Chapter 60: 060 Bad News_l

The death of Wu Zhigang and his companions did not cause any ripples, and the other neighbors in the alley didn’t notice anything unusual.
Su Yu’s daily life continued as usual, practicing the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the Hundred And Eight Body Refinement Realm Techniques of the Crocodile Demon, and the Golden Cicada Spell everyday.
The unique Cultivation Technique of the Blood Whale Swallowing Moon had quietly advanced to the second realm not long after his breakthrough in the tenth layer of Body Refinement Realm.
Now, Su Yu consumes demon beast essence blood and roasted demon beast meat, eats Spirit Rice, and accumulates the core power of the second realm every day.
The second realm of Blood Whale Swallowing Moon could cause his physical strength to burst forth with twice the amount of power.
In other words, the power after the first realm of Blood Whale Swallowing
Moon Technique burst forth is multiplied by 2.
And the second realm is 3 times that.
Su Yu was unsure how much longer he could hold out under the three-fold burst of power before reaching his limit with his current physical strength.
Or to put it another way, he wasn’t sure if he could withstand the strain of a three-fold power explosion.
When it came to the power level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, even a slight difference in power could be exceptional.
A 10% power difference could be enough to dominate the opponent.
A three-fold burst of power—
As long as he could hold on, even if it was only for a brief moment, he could slaughter indiscriminately.
So it’s not surprising that the Heaven-devouring Whale Demon Clan could become one of the overlords of the ancient seas. Its bloodline divine ability was the main reason.
As for why the Heaven-devouring whale demon clan eventually became extinct, this bloodline divine ability surely played a significant role.
The Blood Whale Swallowing Moon Technique might just have been a catalyst.
It’s worthy of being called a pseudo-divine skill.
“It will probably take about eight years for Green Wood Year Ring Skill to reach the cycle of nine revolutions, and the Hundred And Eight Body Refinement
Techniques of the Crocodile Demon might take ten years to reach the eleventh level.”
“The progress of the Golden Cicada Spell is getting slower and slower, reaching the second level is still a long way off.”
“The second level’s explosion of the Blood Whale Swallowing Moon still uncertain if I can bear it. Currently, it has reached its limit.”
” so…”
Su Yu pondered, somewhat hesitant: “Besides the part-time jobs of alchemy, talisman drawing, and making puppet beasts, should I practice any other part-time jobs?”
“Or shall I cultivate another attribute skill?”
He possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root, although they are all lower grade of Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and they are evenly distributed.
That means, he can practice any technique from the five elements.
So far, he has only mastered the wood attribute Green Wood Year Ring Technique. The other four elements are still unutilized.
If he were an ordinary cultivator, Su Yu would certainly not dare to practice the five-element technique and would only focus on one.
But with his proficiency panel, he could easily manage his daily training and stay on track.
Nowadays, it only takes a little more than two hours each day to reach the limit of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill.
The remaining time allocated to the Body Refinement Realm and the Golden Cicada Spell, including the three part-time jobs of alchemy, talisman-drawing and puppet-beast making, wouldn’t take a half day.
He even has half a day left.
In the past, he had not considered cultivating techniques of other spiritual roots due to lack of time and resources.
But now, the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and other techniques are requiring more time to improve.
To enhance his strength further, he should consider techniques for other spiritual roots or other part-time jobs.
Not to mention, dual attribute spells are more potent than single attribute ones.
Like Fifth Grandpa Su Bin, who cultivates both earth and wood attributes.
“Let’s wait and see, and check if there are any good part-time job inheritances or ancient techniques.” Su Yu pushed the numerous thoughts in his mind aside.
There was no need to rush things.
Five days after Dao Body Puppet returned from Yuan Yang Wilderness, Yu Ke’er arrived and brought along her first-grade top-tier tamed Sky Blue Python.
“I was kind of hesitant about if I should let Sky Blue try breaking through to the second grade, because I already possess a second order early stage tamed Double-headed Blood Eagle.”
“Allowing Tianqing to attempt breaking through again carries a high risk of failure. What I mean is, Tianqing might lose control during the process.”
“However, with you present, it should be much safer.”
Yu Ke’er caressed the head of a serpent beast clad in green scale armor. She was full of anticipation.
The Sky Blue Python belonged to the top-tier lineage of second-order beasts, making it a rare sight.
The same was true for the Double-Headed Blood Eagle.
As a younger member of the Yu Family, the fact that she possessed these two tamed beasts with extraordinary bloodlines demonstrated the immense resources of her cultivator family, specialized in beast taming.
After swallowing the Wood-attributed Demon Core Elixir, the Sky Blue Python began its attempt to break through in a secluded room.
Initially, everything was fine. The python lay on the ground quietly, absorbing and refining the medicinal power of the elixir. But when it began the attempt to break through, Yu Ke’er’s expression suddenly shifted.
Almost simultaneously, the python’s calm demeanor changed. A violent demonic aura erupted from its body as it seemed to struggle recklessly to break free from control.
However, in the next moment, the Earthfire Monkey, which had been on standby, immediately rushed forward.
Its two arms firmly seized the Sky Blue Python.
It was as easy as grabbing a small earthworm.
Accompanied by the Black Scale Eagle and Yu Ke’er’s second-order early stage tamed Double-Headed Blood Eagle acting as protectors, the four eagle eyes were watching over the trembling Sky Blue Python.
Only then did Su Yu carefully step forward, using the power of his Green Wood Year Ring Skill to curb the violent aura within the python’s bloodline.
After spending another hour or so like this,
“Boom!”
The Sky Blue Python successfully broke through, evolving into a second-order early stage beast.
Before leaving, Yu Ke’er discreetly left a message as a token of gratitude: “At the Bai Yue Immortal City’s Spirit Palace auction in half a year, our family will auction off two Airy Spirit Fruits.”
The battle between the Yu and Huang Families over the Eight Demon Ridge had caused quite a stir in the past.
The end result was the Yu Family gaining possession of the Airy Spirit Fruit Tree.
The Yu Family’s decision to auction two Airy Spirit Fruits indicated their intention to possibly soothe the fallout of the event.
Gloating over one’s fortune could easily breed resentment and provoke collective anger.
“Airy Spirit Fruit.” The word made Su Yu’s heart flutter slightly. After some consideration, he sent a message regarding this news via the Yunjian Sect’s channel to the Su Family.
If there really was an Airy Spirit Fruit, then the Su Family should send someone to participate in the auction and do their best to win one.
As long as they could secure one, he could start the alchemy process for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
With his current level of Alchemy, even if it was his first attempt at crafting the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate would be more than fifty to sixty percent.
It was worth a try.
On the other hand, Yu Ke’er was busy familiarizing herself with the Sky Blue Python, which had advanced to the early stage of the second order.
She took diligent care of it every day, using beast taming techniques to deepen her connection and control over it.
After a little over a month, the Sky Blue Python shed its skin and two little paws grew on its belly.
Yu Ke’er and the elderly Huang Haimeng stared in shock at the transformed
Sky Blue Python: “A third-order bloodline?!”
In the alleyway, inside the courtyard,
Almost two months after Wu Zhigang’s ‘disappearance’, the True Hall finally sent cultivators to investigate his whereabouts and questioned everyone in the alleyway.
Without exception, everyone stated that Wu Zhigang had not returned since he left that day.
The True Hall couldn’t discover anything and had no choice but to give up.
After all, although Wu Zhigang had joined True Hall, he was merely a first-grade talisman maker. His disappearance didn’t count for much.
Over five months later, Su Zhi appeared in the alley of Bai Yue Immortal City, bringing not only the Spirit Stones required by his family to bid for the Airy Spirit Fruit but also a piece of bad news..
