This news stoked the greed of many forces, as it was not just a single Spirit Fruit, but an entire Spirit Fruit tree that was at stake.
With this tree, there would be no shortage of this crucial ingredient for crafting Foundation Establishment elixirs in the future.
Some forces tried to interfere, but by the time they made their move, the battle between the Yu Family and the Huang Family had already ended.
The Yu Family had managed to snatch the Spirit Fruit tree from the Huang Family.
This made the Yu Family the focus of attention for a moment, and the envy of countless cultivators and cultivator families.
Su Yu, who had learned about the Yu Family’s acquisition of a Spirit Fruit tree, didn’t have much of an opinion on the matter, but he had a feeling that the Yu Family drawing so much attention might not be a good thing, especially with the frequent appearances of demonic and calamity cultivators in the vicinity.
However, this had nothing to do with Su Yu.
The collection of materials for the second-ranked low-grade Dragon Crocodile puppet beast was a bit slow, so he planned to return to his family soon and prepare to head to Bai Yue Immortal City.
Of course.
Before leaving, Su Yu needed to stockpile a few second-ranked low-grade Thunderfire Talismans.
Otherwise, he would not feel secure.
In the next six months, Su Yu spent roughly a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones to buy twenty sets of talisman paper and monster blood suitable for drawing Thunderfire Talismans.
Out of the twenty sets of materials, he succeeded in crafting eight Thunderfire Talismans.
Elixir Pavilion.
Su Yu looked at Su Gutong, who had a slight hint of white in his hair, and said, “Undle Gutong, you will temporarily take care of the Elixir Pavilion. I’m going back to the family for a bit.”
“Who will manage the Elixir Pavilion in the future will depend on the family’s decision.”
Su Rui’an couldn’t help asking, “Elder, are you really leaving the Cloud
Mountain Market?”
Su Yu did not hesitate and nodded slightly, saying, “The Cloud Mountain Market is too small, and we are under the pressure of Yunjian Sect here. Other than the disciples of Yunjian Sect, it is very hard for anyone else here to benefit.
“Only Bai Yue Immortal City has more of what we need.”
Su Gutong, Su Rui’an, and the other members of the Su Family looked at Su Yu as he talked about Bai Yue Immortal City, a sense of longing evident in their eyes.
Without lingering too much with Su Gutong and the others, Su Yu ensured everything was in order before he chose to leave.
He came here as a youth, and although Su Yu was now forty, he still felt like a youngster in his heart, with a young man’s demeanor and mindset.
Having stayed in the Cloud Mountain Market for twenty years, Su Yu stopped his spirit horse, looking back at the market one last time.
“Let’s go!”
“Hahahaha!”
With a few hearty laughs reflecting his carefree mood, Su Yu drove his spirit horse and quickly left.
In the market.
An old man, dozing off behind the counter of the Book Pavilion, suddenly woke up. His divine sense probed and saw the figure of Su Yu, who was leaving the market.
“Huh? Is this lad leaving?” The old man muttered to himself, looking somewhat hesitant.
“Forget it, I’ll give him a helping hand.”
In the end, the old man sighed slightly.
Throughout these years, he found Su Yu the most agreeable.
With a casual wave from his hand, a jade slip appeared. But in the next moment, with another wave from the old man, the jade slip disappeared in an instant.
Su Yu, who had already left Cloud Mountain Market and was more than ten miles away, was driving his spirit horse towards the Su Family.
Suddenly, a black spot came from the sky and hit him on the head without any warning.
The impact nearly knocked Su Yu off his horse.
Su Yu grasped the fallen jade slip, his pupils dilating. He scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, but couldn’t detect any figures.
He didn’t understand how the jade slip appeared.
Shh.
Keep moving!
Su Yu shivered and hastily spurred his horse into a gallop, not stopping until he had covered several hundred miles and hidden himself in a barren forest.
“What the hell is this?” Su Yu took out the jade slip, his brows furrowed.
This thing had hit him square in the forehead, causing a lump to form on his otherwise sturdy body, honed by the 108 styles of the ninth level of the Body
Refinement Realm.
This was truly bizarre!
After hesitating for a long while.
Su Yu cautiously probed the jade slip with his Divine Sense. The next moment, a complete inheritance of a second-tier top-grade talisman maker was poured into his mind.
It wasn’t until more than an hour later that Su Yu recovered from the massive influx of information, dumbfounded.
This!
A second-tier top-grade talisman maker’s inheritance just fell from the sky?
Moreover.
This inheritance wasn’t simple at all, it was from an ancient cultivator sect called the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.
On it, there was a complete record of the three broken ancient talismans he had previously scooped up from the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion-
Suddenly, an idea struck Su Yu. He thought of the old man in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
“Could it be that this is…”
Su Yu looked back at Yunshan Market, his face a tad complex. Previously, he had been firmly denied a talisman maker’s inheritance by the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Now, just as he was about to leave Yunshan Market, a second-tier top-grade ancient talisman maker’s inheritance had landed on his forehead.
He didn’t believe that this was a simple stroke of luck.
He bowed in the direction of Yunshan Market, “I will remember today’s fortunate encounter.
Then, Su Yu got back on his horse and continued his journey back to the Cang Mountain of River City.
Three days later.
The blessed land of Cang Mountain, River City.
Su Yu returned after a long time only to see a thriving sight within Cang Mountain. Close to the blessed lands, the Su Family had opened up field after field for growing Spirit Rice.
The original farmlands, meanwhile, were further developed. With the nourishment of Spiritual Energy from the first-tier Spirit Vein, even a bit farther places were good for planting Spiritual Medicine.
The Su Family’s estate within the blessed land had expanded considerably, with human figures everywhere in the fields.
More than twenty years ago, the Su Family only had just over a hundred cultivators.
But now, the number of cultivators in the Su Family was nearing one hundred and fifty.
In addition to nearly twenty new cultivators from the family, there were also more than thirty cultivators of other surnames who had come to join the Su Family.
However, as soon as Su Yu entered the compound, he could sense a heavy atmosphere.
A moment later in the Su Family Hall.
The Family Head Su Peng, First Elder Su Yun, Second Elder Su Chang, Third Elder Su Ruosu, and Fourth Elder Su Jingbang were all there.
“You’re back?” Su Peng was starting to show signs of age.
He was already over seventy years old. Even though he had practiced the Wutong Qingmu Jue of the Family Head, which prolonged his life compared to the ordinary cultivators at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, at his age, he was at the peak of his years.
In a few more years, Su Peng’s hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would be extremely slim.
“Family head, master, Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder.” Su Yu greeted each of them.
Then, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on in the family again?”
“Sigh.”
Su Peng sighed and said, “We received a letter from the Jiang Family. Their eldest son wants to marry Xiao Zhi as his main wife and asked us to persuade Xiao Zhi to accept.”
Su Yu’s face changed slightly, the Jiang Family?
For a moment, he was a little baffled. Why would the Jiang Family approach the
Su Family? And why would they be interested in Su Zhi who was still in the
Yunjian Sect?
Su Yu frowns, “Does this mean that the Jiang Family is putting pressure on us? Are they trying to force Sister Zhi to accept this marriage?”
Su Yun, who had become the First Elder, spoke softly, “The eldest son of the
Jiang Family, has a rather close relationship with the sect master of the
Yunjian Sect.”
“And Xiao Zhi is considered to be part of the First Elder’s faction in the Yunjian
Sect.”
Infighting within the sect!
Su Yu’s pupils contracted slightly, anger rising in his heart. This was a clear case of ordinary people suffering while the immortals fought. Did the Jiang Family really think that the Su Family was easy to bully?
However, upon serious thought and comparing the strength and power of the Jiang Family, the Su Family did seem rather easy to bully..
