Chapter 824: Indulgence and Domination! (Subscription Request!)
Among the rewards promised by Ink Plum this time, there were two types of fourth-tier high-quality formulas.
If this battle ends smoothly, Liu Yu wouldn't have to worry about formulas until he reaches the divine transformation realm.
The fourth-tier formulas are the most refined part of the alchemical pill refining heritage of the Dan Ding Sect.
Obtaining several fourth-tier formulas from Ink Plum, coupled with his own accumulation, Liu Yu now possesses a complete inheritance of fourth-tier alchemical pill refining.
If he were willing to pass this down to the sect, the Yuan Yang Sect could follow the path of the Dan Ding Sect, gaining the core competitiveness to develop faster than ordinary nascent soul sects.
Of course, he currently had no such thoughts.
A rift had already formed; if the Dan Ding Sect were to be destroyed today, the next target of the Mystic Ice Palace would likely be those assisting them.
It is easy to say that conflict can be turned into peace.
As long as one cultivates in the Tian Nan cultivation world, one will inevitably form connections with various forces, making friends and provoking enemies.
To want to collect high-level resources and rapidly advance one's cultivation while also wanting to remain unscathed is nothing more than wishful thinking!
Wanting both is unrealistic; most things in this world do not allow for both sides to prosper!
After hundreds of years of trials and tribulations, Liu Yu naturally wouldn't harbor such childish thoughts.
Fourth-tier formulas are not something that can be exchanged easily, even with rare resources in ordinary times.
Although he would be opposing the true monarchs of the Mystic Ice Palace, the rewards provided by Ink Plum were indeed substantial. Weighing the pros and cons, it was still quite worthwhile, so he was willing to do his best.
His appetite was indeed a bit larger, but Liu Yu, after all, was someone who does his job once he's paid!
With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Liu Yu had already made a decision. His spiritual consciousness, which possessed some characteristics of "divine thought," quietly spread out in search of suitable targets.
He was very clear that the reason why the helpers invited by the Mystic Ice Palace were willing to go all out was not solely because the rewards were appropriate.
Another part of the reason was that the strength gap between the two factions was quite significant.
The Dan Ding Sect side posed no threat to their lives, which allowed them to act without restraint.
The immortal way values personal interests; essentially, cultivators always put their own benefits first and would never risk anything unexpected.
Although they were all opposing factions, the interests of the helpers did not align with those of the Mystic Ice Palace.
In this situation, if he could severely injure or kill a hostile true monarch with a thunderous strike, it would undoubtedly serve as a deterrent.
Among the ten true monarchs of the Mystic Ice Palace, most were hired helpers.
Once the helpers had concerns and dared not act with full force, the pressure on the Dan Ding Sect's defenses would be greatly alleviated.
So Liu Yu didn't need to face the great cultivator Nangong Tian directly; he only needed to pick a soft target to shift the entire situation.
These thoughts passed by in an instant.
"Boom!!!"
The roar of the Dan Ding Sect's mountain gate echoed continuously, and the "Seven-Star Divine Fire Formation" was on the verge of collapse.
While intercepting Nangong Yue's attack, Liu Yu quickly recalled various materials and silently locked onto a person.
This person wore black brocade, with the dao name "Black Water True Monarch," and was at the nascent soul second layer.
In terms of strength among the same tier, one could only say that he was average.
He was a cultivator of the Mystic Ice Palace but not from the Nangong family, so he likely wouldn't have any particularly impressive life-saving cards.
"That's the one."
