The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 500 Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance
On the spirit-catching boat, the 24 cricket dragons remained silent, but Wang Wu could feel their shocked gazes.

Although what happened just now happened very quickly and ended in the blink of an eye, they were still able to tell the difference because they had mastered the talent of keen observation.

Even the usually talkative and energetic little dragon became as quiet as a chicken.

A ninth-level Earth Immortal, yet able to control a fifth-level Taiyi Immortal?
What a concept!

This is completely illogical; we must have misread it!
However, before the cricket dragons could recover from their shock, the companion of the fifth-level Taiyi True Immortal had already caught up. In the end, the distance was too close, and with the bright protective talisman on Wang Wu's body, it was easy for them to find their lair.

There are a total of six Taiyi, one at the sixth level, three at the fifth level, and two at the fourth level, which is quite good.

Of course, the other side didn't hurl any excessive insults, but instead directly signaled for a prisoner exchange.

"Qingluo, go and negotiate the price with them. Don't make things too difficult for them. We'll be seeing each other all the time. We should learn to be kind to others. It's okay to suffer a little loss. As the ancient sages said, suffering a loss is a blessing."

Wang Wu gave Qingluo earnest instructions, but the spirited little dragon stared blankly at him, finally showing a hint of fear on its face. This was someone who could face Shuang Liuyun's lightning whip without flinching, but now it was actually a little afraid.

Wang Wu felt that it must be due to a deficiency in his moral character.

"By the way, take back the blessing you gave me. I've been suffering from anxiety and unease because I'm receiving blessings that don't match my virtue. This is not a sustainable way to live."

"Grass!"

The spirited little dragon finally came to its senses and fled as if escaping.

Wang Wu quickly returned to his cabin cave, set up the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, and then took out the Taiyi True Immortal who had been frozen into an ice block.

He was really unlucky. To be honest, Wang Wu was hardly qualified to compete with a fifth-level Taiyi. He was just an unlucky guy who got overwhelmed by three Great Cold-Weather Birds, five Medium Cold-Weather Birds, and twelve Small Cold-Weather Birds.

What terrifying power this is! Even this Taiyi True Immortal, who possesses three Grade 5 Creation Pills and two Grade 6 Creation Pills, and whose overall strength, while not as great as Feng Muhan, is not far behind, has been frozen.

The elixir was frozen, the soul was frozen, all supernatural powers and methods were useless, and even consciousness was suspended.

Of course, it won't be fatal. If left untreated and the external environment doesn't change much, it will recover on its own after a few hundred years. At most, it will cause some minor, insignificant injuries to the Creation Elixir, which can be ignored...

Wang Wu was kind-hearted and wouldn't go to extremes. He quickly collected all the birds that should be collected, but resolutely refused to collect the ones that shouldn't be collected. He even left two extra small birds inside this fellow's body.

It's not that he refused to give it to them, nor that he was being malicious; he genuinely cared about the other person's well-being.

Just as a patient with a broken bone must be carried on a stretcher, if he forcibly took away the cold-weather bird, the other party would suffer even greater harm. These are all recorded in the travelogues of Lu Tong and his companions, clearly and in detail.

Ok?
At this moment, Wang Wu suddenly frowned, only to see that the unfortunate fellow in the ice block had inexplicably been stained with a blood-red glow, looking as beautiful as blood jade. But this was actually a sign that his Creation Immortal Body was about to collapse.

What the hell? A dignified Taiyi fifth level cultivator, how can your immortal body be so fragile?
Wang Wu quickly recalled the events and immediately came to the answer: this guy had a hidden injury. That's right, there was a hidden injury in the elixir, left over sometime during the day, and it hadn't healed. As a result, this time, it was first exposed by his spiritual essence and then attacked by the various sizes of the Cold-Weather Birds, causing it to collapse completely.

Damn, this is not good news.

That's a bit unlucky!
Wang Wu almost cursed at this moment.

Because if it were a normal prisoner exchange, the other side probably wouldn't make a big deal out of it and would just exchange some Siberian pheasants. That's the established custom. What can you do if you're not as skilled as the other side?
But the situation has now become serious.

Wang Wu was almost certain that if this Taiyi fifth-level cultivator were swapped back, and the other side didn't have the corresponding means, he would immediately fall into a state of severe injury. Even if he didn't die, he would lose tens of thousands of years of lifespan, and several of his Creation Pills would shatter, rendering him completely useless.

Given this, the other party is unlikely to let it go easily.

So what to do?
If Wang Wu were my own brother, I wouldn't care about you. I'd kill you, wipe my Qiankun bag, and leave. What are you going to do about it?

But now that he is the lord of the Frost Domain, he can't just run away from the temple.

Is it really the act of a good leader to let things escalate without taking any action to stop it, and then allow the conflict to grow?

The ability to turn big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing is an essential skill for any leader.

"Forget it, just consider it part of the training!"

Wang Wu was quite open-minded. Mainly, he had already used his spiritual energy to see through the person and knew his situation very well. It was like a skilled emergency room doctor who happened to encounter a patient who urgently needed surgery. What a coincidence!
He naturally became busy.

First, he adjusted the irradiation of Yin and Yang energies and shone it on the most damaged part of the opponent's elixir. Back then, Lu Tong's elixir was shattered into pieces, but he was able to piece it back together. So what about this little injury? Well, to him, the elixir is still a complete whole, only with some cracks on it. It's too easy. If he wasn't reluctant to part with the largest elixir, he was confident that he could revive it in full condition within three seconds!
"Huh? This isn't an ordinary elixir. This seems to be—the legendary Creation Gu Elixir? Someone from the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance!"

Wang Wu was taken aback; he had read about it in the travelogue of Lu Tong and the other three.

The Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance is also a very powerful force among the Nine Alliances, Three Assemblies, and Two Sects.

Very strong.

For a long time, it has been known for exporting Shadow Immortal Alliance.

For example, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance that Madam Lu inherited seemed to be secretly supported by the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance. In fact, the so-called Twelve Immortal Alliances that he knew about were basically just shadow alliances.

It sounds incredible, but it's actually quite simple.

Just like the Five Tigers of the County, the Eight Steeds of the Prefecture, the Ten Heroes of Taihang Mountain, the Thirty-Six Swordsmen of the Northwest, the Fifty-Six Swordsmen of the Northeast, the Sixty-Four Heavenly Generals of the Southwest, and the Three Hundred and Sixty Tiger Generals of the Southeast.

When a place gets big, it's always like this.

But none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance is skilled at refining immortal Gu.

Lu Tong and his group didn't know the specifics, but they knew that when they encountered the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, they would try to minimize the trouble and avoid offending them. Of course, the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance never provoked other forces, and everyone played in their own territory, living in peace.

However, this time it seems there's some trouble—the Creation Gu Spirit Pill!

Unable to resist, Wang Wu once again used his spiritual insight to thoroughly examine this Creation Gu Spirit Pill.

Then he realized that this was a cultivation method completely different from the normal cultivation system.

However, it still doesn't escape the concepts of Yin and Yang, the Three Calamities, the Five Elements, the Nine Extinctions, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

It's a bit of an off-the-beaten-path approach.

For example, this fellow has five Creation Gu Spirit Pills.

These are Spring Silkworm Gu, Great Cold Gu, Great Heat Gu, Dragon Snake Gu, and Lion Tiger Gu.

Furthermore, there are two Foundation Establishment Formations, one at the first level and the other at the third level, indicating that the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance has already established a systematic approach to cultivating the Creation Gu Spirit Pill.

Among these, the Spring Silkworm Gu seems to be primarily about control, capable of forming the Azure Silk Immortal Gu, which is particularly adept at invading the soul, and it seems to have a great restraining effect on the talent of discerning subtle details.

Isn't this just the perfect way to restrain him!
Wang Wu was almost startled at this moment, nearly thinking that he had been tricked. However, after operating the Five Elements Cat Array for a while and then specifically irradiating it with Yin and Yang energies, he breathed a sigh of relief. No power or supernatural ability, or any random Gu Spirit Pill, could escape the irradiation of Yin and Yang energies.

This is the greatest axiom in the cultivation world!
Then, the Great Cold Gu, as the name suggests, is made by directly capturing the Cold-Weather Bird and refining it into the Azure Sea Immortal Gu.

The Great Heat Gu is made from the Fire Spirit Guardian.

The Dragon-Snake Gu was made using the Dragon Clan.

The same principle applies to the Lion-Tiger Gu.

In short, this is not a proper cultivator; it's more like an unorthodox practice.

They don't care about acquired or innate abilities at all; they directly seize your power and refine it into Gu Spirit Pills. Especially when it becomes a system, a force to be reckoned with, and a major power in the cultivation world, then there's nothing that can be done about it.

I had no choice but to accept it, even if I had to hold my nose.

While thinking, Wang Wu continued to repair the device, and this repair was a great gain for him.

First-hand information about the Gu Ling Dan.

I'm so happy! I don't have to worry about Gu Ling Dan anymore.

Honestly, after using spiritual energy to see through it, he found that it was nothing special. Oh no, it was actually profound, mysterious, and extraordinary. It was indeed something that a fool like him could not grasp.

In just over ten minutes, Wang Wu had basically stabilized Taiyi's injuries. He then used a Great Cold Bird to seal the wound again, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he figured that the deal with the Spirit Dragon had been finalized.

At that moment, Wang Wu brought out the much smaller ice cube and ran into Qing Luo. Her expression was quite intriguing. Could it be that the other party was asking for an exorbitant price?
Nobody's that stupid.

"The other party agreed to exchange it for ten Great Cold-Weather Birds. This is the current market price; it's not the highest, but it's not low either. Sir, is there anything else I haven't considered?"

"No, that's fine, deal. As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. It's a trade! You take full responsibility, I won't show up."

Wang Wu threw the ice block aside and turned to leave.

"Sir, what's wrong with him?"

Qingluo said in a trembling voice, seemingly very scared, because although the guy in the ice block had basically stabilized his injuries, he still had some hidden injuries. Wang Wu wasn't his father, and after obtaining all the secrets, who cared about his hidden injuries? So he looked terrible, with blood gushing into the sky.

"It's nothing, he just had a relapse of an old injury from the elixir, he won't die. Just hand him over to the other party, and he'll be able to heal naturally."

Wang Wu waved his hand dismissively. "So what? He's already done a great job."
