Chapter 589: 186 Seed Regeneration_2
Tap, tap, tap.
Su Yu lightly tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought. The price of a third-order medicinal pill was between thirty and one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, premium-grade pills were about fifty percent more expensive, and the recent pill prices in the Ten Monarch Fairy City had risen by nearly thirty percent.
So, one thousand premium third-order medicinal pills were priced at over one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
Suddenly, an idea came to Su Yu’s mind.
He briskly took out a material list and handed it to An Boyi, calmly asking, “Does your association have these materials?”
Taking the list, An Boyi was startled when he spotted a series of fifth-order materials. Almost dropping the list, he widened his eyes and took a sharp intake of breath.
After glancing at the list and then back at Su Yu, a moment later…
An Boyi lightly furrowed his brows and said with a glum look, “These materials are quite rare. As far as I know, currently, in the black market treasure trove of our association, only a few materials on this list are available, and in limited quantity.”
Su Yu said, “I only accept a barter of these materials. How many materials your association can collect will determine how many medicinal pills I can deliver to your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”
Pausing briefly, Su Yu then turned to An Boyi with a deeply meaningful look, saying, “I can provide up to ten thousand premium third-order medicinal pills to your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”
An Boyi’s eyes widened, as he swallowed hard, unable to comprehend— ten thousand pills!
This deal was enormous!
But the materials listed were exceptionally scarce.
An Boyi’s brow wrinkled in hesitation. After a good while, he carefully said, “True Monarch, I can’t make this call. How about I take this list back to discuss with the elders of our association, and then finalize with True Monarch?”
Su Yu waved his hand, allowing An Boyi to leave.
He felt some anticipation in his heart. He didn’t have many channels to obtain these fifth-order materials on his own.
It would probably take a very long time to gather materials for constructing a long-distance teleportation array.
However, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was different. As a large trading association that had stood in the black market for many years, they certainly had extensive networks.
If the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce could collect more materials for him, it would save him a lot of trouble.
A few days later.
An Boyi visited again and finalized the trade of ten thousand premium third-order medicinal pills with Su Yu directly. However, it was agreed that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was to be granted a grace period for the materials.
“The auction will be held in three years. Within these three years, our association will gather equivalent materials to trade with the True Monarch.” An Boyi said with utmost respect.
“Our trade must remain confidential.” Su Yu cautioned.
An Boyi replied immediately, “Of course, we at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will not disclose it.”
The higher-ups of the Chamber easily recognized the list as a collection of teleportation array materials. And it was quite evident that a force could only amass such an array of materials if it was incredibly influential.
There might even be a Dividing Spirit Realm powerhouse behind the scene.
Could the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce afford to mess with them? They wouldn’t dare to leak the slightest bit of information.
After An Boyi left, a hint of joy crossed Su Yu’s face. Ten thousand premium third-order medicinal pills, even if he sold them to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce at a lower price, were worth at least one million mid-grade spirit stones.
This amount of material was not trivial at all.
Combined with Su Yu’s stockpile of materials, he might be able to assemble one-fifth of the teleportation array’s materials all at once.
He had taken a significant step towards gathering all the materials for the teleportation array.
While Su Yu was holed up in the black market, practicing his cultivation and refining pills to earn resources, outside, ferocious beasts formed an aggressive tide, attacking the Human Clan’s territory from all directions.
After the Ten Monarch Fairy City decided to focus on the construction of three defensive lines, cultivators from the city’s outer territories opted to gradually withdraw under the city’s guidance.
They defended against the beast tide while buying time for the city’s rear lines.
Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan, and others were given numerous tasks to guard several markets and cultivating towns, slaughtering countless beasts.
They also collected the materials needed for the Infant-growth pill by exchanging task rewards in the Ten Monarch Fairy City.
Gradually, they only lacked the main ingredient, the Infant-growth Spirit Fruit, to complete a set of materials. There was a substantial harvest.
Two years later.
In the Magic Artifact palace of Yunxiao Pill Pavilion, Su Yu looked at the Overturning Sea Turtle whose vitality had reached the third-order high-grade level. He couldn’t help but gasp slightly. The strength of the Overturning Sea Turtle’s bloodline was beyond his imagination.
It hadn’t been that long!
In less than twenty years, the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise had broken through from the first level of the Core Formation stage to the seventh level.
Could this Daozi Gu Shaokun of the Immortal Palace with his Ice Feather Spiritual Body, compare to the cultivation speed of the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise?
However, the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise’s cultivation speed came at the cost of a massive amount of high-quality resources.
Every day, Su Yu would almost feed it several perfect quality fourth-order low-grade Beast Origin Pills and a drop of fourth-order mid-grade Spiritual Liquid.
Over the years, the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise had consumed resources equivalent to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of mid-grade Spirit Stones!
If it wasn’t for the resources that Su Yu had saved up in recent years, he felt that he wouldn’t be able to afford to raise such a beast.
Thinking about the resources consumed by the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise and its cultivation progress, Su Yu felt that it was somewhat ordinary.
The massive body of the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise had grown even larger, with a shell achieving a size of five zhang (approx. 16.5 meters).
If this continued, Su Yu would have to get a stronger Magic Artifact mansion that could accommodate it. However, as he thought about it, he couldn’t help but frown. If it reached the fourth-order level and its body grew to several tens of zhang, even a Magic Artifact mansion would be hard-pressed to fit it.
It seemed that he would have to move to a secret realm.
At that time, he would have to leave the City of Ten Monarchs—
But how could the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise leave the City of Ten Monarchs if the trouble with the Sea Clan wasn’t resolved?
Unless, the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise didn’t release its full body and shrank itself.
Once again feeding the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise, Su Yu left the magical mansion and had just thought about returning to the Alchemy Room to continue the alchemy, when a message from Luo Qianyu came through the Token.
Luo Qianyu said, “Gu Shaokun, the Daozi from the Immortal Palace who has an Ice Feather Spiritual Body, has found us and battled me and the Taoist Qingquan.”
“We used two fourth-order low-grade Mirror Moon symbols and barely managed to trap and defeat him.”
“However, the strength of that Daozi from the Immortal Palace is truly terrifying. He has become stronger since we met in the ruins. Qingquan even got injured under his frosty power!”
Su Yu furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What is his current cultivation level?”
Luo Qianyu said, “The eighth level of the Core Formation stage!”
So fast?
Su Yu was quite shocked, and then asked, “What about his Dao Foundation? Has he already achieved the eight-turn Golden Core Dao Foundation?”
Luo Qianyu shook her head and said, “Not yet. The power of the Dao Domain you mentioned before hasn’t increased much. If his Dao Foundation grows even stronger, even fourth-order low-grade Mirror Moon symbols might have trouble trapping him.”
After that.
Luo Qianyu talked about the recent friction and contention among the prodigies of various powers, including the disciple of the lord of Earth Immortal Mansion, Su Yu’s Junior Martial Sister Fan Xiao.
“She seems to already have a five-turn Golden Core, and she has now achieved the seventh level of the Core Formation stage. Even the heavenly chosen ones at the ninth level of the Core Formation stage are not her opponents.”
“The master said that the Mansion Lord is considering making her the new Daozi of the Immortal Gate.”
Fan Xiao?
Su Yu thought of his strong little Junior Martial Sister and was somewhat amazed. This rate of cultivation improvement isn’t slow, plus, a five-turn Golden Core; this Dao Foundation has surpassed many heavenly chosen ones.
To become the new Daozi of the Earth Immortal Mansion was not surprising.
After all, Su Yu had heard when he first arrived that as long as one’s Dao Foundation reached at least the four-turn Golden Core, they would have a chance to become a Daozi of the Immortal Gate.
Fan Xiao clearly had this qualification.
However, while the prodigies of various powers outside were flaunting their abilities and gaining fame, Su Yu remained unswayed, still staying in his little Dan Pavilion in the black market, cultivating and practicing Alchemy.
What’s the point of striving for those things?
If he had that time, he would rather work hard to improve his own Dao Foundation, to see whether he could achieve the nine-turn Golden Core, and the ninth level of the Core Formation stage.
After another half-year had passed.
One night.
While feeding the Sea Overturning Mystical Tortoise, Su Yu was also circulating his Cang Wood Mana, nourishing the mysterious seed in his hand.
Ten years ago, the seed’s life force in his hand was nearing perfection.
At that very moment, as the Cang Wood Mana at the eighth level of the Core Formation stage within Su Yu surged into the seed, it was completely absorbed and integrated by the seed.
All of a sudden, a dazzling emerald Immortal light burst from the seed and shone brilliantly.
