Chapter 8 – Inferior Grade Artifacts
Chapter 8 – Lower Grade Magical Weapon
With his mind retracted from the proficiency panel, Su Yu looked at the empty jade bottle and couldn’t help but shake his head, “Without the demonic beast essence blood, this plummeting cultivation speed is really uncomfortable.”
Fortunately, it was finally a smooth breakthrough.
In order to break through the fourth layer of the Body Refining Art, Su Yu had consumed all of his resources over the past two months or so, and the demonic beast essence blood that he had gotten from hunting before was gone some time ago.
After receiving the monthly payment, he bought some mid first stage demonic beast essence blood back.
Only after spending all the spirit stones did he manage to break through the fourth layer of the Crocodile Demon 108 Style Body Refinement Technique.
However-
Su Yu felt the changes in his body and the surging berserk giant power hidden deep within his body.
Those resources smashed down were well worth it.
After waiting for his body’s blood qi aura to completely internalize, Su Yu came outside the house and looked at the late dark night outside, as well as the medicinal fields that only had the sound of insects left.
“It’s time to try hunting the ground rock rats.” Su Yu secretly pondered.
It wasn’t easy to wait for those people to die down.
If he didn’t earn some more money, he wouldn’t be able to eat the expenses for his next cultivation.
Returning to the house Su Yu began to grind the Beast Attracting Powder, the materials he had purchased earlier were well preserved and there was no problem using them now.
After grinding five portions of beast baiting powder, Su Yu went out and quietly came to a biased medicinal field, mixed the spiritual rice and placed five traps, and then left.
Waiting for more than two hours, Su Yu returned to check again.
This look immediately rejoiced, the five traps actually fainted three ground rock rats, which there is also a first-order mid-stage large demon rat.
“Counting the reward materials, at least sixty lower grade spirit stones arrived.” Su Yu joyfully went forward and held the head of that big demon rat with one hand and twisted it fiercely.
Ka-ching!
That head was twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, the big demon rat’s eyes bulged out as a result, and its head was almost screwed off.
If there was any difference between twisting the head of this mid-first stage demonic beast after breaking through the fourth layer of the Body Refinement Art and twisting the head of a demonic beast when it was at the third layer before, Su Yu felt that it was just a lot easier.
Before, he had to explode his physical strength to do so, but now he could easily twist off the head of a mid-first rank demonic beast with his hands.
“Go back.” Destroying the remaining two portions of spirit rice mixed with beast-attracting powder, Su Yu led the three ground rock rats to quietly return.
Early the next morning.
When the others had just gotten up, Su Yu had already arrived in front of the manor’s medicine building and walked in carrying a sack.
Inside, an old man with gray hair was frowning as he looked at the accounts, and when he saw Su Yu enter, his brows stretched.
“Something wrong?” The old man said mildly.
When Su Yu saw the old man, he immediately respectfully stepped forward and saluted, “Third Elder, I’ve come to redeem the reward.”
Saying this, he handed over the sack.
The old man was Su Chang, the third elder of the Su family, who was responsible for guarding the medicinal garden as well as the cultivation as well as operation of the medicinal garden’s spirit medicines.
This medicine building was the center of the medicine garden.
Su Chang was slightly surprised when he looked at a mid-first-order and two pre-first-order ground rock rats in the sack and looked at Su Yu, “You hunted this?”
Su Yu even said, “It was hunted with a few senior brothers, I’m just the one who came to collect the reward.”
Su Chang still praised, “Not bad, to be able to hunt a mid-first stage ground rock rat is already removing a great evil for the medicinal garden.”
This group of ground rock rat demon swarm was quite numerous, but most of them were only pre-first order demon beasts, and mid-first order ground rock rats were not rare.
The late first-order ground rock rats hadn’t seen a trace yet.
After praising, Su Chang took out the bounty as well as the material value of the three demonic beasts’ lower grade spirit stones, because the mid-first order rock rat demonic beast did not have any essence blood material, so together with the bounty, there were only forty-two lower grade spirit stones in total.
Among them, the bounty accounted for thirty lower grade spirit stones.
Pre-first stage demonic beast materials weren’t worth much.
After receiving the spirit stones, Su Yu respectfully retired and left the pill building.
One week later. At night, Su Yu once again ground five portions of Beast Attracting Powder, and this time he hunted two Pre-First Order Ground Rock Rats.
The next day he found a point in time when the third elder wasn’t at the pill building and went forward to exchange to collect the bounty and bought the materials.
This time, he got fourteen lower grade spirit stones.
Half a month later, the third hunt.
This time, Su Yu hunted a full four Pre-First Order Ground Rock Rats.
The next day’s redemption received twenty-eight lower grade spirit stones.
And with the spirit stones he had accumulated, he exchanged a suitable magic weapon in the Pill Building: the Red Luo Blade.
A lower-grade magic weapon forged with the special ore Red Luo Stone, about two feet and two inches long, it looked like a short knife with a slightly curved blade and a single open edge.
There were only two specialties, one was sharpness and the other was armor breaking.
The price was sixty lower-grade spirit stones, which wasn’t too expensive.
After having the magic weapon, Su Yu still had twenty-four lower grade spirit stones left.
In the next period of time, Su Yu would not plan to hunt the ground rock rats so frequently, at most half a month, or once a month.
In the Pill Building, Third Elder Su Chang looked at the bounty record and was slightly surprised, within half a month, that junior kid named Su Yu had actually hunted a full nine ground rock rats.
This quantity was a bit unusual.
Taking another look, not long ago, Su Yu had spent sixty lower grade spirit stones to exchange for a lower grade magic weapon, the Red Luo Blade.
“Good brat, before he even said that it was a ground rock rat that he hunted with a few senior brothers.” Su Chang laughed dumbly, “But in the end, he turned around and bought an inferior magic weapon himself?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was looking at the account book records, he wouldn’t even have been able to discover it yet.
“Could it be that this kid still has some tricks for hunting ground rock rats?” Su Chang found it quite interesting and noticed Su Yu.
One had to know that Su Yu was only seventeen years old, and on the records, he was at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm.
But he was able to hunt a mid-first stage ground rock rat, which was quite abnormal.
However, Su Chang only paid a little attention to Su Yu and did not go to great lengths to find out Su Yu’s secrets because of this, there was no need.
Returning to his house.
Su Yu refined that lower grade magic weapon, the Red Luo Blade, and put it into his dantian to contain it with his mana.
This magic weapon was not for long distance use, but was purchased for close combat to utilize his own body refining technique’s advantages.
After all, compared to his mana which was only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, his Body Refining Art which was already at the fourth level was his strongest strength right now.
“Next, feel free to cultivate the Sycamore Greenwood Technique.” Su Yu looked at the magic weapon Red Luo Blade within his dantian and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the fourth layer of the Body Refining Technique as well as the lower grade magic weapon by his side, his safety was at least a little bit guaranteed.
No longer was he a rookie Immortal Cultivator who was at the mercy of others.
Containing a magic weapon, cultivating mana, and then using the essence blood of a mid-first stage demonic beast to cultivate the body refining technique.
Su Yu’s life in the medicinal garden was very regular, from nine to five, and every day as he watched the proficiency of his feats steadily increase, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
It was just that after the Body Refining Technique reached the fourth layer, the mid-first stage demonic beast essence blood was no longer very useful to it.
The proficiency growth rate of the Body Refining Technique became as slow as the Sycamore Greenwood Technique Mana.
This kind of peaceful day suddenly changed after half a year.
Su Yu had just asked the Third Elder of the Pill Building for a vacation, intending to go back to his home in Jiangcheng to have a look around, but not waiting for him to leave the Pill Garden, a bad news came.
Su Qingyi and several Pill Garden Immortal Cultivator clansmen went out on vacation and encountered an ambush by the Lin Family, only Su Qingyi escaped back to Jiangcheng, but he was also seriously injured.
Only Su Qingyi escaped back to Jiangcheng, but he was seriously injured. The others were ambushed by the Lin family.
For a while, the two major Immortal Cultivation clans in Jiangcheng were at cross swords, and the relationship became particularly tense.
