Translator: 549690339

“So every once in a while, a major Beast Tide will emerge.”

“I see.” Su Yu took a deep breath and sighed.

He brought Taoist Xiuyu to the Pill Pavilion, went up to the second floor, and called over Yu Qianging, Li Pingchang, Su Gutong, Su Rui’an, and others. Currently, Su Rui’an was responsible for managing the family’s alchemists as well as their medicine fields and spiritual medicine.

As everyone sat down, Su Yu looked to Taoist Xiuyu and said, “The variety and grade of elixirs that you need seem quite extensive, and you require a considerable quantity of them.”

“We can only do our best to refine them using all the family resources, but I can’t guarantee how many we will be able to produce.”

Taoist Xiuyu pondered, “Such a pity about those second-grade alchemists who were destroyed by the demonic path. Otherwise, I could have completed this task much easier.”

He sighed before looking at Su Yu and saying, “Taoist Friend Su, feel free to start refining. Regarding materials, I’ve brought some stockpile from the Celestial Hall. The requirement is to produce at least one elixir from each batch of materials. Any surplus will be purchased by the Celestial Hall at market prices.”

“For formations, one third of the materials suffice. If there is a surplus, the Celestial Hall will purchase them at a price 30% higher.”

“For rewards, I can’t promise much, but afterwards, I can allow Taoist Friend Su to choose from the resources obtained by the Celestial Hall from the Beast Tide, such as beast cores or various grades of beast blood essence. These rewards will definitely be worth more than spirit stones.”

“Also, after the Beast Tide, there will be a period of scarcity of beasts in the Moon Ridge. At that time, if there is any information about rare materials, I can provide it to Taoist Friend Su first.”

“One more thing, this time we will also gift one Celestial Hall’s ten city VIP tokens.”

“Our Celestial Hall’s ten city VIP status allows Taoist Friend Su to deny information about your identity from being researched by the average cultivator, unless those inquiring have a VIP status or higher.”

“Additionally, some secret information that we couldn’t share before, can now be shared with you.”

The Celestial Hall has been around for countless years and is as mysterious as the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

In terms of credibility and reputation, even though it might sell your information sometimes, the Celestial Hall never cheats in transactions, let alone tries to extort a single low-grade spirit stone from you.

The price is always fair.

In this regard, the Real Palace gang in Bai Yue Immortal City simply can’t compare.

Thus, Su Yu, who had been deceived by the Real Palace before, decided to agree immediately after some hesitation once he learned that the ten city VIP token could prevent commoners from prying into his information.

Having information that was once restricted now accessible to him was also a great benefit.

Although the price of elixirs in the market was a bit of a loss, it was covered by other gains, so it was acceptable.

If he could obtain pure beast cores and other Foundation Establishment pill materials, auxiliary materials for the Haotian Pill as rewards after the Beast Tide, the deal would be profitable.

Unless the Celestial Hall no longer cared about their reputation.

After discussing the sale of the Su Family’s own elixir with Taoist Xiuyu and agreeing on a price, Su Yu began to supply the elixirs to the Celestial Hall for sale on behalf of the Su Family. Afterward, Taoist Xiuyu left the Su Family.

Su Yu handed a jumbled Qiankun bag filled with countless alchemy materials to Yu Qianqing, Su Rui’an, and others. He said, “Now, let’s start refining elixirs. ”

In half a month, Taoist Xiuyu would visit the Su Family to collect the pills and formation materials. He would also settle the spirit stone accounts for the Su Family’s own pills and formation materials.

Once the Su Family was fully operational,

In just half a month, the Su Family had earned more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones from the trade with the Celestial Hall. The gains were substantial.

That didn’t even include the rewards for refining Celestial Hall’s own formation materials and elixir materials.

Half a month later, Taoist Xiuyu also brought news of the first Beast Tide attack on the Great Moon Black Market. It was a scene of indescribable carnage, especially when the first wave of the Beast Tide broke through the first line of defense of the Great Moon Black Market’s formation.

The cultivators of the Great Moon Black Market suffered hundreds of casualties and had to retreat to the second line of defense.

In just half a month, nearly a thousand cultivators had died or were injured over there.

Of course, the majority of these cultivators are at the stage of Qi Refinement.

Such numbers and proportions of casualties, Taoist Xiuyu estimated that all forces would have to summon cultivators to support the Greater Moon Market in about three months.

After seeing off Taoist Xiuyu, Su Yu returned to his own palace, took a deep breath and said, “The refinement of my physical body is about to break through the fourteenth layer. After that, I shall begin searching for the trace of the Sun and Moon Island.”

He glanced at the proficiency panel, the proficiency of his physical refinement technique had reached 99-92%.

He should be able to break through tomorrow.

After completing his daily cultivation, Su Yu’s Body Refinement proficiency increased to 99-96%, only half a step away from a breakthrough.

After the practice, Su Yu used the Earth Escape Skill to sink into the ground beneath Dan Mountain and started searching inch by inch for the possible existence of two third-order caves of Ice and Fire in the Sun and Moon Island. However, Dan Mountain is a group of active volcanoes with layers of rocks and lava beneath.

For Su Yu to search in such an area, the difficulty was immense.

He found nothing on the first day of searching.

The next day, in the secret chamber.

Su Yu swallowed a drop of top-quality second-order monster essence blood, and then operated the 108 styles of Crocodile Demon Body Refinement. A terrifying blood force exploded all over his body, like a flood engulfing the sea of blood, transforming into a giant crocodile demon sprawling across his body.

Blood-colored patterns emerged from his body, emitting a terrifying and ferocious aura, as if an ancient demon had come into being.

“Boom!”

Inside the formation barrier, the air vibrated with a thunderous rumble.

Su Yu’s aura became increasingly terrifying. After depleting a drop of top-quality second-order monster essence blood, he swallowed another one and continued his cultivation.

After he consumed the third drop of top-quality second-order monster essence blood, the aura of his physical cultivation technique quietly crossed the membrane of the threshold, and broke through from the thirteenth to the fourteenth layer. The energy and vitality within his body began to transform, his body too was in metamorphosis.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

A series of explosive sounds rang out from his bones. Su Yu completely released the power of Body Refinement, and in an instant, his body grew many times larger.

From an elegant and refined young man, he transformed into a nearly ten-meter tall humanoid giant crocodile beast.

His hands, covered in blood-colored patterns, extended resembling two ferocious crocodile claws.

He knocked one hand against his other arm, and the arm made a clang akin to that of bronze and iron tools.

Like he was wearing a layer of thick crocodile armor.

“Perhaps it can be compared to a top-notch mid-grade defensive Magic Artifact, or even a high-grade defensive Magic Artifact.” Su Yu mused to himself. He couldn’t help but be amazed. This ancient Body Refinement Technique was really fierce. Not only was its power astonishing, its physical defensive capabilities were surprisingly superior.

He continued to cultivate the 108 forms of the Crocodile Demon Body

Refinement Technique to consolidate his realm.

About half an hour later, the aura enveloping Su Yu’s body finally stabilized.

He restrained the aura of physical refinement and his body normalized.

His Divine Sense looked at the proficiency panel, and the information about Body Refinement had changed noticeably.

[Body Refinement Technique: Crocodile Demon 108 Forms (14th Layer, Proficiency 0.02%)].

Comparable to the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

He has become even stronger..
