Afterwards, the puppet of Dao’s body went to the dual caves of Sun and Moon Island beneath the fire and ice. There, it peacefully devoured the essence of the Grade 3 Spirit Mineral Stone, Glittering Gold Jade Spirit Stone. Su Yu, on the other hand, took the ring from the Dao puppet and emerged from there.
At night.
In the courtyard outside the palace, under the shroud of night, strands of cool moonlight sprinkled into the courtyard. Looking up, under the magic of the formations, one could even see a half moon hanging in the sky.
In the night breeze, the leaves and branches of an osmanthus tree by the pavilion rustled.
Within the pavilion, Yu Ke’er, clad in a light purple gown, looked somewhat aloof. However, she was preparing tea for Su Yu, all the while discussing the arrangements for the Fairy Zhiyan.
After brewing the Spiritual Tea, Yu Ke’er got up and poured Su Yu a cup, then sat back down and poured herself one. Looking at Su Yu, she calmly said, “Taoist Friend Zhiyan’s residence in our clan has been arranged.”
“Tomorrow, I’ll have Xiao Qi take her to stroll around the spirit fields of Dan Mountain. We can then see whether she would like to take over the family’s spirit fields.”
She said this with a light smile, “If she agrees, Elder Su Zhen would be overjoyed. His advancing age, coupled with the failed attempt to advance to Foundation Establishment Realm has weakened him substantially. He now finds things increasingly beyond his capabilities.”
“If Taoist Friend Zhiyan takes over the spirit fields, Elder Su Zhen can rest and concentrate on his cultivation.”
Su Yu gently nodded, asking, “How is Elder Su Dajun doing?”
Su Dajun, who was previously an elder, along with Su Peng and Su He tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm by consuming the Underworld Pill. However, things went awry leading to a failed breakthrough, significant loss of vitality, and a reduced lifespan.
Although he later consumed a Lifespan Extension Pill, it was ultimately a palliative, not a cure.
A few years ago, Su Dajun stepped down from his position as elder, and it was Su Dingbang who took his place.
Now, more than eight years have passed.
Yu Ke’er spoke in a low voice, “Things aren’t looking good. He probably has about one year left.”
Changing the topic, Yu Ke’er looked at Su Yu and said, “Xiao Qi has been at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm for quite some time now, and so has
Third Elder Rui’an and Elder Ding Bang, who reached this level three years ago. When will you let them attempt a breakthrough?”
Su Yu frowned slightly and said, “Are they confident about breaking through on their own?”
Yu Ke’er shook her head, “Perhaps we better not try. While breaking through without using a Foundation Establishment Pill might be beneficial in the long run, its actual impact isn’t that significant.”
“My highest expectation for the three of them is to reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Su Yu fell briefly into a trance, then came back to his senses.
Indeed!
Not everyone shares his goals of pursuing the Golden Core Path and attaining immortality!
Like Su Qi, Su Rui’an, Su Dingbang, and the other younger members of the Su Family don’t need to worry about these things at all.
Because their talents simply can’t sustain them to reach that stage.
Once he had deliberated, Su Yu immediately said, “Leave the decision up to them. Both you and the Family Head have top-grade Foundation
Establishment Pills. Let them ask you for one when the time comes.”
After discussing these matters, Su Yu spent the rest of his time drinking tea and talking to Yu Ke’er about the Black Market of Dayue City.
When they started discussing Flat Mountain Taoist’s cave ruins, he gestured, and two ancient jade boxes were placed in front of Yu Ke’er. He grinned, “Take a look at these two.”
“What are they?” Yu Ke’er asked curiously as she picked up an ancient jade box and sent her Divine Sense into it.
In an instant, an amber long dress adorned with intricate phoenix patterns, and radiating a faint light, captured her attention.
The gown not only exuded a dignified aura but also shone brightly, emanating a queenly majesty.
The sight of this dress took Yu Ke’er’s breath away.
It took her a moment to regain her senses, then after feeling the aura of the Magic Artifact dress again, her face changed. She looked up at Su Yu in astonishment, “This… is this a semi-ultimate-grade Magic Artifact!?”
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “This was discovered in the remains of that residence. Not only does it possess incredible defensive power, but it also carries an awe-inspiring presence. The weak will lose heart at the sight of it, and the oppressive power of the strong will also weaken. Even a True Man in the early Core Formation Stage cannot affect you with their oppressive might.”
Yu Ke’er’s face lit up with joy. Previously, she had been piqued that Su Yu had brought Fairy Zhiyan back. She was concerned that he might have intentions towards Fairy Zhiyan, causing her to feel somewhat insecure. But now, all those feelings were cast to the back of her mind.
The joy of receiving this gift filled her.
Suddenly, she felt that the gift took on an extraordinary significance to her.
Su Yu pointed to the other ancient jade box, “Have a look at this one too.”
Yu Ke’er asked, surprised, “There’s more?”
She put down the ancient jade box and picked up the other one. As she sent her Divine Sense into it, the luxurious jewelry set inside immediately bewitched her. It was simply too beautiful.
A phoenix crown and matching hairpin, earrings.
This set of jewelry obviously matched the Magic Artifact long dress!
And this set of jewelry resonated with the dress, forming yet another semi-ultimate-grade Magic Artifact!
If paired with the long dress, it was no weaker than a typical ultimate-grade Magic Artifact!
Even more precious than a typical ultimate-grade Magic Artifact, because it could already be used in the Foundation Establishment Stage!
It remained just as potent during the Core Formation Stage!
“I… You…” Yu Ke’er was overjoyed to the point of tears, the emotional roller coaster overwhelming her.
Su Yu drained his cup of Spiritual Tea in one gulp, smiled, and held Yu Ke’er’s hand as they left, “Let’s go. Let’s go back and see how well these suit you..”
