The mid-phase, second-order earth attribute monster core was won by Su Yu at the cost of one thousand and three hundred Lower Rank Spirit Stones. Shortly after, a set of scale armor and sharp claws appeared, and Su Yu won them all.
The total cost was less than two thousand Lower Rank Spirit Stones.
“Materials for a second-rank Lower Grade Dragon Crocodile puppet beast have been gathered.” Su Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
His status as an alchemist and a talisman maker had already been elevated to the rank of a 2nd -Level Lower Grade, but he had yet to gather complete materials for a second-order puppet beast.
This indicates the scarcity of these materials.
Thankfully, he managed to gather all the necessary materials at the once-in-five-years auction held at Bai Yue Immortal City’s Spirit Palace.
In a private room on the third floor, upon hearing Su Yu’s bids, Yu Ke’er’s gaze turned toward the room on the second floor.
A stern-looking middle-aged man who was nearby casually watched the auction below and asked, “Do you know him?”
Yu Ke’er nodded gently: “Yes.”
The middle-aged man said: “How are you considering what your uncle said? That person also originates from a large family, and moreover, he is a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Great Moon Palace.
“You won’t suffer if you marry him.”
Yu Ke’er’s expression turned cold, she said, “I’ve said it before, I would rather die than marry.”
The face of the middle-aged man remained unchanged as he sighed, “Ke’er, it’s not that your father doesn’t understand you, but at your age, it’s about time.” “Also, sometimes things don’t go the way we want them to. But what can we
“You are a daughter of the Yu Family, you’ve been raised by the clan until now, you have no other choice.”
Yu Ke’er remained silent, though her expression changed.
After a few moments of silence.
The middle-aged man said: “The elder of the Yunjian Sect can only hold on for twenty or thirty more years. When the time comes, there will be chaos in the
Yunjian Sect.”
“This will be a huge piece of fat meat tempting to all. There will definitely be many who covet it, such as Bai Yue Immortal City, Kaiyang Palace, Sword City’s
Qin Family, and even the Great Moon Palace…”
“Our Yu Family isn’t as secure as you imagine. In the face of such changes, our Yu family must be prepared to deal with all eventualities.”
Yu Ke’er’s expression changed slightly again. In those few words, it was apparent that there were undercurrents stirring secretly within the territory of Yunjian Sect.
Even a cultivator family like the Yu Family could not guarantee to be safe amid such chaos.
A single careless move could lead to a plunge into an abyss.
Yu Ke’er remained silent, and the middle-aged man too stopped speaking.
At this moment, the auctioneer below had someone bring a jade box. When he opened the jade box, there was a Spirit Fruit inside.
“Void Spirit Fruit, one of the core materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. Starting bid is 1000 Lower Rank Spirit Stones, each subsequent bid needs to add at least 100 Lower Rank Spirit Stones.” The auctioneer enthusiastically announced, “Bidding starts now.”
“One thousand five hundred!” “One thousand six hundred!”
“Two thousand!”
Many people from the first floor were calling out their bids.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Void Spirit Fruit had already exceeded two thousand Lower Rank Spirit Stones.
Upon reaching this price level, the majority of the initial bidders had already dropped out of the competition.
Only a few on the second and third floors were still vying for it.
The price once again surged, and quickly rose to three thousand Lower Rank Spirit Stones.
“Three thousand six hundred.” Su Yu placed his first bid.
A young man in a booth on the third floor slightly furrowed his brows and followed up with a bid of three thousand seven hundred Lower Rank Spirit Stones.
Su Yu raised the price again to three thousand eight hundred. It was only then that the man gave up.
“Congratulations, friend. The Void Spirit Fruit is yours for three thousand and eight hundred Lower Rank Spirit Stones.” The auctioneer loudly announced.
Then, the auction of the second Void Spirit Fruit began.
At this point, Su Yu didn’t place another bid.
There were only two Void Spirit Fruit. If he were to bid on and win both of them, it would be too ostentatious and would draw too much attention.
A moment later.
The auctioneer had someone bring out a second-rank Lower Grade water attribute pure monster core. It came from a Black Shell Turtle monster.
Su Yu and Su Zhi were both pleasantly surprised.
Ultimately, they won the item with a bid of 2,300 low-grade spirit stones.
The grand finale of the auction was a Half-masterpiece (a semi-finished product) Shadow God Spear magic artifact, which was bought by a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator from the third floor for a whopping 6,900 low-grade spirit stones.
The price of a regular high-level magic artifact usually ranges between 1,000 and 3,000 low-grade spirit stones.
These are suitable for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Masterpiece magic artifacts, on the other hand, are suitable for True Men in the Core Formation Realm.
If a good third-order Artifact Refiner can be found, then a half-masterpiece magical artifact could potentially be upgraded to a genuine masterpiece.
Su Yu and Su Zhi couldn’t afford such items for the time being.
Aside from acquiring the materials for refining Dragon Alligator puppets and the Foundation Establishment Pills, Su Yu also spent 900 low-grade Spirit Stones on an Earth Element Cultivation Technique, which could be cultivated up to the fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
For Su Yu, this Cultivation Technique was enough for the time being.
He planned to cultivate his Earth Spirit Root in his free time.
The Body Refinement technique could enhance his defensive ability, and the Earth Element mana could also enhance his defensive ability.
With the potent healing effect of his Wood Element Green Wood Year Ring Skill, his survival ability was very considerable.
After paying the Spirit Stones and claiming their auction winnings, Su Yu and Su Zhi quickly left the Spirit Temple and returned to their alleyway courtyard.
“Next, I plan to retreat and prepare for the refining of the Foundation
Establishment Pill,” said Su Yu, inhaling deeply and feeling a hint of pressure.
A single set of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients cost almost 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
Which ordinary cultivator or cultivator family could afford such an expense?
Without resources and lacking materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, this path to the Foundation Establishment Realm would forever be blocked for them.
This batch of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients could only succeed, not fail.
Su Zhi said, “Go ahead, I’ll act as your protector.”
Then she added with a smile, “Don’t feel too pressured. Even if you fail, it can serve as a training exercise for me and my brother. It won’t be a total loss.” In the secret chamber:
Su Yu spent several days adjusting his condition, refining batches of second-order low-rank pills each day.
It was not until seven days later, that a furnace full of perfect-grade second-order low-rank Kaiyuan Pills was successfully refined.
Seeing the five perfect-grade second-order low-rank Kaiyuan Pills that came out of the furnace, Su Yu was thrilled, and his confidence surged.
The perfect condition he had been waiting for finally arrived at this moment. The opportunity had come.
“Begin refining the Foundation Establishment pill.”
Su Yu calmed his mind and looked relaxed as he started the refining process with ordinary materials, slowly progressing as time passed.
A day later, Su Yu began to melt the core materials.
After melting the Ice Heart Lotus, Empty Spirit Fruit, and Pure Demon Core, Su Yu started to finish solidifying the pill.
About two hours later:
Su Yu cast a pill retrieval spell, and four pills flew out of the alchemy furnace, two of which were as pure as jade, and two had a more ordinary appearance.
Seeing these four finished Foundation Establishment Pills, Su Yu’s face lit up,
“Two of them are premium quality and two are ordinary!”
This result was beyond his expectations and quite satisfying.
Premium quality Foundation Establishment Pills could considerably improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment by at least 20-30%, and were worth at least 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stones each.
Ordinary quality could increase the success rate by about 20%, and were worth about 8,000 low grade Spirit Stones.
This batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was worth a total of 36,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
He then packed the four Foundation Establishment Pills separately into jade boxes and placed them into a jade case to preserve them.
Su Yu exited the secret chamber. Outside, Su Zhi had been protecting him and was instantly energized. Just as she was about to ask about the results, Su Yu handed her the jade case.
With a calm smile, Su Yu said, “Mission accomplished. Four pills were made in one batch. Two are of premium quality, and two of ordinary quality.”
“Wha…what?”
Su Zhi was taken aback.. Her outstretched hand trembled, and she exclaimed in shock, “Premium quality!? Two of them!? “
