The Su Family had not sold the Mind-bewildering Liquid to the outside world, because its effects were far greater than that of the Beast Attraction Powder. It was not suitable to appear for the time being.
With the business of the Beast Attraction Powder, the Su Family generated quite a bit of profit every year.
If the Mind-bewildering Liquid were to appear, the Su Family might not be able to keep it a secret.
Of course.
The Mind-bewildering Liquid had already been used in the struggle between the Su Family and the Lin Family for two years. As long as it wasn’t sold, there was no need to hide it.
As for the favor of Chen Sisi, a disciple of the Yunjian Sect —
Su Yu thought it was worth investing a bottle of Mind-bewildering Liquid, after all, Chen Sisi was cultivating the rare Ice Attribute Cultivation Technique and Spells.
Not to mention, there was a legitimate young lady from the third room of the Yu Family in Black Rock Mountain.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, pulled out the remaining half-bottle of
Mind-bewildering Liquid from his Qiankun Bag, and said, “This is the Mind-bewildering Liquid refined by my master. It is not being sold to the outside world for now, so, please accept this, Miss Yu.”
“Although it is only half a bottle, this amount is enough to capture two late-stage first-tier demon beasts. I only have this half-bottle left, I apologize.”
Yu Ke’er frowned slightly and said, “Can’t you refine it? Or could you ask your master to refine another bottle for me? I have money. I can buy.”
Su Yu shook his head and said, “My master is not here, and I am only a mid-grade Alchemist of the first tier. The Mind-bewildering Liquid that can bewitch a late-stage first-tier demon beast is of a high-grade first-tier level.”
Yu Ke’er wrinkled her nose, let the old woman behind her take the half bottle of
Mind-bewildering Liquid, and asked, “How much?”
Su Yu replied with a smile, “One hundred low-grade spirit stones.”
As Yu Ke’er’s eyes widened, ready to speak, Su Yu continued, “This is a concentrate, it is best to apply it to a magic artifact.”
“If you want to capture it alive, then the Mind-bewildering Liquid is indeed a good choice.”
“Otherwise, cheap poison would be quite good.”
Yu Ke’er looked at Su Yu’s young and handsome face, and said, “I’ll take it. Order another bottle of Mind-bewildering Liquid for me, Auntie Hai, please settle the bill.”
Leaving three hundred low-grade spirit stones, Yu Ke’er turned and left. When Chen Sisi left, she whispered again, “Thank you, Brother Su. I owe you a favor. If there is anything you need, just ask me.”
Chen Sisi then followed Yu Ke’er out.
Su Yu accepted the spirit stones and shook his head slightly.
Yu Ke’er insisted on giving him the spirit stones, which means she didn’t want to owe him a favor. So, he accepted them.
As for the price —
It was about three times the cost of refining the Mind-bewildering Liquid.
So, over the past two years, Su Yu’s small treasure chest had been growing quite substantial.
A Pill Master with a 100% success rate in refining pills, it was not difficult to make money.
He turned and returned to the backyard to continue cultivating. Once his mana, vigor, and spirit were restored, Su Yu continued to refine pills.
Currently, almost half of the mid-grade first-tier pills in the Su Family’s Pill Tower were refined by Su Yu.
A few days later.contemporary romance
After returning from a trip, Su Qingyi reported, “It turns out that the Chen Family, where Chen Sisi belongs, is not weak and possesses a Foundation
Establishment Realm elder.”
“But the Chen Family is currently having a tough time. There’s a vein in their mine that produces the spirit ore, Purple Gold Sand, a commonly used material for refining low and mid-grade magical artifacts. It’s very valuable.”
“However, not long after the spirit ore vein was discovered, the Chen Family was targeted by the Bai Family of Maple City, and the Chen Family suffered heavy losses at that mine.”
“That’s why the Chen Family wants to ask for help from the Yu Family now, even if it’s only from the third room of the Yu Family, it can still deter the Bai
Family of Maple City and keep them from acting recklessly.”
Su Yu’s eyebrows creased slightly, it was the Bai family from Maple City again. He looked at Su Qingyi with suspicion, “How did you know all this?”
Su Qingyi laughed, “Li Shinan is planning to take a break and leave the Yunjian Sect to return to the mortal dynasty to visit his family. He invited me to visit the royal palace with him, as a form of cultivation.”
“The matter concerning Chen Sisi was mentioned by him.”
Hesitating for a moment, Su Qingyi continued, “I should probably take a leave of absence from the alchemy tower and accompany Li Shinan.”
“After that, I’ll see whether or not I should visit Chen Sisi’s family, the Chen Family. Since the Bai Family of Maple City has interfered in River City’s affairs and is now in conflict with the Chen Family, I’d like to take a look.”
Having said his goodbyes, Su Qingyi was bid farewell by Su Yu at the marketplace. Su Yu watched his retreating figure in silence.
Perhaps alchemy really wasn’t suited for Su Qingyi. He wasn’t one to follow the path of secluded cultivation slowly progressing within the confines of the marketplace.
Su Yun returned to River City after some time.
During this period, Su Yu chaired the Su Family’s alchemy tower, where he started selling some high-quality grade-one, mid-ranking elixirs.
Initially, not many people knew about it, but as time passed, people in the nearby markets were aware that the Su Family’s alchemy tower could produce high-quality elixirs in small batches.
The reputation of the genius alchemist, Su Yu, started to spread within a small radius.
Half a month later.
Yu Ke’er came to the alchemy tower to collect her bottle of Mystic God Liquid and looked Su Yu up and down, “I didn’t expect you to be able to make high-quality grade-one mid-rank elixirs.”
Not waiting for Su Yu to respond, Yu Ke’er’s face broke into a smile. She seemed in high spirits, even somewhat arrogantly said, “However, thanks to your Mystic God Liquid, I am now a top-ranked grade-one Beast Tamer.”
After she received the Mystic God Liquid, Yu Ke’er threw a token to Su Yu, “This is for you. It’s a token from Yun Mountain Auction House.”
“The triennial Yun Mountain Auction will be held in seven days. You could go check it out.”
With the token in hand and watching Yu Ke’er’s retreating figure, Su Yu was puzzled. Giving him an auction token?
He examined the auction list inside the token with his divine sense and his eyes lit up. He saw many auction items that piqued his interest, most importantly, there were Foundation Establishment Pills.
With the approach of the auction, Yun Mountain’s marketplace indeed became much busier with many strange cultivators showing up.
Seven days later.
Su Yu, along with Master Su Yun, headed to Yun Mountain Commercial Bank to participate in the auction with the auction token.
Thanks to the auction token, they were able to secure a small private box on the second floor.
“No matter how, we must secure a Foundation Establishment pill,” Su Yun said in a low voice as soon as they sat down.
The auction house was massive and required a minimum of one hundred inferior-grade spirit stones to participate in the auction.
The auction hall on the ground floor was filled with nearly hundreds of cultivators.
In contrast, on the second and third floors, each compartment held many formidable and powerful cultivators, with even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators appearing.
The auction quickly began.
The first item up for auction was a Lifespan Extension Pill of an excellent grade-one, high-level pill. The starting bid was one hundred inferior-grade spirit stones.
Many elderly cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm had bright eyes. High-grade Lifespan Extension Pills of this quality were rare. If one had not taken a Lifespan Extension Pill before, this one could potentially extend their lifespan by more than five years.
The auction for the Lifespan Extension Pill was intense, and the final bid reached five hundred and eighty inferior-grade spirit stones before it stopped.
Su Yu and Su Yun did not bid from their box on the second floor, and watched as each auction item was sold.
It was only when a grade-one, high-ranking Talisman heritage was listed, Su Yu took action and secured it for four hundred and sixty inferior-grade spirit stones.
Nearing the end, the auctioneer presented a dark, golden-colored beast egg, emitting waves of intense heat.
The auctioneer elaborated, “This is a grade-two Bloodline Earthfire Ape beast egg. According to the tests carried out by the Yu Family in Heiyan Mountain, this beast egg was directly taken from the abdomen, resulting in some congenital deficiencies.”
“However, this does not affect the potency of the Earthfire Ape beast. With careful upbringing, it can potentially reach the level of a grade-two beast.”
“The starting bid is three hundred inferior-grade spirit stones, with each bid incrementing by at least fifty inferior-grade spirit stones.. Who will bid?”
