Translator: 549690339
A few days after Su Zhi returned to the Yunjian Sect, she went to Yunshan market once again, this time with five inner disciples of Yunjian Sect in tow.
Two of them had reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement, while three were at the ninth level, one of whom was a woman shrouded in a white-silk face veil. The aura emanating from her gave Su Yu a sense of numbness at the scalp.
She was strong!
Though she too was at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, had the Ghost-headed Golden Eagle encountered her, it would likely have been killed with a single hit.
Su Zhi introduced the five individuals to Su Yu one by one.
“This is Junior Sister Yu Qianqing.” A woman with a somewhat chubby, infant-like face turned shy and lowered her head whenever anyone looked at her.
After the brief introduction, Su Zhi transmitted her voice secretly to Su Yu,
“Junior Sister Yu is a disciple of the Pill Hall, with superior talent in Alchemy. However, she is still not as good as you, Little Yu. She is currently a mediocre class Alchemist of the first tier, and she is a named disciple of the Elder of the Pill Hall.”
“Personally, I find Junior Sister Yu to be a good match for you, Little Yu. She has a pleasant personality and is also an Alchemist. Don’t you think so? Hehe.”
After saying this, Su Zhi introduced the other three brothers without any additional secret message.
Lastly, referring to the woman in the white silk veil, Su Zhi introduced her, “This is Senior Sister Luo Qianyu, the direct disciple of the First Elder of the
Yunjian Sect.”
Hearing this, Su Yu looked at the woman in astonishment. A direct disciple of the First Elder of the Yunjian Sect?
Why would Su Zhi bring such a person to meet him?
Su Zhi introduced Su Yun, saying, “This is Su Yun of our family clan. Although his level of cultivation is not very high, he indeed is a first-class Alchemist of the first tier.
The previously shy Yu Manli looked up at Su Yun, her eyes filled with curiosity and respect, saying, “I’ve heard about you from Senior Sister Su.”
“How did you practice Alchemy? I find Alchemy so difficult. One needs to consider the nature and quantity of the medicine, and even the heat control. It’s all so complex and challenging.”
“I still can’t master the middle-grade first tier pills, and I don’t know when I will be able to achieve the status of a first-rate Alchemist of the first tier.
At this, Su Yu gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, “I can barely manage Alchemy, and definitely don’t qualify as a first-rate Alchemist of the first tier. I am far behind the talented disciples of the Yunjian Sect.”
Yu Manli pouted, and gave Su Yu a look, saying, “Your statement is obviously modest.”
Su Yu just smiled and said nothing more.
The other four people from the Yunjian Sect remained silent. The three men didn’t think much of Su Yu’s fifth level Qi Refinement, but after learning that he was a first-class Alchemist of the first tier, their attitudes changed noticeably. They dared not dismiss him anymore!
Yu Manli had been learning Alchemy from the Elder of the Pill Hall in Yuniian Sect and had just about managed to become a mediocre Alchemist of the first tier.
And this man, merely by refining Qi at the fifth level in a market, had already become a first-class Alchemist of the first tier!
Just how monstrous was his Alchemy talent?
What if in the future they needed something from him?
The fact that Luo Qianyu, a direct disciple of the First Elder of Yunjian Sect, was looking at Su Yu with a hint of surprise showed the significance of this accomplishment. Even for someone of her age, it was not easy to become a first-class Alchemist at the first tier, let alone doing so while only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
He was a young prodigy in Alchemy!
Seeing this, Su Zhi immediately said, “Little Yu, I have already reported the matter of the Ghost-headed Golden Eagle to the Sect. The Second Elder said he was not going to investigate it, so I thought I would go investigate it along with my fellow disciples.”
“You…”
Su Yu interrupted immediately, “I won’t be going. I am only at the fifth level of
Qi Refinement, and will certainly be a burden. Thus, I won’t accompany you.”
At this point, Luo Qianyu said, “You can come along. As long as Foundation
Establishment Realm disciples stay out of it, your safety can be assured.”
Su Yu shook his head and smiled, “Thank you for your kind offer, but I respectfully decline.”
Luo Qianyu nodded, “Since that’s the case… I want to exchange something for the map you have, as well as that Magic Array Flag of the Demon Path.”
Saying so, Luo Qianyu waved her hand, and an artifact, a Cauldron Furnace, appeared in her hand.
The Furnace was jade-green throughout, appearing like a precious item carved out of jade stone.
“This is a top-grade mid-level alchemical cauldron, known as the Azure Light Furnace. If you are willing, I will exchange it for the formation flag, map and token in your possession,” Luo Qianyu, her eyes clear as gemstones, looked at su Yu.
Su Yu was shocked, “A top-grade mid-level alchemical cauldron? This is too precious! ”
Such a magic artifact was not far from a top-tier one.
It was much more precious than the incomplete second-tier inferior demonic formation flag.
Especially because it was an alchemical cauldron! Even rarer and more valuable!
Luo Qianyu replied with a faint smile, “It’s worth it. A token from an inner sect disciple of the Nine Souls Demon Palace alone makes it worthwhile.”
So that’s it.
Exchange.
Without hesitation, Su Yu gave all those items to Luo Qianyu. He wouldn’t even touch these items, let alone investigate the secrets they contained or try to understand the ‘adventure’ of the Ghost Head Golden Eagle.
It was too dangerous. Unaware of everything, what he would encounter was also an unknown.
Rather than taking risks, he would rather practice quietly in the market.
With his current resources, as long as he practices steadily, he is almost certain to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm, barring any accidents.
So why bother with this?
“Thank you.”
Luo Qianyu looked at the token. Her eyes instantly concentrated. With a slight nod to Su Yu and a gesture, all the items were collected.
Afterwards, everyone prepared to bid farewell. Su Yu, at last, gifted Su Zhi a bottle of God Bewildering Liquid.
As Su Yu watched them leave, his mood was quite good. After they’ve disappeared from sight, he lowered his gaze to the top-grade mid-level alchemical cauldron in his hands, a smile spreading across his face.
“Big profit.”
This alchemical cauldron was likely superior to the one his master, Su Yun, had.
After discussing the matter with Su Yun, Su Yun raised an eyebrow in surprise,
“A direct disciple of the First Elder from the Yunjian Sect? It seems that Xiao Zhi’s connections in the Yunjian Sect are not bad. And that token from the inner sect disciple of the Nine Souls Demon Palace, there might be some secret behind it.’
“Why else would a direct disciple of the First Elder from the Yunjian Sect personally make a move?”
Speaking of which, Su Yun gently shook his head and looked at Su Yu, “You made the right decision not to go. As alchemists, why should we take such a risk?”
“It’s a good thing that the alchemical cauldron has arrived. You should refine and cultivate it.”
That alchemical cauldron was sufficient for refining second-tier elixirs.
“Alright.”
Su Yu returned to his room and practiced in peace.
It wasn’t until Su Zhi and the others returned after more than half a month that they hurriedly visited the Pill Hall and briefly discussed their findings and gains with Su Yu and Su Yun.
Afterwards, they went back to the sect for secluded cultivation.
The next time they meet, she might already be at Qi Refinement Realm Level Nine.
He spent every day routinely cultivating the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and Crocodile Demon Body Refinement Technique, refining pills and drawing talismans during his spare time, and studying the Puppet Master’s legacy.
In these peaceful and happy days, half a year passed.
The triennial Yun Mountain Market auction was soon approaching.
One day, a familiar young girl and an old woman visited the Pill Hall of the Su
Family again..
