Chapter 582: 183 Promotion to Fourth-Order Alchemist, Rune Master_1
Arranging his puppet Daozi to quietly proceed to Sangmu Mansion, Su Yu began preparations to attempt to refine fourth-order spiritual medicines and talismans, formation methods, and puppets.
Due to the emergence of a battle Daozi from the Immortal Palace, news of the exploits at the ruins of Floating City spread quietly over several years, attracting much discussion from various factions in the Daqian cultivation world.
When Su Yu used his Escape Skill to arrive at the surface of the Ten Kings Immortal City with the intent to purchase alchemy, talisman materials from various companies, he could hear the heated discussions of passing cultivators on the streets.
“I heard that the Immortal Palace has produced a Spiritual Body Daozi who is also a battle cultivator. In one of the ruins, with the cultivation level of the Core Formation’s fifth layer, he fought against dozens of Golden Core prodigies, some of whom were in the late stages and peak of the Core Formation!”
“That’s way too strong, is a Spiritual Body that scary? Even a normal True Man cultivator can’t fight against dozens of people in the same cultivation stage, let alone cross-cultivation challenges!”
“Well said, Spiritual Bodies are of course strong. Let alone a Spiritual Body, even those prodigies who have refined the Golden Core can beat ten of you! As for a Spiritual Body—heh, beating dozens, even hundreds of you is a simple matter. You should know, a Spiritual Body is a defy-the-heavens presence that only one in billions of cultivators can attain!”
“Hisss, a battle cultivator—why would it be a battle cultivator? I heard that the battle cultivators of the Immortal Palace are all fierce and cruel individuals. A long time ago, there was an incident where a battle cultivator from the Immortal Palace slaughtered the Human Clan sects!”
“With the appearance of a Spiritual Body battle Daozi from the Immortal Palace, I wonder how the other Immortal sects and powers will react? If this Daozi grows up, I’m afraid these powers would tremble!”
“I have a bad feeling that in the next few hundred years, the Daqian cultivation world may experience earth-shattering changes, such as the emergence of the Spiritual Body battle Daozi from the Immortal Palace, which is very abnormal!”
“Alas, when the gods fight, mortals suffer; but when big powers like this fight, let alone ordinary people, we smaller cultivators and factions suffer too!”
“A spiritual body Daozi has already appeared, I wonder if any other spiritual bodies or Daozi will emerge next?”
In the streets, taverns, teahouses, and other places, there was much discussion about this matter.
Su Yu frowned slightly.
‘Was there a time before when battle cultivators from the Immortal Palace slaughtered the Human Clan forces?’ He was not very familiar with this secret.
However, from the behavior and character of that Daozi he had previously encountered in the ruins, it seemed these battle cultivators of the Immortal Palace were indeed unsettling, and poses an unpredictable factor.
If he were allowed to grow, he might pose a threat to the Earth Immortal Mansion.
Su Yu felt an additional sense of urgency. Even though he now had already touched the threshold of the eighth turn Golden Core, facing a monster genius like a Spiritual Body, he was not arrogant.
“The most pressing matter is to continue improving my strength, as strength is the root of everything.” Su Yu hurried his steps slightly.
Arriving in haste at a company’s entrance, Su Yu walked in.
He headed straight to the shopkeeper and handed over a list: “How much of these materials do you have in stock?”
The people from various powers working outside generally only have a cultivation level of the Core Formation.
Naturally, they were no match for Su Yu.
When the shopkeeper received the list and took a look, he was immediately startled, thinking: “They are all third and fourth-order materials, including alchemy, talisman, formation, and puppet…. Moreover, the quantity is quite large.”
‘Who is this person?’
He wanted to invite Su Yu into the guest room for a detailed discussion, but Su Yu declined.
In the end, at Su Yu’s request, the company sold all the items on the list at a fairly favourable price. He bought almost two thousand portions of third-order spiritual medicine and several hundred portions of fourth-order low-grade spiritual medicine materials.
Next was the second company, the third company….
In just one day, Su Yu spent hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, insanely shopping in the Ten Kings Immortal City.
He eventually bought more than ten thousand portions of spiritual medicine materials, more than twenty thousand portions of third and fourth-order talisman materials.
There were also many fourth-order formation and puppet materials.
By the time Su Yu had turned back into ‘Daoist Red Shadow’ and escaped back to the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion, news had spread in the Ten Kings Immortal City that someone had spent tens to hundreds of millions of medium-grade spirit stones and bought up most of the city’s third and fourth-order material stocks.
This news quickly led to a rise in the price of spiritual medicines, talismans, and other finished products and materials in the Ten Kings Immortal City and the black market, going up by ten percent in just two days.
At the same time, various rumors emerged, and there were even claims that the Demon Clan was about to attack the Ten Kings Immortal City, hence the buying spree.
Su Yu paid no attention to the outside disturbances.
Yunxiao Dan Pavilion.
Alchemy room.
Su Yu carefully organized the materials for the fourth-order low-grade Beast Essence Pill, a common cultivation pill for fourth-order Beast Taming, which was extremely beneficial for fourth-order beasts in cultivation.
“Hundred-year-old beast essence spirit fruit, hundred-year-old demonic spirit mushroom, hundred-year-old blood refining flower…” he chanted quietly.
He also slowly sensed the medicinal nature and quality of these materials.
Once everything was prepared, Su Yu once again cleaned the top-quality magic artifact pill cauldron in front of him, sat down cross-legged, placed one hand on the pill cauldron and infused mana into it.
Teng!
A ball of green fire rose suddenly.
Su Yu started with the demonic spirit mushroom, throwing it into the pill cauldron to refine it with the pill flame, followed by the blood refining flower — beneficial to beast bloodlines. As one herb after another was thrown into the pill cauldron to be refined, eventually all the materials became a pool of medicinal fluid.
