Chapter 497: Primordial Spirit Experiment (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Votes!!)
The first reason was to value this woman's abilities, wanting her to serve him in the future.
With the characteristics of Cold Moon Heart's cultivation method, if she was willing to have a Primordial Spirit Restriction placed on her, she would be very suitable for managing a team of death warriors in the future.
The second reason might be because he empathized with her.
Liu Yu could now confirm that the Qingyang Skill was mostly a demonic art.
In a certain sense, both of them were "eccentrics" within the sect.
Although the "Qingyang Skill" did not appear to be as cruel as Cold Moon Heart's "Blood Slaughter Demon Technique" in certain aspects, it seemed normal on the surface.
However, it was only normal on the surface.
Once the Azure Yang Devil Fire was summoned, its characteristics would undoubtedly expose the essence of demonic arts, which was why Liu Yu had been reducing its use in front of his fellow disciples.
As for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, once he used this magical treasure, its cruel reputation would likely be indelible.
Unlike Cold Moon Heart, Liu Yu was not isolated; even if he was labeled a demon cultivator, he would not face significant exclusion.
This was simply because he was powerful enough, already at the golden core realm, and had good relations with the Yan Family and Li Clan, which allowed him to create sufficient value.
Since he grew weary of the pursuit, he had learned to strike precisely at the right moment, ever since a headwind struck...
"Thank you, Shishu Qingyang, for your help."
Outside the hall, Cold Moon Heart suddenly stopped and clasped her hands in gratitude.
The gentle breeze brushed past, and her long, bright red hair swayed slightly.
Although it was a thank you, the smile she forced out was very stiff, and her expression remained somewhat gloomy.
"It was just a small act; there's no need to mention it," Liu Yu waved his hand casually.
After glancing around to ensure no one was near, he set up a soundproof barrier and continued, "But continuing like this is ultimately not a solution."
"I can help you for a moment, but not for a lifetime."
"How about this? If you're willing to work for me, I can provide protection."
"I just need to leave a small measure on you."
Seeing this opportunity was good, Liu Yu extended an olive branch.
If he were still at the foundation establishment realm, even as a true disciple, he wouldn't have much say in the sect, and he wouldn't act this way.
But now that he had advanced to the golden core realm, the timing was ripe.
Of course, even if rejected, it was no big deal.
With Liu Yu's current power, as long as he spread a bit of word, there would be plenty of foundation establishment cultivators willing to come to him.
The reason he chose Cold Moon Heart first was simply that he understood her better.
"Your kindness, Shishu, I appreciate, but..."
As soon as she heard that a measure would be placed on her, Cold Moon Heart instinctively felt resistance and wanted to refuse without thinking.
Even if her situation was difficult, she didn't want to lose her freedom.
In the eyes of some cultivators, there was nothing more precious than freedom.
However, upon hearing this, Liu Yu only smiled lightly and interrupted, "There's no need to rush to refuse; you can first listen to my conditions."
"If I recall correctly, Cold Shiz nephew is about one hundred and fifty years old now, right?"
"The best age to break through the golden core bottleneck is before one hundred and eighty. After one hundred and eighty, the physical body starts to weaken, and the chance of forming a core gradually declines."
"In less than thirty years, how confident are you that you can reach the peak foundation establishment realm and prepare the Core Formation Spirit Object?"
Looking at the silent female cultivator before him, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he continued to tempt her with a seductive tone, "However, if you are willing to pledge loyalty to me, I can provide an opportunity."
