Chapter 312: He Wendao

The flame flashed and vanished, and the sound transmission from Wan Shan also came to an abrupt halt.

"He Wendao."

Wang Yu muttered the name to himself, then gave a cold laugh and paid no more attention to the matter.

Even if he were to face a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator now, he would have a fair chance of winning; why would he fear a challenge from a Qi Refinement disciple?

On the contrary, trying to log into the hall to attempt Foundation Establishment a few more times and accumulating more experience was the most important thing.

Thinking this way, Wang Yu left the pill room, passed through two corridors, and arrived at an independent stone chamber surrounded by over a hundred spirit trees.

The exterior of the stone chamber was identical to the quiet room in the login interface; the difference was that inside, a pale purple meditation cushion was placed in the center, and a bronze candlestick as tall as a person stood in the corner, with half a milky-white incense candle inserted into it.

The purple meditation cushion was woven from the extremely rare "Phantom God Grass," which had the miraculous effect of calming the mind, warding off evil, and reducing the risk of Qi deviation; in the Four Symbols Sect, only the Golden Core Ancestor and true disciples could receive one periodically.

If it were other Foundation Establishment elders, they would need thousands of spirit stones and a large amount of contribution points; the key was that this item only lasted for one year, and production was limited, so sometimes even with spirit stones and contribution points, one could not exchange for it at the General Affairs Hall.

As for that milky-white incense candle, it was also no ordinary object; it was the equally rare "Mind-Settling Incense," which could significantly extend the meditation and cultivation time of a cultivator. In the Four Symbols Sect, it was also a supplementary spirit item that was priceless and in short supply, and only true disciples could be guaranteed a full supply.

Besides this, Wang Yu could receive tens of thousands of spirit stones and pills for free from the General Affairs Hall every year, and could also purchase other cultivation resources worth up to twenty thousand spirit stones at a fifty percent discount; he could even have the opportunity to ask the Golden Core Ancestor questions about cultivation, provided he had enough contribution points.

Such generous treatment was enough to make inner and outer sect disciples gape in astonishment and be filled with jealousy.

But all this was not the greatest value of being a true disciple!

Wang Yu pondered in his heart, then suddenly formed a seal with one hand and struck a spell toward the ground in the center of the stone chamber.

The next moment, in several places within the acre-sized forest, thick white pillars of light shot up into the sky, condensing without dispersing.

At the same time, dense white spirit patterns spread rapidly across the nearby ground, covering every corner of the forest like a giant silk web, condensing into a white formation pattern.

And at the center of the formation was exactly where Wang Yu's stone chamber was located. Under the stimulation of the formation's restrictions, those hundred-plus spirit trees gradually became crystal clear and began to frantically absorb the heaven and earth Qi of the entire cave dwelling.

The entire forest seemed to have turned into an invisible giant funnel, and the lowest point of the funnel was the stone chamber.

In just over a dozen breaths of time, wisps of white spirit mist condensed in the forest and automatically drifted toward the stone chamber.

This was the famous Small Spirit-Gathering Array of the cultivation world!

Originally, the Qi in the upper part of Tianzhu Mountain was much purer than in the middle and lower parts, and with the addition of this Small Spirit-Gathering Array that could gather Qi within a certain range, the Qi at the cultivation site was instantly purified by two or three times more.

Of course, because the Small Spirit-Gathering Array was too precious, even true disciples had to overdraw an astronomical number of contribution points to exchange for it from the sect, and Wang Yu, who had already received this reward, naturally did not need to go through such trouble.

This was another reason why he could cultivate to the Qi Refinement twelfth level Great Perfection in such a short time.

Likewise, if it weren't for such a generous cultivation environment, even if a true disciple's aptitude were heaven-defying, it would be impossible for them to reach Foundation Establishment one after another at such a young age.

At this moment, the milky-white incense candle inside the stone chamber had already been lit, emitting a heart-refreshing fragrance, while pale white spirit mist permeated the void inside the room.

As Wang Yu breathed in and out, the spirit mist was directly inhaled through his mouth and nose, constantly purifying and refining his magic power, while the originally depleted Star Thought Power was also recovering bit by bit with every breath.

One month later.

In front of the huge two-story pavilion built into the mountain wall, a cyan bird with a body length of about a zhang flew through the air from afar, circled once in front of the pavilion, and flew directly into the hall on the first floor of the pavilion.

The cyan bird folded its wings, and two people stepped down from its back.

One was a man in green robes and a high crown, who was actually Yun Cang, whom Wang Yu had fought over a decade ago; the other was a young man in hemp clothes in his twenties, with a sturdy build, sharp eyes, and a head of fluffy long hair, exuding an indescribable wildness from his whole body.

Yun Cang only glanced indifferently at the giant armored warrior statues on both sides, then walked to the side on his own and sat down cross-legged.

The other young man in hemp clothes, after looking at the huge cave dwelling gate in front of him, suddenly spoke like thunder: "He Wendao has long heard that Wang Li Shixiong Yu has extraordinary strength and once suppressed the demonic path's true disciples with late-stage Qi Refinement. I have come specifically to ask for Li Li Shixiong's guidance, and I hope Wang Li Shixiong will not hesitate to enlighten me."

The voice boomed and echoed throughout the sky, even alarming the Foundation Establishment elders and cultivators who were in seclusion in several other nearby cave dwellings.

These people subconsciously released a wisp of divine sense to probe toward this side from afar.

Whether it was the name He Wendao or Wang Yu, neither was small among the true disciples; at the very least, they had been specifically paid attention to by them for a period of time.

Behind the cave dwelling gate standing in the pavilion, there was silence, without the slightest reaction.

After waiting for a moment, Yun Cang remained expressionless, but the young man in hemp clothes raised his eyebrows and spoke again unceremoniously:

"Why, is Wang Li Shixiong afraid to fight?

If Li Li Shixiong is afraid, then give up the true disciple position; I, He, am not willing to be ranked as a true disciple alongside a coward."

This time, the content of the young man in hemp clothes' words was no longer polite, even causing a secret exchange of divine senses nearby.

"He Wendao is really bold enough; speaking so mercilessly, isn't he afraid of truly becoming mortal enemies with Wang Yu?"

"Since Wang Wang Shidi He has come forward, he must have already prepared for a fight to the death. You must know that snatching someone's true disciple position is blocking their Dao path; how can it be child's play? I am actually curious about what kind of benefits the Yun family offered to make him do such a desperate thing."

"Hehe, what benefits? Naturally, it's the benefit of buying his life. As far as I know, a dual cultivation partner that He Wendao recently found seems to be from the Yun family, and the Yun family also spent a large sum of money not long ago to purchase a 'Hundred Meridian Reshaping Pill,' which is also a pill that He Wendao has been seeking for a long time."

"Hundred Meridian Reshaping Pill? This is a rare second-rank pill. Could it be that this Wang Wang Shidi He has secretly cultivated that secret technique? No wonder he could crush other Qi Refinement disciples in the Four Sects Tournament."

"Whether it is or not, it is clear that this price made this Wang Wang Shidi He feel it was enough to take action.

I am actually curious; Wang Yu was known as the number one in Qi Refinement back then. After so many years, his strength should only have improved. Why does this Wang Wang Shidi He feel he can definitely win?"

"What means? It's nothing more than pills, artifacts, or even talismans that can boost strength. The Yun family also produced a Golden Core Ancestor back then; taking out some good things from their foundation to crush Qi Refinement disciples is not an easy task."

"Makes sense. Then I'll wait and see if Wang Yu really dares to accept the challenge."

The few divine senses nearby became quiet again after a hurried exchange. ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
