Driving a second-order inferior puppet beast requires a medium-grade Spirit

Stone. One medium Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones, but to exchange for a medium-grade Spirit Stone typically requires one hundred and fifty-six lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Su Yu had prepared twenty in advance, and now he placed ten medium-grade

Spirit Stones into the core of the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast.

Hum!

As the core was activated, a wild beast-like aura of Evil Qi permeated the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast.

This time, Su Yu dared not compete directly with the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast using his Body Refinement Skill.

The aura emanating from the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast gave him an eerie feeling, far surpassing him and even stronger than an average practitioner at the third level of Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps it could even hold its own against the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If he wanted to face off against the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast, he’d have to wait until his Green Wood Year Ring Skill reached the second ring and third rotation, or until his Body Refinement Skill reached the twelfth or thirteenth level.

“Next, I will transform it into a Dao Puppet.” Su Yu looked at the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast with fiery eyes.

For it, Su Yu had spent nearly six thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones on material costs alone.

If a second-order inferior Puppet Master were to put it up for auction, it is doubtful that it would not sell for double the price. He had spent years collecting the materials.

In the secret room.

Su Yu sat cross-legged, using Puppet Technique to extract the strand of soul that he had previously cut from the first-grade superior puppet beast.

He then integrated it into the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast’s body.

At the moment of integration, Su Yu felt a wild, residual beast-like aura attack him.

Kill, kill, kill!

This fierce, aggressive, wild nature violently invaded Su Yu’s soul fragment.

This was one of the dangers of using Puppet Technique.

The material of the Puppet Beast would influence the integrated soul, and over time, it could cause the original mind to change.

However, Su Yu executed the Golden Cicada Technique the moment the wild aura from the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast reached him.

Hum!

In an instant, Su Yu’s soul fragment transformed into a golden cicada pupa.

A brilliant golden light illuminated the entire Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast.

It took nearly an entire day for Su Yu to cleanse the residual beast-like aura, which would facilitate his use of Puppet Technique and make it easier for his soul fragment to integrate into the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast.

By the third day, the aura of the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast had changed.

The enormous puppet beast that was originally three Zhang high and resembled a Tyrannosaurus gradually began to change. With the application of the Dao Puppet Technique, the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast transformed into a Dao Puppet that looked exactly like Su Yu, accompanied by a burst of light.

Su Yu admired it for a while, and thought that if he did not damage the Dao Puppet’s body, perhaps even Su Zhi and the others wouldn’t be able to tell that it was a puppet.

There was still no news of the breakthroughs of the Family Head, Su Peng, and the Fourth Elder, Su Jingbang, so Su Yu contemplated while looking at Dao Puppet in front of him.

After the auction, he only had a little over two thousand five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones left.

The twenty medium-grade Spirit Stones need to be reserved for Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast in case of emergencies.

And the over two thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones will probably only be enough for him to use for more than a year, and that’s only considering normal cultivation consumption, excluding side jobs- –

The advancement of the Flame Ape and Black-Feathered Eagle, two beast-taming creatures, to the front period of the second order. He had just cultivated a new earth attribute Cultivation Technique.

Then considering the usual cultivation of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the Alligator Demon 108 Body Refinement Skill.

Additionally, Alchemy, Seal Script, and the continued research on Puppet Beasts, etc.

There are far too many places where Spirit Stones are needed.

“I estimate that the first-order superior puppet beast on my body could sell for two to three thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones,” Su Yu thought to himself, “Apart from that, if I really run out of money, I might be able to sell a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“However, I have already crafted a Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast, and I have two early-stage second-order beasts, a Earth Fire Ape and a Black Scale Hawk. I also have a second-order lower-grade talisman.”

“Perhaps, I could try accepting jobs to make second-order lower-grade elixirs?”

While mulling over this, Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly. Wouldn’t it be better to open another Alchemy Tower instead?

However, opening one myself might be a bit risky. My cultivation at the Qi Refinement Realm would stand out too much, drawing envious eyes.

At this moment, a figure popped up in Su Yu’s mind and the frown on his face gradually eased into a pleased expression.

“It indeed might look suspicious if I open it myself. However, if I were to partner with the Yu Family – no, to be more precise, with Yu Ke’er, and then let ‘Yu Family’ take the front stage, huh.” Su Yu found this idea more and more agreeable as he thought about it.

If I could open an Alchemy Tower, I could potentially earn a steady income of five to six thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones in Baiyue Xian City each year.

Of course, this also includes the alchemy orders given by Yu Ke’er earlier.

With this income, I could afford to cultivate quietly in Baiyue Xian City without needing to scramble about.

The only issue is figuring out how to persuade Yu Ke’er.

The next day.

Su Yu invited Yu Ke’er over as a guest. He hadn’t seen her for a while and he noticed an additional trace of fatigue on her face. There even seemed to be signs of minor wrinkles on her forehead.

“Has Miss Yu been busy recently?” Su Yu asked, slightly surprised.

Yu Ke’er gently shook her head and took a sip of the Spiritual Tea offered by Su Yu. She did not continue the conversation but instead quietly drank her tea.

She seemed to be enjoying the tranquility of the courtyard, which managed to calm ner.

A moment later.

Yu Ke’er turned to look at Su Yu and said, “You’re not the type to invite someone over for idle chit-chat. What’s the matter?”

Su Yu responded with a smile, his thick skin had gotten him through worse.

Su Yu asked, “Are you interested in opening up a alchemy store together, in Baiyue Xian City?”

“I don’t…” Yu Ke’er initially shook her head but then paused. She stared silently at Su Yu for a moment and pondered over a lot of things, even guessing the intent behind Su Yu’s proposal.

If it were anyone else, Yu Ke’er would have probably stormed off already.

But looking at Su Yu’s handsome face which hadn’t aged much in over a decade or two, she fell silent for quite a while.

“How do you plan to operate?” asked Yu Ke’er.

Su Yu proposed a 70-30 partnership, preparing himself for haggling, as 50-50 was his bottom line.

However, Yu Ke’er shook her head and said, “90-10, with you having the 90.

We can use my name to open it.”

Su Yu stared at Yu Ke’er, astonished.

At this moment, Yu Ke’er let out a charming smile and said, “It’s not often that

I get to make you owe me a favor. Let’s leave it at that.”

Su Yu remained silent for a while before finally shaking his head, “Let’s do

70-30, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Yu Ke’er looked at Su Yu for a moment before nodding gently and dropping the matter, changing the topic to the Spirit Fruits and other matters.

After chatting for a while, Yu Ke’er left.

When she was leaving, Yu Ke’er took the responsibility of choosing a location for their Alchemy Tower, using it as her contribution to their partnership.

After Yu Ke’er had left, Su Yu furrowed his eyebrows, wondering if opening the Alchemy Tower was a good or bad idea.

He had vaguely figured out Yu Ke’er’s feelings, but he wasn’t ready for it.

“Let’s see how it goes. As long as nothing goes wrong, I can operate the Alchemy Tower. If something happens…” Su Yu gave a light sigh. Would he become a jerk if he carried on with this train of thought?

No, he was a clean and decent man.

Although Yu Ke’er, the legitimate daughter of Yu Family, was indeed very suitable for him, at least a 9 out of 10.

Shaking his head to cast away these messy thoughts, Su ‘Steadfast Mind. Yu showed a smile, “Now that I have a stable income, I can focus on my cultivation..”
