The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 427 Xu Taiping

Not bad!

Wang Wu was very satisfied and not surprised.

He opened the Qiankun Box and found that it contained 500,000 strands of the five elements of the human world.

That's incredibly sincere.

Then I'll give you face.

He was about to step into the teleportation light when Xu Taiping stopped him.

"My lord, beware of a trap!"

But Wang Wu just sneered!
"Fake it or not! If they're so capable, then they can fake it. If they don't, then they're my grandsons!"

As he spoke, he stood on the teleportation light without hesitation. Xu Taiping wanted to hesitate for a moment, but he was grabbed by him. "Kid, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"

If he hesitates even slightly, it proves that he is afraid!
Moreover, Xu Taiping, a commoner among the Earth Immortals, would never understand the terrifying background of someone like Shuangjun or Baiyu. They are not afraid of being tricked, as they themselves are their greatest trump card.

The other party may have doubts, but they would absolutely not dare to take the risk.

Furthermore, Wang Wu made it clear from the beginning that it was his concubine who fell for the scam out of boredom, not him personally. Therefore, this "pig butchering scam" was not designed for someone like him, or rather, someone of Bai Yu's status.

They're targeting ordinary elites like Xu Taiping! Middle-class cultivators!

What, you disagree?

call out!
A flash of white light appeared, and Wang Wu returned the way he came. Almost the instant he returned to Madam Yu's cave, the Three Realms Simulation Array Plate self-destructed.

Sigh, they're not afraid of being exposed, nor are they worried about you spreading the news to the whole world, but they're really afraid of someone like Frost Lord, or Bai Yu's family coming to their door to kill them.

At this moment, Xu Taiping was finally dumbfounded, shocked, and terrified!
He may have had a sliver of hope before, but now it has all crumbled.

They're scammers, just scammers, it's a pig butchering scam!

The facts are undeniable and cannot be questioned.

Just then, Madam Yu returned with Snake Nineteen. She was stunned when she saw Wang Wu, and even more shocked when she saw Xu Taiping.

"The array plate, where is my Three Realms Simulation Array Plate?!"

Madam Yu didn't even bother to ask Wang Wu why he came here; she just looked heartbroken.

"My territory has just started to improve, and I have just invested 500,000 strands of human energy. Husband, husband, has something terrible happened?"

Madam Yu was shocked, while Snake Nineteen was even paler, his anxiety evident.

Wait, five hundred thousand strands of the five elements of the human world?
It seems, could it be?
You guys are actually doing business in the pig-slaughtering scam of the thieves' guild?

Wang Wu just wanted to laugh out loud. See? Even immortals can be fooled, if the swindlers are immortals too.

Seeing that Wang Wu remained silent, Madam Yu quickly calmed down. She did not ask who Xu Taiping was, but simply bowed respectfully, saying, "My lord, I was impolite."

Although Snake Nineteen was very anxious, it didn't ask any questions. It knew its place with outsiders present.

"His name is Xu Taiping, and he's the fourth player on the Three Realms Array Plate. Jiayan, you should recognize him," Wang Wu said with a smile.

"Xu Taiping? Ask about Taiping! You're asking about Taiping?" Madam Yu was taken aback, but immediately realized what she meant.

"This humble man, Xu Taiping, pays his respects to the two ladies!"

Xu Taiping bowed respectfully and greeted him politely, showing great maturity.

Madam Yu was taken aback, and Snake Nineteen's face showed anger, but she held back. The key point was its 500,000 strands of human five elements, which it had raised from everyone, hoping to make a big profit.

After all, Mrs. Yu's older sister was so powerful, so classy, ​​and so reliable!

For the past hundred years, it has never failed to perform. During the last crisis in Dragon Head City during the Lesser Cold, it was through the channel of this array plate that Dragon Head City was able to resolve its urgent crisis.

But now, both of them felt uneasy, yet also felt that it was too absurd and too impossible.

Wang Wu didn't try to correct anything, but simply said, "From now on, everyone can only purchase supplies from the Hidden Origin Society's general storehouse. If you want to go to the secret storehouse, don't blame me for not warning you!"

"Furthermore, don't touch those things like the 'Time-killing, Supreme Three Realms Array Plate' or anything like that. Those are all scams by thieves. You guys are lucky this time; you were only tricked out of 500,000 strands of human five elements. If you hadn't been so lucky that I came out of seclusion first and went on a trip out of boredom, you might have really been refined into an immortal pill."

Wang Wu gave Snake Nineteen a meaningful look. A smart person never wastes words. At this moment, Snake Nineteen was already sweating profusely with fright. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Because Wang Wu no longer needs to present evidence, reason, or distinguish truth from falsehood; if he says it's a "pig butchering scam" and that he's a fraudster, then it really is true, there's no mistake about it.

However, there are five hundred thousand strands of the five elements of the human world!

It's good to learn from this experience!
Where are the five elements of human existence?
With a wave of his hand, Wang Wu took Xu Taiping out of Dragon Head City and used fire escape to travel 100,000 miles away.

At that moment, Xu Taiping knelt down again with a thud.

"I will never forget the life-saving grace of the True Immortal Lord. I beg the True Immortal Lord to take me in. I am willing to serve you like a slave, go through fire and water, and be your lackey!"

Wang Wu smiled at this moment. He had indeed considered taking Xu Taiping under his command, but ultimately dismissed the idea.

It's not that I think Xu Taiping is unreliable or that he'll be unpredictable in the future.

Rather, that would be too wasteful.

What a wonderful immortal who rose from humble beginnings!

He wasn't looking to be a spectator; he just wanted to see how far Xu Taiping could go.

Seriously, if this were a novel from my home planet Earth, Xu Taiping would be the perfect protagonist template.

He was patient, resolute, intelligent, low-key, and decisive in killing. It was just that the methods of the Thieves were too amazing, and they managed to trap him for hundreds of years. In addition, who would have thought that a high and mighty immortal would deceive people?
He suffered because he failed to dispel the illusion.

So keeping him by my side would be beneath him. His future belongs to the stars and the sea; he should be remembered in the annals of the cultivation world.

Well, Wang Wu can just keep an eye on things from behind.

As Lei Xianren once said, "If you stand in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly."

Moreover, such outstanding individuals are rare indeed.
"Remember this, you owe me a favor. I have high hopes for your future. If you don't die, your name will surely resound throughout the cultivation world. So, don't worry about anything else. I'm giving you a great opportunity, and I hope to reap the benefits a hundredfold or even a thousandfold in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

"The villain understands!"

Xu Taiping slowly stood up; he was indeed a clever fellow.

Wang Wu smiled and then asked, "Have you ever heard of Foundation Establishment Formations?"

"I've heard of it, but cultivators like us with no foundation have no chance of obtaining it." Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but get excited. He understood all too well what kind of opportunity this was.

"Now, if you are willing, if you believe, and if you are willing to take the gamble, I can deploy a first-order Five Elements Spirit Array within your body, based on your five spirit pills. Of course, if you have any reservations, that's fine too."

"I am willing. My life was saved by the True Immortal Lord. I am willing!"

Xu Taiping was overjoyed. No matter how shrewd, intelligent, or experienced he was, he didn't know that Wang Wu wanted to learn the operating techniques of his five spirit pills.

He was truly convinced. He had been convinced when he had bombarded Wang Wu with sword formations so many times before, yet he couldn't even hurt a hair on the other's head. If it weren't for his strong will, his Dao heart would have collapsed long ago.

So at this moment, even though he has always been cautious, he was willing to take this gamble!
"good!"

Wang Wu smiled slightly, then led Xu Taiping back using fire escape techniques. Only then did he return to the cave within the Hidden Origin Bell.

This transaction cannot be completed within the power of the Hidden Origin Bell, nor can the Hidden Origin Bell be used to leave an official record of Xu Taiping's presence here.

Because what Wang Wu did was no less serious than Prometheus stealing fire from the heavens.

Don't be fooled by his ability to teach Snake Nineteen and the others foundation-building formations; it's because they're actually quite useless.

Yes, they're useless.

Even Wang Wu himself was incompetent.

Having escaped from the Great Wilderness Prison, they were nothing more than wild children who had never been raised, petty thugs, petty thieves, nothing at all!

He used to think that they were all very strong and quite good.

However, when Gray Elder abandoned him without hesitation, when Bai Yu told him the secret of the Foundation Establishment Formation, and when he witnessed the amazing talent of Xu Taiping, a commoner Earth Immortal.

He then realized just how turbulent and hopeless the cultivation world truly was!

With his current abilities, he is still far from being competent enough.

His foundation is not even comparable to that of a commoner-born Earth Immortal!
Don't assume that those chosen ones from cultivation clans and noble families are just good-for-nothings.

In fact, the reason he was able to attract those eight cold-weather birds more than Bai Yu last time was...

It's because his bloodline evolution level is too high.

His blood smells very good.

Because he wasn't a commoner either!
"I'm warning you now, if you cause trouble in the future, or if someone discovers the Foundation Establishment array within your body, I will absolutely not admit it. Even if you reveal my name, I will use the power of my family to silence you and everyone related to you! You will die without a burial place, while I will only suffer some physical pain."

Wang Wu solemnly warned again that this point must be made clear, and that this guy should not be allowed to have even the slightest bit of wishful thinking.

"You should calm your mind for three days and wait until you are in a good state before I set up the foundation-building formation for you."

"Yes! I will never forget the True Immortal's orders."

Next, Wang Wu sat down at a distance, his eyes gleaming, while Xu Taiping began to adjust his state; this was the official start of his journey to learn the craft.

Xu Taiping's more than a thousand years of arduous cultivation, his talent, his wisdom, and his skills will all be presented without reservation.

Nothing can escape Lingyun's detection.

Although the power of the Book of Creation has not yet dissipated, we can still glean insights from its subtle signs.

Xu Taiping's basic skills are so solid.

In particular, he himself cultivated a Fire Spirit Pill, and even a subtle operation of it could greatly benefit Wang Wu.

Time flew by, and three days passed. Xu Taiping had recovered to his peak condition.

Wang Wu also reaped great rewards.

At this moment, he did not get up, nor did he need to enter the belly of Snake Nineteen as he had done before.

There's no need for that. Xu Taiping's five spirit pills truly reached a certain peak of perfection, without even any hidden injuries. This is because he seems to have created a Five Elements Rotation Breathing Method, which allows the power of the five spirit pills to restrain and complement each other.

Although this is not a new theory, and even Wang Wu knows that different forces interact and counteract each other, a more sophisticated and accurate large-scale model and structure are still needed.

There are also differences between the model structures.

For example, the Ice-Fire Elixir resonance structure that Wang Wu once developed is actually like a perfect score homework submitted by a primary school student.

For example, the Greatest Common Equity Model he created earlier is a similar model structure, which is nothing short of amazing and even quite outstanding.

But in reality, this is no different from the old Russians' big-brush, big-black-crude thinking.

Wang Wu relied entirely on his innate bloodline of the Five Demon Pills as logistical support, and also on the external force of the Cold Howling Bird, who used the Ice Spirit Pill as a domineering older brother, to forcibly, forcefully, and recklessly create this Greatest Common Pill structure.

This is something that no one else in the world but Wang Wu could do.

Or, even if someone were capable of doing such a thing, they would absolutely disdain to do it.

Otherwise, how did he get those five spiritual pills and all the hidden injuries on his body?

If it weren't for his level 18 spiritual energy recognizing him, he would have been crippled.

However, Xu Taiping, without the support of the Five Demon Pills of innate bloodline, and without the special power of the Cold-Weather Bird, just by relying on his understanding and exquisite control of the five spiritual energies, and with his intelligence, deduced this small but powerful and exquisite structural model on his own. If this is not called dragon-powerful, then what is?
This person is incredibly talented and has an exceptional level of comprehension.

Wang Wu was absolutely certain that this guy was destined to emerge out of nowhere and amaze the cultivation world for hundreds of thousands of years.

Wonderful! Wonderful!
At this moment, Wang Wu truly felt like he was making history.

Well, thankfully, his Blood Curse buff is still active. Otherwise, with Gray Elder's level 27 divination skills, he might have been able to deduce his schemes. When facing someone like Xu Taiping, the options are either to take him as a disciple or to eliminate him to prevent future troubles...

Of course, Wang Wu isn't an old fogey, nor does he stand at such a high level; his thoughts may not be correct...

At this moment, Wang Wu felt a sense of awe and adjusted his strategy slightly.

"Are you familiar with the Five Elements Spirit Array?"

"Reporting to the True Immortal Lord, I only know about the Five Elements Spirit Pill, but the formula has always been a closely guarded secret among major merchants and forces. Even on the black market, anyone who dares to mention the Five Elements Spirit Pill formula will be deduced by a powerful immortal. Therefore, no one dares to sell it. However, I have considered purchasing the Five Elements Spirit Pill to deduce the formula."

"So what was the result?"

"It's very difficult. I have used this method to reverse-engineer the formulas of hundreds of elixirs, but the formula for the Five Elements Elixir is the only one that is difficult to reverse-engineer."

"Is that so? That shouldn't be the case!" Wang Wu was taken aback. When he first mastered the Five Elements Spirit Pill, he found it very complicated, but with Xu Taiping's extraordinary wisdom, it was impossible for him not to be able to do it.

"Wait, what grade of Five Elements Spirit Pill did you buy?"

"Reporting to the True Immortal Lord, it is a fourth-grade pill. Only fourth-grade Five Elements Spirit Pills are available on the market. It is impossible for it to be lower than the fourth grade or higher than the fourth grade, unless you go to the secret vault. Moreover, the price is too expensive. I only deduced it once before I had to give up."

"Then why didn't you think about joining the Hidden Origin Society and improving your rank and authority by completing Hidden Origin missions? For example, becoming a ninth-rank elder."

Wang Wu asked again.

“You’re joking, Immortal Master. It’s not that easy. To become a ninth-rank elder of the Hidden Origin Society, you need the recommendation of a third-rank elder. Otherwise, no matter how much mortal energy you accumulate, you will not be able to advance. Instead, you will be suppressed or assigned to very dangerous missions. I have worked in the Hidden Origin Society for hundreds of years, but I have never had the opportunity to advance to the ninth-rank elder.”

It turned out to be the case.

Wang Wu suddenly realized how lucky he was. He seemed to have advanced to the ninth-rank elder through his own efforts, but in reality, it was Elder Hui who had taken him as a disciple first.

He owed Old Gray a huge favor again.

However, since Elder Gray, Black Emperor, and Frost Lord all wanted to take him as their disciple, a genius like Xu Taiping should easily stand out if he is outstanding enough.

There can only be one reason: he was too meticulous and thorough in his work. He was also too cautious, never taking risks easily, and always keeping a low profile, which caused him to miss out on opportunities to be appreciated.

The reason why Wang Wu was favored by the Black Emperor and Frost Lord in Dragon Head City was because he could break through Gui Taizhen's protective talisman, repair the base of the Hidden Origin Bell, and even dare to fight against the then-head of the organization...

Therefore, the truth is often quite simple.
