Chapter 6 Raiders
Chapter 6 Raiders
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had already been in the Medicine Garden for half a month.
He had memorized all the pamphlets given by his master, Su Changyu, and had successfully cultivated the Spirit Embracing Technique, and although his progress was slow, his proficiency had still reached 4.1% in half a month.
And the cultivation of the Wutong Green Wood Skill as well as the Body Refining Art had also improved, and the speed of proficiency growth was that much faster than in the Su Family Residence.
Only after the Body Refining Art reached the third layer, the difficulty of increasing proficiency was a bit more difficult than what Su Yu had predicted.
Wanting to break through to the fourth layer, two or three months time that was just a thought, what he now expected was to break through to the fourth layer of the body refining art within half a year.
Of course, if he could have more demonic beast essence blood to assist him, the time could be scaled down a bit.
Fortunately, after coming to the pill field as a medicine apprentice, Su Yu’s share of the monthly payment for a month had risen significantly, coupled with the fact that from time to time, there would be ground rock rat demonic beasts that would attack and be killed here at the pill field, he would be able to trade for more demonic beasts’ essence blood here.
At the end of half a month of leisure time, Su Yu began to follow Su Changyu to learn about planting spirit medicines, as well as examining his knowledge and understanding of spirit medicine habits.
After a few days, there was also a trade fair inside the Pill Field Manor.
At the trade fair, Su Yu saw Su Qing Yi whom he had not seen for the majority of the year, only to realize that Su Qing Yi’s cultivation had actually reached the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.
More than a year’s time to break through from the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, this speed made Su Yu a little surprised.
Although Su Qing Yi was gifted with a medium grade spirit root, this rate of improvement was too fast, right?
If he himself wanted to break through the third layer of the Sycamore Green Wood Skill, he estimated that it would take more than a year and a half before he could do so.
Su Qing Yi set up a stall, half a year ago there was still the youthfulness has faded a lot, looks no longer a delicate family young master, the stall also has a demonic beast essence blood sale transaction, just as Su Yu needs.
Seeing Su Yu, Su Qing Yi was not surprised, after asking Su Yu’s needs he smiled and said, “Mid first stage demonic beast essence blood I also have here, two lower grade spirit stones, give you five drops.”
“OK.” Su Yu naturally wouldn’t refuse, there was a discount on this price.
Su Qing Yi enthusiastically said, “During this period of time, the medicine field will still be infested with demonic beasts, if you encounter any trouble that can’t be solved, you can look for me.”
“If you find traces of demonic beasts, you can also look for me, at that time the harvest will be shared by everyone.”
Looking at Su Qing Yi’s appearance, it seems that he has already adapted to the environment of the Immortal Cultivation World.
Su Yu also saw a little bit of the ground floor bottom level Immortal Cultivator boss NPC template that he had encountered in previous Immortal Cultivation games from him.
After chatting with him for a moment, Su Yu left the trade fair to go back to his own room.
With his current cultivation level of the third layer of Body Refinement, he could already refine one drop of mid-first stage demonic beast essence blood at a time.
And while practicing the Body Refining Art, Su Yu thought of the layer that Su Qing Yi had mentioned, “The Ground Rock Rats themselves might just be able to find a way to hunt some, earn some pocket money, and also get some essence blood to practice the Body Refining Art.”
With his current power of the third layer of the Crocodile Demon 108 Styles Body Alchemy Art, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a mid-first stage ground rock rat comparable to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
Furthermore, he knew a way to hunt the Ground Rock Rats without having to use his hands.
In the quests that he used to do in the early stages of the Immortal Cultivation Game, there were quests to trap and hunt the ground rock rats, collecting materials to make a special Beast Baiting Powder.
The beast baiting powder specially made for the ground rock rats can lure the ground rock rats to come out, as long as they ate the beast baiting powder, the ground rock rats will be fainted to death and let people slaughter them.
This method, Su Yu didn’t know if other Immortal Cultivation forces understood it or not, but the Su family members who hadn’t come into contact with the Spirit Veins as well as the Ground Rock Rats should not understand it.
“Earth Blue Flower, Rosemary, Cloud Shadow Grass as well as Sycamore Oil, they are all just unusual materials that can be put together in the medicinal field.” Su Yu secretly pondered in his heart.
Saying do it, he did it.
After completing his body refining cultivation, Su Yu began to collect the materials for the Beast Attracting Powder.
After spending only one lower grade spirit stone, he gathered five materials of Beast Baiting Powder back.
Simply grinding the five ingredients into powder in a jade bottle, Su Yu secretly said, “I’ll try again tonight.”
The time was still early, so he followed Su Changyu and headed to the medicinal field to complete today’s task. Using the Spirit Nurturing Technique to contain the spirit medicines, using the Spirit Containing Technique to sense the growth of the spirit medicines, and combining the knowledge he had previously memorized with practice to blend it all together.
Seeing that Su Yu had learned the Spirit Cultivation Technique in a short period of time, Su Changyu lamented, “Little Yu you are the most talented one I have seen in all these years, none of your three senior brothers have been able to comprehend the Spirit Cultivation Technique up to now.”
Su Yu even said, “I’m just good luck, the previous year I followed the family head to the Cloud Sword Sect to participate in the entry disciple test, and I scored just under on the second level of enlightenment.”
“Moreover, I’m still a lower grade spirit root, and it took me more than a year of cultivation to break through from the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the second layer.”
“Teacher, you can stop praising me, or else my motivation to cultivate will be gone.”
“You, okay.” Su Changyu’s naive face was stunned at the words, and then laughed, and didn’t even say the words you have the most talent in the future.
However, for Su Yu, he was more attentive, letting Su Yu follow him every day to study.
Evening.
Su Yu came to a medicinal field in a remote location, picked five places to put down some spirit rice mixed with beast-attracting powder, and then moved away from this place and waited quietly.
For more than two hours, after waiting until late at night, Su Yu went over to take a look and found that the five portions of beast baiting powder had successfully lured two ground rock rats.
One was less than a foot in size, and was only a small demon at the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm, while the other was almost two feet in size, and was a mid-first stage demonic beast.
“Earned it.” Su Yu’s heart immediately rejoiced at the sight of that large demonic beast.
He walked over and grabbed its head and twisted it fiercely, with the terrifying power of the third layer of the Crocodile Demon 108 Style Body Refining Technique, he directly twisted its head in a circle, and the breath on its body was completely gone before he gave up.
Solved the big rat demon, the rest of the small rat demon Su Yu slap over, bang a muffled sound, the small rat demon head brain pulp were shot out.
Destroying the remaining three portions of spirit rice that had been added to the beast-attracting powder, Su Yu quietly returned with the two ground rock rats.
Because there was a time limit for the Beast Attracting Powder, three hours, when it expired, the remaining three portions were no longer of any use, and by destroying them again, no one would notice.
Returning to his house, Su Yu skinned and bled the two ground rock rats.
Demonic beast blood refers to the demon beast heart blood, this is the essence of the power of the demon beast, belongs to the demon beast condensed power source, the number is not much.
That little mouse demon, Su Yu only got twenty three drops of early first stage demonic beast essence blood.
The big rat demon had a bit more, getting forty one drops of mid first stage demonic beast essence blood.
The cost of one lower grade spirit stone was exchanged back for roughly thirty lower grade spirit stones of materials.
“With these demonic beast essence blood to aid in cultivation, maybe the fourth layer of the Body Refinement Technique will only take two or three months to break through.” Su Yu was happy in his heart.
What made him even happier was that the game quest of trapping and hunting the ground rock rats in his previous life had actually allowed him to successfully hunt the ground rock rats.
In addition to the proficiency panel, he had one more golden finger to live in this world of Immortal Cultivation.
Of course, the formula for the Beast Baiting Powder worked because it was easy to formulate.
Some of the other divine formulas he knew of from previous Immortal Cultivation games for alchemy, weaponry, and so on, he guessed that he would still have to deduce and try before he could do it.
But this way Su Yu was already satisfied, compared to other people, he at least already knew what the list of ingredients for cooking was, how many portions were, the only thing left was the order and the heat.
And besides the recipe, more wealth was some other knowledge and quest strategies.
“Save up some more money and buy a proper magic weapon.” Thinking about the appearance of the ground rock rats and the possible existence of a first rank spirit vein underneath him, Su Yu had some urgency in his heart, a low ranked magic weapon was worth at least a few dozen lower grade spirit stones.
Right now, he didn’t have that much money in his hand, so he could only save it slowly.
