A few days later.

Su Yu was taken aback by the sudden visit of Wu Zhigang. Why did he come again?

Seeing Su Yu, Wu Zhigang greeted warmly with a full smile. “Taoist friend Su, I have reliable news about the core ingredient of the Foundation Establishment

Pill, the Ice Heart Lotus. I have already found three friends to help me obtain it. Are you interested in joining us?”

“If you’re interested, then consider a part of the Ice Heart Lotus as yours.”

“However, I must clarify that since I provided the information about the Ice

Heart Lotus, I want the biggest share – 40 percent.”

“The rest will be divided among you.”

Su Yu had a flicker of interest.

The Ice Heart Lotus just happened to be one of the three core ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill that the Su family lacked.

The other two were the pure, second-grade demon cores and the Ethereal Fruit.

But…

Would this guy before him invite him to share the benefits?

Su Yu wouldn’t trust this guy’s character.

So, Su Yu declined politely, saying he had accepted some orders for alchemy and didn’t have time to go out. He thanked him for his kindness and escorted him out of the yard.

Outside, Wu Zhigang’s face changed unpredictably. Biting his teeth, he muttered, “He’s not interested?”

Humph!

He glared venomously at Su Yu’s courtyard and left with a flourish.

Half a month passed.

One night.

The secret room under the room.

Su Yu used the Puppetry Technique to carve out a strand of soul. As pain surged, his face turned slightly pale and he became a little dazed.

But the next moment he focused, gritting his teeth as he controlled the strand of soul to enter the first-grade superior puppet beast in front of him.

Then he pricked his fingertip, and the fresh blood under his control fell on the puppet beast and merged into the puppet beast’s body.

“Hum!”

As the fresh blood and soul slowly merged into the puppet, under the function of the Puppetry Technique, the originally metallic puppet gradually underwent a metamorphosis and took on the shape of a human. And human skin and hair strands sprouted bit by bit.

Nearly ten days passed.

In the secret room, a lifelike Dao puppet identical to Su Yu was formed.

The next moment, it morphed into an ordinary old man with slightly white hair. If you look closely, you would find that it resembled the Chen family’s Second Elder. This was deliberate on Su Yu’s part. This way, even if this Dao body puppet were seen or captured by someone one day, they wouldn’t link it to Su Yu.

“Finally, it’s ready.”

Su Yu looked at the Dao body puppet in front of him with joy. At his command, the Dao body puppet shifted between its human form and shadow leopard form.

With his current level of mastery of the Puppetry Technique, he could only manage to transform between two forms. However, he could change its face.

And that was sufficient.

Once he completed the Dao body puppet, once he worked on the second-grade inferior dragon crocodile puppet beast, he could extract the strand of soul from the first-grade superior Dao body puppet and integrate it into the dragon crocodile puppet beast.

At that time, it might only take three or four days to transform it into a new Dao body puppet.

This first-grade superior shadow leopard puppet beast was the initial first-grade superior puppet beast. Its strength was only about the 8th level of Qi Refinement.

It was inferior in quality to the one he initially sold to the Chen family.

It couldn’t even compare to the dragon hawk puppet beast he sold to the Yu family.

But it didn’t matter.

Once the second-grade inferior dragon crocodile puppet beast was done, he could use that puppet beast to form his Dao body puppet.

This puppet was just a transitional phase.

“Quite interesting.”

Su Yu controlled the ‘old man’ Dao body puppet to leave the secret room, step on the street, and stroll in Bai Yue Immortal City. At the same time, he could also recuperate his soul injury by operating the Golden Cicada Technique.

In the following time, Su Yu familiarized himself with the Puppet Artifact, and was methodical in practicing the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the Crocodile

Demon One Hundred and Eight Body Refinement Techniques, and the Golden

Cicada Law.

Finally, after nearly another month passed.

The Crocodile Demon One Hundred and Eight Body Refinement Techniques finally transcended the ninth layer and reached a new realm level.

“Boom!”

In the secret chamber.

Even after Su Yu activated three formations, the barriers of the formations were still shaken by the aura he emitted. A boundless ripple appeared, teetering on the verge of collapse, as if it might be shattered by this aura at any moment.

The proficiency of the ninth layer of the Crocodile Demon One Hundred and Eight Body Refinement Techniques reached perfection, thus naturally elevating to the tenth layer.

Although it was just a change in layer, this breakthrough was a complete transformation.

From the spirit to the flesh, even the mana of the Green Wood Year Ring had changed.

A boundless blood-red aura filled the entire secret chamber, like a sea of blood.

In the heart of this sea of blood, Su Yu sat cross-legged, his body considerably enlarged. The blood-colored patterns transformed from his blood energy covered his skin like the scale armor of a giant crocodile. He looked like a humanoid crocodile monster.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”

Unbounded nature’s spiritual energy poured in.

Fortunately, Su Yu had prepared Spirit Stones, so this movement did not attract the outside spiritual energy.

Time went by in a flash.

A day later.

The disturbance subsided, and the spiritual energy gathered in the world returned to tranquility.

“Phew!”

Inside the secret chamber, the blood-colored aura in the sky was inhaled by Su Yu in one breath, and then he exhaled a white, lingering mist. It swept through the chamber like a whirlwind.

Click, click, click!

Su Yu opened his eyes, his transformed body produced a sound like cracking joints as he moved his body and head.

A fleeting blood-red ferocious light flashed in Su Yu’s eyes.

He stood up, releasing a thread of his aura, “Boom!”

In an instant.

The air in the secret chamber exploded, and the ground was slightly trembling under the influence of this aura.

Su Yu then completely withdrew his aura, a hint of joy on his face. With his fists slightly clenched, he felt the terrible power within his body and murmured, “Is this the power of the tenth layer of the Crocodile Demon Body Refinement Techniques?”

“My physical body is surely stronger than an ordinary cultivator at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, unless they’ve also practiced Body Refinement techniques.”

“If I get close to them, I might even be able to explode their bodies with a single punch!”

It felt great.

After successfully breaking through to the tenth layer of the Body Refinement technique, Su Yu took a rare day off, doing nothing but basking in the sun in the courtyard while only doing his daily cultivation.

But then, the next day, Wu Zhigang visited him again, inviting him to team up in search of the Ice Heart Lotus.

But Su Yu politely declined, which incensed Wu Zhigang to the point that he angrily stormed off.

“You’ll regret this!” Wu Zhigang roared in resentment.

Watching Wu Zhigang’s retreating figure, Su Yu’s eyes narrowed and a cold smirk lingered on his face, his eyes flashing with menacing intent.

“The Ice Heart Lotus, if it truly exists, I can’t afford to miss it,” Su Yu murmured to himself.

A few moments later.

The Puppet Artifact quietly left with a Qiankun Bag and a Beast Taming Bag, following Wu Zhigang from a distance, using the Green Wood Year Ring Skill to conceal its aura to the utmost.

Not long after, Wu Zhigang arrived at a private room in a restaurant, grumbling, “That guy is too scared to die. Damn it, I originally wanted to take him to Yuan Yang Wilderness with us, to use him as cannon fodder to scout the way. Now, there’s no other way.”

“Let’s go. The Ice Heart Lotus is about to mature. If we don’t go in now, it will be eaten by the demons and it won’t be our turn to act.”

There were three cultivators in the private room, all at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, two men, and one woman.

At a glance, these three cultivators appeared to be middle-aged, especially the female cultivator, who resembled a mature young woman..
