The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 387 Second-Rank Steward
At first, Wang Wu thought that the internal gaps were due to poor casting or deliberate damage, but after observing for a while, he confirmed that it was not deliberate damage, but corrosion caused by the five elements of the human world.

That's amazing.

However, it seems to make sense.

The reason why the Hidden Origin Bell can absorb the five elements of the human world is because of these 108 Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars.

Wang Wu had no intention of thinking too deeply about it; it was pointless anyway. This was something an immortal had to do, and what could he possibly come up with?

But how do you repair it?

This Xuan Tie Sky Pillar is of very high quality, equivalent to a Heavenly Grade 8 Natal Flying Sword. Moreover, the cracks are all inside, so it cannot be cut open and can only be repaired with minimally invasive techniques.

Wang Wu first located the internal crack, then shrunk himself to one millimeter, and used his natal demon weapon to make a one-millimeter hole in the Xuan Iron Sky Pillar, allowing him to crawl in, find the crack, take out his refined Xuan Iron, melt and quench it with Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy, and then repair it onto the Xuan Iron Sky Pillar.

Then repair it little by little until it's completely removed from the outside.

The repair methods were very primitive and crude.

The effect is definitely not as good as the original genuine product, but I hope it will work.

At this point, Wang Wu had no other choice.

In short, after a flurry of activity, he had patched up all the internal cracks. Just as he was about to check whether the Ninefold Tribulation Fire Array on it was complete, he heard a soft hum. A faint, almost imperceptible flash of spiritual light appeared on the Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillar, and at the same time, a Ninefold Tribulation Fire Array naturally appeared, which then transformed into fierce flames and radiant light, directly reaching the spiritual net above.

done?

Is this it?

The Ninefold Tribulation Fire Formation on it was actually undamaged!
"It's such a simple thing, but these guys just won't do any maintenance. They're definitely trying to cause trouble!"

Wang Wu grumbled, "I didn't think it was that hard." But then he realized, "Okay, it is a bit difficult, because level 18 spiritual essence is something that most people really can't have."

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he saw wisps of rosy light descend from the pillar of heaven, wrapping around him—the five elements of the human world!
Moreover, there are quite a few of the five elements in the human body!

If you count them all, there are as many as ten thousand strands.

So is this considered a reward for repairing the Xuan Tie Qingtian Pillar?
That's quite generous!

Wang Wu was overjoyed. At this moment, he picked up the jade talisman of the Hidden Origin Society and saw that relevant information had already appeared on it.

"As a fifth-rank steward of the Hidden Origin Society, you proactively discovered and resolved a problem without any task guidance. You have received the reward of the Hidden Origin Bell, your steward rank has been promoted to fourth rank, and your authority has been enhanced."

"You are now the nineteenth fourth-rank steward of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance branch of the Hidden Origin Society. Your current authority is as follows."

"You can now use one hundred strands of human five elements to perform point-to-point teleportation at any location within a five-thousand-mile radius of the Hidden Origin Bell."

"You can now be directly teleported into the Hidden Origin Bell for daily cultivation. You can receive a certain amount of spiritual energy dividends every day based on the Hidden Origin Bell's stored spiritual energy."

"You can now purchase supplies from the twelve branch altars of the Hidden Origin Society at a 20% discount."

"You will be qualified to observe all matters, large and small, of the Hidden Origin Society's branch altars. However, you may also choose to refuse. If you choose the former, you must disclose your identity, name, and background. If you choose the latter, you will be protected by anonymity."

-

Good heavens, this is only a fourth-rank steward, yet he has such benefits. Wang Wu was overjoyed, but at the same time he felt even more urgent. He didn't have time to check the details of the benefits, but instead seized the time to continue checking the other Xuan Iron Sky Pillars.

As expected, the damage to the Xuan Tie Qingtian Pillar was more severe in areas with a high concentration of mortals.

Some of the Xuan Tie Sky Pillars only have three or five tiny cracks inside, which do not even affect the operation of the formation, while others have dozens or even hundreds of cracks.

Wang Wuze always opts for minimally invasive repairs.

Once repaired, the Hidden Origin Bell will reward you based on the number of cracks and the difficulty of the repair, ranging from a thousand to ten thousand, or even twenty thousand strands of human five elements.

Wang Wu worked non-stop until dawn the next day, inspecting the seventy-six Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars. Among them, five had serious problems, even affecting the operation of the magic array, while fourteen did not affect the operation of the magic array.

In total, Wang Wu obtained nearly 100,000 strands of human five elements and successfully rose to the rank of third-grade steward of the Hidden Origin Society.

Ranked sixth.

In other words, there are only six third-rank deacons in the Suzaku Immortal Alliance branch of the Hidden Origin Society.

Hehe, he seems to have quite a high position of power.

However, the benefits of a third-rank steward remain largely unchanged, except that they can purchase supplies at a 30% discount.

In addition, a new rule has been added: one can consume the five elements of the human realm to exchange for a portion of resources, including spiritual energy.

"Wait a minute, something seems off."

Wang Wu frowned. He had repaired a total of nineteen Xuan Tie pillars, but even the most severely damaged pillars did not have their Ninefold Tribulation Fire Array or Three Realms Spirit Wind Array damaged. They could function normally as long as the internal cracks were repaired.

If one or two are like this, it might be a coincidence, but if all nineteen are like this, then there must be something wrong somewhere.

"Unless, the normal repair method requires recasting the Xuan Iron Sky Pillar, then the two precious materials, Evil Wind Cloud Marrow and Pale Ashes, are needed to redeploy the magic array."

"No way, my level 18 spiritual energy advantage is really that big?"

Wang Wu was shocked and found it hard to believe. He really only knew that level 18 spiritual energy was amazing, but he never imagined it would be this amazing. "I understand."

"This Xuan Tie Sky Pillar is forged from Xuan Tie that has been refined to the extreme. It requires the Xuan Tie inside to have an extremely high spiritual energy resonance effect, just like a natal flying sword!"

“Normally, even a micron-sized crack in a natal flying sword would be detected by divine sense, since it is a magical treasure connected to one’s life.”

"But this Xuan Tie Sky Pillar is three hundred meters high and ten meters in radius. Its volume is so huge that it is comparable to a natal flying sword of the eighth grade of the Heavenly Realm. In addition, the refined Xuan Tie has the characteristic of isolating the senses. Let alone ordinary cultivators, even if a cultivator of the first grade of the Heavenly Realm came, he would not be able to discover such a tiny internal crack unless he refined it into his own natal flying sword."

"Therefore, the best solution is to pull it out and recast it!"

"So it's no wonder that the head of the Hidden Origin Society's branch here wants to rebuild a base; it's because of this reason!"

With the case solved, Wang Wu felt completely at ease.

Based on his current position as a third-rank steward of the Hidden Origin Society, his shares in 10 strands of human five energies, and his merit in repairing these nineteen Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars, he can even make his own voice heard.

Yes, fourth-rank deacons only have the right to listen in, while third-rank deacons already have the right to offer suggestions, but unfortunately they still do not have the right to veto.

Without further ado, Wang Wu continued his inspection, repairing each damaged pillar as he discovered it, until all 108 Xuan Tie pillars had been inspected and all the damaged pillars had been repaired.

His contributions finally broke through the limit, and he became a second-rank steward of the Hidden Origin Society without having to hand over the Five Elements of the Human World. Note that this second-rank steward is valid in any of the twelve Immortal Alliance branch altars.

His total amount of the five elements of human nature has also successfully exceeded 150,000 strands.

Furthermore, the permissions and benefits are finally different.

Upon opening the jade talisman, lines of information appeared.

"As a third-rank steward of the Hidden Origin Society, you proactively discovered and resolved a problem without any task guidance. You have received the reward of the Hidden Origin Bell, your steward rank has been promoted to second rank, and your authority has been enhanced."

"Now, you are the fourth second-rank steward of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance branch of the Hidden Origin Society. You already have the right to cast a vote of approval or disapproval in the current branch. Note that if you go to other branches, you need to wait in the current branch for more than ten years before you can obtain the right to cast a vote of approval or disapproval."

"You can now use one hundred strands of human five elements to perform point-to-point teleportation at any location within a radius of 30,000 miles of the Hidden Origin Bell."

"You can now be directly teleported into the Hidden Origin Bell for daily cultivation. You will receive a certain amount of spiritual energy dividends each day based on the Hidden Origin Bell's stored spiritual energy."

"You can now purchase supplies from the twelve branch altars of the Hidden Origin Society at a 40% discount."

"You can use the five elements of the human world to exchange for most of the supplies in the Hidden Origin Society's top-secret warehouse."

"You can now post new Hidden Origin Missions in the current branch of the Hidden Origin Society. The highest rank is fourth grade, and the lowest is ninth grade. If a Hidden Origin Society steward completes the corresponding mission, you will receive a 10% commission on the reward."

"You can now obtain a separate, hidden miniature world within the Hidden Origin Bell."

"You will receive high-level protection from the Hidden Origin Bell within a radius of 100,000 li. When you are attacked by any immortal artifact of a level no higher than the Hidden Origin Bell, the damage will be reduced by 80%."

-

"Great, great, this is exactly the kind of perk I wanted!"

"It's a pity there are no other Optimus Primes to repair. Otherwise, if I were promoted to a first-rank deacon, I should be able to sit on equal footing with that old man in black robes and have a veto right."

"And now, I wonder if we can stop their relocation plans?"

"Also, does that old man in black robes already know of my existence?"

Many thoughts flashed through Wang Wu's mind. He felt that the problem still lay with Gui Taizhen. As long as Gui Taizhen was dealt with, then the important external condition for the migration of the Hidden Yuan Society would no longer exist.

Even with the help of the Hidden Origin Bell, Wang Wu would still have no chance against a Taiyi True Immortal.

So, let's take a look at the supplies in the top-secret warehouse first.

With a thought, Wang Wu's jade talisman, which had turned golden, immediately began to generate relevant information.

"Based on your current total number of the five elements of the human realm and your permissions, the following is a list of all top-secret supplies that you can purchase or exchange."

"A fifth-grade Yang Thunder: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"A ball of fifth-grade Yin Fire: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"A fifth-grade evil wind (with the fifth stage evolution of the evil wind bone plague): Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"A damaged fifth-grade Yang Thunder Immortal Talisman: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"A damaged fifth-grade pale immortal talisman: exchange condition: 150,000 strands of mortal five elements."

"A damaged fifth-grade evil wind immortal talisman: exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"One Grade 5 Five Elements Spirit Pill: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human Five Elements."

"One ninth-grade Creation Golden Pill: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"One Grade Nine Free and Easy Golden Pill: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of human five elements."

"A fragmented, damaged page of the Book of Creation: Exchange condition: 150,000 strands of the five elements of the human world."
