Although it was done as a favor, by completely eliminating the threat of the Bai Family’s ancestor, Su Yu felt he was still in gain.
Then, Su Yu replied to show gratitude to Taoist Friend Luo for extending his hand and removing the latent problem for the Su Family.
“With the death of Old Ancestor of the Bai Family, I can finally dispose of the items in my possession,” Su Yu pondered in his mind. Aside from the high-quality Magic Artifact, the Golden Luo Umbrella, he could sell the rest.
So it was.
In the subsequent six months, Su Yu repeatedly ventured out stealthily, selling Bai family’s artifacts and a second-tier, inferior-grade Puppet Beast whose appearance was altered, at the shops in the Outer Market.
Ultimately, he accumulated more than thirty-five thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.
Upon completing this task, Su Yu once again committed himself to cultivating in his cave, comprehending the fusion of his earth and wood dual attribute Cultivation Techniques.
In his regular practice, he also covertly collected all kinds of necessary materials from the Grand Moon Black Market, including the materials for the second-tier intermediate-grade Puppet Beast, the ‘Twin-Winged Thunder Snake.’
This Puppet Beast required rare materials, and with its central material being quite extensive, it would probably take a few years to gather everything.
The raw materials themselves were worth at least 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones.
Time passed like a white pony’s shadow across a crevice; swift like a shuttle.
Inside a secret room in a cave dwelling in the Grand Moon Black Market, Su Yu was making repeated attempts to combine the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and Xuan Ming Thick Earth Technique into the Earth Wood Technique. Starting with the absorption technique of the Qi Refinement Realm, each failure shook his mana, causing his internal energy to go haywire.
But this was just the fusion of the Qi Refinement Realm’s first layer technique, which he could still handle.
Half a month later, Su Yu burst into laughter. “I’ve succeeded.”
Another month passed, Su Yu coughed, his face somewhat pale, but his eyes were filled with excitement. “The Qi Refinement technique of the second layer has also been integrated.”
Three months..
Half a year..
One year later, after countless mana conflicts that left him coughing up blood, Su Yu finally integrated the techniques for the Qi Refinement Realm’s sixth layer from the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and Xuan Ming Thick Earth
Technique into the Earth Wood Technique, his face becoming paler by the day.
“My idea was correct, this Earth Wood Technique is nothing but a fundamental framework. If I want a dual-attribute Cultivation Technique suitable for me, then I must combine and create it through my own comprehension.” Su Yu internally remarked, although this method was a bit strenuous.
Five years later..
Inside his cave dwelling..
Su Yu handed a top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill to Yu Qianqing, smiling. “Go ahead, relax, and with the best state of mind, attempt a breakthrough. Your foundation is very solid and your vitality is already at its peak. There’s no need to worry.”
“Hmm, Pavilion Master, don’t worry, I will succeed.” Yu Qianqing looked deeply into Su Yu’s eyes, accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, took a deep breath, and left to continue her closed-door cultivation.
Yu Qianqing had previously failed an attempt at a breakthrough long ago.
Therefore, she had some apprehensions about breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After entering the secret chamber, Yu Qianqing looked at the excellent-quality Foundation Establishment Pill in her hand and mentally prepared herself. “If I fail again… then, I’ll leave.”
She wasn’t young anymore, already past fifty.
If she failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm twice in a row, her lifespan might not even reach a hundred. Even with the use of longevity pills and nourishing pills, it wouldn’t be long before her body would quickly age.
Rather than that, it would be better to leave early with no regrets.
She was lost in thought for a moment..
Yu Qianqing started her meditation and it wasn’t until half a month later that she firmly decided to consume the Foundation Establishment Pill and attempt a breakthrough with her peak state.
Outside..
Su Yu and Ke’er were both acting as her protectors. Ke’er would occasionally glance at the direction of the secret room. Even with the aid of the excellent-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, she could not help but feel worried about Yu Qianqing.
“Will Qianqing succeed? She must, right?” Ke’er was quite anxious.
Seeing the situation, Su Yu shook his head slightly, changing the topic. “Both the Double-Headed blood eagle and Heavenly Green Python have broken through to the intermediate-tier of rank two, right? When are you planning to enter the Grand Moon Ridge to search for rank two beasts?”
Ke’er had reached the second tier of the Foundation Establishment Realm four years ago and had been progressing fairly well.
More than half a year ago, her Double-Headed Blood Eagle and Heavenly Green Python had both made a breakthrough, reaching the second tier of the intermediate rank.
This progress was only slightly slower than the Black Scaled Hawk and Earth Fire Ape.
Ke’er remained largely unchanged in appearance, still resembling when Su Yu first met her, except over the years, she had gradually developed a mature and charming aura.
She was becoming more like her mother, Luo Qingya not just in appearance but also in demeanor.
Ke’er looked at Su Yu and said, “The Heavenly Empty Hall knows the whereabouts of a rank two Cloud Tiger with quite good bloodline. Once Qianqing successfully breaks through, I’ll go and try to find it.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu replied, “Tell me the location, and I’ll capture it for you. There’s no need for you to take unnecessary risks.” Ke’er chuckled, looking like a blossoming blue rose. She seemed to be back to her teens.
Looking at Su Yu, she teasingly replied, “I’m not venturing deep into the Grand
Moon Ridge, don’t be such a worrywart.”
Su Yu firmly nodded, “Your breakthrough to a second-tier Beast Tamer is essential, so capturing a second-tier beast is necessary. As for taking risks? There’s absolutely no need.”
“Power is the foundation, and who cares how you enhance it? When you become a third-tier Beast Tamer, you’ll look back on this day and realize just how insignificant a normal second-tier beast is.”
“Any accident would lead to regret.”
Listening to Su Yu’s long-winded explanation, Ke’er obediently nodded in agreement and smiled, “I’ll listen to you.. But if neither of us goes, then who’s going to capture it?”
