Chapter 401: 138 Intermediate Level-3 Alchemist, Talisman Master (10k requests for monthly tickets)_3
“It would be hard to find you if I wished.”
Pausing, Taoist Xiuyu looked at Su Yu and said, “You and Taoist Friend Ma left behind three Core Formation demonic cultivators including the master of Soul-Loss Mountain outside Misty Ridge. Half a year ago, Taoist Xuanming, who claimed to be an ancient demon king, came looking for Misty Ridge.”
Su Yu tensed up and hastily asked, “Is Taoist Friend Ma alright?”
Taoist Xiuyu nodded, “He is fine. The Ma Family has already moved away from Misty Ridge and is currently residing temporarily in the Great Moon Immortal City.”
“Taoist Xuanming went to Misty Ridge but did not find anyone. Therefore, after destroying Misty Ridge, he came to look in the Great Moon Market.”
“However, how could he, a mere Core Formation boundary demonic cultivator, act recklessly in the Great Moon Market?”
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, asking, “Did he die?”
“Uh.”
Left speechless, Taoist Xiuyu chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Actually, he did not die, but was injured and forced to flee.”
Su Yu, upon hearing this, came to a realization. Even though he does not know the true strength of Sky Void Palace, he felt that there is a high possibility of a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch within the palace.
After all, Library Pavilion also has a senior within their ranks, so Sky Void Palace should not be lacking, right?
If Sky Void Palace really took action, could that demonic cultivator Xuanming, as Taoist Xiuyu said, who is still in the Core Formation realm, escape?
Probably not.
Picking up a tea cup and taking a small sip of the spiritual tea, Su Yu looked at Taoist Xiuyu and asked, “What’s up with the Taixu Immortal Alliance and Fengluo Mansion? Why have they suddenly taken action again?”
Taoist Xiuyu answered, “It was predictable, not sudden.”
“Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Taixu Immortal Alliance and Fengluo Mansion are obviously more cautious and haven’t instigated an all-out war.”
“Given the current state of affairs, everything seems fine overall.”
“The Xuanming demon king has fled, and it appears that he has returned to the Nine Soul Demon Ridge. At the very least, the Nine Soul Demon Palace would not dare to act rashly.”
Hearing this, Su Yu finally understood a bit.
He has returned to the Nine Soul Demon Ridge?
Does this mean they want Xuanming the demon king to restrain the power of the Nine Soul Demon Palace?
If this is indeed the case, then it can be considered a brilliant move.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu asked, “I heard that the one who went against the Taixu Immortal Alliance is the hidden immortal cultivation family, the Chen Family?”
Taoist Xiuyu nodded, “Yes, that’s right. The Chen Family is Taoist Friend Shuhai’s family.”
“The Chen family is engaged with Lan Yu, the fifth branch of the Taixu Immortal Alliance. Their main strength lies in the creation of talismanic scripts. Similarly, Taoist Friend Shuhai’s family also excels in the same field and possesses a third-grade spirit jade vein.”
“That Lan Yu branch must be eyeing the third-grade spirit jade vein in the hands of the Chen family.”
Hearing this, Su Yu was slightly moved. A third-grade spirit jade vein!
That must mean the Chen Family should have significant materials for third-grade talismanic scripts on hand?
Su Yu, maintaining his composure, asked, “How is the current state of the battle?”
Taoist Xiuyu thought for a long time then said, “For now, it’s mainly tentative. The Taixu Immortal Alliance is probing the reaction of the Great Moon Palace and the strength of the Great Moon Mansion, and the Great Moon Mansion is doing the same.”
“This kind of contest may last for quite a while.”
“It is hard to say when it will end.”
The two chatted for a while, and Su Yu learned a lot about the Chen Family and the current situation from Taoist Xiuyu.
Afterwards, the subject naturally drifted towards Bai Yue Immortal City.
Taoist Xiuyu said, “The Bai Yue Immortal City is currently preparing for a siege, the Phoenix Immortal Valley forces are not weak. They are one of the several forces under Fengluo Mansion, second only to the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate, and they have an old veteran True Man at the eighth level of the Core Formation stage.”
“True Man Bai Yue is depending on Bai Yue Immortal City, at least for the time being, they can hold off the onslaught of Phoenix Immortal Valley.”
After thoughtful consideration, Su Yu finally asked, “What about the opinion of the Great Moon Palace? Are they really just going to keep defending and let them attack and oppress them?”
Taoist Xiuyu smiled and shook his head, “I’m not really concerned about that. After all, tall people would be the first to get hit if the sky collapses. What do you think, Taoist Friend Su?”
Hearing Taoist Xiuyu’s words, Su Yu was taken aback, then also started laughing. That’s true.
A lightweight worry is not worth fretting over.
There is no need for him to be anxious if the Great Moon Palace is not concerned. Worst comes to worst, he will simply prepare to take the Su Family into hiding in the secret territory of the Lunar Alliance and then emerge once their conflict has subsided.
Or he could wait till he has cultivated to the level of a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch. At that time, who would dare to provoke the Su Family?
For a great power like the Great Moon Palace, the Taixu Immortal Alliance, or the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate, they couldn’t possibly resort to a life-or-death struggle every time a conflict arises; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived this long.
Maybe they will contend for ten or eight years, and then tranquility will be restored among all the powers.
They chatted idly for a long time.
Looking at Taoist Xiuyu, Su Yu said, “Does Taoist Friend have a way to contact the Chen Family? Can you ask them if they need more talismans? They can have Moon Illusion Talismans, Purple Moon Talismans, Altar Soul Talismans, and so on, for second-grade and lower third-grade talismans based on their needs.”
“I need materials for lower third-grade and middle third-grade talismans in exchange.”
Taoist Xiuyu looked surprised and asked Su Yu, “Materials for middle third-grade talismans? Are you now a middle third-grade talisman master?”
Su Yu shook his head and said, “Not necessarily, but I need to accumulate some materials. As you know, gathering these third-grade materials is quite difficult.”
A moment later.
Su Yu left behind five hundred middle-grade spirit stones as a fee and asked Sky Void Palace to facilitate the exchange transaction with the Chen Family.
Currently, the Chen family’s side seems like a war zone, so he does not wish to go there.
The next day.
In the Great Moon Market, at the Yu Family’s residence.
Taoist Shuhai, Taoist Xiuyu, and Taoist Qingquan, the three of them arrived together. Taoist Shuhai, as always, wore a simple robe, kept his energy low, appearing very low-key.
