Chapter 566: 175 Another Core Formation Realm Maid_1
Subsequently, Su Yu returned to the Fairy Gate, completed the routine tasks that came every five years, and then came back to the black market situated beneath the Ten Monarchs Immortal City. He hid within the Dan Pavilion, rarely leaving its premises. He let Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, and Yang Yumin handle the visitors to the Dan Pavilion, keeping himself out of public view.
Three years passed.
At the edge of the Daqian cultivation realm, several figures emerged from the riverway, staring at the territory of the Human Clan in the distance.
“Is it this way?”
One of them summoned a blood bead that was as vibrant as emerald. As he yuan his hand over this bead, the demonic aura within him was infused into it. Along with the striking green glow of the blood bead, a vague sense of bloodline connection emerged in his heart.
In the darkness, a bloodline aura that invoked awe and chills seemed to exist through this bead.
However, he could only vaguely perceive the general direction of this bloodline aura.
This was only possible by leveraging a drop of lifeblood bestowed by the ancestors. Without it, he would not have sensed anything given his own capabilities and bloodline.
A moment later.
His aura receded, and he carefully put away the lifeblood given by the ancestors. He looked in the direction of the center of the Daqian Cultivation Realm and nodded solemnly, “Yes, it’s there.”
“Then let’s keep going.”
The figures re-entered the riverway, stealthily following the sensed bloodline direction.
Black market.
Su Yu, using the Void Escape Skill, slipped out of the Dan Pavilion undetected. He headed for a trade association named Huolong Hall located on a central street in the east city. He participated in a large-scale auction, where he won a tier-five material required for setting up a teleportation array. It cost him nearly 20,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones before he silently left.
Hardly a moment after he left the trade association, a few men followed him out.
However, Su Yu brazenly merged into the crowd on the street in full view of them. In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace from under their watchful gaze.
Seeing Su Yu’s disappearance, the men’s faces instantly change slightly, and they hurriedly rush into the crowd in search of him.
But after looking around for a while, they still failed to find Su Yu. Evidently, he had escaped.
The few men regrouped, looking rather vexed.
“Did he actually manage to escape?”
“A Core Formation cultivator, who splurged twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones to purchase a tier-five material, damn, he’s surely a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!”
“But it’s kind of strange, what use would a Core Formation cultivator have for tier-five material?”
After bemoaning for a while, they quietly returned to the trade association and continued lurking at the auction in hopes of another easy target. After all, Su Yu had left early, and the auction was far from over.
At another location.
Upon executing the Void Escape Skill, Su Yu seemed to have submerged into the fabric of space, causing minimal spatial disturbances.
In the past, whenever he tried to forcibly control spatial power for teleportation, each entry into the space felt like being submerged and crushed by a deluge of spatial force. But now, while executing the Void Escape Skill, it felt as natural as a fish in water.
He could stay in the space and watch people in the outside space as if there was a thin membrane barrier between them. He could see them, but they couldn’t see him.
He turned around and saw a few figures who were following him. He quietly noted their appearances and auras before leaving.
Thinking they could easily hunt him down?
Excellent.
He silently returned to Yunxiao Dan Pavilion and hid away the freshly won tier-five material, thinking to himself: “That’s the fourth one.”
It isn’t easy to collect materials suitable for constructing a teleportation array as they are relatively rare.
However, he didn’t have an abundance of Spirit Stones.
Spending decades, or even a century or two for the collection was still acceptable.
A few months later.
In a wilderness about fifty miles from Ten Monarchs Immortal City, Su Yu pulled back his lower grade magic weapon, the Green Moon Sword, and with a pinch of his fingers, he set ablaze a clump of Nirvana Flames that scorched the scattered corpses in front of him, leaving no evidence behind.
“Hmm, a few late Core Formation cultivators think they can consider me as their prey?”
He turned around and quietly left.
By sparing them for a few more months, he was being too kind!
Yunxiao Dan Pavilion.
Secret chamber.
With the Void Escape Skill, Su Yu quietly returned to the secret chamber. He then waved his hand, bringing out several supreme-grade magical artifacts he had just obtained from those men, along with a Storage Ring and three Qiankun Bags.
Among the supreme-grade magical artifacts, there was a flying sword, a short spear, a Dharma Seal, and a bronze bell.
Technically, Su Yu being in the Core Formation stage, the supreme-grade magical artifacts would be the most suitable for him.
But after his Golden Core transformed into a seven-cycle Golden Core and he condensed a Pseuda Five Elements domain, combined with his profound Five Elements mana, he started prefering to use nascent magical artifacts, or even lower-grade magical artifacts.
By exerting the power of the Five Elements domain, he could barely display the power of magical artifacts.
Staring at the four supreme-grade magical artifacts, Su Yu thought for a moment and whispered to himself, “Should I learn the Artifact Refining technique from Master?”
Then he could reforge the magical artifacts and magical weapons, and eliminate any risks associated with them.
He stored the four supreme-grade magical artifacts with a wave of his hand.
Su Yu then sorted out the remaining Storage Ring and Qiankun Bags, only to discover a few tokens inside. The tokens were engraved with a ghost face, which appeared to be the identity tokens of those men.
But he neither recognized these tokens nor the ghost face engraved upon them.
“Who were they?”
After destroying the tokens and adding up the resources and Spirit Stones on those four, the total value was barely over ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones. They were all poor as church mice.
“Well, it wasn’t a total loss.”
