

Without a doubt, he would likely have to find Fan Tian, this second-rank alchemist, for the Purple Mushroom Pill, unless his alchemy progressed extremely fast before Foundation Establishment, allowing him to refine it himself with more certainty. But such a possibility was naturally extremely slim.

The most important thing right now was to pass the true disciple assessment and obtain this crucial status.

Although he did not know what the sect would assess, it would never be wrong to try his best to improve his strength beforehand.

Pondering this, Wang Yu put away the box, grabbed his storage bag at his waist, and three Green Light Armor parts flew out one by one, floating in the low air before him under the control of his Point-Gold Art ability.

He then beckoned with one hand.

The three artifact parts flew toward his body simultaneously. After three flashes of green light, he had already put on the three Green Light Armor parts.

His head, torso, and one right arm were all wrapped in pale green armor.

In particular, a ferocious ghost-face mask appeared on his head and face, while three sharp spikes protruded from the top of the helmet, and a pale golden curved horn protruded from each side of his shoulders, making Wang Yu look even more domineering and exceptionally majestic.

Wang Yu looked down at the ferocious armor on his body and then took a look at the green arm armor on his right arm.

He saw the entire arm wrapped in dense green scales, and there was a pale golden spirit pattern on the back of his hand.

Wang Yu curiously injected some magic power into the spirit pattern on the back of his hand.

The next moment, there were a few "chi chi" sounds.

Five pale golden spirit patterns emerged on the spirit pattern diagram, and in the blink of an eye, five pale golden sharp blades condensed on the back of his hand, as if a golden claw were embedded in his hand.

Wang Yu's eyes lit up. With just a slight shake of his arm, a blur suddenly vanished.

The next moment, sharp screeching sounds erupted in the nearby void, and dense golden claw shadows emerged, as if they were about to cut the nearby void into pieces.

Wang Yu shook his arm again, and the screeching sounds stopped abruptly, and the golden claw shadows dissipated.

"Not bad."

Wang Yu was greatly satisfied with this newly obtained arm armor.

Although the Explosive Fist of his original breathing technique was not low in power, it could not kill an enemy in a few punches when encountering some opponents with astonishing defense. Now that he had the sharp blades on this arm armor, he had one more means when facing enemies.

After testing the power of the arm armor, Wang Yu injected magic power into the artifact parts one by one. The three Green Light Armor parts bloomed with clusters of green light again amidst "humming" resonance sounds, shrouding him within.

After five, seven, and twelve golden spirit pattern phantoms appeared and circulated on the Green Light Armor parts, a layer of emerald-green, substantial-like light shield condensed on the surface of the armor.

This was the defensive means of the Green Light Armor set!

Wang Yu stared at the emerald-green light shield on the armor, muttering in his heart. He then took a deep breath, and his upper body suddenly expanded by a large margin, and that half-body green armor actually grew larger along with his body.

Seeing this, Wang Yu could not help but be overjoyed.

With this half-body armor, it seemed he would no longer need to change into a new set of clothes every time he activated the breathing technique to grow larger and burst his clothes.

The next moment, he raised his right arm, and the entire arm wrapped in green scales grew a circle thicker. He then clenched his five fingers into a fist and hammered it hard against his own chest.

With a muffled "peng" sound.

The green light shield on the surface of the armor did not move at all, and not even a trace of ripples appeared.

Wang Yu could not help but be startled in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 298 =====
