Chapter 12 – Going to Cloud Mountain Market
Chapter 12 Going to Cloud Mountain Marketplace
The sun was rising and the purple energy was coming from the east.
Su Yu sat cross-legged in front of the window, holding a lower grade spirit stone in his hand to absorb the spiritual qi to cultivate, the body’s Sycamore Green Wood Skill mana was as calm and steady as the well water of a deep old well, running in the body without a single ripple or undulation.
At a certain moment, Su Yu’s body flashed with a green aura, the silent mana within the dantian finally fluctuated.
In an instant, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth converged in all directions, forming a small wave.
The aura on Su Yu’s body silently rose to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.
Half an hour later.
The lower grade spirit stone in Su Yu’s hand shattered into dust and fell from between the cracks of his fingers, and the heaven and earth aura that had originally converged from the breakthrough around him also returned to calm.
He slowly opened his eyes and murmured, “Breakthrough.”
His mind condensed, and a line of words surfaced before his eyes.
[Name: Su Yu.]
[Cultivation: 3rd level of Qi Refining Realm.]
[Longevity: 18/100.]
[Technique: Sycamore Green Wood Technique (3rd level, 0.01% proficiency), Crocodile Demon 108 Styles Body Refining Technique (4th level, 69.1% proficiency)].
[Spells: Wooden Vine Technique (Perfection), Spirit Nurturing Technique (Perfection), Spirit Spear Technique (Perfection), Spirit Embracing Technique (36.8% proficiency)].
After returning from the Cloud Sword Sect for nearly two and a half years, his cultivation broke through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.
This talent could not be compared to Su Zhi and Su Qing Yi.
However, Su Yu was not in a hurry, right now his cultivation progress was not as good as Su Zhi and the others, but the road to Immortal Cultivation was long, and when it came to the later realms, his advantage of having proficiency panels with no bottlenecks would surpass everyone.
Breaking through the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, Su Yu was in a happy mood.
Looking at the proficiency panel, Su Yu’s gaze fell on the body refining art and pondered, “This year, the progress of body refining art cultivation has slowed down quite a bit.”
Thinking about it, Su Yu opened his Qiankun bag and looked at the more than one hundred and thirty lower grade spirit stones that had been accumulated inside, and came to a decision.
“Find a chance to go to the Cloud Mountain Market.”
Every month, the Pill Garden would organize a merchant team to go to the Cloud Mountain Marketplace, with high specifications and a strong clan member leading the guard.
It would be much safer if one followed the merchant team.
This year down.
The heaven and earth aura in the medicinal garden had once again become nearly 10% richer, and the emergence of a first-order spirit vein underneath the medicinal garden was almost certain.
Now it was just waiting for the family to find a geomancer to come and search for dragons and set up a large formation, then they would be able to get a blessed place to cultivate.
Even if it was only the worst first-order spirit vein blessed land, it would be a heirloom treasure for the Su family.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a geomancer, and the family is still in the process of asking for information.
”If it can become a blessed land, the speed of one’s cultivation should be able to increase a bit.” Su Yu was looking forward to it.
Even if it was only an increase of half a percent, the cultivation time saved in the long run would be equally considerable.
The next morning.
Su Yu woke up from his cultivation with a lower grade spirit stone in his hand and looked at the proficiency panel, now that his daily cultivation of the Sycamore Greenwood Skill was a little faster, it only took more than two hours to complete.
“Proficiency has increased by 0.12%.” Su Yu pondered, “Even if he cultivates with a lower grade spirit stone every day, it would take nearly three years to break through from the third to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.”
“Well, to be precise, it’s more than two years, two years, two or three months.”
Towards the end of the month, Su Yu had good luck in laying down ten beast-attracting powder traps in the medicinal garden this night.
There were six Ground Rock Rats that were trapped, and among them, there were two mid-first rank demonic beasts.
The next day.
Su Yu carried these demonic beasts to the medicine building, where Third Elder Su Chang was settling accounts with a few clan elders, preparing to do a good job for the end of the month spirit medicine shipment.
Seeing Su Yu enter, Su Chang looked up with a sudden smile, “Aiyo, the demonic beast nemesis of our medicine garden is here again?”
The other few elders all laughed at his words and nodded their greetings towards Su Yu. This year Su Yu had from time to time stepped in to hunt the ground rock rats, allowing the number of the ground rock rat demonic beast colony in the Pill Garden to be maintained under a tolerable bottom line.
Su Yu’s reputation had also spread in the Pill Garden.
He was able to break through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm within a year’s time without the support of the resources he received from hunting the ground rock rats.
Su Yu respectfully handed over the sack in his hand and said, “This is what I got from hunting last night, six ground rock rats.”
Su Chang was a bit surprised when he heard this, “Six?”
Surprised, he looked at Su Yu, before, every time Su Yu came over, the maximum number of ground rock rats was five.
This was the first time it had exceeded that limit.
Su Chang opened it and looked, “Ya, there are still two mid-first stage ground rock rat demonic beasts.”
The other few elders were not surprised.
Instead, they looked at Su Yu and laughed, “With him in our medicinal garden, this ground rock rat’s spirit vein pest trouble can’t rise.”
Seeing Su Chang happy, Su Yu hurriedly told the matter of taking leave of absence and wanting to follow the merchant caravan to Yunshan Square Market.
Su Chang pondered for a moment and nodded his head to agree down, “Okay, but when you enter the merchant team, you have to follow orders and you also have to protect the safety of the merchant team.”
Afterward, Su Chang gave Su Yu six lower grade spirit stones of ground rock rats.
The essence blood of two mid-first stage demonic beasts was not available as usual.
Counting the value of the materials, there were a total of seventy-eight lower grade spirit stones.
“In the morning of the day after tomorrow, come over here early.” Su Chang admonished.
Delivering spirit medicine was not a primitive mode of transportation like moving a carriage, knowing that Su Yu could get a Qiankun bag reward for killing a Lin family junior, this delivery of spirit medicine, couldn’t one use a Qiankun bag or even a Qiankun ring?
Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, when Su Yu came to the medicine building, there were already ten Immortal cultivators waiting here.
One of the leaders was still a family elder at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm.
It was considered to be Su Yu’s grandfather’s generation, named Su Jing Bang.
He had been in charge of the transportation route from the Pill Garden to the Cloud Mountain Marketplace for more than ten years.
“Coming? Then let’s go.”
Seeing Su Yu arrive, Su Jing Bang nodded with a slight smile, while the other nine looked at Su Yu with slight curiosity.
Regarding Su Yu, the ‘Ground Rock Rat Nemesis’ of the Medicinal Garden, they had all heard of him.
Counting Su Yu eleven people were all Immortal Cultivators.
The crowd didn’t directly fly to Cloud Mountain Market with their imperial weapons, not to mention that they didn’t have enough magical power, even if they did, they didn’t dare to be so ostentatious.
In case they consumed too much mana and met robbers in the middle of the journey.
Therefore, the crowd still rode their spirit horses to the Cloud Mountain Market.
The journey was smooth, and even the hostile Lin family didn’t ambush their group.
Three days later, the crowd smoothly arrived at the Cloud Mountain Market outside the Cloud Sword Sect’s mountain gate.
When entering the workshop market, each person would need to pay a lower grade spirit stone.
Unless you stayed in the workshop market, you could only stay inside until dark and then you had to leave, you couldn’t linger on the streets.
After paying the fee for a group of people to enter the workshop market, Su Jingbang said, “First go to the Dan Pavilion, after that we will stay in the workshop market for one night, and leave tomorrow afternoon to return, during which time we will be free to move around.”
The workshop market was very large, built within a mountain range, the entire market was enveloped by heavy heavy formations, and there were many spirit fields in all directions.
Rumor had it that below this workshop market was a branch of the spirit vein underneath the Cloud Sword Sect.
But even if it was just a branch, it was still a second-order spirit vein.
It was much stronger than the first rank spirit vein found underneath the Su family’s medicinal garden.
Entering the workshop, Su Yu could feel the difference in the concentration of heaven and earth’s spiritual qi, and after staying here for a day, his cultivation progress could be more than 10% faster than in the medicinal garden.
