Su Dajun said, “The Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain has already lost a
Foundation Establishment Realm ancestor. Although the power of the Huang Family is formidable, now that the Chen Family and Su Family have joined forces, both families are not to be underestimated.’
“Furthermore, the Huang Family and the Bai Family aren’t particularly close, and although the Purple Gold Sand Spirit Mine holds some value, it’s not enough to provoke the Huang Family to confront the Chen Family and our clan regardless of the consequences.”
Upon careful consideration, Su Yu found this to be true.
The power of the Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain was potent, but it didn’t mean they could recklessly challenge other cultivator families.
Doing so would draw the apprehension ot other cultivator families.
And if the strength of the Huang Family were severely damaged, the resources they occupied would be up for grabs.
Once other forces start coveting their resources, the Huang Family might even face the risk of annihilation.
Losing a Foundation Establishment cultivator was already a severe blow to the Huang Family.
The world of cultivation was never short of conflicts, especially among cultivator families.
But if these conflicts are viewed in the context of the lengthy lifespan of a cultivator, it would be evident that the conflicts are not grave and usually ended on a non-violent note.
Unless they were entirely confident, they would never ‘go for broke’.”
Take the previous example of the Su Family and the Lin Family.
Why did the Su Family not settle their disputes with the Lin Family before the Fifth Elder Su Bin reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Because at the time, the power of the Lin Family relative to the Su Family was on par.
Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator, if the Su Family were to forcefully confront the Lin family, even if they won, it would be a loss as they would suffer heavy casualties!
They only waited until the Fifth Elder Su Bin had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm before taking action against the Lin Family, annihilating their entire clan.
There will be revenge, but the time has yet to come.
Only with enough caution could one survive in the world of cultivation.
This applies to individual cultivators as well as to sects and cultivator families.
Because the arrogant individuals and powers, even if they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow.
Clearly.
The Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain are cautious. They didn’t involve themselves further in the affairs of the Bai Family of Maple City or the Purple Gold Sand Spirit Mine.”
Both the Chen Family and the Su Family merely seized one resource point from the Bai Family and didn’t press the Bai Family any further.
After all, the Bai Family still has a third stage Foundation Establishment Realm ancestor who could live for another thirty to forty years.
Coupled with the Bai Family’s deep-seated power, there’s virtually no hope for the two families to obliterate the Bai Family.
They could only advance steadily.
They would wait until the Bai Family’s third stage Foundation Establishment Realm ancestor dies, until the Bai Family had no successor, only then would be the time for the Chen and Su families to completely take revenge and obliterate the Bai Family.
Su Dajun soon led the team away from Yun Mountain Market and returned to River City.
Su Yu continued to focus on researching lower-quality second-ranked elixirs. Apart from the ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills, the collection of materials for other lower-quality second-ranked elixirs was not difficult.
First enhance his own lower-quality second-ranked alchemy skill level, and when he acquires enough Foundation Establishment Pill materials in the future, he can then try refining Foundation Establishment Pill.
He himself didn’t need any Foundation Establishment Pills.
But if he could refine them and had enough Foundation Establishment Pill materials, then after refining, using them to enhance the strength of the Su Family would be quite good.
Alternatively, if he could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, then he would quickly be able to gain a foothold in Baiyue Immortal City.
Foundation Establishment Pills were precious enough for him to exchange for many resources and materials.
A year later.
Chen Sisi sent a letter saying she had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. After some time in closed-door cultivation, she would choose to station herself at the Yunjian Sect’s stronghold in Baiyue Immortal City.
As for the breakthrough banquet for the Foundation Establishment Realm, she decided against it and merely sent letters notifying her friends and fellow Daoists.
The letter was quite long, with Chen Sisi sharing a lot of things.
However, everything boiled down to one final sentence: take care, I’ll be heading to Baiyue Immortal City first. If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me.
Everyone knew that Su Yu was rather thick-skinned.
Naturally, he wouldn’t be polite.
He immediately wrote a letter detailing all the second-grade materials he needed,.asking Chen Sisi to look out for them or collect them on his behalf.
He had other rewards to offer.
After writing it, he promptly sent it to the Yunjian Sect’s base.
“The core materials for the Foundation Establishment pill for our family are still three kinds short. The materials for refining the second-grade inferior puppet beast Dragon Crocodile are more than halfway lacking.”
“I don’t know how much Su Zhi and Chen Sisi would be able to collect for me.
Su Yu slowly inhaled, sighing lightly.
The second-grade inferior elixir materials are not difficult to collect and refine, but the second-grade inferior puppet beast materials are both expensive and difficult to collect.
To refine a second-grade inferior puppet beast, he estimates that he will have to spend at least five to six thousand low-grade spirit stones.
And the second-grade inferior puppet beast already requires mid-grade spirit stones to drive.
So, he also needs to exchange for some mid-grade spirit stones.
Apart from the puppet beast, progress on the second-grade talisman is also slow, and the difficulty in creating a second-grade talisman is more than he had imagined.
However.
If the old man from the Heavenly Book Pavilion knew that Su Yu, a mere seventh-grade Qi Refinement cultivator, was thinking of creating a new second-grade inferior talisman in order to advance to a second-grade inferior talisman master, without any talisman master inheritance, he would probably be stupefied.
This is damn more difficult than a first-grade high-quality talisman master wanting to challenge the refinement of a second-grade inferior perfect quality talisman!
Days of peaceful cultivation always pass quickly.
Su Yu’s daily life in the Pill Pavilion remains unchanged.
Every day he practices the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, 108 Crocodile Demon Body Refinement Techniques, Golden Cicada Method, followed by using the almost ethereal state of the Golden Cicada Method to comprehend alchemy, talisman, and puppetry techniques.
Finally, after more than two years, Su Yu succeeded in creating a second-grade inferior talisman using the ancient incomplete Fire Thunder Talisman as a template.
He named it Thunder Fire Talisman.
He had never seen what a real Fire Thunder Talisman looked like.
However, the Thunder Fire Talisman that he successfully painted out looked like a lightning whip falling from the sky.
It could destroy a small hilltop a hundred feet high with a single strike.
Shattering half a mountain.
Su Yu, successfully promoted to a second-grade inferior talisman master. At the same time.
Under Su Yu’s careful guidance, a first-grade intermediate alchemist named Su Gutong, who was nearly seventy years old from the Pill Pavilion, finally advanced to a first-grade high-quality alchemist.
And Su Rui’an also became a newly promoted first-grade intermediate alchemist.
They did not waste Su Yu’s efforts.
However, the collection of materials for the second-grade inferior puppet beast Dragon Crocodile was slower, with no news of several core materials.
This made Su Yu think about leaving Yunshan Market for the first time and heading to Bai Yue Xian City.
However, before Su Yu could prepare to leave, a shocking news shook the
entire realm ot Yunjian Sect.
The Yu Family of Black Rock Mountain was at war with the Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain at the Eight Demon Ridge.
The reason was the discovery of a spirit plant of a fruit tree of Kong Ling, a core ingredient for refining foundation establishment pills.
In order to fight for that single spirit plant, the Yu Family and Huang Family went all out.
After hearing this news, Su Yu was slightly moved: “A Spirit Tree of Kong Ling fruit?”
This was one of the two most core materials among the six core materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, with the other being a pure second-grade Monster Beast core.
The Su Family has not been able to find any news about these two materials.
I didn’t expect that there was a Kong Ling fruit tree in the Eight Demon Ridge! No wonder the two major cultivation families would go to war over it!
