Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Awaiting the Turmoil, Heading to the Immortal City
Ti flew by.
「Four years later.」
「Donglong Island.」
「Luoyue Cave Mansion.」
Su Ye, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, circulating the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill. Spiritual Qi gathered, and an azure-blue spiritual light swirled around his body.
Faintly, it gave off a deep and profound aura!
After a long while.
Su Ye withdrew his Magical Power, ending his cultivation for the day, and perford an Inner Observation of his Dantian and Qi Sea.
Forty-two drops of Liquid Magical Power, like phosphophyllite, had settled in his Qi Sea, emitting cold and profound fluctuations!
’In four years, I’ve refined twelve drops of Magical Power. That’s an average of three drops per year...’
Su Ye mused, calculating his progress.
Considering the high-grade Tier Two Spiritual Qi environnt of the Luoyue Cave Mansion,
plus the cultivation speed boost from the spiritual ship after manifesting the Ghostly Flood Dragon Dao Foundation,
Su Ye’s cultivation speed was quite decent!
’In another six years, I’ll be able to reach the sixty drops of Magical Power that the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill describes as the Peak of Early-stage Foundation Establishnt!’
’Then, I can try to break through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt realm...’
Su Ye murmured to himself, lost in thought.
To be honest, for Foundation Establishnt cultivators, accumulating Magical Power wasn’t difficult as long as they had a Tier Two Spiritual Cave Arena.
After all, most Foundation Establishnt cultivators had high-grade Spiritual Roots, or at least qualifications approaching that level.
What limited their cultivation breakthroughs were the bottlenecks!
’However, that’s not a problem for .’
During these four years, besides cultivating, Su Ye hadn’t slacked off on collecting living souls for the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
Thanks to the surge in the number of demonic beasts in the Dongning Sea Region, as well as the sporadic appearance of Tier Two demonic beasts, the number of living souls accumulated in the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Soul Abyss Blood Prison had now exceeded fifty thousand!
It wouldn’t be long now before he reached one hundred thousand living souls and upgraded it to a mid-grade Tier Two spiritual ship!
And with a mid-grade Tier Two spiritual ship, not only could he easily break through bottlenecks with the help of ’Harmony,’
but the cultivation speed boost from the Ghostly Flood Dragon would also increase.
’Honestly, it’s still a bit slow.’
’After all, I missed the golden age of vibrant life and explosive growth.’
’If this were during the pioneering wars, I’d probably have gathered a million living souls by now...’
Su Ye rubbed his chin, his tone filled with regret.
After reading the secret history of the Luo Family, he was well aware of how the Cyan Profound Sect and the various Foundation Establishnt immortal families, who now presented themselves as righteous and saintly,
had committed countless massacres and stained their hands with so much blood during the pioneering wars!
Even the Luo Family’s hands weren’t clean.
Three hundred years ago, Donglong Island was the holand of the natives, but now, one could hardly even find anyone of mixed blood on the island...
It was also for this reason
that when Su Ye learned of the existence of a Tier Three native, he felt a prickling on his back and had the urge to retreat.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he were that Tier Three native, he absolutely wouldn’t mind casually slaughtering everyone on Donglong Island.
’However, for the past few years, the locations of the ’Key of Heaven’ and the ’Key of the Sea’ have been very stable.’
’They’ve only moved slightly, staying within the range of a single island.’
Honestly, this slight movent put Su Ye at ease, as it ant the two keys were being carried around by the Tier Three native.
If the keys’ locations hadn’t moved at all, Su Ye would have been more worried.
’It seems the natives’ plot is still brewing. I still have a relatively peaceful period of ti.’
’Besides...’
A thoughtful look flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.
From his high-level perspective, he had a vague guess about the natives’ objective.
’The ’Key of Heaven’ and the ’Key of the Sea’ are both in the hands of the natives. This is probably not a coincidence!’
’Are they trying to gather all three keys to open the secret realm?’
’If so, then their target must be... the ’Key of the Earth’ in Weiyuan Immortal City.’
A sea chart appeared in Su Ye’s mind.
He drew a straight line from the southern end of the Dongning Sea Region to Weiyuan Immortal City.
The Luo Family’s Donglong Island was not on this line; its location was rather remote.
On the other hand, the Qi Family’s White Iron Island Marketplace was almost perfectly on this line...
"Interesting..."
A faint smile played on Su Ye’s lips. He was sitting back and waiting to see how things would unfold.
...
A mont later, Su Ye gathered his thoughts and stood up.
He flicked a finger, and the light of a Dust Purification Spell flared up around him.
Feeling refreshed all over, he calmly exited his seclusion.
"Greetings, Young Master..."
Outside the cave mansion, a charming and lovely female cultivator in a beige ruqun curtsied.
She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cultivation at around the third layer of Qi Refining.
Qi Shuhui.
The direct daughter of Liuli the Qi Clan.
Several years ago, she had been sent to Donglong Island by the Qi Family to beco Su Ye’s concubine and maidservant.
Qi Shuhui was obedient and nimble-fingered, exceptionally talented at managing the cave mansion, and utterly impeccable.
Especially in the matters of the bed, her soft and supple body left Su Ye quite satisfied.
"Has anything happened on the island while I was in seclusion?"
Su Ye reached out and teased Qi Shuhui as he asked casually.
Qi Shuhui’s almond-shaped eyes blinked. As she looked at Su Ye’s handso and spirited face, a charming blush crept onto her cheeks.
"Nothing major has happened..."
"However, Sister Qing’e has reached the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refining and is currently in seclusion to break through to the ninth layer..."
"So Qing’e is about to reach the ninth layer of Qi Refining..."
Su Ye nodded, feeling a bit wistful but not surprised.
Luo Qing’e’s aptitude was a high-grade Spiritual Root.
Eight years ago, she had already purchased a rank-breaking elixir from the immortal city’s grand auction to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
Now, preparing to break through to the ninth layer was perfectly reasonable.
’Speaking of which, the grand auction in Weiyuan Immortal City is also about to be held...’
Su Ye pondered.
He was planning a trip to Weiyuan Immortal City.
First, to forge a Spiritual Artifact for himself.
Currently, aside from the Golden Simurgh Sword, which had a conflicting attribute, Su Ye had no other Spiritual Artifacts.
The main reason: Su Ye’s standards were too high!
He wanted to create a Tier Two talismanic artifact that would be sufficient for him to use all the way to Foundation Establishnt Perfection!
Using the South Frost Ice Crystal gifted by the Cyan Profound Sect as the main ingredient, supplented by a few other rare materials, there was no issue with the components.
However, he still needed an Artifact Refining master and a talisman master.
The latter was simple enough.
After cultivating the Six Desires Secret Scripture, Luo Xiyin’s Divine Sense had greatly increased, and her bottleneck had loosened.
Three years ago, she broke through her bottleneck and stepped into the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt realm.
Her attainnts in the dao of talismans had also stabilized at the quasi-Tier Three level, making her a true talisman master!
The forr, however, was quite troubleso.
The Artifact Refining masters in Weiyuan Immortal City were few and far between, highly sought-after, and all worked by appointnt only!
Their order books were full.
Su Ye’s order had been in the queue for over three years, and it was finally almost his turn!
’On this trip to Weiyuan Immortal City, the first order of business is to forge the Spiritual Artifact...’
’The second is to restock my supply of Cold Jade Elixirs.’
As the essential elixir for cultivating the ’Ice-like Skin and Jade-like Bones,’ Su Ye had a huge demand for Cold Jade Elixirs!
The refining difficulty was manageable; any Tier Two Pill Master could do it without much trouble.
However, its raw materials were quite hard to find.
With Su Ye’s financial resources, he had gathered enough materials for three batches, which, along with the Luo Family’s original reserves, had supplied him for four years.
But for the fourth ti, he had finally failed to gather them all.
Su Ye was currently lacking one main Spirit dicine: the ’Nine-leaf Ice Orchid’.
’The Nine-leaf Ice Orchid should appear at the grand auction. I can buy so more...’
And aside from these two matters...
A glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.
’I also want to see the ’Key of the Earth’!’
...
...
...
First, a 2k-word Chapter. I had insomnia last night, so I’m in bad shape this morning, sleepy and tired.
If I force myself to write when I’m not feeling it, the quality won’t be good.
I’ll do one update this afternoon. I’ll make up for it with more updates later...
