Chapter 39 - 39: Day 039 Meal Time 1
The core ingredients needed to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill involve six types, ordinary materials are manageable.
But it is incredibly difficult to gather those six core materials.
The fiasco from the last Yunshan Auction House gathering was a major blow to Yunjian Sect’s reputation, and offering a little Foundation Establishment Pill materials this time might be an attempt to compensate or attract more attention.
This time, the auction took place without any unforeseen incidents.
Bloody Blade Daoist dare not show up at Yunshan Marketplace to provoke Yunjian Sect again.
Even after flaunting his arrogance at Eight Demon Ridge, Bloody Blade Daoist disappeared, daring not to show his face again.
In unexpected situations or from a distance, he might dare to show a little arrogance in front of Yunjian Sect. But if he were to directly confront Yunjian Sect, only a madman like Bloody Blade Daoist would do such a thing.
After all, Yunjian Sect is a major cultivating power with a Core Formation stage True Man at its helm.
The Bloody Blade Daoist is merely in the late Foundation Establishment Realm. He simply does not have what it takes to challenge Yunjian Sect.
A few days after the auction ended, a message from Su Zhi came from within the Yunjian Sect. Luo Qianyu, the personal disciple of the First Elder, had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Looking at Su Zhi’s letter, Su Yu was rather puzzled.
He had only met Luo Qianyu once. Why would Su Zhi specially send a letter to tell him about Luo Qianyu’s breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm? What was the meaning of this?
Shaking his head, he put the letter aside and continued his cultivation in the Pill Tower.
Carefully considering, it has been two years since he last broke through to the fifth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm. After two uninterrupted years of cultivation, supplemented by top-grade, perfect quality Qi Refining Pills,
The proficiency of his Green Wood Year Ring Skill had increased by 39.21%.
And his Alligator Demon 108 Body Refinement Realm techniques had just broken through the seventh layer a year ago, and proficiently increased from the original 44-7% to 57-49%.
To upgrade the Green Wood Year Ring Skill to the sixth rotation of the first ring, it would likely take another three to four years.
Meanwhile, the Alligator Demon 108 Body Refinement Realm techniques would require a similar amount of time.
Regarding his own cultivation, Su Yu did not show any signs of impatience.
As Green Wood Year Ring Skill continues to cultivate, his lifespan will keep increasing proportionally to his cultivation progress. For now, he only needs to focus on his cultivation and not worry about lifespan at all.
If lifespan is not an issue, and there are no bottlenecks in cultivation technique, only proficiency is needed to advance, What does he have to worry about?
Isn’t it better to cultivate earnestly and peacefully?
Outside, due to the influx of demonic cultivators and robbers from the outside into Yunjian Sect’s territory, the nearby cities and cultivating families around Yunshan Marketplace have stirred slightly, with a number of cultivating families seeming eager for change.
The conflicts and upheavals, much like what had happened previously between the Su Family and the Lin Family, and now currently happening between the Chen Family and Bai Family, have multiplied.
Especially as some cultivating families collude with external demonic cultivators and robbers. Incidents where entire cultivating families are obliterated that were once a rarity are now happening continuously.
A year later.
While Su Jingbang was delivering spiritual medicine to Yunshan Marketplace’s Pill Tower, he brought along some bad news.
“Not long ago, the Bai Family of Maple City launched a surprise attack on the Chen Family’s Purple Gold Sand Spiritual Mine. In addition to the two Foundation Establishment Realm ancestral elders from the Bai Family, there was also an ancestral elder from Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain, a total of three elders in the Foundation Establishment Realm took action.”
“The second-level spiritual mine guardian formation of the Chen Family was nearly breached by them, the founder of the Chen Family was seriously injured, and Qingyi lost an arm in the battle. The Chen Family lost more than a dozen cultivators, and several of our cultivators guarding the mine from the Su
Family were killed, suffering heavy losses.”
“Although the Bai Family has been repelled for now, they merely managed to hold onto the spirit mine. If this happens again… the Chen Family might not be able to withstand it.’
Su Jingbang shook his head, not optimistic about the Chen family’s ability to defend the Zijinsha Spirit Mine.
To this, Su Yu was not surprised.
Every resource spot in the cultivation world is a major trouble. The resources are limited; if you want to occupy a resource spot, you must be prepared to deal with major troubles.
The Zijinsha Spirit Mine owned by the Chen family is a case in point.
But what about the Huang family ot Guanlan Mountain! Why have they suddenly emerged? Su Yu had heard of this family, which is good at formations.
If all the cultivator families under Yunjian Sect were ranked, the Yu family of Heiyan Mountain could be ranked first or second, while the comparatively low-profile Jiang family, known for their puppet masters, are not weaker in influence and power than the Yu family.
The Huang family of Guanlan Mountain might rank third or be in the top five.
With the influence and power of the Huang Family, a mere Zijinsha Spirit Mine should not be something they covet, so why would they do such a thing that the heavens despise and people hate?
Su Yu expressed his doubts. Just as Su Jingbang was about to speak, Su Yun said, “Resources have been tight recently. Zijin sand is an important material for crafting formation flags. It’s no surprise that the Huang Family is involved.”
Su Jingbang said, “The head of our family intends to withdraw from the competition for the Zijinsha Spirit Mine, but… it might take some time.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had felt before that they should not intervene in the spirit mine matter.
Good that they are pulling out now!
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Four months later, there was a sudden turn in the matter of the Chen Family’s Zijinsha Spirit Mine. An elder at the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Bai family and a group from the Huang family at the same cultivation level encountered Blood Swordsman, and all of them were killed with a single blow.
The Bai family suffered heavy losses! Forced to retreat to Maple City, they were trembling in fear of being targeted by Blood Swordsman!
Because of this, the threat to the Chen family’s Zijin sandy Spirit Mine was temporarily eliminated, and the Su family head, Su Peng, also suspended his plans to withdraw from the competition for Zijin sandy Spirit Mine.
Upon hearing the news, Su Yu was stunned for a long time. Who could have predicted that the Bai and Huang families would be so unlucky? Su Yu muttered to himself, “It seems that the Chen family is still very lucky. If heaven wants to feed us, the Su family can’t refuse.” A month later.
A group of unexpected visitors arrived.
Yu Ke’er, an old woman, along with Chen Sisi and two elders from the Chen Family, a party of five people, came to the Su family’s Pill Pavilion in Yunshan Market.
“Brother Yu, this is the third elder of our Chen family, and this is the fourth elder,” Chen Sisi took the initiative to introduce, “This is my husband’s cousin, Su Yu, a top-tier first-stage alchemist.”
The two Elders from the Chen family looked at Su Yu with complex expressions when they heard Chen Sisi’s introduction.
They were both surprised and envious.
Why couldn’t their Chen family have such a young prodigy?
Seeing that Yu Ke’er and Chen Sisi had come together again, Su Yu was somewhat surprised and asked hesitantly, “What brings you all here…?”
Chen Sisi wanted to speak, but she was stopped by the third Elder of the Chen Family.
Because this was a matter concerning the Chen Family and Yu Ke’er, the third Miss from the Yu Family. Since Chen Sisi had married into the Su Family, it was not appropriate for her to speak at this time.
The third Elder of the Chen family said, “Young Master Su, here’s the situation. We found a group of Earth Rock Rat demons in the Zijinsha Spirit Mine, led by a second stage early phase rat king. We’ve heard of the reputation of your Su Family’s beast lure powder, which is known to have a unique effect on Earth Rock Rat demons. I would like to ask if there’s a lure powder effective against a second stage Earth Rock Rat king?”
Su Yu asked in surprise, “You want to hunt a second-stage early-phase Earth Rock Rat spirit beast?”
Yu Ke’er interjected, “Not to hunt, but to capture and tame..”
