That day, Taoist Xiuyu once again descended on Danshan, piloting his Flying Boat.
Upon seeing Su Yu, Taoist Xiuyu didn’t ask about the elixir, but about the second order mid-grade Talisman Technique: “Taoist Friend Su, what is your success rate in crafting the second order mid-grade talismans?”
With his brows slightly furrowed, Su Yu hesitated slightly before responding:
“About forty percent.”
The actual value should be between seventy and eighty percent.
However, even for a third-order lower-grade talisman craftsman to draw the second-order mid-grade talismans, this success rate would be considered the norm.
At present, his cultivation level is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment Realm. Being able to achieve a success rate of seventy to eighty percent for the second order mid-grade talismans is terrifying, and he certainly couldn’t reveal this.
Moreover, even with a success rate of forty percent for the second order mid-grade talismans, this is already considered top-tier amongst second order mid-grade talisman craftsmen.
“Forty percent!?”
Looking at Su Yu with surprise, Taoist Xiuyu had expected a success rate of at least twenty percent, optimally reaching a normal level of thirty percent.
However, he never expected Su Yu, in the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, to possess such formidable skill in the second order mid-grade Talisman Technique.
After casting Su Yu a deep look, Taoist Xiuyu said, “The Great Moon Market requires a large number of second order mid-grade talismans, so Taoist Friend Su doesn’t need to make talismans of a lesser quality.”
“There is three parts materials for one finished product. Tianxu Palace is willing to reward Taoist Friend Su with three mid-grade Spirit Stones per item.”
“Here are sixty batches of the second order mid-grade talisman materials, take them and return the completed talismans alongside your reward in half a month.”
After contemplating for a while, Su Yu nodded, saying, “I’m willing.”
As long as he didn’t need to worry about the materials, collecting second order mid-grade talisman materials was not an easy task. Plus, for a second order mid-grade finished product, there would be a reward equivalent to over three hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones. Therefore, it was worth it.
In half a month, he would only have to provide twenty batches of the finished talismans.
By that time, half of the total materials should be left. He would also receive sixty mid-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to over six thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones. It was a worthy trade.
Of course, Su Yu was mainly interested in Tianxu Palace’s materials. If kept at a consistent rate, he could save half of them each time. This way, he could acquire large amounts of second order mid-grade talisman materials from Tianxu Palace.
A moment later.
Taoist Xiuyu and Su Yu agreed that all talismans should be of the attack type. He then accepted a Qiankun Bag from Su Rui’an containing the elixir concocted by the Su Family over this period.
After settling the elixir Spirit Stones of the Su Family’s own materials with Su Rui’an, Taoist Xiuyu was getting ready to leave, but Su Yu called for him to stay.
Su Yu asked, “Taoist Friend Xiuyu, do you have any information on Taoist
Shuhai, the personal disciple of the Great Moon Palace?”
Surprised, Taoist Xiuyu turned back, asking, “Taoist Friend Su, why do you need this information…?”
After a moment of thought, Su Yu answered, “During my time at the Great Moon Market, Taoist Shuhai sent me a card inviting me for a meeting, but I had to rush back to my family, so I refused.”
“Now, I just want to understand what kind of person Taoist Shuhai is.”
“Oh. ”
Taoist Xiuyu contemplated, as he remembered Taoist Shuhai’s actions in the past. Chen Bailai of the Yunjian Sect had provoked Su Yu and Su Zhi, resulting in Chen Bailai being seriously injured by a slap from Yu Ke’er’s tamed beast.
The second elder of the Yunjian Sect originally intended to retaliate for his disciple, but had not expected Taoist Shuhai to send his junior disciple to pressure the Yunjian Sect into apologising for the incident.
And the reason? It seemed to be because Taoist Friend Su was a close friend of Taoist Shuhai?
Yet—
The absurd and peculiar part was that in the records of Tianxu Palace, there was no evidence of any interactions between Taoist Shuhai and Su Yu or Su Zhi, nor any of the other members of the Su Family.
So, who was this close friend? And how did they become close friends?
Why exactly did Taoist Shuhai intervene in this matter?
Taoist Xiuyu, ever the analyzer of information, found he just couldn’t figure it out.
He looked at Su Yu, and chuckled, “Previously, Taoist Friend Su, you couldn’t buy information about Taoist Shuhai. But now you can. What aspect are you interested in?”
Su Yu replied, “Just the general information will do. I just want to understand
Taoist Shuhai’s character.”
“One thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.”
That much?
After thinking for a moment though, Su Yu realized that as a personal disciple of the Great Moon Palace elder, gathering information about Taoist Shuhai would not be easy and involved high risk. Therefore, a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones actually wasn’t much.
After paying the Spirit Stones, Su Yu received a jade slip from Taoist Xiuyu. Taoist Xiuyu then embarked on his Flying Boat and took off.
In the meantime, Su Yu looked at the jade slip about Taoist Shuhai, which recorded Taoist Shuhai’s life experiences and traits, including his age, Spiritual Root, Cultivation Technique, unique skills, and so on. The price of a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones was, in fact, quite fair.
“Taoist Shuhai, real name Chen Shulin, born into the secluded Chen Family of cultivators. He is currently 103 years old with the exceptional talent of an earth-grade Water Spirit Root. Fifty-two years ago, he had already reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm…
Upon seeing this, Su Yu furrowed his brows.
So it turned out Taoist Shuhai is over a hundred years old.
He had reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm over fifty-two years ago!
Having not broken through in over fifty years, could it be because he wasn’t confident in his ability to advance to Core Formation Realm?
Or was he waiting for the Golden Core?
Another thought came into Su Yu’s mind: “Or could it be that the Great Moon Palace possesses the Golden Core Daoist inheritance, and he wishes to walk the path of the Golden Core?”
Not overly concerned with this matter,
Su Yu closely examined Taoist Shuhai’s life. After viewing each event, Su Yu thought to himself: “This guy, he seems to prefer quiet cultivation, doesn’t he? Also, he doesn’t stir up trouble on his own, and loves reading the most, which is why he chose the Daoist name ‘Taoist Shuhai’ under the tutelage of his master, Taoist Tiejuan..”
