Chapter 614: 196 Promotion to Elder, Guarding Duty_3
What surprised Su Yu was that beyond Taoist Tianyu, his newly inducted apprentice niece, Fan Xiao, was also present.
Taoist Tianyu called Su Yu over, saying, “Recently, there has been unrest in Duke Dragon Palace, with mutual attacks with Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain, which has affected some of our celestial cities.”
He slightly furrowed his brows, “The mansion master plans to send you and Xiao Xiao to Black Prison Immortal City to solidify the surrounding cultivation towns, markets, and resource lands, to avoid things degenerating into chaos.”
After a pause, Taoist Tianyu looked at Su Yu and said, “You’ve already attained the fourth rank as an Alchemist, Talisman Master, and Array Master. While your cultivation has yet to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, the master plans to promote you to the position of an Interior Mansion Elder.”
“This time, you will be going to the Black Prison Immortal City in the capacity of an Elder, to quell the turmoil.”
Su Yu was slightly taken aback, but not surprised. Although he was not yet a ‘Nascent Soul’, any of his cultivation skills was equivalent to the status of a True Monarch.
He was more than qualified to assume the position of an Interior Mansion Elder within the earth immortals’ mansion, it was time to serve the immortal sect.
In the celestial mansion, the stage of being an Inner Mansion Disciple was the most liberating, with plenty of time to cultivate besides daily tasks, and by accomplishing various tasks, acquire contribution values and exchange them for resources in the affairs place.
This favored the growth of the sect’s disciples and prodigies, but the early benefits have to be compensated for after a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm or becoming an elder.
His mission to guard the Black Prison Immortal City was completely normal.
But going with the newly inaugurated Daozi, Fan Xiao?
Just thinking about it gave Su Yu a headache, not because she was his female apprentice niece, but because of her status in the sect. To him, this status was a source of trouble.
However, it was clear he had no choice. The master had ordered them both to guard the Black Prison Immortal City; even Taoist Tianyu couldn’t and wouldn’t refuse.
Taking the new Elder Identity Token from his master and changing into the distinctive elder’s clothes, Su Yu accepted this task.
“Master, I plan to take Taixu and the Sky Thunder Rat Monster Group with me,” said Su Yu, who went to the affairs palace and received a few thousand celestial mansion Beast Taming tokens, ready to distribute them amongst the Sky Thunder Rats.
At that time, he would allow them to spread around the Black Prison Immortal City. In case anything were to happen, he would be the first to know through the Sky Thunder Rat Monster Group!
It was an intelligence system that could be put into operation.
Before leaving, Su Yu managed to fleece his master out of a set of superior fourth-rank arrays, almost depleting his master’s resources.
Fortunately, he left behind the bronze ancient lamp and the low-grade demonic artifact, the Slaughter Luo blade, as compensation, or else there would be nothing left to fleece in the future.
“This way, even if something happens, we should be able to ensure safety.” Su Yu pondered if there were any oversights, and when he was sure that every aspect was covered, he and Fan Xiao made their way to the Black Prison Immortal City through the teleportation formation at Earth Ridge Immortal City.
The Black Prison Immortal City was one of over twenty large-scale immortal cities within the territory of the mansion of the earth immortals, Su Yu was no stranger to it, having read some of its events and once visited it.
Luo Qianyu had also served in a townfall under Black Prison Immortal City’s command.
But this time it was different. He had to maintain order here for at least twenty years, accompanied by a beautiful Daozi apprentice niece.
Both Daozi and beautiful fairy girls were sources of trouble, and Su Yu could only pray in his heart, “I hope no trouble comes!”
