Low-grade and mid-grade Magic Artifacts are suitable for Qi Refinement Realm, high- grade Magic Artifacts for the Foundation Establishment Realm, and superior-grade Magic Artifacts correspond to the Core Formation True Man level.
Although the Heaven Luo Umbrella is just a damaged superior-grade Magic Artifact, for a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, it is a priceless treasure.
A treasure that could lure Blood Saber Luo Bang of the dark path to risk invading Yunshan Market.
“The one who tried to snatch the Foundation Establishment Pill must be the ‘Ghost Head Golden Eagle’ of the robber cultivators, who cultivates gold attribute Mana. He’s extremely powerful and brutal,” Su Yun sighed in relief when Blood Saber Luo Bang fled the market.
He spoke of the one who had tried to snatch the Foundation Establishment Pill before.
With a solemn expression, Su Yun said, “But to my knowledge, ‘Ghost Head Golden Eagle’ usually operates near Bai Yue Immortal City and rarely appears around here.”
“There’s no reason for him to venture into unfamiliar territory for a Yunshan Trading auction.”
The bewildered Su Yun advised Su Yu to stay indoors more at that period.
The Foundation Establishment Pill, Su Yun did not plan to send it back to the Cang Mountain Family in River City.
Instead, he notified the family to select one person who wished to consume the Foundation Establishment Pill and try to break through, to come to Yunshan Market.
Relying on the Spiritual Energy from the core area of the second layer Spirit Vein of Yunshan Market, as well as defending during the Foundation Establishment Realm breakthrough trial.
In the following few days.
Before the family’s envoy could reach Yunshan Market, news of robber cultivators lurking and ambushing cultivators often came from outside Yunshan Market.
Quite a few robber cultivators seemed to have come near Yunshan Market, which made the merchants and cultivators in the market nervous.
Fortunately, not long after, several Foundation Establishment realm cultivators from the Yunjian Sect took action. Leading the disciples from both the outer and inner sect of Yunjian Sect patrolling around and suppressing the robber cultivators, they restored tranquility to the area around Yunshan Market.
But this didn’t concern Su Yu much.
Su Yun was focused on preparing for the family’s choice, wondering who would try to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he dared not to be careless at all.
After Su Yu returned, he took out the Earth Fire Ape Demonic Beast Egg which was slightly lacking in its innate capacity and took a look.
“To hatch it, besides letting it absorb the Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones on its own, you can also channel Mana to aid its growth and hatching.” Su Yu was somewhat hopeful, the bloodline of the Earth Fire Ape Demonic Beast was barely passable.
It was still suitable within the confines of the Yunjian Sect.
Although it couldn’t compare with the pet beast he had in his previous life’s cultivation game, which had a bloodline of Immortal Realm Great Demonic Beast.
But after all, it’s just an early stage
Or rather a newbie village stage.
If he could have an Earth Fire Ape Beast Taming, his days cultivating in the Alchemy Pavilion wouldn’t be so boring.
It would still be pretty impressive if he took it out.
However, on the prerequisite that he could control the explosive Earth Fire Ape.
He tried to channel his Mana into the one-foot diameter Demonic Beast Egg, this Demonic Beast Egg was entirely red like a massive ruby. However, this ruby’s surface was covered with vein-like patterns.
From it, he could feel the strong life’s air and the heat from the Earth Fire Ape’s bloodline.
When the Mana of Su Yu’s Green Wood Year Ring Skill was channeled into the Demonic Beast Egg, it trembled slightly. The next instant, a faint suction emanated from the Demonic Beast Egg.
It seemed to desire to absorb Su Yu’s Mana power.
Through the acute perception of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill towards life’s air, Su Yu was surprised to find that the unborn Earth Fire Ape was particularly greedy for his Mana. He could faintly sense its immature consciousness.
“I, I want… to drink.”
After channeling six tenths of his Mana, Su Yu stopped.
He would never exhaust all of his Mana, even when he was safe inside the Alchemy Pavilion.
Mana exhaustion would be very dangerous, at that time he could only rely on the Body Refinement Realm.
It would make him extremely insecure.
Sixty percent of the mana was consumed, leaving forty percent, a perfectly quantified ratio.
Su Yu sensed joy from the young consciousness within the Landfire Ape monster beast egg, and it began to chirp excitedly.
The heat radiating from the monster beast egg seemed to have intensified as well.
In the ensuing few days, Su Yu infused the Landfire Ape monster beast egg with his mana for hatching. To his amazement, the originally slightly weak Landfire Ape monster beast egg, which seemed to have a congenital deficiency, seemed to have regained its normal vitality.
It was even strengthening.
Seven days later.
The First Elder, Su Mengshan, and the Fifth Elder, Su Bin of the Su Family arrived in the Yunshan Market.
Su Yu initially thought that the ones taking the Foundation Establishment Pill would be the First Elder or the Family Head, but he did not expect it to be the Fifth Elder, Su Bin.
Moreover, Su Bin’s cultivation level wasn’t the Qi Refinement Realm’s seventh level as he displayed, but was actually the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was handed over to Su Bin, and the First Elder, Su Mengshan, accompanied Su Bin to rent a cave dwelling in the market’s central area.
Seeing Su Yu’s somewhat surprised expression, Su Yun said, “In the past, the fifth elder was our Su Family’s most gifted genius, who attained the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm before turning forty.”
“It was just a mishap later on and our family had great difficulty in collecting the Foundation Establishment pill, which thus affected his progression.”
“Letting elder five try to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm is the best choice.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu found that reasonable.
Family Head Su Peng, First Elder Su Mengshan, Second Elder Su Yun were all at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, but First Elder Su Mengshan was too old, already nearing one hundred years old.
Even if he practiced the Phoenix Tree Green Wood Technique, which could prolong life for twenty years, he was already in old age.
Taking the flawed Foundation Establishment Pill, the chances of successfully breaking through weren’t high.
Family Head Su Peng was just the right age, not yet sixty, still in his prime, but the family’s current environment was not good.
If he failed to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would surely suffer a great loss in vitality, which would affect the whole Su Family.
Therefore, Family Head Su Peng was not a suitable candidate for the time being.
As for Second Elder Su Yun—
Long-term Alchemy has left his personal combat strength relatively weak, even if Su Yun broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm, his contribution to the Su Family wouldn’t be as significant as Fifth Elder Su Bin.
The current Su Family needed a powerfully established Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!
While the Fifth Elder, Su Bin, went to the central area of the market to try to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Su Yu successfully hatched a Landfire Ape cub in the Dan Pavilion.
In order to do so, he’d also gone to the Book Pavilion to buy a Beast Taming Art and completed the recognition with the Landfire Ape cub.
Unlike the common Landfire Apes, after experiencing Su Yu’s Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the baptism of mana, the hatched Landfire Ape cub had a less ferocious temperament. Its adorable, tear-filled eyes were as clear as red rubies.
The occasional flicker of intelligence showed that this little guy wasn’t lacking in intelligence.
Just after breaking out from the monster beast egg, it stretched its big eyes and watched Su Yu, climbing towards Su Yu’s thigh, trying to crawl into Su Yu’s arms, chirping adorably.
Seeing the birth of the Landfire Ape cub, Su Yun gave a rare smile, clapped his hands in pleasure, and exclaimed, “A second-tier monster beast bloodline!”
“Cultivate it well. It will be your greatest help in the future!”
Similarly.
If it grows into a second-tier monster beast, it will also become the strongest guardian beast of the Su Family.
At least, that’s how Su Yun saw it.
In his joy, Su Yun tosses a first-tier inferior-quality Hundred Beast Pill to the Landfire Ape.
This pill was made primarily from the essences of various monster beasts, and is principally used as food and cultivation resources for the beast tamer’s tamed beast..
