After a long while, Su Yu finally let out a sigh of relief: “No one followed.”
Immediately after, Su Yu knitted his brows, “Who was the one who just
attacked me?” He had been to Baibao Mountain before, meeting only the second-tier high-grade Array Master and the Paper Kite Fairy who had previously visited him. He had only met these two, all the others were just heard of.
Luckily, he was watchful and focused mainly on cultivating techniques of the wood element, making him particularly sensitive to everything in the dense forest. With the augment of the Golden Cicada Technique, he sensed something was amiss and initiated a diversion.
Assisted with the second-tier middle-grade Restraint and Invisibility Talismans among other measures, it was truly unexpected.
Eventually, he barely managed to kill his attacker with an excellent Dragon Slaying Talisman.
It wasn’t easy.
Taoist Hongyue was left puzzled: ‘This hardly qualifies as a tough battle?’
“Phew.” After exhaling a breath, Su Yu took out all the items he had just gathered.
An excellent magic sword of mediocre quality, most likely only worth one to two thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Three peak middle-grade magic artifacts, items that Su Yu had long since rid himself of.
That guy being at the fifth-level of the Foundation Establishment Realm was still using peak middle-grade magic artifacts. How embarrassing, he must be poor.
There was also a set of eighteen special talismans forming a talisman array. Although this array carried some weight, being non-disposable, it’s power was frankly rather weak, only equivalent to a second-tier lower-grade formation.
Lastly, there was a Qiankun Bag.
Su Yu nullified Taoist Hongyue’s divine sense imprint, opened the Qiankun Bag revealing a pile of odds and ends. Suddenly, Su Yu noticed an article of clothing that felt familiar.
After some thought, he suddenly cursed under his breath: “Isn’t this the outfit that the Paper Kite Fairy was wearing?!?!”
What the hell.
Were these two having an affair? But whatever their relationship, what’s with the clothing!
Su Yu immediately destroyed it. What a sight for sore eyes.
Next, he found the Baibao Mountain dwelling token among the pile of stuff in the Qiankun Bag. After seeing piles of talismans and materials, Su Yu’s pupils contracted, his expression cooled: “Is it Taoist Hongyue from Baibao Mountain, the second-tier mid-grade Talisman Master? Did he want to make a move against me?”
Su Yu knitted his brows, was Baibao Mountain a nest of thieves?
He searched further and found several jade slips, containing the cultivation techniques used by Taoist Hongyue and a second-tier superior-grade Talisman Master heritage.
This Talisman Master heritage was slightly different from what Su Yu cultivated, leaning more towards talismanic formations.
Upon obtaining the heritage, Su Yu’s eyes brightened: “What a treasure.” With this, the talismans he used this time weren’t a waste.
Next door, Baibao Mountain.
“Whoosh!” An anxious figure hurried back from outside, it was none other than the mid-grade Alchemist of the second-tier, Shi Hai Pill Master.
At this moment, the color on Shi Hai Pill Master’s face constantly changed. Upon returning to his dwelling, he found Paper Kite Fairy cultivating a spirit plant. His tone was somewhat panicked when he said: “Taoist Hongyue is dead! It seemed that he wanted to make a move on Su Yu, but not even ten breaths after he made his move, the battle has already ended, and Su Yu unscathed returned back to his dwelling. As for Taoist Hongyue, he was completely destroyed!”
Paper Kite Fairy’s complexion drastically changed upon hearing this, her pupils dilated, “Hongyue is dead? He was at the fifth level of Foundation
Establishment Realm and also a second-tier mid-grade Talisman Master, how could this happen?”
Shi Hai Pill Master took several deep breaths, his heart trembling with fear, “There must be something that we don’t know about Su Yu. There’s something complicated about him. Otherwise, how could a second layer Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner kill Hongyue?”
“Thank god, thank god we didn’t make a move.”
The voice of Shi Hai Pill Master was filled with shock and fear. Both he and his Dao companion, Paper Kite Fairy was not good at fighting, so they roped in the more powerful Taoist Hongyue.
But now, Taoist Hongyue was completely obliterated after taking matters into his own hands!
How could this not scare him?
“That’s right.” Shi Hai Pill Master continued, the sound of his voice trembling slightly, “Earlier, I took a look at the area where Taoist Hongyue died, there’s a mountain that was cleaved in half. Everyone says that this level of power would require at least be a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner. Taoist Hongyue messed with the wrong person!”
“Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm!?”
Paper Kite Fairy’s face changed constantly, her expression showing complete disbelief.
However, after she recovered from her shock, her gaze flickered a few times. Looking towards the direction of Su Yu’s dwelling, a strange look appeared in her eyes.
“Being able to kill Hongyue, he…” Paper Kite Fairy had a thought to delve deeper into Su Yu’s secrets. This man wasn’t as weak as she thought? Such a thought couldn’t help but arouse her curiosity towards Su Yu.
Compared to Shi Hai Pill Master, who was scared white next to her, this comparison gave rise to a tinge of disgust deep in the eyes of Paper Kite Fairy.
Time flew by.
One month prior to the start of the big Moon Black Market Auction, the Taoist Xiuyu of Tianxu Temple came again. This time he brought a list of auction items for the Big Moon Black Market Auction, priced at one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Paying for the item list, Su Yu mumbled as he watched the retreating figure of Taoist Xiuyu, “Tianxu Temple sure knows how to make easy money.” A hundred spirit stones for one item list, how extortionate!
However, Su Yu did need this item list after all. He wanted to see what treasures the upcoming auction would have, and if any of them suited his needs.
Leafing through the list with Yu Ke’er, the items at the front were all ordinary items being auctioned.
Flipping further back, Su Yu’s pupils suddenly dilated as he stared at an auction item listed.
A living Eight-Armed Praying Mantis Beast of the second-tier superior grade!
“Hiss….”
