Chapter 54: Level 65, Black Tiger Sect of the Lower Four Sects Seeks Refuge? Gu Rong: Two Brothers at Each Other's Throats
"Medicinal Pills?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes.
"Correct, Medicinal Pills."
Yu Jingcheng nodded and continued to explain:
"Within these Medicinal Pills lies a trace of the qiluo tulip's Origin aura."
"While it isn't enough to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve completely, it is enough to trigger a resonance and agitation within the Martial Soul!"
"As long as the direct Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect consume this pill, they will clearly feel..."
"...that the indestructible seven-layer Bottleneck has begun to loosen!"
"They will feel their Martial Soul cheering, longing, and showing signs of a benign mutation toward the 'Nine Treasures' direction!"
Yu Jingcheng's voice was full of allure, as if he could already see the scene:
"Imagine, for a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Master trapped at Rank 79 for a lifetime, what does this 'feeling of evolution' mean?"
"It is a temptation more lethal than drugs!"
"It is the only light in their lifelong nightmare!"
"But..."
Yu Jingcheng changed his tone and sneered:
"Because the medicinal power is insufficient, this mutation is only temporary or incomplete."
"Once the effects wear off, that feeling of an imminent Breakthrough will vanish, and they will fall back into the abyss of despair."
"In order to seize that chance for evolution again, to completely break the shackles, what will they do?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt his scalp go numb, and cold sweat instantly drenched his back.
He widened his eyes, looking at the young Sect Master before him, a deep chill rising in his heart.
This move was too venomous!
It was ten thousand times more poisonous than his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison!
"They... will go mad."
On the side, Gu Rong took a deep breath and took over the conversation, his voice carrying a hint of trembling excitement:
"Those who have tasted hope can absolutely never endure despair again."
"To obtain more Medicinal Pills, to maintain those signs of evolution, Ning Meilan will beg us at any cost!"
"Exactly!"
Yu Jingcheng snapped his fingers, his eyes flashing with a greedy yet rational light:
"What we need to do is control the production of these Medicinal Pills."
"Let them see hope, yet always remain just one step away from reaching it."
"In this way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth, which rivals entire nations, will continuously flow into our Yin Yang Sect."
"Their Soul Bones, their resources, their connections... all will become the nourishment for our growth!"
"We will be like a maggot on the bone, clinging tightly to the behemoth that is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."
"...until we have completely squeezed them dry of their value, until they become mere marionettes in our hands!"
Yu Jingcheng stood up, placed his hands behind his back, and gazed deeply out the window:
"Elder Dugu, I leave the matter of Alchemy to you."
"Remember, the medicinal effect must be potent, but it must not actually let them evolve."
"It needs to be that kind of elusive, addictive effect. Do you understand?"
Dugu Bo was now completely won over by Yu Jingcheng's methods.
He respectfully held the jade box in his hands, as if holding the very lifeblood of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Sect Master's wisdom is profound!"
"I... understand!"
Excitement gleamed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
As an expert in poison, controlling dosages and creating illusions was simply his specialty.
"I shall go into seclusion to research this immediately!"
"I will surely refine a 'Divine Pill' that will make those people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect unable to live, yet unable to die!"
Seeing Dugu Bo's excitement, Yu Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
The world's wealthiest Sect?
From today onward, they were nothing more than Yu Jingcheng's personal ATM.
A few days later, within a secret chamber at the Yin Yang Sect's headquarters.
Golden radiance surged like a tide within the narrow space,
Faintly, the clear and high-pitched roar of a Dragon seemed to echo in the Void Realm.
Yu Jingcheng sat cross-legged, bathed in a sacred aura of light.
With every breath he took, the surrounding air seemed to become thick and scorching.
"Hu—"
After a long while, Yu Jingcheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, which shot out like a sharp sword, leaving a shallow white mark on the ground.
"My Soul Power has improved again; I'm at Rank 65."
Yu Jingcheng opened his eyes, a golden light flashing through them for an instant.
Just then, a faint knock came from outside the secret chamber, followed by Gu Rong's respectful voice:
"Sect Master, I have a matter to report."
Yu Jingcheng withdrew his aura and waved his hand to remove the Restriction, and the door to the secret chamber slowly opened.
"Enter."
Gu Rong walked in quickly, his expression somewhat strange, as if he had encountered something unexpected.
"Sect Master, someone has come to our door."
Gu Rong got straight to the point, his tone carrying a hint of amusement:
"They say they wish to lead their followers to join our Yin Yang Sect and seek protection."
"Oh?"
Yu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, feeling quite surprised.
The Yin Yang Sect was newly established. Although he, Dugu Bo, and Gu Rong were overseeing it,
In the eyes of the outside world, aside from being somewhat high-profile at the Sect opening ceremony,
The rest of the time, it had appeared quite mysterious and low-key.
Those who took the initiative to seek refuge at this time were either at the end of their rope or had other motives.
"Which group is it?"
"Rogue Soul Masters, or a destitute Family?"
Yu Jingcheng asked nonchalantly, picking up a teacup and taking a sip.
"Neither."
Gu Rong shook his head, a sharp light flashing in his eyes:
"It is the Black Tiger Sect."
"The Black Tiger Sect?"
Yu Jingcheng's hand holding the teacup paused slightly as information about this Sect quickly surfaced in his mind.
The Black Tiger Sect, while not comparable to the Upper Three Sects, was still a notable name in the backup tier of the Lower Four Sects.
Their Legacy Martial Soul, the 'Black Tiger,' was a top-tier Martial Soul of the attack system, known for its overbearing attack power.
The Sect's Disciples were also known for their ruthlessness.
"Although the Black Tiger Sect isn't a top-tier power, it still holds a place in the Soul Master World."
"Why would they suddenly want to join our obscure new Sect?"
Yu Jingcheng set down his teacup and looked sharply at Gu Rong:
"Uncle Gu, there must be some catch here, right?"
"Sect Master is wise."
Gu Rong chuckled and explained:
"To be precise, it's not the entire Black Tiger Sect that has come, but a branch of it."
"A branch?"
Yu Jingcheng became interested.
"Tell me more."
Gu Rong cleared his throat and began to recount the details:
"This matter starts with the previous Sect Master of the Black Tiger Sect."
"That old fellow suffered a Qi Deviation while practicing a while ago, kicked the bucket, and croaked."
"But he died too suddenly and didn't have time to leave a will designating a successor."
"This led to his two sons completely falling out over the position of Sect Master."
At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Gu Rong's face:
"These two sons—the eldest is named Hu Yan, and the second is named Hu Lie."
"Their talent and strength are neck and neck; neither is willing to submit to the other."
