Chapter 74: 074 Back Road_l

In order to advance the Dragon Crocodile puppet beast to the second-grade intermediate level, Su Yu had invested nearly five thousand low-grade spirit stones in the last two years. Including the original cost of forging the dragon crocodile puppet beast, the pure cost of this puppet had reached 12,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Su Yu stopped his cultivation and looked at the Daoist puppet after its advancement to the second-grade intermediate level.

Its appearance had undergone a significant change; the most obvious one was its height. The secret room, built underground, was about 15 meters high. At this moment, the Daoist puppet fully revealed its puppet beast body, and its height almost reached the ceiling of the secret room.

Its former tyrannosaurus-like form had changed slightly. More spines had grown on the scale armor on its back and tail, densely packed, showing a dreadful sheen under the secret room’s oil lamp light. freeweb(n)ovel.com

Each of these spines was almost a foot long.

“These spines…” Su Yu’s eyes flickered. With a thought, he summoned a low-grade magic artifact flying sword from his Qiankun bag. With a light move of his finger, the flying sword whooshed and cleaved down on one of the spines on the puppet beast’s back.

“Clang!”

Sparks flew. A harsh sound of metal clashing echoed in the room.

The flying sword was slapped aside and fell in front of Su Yu, a large chunk chipped from its blade.

The spine on the puppet beast’s back remained unscathed.

Su Yu threw the low-grade magic artifact flying sword aside, took another middle-grade magic artifact from his Qiankun bag, and once again struck towards the spine.

“Clang!”

This time, the middle-grade magic artifact was once again repelled.

And still, the spine on the puppet beast’s back was without any marks.

Su Yu couldn’t help exclaiming, “Such defenses… Only a high-grade magic artifact could possibly injure it.”

After sensing the aura of the Daoist puppet again, it seemed that with this level of defense and the strength of a second-grade intermediate level, the Daoist puppet might be able to retreat safely even when dealing with a cultivator in the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A foundation establishment cultivator at the fourth layer might only be able to run away in fear.

Otherwise, they would die!

“It can continue to absorb materials to enhance itself. When it reaches the top of the second-grade intermediate level, it can absorb materials used to forge a second-grade high-level puppet beast and advance again.” Su Yu took a few steps forward and stroked the horrific-looking Daoist puppet with a smile on his face.

Soon after, he used the Puppetry Technique again, and the puppet gradually shrank, turning into a copy of Su Yu.

“A second-grade intermediate level puppet beast might just be able to support the power burst of the puppet soul.” Su Yu slowly exhaled, feeling much more at ease.

The recent battle between the righteous and demonic forces in the Eight Demon Ridge put a lot of pressure on him.

Especially when Chen Sisi went to the Eight Demon Ridge looking for opportunities, but unfortunately was seriously injured and died.

This was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!

She died just like that in the Eight Demon Ridge. How could he, a mere Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, breathe easily?

Fortunately.

Now that the Dragon Crocodile puppet beast had advanced to the second-grade intermediate level, his ability to preserve his life had increased a little bit more.

“Next, I will wait for the Green Wood Year Ring Skill to advance to Two Rings One Turn, and my cultivation will break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.” Su Yu thought, looking expectantly at the proficiency panel.

[Cultivation Technique: Green Wood Year Ring Skill (One Ring Nine Turns, proficiency 88.92%). ]

His proficiency was almost there!

Just over eleven percent more!

After storing the Daoist puppet back inside his Dantian for cultivation, Su Yu left the secret room and prepared to leave the alley courtyard to head for the Pill Pavilion.

Over this period of time, the task rewards from the True Hall in the Bai Yue Immortal City have been intermittently accumulating. He had already amassed a thousand contribution points.

Also, he had completed tasks for the Yu Family and acquired approximately thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

After deducting the costs, excluding the contribution value from the True Hall, his net income was almost twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, along with a large quantity of second-grade low-ranking pill materials offered by the True Hall, still over seven hundred left.

After deducting the spirit stones required for daily cultivation, the needs of Yu Qianqing and the other three, and the materials for the puppet beast’s advancement, and so on.

Currently, Su Yu still has over eleven thousand left on hand.

“I need to find some time to see if there are any superior magic artifacts suitable for myself. Or maybe wait another year or two, the Spirit Hall’s auction takes place every five years, and the next auction won’t be far off. There should be quite a few superior magic artifacts available.” Su Yu pondered as he walked out of his room.

His cultivation level was on the verge of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, where he would then have the ability to use superior magic artifacts.

The most crucial point is that his Puppetry Technique has developed to the second tier of medium-level, and if he is able to possess one or two superior magic artifacts, his strength would significantly increase.

After all, it’s not just any ordinary puppet beast possessing these artifacts, but a body created from the Puppetry Technique which allows the utilization of magic artifacts.

A superior magic artifact typically costs between one thousand to three thousand inferior spirit stones, and he planned to see if he could find two suitable superior magic artifacts.

As Su Yu was getting ready to leave the courtyard, a team of five Bai Yue Immortal City Guards quickly walked in from the alleyway, each one having at least a cultivation level of the Qi Refinement Realm. The leader was at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and dressed in the uniform of the guards, evoking an aggressive murderous intent.

“Stand aside!” One of them barked at the artifact refiner who was standing in the alley.

As the artifact refiner moved aside with a frown, the guards trouped into the courtyard of a family of four. With a stomp, they kicked open the courtyard door, stormed into the residences, searched, and dragged out Wang Hong who was still sleeping in.

Then, one of the guards sealed the courtyard door.

The wife and two daughters stared in horror, pale-faced and helpless at the intrusion of the guards.

The monk at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm glanced coldly at the woman and her daughters before setting his eyes on Wang Hong. “Wang Hong, you’ve made a big mistake. The Third Young Master has decreed that those who disrupt our Immortal City will be killed without mercy. All assets of the Immortal City shall be reclaimed to serve as a warning to others!”

“However, the three of you are quite lucky. The Third Young Master is merciful and decided not to involve you.”

“So, leave now. This house is to be reclaimed by the Immortal City!”

With that said,

The monk at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm looked at the woman and her two daughters, a glimmer of lust in his eyes. He sneered, “Remember to go to the Spirit Hall and pay the spirit stones for your stay in the city by tonight. Otherwise, people will die.”

“Of course—I’

The rest of his words seemed to be spoken privately to the woman. His lips moved, but no sound could be heard.

Only the woman looked at the Monk, her eyes wide with fear and shock. fre(e)novelkiss.com

“Ha ha ha, think it over.”

Following that, he chased the woman and her two daughters out of the courtyard, took everything valuable inside, and left with the guards holding

Wang Hong captive.

About to leave, Su Yu paused, a frown playing on his face.

“What happened to Old Wang’s family?” Su Yu was stunned.

Before long,

Su Yu learned what had happened. Apparently, the rent for the spirit fields remained high, and Wang Hong was struggling to keep up, so he had a discussion with some other spirit field cultivators about protesting to the Spirit Hall to at least lower the rent.

Who would have thought that this wasn’t even executed and it became Wang

Hong’s death warrant.

He was captured right at his home by the guards from the Battle Hall.

And the one who issued the command was the third disciple of True Man Bai Yue who is currently showing his face around Bai Yue Immortal City, the Hall Master of the True Hall, Xu Wansheng.

The Spirit Hall Master Elder Tianpu and Battle Hall Master Fairy Fengling were currently not in Bai Yue Immortal City.

This was absurd.

“Bai Yue Immortal City…even though it’s a market city for loose cultivators, it ultimately belongs to True Man Bai Yue.”

“Living here means living under someone else’s roof, with no control over your fate.’

Unrest welled up in Su Yu’s heart, for some inexplicable reason.

The third disciple of True Man Bai Yue appears far more predatory and brutal than he had imagined. Wang Hong’s life was taken over such a trivial matter.

After a few days, a new thought sprouted in Su Yu’s heart: “I should prepare a backup plan..”
