Over at Five Flame Mountain, Su Yu did not choose to get involved or to go join in the commotion.
Even when the Su Family began to secretly promote their family’s Pill Master’s reputation, boasting that he could handle the refining of second-class intermediate pills and Foundation Establishment pills, his routine remained unchanged: Daily cultivation practice, nurturing the Bingpo Pearl and fruit kernel seed, while also taking some time to feed his two tamed beasts.
In his spare time, he contemplated the blending of earth and wood tactics. He had made some progress with the fusion of earth-wood-double-aspect Foundation Establishment Realm level two techniques—it would probably take some time to complete the process.
Compared to before, his daily practice now included the fire attribute technique of Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Technique.
As time passed, more and more news came from Five Flame Mountain. The Alchemist who was killed by the White Flame Demon Path from the Yu Family was none other than the second-class, low-quality Alchemist, Yu Dongfei, whom they had previously met from the third branch of the Yu Family.
The Yu Family was outraged. Yu Ke’er’s father was leading the family’s second-class, top-notch beast tamer along with their clan members to hunt down the White Flame Alchemist.
Powerful figures from both the Jiang Family and the Huang Family also appeared. As for the Yunjian Sect, the First Elder of the Yunjian Sect came out of seclusion to deal with the Five Flame Mountain affair.
Five days after the incident at Five Flame Mountain, the first loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm’s fifth level approached the Su Family: “Excuse me, but does your family have a second-class intermediate Pill Master who can take up pill refining tasks? I need some second-class intermediate pills.”
Yu Qianqing brought the man to meet Su Yu, and half a day later, the first order that boosted the Su Family’s reputation as a Pill Master’s family was completed.
Subsequently, more and more cultivators flocked to Cang Mountain. Some loose cultivators and cultivating families who were originally dependent on the White Flame Alchemist for pill refining began desperately looking for alternatives when they heard about the incident at Five Flame Mountain.
Fortunately for them, news came out that the Su Family of River City’s Cang Mountain was capable of refining second-class intermediate pills and Foundation Establishment pills.
Being able to refine second-class intermediate pills was not uncommon.
But openly advertising the refining of Foundation Establishment pills was indeed rare.
Usually, Foundation Establishment pills were made by second-class, high-quality Alchemists, while other Alchemists could only look for opportunities to learn how to make Foundation Establishment pills on their own.
Before, loose cultivators and cultivating families under the Yunjian Sect relied on Five Flame Mountain for the refining of Foundation Establishment pills.
But now, they urgently needed a Pill Master who could refine Foundation Establishment pills.
The Su Family became an excellent alternative.
Guests flocked to Cang Mountain. However, Su Yu did not need to receive them personally. He only appeared when someone needed second-class intermediate pills or Foundation Establishment pills, and there was no need for him to refine lower quality pills, such as second-class-low-quality pills and first-class pills.
Thus, in just a month, the Su Family received orders amounting to nearly one hundred thousand lower-class spirit stones.
These orders were enough to keep the Su Family busy for a year.
And gradually, the Su Family started to gain some recognition in the territory of the Yunjian Sect.
Inside the secret chamber.
Su Yu was not particularly busy. In the Yunjian Sect’s territory, there weren’t many loose mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivators or family cultivators. He could meet their needs just by casually refining a few batches of pills.
He wouldn’t get involved in tasks below the secondary intermediate level.
Because this was a rare opportunity for practice, making more pills would benefit people like Yu Qianqing and Su Rui’an, especially the Su Family’s Alchemists. In the future, the reputation of the Su Family’s Pill Master would
have to be maintained by them.
Su Yu chose to let go.
At this moment, Su Yu continued to absorb the teachings and insights given by Taoist Bing Yu.
“Core Formation Realm is the first major hurdle faced by loose cultivators. Foundation Establishment Realm is not, nor is it worthy to be, it’s merely the threshold of cultivation.
“It took me only ten years to promote from Qi Refinement Realm level one to Foundation Establishment Realm, but from Foundation Establishment Realm level one to Core Formation Realm, I spent one hundred and sixty years.”
“Core Formation Realm has two types… Well, some people also count False Core into the Core Formation Realm, which is a joke. What is a False Core? At the eighth or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I could easily crush it!”
“There are truly only two kinds of Core Formation Realm, one is the ordinary
Core Formation, and the other is the refining of the Golden Core.”
“The goal and regret of my life is the Golden Core, but the path of the Golden Core — how difficult it is!!!”
“For this, I have struggled for more than a hundred years, collecting numerous treasures to temper my mana and foundation. In the end, I just barely formed a first rotation Golden Core.’
“If it can be said that during the periods of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment, I had some slight talent and arrogance, then this Golden Core has completely ground down my sharpness… Alas, the path of the Golden Core is the path to becoming an Immortal!”
“Remember, if there is a possibility to enhance the quality of the Core Formation, then strive for it at all costs!”
“If one could form the legendary Nine Rotations Golden Core… they could be invincible in the world!”
Su Yu had a dazed look on his face. The experience of Taoist Bing Yu’s core formation and his imparting of the Dao, gave him a clear understanding and direction for his own cultivation, especially the methods Taoist Bing Yu left behind about how to condense the Golden Core, and how to improve the quality of the Golden Core.
This was the most precious thing in Taoist Bing Yu’s inheritance, even more precious than cultivation techniques, with no close second.
“So, if I want to attain Core Formation, I should aim for the Golden Core? Only by achieving the Golden Core can I possibly become an Immortal. The ordinary Core Formation offers no chance.” Su Yu’s expression was solemn. He didn’t know if this point was included in the inheritance of those major forces, but he felt it was very likely.
And these knowledge or experiences inherited are the difference between a Loose Cultivator and a major force.
One could only rely on themselves to explore, while the other has a guide.
Completely different matters.
After deep contemplation for a long time, Su Yu gradually conceived an idea about Core Formation.
Perhaps, he could use the Five Elements to achieve the path of the Golden Core.
It is just unclear whether the uncombined Five Elements could enhance the quality of the Golden Core?
If not, he might still have to find a way to start with the fusion of the Five Elements and create his own Five Elements cultivation technique.
Suddenly, Su Yu felt a surge of adrenaline, a sense of danger rose in his heart, causing his hairs to stand on end.
This made Su Yu’s face slightly change and he quickly left the secret room.
Su Yu sent Su Peng a message: “Family Head, activate the Mountain Protection Array, quickly!”
On the other side, Su Peng, who was entertaining a cultivator from a Foundation Establishment family, changed his expression upon the message, immediately took out from his hand a second-order puppet beast to guard him.
Then he took out an array flag and immediately poured his mana into it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As the control array flag fell into the nodes of the Mountain Protection Array, with a hum, a second-order array was activated, a boundless barrier covering the entire Cang Mountain. A terrifying aura surged, sealing off Cang Mountain.
This scene stunned some guests who had come to request for pills.
Meanwhile.
Not even thirty miles from Cang Mountain, three figures quietly approached the Su Family.
One of them, a man whose hair emitted faint red light, said indifferently: “In recent times, the Su Family has been much talked about. After the fall of Five Fire Mountain, they must have benefited greatly, hehehe.”
A man with a enchantingly handsome face smiling next to him said: “If they knew that all of this had attracted you, they would probably cry.”
Behind the enchanting man, someone was respectfully leading the way for the two of them.
At this point however, the Cang Mountain not far from the Su Family suddenly surged with an aura, and a fearsome second order Mountain Protection Array was activated.
The scene caused the three men to pause in their steps, their expressions changing..
