Chapter 581: 182 Threshold of the Eight-Turn Golden Core_2

The faces of the three women, Lin Qingxia, immediately changed.

“However, he has no idea that the Xuan Gui Beast Taming is in my hands,” Su Yu said, “So, all of you, be careful not to mention the Xuan Gui Beast Taming.”

Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, and Yang Yumin replied in unison, “Master, rest assured, we will keep quiet about it!”

At that moment, a woman in a pale green dress stepped into the Pill Hall store, asking, “Is anyone here?”

Hearing this, Lin Qingxia immediately said, “Master, let me attend to the customer.”

Lin Qingxia quickly headed out, while Su Yu glanced outside the Pill Hall, observing the customer with his Soul Vision. Upon looking, he was slightly surprised.

The newcomer bore a resemblance to Fan Xiao, his junior sister, who had recently become the disciple of the land immortal’s estate’s master!

The visitor purchased not only common third-grade elixirs but also three top-quality Golden Core pills at a high price and left with a smiling face full of satisfaction.

After Lin Qingxia returned, Su Yu asked, “What’s her name?”

Lin Qingxia replied, “Her surname seemed to be Fan, but I’m not sure about her first name. She mentioned that she had come here once before, but we Pill Hall does not accept alchemical commissions, so she had to come again for purchases.”

This must be from the Fan Family, a cultivator family from the Earth Ridge Immortal City, and Fan Xiao’s family.

As for the woman just now, could she be Fan Xiao’s elder sister? Her vitality was stronger than Fan Xiao’s, and her cultivation level was at the 7th layer of the Core Formation Realm, not far from the peak of Core Formation.

I wonder why the Fan Family is out purchasing so many top-quality third-grade elixirs.

Su Yu didn’t dwell on this, quickly pushing it to the back of his mind.

After learning about the whereabouts of the Xuan Gui Sea Clan, Su Yu stayed inside his Pill Hall for a while, focusing on cultivation and concocting elixirs, stocking up for the store.

A year later, his proficiency in the fourth layer of the Golden Cicada method had reached 10%. Su Yu clearly felt his soul power had improved, becoming even more substantial.

An soul power on par with a True Monarch in the 2nd level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

After a minor breakthrough in the Golden Cicada method, Su Yu left his home, used the Void Sky Escape Skill to reach the above Ten Monarch Immortal City, purchased some potion materials and delicious food, brought back several jars of fantastic spiritual wine to the Pill Hall.

That night, he shared a few drinks with Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, and Yang Yumin to celebrate the improvement in his abilities. Their days were delightful.

Time flew, and two years passed.

The Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law smoothly reached its consummation level. Shortly after, Su Yu was on the brink of a breakthrough to the eighth level of the Golden Core, with an illusory Dao pattern emerging on the Golden Core inside his body.

The appearance of the eighth Dao pattern filled Su Yu with joy.

If he could feel the threshold of the eighth-turn Golden Core, then it wouldn’t be long before he could achieve the Golden Core Dao foundational level of the eighth-turn!

His goal of achieving the ninth-turn Golden Core was not too far away.

Apart from the progress of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, his Dao Law skills, i.e., the Cicada Pupa Dao Law, had been successfully promoted to a minor success level. By implementing this Dao Law, he felt that his life expectancy had reduced by at least 40%.

This meant that when ten years passed outside, he only used up six years of lifespan under the influence of the Cicada Pupa Dao Law!

Although there were some restrictions after the Cicada Pupa Dao Law was used, like he could not move, with this Dao Law, he could save much of his lifespan and live longer!

Given his remaining life expectancy of more than a thousand years, he might be able to live close to two thousand years!

With such smooth progress in cultivation, Dao foundation, Dao Law, and other areas, Su Yu began to consider other matters, such as fourth-grade elixirs, fourth-grade charms, fourth-grade formations, and fourth-grade puppetry.

“With my current mana and foundation, it’s time to try refining fourth-grade elixirs, creating fourth-grade charms and forging fourth-grade puppets,” Su Yu thought to himself.

He placed the sea turtle hideout, the Magic Artifact Palace, under the watch of Lin Qingxia.

Then, Su Yu quietly departed, returning to the immortal land through the transportation array of the Ten Monarch Immortal City.

He was back in the Immortal Gate’s main peak, the Hall of Affairs.

Su Yu undertook some daily tasks accumulated over the past few years. He chose a task that involved going to the Pill Hall to concoct elixirs. He then pulled out a checklist, letting the disciples in the Hall of Affairs calculate how many contribution values are needed for redemption.

The main item was a set of materials for a top-quality low-level fourth-grade puppet — the Shadow Sword True Puppet.

If he were to gather and buy the materials outside, it would probably cost four to five hundred thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones.

It should be a bit cheaper within the Immortal Gate, but contribution values are required.

It’s possible to exchange medium-grade Spirit Stones for contribution points, but the value may not be great.

After all considerations, the price difference might not be significant, just more convenient.

“Uncle-Master, the calculation is done, it’s going to take four hundred and twenty-seven thousand two hundred Contribution Value points.” The disciple from the affairs hall respectfully handed back the checklist, with a look of surprise on his face.

He naturally could see the purpose of this list, it was clearly for the materials needed to craft a fourth-order, lower-grade puppet.

The Uncle-Master before him, who was quite influential in the Great Fool Peak, was trying to forge a fourth-order puppet?

But he- he was only at the Core Formation stage!

Su Yu had about ten thousand Contribution Value points left. He took out some mid-grade Spirit Stones from his Qingyue ring to exchange for Contribution Value points, and then left with the materials from the affairs hall.

The disciple from the affairs hall was left in shock.

This Uncle-Master was so fat…no, rich? He casually took out several hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones!

On the other side.

Su Yu didn’t head straight to the Pill Hall, but returned to the Great Fool Peak first, thinking about the forging of the Shadow Sword True Puppet.

“To forge such a True Puppet, it would probably take over ten years. The cost of the materials alone is over four hundred thousand, plus ten years of labor. No wonder the fourth-order puppets on the market are so expensive.”

He sighed in his heart. Even if he devoted all his attention to it, it would still take ten years.

And he could only spare some of his free time-

To do this, it would probably take more than twenty years?

After returning to the Great Fool Peak, he found that his master, Taoist Tianyu, was not there.

But his junior apprentice sister, Fan Xiao, was still there.

“Uncle-Master Yu, the Old Master went to the Fantasy Sea Marshes, probably half a year ago, and it might be a while before he comes back.” Fan Xiao, in her white dress, stood in front of the small courtyard she had set up next to Su Yu’s cave, smiling at Su Yu.

This time she came back, her cultivation had improved and she had reached the fifth level of the Core Formation stage. Furthermore, her Dao foundation had also made progress, and she was now at the fourth turn of the Golden Core.

As soon as Su Yu had just returned, Fan Xiao issued a challenge to him to spar at the same cultivation level.

“Bang!”

The moment Fan Xiao began to cast her spell, Su Yu’s figure split apart like a phantom bubble, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a voice saying, “Uncle-Master has something to do, let’s do it next time, let’s do it next time!”

Su Yu got away quickly. This girl was really strong, and if she got tangled up with him, it would not be easy to escape. He didn’t want to provoke her.

Fan Xiao looked at the little Uncle-Master who had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Her eyes widened in surprise. “This speed-” She didn’t even notice when Su Yu left!

Even after Su Yu disappeared, she didn’t react!

Fan Xiao’s face was solemn for a moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she reevaluated Su Yu’s strength.

‘Did Uncle-Master conceal his strength?’ Fan Xiao mumbled to herself.

It’s been so long, and just now saw a hint.

Meanwhile, after spending several months at the Pill Hall, Su Yu completed his daily tasks for the Immortal Sect.

Later, Su Yu went to Moon Mist Peak and met with Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan, and Taoist Shuhai for half a day before returning to the Ten Monarchs’ Immortal City and continued his grand money-making plan at the Cloud Sky Pill Hall.

The Crimson Shadow Puppet of his Dao Body Puppet had been continuously repaired over the years and was not far from full recovery.

But the Crimson Shadow Puppet was just a top-tier, fourth-order lower-grade puppet. Its peak strength was equivalent to a third-level True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he wanted to enhance the power of the Dao Body Puppet, obviously, he needed to keep making money to collect materials. Once he had them, he can either let the Dao Body Puppet break through to a fourth-order puppet using its puppet soul ability or he could collect materials himself and forge a fourth-order, mid-tier puppet.

Regardless of which plan he chose, a significant amount of resources was required.

In addition to the fourth-order elixirs, talismans, formations, and the investment in a teleportation array-

The amount of Spirit Stones he needed was still astronomical.

“I have to keep working hard.” Su Yu prepared to have the Dao Body Puppet leave the Big Moon Mansion and return to Sangmu Mansion or Huangling Island to make money. Recently, there hasn’t been much news about the Sea Monster Tide in the Overlay Mountains Sea area.

He didn’t know what the situation was over there and whether the nest on Huangling Island was still intact.
