The Fire Ape cub seems to be undergoing a slight metamorphosis under the nourishment of mana from the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, its temperament becoming less violent, and its intelligence greatly enhanced.
This metamorphosis surprised and pleased both Su Yu and the Second Elder,
Su Yun.
If the Fire Ape can be controlled, then it would undoubtedly be an excellent tier two bloodline monster beast. Its frenzied power won’t disappoint.
Backyard.
Whether Su Yu is refining pills or cultivating, the Fire Ape cub would follow him closely, absorbing the mana emanating from him as well as the spiritual energy of nature that gathered around him.
With an alchemist like Su Yu, who’s capable of refining a medium-grade Tier 1 spirit-patterned pill, the Fire Ape cub doesn’t lack nourishment.
As long as the Fire Ape cub could withstand it, the perfect grade Hundred Beast Pills could serve as its meals.
Under these conditions, the Fire Ape cub’s growth speed was almost double the normal rate.
Half-a-month after the Fifth Elder, Su Bin, secluded himself for cultivation, a subtle fluctuation of nature’s spiritual energy emanated from the core area in Yunshan Market. All the cultivators who sensed this fluctuation turned their heads towards it, stirring up a wave of discussions.
“It’s coming from the core cave dwelling at Yunshan!”
“This fluctuation, it must be someone who successfully broke through to the
Foundation Establishment Realm. I heard that two Foundation Establishment Pills appeared at the auction before. Someone must have successfully broken through with them!”
“Who could that be? Foundation Establishment Realm, damn it, I, Old Hu, have been stuck at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement for a full twenty years, and I still can’t see any hope of a breakthrough!”
“I heard one of the two Foundation Establishment Pills was bought by someone named Su at the price of five thousand and two hundred lower grade spirit stones. The second one was bought by the Yu Family for five thousand and eight hundred lower grade spirit stones. The members of the Yu Family have already left, this must be that person from the Su Family.”
“Over five thousand lower grade spirit stones, hiss, I might not be able to earn so much even if I spend my entire life in the market!”
Many people in the market chatted about it, most of them full of envy and jealousy.
It had been a long time since a Foundation Establishment Pill appeared in Yunshan Market.
For the average person, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm is extremely difficult.
Perhaps if one went to larger markets and cities like Bai Yue Xian City, there would be more opportunities.
Su Family Pill Store.
Su Mengshan and Su Bin returned from the core area. Seeing the drastic change in Su Bin’s aura, which had become extremely terrifying, Su Yun, Su Yu, and the rest of the Su Family were exhilarated.
This is the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Their Su Family was just short of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Otherwise, with the first-grade spirit vein and other foundations accumulating in their Su Family like the beast enticing powder, they might end up harming the Su family instead.
This is because without the power to guard such wealth, it would be a disaster.
“You go back first, bro. I’m going to seclude myself for a bit longer.”
“When I get back, everything will end and get better.”
Su Bin’s tone was very calm.
But in the eyes of Su Mengshan, Su Yun, and even Su Yu, and other members of the Su Family, there flickered a touch of coldness and killing intent. They sneered.
They had said before, their Su Family possessed the first tier spirit vein, had favorable geographical and spatial advantages, and time was on their side.
It’s not that their power was weaker than the Lin Family, but they didn’t want to deal with that rabid dog.
When their Su Family had converted their time and spatial advantages into power, and had advanced in stages, dealing with the Lin Family would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Only at that time, it would be the day to settle the accounts with them.
“The Lin Family has been jumping around these past few years. I’ve endured them for a long time.” Su Mengshan sneered.
After Su Yun coldly laughed, his face returned to an expressionless and cold look, similar to ‘facial paralysis’. He indifferently said, “What should be, will be.
What’s coming, will come.”
Su Mengshan left the market first and returned to River City’s Cang Mountain.
Meanwhile, Su Bin stayed in the Pill Store and began his seclusion.
Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was only the beginning. To achieve a substantial elevation in strength, one would have to cultivate more potent spells and even replace existing magic artifacts with superior ones.
However, the Su Family began receiving messages half a month later when Su
Bin hadn’t returned to River City yet. This led them to wonder if the Lin Family found out about their foundation establishment pill and the news of somebody successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment realm at Yunshan market.
The Lin Family decided to undergo mass migration and fled River City overnight.
Their destination—
Was the Bai Family in Maple City.
The Family Head, Su Peng, led a strike against the Lin Family, but only managed to arrest a small number of the Lin Family cultivators, while the others successfully escaped abandoning their heritage.
While Su Yu regretted internally that Fifth Elder had yet to come out of seclusion and there was nothing he could do about it.
He continued to carefully and methodically practice the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the Crocodile Demon 108 Style Body Refinement Realm technique, along with two spells each day.
In addition to these techniques, rather than endeavoring to create first-grade top-quality medicinal pills through alchemy, Su Yu continued to enhance his competence with the recipes of first-grade medium-quality pills and those of lesser quality.
He knew he needn’t rush into creating first-grade top-quality medicinal pills before elevating his cultivation skills.
Meanwhile, in addition to practicing alchemy, Su Yu started learning how to create talismans, expanding his skillset towards becoming a Talisman Master.
In just two months, Su Yu successfully created his first first-grade low-tier talisman.
If news about this speed spread, other Talisman Masters would probably be startled.
With the proficiency panel at hand, expanding these side skills presented little challenge to Su Yu.
It wasn’t until three months later that Su Bin came out of seclusion.
When he found out that the Lin Family had fled River City and relocated near the Bai Family in Maple City, Su Bin just chuckled.
“They think they can just leave? Who do they think they are?”
“Do they seriously believe a small fry like Lin Danlang marrying into the Bai Family would grant them unconditional protection from the Bai Family?”
After shaking his head, Su Bin expressed he didn’t dread the Bai Family that had some power.
Had the Yu Family from Heiyan Mountain intervened, he might have reconsidered, but the Bai Family from Maple City—he sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
He was yet to make the Bai Family answer for the large number of talismans the Lin Family used against the Su Family!
“I’ll go back first. I will take care of the Lin Family’s matter.” And with that, Su Bin left Yunshan market.
With Su Bin, a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm on their side, there was no need for Su Yu or Su Yun to get involved.
Less than a month after Su Bin’s return, they received news about the Lin Family.
Single-handedly, Su Bin located the Lin Family and exterminated the entire clan by himself using his earth and wood elemental spells, sparing only Lin Danlang who had married into the Bai Family.
Subsequently, the Lin Family’s base of operations by the Spirit Moon Lake in River City also fell into the hands of the Su Family.
The Spirit Moon Lake produced a kind of early-stage level-one Spiritual Object called the “Moonlight Fish”.
While these Moonlight Fishes were inferior to low-grade Spirit Stones in terms of cultivation effect, they were considered a gastronomic delicacy of great demand.
It was these Moonlight Fishes from Spirit Moon Lake that sustained the Lin Family’s extensive family business and paved the way for hundreds among them to cultivate.
The annihilation of the Lin Family by Su Bin provoked the Bai Family of Maple City, leading to a fierce battle between Su Bin and an elder of the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Bai Family.
As the other Bai Family cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm was about to step in, Su Bin calmly retreated, leaving the Bai Family unable to keep him.
Although the whole event tarnished the Bai Family’s reputation, the extermination of a minor family like the Lin Family was hardly a reason for them to wage a full-scale war against the Su Family.
More importantly, the Bai Family didn’t have many resources to expend on the Su Family currently.
Listening to all this, Su Yu couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, “Fifth Grandpa really is quite fierce..”
