Even though Su Yu was far less advanced than the Red Shadow Puppet, the head-on collision between the Sun Spirit Water True Dragon and the Fire Dragon resulted in both disappearing.
Su Yu effortlessly blocked the power of the Red Shadow Puppet.
“Again.”
In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath the Red Shadow Puppet violently changed, and countless spirit vines shot skyward, binding the puppet in an instant. Even with the explosive flames of the puppet, the vines remained unaffected, only shattered and crushed by the force of a magic artifact.
However, the forces of the Five Elements Domain and the Five Elements Dao successively emerged, and countless spells bombarded the Red Shadow Puppet.
The puppet’s clumsiness was exposed at this point, and Su Yu quickly entangled it. After a round of bombardment from the Five Elements spells, the Red Shadow Puppet was sent flying instantly.
It was unable to withstand a full-force assault of the Five Elements Domain spells from Su Yu – a total defeat.
But when the Red Shadow Puppet returned, it was still unharmed despite the bombardment of Su Yu’s Five Elements spells. Its defensive strength was simply unparalleled.
In terms of defensive power, puppets outshined all others.
After the experiment, Su Yu was very satisfied, storing the Red Shadow Puppet into his magic artifact palace with a wave of his hand: “Not bad. Its defensive power, as well as the force it can burst with, are quite good.”
“Once the Dao Body puppet returns from the sea, I can replace it. With the Dao Body puppet’s abilities, handling a True Monarch at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm will be no problem.”
He left the forbidden area and went to his cave dwelling at the top of Dayu Peak, where he sat down next to a stone table in the courtyard.
Su Yu was making Spiritual Tea and meditating.
He looked at the space in his Green Moon ring: “I don’t have a lot of Spirit Stones left.” He was down to fewer than a million mid-grade Spirit Stones.
In recent times, he had focused on collecting talisman materials, but he didn’t have too many of those either.
The ability of Yunxiao Dan Pavilion to generate revenue wasn’t keeping up with his expenses.
As for selling the fourth-order superior quality elixirs from Yunxiao Dan Pavilion… Su Yu quickly dismissed the idea after considering it.
Currently, Yunxiao Dan Pavilion is just selling third-order superior quality elixirs. Although they are popular, it’s not exceptional or high-profile.
If they can mass-produce and sell fourth-order elixirs as well, even forces as great as the Ten Immortal Sects would be tempted by Yunxiao Dan Pavilion!
By then, Yunxiao Dan Pavilion would become a magnet for trouble, and his ability to operate behind the scenes might be compromised.
So, how should he open up a new source of wealth?
“Talismans, formations, puppets, elixirs, and possibly artifact refining in the future… All of these require a lot of investments to improve, and only with a certain level of proficiency can I make money.” Su Yu pondered, “Not to mention, my own cultivation also needs a lot of resources.”
He needs to find a new source of wealth.
Su Yu sipped his Spiritual Tea and contemplated this matter.
Should he open another Dan Pavilion in a different major city’s black market?
But the Dan Pavilion needs his own elixirs to make significant profits, otherwise it could only earn a small amount of money, so it wouldn’t be worth it.
He didn’t have enough time to waste on concocting third-order elixirs.
He looked at the remaining 10,000+ fourth-order, lower-quality elixirs stored in his ring. If he sold these elixirs, he could make a decent amount of money.
For his current cultivation, he does not need fourth-order, lower-quality elixirs, but rather perfect-quality, middle-order elixirs manufactured by himself, as well as Spiritual Liquids.
Keeping these elixirs doesn’t have much use.
Except for sharing with others or giving them to the Sea Covering Spirit Turtle and other beast taming candidates.
A few days later.
Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan, Taoist Shuhai, and Ma Shiqing all visited Da Yu Peak. The five hadn’t gathered together for decades to drink tea and chat.
“What have you, my friends, been up to recently?” Su Yu made Spiritual Tea and smiled at the four of them.
Luo Qianyu gazed at him with beautiful eyes, saying, “The Immortal Sect’s entrance examination is about to begin, Master has asked me to handle it. You Sword Edge is preparing to enlist twenty disciples.”
This is what Luo Qianyu had been busy with over the past few years, gradually taking over the responsibilities of the Peak Master.
The You Ruo Peak Master was grooming her to take over You Sword Edge.
Taoist Qingquan is also preparing to take over Yuelan Peak. Her talent surpasses that of True Monarch Gu Lan. Among the elders of Yuelan Peak, she is the most remarkable and had been training under True Monarch Yuelan for several decades now.
Whilst Su Yu had journeyed to Black Prison Immortal City and the Wastelands to cultivate, Luo Qianyu and Taoist Qingquan were likewise not idle.
The two of them had already each taken over a portion of their respective master’s duties.
Su Yu looked at Taoist Shuhai, curious to ask, “Taoist Friend Shuhai, are you preparing to take over Linyuan Peak?”
The aura surrounding Taoist Shuhai, unbeknownst to everyone, had already reached the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Hearing Su Yu’s query, he chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Not exactly. We have an extremely talented junior disciple at Linyuan Peak. Although he hasn’t yet reached the standards of a Sect’s Daozi, he’s more than capable of taking over Linyuan peak.”
“I took a trip to the North recently, to the cultivation world of Langhu. I brought back two disciples who are fairly talented.”
Speaking of this, a radiant smile illuminated Taoist Shuhai’s face.
Previously, under Demon Turtle’s deception, he had spent a huge fortune to travel through the cross-field teleportation array and gain experiences in other cultivation worlds.
In the process of those experiences, the Demon Turtle had noticed two cultivators so fortunate that they almost blinded its eyes.
Taoist Shuhai made a decisive move and abducted the two youngsters back.
According to the Demon Turtle, Shuhai’s own luck was not that great, but it happened to complement its own. They would enhance each other, and were bound to achieve great things in the future.
And these achievements all lay in the ‘children of fortune’ that the Demon Turtle was observing.
Previously, when Taoist Shuhai was not deeply cultivated, he could only try to form good relations when encountering ‘children of fortune’. But now, he had become a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul Realm.
From this day forward, he could accept those ‘children of fortune’ as his disciples.
These ‘children of fortune’ were Taoist Shuhai’s fortune – they were his Dao.
“You took in disciples? Why didn’t you bring them to meet us?” Su Yu and the others were taken by surprise, they just learned of it.
Taoist Shuhai replied, “They are not officially my disciples yet. After the Immortal Sect’s entrance examination, I’ll arrange a time for them to meet their senior uncles and aunts”.
Su Yu nodded slowly, then looked to Ma Shiqing, saying, “What are your plans, Taoist Friend Ma?”
Ma Shiqing had become much quieter, silent for a while after hearing the question. He finally answers, “To cultivate and return to the Star Plucking Tower.”
“It is the lifelong wish of my Master and the Ancestor.”
As you could see, Ma Shiqing’s face aged a little, a few strands of white hair starting to show. It was apparent that he had exhausted his longevity and mental strength studying the Land Master’s path.
Though Ma Shiqing’s mana and Dao foundation were not that great, his talent in the Land Master’s path was unquestioned.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the Daozi of the Star Plucking Tower, a fifth-tier Formation Master faction, in such a short time.
But…
To recapture Star Plucking Tower by himself was not easy.
The crucial factor wasn’t the remaining people of the Star Plucking Tower, but the Ancestor of the Finger Moon Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace.
“Take your time, don’t rush. We are not capable enough to confront them yet, but if we wait a few more years, the era of the cultivational realm will eventually arrive when it’s our turn to enter the scene.” Su Yu consoled.
Afterward, Su Yu became curious about the other cultivation realms that Taoist Shuhai went to, especially the Langhu cultivation realm.
“The cultivational realm is large, and our true title here should be The Cultivation Realm of the Cangzhou Field, also known as the Heavenly Immortal Field, or Eastern Immortal Field.” Taoist Shuhai explained, “Daqian Cultivation Realm is just one place in the Cangzhou Field. There are approximately fourteen such regions in the Cangzhou Field.”
“The Langhu Cultivation Realm I went to is just one of them. Rumor has it that in the central region of Cangzhou Field, there exist beings that surpass the Split-Soul Honorables, strong beings referred to as the Dao Masters, and Incorporeal Dao Masters. If you go further, there is the legendary Combined-Spirit Dao Juniors.”
“However, it’s a bit too far to get there. One would need to go through a series of cross-field teleportation arrays, and I don’t have enough spirit stones.”
