Chapter 43: 043 Mutation_l
Translator: 549690339
A year after Su Zhi broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she hosted a banquet at the Yun Mountain market. She invited a host of Yunjian
Sect disciples, including the First Elder’s personal disciple Luo Qianyu, and Su Yu, Chen Sisi, Su Qingyi, and others.
At the banquet, Su Yu noticed that Luo Qianyu was the person who had
changed the most over the years.
In less than five years of breaking through the Foundation Establishment
Realm, she had already reached the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
She seemed to not be far from the third level.
Surely enough, this talent was indeed the personal disciple of the First Elder of the Yunjian Sect.
At this banquet, Su Yu became an invisible person. Apart from nodding to people like Luo Qianyu and Yu Qianqing, who he had met before, he quietly sat in one corner.
The banquet ended.
Su Yu chatted with Su Zhi for a while and took the opportunity to collect from her the puppet beast materials he had her privately collect for him. A pair of wings from a second-stage early Ironwing eagle beast!
And the claws of the Ironwing eagle!
“With this, a Qi Refinement stage or first stage demon beast will rarely be able to resist a claw from the Dragon-Eagle Puppet Beast. If there is, then it will take two claws,” Su Yu hurried back to the Pill Pavilion, ran straight to the secret chamber, full of anticipation. Another year and a half passed.
That day.
In the secret chamber, Su Yu looked at the monster in front of him. It stood nearly two Zhang high, its body was silver-white, it had a pair of large wings and a pair of sharp claws, but it also had a long dragon tail.
Although this guy looked weird, its power was terrifying.
Su Yu stood and admired it for a long time, increasingly satisfied in his heart. The ‘Dragon-Eagle Puppet Beast’, which he had researched for more than two years, was finally completed.
The consumption was a bit big, bigger than he imagined, and it took almost three thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
“This toy, I don’t know if it can hold up against the Foundation Establishment
Realm, but for the Qi Refinement Realm and the first-stage demon beasts, they’re no match for one clawing from it!”
Three thousand lower-grade spirit stones, worth it!
After appreciating it, Su Yu then put this puppet beast into his Qiankun bag and turned to leave the secret chamber.
He had been in seclusion in the secret chamber for more than half a year and didn’t know what was happening outside.
When he saw his master Su Yun again, it was visibly apparent that Su Yun was aging year by year. What was once silver hair had now turned half white.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had been at the Pill Pavilion for twelve to thirteen years. The Second Elder, who was only in his seventies, was now in his nineties.
Seeing Su Yu come out of his seclusion, and looking at Su Yu’s face which hadn’t changed much over these many years, Su Yun sighed, “I feel that your achievement in the future will surpass that of Xiao Zhi. You are much more steady than I imagined.”
Hearing a hint of melancholy in Su Yun’s tone, Su Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve only been in seclusion for over half a year. Everything outside should be fine, right?”
Su Yun fell silent for a moment, then said, “The Family Head was ambushed on his way to the Chen Family and died. Qingyi betrayed our family and joined the demonic path.”
Su Yu’s pupils contracted and anger arose from his heart.
Su Yu exclaimed, “The First Elder died?! Su Qingyi betrayed the family and joined the demonic path?! Su Qingyi, how dare he? He’s asking for death!”
Su Yun fell silent for a moment, then said, “The Fifth Elder and Xiao Zhi both went looking for him, but they couldn’t find him. Those who ambushed the Family Head have also disappeared.”
Su Yu frowned and asked, “Why did the demonic path ambush the First Elder?”
Su Yun shook his head. He also had doubts, and even suspicion. The Su Family was still on guard against any sudden changes, but nothing had occurred so far.
So now Su Yun leaned more towards believing that it was an accidental encounter between the First Elder and those demonic path individuals.
“The Fifth Elder is now the Su Family’s Grandmaster. The Family Head wants me to return and become the First Elder. You will take over the Pill Pavilion and become the Fifth Elder in the family.”
Su Yun continued, “The Third Elder is now the Second Elder. The Fourth Elder is now held by Jing Bang, who reached the Qi Refinement Realm eight stage a few years ago. The Third and Fourth Elders’ cultivation is now at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.”
Su Yu frowned and fell silent.
Su Yun glanced at him, motioned with his hand, and a somewhat restrained teenager, at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, stepped forward and ceremoniously bowed to Su Yu, saying, “Su Rui’an greets the Fifth Elder.” Su Yun said, “Rui’an is a descendant of the main lineage, making him your nephew. He’s nineteen this year.”
“He has a mid-grade wood attribute Spiritual Root. I’ve taught him for a while and he has some talent in alchemy. As long as he puts in the effort, becoming a first rank, top tier Alchemist isn’t a big problem.”
Aside from Su Rui’an, several alchemy apprentices also came to the pill pavilion.
The arrival of these young faces made the pill pavilion more lively.
Su Yun introduced the newly arrived youth to Su Yu, then said, “I know your ambition lies not in the pill pavilion, even less so in the family.”
“However, we old folks are aging, and the future of our family has to rely on you young people.”
“The pill pavilion still needs someone to oversee it, hence, look at Rui’an and the others and try to choose a suitable successor.”
Saying that, Su Yun handed a jade slip to Su Yu.
Su Yun said, “This is the inheritance of a second rank, lower tier pill master that Fifth Brother won for you at an auction in Bai Yue Immortal City awhile back. ”
“The reach of my talent is limited; breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm is almost an impossible task for me, therefore, this second rank, lower tier Pill Master is just a dream.”
“I hope, I am able to witness the birth of the first second rank Pill Master of our Su Family.”
With hopeful eyes, Su Yun looked at Su Yu.
Half a month after Su Yu exit his seclusion, a Qi Refinement Realm seventh level relative named Su Dajun, took over as the new person in charge of transporting spiritual medicine.
With Su Dajun’s arrival, Su Yun followed the small team transporting spiritual medicine back home to the Cang Mountain.
Although Su Yu was somewhat uncomfortable, the pill pavilion’s affairs weren’t too overwhelming.
Teaching those youngsters, including a former first grade, mid-tier Pill Master and three first grade, lower-tier Pill Masters of the pill pavilion was not difficult.
Although things happened suddenly, Su Yu didn’t plan to leave so soon.
At least until his cultivation reached the seventh level of the Qi Refinement
Realm, and his three side jobs – Pill Master, Talisman Designing Master and Puppet Master, reached the second rank lower tier, he didn’t intend to leave.
“The Pill Master and the Puppet Master have the second tier inheritance, so now I just need the Talisman Designing Master.” While practicing cultivation, alchemy, and drawing talismans every day, Su Yu pondered the matter of the second-tier Talisman Designing Master’s inheritance.
One day, as Su Yu was on his way to the Scripture Pavilion, an attack suddenly came into view.
In addition, numerous needle-like magic artifacts came at him covertly.
However, the next moment, a golden light emerged from Su Yu and transformed into a golden bell shield. The images of a dragon and tiger appeared, roaring in all directions, making the golden bell seem even more solid.
“Bang!”
The magical artifact that was thrust towards him like a sharp arrow fell on the golden bell and was immediately bounced off.
Those tiny needle-like magic artifacts became embedded in the golden bell shield without being able to move.
These were first layer upper-tier defense talismans drawn by Su Yu called
Dragon Tiger Talismans, modified from his orizinal Golden Lizht Talismans.
Su Yu looked in the direction of his attacker. Although the person seemed unfamiliar and had a damaged appearance, the force of the life essence reminded him of the past. He blurted, “Lin Danlang? Is it you?”
Could this guy still be alive?
However, he dares to attack him with only the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm?
He shook his head. As soon as Lin Danlang’s face changed drastically and he turned to flee, Su Yu took out a first layer upper-tier flame arrow talisman, and activated it by injecting mana.
“Swish!”
A crimson flame arrow shot across the sky and penetrated Lin Danlang’s back.
“Boom!”
Flames scattered, blood mist exploded.
Such is fate. Ever since the emergence of the Cang Mountain Spirit Vein, it had been predestined that the bitterness between the Su and Lin families would come to an end. The last remnant of the Lin family has finally met a fate of being torn into pieces..
