It’s better to use them now to deal with the Ground Rock Rats in the beast tide which would make up for the favor he owed to Taoist Xiuyu for arranging his accommodation in the Inner Market.
After some contemplation, Yu Baihe nodded and said, “You’re right to give it to the Sky Temple. Currently, only powerful entities like the Sky Temple have the qualifications to mobilize resources from all sides and refine various kinds of pills, talismans, and other items.”
When Yu Baihe left, Su Yu gave him twenty Grade 2 lower-tier attack and defense talismans as protection.
If he ever encounters a situation where demonic beasts breach the defensive formation lines, these talismans might be able to create a bloody path for him to escape within the shortest time.
After Yu Baihe had left, Su Yu found Taoist Xiuyu, who was at the Grand Moon Black Market, and gave him the formula for the beast-enticing powder.
Upon hearing the effects of the beast-enticing powder, Taoist Xiuyu pondered and said, “If it can really deal with the Ground Rock Rats, it would indeed relieve some defensive pressure. I’ll handle this.”
Taoist Xiuyu left in haste afterward. He didn’t have much time to stay in the Grand Moon Black Market as he had to leave again tomorrow.
He had to get the production of this beast-enticing powder arranged tonight.
Under the cover of night, Su Yu looked in the direction of Grand Moon Mountain, an ancient map Su Zhi had obtained appearing in his mind.
In the ancient era, Grand Moon Mountain should have been where the central island of Luoyue Lake was located.
This central island, according to the lineage left by Taoist Bing Yu, seemed to be home to a cultivation force called the Luoyue Alliance, a coalition of various forces around Luoyue Lake.
There were no particularly dangerous places on the entire island.
In front of a large group of True Monarchs in the Nascent Soul Realm, even potential experts beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, what demonic beast or Demon Clan would dare to make a fuss?
Thinking about this, Su Yu’s thoughts turned to the Grand Moon Palace. He quietly thought to himself, “The Grand Moon Palace also has a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm, but he hasn’t taken any action to deal with the Demon Clan threat in Grand Moon Mountain.”
“Is it because the strength of this Demon Clan is not weak and they are difficult to deal with? Or, are they deliberately being left alone?”
If they are being left alone on purpose, this could make sense.
After all, for the people of Grand Moon Prefecture, the demonic beasts in Grand Moon Mountain are a precious cultivation resource.
Take this large beast tide in Grand Moon Mountain, for instance. Although it’s a dangerous event, it’s also a great opportunity that only comes once every hundred years.
A single beast tide allows cultivators from various cultivation factions and families under the command of Grand Moon Prefecture to gain experience, while also supplying a large number of cultivation resources.
There’s nothing bad about this.
Where there is danger, there is opportunity.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu shook his head to suppress these thoughts, returned to his room, and prepared to continue drawing talismans. He would draw Grade 2 mid-tier talismans at night to fulfill the needs of the Sky Temple, and during the day, besides his regular cultivation, he would attempt to draw Grade 2 top-tier talismans. This was Su Yu’s plan moving forward.
As for the others, Su Zhi came here with him. With no one from Yunjian Sect interrupting, Su Zhi continued her closed-door cultivation after arriving here.
She had gained many benefits in the Phoenix Palace, and now, her main task was to assimilate these opportunities through closed-door cultivation. If she could avoid meddling in other miscellaneous affairs, then it would certainly be better not to meddle.
Enjoying the rare peace, it would be much better for Su Zhi to steadily cultivate behind closed doors rather than bravely facing the beast tide.
On the third day, Su Yu was in an excellent state and finally managed to finish the first Grade 2 top-tier talisman, the Wood Spirit Devouring God Talisman.
As the talisman absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it took more than quarter of an hour for the fluctuations to subside, transforming into a green palm-sized talisman that resembled jade.
Surrounding the courtyard, cultivators from various influential powerhouses began to emerge from their rooms, looking towards Su Yu’s courtyard, curiosity and uncertainty written on their faces.
“What was that ruckus? That fluctuation in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it seems like a Grade 2 high-tier treasure is taking form.”
“Could it be a Grade 2 top-tier talisman? If it was a pill, the fluctuations in the spiritual energy would be stronger and longer lasting. For other magic artifacts, array flags, puppet beasts, the fluctuations would be different.”
“Who’s living in that courtyard? When did a Grade 2 top-tier talisman master arrive?”
The cultivators belonging to major powerhouses all spoke in hushed tones.
Having a Grade 2 top-tier talisman master was worth trying to befriend. Even if he belonged to another powerhouse, it was best to get along well with him, and at the very least, not to offend him.
The same was true for other Grade 2 top-tier professions such as alchemists, artifact refiners, and array masters.
At this level, those with parallel professions are sometimes held in higher regard than cultivators of the same realm for the simple reason that they are fewer in number. It’s inevitable that one might need their help in the future.
In the secret room.
Su Yu quietly watched as the Grade 2 top-tier Wood Spirit Devouring God Talisman absorbed the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and slowly took form. While the fluctuations from the talisman’s energy could be hidden by the secret room’s array, the drastic changes in the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth were difficult to suppress.
Especially in an environment where the spiritual energy was strictly second-tier, a Grade 2 top-tier talisman would take a long time to absorb enough spiritual energy to form.
Unless it was within a third-tier spirit vein.
In comparison, the spiritual energy here was sufficient for a Grade 2 mid-tier talisman.
The formation of a Grade 2 mid-tier talisman did not cause such dramatic changes in spiritual energy.
Upon seeing the Wood Spirit Devouring God Talisman take form, Su Yu picked it up and quietly sensed the slightly pulsating, wood spirit-like energy in it. A smile spread across his face as he thought, “With this, as long as I keep a good stock, anyone who wants to deal with me in the future will have to think twice, other than those in the Core Formation Realm..”
