This Young Master Has Infinite Comprehension-Chapter 45: Rumor about Seven Peaks of The Northern Mountains

Chapter 45: Rumor about Seven Peaks of The Northern Mountains

Wang Gu was startled. He had already expected that the Nine Yin Cold Flame would most likely be in the Yin-Yang Sect. After all, a cold Yin-type flame perfectly matched their sect’s nature.

Even so, doubt rose in his heart at the thought of returning there. The Ice Meridian Curse had already been destroyed, and the one who used it had been killed.

But that was exactly the problem. Lin Ruyue had been a Grand Elder of the sect, one of the many cultivators with the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

For any sect, having more Nascent Soul cultivators meant a higher status in the cultivation world. Losing Lin Ruyue was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Yin-Yang Sect.

"About that... I’m not sure I could survive in the Yin-Yang Sect, especially after I killed Lin Ruyue," Wang Gu said.

Wang Yunxi nodded. It was unfortunate that her acquaintance had to die for the Ice Meridian Curse to be broken. But this was the cultivation world. The weak were always oppressed by the strong.

"With your current ability, you will face great difficulty and danger. You might be able to deal with the elders, but not the Grand Elders or the Sect Master," Wang Yunxi replied.

She turned to him and walked closer with steady steps. "At the very least, you must reach Peak Core Formation to stand on equal footing against them."

Wang Gu fell silent for a moment. He briefly considered whether there was another pill solution he could use without getting involved with the Yin-Yang Sect. However, that path would be far more exhausting and difficult, whether in gathering materials or obtaining a demonic flame.

Feng Ye Sect already had more than enough resources to refine the Orchid Petal Cold Pill. The only thing they lacked was the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

In Wang Gu’s view, the Orchid Petal Cold Pill was the fastest solution to help Feng Qing. He had even prepared a pill formula to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, relying on the Nine Yin Cold Flame and the Muyan Demonic Flame.

It was not a Spirit Infant Pill, but an ancient type of pill that was highly effective in helping a Golden Core cultivator break through to Nascent Soul.

Wang Gu let out a breath and glanced to the side, watching the flowers blooming in the garden. "Peak Core Formation? Breaking through within the Core Formation realm is clearly not as easy as Foundation Establishment."

Yunxi nodded slightly, aware of the difficulty Wang Gu was facing.

She tapped her bag of holding and handed him a mysterious map scroll. Wang Gu looked at it, accepted it, and immediately opened it.

"One of the cultivators from the Hong Clan came and gave this to me as a gift. It is the Map of the Seven Peaks of the Northern Mountains."

"Only those who have reached Foundation Establishment can enter that place. The natural forces there will crush anyone whose cultivation exceeds its limits," Wang Yunxi explained.

"What is the highest cultivation allowed there?"

"At most, Peak Core Formation."

That means I can still go there.

"As far as I know, the Seven Peaks of the Northern Mountains is a place for hunting beasts and meditating. Why are you recommending this to me?" Wang Gu asked.

"It’s natural that you don’t know, Qing’er."

"There is a hidden secret within the Seven Peaks of the Northern Mountains. In truth, there is an eighth peak."

"An eighth peak?" Wang Gu asked.

"That’s right."

Wang Yunxi described the eighth peak as a hot spring lake filled with fairies, a place where those beings resided.

Any cultivator who managed to reach it would be given two choices: have a wish granted or increase their cultivation realm.

"The Seven Peaks of the Northern Mountains can grant your wish to obtain the Nine Yin Cold Flame, or you can bathe with the fairies and raise your cultivation realm within a single full moon," Yunxi said.

Asking for the Nine Yin Cold Flame isn’t worth it. It’s better to increase my cultivation and crush the Yin-Yang Sect to obtain that demonic flame myself.

"Then how is this secret solved? How do I find the eighth peak?" Wang Gu asked.

Wang Yunxi only responded with a faint smile. She walked back to her pavilion and calmly poured tea into her glass cup.

"You are clever and observant, Qing’er. You will realize it when you arrive there."

"I cannot help you any further. This is all I can give you," Wang Yunxi said.

Wang Gu nodded, cupping his hands and bowing respectfully. "I am grateful for all the help you’ve given me, Mother."

"I promise I will not disappoint your expectations," he added.

Wang Yunxi smiled warmly as she finished her tea. She set the cup down and turned gracefully to look at him, her gaze filled with a mother’s affection.

"You have never disappointed me, Qing’er."

"Be careful." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Wang Gu took her advice to heart. He cupped his hands once more and bid farewell.

He left the Wang clan residence, while Yunxi remained seated in the garden pavilion, enjoying the warmth of the afternoon.

Walking along the main road of Hongsu City, Wang Gu headed toward the southern gate. He deliberately took a detour, passing through rows of shops and stalls selling equipment and antique items.

His steps came to a halt in front of a red-orange pagoda tower. It had three floors, with the first floor being the largest.

Wang Gu scanned his surroundings and saw many cultivators entering and leaving the pagoda. A woman in a revealing dress approached him.

"Welcome to the Hong Clan Shop. Are you interested in joining our auction?" she asked.

Hong Clan Shop?

"What are the main items in today’s auction?"

"We have a Earth-grade lightning-element technique scroll. We also have a Earth-grade formation scroll, and a sword of unknown rank."

"Not only that, we are also selling many other items that may interest you," the woman replied.

Maybe I can buy a few items here to help me later.

After a moment of thought, Wang Gu nodded. The woman smiled brightly, pleased to have successfully recruited a cultivator. If he managed to purchase something at the auction, she would receive a bonus.

A participation bonus for bringing in a cultivator.

Wang Gu followed her inside. The pagoda was bustling with cultivators. Some had come only to shop, while others planned to participate in the auction.

"Would you like to register as a regular participant or VIP?"

Wang Gu stood before a wooden registration desk. Looking ahead, he saw that most of the seats on the first floor, reserved for regular participants, were already filled.

Only a few spots remained on the second floor, where VIP participants were seated. Out of ten rooms, six were already occupied.

"I’ll take VIP."

"The registration fee is 10,000 spirit stones. I will also need your identity token, Senior Dao."

Wang Gu tapped his bag of holding and produced two small black pouches, each worth 10,000 spirit stones. He handed them directly to the woman at the desk.

"20,000 spirit stones, and you forget about my identity token," Wang Gu said.

The woman was startled, then glanced at the staff member who had brought him in. With a faint smile, she nodded in agreement.

"Welcome to the Hong Clan Auction, Senior Dao Hun Ming."

Wang Gu received the key to room number seven. The woman guided him upstairs.

The second floor was far quieter and more peaceful than the first, a privilege reserved for VIP participants.

"This is your room, Senior Dao Hun Ming."

The door opened to reveal a spacious room, with a wooden table, a teapot, and cups prepared inside. Wang Gu stepped forward toward the balcony overlooking the auction hall.

"I will stay in the room. You go to the balcony and act as my representative," Wang Gu said.

"For that service, you will need to pay at least 5,000 spirit stones, Senior Dao."

Wang Gu tapped his bag of holding again and tossed a small pouch to her. The woman was stunned. The auction had not even begun, yet Wang Gu had already spent 25,000 spirit stones on registration and service alone.

"I accept your payment, Senior Dao. I will not disappoint you," she said firmly.

Wang Gu said nothing. He sat down, poured himself some tea, while the female staff member stood on the balcony, ready to represent him in the auction.

This is just a small auction. No need to take it too seriously.

I’ll just buy what I need, then leave and prepare for the Seven Peaks of the Northern Mountains.
