However, Lan Xi and Lan Gong, who were still at the 9th level of Qi Refinement realm, did not dare to act arrogant in front of Yu Qianqing.
Lan Xi and Lan Gong hurried forward, greeting her with noticeable anxiety,
“Lan Xi and Lan Gong greet Elder Yu.”
Yu Qianqing brought the two to the area of a certain family below, even called for Yu Ke’er, and took the two to a side hall of a palace to entertain them.
Although both Lan Xi and Lan Gong were only cultivators at the 9th level of the Qi Refinement realm, since they had been neighbors for many years, neither Yu Qianqing nor Yu Ke’er looked down on them, but treated them like regular guests.
After serving tea, Yu Ke’er, clearly on her best behavior, invited the two sisters, Lan Xi and Lan Gong, to sit down.
Yu Ke’er looked at the two with some curiosity and said, “What brings the two of you to Dan Mountain?”
Lan Xi looked at Yu Ke’er and slightly parted her lips to say, “We have come to pledge allegiance to Elder Su Yu. Of course, we don’t mind pledging to the Su Family, as long as they accept us.”
Yu Ke’er expressed surprise, “Weren’t you two doing well in the Fairy City of Bai Yue? Why…”
Lan Xi and Lan Gong whispered, “Recently, Bai Yue Fairy City has been chaotic.
Elder Tianpu of Spirit Temple has returned from the ruins of the Golden Jade
Fairy Gate, and there was quite a clash between him and the Hall Master. Many from Spirit Temple and True Temple have even fought.”
“There’s little business left in Drunken Fairy Tower, and we have nowhere else to go.”
“And so, we thought we’d come to Dan Mountain to see if Elder Su Yu could take us in.”
While saying this, Lan Xi also mentioned, “Although we function as musicians, the role of first-tier upper-level musicians shouldn’t be underestimated. Most people don’t realize this.”
Musicians carry a wide range of skills. Some are experts in battle, bringing significant power, capable of killing a thousand heads with just one tune. While others are more supportive, able to cleanse the mind of Evil Qi, dispel internal demons, and boost morale, among other things.
In the world of cultivation, many have the habit of listening to these musical performances.
Places like the Drunken Fairy Tower play music, not merely for the women performers, but also for the musicians’ skills.
Yu Ke’er had some understanding of musicians, but it was not very deep.
But, this was the Su Family. Even though she had followed Su Yu, she couldn’t step over the line and make the decision to have the Su Family keep Lan Xi and Lan Gong.
So, after giving it thought, Yu Ke’er introduced Lan Xi and Lan Gong to Su Peng, the head of the Su Family.
Upon seeing Lan Xi and Lan Gong, Su Peng immediately clapped his hands and decided to let them stay, entrusting them to the care of Yu Ke’er.
They would serve well in meeting the daily needs of the three Su Family ancestors.
The weight of two Qi Refinement Realm Level 9 cultivators as monthly offerings was nothing for the current Su Family.
Su Yu did not retreat for a full six months, returning from his secret chamber in five.
Seeing the warm sunlight filtering through the formations and palaces and landing on his body, Su Yu let out a slow breath, enjoying the warm sensation. It felt very comfortable.
After massaging his sore wrists, Su Yu sent his Divine Sense into the Qiankun
Bag and, seeing the thick layers of talismans, felt satisfied and murmured, “There are 191 second-class lower-grade talismans and 87 second-class middle-grade ones.”
If outsiders knew of these numbers, they would be shocked.
And this doesn’t even account for Su Yu’s existing stock.
Even the combined might of the Jiang and Huang Families would avoid this collection of talismans and retreat in fear.
After all, how many cultivators could take on this onslaught?
As for the Formations and Puppet Beasts of the two families Each of these things has its uses and mysteries.
They wouldn’t dare to risk ending in mutual destruction or total annihilation.
It’s just that-
Su Yu didn’t plan to keep all these talismans. He planned to take about half of them to be auctioned off in the Big Moon Black Market – 100 second-grade lower-level talismans and 50 second-grade middle-level ones.
Both converted into mid-grade Spirit Stones, these talismans should cause some powers to be tempted into an exchange.
As for placing all the talismans up for auction? That would be too many, flooding the market can affect prices adversely.
Half the quantity would be more suitable.
“It should yield 600 to 700 mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
Su Yu considered, “With this money, I’ll have a better base to work with during the auction.”
The auxiliary materials for the Haotian pill were not cheap!
The puppet of his Dao Body already reached the second-class superior Puppet Beast, equivalent to the strength of a seventh level Foundation Establishment realm, he needed to continue collecting second-class superior materials to improve.
And there were also the materials for the second-class superior top-notch Puppet Beast, the Eight-Armed Blade Mantis, which cost money.
He may continue to practice water-attribute and gold-attribute cultivation techniques next.
If he were to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Roots together, the resources he would need for daily cultivation would be astronomical.
This thought haunted him as well.
Then, 600 to 700 mid-grade Spirit Stones, might not be enough.
Upon consideration, he still had a ‘Double Winged Thunder Snake’ at the second-grade middle level. It is currently not very useful.
This thing, if auctioned off, should be able to exchange for a few hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, right?
The material cost of the Double Winged Thunder Snake was more than ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
If it could be auctioned off for 500 mid-grade Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t be a loss.
“Forget it, the materials for a second-grade middle-level Puppet Beast aren’t easy to collect. It’s better to take the two second-grade lower-level Puppet
Beasts from the family and replace this Double Winged Thunder Snake Puppet Beast.” After pondering for a long time, Su Yu ultimately shook his head and sighed, and he thought to himself, “As for the two second-grade lower-level Puppet Beasts, I’ll look for an opportunity to sell them in the auction..”
