Chapter 68: 068 Bad News_1

Translator: 549690339

Many years ago, when Chen Sisi and Su Qingyi became Dao companions, he returned to his family with First Elder Su Yun and Su Zhi to attend the wedding banquet.

On their journey, they happened to encounter a robber, a ghost-faced golden eagle, and obtained some opportunities from its clutches.

The second-tier top-grade inheritance of the Puppet Master that Su Yu is currently practicing, “Golden Jade Heavenly Puppet Forge Method, ” is one of these opportunities.

This Puppet Master inheritance came from the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.

Besides that.

From the ghost-faced golden eagle, he also received a defective second-tier lower grade demonic array flag, a token for an internal disciple of the demonic power Jiuhun Demon Palace, a map of the Eight Demon Ridge, and so on.

All these things pointed directly to the Eight Demon Ridge.

However, later on, Su Yu traded these things with Luo Qianyu, the First Elder’s personally taught disciple of the Yunjian Sect, for a top-grade high-tier alchemical magic artifact, deliberately choosing not to delve into the matters behind them, thereby removing himself from the situation.

Now, upon hearing the news of a ruin of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate being found at the Eight Demon Ridge, Su Yu suddenly realized what was happening, and everything seemed to fall into place.

A disciple of the demonic power Jiuhun Demon Palace must’ve learned about the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate and went to the Eight Demon Ridge to find it, but somehow ended up losing his identity token and some treasures, which fell into the hands of the ghost-faced golden eagle, becoming a windfall.

The ghost-faced golden eagle was subsequently killed by them.

Then the gathering of these demons and robbers at the Eight Demon Ridge was probably because news of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins had spread.

But exactly why these demons and robbers were searching for such ruins was still unclear.

After all, with the appearance of the ruins, forces of righteousness, like the Yunjian Sect, Bai Yue Fairy City, or even the Kaiyang Palace, the Jian City Qin Family, or even the Da Yue Palace, may potentially go after them for the opportunities they present.

With their gathering there, were they actually intending to confront these righteous forces head-on?

A group of demonic cultivators and robbers, did they have the guts for such an endeavor?

This was the Da Yue Prefecture, the territory of the Da Yue Palace; demons here were nothing more than rats crossing the road, existing in the shadows, feared and despised.

If they really dare to confront directly, then it’s not stubbornness but recklessness. an invitation to their death.

After discussing with Yu Ke’er what he knew about the situation, Yu Ke’er pondered and said: “It is probable that there might be something they want from the Golden Jade Fairy Gate, otherwise, it wouldn’t attract an internal disciple of a powerful demonic force from outside Da Yue Prefecture to come and search. This place should not be as simple as it seems.”

After their discussion, Yu Ke’er seemed more at ease, her face no longer as solemn and she started to talk more.

“The items on the list are not urgent, we can get them month by month. It’s not as if we can just walk into these Immortal Gate ruins. It might take five to eight years, by which time the commotion of the Eight Demon Ridge might not stop.”

“I have won the opportunity to stay within our family, within twenty years, becoming a second-tier top-grade beast tamer, do you think I can do it?” “Su Yu, if, if you….”

“Pavilion Master, young lady, the folks from the main hall have sent us a task list.” Kang Yunnian inconveniently appeared, politely handing over a list.

Yu Ke’er’s face blushed slightly, her just marshalled courage dissipated, and immediately glared at him with a cold stare, casting him a deadly gaze.

Kang Yunnian felt his fur stand on end, like a rattled donkey being glanced at by a mother tiger, his face paling and his scalp tingling, his puzzled face only showing one symbol: “?” What, what happened!? I haven’t done anything! !!

“Cough.”

Su Yu took over the list and looked upon it, pretending not to notice the tension. Upon seeing the list, his eyebrows raised, these were all second-tier lower-grade elixirs, although not very expensive, they were abundant enough to make a fortune.

The Zhen Palace provided ninety sets of pill materials, only requiring ninety pills of common quality to be produced.

This is one task, worth ninety contribution points.

According to his understanding, one point of contribution value in Zhen Palace can be exchanged for ten lower-grade spirit stones.

The conditions are already very good, primarily because the difficulty of refining these second-grade lower-quality pills is very simple.

The list provided to him by Zhen Palace, counted as three tasks in total, requires two hundred and seventy pills of three types of ordinary second-grade lower-quality pills, including Hunyuan Pills for mana recovery, Yulin Pills for healing injuries, and Kaiyuan Pills for cultivation purposes.

If a second-grade lower-quality alchemist could complete the tasks listed above, they could earn contribution values equivalent to two thousand seven hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

It might take about three months to finish.

This is the income of a common second-grade lower-quality alchemist.

If it were Su Yu who was refining, with two hundred and seventy pills and the same amount of materials, he might only need sixty to seventy sets of materials to refine all those pills, the remaining materials are pure profit.

‘Why do I feel that although I don’t know whether the appearance of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins provides opportunities for others, but for me, it should be an opportunity?’ Su Yu thought to himself, he must make a fortune this time, and he was preparing to accept this task list from the Zhen Palace.

Zhen Palace stipulated a period of three months, with the same submission once a month, one third at a time.

After a short while, Yu Ke’er left behind nine thousand lower-grade spirit stones as down payment and took her leave.

Su Yu had the people of Zhen Palace deliver the alchemy materials, while simultaneously asking Xu Desheng and Kang Yunnian to prepare the materials needed for the Yu Family’s pills. The Dan Pavilion would need to self-provide the materials for the Yu family’s pills.

The amount of pills required by the Yu family is even larger than the tasks provided by the Zhen Palace.

However, the Yu family doesn’t require it to be handed over in a short time, instead, the tasks are spread over a year.

The total price is estimated to be around twenty-one thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Nearly half of them are second-grade lower-quality pills, and half are first-grade top-quality pills.

Su Yu had also looked at the list for talismans, although he was tempted, he didn’t ask for any.

He is a second-grade, lower-quality talisman maker, Yu Ke’er didn’t know, and he had no intention of revealing it.

With the task from Zhen Palace and the list from the Yu family, Su Yu feels that this time he could earn at least fifteen thousand lower-grade spirit stones, over sixty percent profit.

In the following time, Su Yu didn’t pay attention to the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins, nor did he consider competing for opportunities. He stayed in Bai Yue Fairy City and focused on alchemy.

Occasionally, Yu Ke’er came to stay at the Dan Pavilion, even though Su Yu was refining pills in the alchemy room, she remained in the Dan Pavilion, keeping an eye on everything inside and outside.

Aside from alchemy, Su Yu hadn’t stopped his daily cultivation practices.

Every day, the most important thing was to first practice Green Wood Year Ring Skill, Erection Demon 108 Body Refinement Realm, Xuan Ming Thick Soil Mantra, Golden Cicada Law, gradually increasing his proficiency. This was the foundation of his immortal path.

Alchemy to earn resources was secondary and considered embellishment to his path of cultivation.

Originally, Su Yu thought that his peaceful days would continue undisturbed, and before long, his cultivation level could be raised to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, slightly more than four months later, Inner Sect Disciple of Yunjian Sect, Yu Qianqing came to Dan Pavilion and found Su Yu, bringing a Qiankun bag and a piece of bad news.

“Senior Sister Chen was seriously injured in Bajiao Ridge. Although Senior Sister Luo eventually rescued her back to the sect, Senior Sister Chen didn’t survive a month later. Before she passed away, she asked me to give this Qiankun bag to Taoist Friend Su.”

“Furthermore, she has requested Taoist Friend Su to look after the Chen Family out of consideration for her.”
