The Golden Cicada technique was not found, and instead, they took a fall with Taoist Shuhai, an insignificant junior, and paid with a Sacred Yuan peach tree. The Taixu Alliance not only lost the Sacred Yuan peach tree but also greatly lost face in the process. It was a bittersweet defeat for them this time.
The escape of Gongsun Yi and others, along with the twists and turns involving Taoist Shuhai, shifted the focus between Taixu Alliance and Dayue Prefecture from the Golden Cicada technique to the conflict between Taixu Alliance and Dayue Palace.
After Su Zhi ordered a clean sweep of the Yunjian Sect, it immediately became peaceful and calm.
In the hidden realm of the Yunjian Sect, Su Yu focused on his cultivation, sometimes practicing alchemy and talisman drawing, and other times conversing over tea with Yu Ke’er, Luo Qianyu, and Su Zhi.
In another hidden realm of the ruins of the Luoyue Alliance, the Daoist puppet harvested the small medicinal garden and then returned to its cave dwelling, beginning to read and understand one ancient book after another.
Most of these ancient books were related to cultivation insights. Some were travel notes, some were insights about the Dao, and some were the late years’ insights of ancient cultivators, recording their own cultivation experience and passing it on to future generations.
Studying ancient books and cultivation techniques, integrating them into the Five Elements Method, and continuing to create spells for the second layer of the Five Elements Method’s Core Formation Realm.
All these matters filled Su Yu’s leisure time.
It took half a year before Su Yu learned from Su Zhi’s mouth about the happenings outside.
The cabin in the Spirit Mountain.
After taking a small sip of the strong divine liquor, Su Zhi’s cheeks turned a rosy hue, with a visible flush appearing. With the strength of the divine liquor, and the heated sensation sweeping to her entire body, she felt somewhat flushed.
However, the taste was very unique, so Su Zhi couldn’t help but take another sip. After quite some time, she squinted her eyes and put down the wine cup, looking at Su Yu.
She said, “Taoist Friend Shuhai has safely returned to Dayue Palace. In recent times, the Taixu Alliance has mobilized tens of thousands of cultivators to search for his whereabouts and intercept him on his way back.”
“But obviously they have failed.”
“It is said that the Taixu Alliance is now warning the Dayue Palace to immediately hand over Taoist Friend Shuhai and the Sacred Yuan peach tree. Otherwise, the Taixu Alliance will declare war against the Dayue Palace.”
Listening to that, Su Yu found it to be amusing. Half a year ago, the Taixu Alliance had used an old man to abduct Taoist Shuhai, the young one.
The Dayue Palace was furious and warned the Taixu Alliance to release Taoist Shuhai unscathed or it would wage war against them.
But now, Taoist Shuhai has outsmarted the Taixu Alliance and the latter, infuriated and defeated, threatens to wage war.
Indeed, the wheel of fortune turns in ebbs and flows.
Su Yu looked at Su Zhi who had taken two small sips of the divine liquor, her cheeks had turned into a beautiful rosy red and asked, “What level has it reached now? When will the war begin?”
Su Zhi thought for a moment as she picked up her wine cup again and said before taking another sip, “Apparently, they are still in the process of arguing. The initiative is in the hands of the Dayue Palace. Now that they have got the Sacred Yuan peach tree and Taoist Shuhai is safe, the Dayue Palace is at an advantage.”
After drinking a cup of the divine liquor, Su Zhi’s face flushed warmly, her breath sweet with a strong scent of wine. She felt a bit uncomfortable with her hot breath. Chatting with Su Yu about matters relating to the Su Family for a while, she hastily took her leave.
Su Yu also drank a small cup. Looking at the half-left strong divine liquor, he thought inwardly, “I need to find an opportunity to see if I can get more divine liquor from the alcohol Taoist in the future.”
He put away the red wine gourd and came to the place where Yu Ke’er was in closed-door cultivation. He waited for her to come out, and then chatted with her while under the influence of the wine.
During their conversation, Su Yu thought of the dual cultivation technique he had gained earlier.
There was nothing wrong with this dual cultivation technique itself, the problem was that the jade slip inheritance contained the methods of the demonic cultivators.
Of course, Su Yu didn’t want to cultivate this dual cultivation technique.
However, it contained many profound and broad aspects that he picked up for learning.
Several months later.
The Taixu Alliance still had not declared war on the Dayue Palace. On the contrary, it was rumored that the Taixu Alliance’s Hierarch came to visit the elders of the Dayue Palace.
The outcome is unknown, however, the Taixu Alliance, who once boasted about going to war, did not take any action in the end.
Two years later.
Su Yu, Yu Ke’er, Su Zhi, Su Qi, and even Luo Qianyu, came to Dan Mountain with Su Yu. Not long ago, Su Yun and Su Ruosu, the two former clan elders passed away, and the entire Su family had given them their farewell.
After returning to Dan Mountain, Su Yu went to the cemetery to pour a glass of divine liquor on each of their graves.
He stared blankly at the several tombstones in front of him.
All the elders of the Su Family from his generation, those that were once his elders, except Su Bin, have all passed away.
The only one remaining from the next generation of elders is Su He.
The elders of the Su family have once again changed hands, now replaced by individuals in their forties and fifties, who are full of vitality.
Su Rui’an has also found a successor named Su Tong, whom he has been nurturing.
Simultaneously, there are several other candidates who are potential successors.
Su Rui’an and his wife Yu Wenji now have one son and two daughters. The Spiritual Roots talents of their eldest son and second daughter are not good, only having an inferior Spiritual Root, however, their third daughter, Su Rui, possesses a superior Spiritual Root.
As for Su Bin, he is already nearly 108 years old, and his cultivation has been stuck at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If he can’t break through to the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Su Bin’s life span would only be about thirty years left.
