Soon after, Fairy Zhiyan took her leave.
Only after she had left the cave dwelling did Su Yu turn to Yu Ke’er and say, “Not everything she said was true. The look in her eyes when she watches us is a bit off, as if….” Ever since he started practicing the Jinchong Technique, his perceptiveness had always been sharp.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Yu’s tone grew colder as he said, “As if she is watching her prey.”
After leaving Su Yu’s cave dwelling, Fairy Zhiyan returned to the Mountain of Many Treasures.
As soon as she arrived, her cultivation partner, the second-tier middle-rank alchemist, Pill Master Shi Hai’ , asked her impatiently, “How did it go? Have they accepted the offer?”
Another second-tier middle-rank talisman maker, ‘Taoist Hongyu€ from the Mountain of Many Treasures, looked at Fairy Zhiyan, his eyes gleaming with intent.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of avarice for Fairy Zhiyan.
While Fairy Zhiyan’s appearance was not breathtakingly stunning, it was far from plain.
Coupled with her inherent aura of being a spirit plant cultivator, along with the charm of a married woman, many from the Mountain of Many Treasures harbored ill intentions towards her.
Fairy Zhiyan frowned and said, “No, despite openly inviting them to join us in the hunt for the ‘Mystic Immortal Vine,’ they declined.”
Upon hearing this, the face of Pill Master Shi Hai changed. Grinding his teeth, he said, “They’re overly cautious. These two are juicy opportunities. They haven’t had any income during these times, yet they are frequently seen making purchases in the black market, even collecting some Core Formation materials.”
“Now, they are not even interested in the ‘Mystic Immortal Vine’, it seems they’re sitting on quite the amount of resources.”
There was a subtle shift in Taoist Hongyue’s expression. These two victims were their carefully selected targets.
Now their targets had refused to come, disrupting their plans.
Fairy Zhiyan furrowed her brows, and after a moment said, “No worries, if they still refuse to come along after ten days, we’ll think of another way.”
A few days later.
Su Yu’s cave dwelling.
Su Yu was entertaining a guest that he had invited over not long ago, Taoist
Xiuyu from Heavenly Ruins Hall. Having lived many years in the Great Moon Black Market, Su Yu knew that the role of Heavenly Ruins Hall in the black market was essentially that of an information broker.
They would stop at nothing to collect information.
Similarly, dealing with such people does not require beating around the bush.
Su Yu said, “Brother Taoist, I’d like to know the purpose behind Fairy Zhiyan of the Mountain of Many Treasures inviting us to join them in the Great Moon
Range.”
Upon hearing this, Taoist Xiuyu chuckled, saying, “I knew you would ask this— five hundred lower-grade spirit stones.”
Su Yu handed them over without hesitation.
Accepting the spirit stones, Taoist Xiuyu said, “My friend, you are an alchemist who has been collecting quite a few alchemical ingredients recently, including a few for core formation. While it may not be a lot, it’s enough to attract the hungry wolves in the black market.”
“Especially given that you are only at the second level of Foundation Establishment Realm—ah, congratulations on your breakthrough to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.’
“However, even at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you are still not considered as anything special in the Great Moon Black Market.”
“Those people would dare to lay siege to big factions’ trades for a thousand spirit stones.”
“It’s lucky that you have been cultivating in seclusion for many years, or else, hehe.”
“There’s a reason why it’s called the black market, and not a regular market.”
“So, be careful.’
“These five hundred lower-grade spirit stones were well spent.”
Soon after, Taoist Xiuyu left.
He did not mention the purpose of Fairy Zhiyan directly, but he had already said everything.
Su Yu’s expression darkened as he watched Taoist Xiuyu’s retreating figure, originally pondering the information he just received. However, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, “After giving me this piece of information, wouldn’t he turn around and go to the Mountain of Many Treasures to sell the news that I am aware of this matter?”
Thinking of the integrity of information brokers, Su Yu cursed inwardly. He was a hundred percent sure that Taoist Xiuyu was now on the Mountain of Many Treasures.
Also, he felt that the Great Moon Black Market was indeed ‘unruly’. Over the years, he had only collected some materials for his alchemical practices on the surface, including a few for Core Formation.
They’ve already targeted him for that?
What if others found out that he spent over twenty thousand lower-grade spirit stones collecting materials for puppet beasts?
Wouldn’t his cave dwelling have been trampled to ruins by those people?
“I need to arrange for the second-tier upper-grade Mountain Protection Array as soon as possible.” Su Yu’s eyes turned into focus.
As for Fairy Zhiyan from the Mountain of Many Treasures next door— A chill spread across Su Yu’s eyes.
He wasn’t afraid even if the group from the Mountain of Many Treasures had any malicious intent towards him. His Puppet Dao Body had returned from the Eight Demon Mountain Market, he had many means at his disposal, and even had five second-tier middle-rank tamed beasts in his cave dwelling.
He wouldn’t even fear if a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator were to attack.
As for the situation on the Mountain of Many Treasures, Su Yu was not aware.
But he knew he might have attracted a lot of attention. He promptly warned Yu Ke’er, Yu Qianqing, Su Rui’an and others not to leave the cave dwelling, while he himself went back into closed-door cultivation to fully complete the second-tier middle-rank puppet beast ‘Winged Lightning Serpent’.
Two months later.
In a secret room.
Su Yu concentrated his breath and focus, using a high-quality talisman brush to condense his mana power and spiritual energy in his hand. He meticulously engraves on a piece of premium-quality paper on the jade table. More than two hours later, a wave of nature’s spiritual energy vibrates and pours into the talisman on the table.
This premium-quality, second-tier middle-rank Dragon Slayer Talisman was successfully drawn.
Feeling the sharp aura emanating from this premium Dragon Slayer Talisman,
Su Yu was exhilarated, “This is an amazing item.”
“If used properly, it could potentially directly slay a cultivator at the sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Let’s continue.”
He then sat cross-legged to restore his mana and spiritual energy. A day later, once he had fully recovered, he tried to draw another premium Dragon Slayer Talisman.
Half a month passed by.
Su Yu has spent fifteen sets of premium-quality materials to produce three more premium Dragon Slayer Talismans.
Then, Su Yu glanced at the Qiankun Bag. Inside were the savings he had accumulated over the past few years.
Over a hundred and sixty lower-tier second-grade talismans and sixty-seven middle-tier second-grade talismans, including six regular Dragon Slayer Talismans and four premium Dragon Slayer Talismans.
Three lower-grade second-tier puppet beasts, which weren’t Dragon Alligator puppet beasts, but other types.
A middle-tier second-grade puppet beast, the ‘Winged Lightning Serpent’
“I have one premium-quality Foundation Establishment Pill and one regular one.” Su Yu murmured to himself. He had previously saved three Foundation Establishment Pills for his family and kept three as reserves. He had used one on Yu Qianqing.
Over the years, Su Rui’an’s cultivation level had reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and he had also become a top-tier first-grade alchemist.
When Su Rui’an reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement, Su Yu planned to give him a premium-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.
Apart from this.
The Puppet Dao Body had earned over seventy thousand lower-level spirit stones in the Eight Demon Mountain Market during the last seven years. Taking into account the three thousand four hundred remaining spirit stones that Su Yu had previously, and the amount he had spent, he still had about ten thousand left.
He now possessed a total of eighty thousand lower-grade spirit stones in his possession!
Su Yu rubbed his head, pondering, “Would a Core Formation cultivator tear me apart tonight if they found out?”
