With ease, the Puppet Daoist managed to capture alive a second-grade intermediate Cloud Tiger.
Afterward, the Puppet Daoist fed it a full dose of second-grade sedative herbs and put it, along with its two cubs, into a Beast Taming Bag before turning to leave.
However, the Puppet Daoist failed to notice the blood-red plant growing at the end of the cavern.
Two days later, the Puppet Daoist handed the Beast Taming Bag to Su Yu, and instead of leaving, he was once again stored within Su Yu’s Dantian for nourishment.
The business at the Eight Demon Ridge market was gradually dwindling. With more shops and vendors, the revenue had decreased by more than ten times. Henceforth, Li Pingchang alone can take care of it.
The Puppet Daoist could then take a good period of seclusion, absorbing the materials that it had collected from the Moonless Black Market.
Seven days after Su Yu handed over the Cloud Tiger and her cubs to Yu Ke’er, she successfully tamed the mother Cloud Tiger and advanced to a second-grade intermediate Beast Tamer.
The next day, Yu Ke’er noticed something peculiar about the Cloud Tiger mother beast. Its intelligence seemed to be extraordinarily high, capable of understanding how to cultivate, making it nearly indistinguishable from a human, save for its inability to understand human language.
This stunned Su Yu, Yu Ke’er, and Yu Qianqing.
If it could speak, wouldn’t that make it a demon of the Demon Clan?
A demon from the Demon Clan who actively cultivates is a far cry from a Demon Beast that only cultivates instinctively!
Besides, the lineage of the Demon Clan is far superior to ordinary Demon Beasts.
This is akin to the difference between a talented member of the Human Clan with an Earth Spirit Root and an ordinary cultivator with a low-grade Spirit
Root.
Looking at Yu Ke’er, Su Yu spoke with a hint of delight: “It seems like you will soon become a second-grade superior Beast Tamer.”
Once Yu Ke’er had successfully advanced to a second-grade intermediate Beast
Tamer, Su Yu began to wholeheartedly forge the ‘Twin-Winged Thunder Serpent’ Puppet Beast. In his spare time, he would research second-grade intermediate pills and talismans, leading a fulfilling life.
Half a year later.
As Su Yu’s ‘Twin-Winged Thunder Serpent’ Puppet Beast was nearing completion, from the neighboring Hundred Treasure Cave Mansion came a second-grade intermediate Spirit Plant Master, ‘Herbalist Zhiyan’ to visit.
Being a Spirit Plant Master is an inconspicuous occupation among the cultivators, Su Yu’s initial learning was equivalent to being a Spirit Plant apprentice.
However, what he learned back then was the basics to become an Alchemist.
A second-grade intermediate Spirit Plant Master is considered a formidable individual.
As long as there is a seed, she could essentially nurture any second-grade intermediate and below Spirit Plant. She even has the means to ‘accelerate’ the growth of some rare Spirit Plants.
Of course, such speeding up would only be within reasonable limits, it requires a lot of effort, and isn’t achieved casually.
Herbalist Zhiyan appeared like any ordinary middle-aged woman, with a fair face that could be rated as six or seven points. Though she was not as beautiful as Yu Ke’er, she carried an ethereal aura about her, as well as a special charm mature women possess.
This was Su Yu’s first encounter with a cultivator from the Spirit Plant Master profession.
Inside the mansion’s main hall.
Su Yu and Yu Ke’er received Herbalist Zhiyan. Butler Yu Linfeng served her Spiritual Tea and left respectfully.
Without drinking the tea, Herbalist Zhiyan looked at Yu Ke’er and congratulated with a smile: “I heard that Fairy Yu has become a second-grade intermediate Beast Tamer? Congratulations, Taoist Friend.”
Su Yu and Yu Ke’er both frowned a little. They hadn’t told anyone about Yu Ke’er’s promotion to a second-grade intermediate Beast Tamer.
Seeing their response, Herbalist Zhiyan explained with a smile: “This was information from the Sky Empty Palace. When I asked them for suitable Beast Tamer candidates, they recommended Fairy Yu. Coincidentally, we are also neighbors, so here I am to pay a visit.”
Su Yu asked with a frown: “Does Taoist Friend Zhiyan have some business?”
Herbalist Zhiyan nodded and said: “The Moonless Black Market’s auction, which happens only once every eight years, is due to take place in about half a year. I heard this auction will be on an unprecedented scale, with many treasures expected to appear.”
“Therefore, before the auction starts, I intend to form a team with two friends
from the Hundred Treasure Mountain and make a trip into the Great Moon
Ridge.”
“Have you ever heard of the ‘Mystic Immortal Creeper’, a Spirit Plant? It’s an auxiliary material for refining Sky High Pills. Coincidentally, I know a place where Mystic Immortal Creeper grows.”
Saying so, Herbalist Zhiyan watched Su Yu and Yu Ke’er’s expressions. Upon seeing a slight surprise on their faces, she couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Herbalist Zhiyan continued: “If we can manage to get some gains from this, coupled with the massive auction at the Black Market in half a year, should we encounter anything desirable, we can bid for it, right?”
“So, Fairy Yu…”
Su Yu interrupted her, “I’m sorry, Taoist Friend Zhiyan, we are indeed interested in the Mystic Immortal Creeper, but we cannot spare the time at the moment. We appreciate your kind intentions.”
Herbalist Zhiyan frowned slightly at Su Yu’s interruption. She didn’t reply, instead, she turned her eyes to Yu Ke’er.
In her view, Su Yu, a second layer Foundation Establishment cultivator with a second-grade inferior Alchemist title, didn’t hold much weight. So her previous words were all addressed to Yu Ke’er, the second-grade intermediate Beast Tamer.
However, facing her gaze, Yu Ke’er simply smiled and said, “He calls the shots.”
Herbalist Zhiyan’s eyebrows twitched as she looked at Su Yu’s slightly mocking smile. After pondering for a moment, she stood up and said, “Fairy Yu should consider it. My invitation is still valid for ten days.”
“If we can find the Mystic Immortal Creeper, our returns will not be small..”
