Chapter 61: 061 Auction_l
Translator: 549690339
The perfect state of a set of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients can, on average, refine three to four pills.
A regular-quality Foundation Establishment Pill values around eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones in Bai Yue Immortal City.
The price of a Foundation Establishment Pill with inferior quality goes slightly lower.
However, this is just a price. Even in Bai Yue Immortal City, it might take ten to twenty years to obtain one or two Foundation Establishment Pills of standard quality.
It’s hard for you to buy it, not only due to the high price, but it also depends on your destiny.
Whether you can grab one even adds to the challenge.
Of course, the price of the Spirit Fruit, as one of the core materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, is not going to be too high, despite the rarity of the Foundation Establishment Pill itself. The Su Family offered Su Zhi with six thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
The Spirit Fruit is one of their targets. If possible, they will check if there’s a chance to buy other missing core materials at the auction
Su Yu invited Su Zhi into the courtyard and they sat face to face at a stone table under a tree, boiling tea around the stove.
Looking at Su Yu’s environment, Su Zhi’s eyes revealed a trace of envy, and said, “If the sect didn’t have rules against it, I’d have liked to stay at the Bai Yue Immortal City’s sect outpost.”
“In this way, finding a little shelter for me, not having to deal with any external matters, would be perfect,”
With a hint of helplessness, Su Yu looked at her and replied, “Sis, I am not ignoring the family.”
“I’m always on the lookout for any news or letters from the family.”
Su Zhi sighed lightly and said, “I’m not saying you neglect the family by being here. It’s just— I feel a bit tired.”
“What happened?” Su Yu asked with a frown.
Su Zhi sighed slightly before saying, “Before I came to Bai Yue Immortal City, the Sect Master had visited Si Si and me, hoping we would agree to marriage alliances with Jiang Family and Huang Family, in order to maintain the stability of the sect’s domain.” Su Yu’s face turned upon hearing this.
An alliance—
The Sect Master of the esteemed Yunjian Sect, is actually pushing two female cultivators in the Foundation Establishment realm to agree to a marriage alliance with two cultivation families!?
Does he no longer care about his dignity?
“What a damn despicable shameless man! Just absurd!” Su Yu laughed and cursed angrily.
Hearing about this, Su Yu knew that the Yunjian Sect was on its way out. The sect master is even considering currying favor with two simple cultivation families under his reign.
Such a sect won’t survive for long. Su Yu’s heart is glad that he didn’t join it after passing the disciple’s trial.
Otherwise, it would truly disgust him.
Immediately thereafter, Su Yu asked, “What about the First Elder? What was your sect’s First Elder saying?”
Su Zhi replied, “The First Elder had a big quarrel with the Sect Master. Now, the atmosphere in the sect has completely changed. Even the external disciples are forced to take sides.’
While talking, Su Zhi massaged her brow, feeling a bit weary, and said, “With the First Elder and Senior Sister Luo around, the sect could not coerce us.”
“But not long ago, the Jiang and Huang families jointly interfered with the affairs of the Bai Family in Maple City.”
“The Bai family has already taken back the resource point we had captured before, with the support of those two families.”
“This is just the beginning.” “Next time, perhaps they will go after the Purple Gold Spirit Mine.”
“Unless, we choose to surrender.”
Su Yu’s face changed again—Jiang and Huang families joining forces. What they’re interested in is not the Bai Family’s resource point in Maple City or the Purple Gold Spirit Mine, but the Su Family and the Chen Family.
To coerce Su family and Chen family to submit.
Hiss.
It was fine before knowing. But now that Su Yu was aware of this news, he felt an unprecedented pressure on his heart, making him a bit breathless. It was hard to imagine how much pressure Su Zhi and Fifth Grandpa Su Bin had been under to sustain the family.
There was silence for a moment.
A fierce light flickered in Su Yu’s eyes as he said, “Sister, we can’t miss this auction’s Spirit Fruit!”
The cultivation world always valued strength. It was normal and common for the powerful to prey on the weak.
The current situation of the Su Family and the Chen Family was still fine. They were supported by the First Elder faction of the Yunjian Sect.
The Jiang Family and Huang Family were more or less wary of this, and did not dare to act recklessly.
In such a situation, the Su Family had no choice but to improve their power as much as possible.
Only with power could the Su Family have the room to speak and choose.
Su Zhi nodded slightly and said, “However, after winning the Spirit Fruit, there are still two core materials that we lack. We also need to find a second-stage Alchemist who can make Foundation Establishment Pills.”
Su Yu said, “We only lack one, the Pure Monster Core. I have the Ice Lotus.”
Su Zhi was surprised when she heard this. Ice Lotus was also rare. She did not expect Su Yu, who had not been in Bai Yue Immortal City for long, to have collected it.
At this time, Su Yu added, “As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, I can refine it.
Su Zhi’s eyes widened, and she looked at Su Yu with surprise and joy, “You, you’ve become a second-rank lower class Alchemist?”
Su Yu nodded, and Su Zhi joyfully said, “Good, very good. If father and the others knew, they would certainly be very happy.”
Perhaps knowing that Su Yu was a second-rank lower class Alchemist, she was happy. Su Zhi took Su Yu out to buy some Spiritual Wine, and came back to cook some delicious food. The siblings had a fine celebration.
By the end of the feast, Su Zhi, who was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, was a little drunk. She leaned against the stone table, a lantern shone obliquely on her chest, she was half-drunk, and murmured something, her face flushed, an image that stirred people’s tenderness.
On the contrary, Su Yu was okay even though he felt a little dizzy.
But his Body Refinement Realm at the tenth level made his body very strong, so he could handle it.
Looking at the drunk Su Zhi, Su Yu shook his head lightly. He carried her back to the room he had prepared in the morning to let her rest well.
Back in the courtyard, Su Yu poured himself another drink. He looked up at the starry sky, his eyes tremendously sharp.
Su Yu murmured, “Jiang Family, Huang Family… just wait, I have the time.” “And the Bai Family from Maple City—ha, still dare to bounce around.”
Lastly, Su Yu drank away all the pressure and went back to his room to rest.
As the auction at the Bai Yue Immortal City draws nearer, more and more cultivators have arrived, making the streets much busier.
Su Zhi was temporarily staying in Su Yu’s yard. When she found out that a pair of cultivator sisters lived across from Su Yu, she specifically went to visit, but was utterly disappointed when she found out they were indeed cultivator sisters.
On the contrary, Lan Xi and Lan Gong sisters were quite shocked.
God, behind Taoist Friend Su stood a sister at Foundation Establishment? How terrifying.
Thus, the way Lan Xi and Lan Gong sisters looked at Su Yu became more passionate. Their attitude towards him was more respectful and flattering.
Half a month later.
Su Yu and Su Zhi arrived at the Spirit Palace located at the center of the inner market. Using the token of the Yunjian Sect, they entered and got a small box on the second floor.
Looking down from the small box on the second floor, the auction hall below was vast. Even though it required at least a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones to enter, there were still hundreds to thousands of cultivators below.
Soon after, the auction officially began.
The opening item was the legacy of a second-rank lower class Alchemist. The starting price was a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Ultimately, after a contest, it was purchased by an old man in the first floor’s hall for 2,600 lower-grade Spirit Stones.
After that, there were many miscellaneous items auctioned. Some items caught Su Yu and Su Zhi’s attention, but neither of them made a move.
Until a second rank mid-stage earth attribute Monster Core appeared, Su Yu’s face lit up.
The most critical material for the Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast, he had it!
