Cang Mountain.
Su Bin, Su Jingbang, Su Peng and others watched as the Black-Scaled Eagle soared into the sky. It soon disappeared in the distance, and then, everyone finally turned around and left.
Third Elder Su Ruosu asked with interest, “What are your thoughts on Little
Yu’s relationship with those two young girls?”
“That Miss Yu’s appearance is acceptable, and her talent is noteworthy. She’s reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and is also a second-rank low-grade Beast Tamer. If she could end up with Little Yu, it would be a blessing for our Su Family.”
“The other one, an Inner Sect Disciple of Yunjian Sect is also acceptable. She’s a Pill Master, but it’s a pity that her vital energy seems abnormal. It’s likely that she attempted to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm but failed.
Su Peng shook his head and laughed, “The subject of your chatter has already left, Ruosu. Why are you still blabbering about this?”
Su Ruosu snorted, “Can’t I just speak my mind? Is it wrong to worry about the young ones in our family? I’ve been busy for almost all my life, am I not allowed to bring some leisure to my old age?”
Su Peng hastily raised his hands to surrender, “You’re allowed, you’re allowed, how can it not be allowed?”
“Hahaha.” Su Bin, Su Jingbang, Su Yun, Su Chang, and other people laughed heartily. This continued until they returned to their main hall.
Only then did Su Bin ponder, “Little Yu has gone to Bai Yue Immortal City. It seems his opportunity is quite significant. We haven’t seen him for only a few short years, and he has already advanced from the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Stage to the ninth level. His progress is quite incredible.”
Su Peng thoughtfully said, “Not long ago when we returned from Bai Yue
Immortal City, he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement Stage.”
“It’s quite unexpected that he’s already at the ninth level upon his return.”
Su Yun laughed, “This is good news. With his current cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Stage, as long as he solidifies his foundation and ingests the Foundation Establishment Pill to attempt a breakthrough, his chances of success are very high due to his state of mind and steady demeanor.”
“He is already a second-rank low-grade Pill Master and a second-rank low-grade Talisman Master. It is quite possible that he has also reached second-rank low-grade as a Puppet Master.”
“Additionally, he’s a second-rank Beast Tamer.”
“Once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s possible that our family might nurture a true dragon.”
Upon hearing this, Su Bin, Su Jingbang, Su Peng, Su Ruosu, and others became exhilarated, their eyes blazing with anticipation. Thinking about Su Yu’s potential future achievements they couldn’t help but be overcome with excitement.
Even though Su Yu didn’t plan to stay in the family and wanted to make his own way in the world, as long as he was alive, he was a member of the Su Family.
If Su Yu were to truly become a dragon, it would be a glory to the Su Family.
After chatting for a while.
Su Bin said, “Since we’re all here, let’s discuss the matter of establishing Clan Elders. The Second, Third, and Fourth Elders are all aged and no longer wish to fulfil the role of family elder. We should let the younger generation take on some responsibility, so it is necessary to establish the position of Clan Elder.”
“The status of a Clan Elder is above an Elder, but they will no longer manage any family affairs.”
Everyone began to discuss the matter.
In the end, it was decided to establish the position of Clan Elder. However, not all could step down at the same time. They would promote them one by one.
Su Jingbang would no longer hold the position of Fourth Elder but would become the second patriarch of the Su Family.
Su Peng would continue to serve as the family’s patriarch. They had called Su Rui’an back from Yunshan Market with plans to groom him as the successor.
However, it was not yet time. Su Peng may have to hold out for another ten years.
On the journey back to Bai Yue Immortal City, atop the Black-Scaled Eagle.
Yu Ke’er slightly turned towards Su Yu and asked, “Your cultivation level is already at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Stage. Have you estimated when you will attempt to break through?”
Su Yu knew the approximate timing but lightly shook his head with a smile,
“Let nature take its course.”
Yu Ke’er didn’t seem to take heed as she continued, “You must have gathered a lot of Foundation Establishment Pill materials. Anything you’re still short of? Let me think of a way to help.”
Su Yu did not respond, but sat on the back of the black-scaled eagle, gazing at the distance.
Yu Ke’er also stopped talking and sat quietly on the side.
Behind her, Yu Qianqing closed her eyes and withdrew her senses. With no sight, her heart remained unperturbed. She was constantly grumbling in her heart. Had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have come. She was over thirty, almost forty, and yet she was being forced into this awkward situation. It was really tough.
Once they returned to Bai Yue Fairy City, she wanted to eat dog meat!
Near Bai Yue Fairy City, Su Yu suddenly looked at Yu Qianqing and asked, “Taoist Friend Yu, are you a first-grade, high-quality Alchemist?”
Yu Qianqing was startled and nodded. “Yes, I am. Unfortunately, I don’t have as much talent as you do. At the Qi Refinement level, I don’t think I can advance to a second-grade, low-quality Alchemist.”
Su Yu said, “Have you ever considered leaving the Yunjian Sect? I think your talent for alchemy is decent. If you were to change your environment and get some polishing, you might be able to advance to a second-grade Alchemist.”
Yu Qianqing stared at Su Yu in surprise. Was he trying to poach her for his Pill Pavilion?
She was an esteemed Inner Sect Disciple of the Yunjian Sect!
Unfazed, Su Yu continued his persuasion. How did it matter if she was a disciple of the Yunjian Sect’s inner sect? He still needed to woo her. He believed his alchemy skills were good enough to guide Yu Qianqing in alchemy.
Moreover, he was lacking a top-notch alchemist among his subordinates.
Xu Desheng and Kang Yunnian were only mediocre first-grade, mid-quality alchemists. Besides, they were older and had little potential to develop.
Yu Qianqing was different, though.
Although she had greatly depleted her vital energy by failing to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm earlier, she was still young at under forty. Her talent for alchemy was decent, too.
If he could lure her from the Yunjian Sect and nurture her, maybe she could become his right-hand woman?
After a considerable amount of persuasion, he was finally able to convince Yu Qianqing before they reached Bai Yue Fairy City. She agreed in a bewildered manner to join Su Yu and his Pill Pavilion.
Once they entered Bai Yue Fairy City, Yu Qianqing returned to the Yunjian
Sect’s outpost to deal with her departure from the sect. It was then that Yu Ke’er looked at Su Yu and said, “Her master is a Core Formation Realm peak cultivator and a second-grade, high-quality Alchemist. He’s one of the Elders in the Inner Pill Pavilion of the Yunjian Sect.”
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll cause trouble for you now that you’ve poached his disciple?”
Su Yu helplessly responded, “Isn’t this for the sake of our Pill Pavilion? Elder Xu and Elder Kang are alright for handling ordinary tasks, but we’re lacking a pillar. ”
“Taoist Friend Yu is a pretty good choice.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Ke’er did not say anything more.
They went back to the Pill Pavilion.
Although they had been away for more than half a month, everything at the Pill Pavilion was still fine.
Afterward, Yu Ke’er bid farewell and left.
Some time later, Su Yu also returned to his courtyard in the alley. Free from outside disturbances, he thought to himself, “Next, there’ll be peaceful cultivation for a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
He would carry out his daily cultivation and, during his leisure time, go to the
Pill Pavilion to complete the tasks on the Yu Family’s list.
Over two months later, Su Yu learned from Yu Ke’er about a major battle between the righteous and the demonic that broke out in the Eight-Demons Ridge. One True Man from the Grand Moon Palace appeared, joining forces with the Yunjian Sect, Bai Yue Fairy City, Kaiyang Palace, and other forces of the righteous path to surround and annihilate the demonic cultivators and robbers.
However, two Core Formation cultivators suddenly appeared within the demonic cultivators. Despite the larger number of cultivators on the side of the righteous path, both sides suffered heavily in the end.
By the time he returned to his courtyard in the alley that night.
As soon as Su Yu entered the alley, he heard a family of four cultivators quarreling loudly, “They’ve raised the rent by thirty percent. They want us dead! The rent for the spiritual fields was already not low. Now, as long as we don’t lose money, it’s good enough!”
“Damn it, you guys are eating so much every day.. Get lost! If we really start losing money, I’ll sell you three money-losing goods!”
