Chapter 400: 138 Intermediate Level-3 Alchemist, Talisman Master (10k requests for monthly tickets)_2

Upon thinking this through, Su Yu considered continuing his exploration of the other main peaks.

“I’ll let the Sky Thunder Rat look again within the Mystical Cave, to see if it can find Spirit Jade stones suitable as material for making middle-tier third rank talismans. If that is not successful, we’ll continue exploring the other main peaks.”

The puppet which housed his soul, the Sky Thunder Rat Demon King and a thousand Sky Thunder Rats left.

But, there were still over a thousand Sky Thunder Rats in the Mystical Cave.

Good, they can search too.

Once the Sky Thunder Rat Monster Group was given the task of finding the materials, Su Yu started organizing the mid-grade third rank pill materials in his possession, preparing to make the equivalent rank pill.

There were also mid-grade third rank puppets.

He recalled the inheritance of the Tomb Puppet Technique. It held fourteen different types of mid-tier third rank puppets, including both humanoid puppets and beast-shaped puppets.

“I have enough mid-tier third rank spirit minerals, but I still lack a mid-grade third rank core.” Su Yu thought for a moment, his eyes landing on a humanoid puppet known as the Punisher.

This Punisher, primarily defensive, holds a shield-like magic artifact, resembling a great axe.

Not very agile, but when it fully defends, even a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, would find it difficult to break the defense of the Punisher.

Its description in the inheritance stated it was used by the cultivators of a sect in ancient times, mainly in the execution of punishments.

In that case, he needed a mid-grade third rank earth attribute monster core.

He commanded the Sky Thunder Rat monster group to search the Mystical Cave, to see if there’s an appropriate third rank monster present.

A few months later.

Su Yu had improved his proficiency in making common mid-grade third rank pills to over 30%, barely qualifying as a competent Alchemist of this grade.

The problem was, his mid-grade third rank pill materials were running low.

The status of the spiritual medicines grown in his medicinal garden with the Spiritual Liquid was decent enough.

Conserving his use, he could probably gather around a dozen sets of mid-tier third rank Ocean Green Pill materials in a year.

As his cultivation level increased, it became difficult for him to gather enough materials suitable to his level in the Daqian realm of cultivation.

This wasn’t a unique problem for him alone. Even the Daqian Palace might not have much in the way of third rank materials to spare.

Therefore, in his daily cultivation, Su Yu would sometimes contemplate leaving the Daqian Palace.

Whether he should go on to the central region of the Daqian realm of cultivation, or visit the nearby seas, he would have to think it through and see.

To truly leave the Daqian palace, as he had told Ma Shiqing before, would take some more time.

Moreover, before leaving, he would definitely use his puppet body to check the way.

Outside, Daqian Black Market.

The puppet left the Mystical Cave site of the Luoyue Alliance. After secretly leaving the central area of Daqian Mountain using an escape skill, he arrived at the Daqian Black Market on a premium artifact shuttle.

But the moment he entered the outer market of Daqian Black Market, he could sense a drastic change in the atmosphere.

The cultivators on the streets of the market had thinned out, and the number of loose cultivators running stalls had significantly reduced.

Noticing this, the puppet quickly walked to a stall run by a loose cultivator.

This stall was run by a white-haired old loose cultivator selling monster materials, such as feathers, blood, claws among things of first and second-rank monsters. His cultivation was not high, only in the eight layer of Qi refinement.

Seeing the white-haired puppet approach, the old cultivator chuckled, “Taoist friend, need something? Feel free to look around.”

The puppet shook his head and said, “I just came out after secluded meditation and noticed some changes in the market. Do you know what has happened?”

The old cultivator’s brows were just about to furrow, when a mid-tier Spirit Stone fell before him. Spotting the Spirit Stone, he instantly brightened, his furrowed brows smoothing out and his face breaking into a wide grin.

He naturally picked up the Spirit Stone which then vanished from sight.

The old man laughed, “Yes, I do. Around six months ago, the market was still fine. But a rumor started spreading that a powerful demon from Jiuhun Mountain was planning to attack the Daqian Black Market. Due to this, the market has been less lively these six months.”

“Oh, also, one of the branches under the Taixu Realm started a war with a hidden cultivating Chen family in the north.”

“And one of the strongholds in Phoenix Mansion, a force known as Phoenix Valley, suddenly attacked Baiyue.”

“From the current situation, it seems like the Taixu Immortal Realm and Phoenix Mansion might be preparing for war.”

“So, many people have now returned to their respective families of sects.”

“Daqian Palace has also issued a recruitment order, calling on loose cultivators and cultivators from other sects providing very generous terms. It’s currently preparing for battle in response to the present situation.”

“For some time now, there have been fewer people in the market.”

The puppet’s pupils contracted.

The Taixu Realm and Phoenix Realm had taken action?

After thanking him, he quickly left.

Before long.

In the hidden market, inside a small reception room in Sky Valley Hall.

Taoist Xiuyu and Su Yu sat across from each other. As Taoist Xiuyu brewed Spiritual Tea, he looked at Su Yu and sighed, “I didn’t expect, that at this time you will remember this old friend of yours.”

Upon hearing his teasing, Su Yu glanced at him and said, “Almost a year ago, when I had appeared at the Ma Family’s Mitian Range, I don’t believe your Xu Tian hall was unaware.”

Taoist Xiuyu poured him a cup of Spiritual Tea and said, “Of course, we knew, but after we knew, you disappeared.”
