Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Thunder Transformation Talisman, Yuqing
Weiyuan Immortal City.
After signing the Spirit Contract, Su Ye returned to his cave residence to await good news.
For him, the main purpose of this trip had already been achieved.
’Next, I just have to wait for the Grand Auction to begin and purchase the main ingredient for the Cold Jade Elixir, the Nine-leaf Ice Orchid.’
’And I need to find a chance to see the "Earth Key"...’
’I can also use this opportunity to discuss the mysteries of array techniques with Xiying and cultivate the Six Desires Secret Scripture...’
Su Ye mused.
However, the way things developed was rather unexpected.
「A few days later.」
’Interesting... So many calling cards?’
Su Ye’s expression was intrigued as he took more than ten calling cards from a Luo Family cultivator.
These cards were almost all from Foundation Establishnt powers or Loose Cultivators!
Among them were even cards from the five great families of the Immortal City!
’It makes sense. To them, I’m a genius cultivator who achieved Foundation Establishnt on my own before the age of thirty!’
’Furthermore, right after reaching Foundation Establishnt, I killed two peers, one of whom was even at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt...’
Putting himself in their shoes, Su Ye could easily understand the thinking of these Foundation Establishnt powers.
The Cultivation Realm wasn’t just about fighting and killing; it was also about navigating social relationships!
A promising combat genius like Su Ye was worth a visit from the city’s other Foundation Establishnt cultivators, who hoped to build a connection.
After all, with Su Ye’s current lifespan, he still had more than two hundred years left to live!
He even had a decent chance of reaching the Core Formation realm.
...
「Over the next few months.」
Nurous Foundation Establishnt cultivators visited one after another, each bearing gifts.
Since it was their first ti visiting and they were intent on building a connection, the gifts they brought were mostly quite valuable.
Even though Su Ye gave gifts in return to his visitors, after tallying everything up, he still turned a small profit!
Beyond that, familiarizing himself with the Immortal City’s circle of Foundation Establishnt cultivators and expanding his network was an even more valuable, intangible asset!
For the Luo Family, the Foundation Establishnt connections Su Ye was building were especially important!
Although the Luo Family had been rooted in Weiyuan Immortal City for a long ti and had cultivated many connections, Luo Xiyin’s solitary nature ant she was often in seclusion and not skilled at socializing.
Moreover, the Foundation Establishnt powers in the city, conscious of their status, would certainly not take the initiative to befriend the Luo Family’s Qi Refining cultivators!
Therefore, despite the Luo Family’s long history and deep roots, they lacked high-level channels.
In other words, they lacked ’weight’ in the eyes of the top figures!
In a world like the Cultivation Realm, where personal might decides everything, not having access to the upper echelons ant the Luo Family’s power was naturally confined, held back by an invisible ceiling.
But now, thanks to Su Ye’s presence, that ceiling had suddenly vanished!
It was obvious that the Luo Family’s influence in Weiyuan Immortal City was about to rise to a new level!
And this also brought Su Ye so imdiate benefits.
"Nine-leaf Ice Orchid...?"
Su Ye’s interest was piqued as he admired the Spirit dicine sealed inside the jade box.
The azure color of the ice orchid caused the Magical Power of his Taiqing Cold Jade Skill to fluctuate, as if it were jumping for joy.
"Supre Elder, this Nine-leaf Ice Orchid is from the Chen Family of Ice Lake Island."
"Their spirit island has a rare Ice Spiritual Vein, which produces many ice-attribute Spirit dicines similar to the Nine-leaf Ice Orchid."
"Thanks to your prestigious na, Supre Elder, we were able to purchase a Nine-leaf Ice Orchid at market price."
"However, they were unwilling to sell their remaining Nine-leaf Ice Orchids ahead of ti."
"They’re planning to wait for the Grand Auction to sell them publicly..."
"No matter. I understand," Su Ye nodded.
In any case, he had already planned to participate in the Grand Auction before leaving Weiyuan Immortal City.
The Chen Family’s unwillingness to sell all their Nine-leaf Ice Orchids early was perfectly normal and didn’t affect his plans.
Su Ye wasn’t so narrow-minded as to seek revenge over sothing like this.
On the contrary, their willingness to sell one Nine-leaf Ice Orchid in advance ensured that his supply of Cold Jade Elixirs would not be interrupted.
It was a gesture of goodwill.
’Even if it cos down to a bidding war at the Grand Auction, a contest of wealth, I’m not afraid...’
With the Qi Family’s generous contribution, Su Ye had tens of thousands of Spirit Stones to use in the bidding!
"We can deepen our ties with the Chen Family of Ice Lake Island and maintain a good relationship," Su Ye instructed.
Their unique advantage of an Ice Spiritual Vein ant they could produce all the ingredients for the Cold Jade Elixir.
Maintaining a good relationship would give Su Ye a stable supply channel for the raw materials of the Cold Jade Elixir!
"Oh, right. Take this Nine-leaf Ice Orchid and have soone refine it into a Cold Jade Elixir."
Su Ye took out the other ingredients and gave the order.
He was almost out of Cold Jade Elixirs.
"Yes, Supre Elder!"
...
「Several months later.」
The number of visiting cultivators gradually dwindled.
Su Ye was happy for the peace and quiet. He took the newly refined Cold Jade Elixirs, cultivated the Six Desires Secret Scripture, and waited for the Grand Auction and the completion of his Spiritual Artifact.
The Spiritual Qi environnt in Weiyuan Immortal City was no worse than that of Luoyue Mountain.
’If it weren’t for the fact that this place is right under the nose of a Core Formation Master, with so many eyes and ears around, making it difficult for my crew to "farm experience" with their daily duties,’
’Weiyuan Immortal City would actually be a pretty good base of operations...’
Su Ye felt a slight sense of regret.
Farming experience with port duties was too conspicuous.
He could only be a bit more restrained.
The rate at which he gained experience points had decreased.
...
「Then, one day.」
Su Ye and Luo Xiyin were sitting leisurely in the afternoon, sipping tea and discussing the Dao.
Luo Xiyin’s makeup was exquisite. Her silvery hair was tied up behind her head, with a few strands falling loose.
She wore a simple-colored qipao that traced her graceful curves, with slits on both sides of the skirt revealing her fair, slender calves.
Amidst her cold aloofness was a hint of sexy charm, like a snow lotus that had been thoroughly nourished and soaked!
This outfit was a gift Su Ye had custom-made for Luo Xiyin, based on mories from his past life.
At that mont, a Sound Transmission Talisman from a Luo Family cultivator flew into the cave residence.
"Matriarch, Supre Elder, there is a Foundation Establishnt cultivator outside requesting an audience."
"She is the ninth disciple of Canghai, Fairy Yuqing, Bai Xiuying."
"Oh? A disciple of Canghai?"
Surprised, Su Ye’s expression shifted. He led Luo Xiyin out of the cave residence to greet their guest.
They saw a female Sword Immortal with eyebrows like cold blades, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, looking valiant and heroic.
She stood upon a flying sword, poised in the wind!
Within Weiyuan Immortal City, under the Air Ban Array of the Nine Nether Blood Sea Array,
the only ones able to fly were the disciples of Canghai!
"I am Bai Xiuying. Greetings to you both."
"So you are a distinguished disciple of Canghai! Please, co in!"
When Bai Xiuying saw Luo Xiyin’s makeup and attire, her eyes paused, and a flicker of surprise crossed her face.
The look she gave the pair changed slightly.
However, she quickly composed herself, landed on the ground, and entered the cave residence.
Su Ye summoned an attendant to serve tea and made so small talk.
Bai Xiuying’s attitude was polite. Her elegant, cherry-like lips took a delicate sip of the Spirit Tea.
"Mr. Su, to achieve Foundation Establishnt on your own before thirty is truly admirable."
"And Luo, your steady progress to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt is impressive, and your attainnts in the way of talismans are even more astounding..."
After a mont, Bai Xiuying got to the point.
She took out a jade slip and handed it to Luo Xiyin.
"Huh?"
Luo Xiyin didn’t take it, looking instead to Su Ye.
Only after seeing Su Ye give a slight nod did she reach out and accept the jade slip from Bai Xiuying.
"The Thunder Transformation Talisman? A third-rank talisman?"
Luo Xiyin’s eyes flickered. The jade slip actually contained the precious thod for crafting the talisman.
"What is the aning of this?"
