The person who came forward was none other than Chen Sisi. Since the banquet after Su Zhi’s successful Foundation Establishment, Su Yu hadn’t seen her again.
When Su Qingyi betrayed the Su Family and joined the demonic path, Chen Sisi broke off her relationship with him, sending a message to the Su Family to announce the termination of their Dao companionship.
Two people accompanied Chen Sisi during her visit, one of whom was the white-haired Second Elder of the Chen Family.
The other was a black-haired man who appeared to be middle-aged and was at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Chen Sisi’s cultivation had also reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Seeing Su Yu, Chen Sisi smiled at him and gave a slight nod. “Brother Yu.”
“You know the Second Elder.” Chen Sisi pointed to the other man who looked rough and was nearly nine feet tall. “This is the Fourth Elder of our Chen Family, Chen Kaiyong.”
“Nice to meet you all.” Su Yu greeted them. “I wonder what brings you here?”
Chen Sisi said, “Brother Yu, my family would like to order two of the puppet beasts masterfully crafted by Sister Su Zhi.”
Su Yu frowned slightly and after looking at Chen Sisi for a moment, he said,
“Sure, it’s two thousand lower-grade spirit stones per piece.”
This price was not cheap, the prices of a high-grade magic artifact were around this range.
However, the elderly Second Elder of the Chen Family showed a slight smile and said, “Good, thank you for your kindness, young Su.”
A top-level, top-grade puppet beast of the first order was not something you could easily come by.
Especially if we’re talking about ordering two of them.
If these were auctioned off at some bazaars in Bai Yue Fairy City, each would probably fetch at least three thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
These are top-level fighting entities in the Qi Refinement Realm that can be passed down through the generations.
With only the expense of spirit stones, they could provide services to the family generation after generation.
The Second Elder of the Chen Family understood this, which was why he thanked Su Yu for his generosity.
In between his words.
It meant that the Chen Family remembered Su Yu’s favor and the Chen Family would not he ungrateful.
Four thousand lower-grade spirit stones were immediately handed over to Su Yu by the Chen Family, their vulgar display of wealth caught Su Yu’s attention for a moment.
It seemed, that the Chen Family had accumulated quite a wealth over the years by keeping possession of the purple-gold sand spirit mine.
Regarding the puppet beasts, the Chen Family agreed to collect them in a year’s time.
Afterwards, Chen Sisi and the others were ready to leave.
But Su Yu kept Chen Sisi behind and chatted with her for a while.
Su Yu said, “Congratulations on reaching the ninth layer of Qi Refinement
Realm. Any thoughts on when you will be establishing your foundation?”
Looking into Su Yu’s clear, pure eyes devoid of impurity, Chen Sisi sighed softly, “If all goes well, maybe in the next year or two.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu laughed and said, “If you need any help, feel free to ask.”
Of course, when I say help, I mean things like pills and talismans.”
If he could use some pills and talismans as an investment in a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as long as Chen Sisi successfully establishes her foundation, he would be the one to gain in the end.
Just like now, he sometimes needed some second-order materials for his alchemy, talisman making, puppet beast crafting, or body refinement cultivation. He had to ask Su Zhi to help him collect those materials.
Apart from their blood ties, it’s the gratitude for the times Su Yu helped Su Zhi previously that made Su Zhi willing to help him.
If it weren’t for Su Zhi’s help, it would be quite difficult for him to collect these materials on his own.
The marketplace in Yun Mountain was too small.
When he arrived here over a decade ago, it seemed pretty big.
But after staying here for a while and getting a full understanding of the nearby cultivation world, Su Yu realized that the Yun Mountain Market was actually quite small.
The biggest marketplace closest to the Yunjian Sect was Bai Yue Fairy City.
And the scale of Bai Yue Fairy City was several times, even ten times the size of Yun Mountain Market.
It was said that there was a third-order spirit vein below Bai Yue Fairy City.
Deep within Bai Yue Fairy City, there were caves for rent situated atop the blessed land of the third-order spirit vein.
Therefore, in Bai Yue Fairy City, there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators, second-order alchemists, talisman makers, and so on.
There were even cultivators who had reached the pseudo pill realm, or third-order alchemists in the city.
This was how vast the difference was between Yun Mountain Market and Bai
Yue Fairy City.
If Chen Sisi also managed to successfully establish her foundation, then having one more Foundation Establishment connection would bring numerous benefits to him, Su Yu.
After saying thanks, Chen Sisi left with her fellow clan members.
Then, Su Yu began to gather materials to create two of the previous first-order top-grade puppet beasts.
The materials for each one cost roughly around nine hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
He could craft one in two to three months.
Two puppet beasts could bring him a net profit of more than two thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
Meanwhile.
Su Yu was also collecting materials for a lower-grade second-order pill for Foundation Establishment, the equivalent of the ‘Qi Refining Pill’ for Ju Qi cultivators.
This was a very common type of second-order pill and its materials were relatively easier to collect.
However, it took Su Yu half a year and ten sets of materials to successfully refine a batch of lower-grade second-order Kaiyuan Pills. It was not easy to refine a second-order pill with a cultivation base of seventh level in Qi Refining
Realm.
Half a year passed.
The two puppet beasts had already been crafted by Su Yu.
While the success rate of his second-order lower-grade Kaiyuan Pills had increased to 30-40%, reaching a proficiency level of 32%.
He successfully advanced to a lower-grade second-order Alchemist.
For this, he spent half of the profit from the two puppet beasts.
A year later.
Chen Sisi came to the Elixir Pavilion in the marketplace and took the two puppet beasts.
It was not until a month later, when Su Dajun, the family person in charge of transporting spiritual medicines, arrived, that Su Yu learned about the situation of his family and the Chen Family.
Su Dajun said, “The clan has one of the puppet beasts of the first-order top-grade previously refined by Elder Su, and the Chen family purchased two. Adding that up, it makes it three top-grade puppet beasts of the first-order. They are so powerful that anyone not in the Foundation Establishment Realm would have a hard time damaging them.”
“With the ferocity of these three puppet beasts, our family allied with the Chen Family to attack a resource field owned by the Bai Family in Maple City.”
“The last remaining ancestor of the Bai Family, who was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, was held off by our combined forces. The three puppet beasts and the elders from both our families teamed up, causing the cultivators of the Bai Family to be defeated and flee.”
“In the battle, the Bai Family paid a heavy price, losing two ninth level Qi Refinement Realm elders and nearly thirty cultivators.”
“Now, we have captured that resource field, and the Bai Family of Maple City has retreated with heavy losses.”
As he relayed these events, Su Dajun’s voice was filled with excitement and impatience.
The Bai Family of Maple City had feuded with their Su Family for many years.
Back when the Lin Family wanted to seize the Su Family’s spirit vein blessed land, the Bai Family of Maple City had assisted the Lin Family.
Later on, with the issues surrounding the Chen Family, the Bai Family of Maple City caused the Su Family to lose many clansmen.
Su Qingyi even lost an arm because of the Bai Family of Maple City, causing his nature to twist, betraying the family, and plunging into the demonic path.
These blood feuds, one after another, were high time for the Su and Chen families to settle accounts with the Bai Family of Maple City!
Upon hearing this, Su Yu was delighted as well. Defeating the Bai Family of Maple City and gaining a resource field was indeed good news.
What goes around comes around.
Once, the Bai Family of Maple City was rampant, oppressing their Su Family and the Chen Family.
Now, it was time for them to pay up!
However, after his rejoicing, Su Yu thought of something, and his expression turned worried.. “What about the Huang Family of Guanlan Mountain?”
