Both of the beasts under her control broke through to the second level. Yu Ke’er’s eyes gleamed as she stared at Su Yu, and she spoke with the hopefulness of one on the brink of such a breakthrough: “I still have a Tiana Blue Snake in my control, which has reached the peak of its first level and is on the verge of a second-level breakthrough.”
“When it’s time for its breakthrough, would you watch over it with me?”
She continued, “Now that both the Earth Fire Ape and Black Scale Falcon have reached the second level, you’ll need second-level low-grade Hundred Beast Pills.
“When the time comes, you can get them from me at a discounted price.”
“A permanent discount of 20%, no, 30%.”
Ke’er’s envy was clear to see. Just seeing the terrifying healing power Su Yu had inadvertently demonstrated made her hope he would stay.
With Su Yu there, the success rate of beasts leveling up might increase by ten to twenty percent!
She couldn’t let him slip away.
When Su Yu heard about the second-level low-grade Hundred Beast Pills, he looked at Ke’er in front of him, and thought about the immensely wealthy Yu Family. A friendly smile naturally appeared on his face.
Looking at the wealthy young lady in front of him, he said, “Of course, I can watch over your beast. No need for a discount, I’m a second-level low-grade Alchemist, I can refine the pills myself.”
“In the future, if you need any elixirs, just come to me.”
Ke’er was stunned: 1????”
She gawked at Su Yu, who was only at stage eight of Qi Refinement, and exclaimed incredulously, “Are you already a second-level low-grade Alchemist!?”
Su Yu nodded, “Right now, no one else knows about this. You’re the only one.”
At his words, Ke’er was taken aback, and her pretty face turned pink as her heart rate accelerated.
What did he mean?
Why wouldn’t he tell anybody else?
Why was she the only one he told?
“I-I’ll leave first, I’ll let you know when I’m ready.” Yu Ke’er turned and fled, leaving in a hurry.
Watching her retreating figure, Su Yu was puzzled. They hadn’t finished their conversation yet, why had she run off so suddenly?
It had taken Su Yu a lot of deliberation to decide to reveal to Ke’er that he was a second -level low- grade Alchemist.
Both the Earth Fire Ape and Black Scale Falcon have successfully broken through to become second-level low-grade beasts.
And his Body Refinement technique was also about to break through to the tenth level, which could be achieved at most within two months time.
These were the reasons why he felt confident enough to tell Ke’er about his Alchemist status.
Moreover, he needed to find a stable and reliable source of income in Bai Yue fairy city.
The Yu family was powerful and well-established, and a relationship with Ke’er, the young mistress of Yu family, was a good opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
He thought he could earn some money from the Yu family to solve his immediate problem of feeding himself.
Shaking his head, Su Yu packed up his things, stored the Earth Fire Ape and Black Scale Falcon into a Beast Taming bag, and prepared to leave: “I need to gather the ingredients for the second-level low-grade Hundred Beast Pills.”
Outside.
Yu Ke’er was on her way back with the old woman Huang Haimeng.
Huang Haimeng whispered: “Young Miss, although Su Yu comes from a small family and his Spiritual Root talent is average, his potential is extraordinary.
And now he has two second-level low-grade beasts.”
“If you have his help, you might have a high chance of getting your father’s approval and becoming the sole heir of the third house.”
Yu Ke’er said: “He’s not someone who likes to get involved in trouble. Remember how many years he’s been in Yunshan Market?”
“Apart from necessary affairs, he hasn’t left Yunshan Market more than five times!”
Thinking about this, Yu Ke’er was a bit frustrated in selecting words, but after a pause, she said: “He, he is overly cautious.”
“Even when their family occupied the Purple Gold Sand Spirit Mine, and the Bai and Huang families coveted it, he didn’t interfere.”
“And now, he has left his family and moved alone to Bai Yue Fairy City.”
“He has been here for over a year. Not to mention failing to venture out of the city, he has not even explored the Inner region of the city.” “You still want him involved in the family troubles?”
At these words, Huang Haimeng fell into deep silence:
Indeed, she seemed to have overlooked Su Yu’s personality, who apart from necessary matters, basically kept himself closed off from the outside world.
As if venturing out would bring about trouble, akin to death itself.
This was not a usual fear of death—cough, it should be said, as the missy put it, an unusual sense of caution.
It was definitely hard to involve such a person in the Yu Family’s troubles.
It was even an impossible feat.
After a moment of silence, Huang Haimeng said, “What if the Family Head still wishes for the young miss to be engaged?”
“Only if I die,”
Yu Ke’er coldly stated, though in her mind floated the handsome face of Su Yu that hadn’t changed for over ten or twenty years.
She fled to Baiyue Immortal City specifically to avoid getting involved in her family’s internal troubles.
Thinking about it, Yu Ke’er suddenly envied Su Yu’s lifestyle and state of mind.
A simple and ordinary life was the most authentic.
Such a life was actually quite nice.
In the following days, through Huang Haimeng, Yu Ke’er handed over some of the Yu Family stronghold’s demand for pills to Su Yu, including the Yu Family’s unique Demon Core Pill recipe.
These requirements would probably bring Su Yu an income of two or three thousand low-grade spirit stones annually.
As for the top-grade first-class Dragon Hawk Puppet Beast, it was returned to the Yu Family by Yu Ke’er.
After all, this thing had cost the family six thousand low-grade spirit stones; it was only natural to send it back to the family.
After Su Yu made his way to the market a few streets away and purchased the Rank 2 low-grade Hundred Beast Pill materials, he strode into the deepest part of the market, where a three-story building identical to the Yunshan Market’s Scripture Pavilion came into view.
Knowing his way around, Su Yu walked in and began thumbing through the various books and ancient texts on the miscellaneous bookshelves.
More than two hours later, Su Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw a method recorded in an ancient book in his hands: the Puppetry Technique.
Cutting off a strand of the soul and attaching it to the puppet, one could manipulate the puppet and make it move around. Although its strength was limited to the puppet, and matched the puppet’s rank, everything else was basically no different from the original body.
It was a small method used for exploring, visiting relatives, etc. in the Ancient Era.
However, for ordinary cultivators, not everyone can successfully cultivate this spell.
Whether cutting the soul, integrating it into the puppet to refine into the spiritual body puppet, or the final recovery of soul wounds, each step is difficult.
Perhaps after reaching the Soul Splitting stage, cultivating such a method would be easier.
“Good stuff.’
Su Yu’s eyes shone. Such a method might be difficult for others to cultivate, but not for him.
Once this puppet technique is successful, it would be like a divine skill for him.
His body can stay put while his spiritual body puppet goes out to handle any matters.
Moreover, he also has a Golden Cicada method, which specifically cultivates the soul.
The Golden Cicada method could little by little heal the injuries caused by cutting the soul. Even if the spiritual body puppet gets destroyed, he wouldn’t fear the extinguishing of that strand of the soul.
What a divine skill!
Su Yu took that ancient book to the counter to pay, the shopkeeper here was not the old man from Yunshan Market.
And the price of the ancient books here was the same as Yunshan Market, fifty low-grade spirit stones each.
After paying the money and getting the complete ancient book, Su Yu left the market and returned to his courtyard.
While making a breakthrough in the Body Refinement Realm, he also began studying the Puppetry Technique..
