Chapter 569: 176 Sea Turtle Spirit_2
Not only did Jing Chong, the young master of the Jing Family, change color, but his second uncle and True Monarch of the Jing Family, Jing Feng, was also startled and turned pale.
Five lower fourth-grade formations combined!?
Lin Qingxia stimulated the formation of the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion, merging her aura into the formation, showing no fear even when facing the True Monarch of the Jing Family.
With a frosty countenance, she stared at Jing Feng and Jing Chong, saying, “True Monarch of the Jing Family, as well as the Young Master, I’ve said before, our Pavilion Master doesn’t entertain guests. If you need spiritual medicine, you can discuss it with me. If not, I ask you to leave!”
Jing Feng, the True Monarch of the Jing Family, remained silent for a while before looking towards the direction of the backyard of the pavilion, saying, “I apologize for the disturbance. We are taking our leave.”
The Jing Family members turned and left.
However, their faces were rather grim upon departure, especially Jing Chong. Even with the presence of his family’s True Monarch, the Pill Master of the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion wasn’t willing to meet with them?
Were they looking down on the Jing Family?
Jing Feng, the second patriarch of the Jing Family, had a furrowed brow. One able to set up a five-layer lower fourth-grade combined formation was not to be underestimated, especially the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion!
At least, any forced attempts on their part to get into the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion wouldn’t work.
“We still haven’t been able to gauge their true strength.” Jing Feng thought to himself, for this was the main reason for his apprehension.
However, from their visit this time, it seemed that at most, the person behind them should be a True Monarch in the early stages of the Nascent Soul Realm.
He wondered why they were unwilling to meet face to face with him.
After pondering for a while.
Jing Feng looked at Jing Chong and ordered, “Have someone keep an eye on them. I don’t believe they’ll stay in the black market forever. Find out who their Pavilion Master truly is!”
The shopkeepers of several shops around were watching the spectacle, essentially every shopfront was manned by a True Man at the Core Formation Realm.
They naturally recognized the Pill Master family of the Jing Family on the same street.
Seeing the Jing Family being denied at the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion and leaving, the shopkeepers and shop assistants couldn’t help but engage in quiet speculation.
Who is the alchemist behind the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion? They didn’t even give face to the Jing Family, not to mention even paying them a visit?
This was too mysterious!
Time passed slowly.
To the astonishment of other shops and the Jing Family, it seemed that the people from the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion rarely left the place, and no one saw them leave the black market.
Who delivered the spiritual medicine needed for alchemy?
Another year later.
A woman in a white dress walked into Yunxiao Pill Pavilion and looked at Lin Bing, who was in charge today, and raised her eyebrows, saying, “I heard that you guys are selling top-grade third-grade pills here?”
Lin Bing came out from behind the counter and greeted her warmly, “Yes, we do. May I ask what kind of pill does the friend require?”
The woman pondered for a moment and asked, “Could you find your Pavilion Master? I want to discuss a deal with him.”
That evening.
When Su Yu came out of the secret room, while eating the delicious meal cooked by Yang Yumin, he listened to Lin Bing recount the day’s events.
Lin Bing said, “Master, today a female cultivator from Fan Family, under the rule of the immortal city of Dilin in the Earth Immortal Mansion, wanted master to refine pills for them. They offered to provide the materials, and additionally compensate Master. I rejected her request though.”
“Oh?”
Su Yu was somewhat surprised. The cultivator family Fan in Dilin’s immortal city? He hadn’t heard of them.
However, this was the first time that a visitor from the territory of an Earth Immortals’ Mansion had come to them.
As for the refusal, it definitely needed to be refused.
After all, there were plenty of Third Grade pill ingredients available in the Ten Monarch Immortal City. Why should he refine pills for someone else in exchange for remuneration?
After stating the matter, Lin Qingxia mentioned, “Master, the Jing Family seems to be still watching our Pill Pavilion. Today when I went out, I was followed.”
Su Yu frowned slightly. In fact, it wasn’t just the Jing Family. Now the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion had quite a reputation along the street and even had a good reputation nearby. Many Loose Cultivators and cultivator families knew the name of Yunxiao Pill Pavilion for its Third Grade top-quality pills and came because of it.
There were quite a lot of people who wanted to see him now.
Among them, even more powerful cultivator families than the Jing Family had come to recruit him.
However, they were all blocked at the door by Lin Qingxia and the others.
“Just ignore them for now, cultivate well, and settle accounts with them in the future.” Su Yu said calmly.
Yang Yumin looked at Su Yu eagerly and said, “With Master here, it certainly won’t be difficult to teach the Jing Family a lesson in the future!”
Su Yu gently shook his head.
He always allowed the three of them to call him Pavilion Master, but when only he was around, they still insisted on calling him master. They wouldn’t even change it no matter how many times he corrected them.
However, Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, and Yang Yumin were indeed impressive. Apart from their charming and pleasing appearances, they all had considerable talent.
Less than a decade had passed, yet Lin Qingxia’s cultivation had already reached the second level of the Core Formation Realm.
Yang Yumin’s cultivation was also solidly at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Given a little more time, she should have a good chance of sensing the bottleneck of the Core Formation realm.
By then, all three of them would be cultivators at the Core Formation realm.
With his guidance, they would likely not have any issues reaching the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm in the future.
At that point, they would each have a lifespan of five hundred years.
Even Lin Qingxia, the eldest among them, would still be able to serve him for more than three hundred years.
The twenty thousand mid-quality Spirit Stones he spent on them were totally worth it.
Time slowly passed.
Su Yu remained in the black market, cultivating the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law and the Five Elements Method inside a shop that had a spiritual environment akin to a third-rank Spirit Vein. He used this to enhance his cultivation and Mana.
Although the spiritual energy environment was not ideal, the presence of Spiritual Liquid for supplementation meant that the accumulation of proficiency for the Five Elements Method was not much different from what he would experience when he was in the sect.
With the boundless supply of high-grade resources from Su Yu, the cultivation strength of Lin Qingxia, the three women, along with the Sea Turtle, was also growing at an astonishing rate.
As for the Jing family and those who were eyeing the Yunxiao Pill Pavilion, they simply couldn’t find an opportunity to trouble the pavilion.
After all, how could they enslave someone they couldn’t even find? This indeed frustrated the Jing family and others greatly.
Two years later.
The conflict between the ten major sects and the Demon Clan in the Illusion Sea Marsh ended. The cultivators and demons each went their own ways. Taoist Tianyu returned to Dayu Peak.
Su Yu also reappeared and returned to the sect.
As soon as he returned, Su Yu heard that a monstrous genius had recently joined the sect and was under the tutelage of the Sect Master. This person has only just reached the first layer of the Core Formation Realm, but had already condensed a second-rank Golden Core!
Dayu Peak, Bamboo Fence Courtyard.
When Su Yu arrived, he saw that Taoist Tianyu was leisurely drinking Spiritual Tea at the stone table. Upon seeing Su Yu return, he glanced at him and asked, “Where have you been?”
Su Yu sat down and cheerfully refilled his tea. His teacher still did not know about the decrease in formations on the mountain.
“I didn’t go much of anywhere. Just out for a stroll.”
Taoist Tianyu studied him closely for a moment, his expression strange. “How come you’re still at the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm?”
Su Yu replied with a bitter expression, “Ah, Master, cultivating in the Core Formation Realm is not easy. Given my top-quality Spiritual Root talents, reaching the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm might be my limit.”
“Nonsense.”
Taoist Tianyu waved his hand dismissively, clearly not believing him. His eyes flickered slightly and he asked, “Do you know that your sect brother has taken a new disciple?”
“He had asked me to oversee him for a while. Well, since you’re back now, I guess it’s your turn to—”
Su Yu quickly interrupted, “I’m not free, Master. You can look after them first for my sect brother, I will queue up.”
He did not have much time now to care about other matters.
The next day after he returned, Su Yu bid farewell to Taoist Tianyu and left the sect to return to the black market. He continued to gather Spirit Stones and collect materials for the teleportation formation.
At the same time, he was also trying to acquire information about Void Stone Ore, the core material for the teleportation formation.
However, he did not know that not long after he left Dayu Peak, a figure in a light-colored long skirt had arrived at Dayu Peak and temporarily started cultivating with Taoist Tianyu.
Nearly three more years passed.
Outside the Ten Monarchs’ Immortal City.
Several figures quietly emerged from the river and transformed into human forms. They gazed solemnly at the enormous human Immortal City standing between heaven and earth in front of them.
One of the figures took out the Jade Light Blood Pearl again, pouring a huge amount of demonic energy into it, trying to sense the dreadful line of bloodline existence once more.
However, this sense of existence was very vague. He could only sense a rough direction and range.
After a while, he frowned slightly, put away the Jade Light Blood Pearl, and looked at the Immortal City in front of him. “There’s a high possibility that it’s right in front of us!”
