Chapter 493: Chapter 153: Ten Immortal City, Ruins of the Phantom Sea (10K Monthly Votes Wanted)_4
Zhang Mengyao, being a bit more cold and aloof, remained silent.
Su Yu observed Zhang Mengdie, slightly curious, and asked softly, “Junior Sister Mengdie, is my master a longtime acquaintance of Elder Six-Tail Fox?”
Zhang Mengdie and Zhang Mengyao paused in their steps, their expressions slightly odd.
“Uh.”
After some hesitation, Zhang Mengdie finally whispered, “I’ve heard, only heard mind you, that my master received fair treatment from Senior Tianyu in his youth. But later, for some unknown reason, Senior Tianyu disappeared for a while. When he reappeared, he seldomly left the immortal sect.”
“While practicing spells, my master often used him as a target. Ahem, my master excels in illusion techniques, so it’s normal to conceive imaginary targets.”
Su Yu glanced at Zhang Mengdie and Zhang Mengyao, curious, “So, both junior sisters are also pursuing illusion techniques? What’s the difference between an illusion technique and an illusion array?”
It was Zhang Mengyao who chimed in this time, “Of course there’s a difference, illusion techniques are free-spirited; illusion arrays, however, cannot be controlled. It is a significant difference.”
Su Yu said, “I’ve comprehended quite a few illusion arrays and the power of illusion realms. Since both junior sisters excel in illusion techniques, I might need to seek some advice when I have the time.”
The group made their way along the street and soon arrived at the entrance of a large trading house.
Zhang Mengdie and Zhang Mengyao led the group inside.
This large trading house was spread across a wide area, with the first floor hosting numerous sections for various items such as elixirs, spiritual medicines, talismans, formations, magic artifacts, cultivation techniques, and so on.
There was also a section frequented by many customers: the Ancient Relics Treasure Area.
After scanning the area, Su Yu’s gaze fell on the Ancient Relic Treasure Area, “Let’s go have a look over there.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Mengdie nodded in agreement, her voice soft.
The group entered the ancient relic treasure area, where various artifacts from ancient sites were displayed inside glass cabinets.
Included were numerous ancient artifact talismans and antiques encased in jade boxes.
After Su Yu and the others walked the length of the cabinet display, finding nothing unusually attractive, Su Yu was about to leave when his eyes fell on a clay figurine that a woman was holding.
Upon seeing the clay figurine, Su Yu’s heart skipped a few beats and his pupils contracted slightly.
After a moment, the woman put down the figurine and gently shook her head to the salesperson, “Indeed, it contains the lineage of the mysterious Body Refinement Technique. But it seems incomplete. It’s more trouble than it’s worth, not worth eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones.”
With that, the woman left to browse elsewhere.
As the shop attendant was about to put away the figurine, Su Yu quickly stepped forward and took it, examining it with his divine sense. A rush of joy filled his heart.
It was indeed the Body Refinement Technique of the Celestial Immortals- the Middle Scroll!
Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly and casually asked the shop attendant, “How much for this piece?”
The attendant quickly replied, “Eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones, sir. This is a cultivation technique from an ancient relic. If we can get the top scroll, we would be in luck! Even auctioning it for several thousand to tens of thousands mid-grade spirit stones is possible!”
After deliberating for a while, Su Yu clenched his teeth, “Alright, I’ll take it.”
Upon receiving the mid-grade spirit stones, the shop attendant seemed quite cheerful and congratulated Su Yu on acquiring an ancient, powerful technique.
After leaving the area, Luo Qianyu chuckled and sent a psychic message, “That figurine, didn’t it look like one that you bought at the auction in the Diling Immortal City? Could it be a follow-up cultivation technique?”
Moved slightly, Su Yu mentally replied, “You guessed right, it is indeed the subsequent cultivation method.”
“Moreover, the effect of this body refinement technique is quite remarkable! Despite the need for a large amount of spiritual liquid for Foundation Establishment, it is a true body refinement technique from the ancient celestial mansion.”
“Once we return, I will pass on this lineage to you and guide you through cultivation.”
“Body Refinement Technique—” Luo Qianyu hesitated for a while, looking at Su Yu uncertainly, “Are there any side effects? Like, would it deform the body? Make one ugly?”
“Even if you became ugly, how bad could it be? Don’t worry.” Su Yu peeked at Luo Qianyu’s stunning face jokingly.
After touring the other areas of the trading house, Su Yu took a liking to several illusion techniques and purchased them – nearly costing a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
He hadn’t practiced illusion techniques before—
However!
He did have an understanding of illusion techniques!
The Mirror Moon Symbol was a fusion of both spatial and illusion realm’s power. Whilst Su Yu had an understanding of spatial power, he also had a clue about the mysteries of illusory power.
Just like when he had used illusion to deal with An Changrong and the others earlier – that illusion was a purely illusory power.
With the most direct illusory power, he was able to pull An Changrong and the others into an illusion.
Now, seeing the existence of illusion techniques, Su Yu naturally thought of compensating for his lack of understanding.
With these illusion techniques, he could surely bring out his illusory power to its fullest extent.
After leaving the trading house, Zhang Mengdie turned to Su Yu, “Elder Brother Su, where would you like to go next?”
Su Yu contemplated for a moment before saying, “Does the Ten Monarchs Immortal City have a Book Pavilion?”
Just as Zhang Mengdie was about to speak, an intimidating aura fell on Su Yu, Luo Qianyu, and the others, causing them to furrow their brows and look towards the left side of the street.
From not far off, several men dressed in the same immortal sect uniform approached. Their gaze flitted across Luo Qianyu, Zhang Mengdie, and Zhang Mengyao, and after a while, they arrived close to Su Yu and the others.
