And once these talented and gifted individuals grow, they are bound to maintain excellent relationships with the high-ranking individuals and the Heaven Market Hall.
The relationship network is the fundamental board for Heavenly Market Hall to stand in the Great Moon Prefecture.
After buying two second-grade high-quality wood spirit god-eating talismans from Su Yu and acquiring Su Yu’s twenty second-grade average-quality talismans that he created during the past half-month, as well as alchemical pills made by Su Qi and Su Rui’an, Taoist Xiuyu left after leaving Su Yu with fifty batches of second-grade high-quality talisman materials.
Looking at the fifty batches of second-grade high-quality talisman materials in his hand, Su Yu pondered, “This might have something to do with the beast-attracting powder recipe.”
Exchanges of favors involved giving and receiving.
Perhaps through this process, both parties might gain increasingly significant returns.
The Heavenly Market Hall has received quite a bit of alchemical pills and talismans from him.
He, on the other hand, was able to enter the Inner Market with the backing of the Heavenly Market Hall and now received fifty batches of second-grade high-quality talisman materials for practice, free of charge.
These were his gains.
“Nice. With these fifty batches of materials, I might be able to increase the completion rate of the Wood Spirit God-Eating Talisman to thirty percent,” Su Yu was secretly overjoyed.
These second-grade high-quality materials were somewhat difficult to collect for an average person.
He had spent a long time just to collect less than forty batches of second-grade high-quality talisman materials.
Yet, half a month of practicing a single Wood Spirit God-Eating Talisman has already consumed thirty batches and only increased the completion rate to less than twenty percent.
To further increase this rate, he can’t do without these resources.
As for where major forces like the Heavenly Market Hall get their resources from…
Considering the large-scale beast tide during the Great Moon Black Market this time, perhaps cultivator families with power, like the Yu Family, might also benefit, amassing quite a few beast materials.
But the ones with the greatest gain will definitely be the major forces like the
Great Moon Palace, the Heavenly Market Hall, the Kaivang Palace, and the Beast Taming Li Family.
After those second-grade beasts and even third-grade beasts died, most of their materials would definitely fall into their hands.
After sorting those materials, they might become materials for alchemy, artifact refining, talisman drawing, puppet refining, and so on.
For instance, demon beast skins are one of the raw materials for talisman papers.
Although other resources like spirit jade, spirit bamboo, spirit mineral stones, could be used as well, most of those are actually owned by these major forces.
Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Market Hall afford to be so extravagant?
As these thoughts occurred to him, Su Yu couldn’t help thinking about himself, or the Su Family –
If they wanted to accumulate such underlying strength, there might only be one way to do that.
“The total amount of resources in a region is always limited. If you want to get them, you need to pull a tooth from the tiger’s mouth,” thought Su Yu, “The Jiang Family and the Huang Family have been hoarding for so many years, they must have quite a stockpile.”
A moment later, Su Yu gave himself a metaphorical smack on the tongue and suppressed this dangerous idea for the time being.
He’ll wait and see. He has a long life and still has over 200 years ahead.
He has all these years to plot his accumulated foundation.
If he accumulates little by little every year, although accumulating high -grade resources is difficult now, over the years it would amass a considerable amount.
He would just wait for the right opportunity. It was bound to come.
He turned and went back to his secret room.
For the following time, Su Yu started to draw a large number of second-grade high-quality talismans, squandering the material resources of the Heavenly Market Hall, ignoring second-grade average-quality talismans, and devoting all of his spare time outside daily cultivation on second-grade high-quality talismans.
These materials were rare for him to practice on, it’d be a waste not to use them.
About twenty days after Su Yu arrived at the Great Moon Black Market, a sudden surge of beast qi erupted from the Great Moon Ridge. The ground trembled violently. Su Yu quickly rushed out of his secret room and looked in the direction of the Great Moon Ridge.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Su Zhi, Su Qi, Su Rui’an, Li Pingchang, and others all rushed out to look in that direction.
Su Zhi’s face was solemn as she whispered, “Another beast tide is coming.”
Feeling the horrifying beast tide energy coming from the direction of Great
Moon Ridge, Su Qi’s face went pale. She quickly walked to Su Zhi’s side and clung to her aunt’s arm to calm herself down.
Seeing Li Pingchang swallowing nervously and his pupils dilating, Su Yu reassured, “Don’t worry. Even if the beast tide breaches the outer line of defense, it won’t break through the Inner Market. The Great Moon Palace and the Heavenly Market Hall, these forces, still hold to their reputation.” He and Su Zhi and the others remained in the courtyard, watching the commotion outside.
In the secret room, the Taoist Corpse Puppet used the Earth Escape Technique to quietly leave and headed to the Yu Family’s defense line.
During this period of time, the Taoist Corpse Puppet had consumed many other material essences, and now its strength was close to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Taking into account its formidable body that had consumed countless essences of glittering golden spirit stones, it could withstand a few attacks even from a ninth-level Foundation Establisher, unscathed.
Although it was not a match for a ninth-level Foundation Establisher, it would also be difficult for a ninth-level Foundation Establisher to break its defense.
In less than half an hour.
The Taoist Corpse Puppet quietly arrived at the formation site guarded by the Yu Family. This place lied on the boundary of the Great Moon Black Market and the former peripheral area. Going forward would lead to a resting area where cultivators enter the Great Moon Ridge for hunting or material collections — the outer market area.
But now, the defense line there had been broken by the Great Moon Ridge’s beast tide a long time ago.
Now, the cultivators were guarding the second line of defense.
Behind this line of defense were the sites of different forces.
Further ahead was the core area, the Inner Market..
