Chapter 63: 063 Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast_l
Translator: 549690339
Su Zhi was born in Yunjian Sect and knew how rare it was to obtain a top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill. Even the Second Elder in Yunjian Sect, who is a first-class second-grade alchemist, had only managed to produce a few of these after so many years.
Possibly, one in every five or six batches of Foundation Establishment Pills might randomly yield a top-quality one.
However, in the Yunjian Sect, only those privileged direct disciples could request such top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, while others didn’t even have a chance to exchange for them.
Initially, Su Zhi didn’t have high expectations for how many Foundation Establishment Pills Su Yu could make. She would be satisfied with just a single common -quality pill.
But now, as she looked at the two top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills and two common-quality Foundation Establishment Pills in front of her, she realized just how incredibly talented her younger brother was in alchemy.
Su Zhi was left speechless for a while before finally managing to contain her excitement and joy. She looked at Su Yu and said, “If your alchemy skills were to be known by others, there’d surely be many people seeking you to make pills.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately responded, “No, this was merely a fortunate accident.’
“Besides, I am only at the Qi Refinement Realm. If this gets out, it might bring more harm than good.”
At these words, Su Zhi’s expression changed slightly as she remembered that Su Yu was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Yet despite being at such a cultivation level, he could produce top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills…
“Phew…”
Su Zhi took a deep breath once again and looked at Su Yu with a complex expression. “You do have a monstrous talent in alchemy, just like how Junior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Yu described you.”
“If only your Spiritual Root talent was better, or you had mine, that would be so much better.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu laughed, “Sister, I don’t want your Spiritual Root.”
“Spiritual Root talent is determined by fate, but someone’s achievements are not necessarily. Just like Bai Yue from the rumors, didn’t he also succeed in becoming a True Man in Core Formation, despite having a low-grade Spiritual Root?”
“My cultivation progress is actually satisfactory so far, I’m making steady progress.”
After their casual conversation, Su Yu and Su Zhi discussed how to deal with these Foundation Establishment Pills.
“The First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder are all quite old now. Although they’re at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, there’s almost no chance of them breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, even with the Foundation Establishment Pills. I doubt they’ll choose to take them.”
“Thus, our family currently only has two candidates. One is my father, now seventy-three years old, and the other is Fourth Elder Su Jingbang, who is seventy-five.”
“Both of them are teetering on the edge of a potential breakthrough into the
Foundation Establishment Realm, but the chances of failure are high.”
Su Zhi began to explain the situation of the Su family.
“There are also a few younger ones, in their fifties or sixties, at Qi Refinement Realm level eight. Our family has four of them.”
“They don’t need to be considered for now, we’ll see how their fortunes play out in the future.
In response, Su Yu said, “In that case, let’s have the Family Head and Elder
Jingbang come to Bai Yue Immortal City.”
“There are two top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, just enough for the two of them.’
Su Zhi immediately objected when she heard this, “No, you have to keep at least one top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill for yourself.”
Su Yu was left speechless, unsure of how to respond.
He didn’t have a cultivation bottleneck, he could break through once his proficiency was high enough.
This was the same even for the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But obviously, he couldn’t say this aloud, nor could he explain it.
Looking at Su Yu, Su Zhi said, “You need to listen to me on this, you must keep one top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill for yourself.”
“I’ll write a letter, inviting my father and the Fourth Elder to come to Bai Yue
Immortal City.”
In the following days, the usually quiet courtyard was filled with much more laughter and joy, and the smile on Su Zhi’s face became more frequent.
Aside from his daily cultivation, Su Yu spent his time crafting a second-grade lower-tier Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast.
The materials he prepared for the Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast were all of top-notch quality.
The core was a mid-grade second-grade Demon Beast crystal nucleus.
The Scale Armor and claws were all from a mid-grade second-grade Demon Beast.
Once it’s successfully refined, this Dragon -Crocodile Puppet Beast would no doubt belong to the top tier among the second-order lower-quality puppet beasts.
A typical cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment Realm might struggle when facing a Dragon-Crocodile Puppet Beast.
Besides this.
Su Yu has started practicing the Earth-attribute Foundation Building Cultivation Technique “Xuanming Thick Earth Jue” that he bid for at the auction.
This earth-attribute technique is said to have come from an ancient jade box, and it’s quite mysterious.
However, since it only goes up to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment realm, it’s not particularly valuable.
After practicing it for ten days, Su Yu has reached the first level of Qi Refinement of the Xuanming Thick Earth Jue.
One month later, Su Yu’s cultivation of Xuanming Thick Earth Jue has reached the second level of Qi Refinement.
This rate of progress is astonishing.
Together with his own cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Refinement in Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the assistance of Golden Cicada Method, the practice progress of Xuanming Thick Earth Jue is beyond imagination.
Another month later, Xuanming Thick Earth Jue has reached level three of Qi Refinement.
Additionally, the two earth attribute spells that Su Yu has practiced have reached the state of perfection.
On the other hand, the Su Family was greatly shocked when they received Su
Zhi’s letter. Even though she didn’t mention anything about the Foundation Establishment Pill in the letter, her suggestion for Su Peng and Su Jingbang to try to break through at Bai Yue Xian City was almost equal to a direct statement.
“What’s going on? Didn’t Xiao Zhi go bid for the core material Spirit Fruit? Why is she asking me and the Fourth Elder to try to break through at Bai Yue Xian
“Could it be, she and Little Yu have got the Foundation Establishment Pill? But that’s not right, she invited both of us over, this—”
They were both stunned and confused.
After discussing with other family members, Su Peng and Su Jingbang decided, especially with the conclusion made by Su Bin, who is in Foundation Establishment Realm, to head to Bai Yue Xian City.
However, First Elder Su Yun, Second Elder Su Chang, and Third Elder Su Ruosu didn’t give much thought to it.
They were old and had already given up on the idea of breaking through to Foundation Establishment Realm.
On the contrary.
Seeing that Su Peng and Su Jingbang were heading to Bai Yue Xian City, they were filled with anticipation and hope.
If either of the two could successfully break through to Foundation Establishment Realm, then the strength of the Su Family would increase once again.
This was great news indeed.
Accordingly.
Two months after the Foundation Establishment Pill was made, Su Peng and Su Jingbang arrived at Bai Yue Xian City, at Su Yu’s hut.
“Let’s go. We’re going to rent a cave dwelling in the core area. With the spiritual energy of a third-order Spirit Vein there, it’s more conducive to making a breakthrough.” Once Su Zhi roughly explained about the Foundation Establishment Pill to Su Peng and Su Jingbang, before they regained their senses, Su Yu already led the three of them out the door.
To rent a cave dwelling in the core area for half a year, the rent would cost six hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.
After Su Yu rented a cave dwelling for Su Peng and Su Jingbang to use for their breakthroughs, he asked Su Zhi to stay and protect them while he returned to his own hut to continue refining the Dragon-Crocodile Puppet Beast.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, there’s one remaining top-quality pill and one ordinary-quality pill, both are in his hands.
Refining a puppet beast isn’t easy, but Su Yu started the process several years ago.
Now, he is integrating the missing core part to make it complete.
Therefore, while Su Peng and Su Jingbang were still trying to break through to Foundation Establishment Realm in the cave dwelling in the core area, Su Yu returned to his hut half a month later.
A second-order low-quality Dragon-Crocodile Puppet Beast was successfully refined!
In the secret chamber, a monster resembling a violent dragon that’s three feet tall, yet having the head and limbs of a giant crocodile, appeared.
The form of this Dragon-crocodile Puppet Beast is slightly different from the one on the legacy left by a Puppet Master that Su Yu obtained.
This slightly modified Puppet Beast, clearly possesses a more potent aura..
