He planned to let the Taoist puppet seek around next and see if there were such an opportunity.
If not, he could only attempt to create a third-tier lower quality talisman once more.
This was the only solution available.
Just like how he had once created a second-tier lower quality talisman before.
Time passed swiftly.
Over four years later.
The three-tiered cave dwelling of dual ice and fire at Sun Moon Island.
“Huu huu huu!”
The thick nature’s spiritual energy swirled, surging and boiling into the figure in the green robe sitting cross-legged at the center. The nature’s spiritual energy was so condensed, it formed a thin mist of spiritual energy around the figure’s body.
A robust and mighty aura emanated from him, filling the entire universe. Cerulean green and earthen-yellow radiance occupied half of the sky each.
Vaguely, an ethereal scene could be seen behind the figure in the green robe. A colossal greenwood tree stood erect between heaven and earth on a patch of thick soil.
As Su Yu circulated the Grand Circulation of the Earth-Wood Technique, countless nature’s spiritual energies poured into his body, converting them into green wood mana and dark mana. His aura rose in an indiscernible pace.
Until a particular moment.
“Boom!”
The green wood mana and dark mana inside Su Yu’s body seemed to have reached a certain limit. Naturally, his aura that was originally at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment Realm began to change and enhance. A heavy aura and rich vitality swept across.
At this moment, the heaven and earth seemed to tremble. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth vibrated, gathering at an even more terrifying speed.
It was as if an invisible force sucked in all the spiritual energy in the whole cave dwelling in an instant.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh.”
Behind Su Yu, the vibrant green radiance increased in strength. The moment his cultivation made a breakthrough, the towering greenwood tree seemed to rustle, and specks of green light sprinkled onto him.
With the fall of these green light specks, both Su Yu’s breath of green wood mana and a trace of the ancient, world-weary aura grew much stronger.
After more than half an hour.
“Huuh.”
Su Yu exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and a smile spread across his face when he sensed the strong mana breath in his Dantian. He clenched his fists lightly, took a brief breath, and nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, “I’ve reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm.”
He could sense a change in his mana.
Breaking through from the sixth level of Foundation Establishment Realm to the seventh level was merely a small step.
However, the quality of the two kinds of mana was completely different.
This was a ‘minor checkpoint’. After breaking through it, the quality and power of mana would improve slightly.
Besides this.
As his cultivation improved to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm, Su Yu felt his divine sense, divine soul also improved slightly. Previously, the pressure from his divine sense and divine soul felt like a mountain pressing down on his heart.
But now, he felt somewhat relieved.
His consciousness looked towards the proficiencies panel.
[Lifespan: 86/404 years.]
[Cultivation Techniques: Earth-Wood Technique (Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Level, Proficiency 0.01%), Golden Cicada Technique (Third Level, Proficiency 3.15%).]
“With a lifespan of four hundred years at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Seeing this data, Su Yu marveled in his heart. The more he cultivated the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the more he could feel its fearsome nature. The increase in lifespan was too terrifying.
He had never heard of anyone having a lifespan of four hundred years at the Foundation Establishment Realm level before!
Moreover, the faint aura of the passage of time on him was extremely profound.
To this day, he could not grasp or comprehend it at all.
Apart from that, the mana from the Green Wood Year Ring Skill was now stronger than that of other cultivation techniques.
“With my cultivation reaching the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm, the Ice-Fire Technique and Metal Heaven Sword Technique should also be close now.” Su Yu looked at the proficiency of the remaining two cultivation techniques. Both had reached more than ninety-eight percent.
In a maximum of half a month’s time, the mana of the remaining three spiritual roots would definitely reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
By that time, he could attempt to refine third-tier lower grade pills and see how to create new third-tier lower quality talisman.
He continued his closed-door cultivation.
Half a month later.
The Ice-Fire Technique and Metal Heaven Sword Technique smoothly advanced to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
Su Yu finished his closed-door cultivation.
Yun Mountain Market, Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Su Yu arrives here. While the old Yun Mountain Market was destroyed by the Fei Family of Fengluo Mansion, Heavenly Book Pavilion survived unaffected, thanks to the old man holding down the fort. After the market was rebuilt, the Pavilion still stood in its original location, looking exactly as it used to.
Entering the gate, the old man at the counter was engrossed in an ancient book.
Decades ago, during Su Yu’s first visit to Heavenly Book Pavilion, the old man looked just the same.
Looking at the shopkeeper now, Su Yu realized nothing about him had changed in all these decades.
It was as though he had achieved longevity.
Su Yu could only sense an air of extreme ordinarity from the old man’s presence, no different from any common elder. This feeling made Su Yu quietly affirm his suspicions.
The elder of Heavenly Book Pavilion indeed had formidable cultivation.
If he were an average Core Formation person, Su Yu would surely have sensed something.
But now
‘Could it be… has he reached the late stage of Core Formation, or even become a Nascent Soul True Monarch?’ Su Yu’s pupils shrank slightly.
Approaching the old man, he bowed. “Elder.”
“Hmm?” The old man looked up in confusion. Catching sight of Su Yu, a sharp light flashed across his eyes, his nose twitched slightly. Moments later, he trembled inwardly, ‘The scent of a second-order high-quality perfect quality pill, and not just one kind.’
After studying Su Yu for a moment, an amazed old man couldn’t help but say, “You might look insignificant, but in a quiet and silent way, you have achieved the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
After careful calculation, this shouldn’t be the cultivation speed of a common Spiritual Root
After a period of silence, an idea came to him, ‘Could it be because of the perfect quality pills?’
His face went through a series of change.
Resisting his curiosity, the old man looked at Su Yu and asked, “You’ve come to Heavenly Book Pavilion. Are you here to read?”
Feeling somewhat emotionally moved, Su Yu replied, “Junior wishes to find ancient books related to the lineage of the third-order Fu Master.”
Then he shamelessly looked at the old man and said, “Or, I’d take the lineage of a third-order Fu Master.”
The old man was speechless as he stared at Su Yu.
If his memory served him right, hadn’t he given this young man the lineage of a second-order top-quality Fu Master many years ago?
Had the boy gotten addicted to mooching and now wanted the lineage of a third-order Fu Master?
“You…. forget it.”
Shaking his head slightly, pondering for a moment, the old man waved his hand. Three ancient books from various places in the Heavenly Book Pavilion flew out and landed on his hand.
Then, he handed those books to Su Yu, looking perfectly calm and composed. “These three ancient books have recorded some of the lineage of the third-order Fu. Take your time reading them.”
While speaking, he waved at Su Yu.
Su Yu’s eyes lit up slightly. The old man, having presided over Heavenly Book Pavilion for many years, must have read countless books. With his recommendation, these three ancient books surely held something beneficial for him.
He quickly took out three middle-grade spirit stones and gave them to the old man, thanking him, “Thank you, elder.”
The old man looked at the three spirit stones, shaking his head slightly, picked up one of them, and said, “Just one will suffice.”
Su Yu didn’t argue and thanked him again, then left Heavenly Book Pavilion with the three ancient books.
The Yun Mountain Market, Su Alchemy Store.
Back to its original location.
After Luo Qianyu regained control of the Yunjian Sect, the Su family moved back to the Yun Mountain Market to set up the Alchemy Store.
The one in charge of the Alchemy Store was Su Ying. As someone who had once studied alchemy under Su Yu, Su Ying’s talent in alchemy was not particularly great. After many years, he only barely reached the level of a first-order high-level Alchemist.
Now in charge of the daily operation of the Alchemy Store in Yun Mountain Market.
After arriving here, Su Yu started researching the three ancient books in the secret chamber of the Alchemy Store.
“Guide to the Study of Heaven and Earth Fu” – Recorded by Daoist Zizai.
“Record of the Abnormal Events in the Yunwu Immortal Gate”.
“Legacy of Daoist Changyu of the Moonfall Alliance”.
He opened the first book, which began with records of the source of Fu’s power, analysing the root of Fu from a deep level. As Su Yu read on, it discussed the profound secrets between the natural power of Heaven and Earth and Fu.
Su Yu frowned, and unconsciously began to evoke the Jinchan Method. As his mind became emptier, the obscure text seemed to come alive instantly.
Various insights rapidly flashed across his mind, and Su Yu’s furrowed brows gradually smoothed out, eventually revealing a hint of delight.
“So that’s how it is,” Su Yu mumbled to himself.
Having read through it once, Su Yu started reading it again. Though this book did not have specific knowledge about third-order Fu, it broadened Su Yu’s horizons and brought him new insights.
All the natural forces of Heaven and Earth could become Fu, create, transform, and carry the power of Fu.
Half a month later, Su Yu finally set down the book and picked up the second one to read, and then the third one.
