Chapter 173: Return to the Black Market
Chapter 173 – Returning to the Black Market
The Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect’s group of Immortal cultivators withdrew from the Violet Light Mansion and even returned to the Phoenix Fall Mansion with a group of branch Immortal cultivators including the previous Taixu Immortal Alliance’s Blazing Plume lineage and others, and then hibernated, never moving again.
However, in the dark, there were quite a few eyes that were staring at the Great Moon Mansion.
As early as when Su Yu returned from the Earth Immortal Mansion with his people, they had already been targeted by the people from the Green Prison Immortal Hall.
And after that, when the Taixu Alliance Master descended with the people from the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, it was even more so that the Green Prison Immortal Hall saw an opportunity.
So.
When the two elders of the Xuan Heavenly Immortal Sect left from the Great Lunar Mansion and returned towards the Overwhelming Ridge Sea in panic, a mysterious figure from the Green Prison Immortal Hall descended, leaving them completely on land.
It then glanced towards the direction of the Great Moon Mansion, sneered coldly, and disappeared without a trace.
However, at this moment, in the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect, the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect’s Old Ancestor and that Pre-YuanYing Realm True Lord of the Green Prison Immortal Hall were also discussing who had killed the Taixu Alliance Master.
In response, that YuanYing True Lord of the Green Prison Immortal Hall was certain in his heart and said, “It must have been the Earth Immortal Mansion that moved, who else could it be?”
“In my Green Prison Immortal Hall’s hands, I only have the lives of three True Lords from that sea area, but I didn’t make a move against that Taixu Alliance Master.”
When the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect’s old ancestor heard this, a few more points of scorn and uneasiness immediately appeared on his face.
If the Earth Immortal Palace could kill the Taixu Alliance Master, then it could likewise kill him ah.
Just in case—
“So, we should leave next, we can’t stay here any longer.”
“The mission has been completed, all that’s left to do is wait.”
After a period of time, the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect’s old ancestor as well as this person both disappeared from the Phoenixfall Mansion, no longer showing themselves.
Deep within the Overwhelming Ridge Sea, a small land-like massive island.
Xuan Tian Immortal Sect.
The Xuan Tian Immortal Sect is one of the great immortal sect forces in the Over Ridge Seas, occupying a territory that is likewise one of the most massive islands in the center region of the Over Ridge Seas, claiming to have millions of disciples and divided into 36 cave heavens.
The cave heaven of the sea area is a different thing from the cave heaven of the land immortal mansion, the cave heaven on land refers to the cultivation residence of the immortal cultivator.
And the cave heaven on the sea, refers to the name of a party’s power.
At this moment, Xuan Tian Immortal Sect’s top ten ranked Ying Yang Cave Heaven, a peak YuanYing breath anger filled the world, and shocked and angry shouted: “What? The soul lights of Huan Chen and Golden Scale have gone out!?”
“What’s going on, who killed the two of them!”
“Also, where did the two of them go during this time?”
“Check! Investigate thoroughly!”
“This cave lord is going to see just who dares to mess with my Xuan Heavenly Immortal Sect!”
Just as Ying Yang Cave Heaven was in turmoil due to the deaths of the two True Lords, a ferocious wave of sea beasts broke out in the depths of the Overwhelming Sea, countless sea beasts rushed out from under the sea floor, setting off a tidal wave of frenzy that swept towards the territory of the human Immortal Cultivators.
Such a sudden change made the cultivators of the entire Overwhelming Sea Region incomparably shocked and surprised, and even more so, a little panicked, scrambling to prepare for a response.
Even the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect’s Ying Yang Cave Heaven had put down the matter of probing the fall of the two Yuan Ying elders, True Lord Huan Chen and True Lord Golden Scale, and went all out to prepare for the ferocious tide of sea beasts.
Because this was just too sudden.
In the past, when sea beast tides appeared, there would be signs, and there was also a time pattern that could be traced.
But this time–
The scale and suddenness of the ferocious tide of sea beasts that had risen from the depths of the Overwhelming Ridge Sea had really caught the human cultivators off guard.
Countless merchant fleets that were still drifting on the waters were all submerged in the boundless tide of sea beasts.
Fortunately.
The human race various island territories have their own defense mechanisms and positions, although this time the tide of evil suddenly, supplies, spirit stones and so on is too late to prepare, but within a short period of time, the forces are still able to build a sniper sea beasts of the line of defense.
“What’s going on with this sea beast tide? What kind of madness is the Sea Race having?”
“Hiss, this this scale of sea beast tide, can our clan defend it?”
“It’s too sudden, this Sea Beast Tide is not very unusual!”
On the sea area, a single individual clan cultivator murmured and clamored.
While the various forces were scrambling to deal with the sea beast tide, no one knew that there were already some sea races that had avoided the eyes of the human Immortal Cultivators and had quietly crossed over the territories of the various human forces to sneak into the land Immortal Mansions.
Moonfall Alliance Cave Secret Realm.
Daily cultivation, teaching Su Rui and Ma Tianling to make pills, in his spare time, Su Yu was still comprehending one of the ancient remnant formations within the Moonfall Alliance, and his comprehension of the Dao of Formation was becoming more and more refined.
As for the disputes and turmoil between the various forces of the Great Moon Province and the Nine Souls Demon Ridge demonic path within the Violet Light Mansion outside, Su Yu did not participate.
However, through the talismans he had previously drawn, whether it was the Great Moon Palace or the Cloud Sword Sect or the Su Family, the Nine Souls Demon Ridge’s Demon Dao could not benefit in front of them.
As the turmoil within the Violet Light Mansion gradually calmed down, Su Yu began to think about returning to the Earth Immortal Mansion.
After the first half of the year.
At Su Yu’s request, Yellow Candle had invited that Fourth Order Lower Grade Demon Monarch from the Yin Moon Tiger Clan, the neighbor next to the Cave Heavenly Mystery Realm of the Fallen Moon Alliance, and at the same time invited the Great Moon Palace Ancestor, Immortal Willow Wool, to come here to gather.
When Immortal Willow Floss came in to the Moonfall Alliance Cave Heavenly Secret Realm Ruins, her heart shook in horror as she looked at Su Yu and asked, “This Fourth Order Cave Heavenly Secret Realm Ruins, it has already been controlled by you?”
Su Yu smiled and nodded, “Senior guessed correctly.”
Saying a beat, Su Yu looked at that Fourth Order Lower Grade Demon Monarch of the Yin Moon Tiger Clan as well as Immortal Willow Floss and added, “This time, I invited the two seniors to come here because I want to reach an agreement with the two seniors.”
“From now on, the Yin Moon Tiger Clan will form a friendly non-aggression pact with my Cave Heaven as well as the Great Lunar Palace, and even lend a helping hand when they encounter foreign enemy aggression to the best of their ability.”
Immortal Willow Wisp looked at Su Yu with a strange gaze, a friendly and mutual assistance pact with the Yin Moon Tiger Clan? What kind of operation was this.
Under Su Yu’s detailed explanation, Fairy Willow Floss came to a sudden realization.
It turned out that he wanted the Yin Yue Tiger Clan’s fourth-ranked Demon Monarch to become a free ”fighter?”
When the Moonfall Alliance’s Cave Heavenly Realm and the Great Moon Palace were violated by foreign enemies, this Demon Monarch of the Yin Moon Tiger Clan would be allowed to help out!
Su Yu looked towards that Yin Moon Tiger Clan’s Demon Monarch with a bright and kind smile on his face and said, ”I wonder what Yin Moon Demon Monarch would like to do? Would you be willing to help our neighbors in a friendly manner?”
The Yin Moon Demon Monarch trembled and looked at the yellow candle behind Su Yu, his feet went soft and he almost knelt in front of Su Yu.
A smile worse than crying appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling voice, “Willing, my little one is willing!”
Could one not be willing?
Under Su Yu’s auspices, both the Yin Moon Demon Monarch and Fairy Willow Floss made a dao oath, and the two families reached a pact of friendship and mutual assistance, non-aggression, and incidentally allowed the Yin Moon Demon Monarch to make a pact to come out and shelter one or two people when something happened to the Cave Heavenly Realm of the Fallen Moon Alliance.
This thing is just Su Yu in passing, for today’s Great Moon Palace, is considered a good thing.
After all, letting the Yin Moon Demon Monarch make a dao oath to never violate the Great Moon Palace, then this big hidden danger next to the Great Moon Palace in the past, even if it was solved.
There was no need to be distracted from defending against the Yin Moon Tiger Clan.
And for the Moonfall Alliance’s Cave Heavenly Mystery Realm, it was also considered to be one more piece of protection.
After sending the Yin Moon Demon Monarch as well as Fairy Willow Floss each a drop of fourth-order lower-grade spirit liquid, Su Yu sent them away and then returned to the Green Moon Peak, looking at the huge Cave Heaven Mystic Realm in front of him and secretly pondering.
“Instead of searching for another fourth-order cave heaven secret realm in the Earth Immortal Mansion by myself, it would be better to, instead, think of a way to lay a teleportation array here that can lead to the Earth Immortal Mansion’s Ground Ridge Immortal City, or the Ten Monarchs Immortal City?”
Only, if one wanted to lay down such a teleportation array that didn’t have a close teleportation distance, that material consumption wasn’t a small amount.
One would also have to hire a fifth-rank formation master to do so!
“The fifth rank formation materials, as well as the void stone known as the cornerstone of the teleportation formation, will also have to collect the ore themselves.”
“The farther the distance of the teleportation, the more materials the formation arrangement consumes… I’m afraid that setting up a teleportation formation like this down the line would only require hundreds, or even tens of millions of medium-grade spirit stones, wouldn’t it? Hiss.”
Su Yu secretly sucked in a breath and muttered in his heart, he now had less than 300,000 medium grade spirit stones in his hand counting the Taixu Immortal Alliance’s reserves.
It was obviously quite a bit short of wanting to lay down a teleportation array.
But it was normal.
Even in the central region of the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World, only those great powers and great Immortal Sects that possessed a fifth-order existence or the Divine Separation Realm had the strength and reserves to set up a teleportation array.
It was still something they had accumulated over the years.
If outsiders knew that Su Yu, a tiny JieDan Realm, was thinking of arranging a teleportation array-
Others might treat him as a fool, truly whimsical. For another year, he stayed in the Great Moon Palace.
The devil path of the Nine Souls Demon Ridge, the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect that had joined the Green Prison Immortal Hall, and the Great Moon Mansion were becoming more and more peaceful, and what Su Yu imagined that the Blood Phoenix Immortal Sect might want to take action against the Great Moon Mansion did not happen.
Under such circumstances, Su Yu thought twice and decided that it was time to return to the Earth Immortal Mansion.
“When I come back next time, perhaps I will be able to lay a teleportation array to the Earth Immortal Mansion here.”
“At that time, you can all feel free to travel to the Earth Immortal Mansion if you want to.”
After pacifying Yu Ke’er, Ma Tianling, and the Su Qi Clan clansmen, the five of them, Su Yu, Luo Qianyue, Daoist Qingquan, Daoist Shu Hai, and Ma Shiqing, left once again.
And in the dark underground, Su Yu left his Dao Body Puppet in the Great Moon Mansion.
The intention was to let the Dao Body Puppet watch over the Great Moon Mansion for a few more years before traveling to the Sang Mu Mansion at that time.
With Yellow Candle’s extreme speed, it only took less than a year for the group to return to Ten Monarch Immortal City.
Ten Monarch Immortal City.
Su Yu’s few people parted ways with Ma Shiqing and then returned to the stronghold of the Earth Immortal Mansion’s Immortal City, and Huang Candle returned to the Earth Immortal Mansion alone after sending them back here.
Seeing the arrival of Su Yu and Luo Qianyue, the Six-Tailed Fox True Lord looked a little surprised, “You guys came back?”
Su Yu’s few people respectfully said, “Greetings True Lord.”
“Come, come, all sit down and talk.” The Six-Tailed Fox True Lord graciously said, and had his two disciples, Zhang Meng Die and Zhang Mengyao, both of whom served Su Yu’s several people spirit tea and water.
“Many thanks True Lord.”
Su Yu several people sat down, Su Yu looked at Six-Tailed Fox True Monarch and asked, “True Monarch, is my master still confronting the Demon Race over at the Illusory Sea Swamp right now?”
This time, when Su Yu’s several people returned to the Great Lunar Mansion and came back again, eight years had already passed.
Not short, but not long either.
It was hard to say if there had been any changes on the side of the Illusory Sea Swamp.
The Six-Tailed Fox True Lord nodded and smiled, “Yes, but compared to before, conflicts with the Demon Race rarely occur now, perhaps in a few more years, the Demon Race and us will disperse separately.”
When Su Yu heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity in his heart.
The conflict ended so quickly?
It would have been better to fight for a few more decades while he stayed in the Ten Monarch Immortal City secretly selling resources such as pills, talismans, formations and so on to earn a little bit of money.
Then perhaps he would have been able to rely on this and scrape together enough materials to set up the teleportation array and the cost of laying it out.
Now that the conflicts were few and far between, then the demand for these resources from the various forces converging outside the Illusory Sea Swamp would definitely decrease, and the prices of the various resources in the Ten Monarch Immortal City would definitely come back down as well.
It would no longer be so good at making money.
After meeting with the Six-Tailed Fox True Lord, Zhang Mengdie, and Zhang Mengyao for a few moments and understanding the situation of the Earth Immortal Mansion as well as the Illusory Sea Swamp over the years, Su Yu, Luo Qianyue, Qingquan Daoist, and the others took their leave and returned to the Immortal Sect.
Returning to the Immortal Sect’s Affairs Hall to report, Daoist Qing Quan continued to receive missions to go out and guard one side, while Luo Qianyue took on an ordinary daily mission and returned to the Phantom Sword Blade.
Su Yu received a daily quest for alchemy, and while walking towards the Dan Pavilion, he pondered, “How can I save up the materials for the next teleportation array?”
If he could lay down a teleportation array in the Moonfall Alliance Cave Secret Ruins, then in the future, he would be able to travel back and forth between the Great Lunar Mansion and the Immortal Sect as he pleased, and as long as he didn’t let other people know about the existence of the teleportation array, basically, there wouldn’t be any security risks.
Moreover, with this teleportation array, then in the future, no matter if something happened on the side of the Great Moon Mansion or if there was some unimaginable upheaval in the Earth Immortal Mansion, he would be able to use this teleportation array to save his life.
One more way to retreat.
No matter how one thought about it, this teleportation array was very necessary to lay down.
But–
That was a teleportation array!
It needed at least a fifth-ranked array master to lay it down, and even if he counted the bottom of Huangling Island as well as the Palace-axe Chamber of Commerce, he only had about half a million medium-grade spirit stones in his hand.
Perhaps it was thicker than even his master’s family base, but it was still at least ten times worse than setting up a teleportation array.
There was also the fact that he wanted to secretly accumulate a teleportation array material, and that was obviously something that was impossible by staying in the Earth Immortal Mansion.
“So, one would have to have an additional identity to travel to the black market?” Su Yu secretly pondered, in the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation Realm the same black market existed, a large black market trading workshop that he knew of was located underneath the Ten Monarch Immortal City.
It was just that he had little interest in black markets before and did not go shopping.
The black market under the Ten Monarchs Immortal City, even in the entire Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World is the scale of the top ten, or even the existence of the top five.
In a place like that, it was much easier to save up some spirit stones, or resources.
Especially with his amazing rate of finished pills and talismans.
After staying in the Dan Pavilion for three months to complete his daily tasks, Su Yu politely declined the Dan Pavilion elder’s generous offer to stay and returned to Great Yugongyi Peak.
Half a month later, Su Yu quietly left from Great Yu Peak and headed to Ten Monarch Immortal City.
Ten Monarch Immortal City’s center region, Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Same as the appearance and layout of the Heavenly Book Pavilion in the Great Moon Palace, the Ten Monarch Immortal City’s Heavenly Book Pavilion had no changes in its interior decorations except for its size and area being larger.
Inside a parlor on the second floor, the Ten Monarch Immortal City’s Heavenly Book Pavilion’s treasurer looked at the teenager in front of him with slight surprise.
“This token of yours, was it given to you by that Dark Moon fellow?” The shopkeeper looked at Su Yu in surprise, that Dark Moon fellow was far away in the fringe region of the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World, he had not seen him for many years.
Su Yu gave an account, allowing the shopkeeper to understand the reason for this token.
In his heart, he secretly pondered, “The Tianshu Pavilion senior of the Great Moon Palace has the name of ‘Dark Moon’?
The Ten Monarch Immortal City’s Heavenly Book Pavilion’s shopkeeper in front of him seemed to have a stronger aura than that predecessor, and was definitely in the late YuanYing realm, or even a peak YuanYing realm existence comparable to the Yellow Candle.
Therefore, in front of this shopkeeper, Su Yu was especially respectful.
The shopkeeper pondered for half a second and said, “Since it’s someone that Dark Moon is optimistic about, then the old man I naturally know everything and say everything.”
“You want to know about the black market?”
Half a day later.
Su Yu left with a full harvest, besides the Earth Immortal Mansion, the Heavenly Book Pavilion was considered one of the only two forces that could be trusted here in his heart, and finding the Heavenly Book Pavilion to learn about the rules and conditions of the black market below was definitely the most preferable option.
Changing his appearance and taking the form of an ordinary young man, with the concealment of the immortal text metal fragment in his body, Su Yu contacted the Heavenly Book Pavilion under the identity of ‘Red Shadow Daoist’.
At this moment, Su Yu was walking while secretly thinking.
According to what this senior of the Heavenly Book Pavilion had said, the black market underneath the Ten Monarch Immortal City was not without rules, at least under the shelter of the Ten Monarch Immortal City, it was not possible to get your hands dirty within the black market.
Anyone, including the Divine Separation Realm powerhouses.
However, after leaving the black market, it is not under the Ten Monarch Immortal City’s control, so the danger is still there.
But that’s only for ordinary people, after all, he has comprehended the power of space, out of the black market directly shuttle space back to the Ten Monarch Immortal City is.
“Therefore, one needs to acquire a cave mansion in Ten Monarch Immortal City, and one also needs to acquire a store from the black market.”
Then what does this store deal in?
“Pills and talismans, the competition is a bit big, but other than these two, other formations and puppets are not very suitable.” After Su Yu thought about it, he still settled on the direction of pills.
An elixir was enough, other talismans and whatnot were exempt, otherwise it would be very eye-catching.
In the future, he would specialize in third-order pills.
It was just that he didn’t know how much he could gain in a year.
Suppressing these stray thoughts, Su Yu first went to buy a small cave residence in the Ten Monarch Immortal City, which was the size of a small courtyard with a third-order spirit vein aura environment, priced at a whopping 8,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Su Yu then came to the southwest corner of Ten Monarch Immortal City to a certain black market entrance and exit, entering the underground black market.
He first found the management of the black market and purchased an underground black market store property right from the other party at a price of ninety thousand medium grade spirit stones.
Only after buying the store did Su Yu begin to stroll through this black market.
Compared to the top of the Ten Monarch Immortal City, this underground black market could be described as a mixed bag of fish and dragons with many entrances and exits.
Demon races, devil paths, immortal disciples, and casual cultivators. There were all sorts of identities.
