Half a month later.

Su Zhi sent news that Family Head Su Peng, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, failed due to the onset of covert injuries, severely damaging his vital energy. Conversely, Fourth Elder Su Jingbang successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. This failure to break through virtually extinguishes any hope of another attempt in the future.

Hence, while Su Peng was still recuperating in the core area’s cave mansion, mending his severely damaged vital energy, Su Jingbang was in secluded cultivation there. Su Zhi had been arranged by Su Peng to return to the alley courtyard and persuade Su Yu to take over as the clan leader.

Su Yu said, “Sis, my character just isn’t suited for being a clan leader. Besides, I need to focus on my cultivation so that I can break through to the Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.”

Su Zhi sighed lightly and said, “I knew you wouldn’t accept. Father still has you in his thoughts. After the incident with Land Master Guo back then, he intended to groom you as the successor. But then you went to Yunshan Market and stayed there. Twenty years flew by.”

“Qingyi could have taken your place, but…..”

Su Zhi left her sentence unfinished. As both recalled the past in silence, after Su Yu had chosen to remain in Yunshan Market, the family had intended to groom Su Qingyi to succeed Su Yu.

But who would’ve thought that Su Qingyi would choose to betray the family and take up demonic cultivation?

If Su Yu is unwilling to take over as the family head, then alternatives must be discussed.

After a moment, Su Yu broke the silence, “Actually, it’s not necessarily that we need a Qi Refinement Realm disciple to be the family leader. Now that Elder Jingbang has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he can live for at least another hundred years.”

“And Elder Jingbang has both the strength and the ability to be the family head. ”

After mulling it over for a long time, Su Zhi said, “When the time comes, we’ll take the opinions of Father, Elder Jingbang, the Grand Ancestor, First Elder and others into consideration.”

Before long, the Yunjian Sect sent a message, prompting Su Zhi to leave Bai Yue Immortal City and return to the sect.

After their rental period of the core area’s cave mansion ended, Su Peng and Su

Jingbang returned to the alley courtyard. The effects of Su Peng’s failed breakthrough were evident; his hair had turned white, and he looked older compared to before.

Although Su Peng attempted to persuade Su Yu, after hearing his words, Su Peng sighed lightly and cast his gaze onto Su Jingbang.

Su Jingbang looked strange. Why did the subject turn towards him?

He never considered becoming the family head.

“Family Head, let’s discuss it further,” Su Jingbang hurriedly stopped Su Peng from speaking. Why were there so few Foundation Establishment cultivators becoming family heads? Because being a family head was laborious.

Busy dealing with the family’s affairs all day, who would have time to cultivate?

Hence for a family like the Su Family, the Family Head was usually chosen among the eighth or ninth level Qi Refinement disciples.

Those in the Foundation Establishment Realm would be promoted to become Ancestors.

Soon, both Su Peng and Su Jingbang left Bai Yue Immortal City.

Things were not quiet over at the family’s side and they could not stay away for such a long time.

With the pressure from the Huang and Jiang clans, with more and more demonic cultivators and evil cultivators gathering at the Eight Demon Ridge, and unrest even within the Yunjian Sect, this period of time was destined to be eventful.

Especially the Eight Demon Ridge, it was rumored that the demonic cultivator, Bloody Saber Daoist who had stolen the incomplete superior magical artifact, was hiding there.

Fortunately,

The Su Family strength was enhanced by the addition of one more Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Their foundation was also gradually accumulating.

“The family—I’ Watching the departing figures of the Family Head and Fourth Elder, Su Yu was silent for a long while, still firm in his decision.

From the very start, he had never thought about staying with the Su Family.

Going to the medicinal garden was his first step in leaving the family and cultivating, followed by the Yunshan Market, and now he had traveled even further to Bai Yue Immortal City.

How could he possibly turn back, and return to take charge of the family?

In his view, the whole cultivation world was enormous, and the Su Family, was just too small in comparison.

Bai Yue Immortal City.

In a market a few streets away from the alley.

A one-story wooden building with a backyard, after renovation, had been transformed into the ‘Phoenixtree Pill Pavilion’. The Pill Pavilion had been in business for over three months.

And within these short three months, the quality of the pills and their reputation had spread in the surrounding areas, gradually acquiring many regular customers and a steady stream of walk-ins.

Backyard.

It was late at night when the Elixir Hall closed its doors, and Su Yu did not return to his room.

Stars glittered in the sky above, threads of silver moonlight spilled down onto the backyard of the Elixir Hall, draping Su Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, in a veil of light.

Hum!

With a focused expression, Su Yu continually channeled the mana of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill into the flat bean-like seed in his palm, a pale green radiance bloomed from within the seed.

Ever since the last time the seed accidentally fell to the ground and grew, enhancing his abilities, over a decade had passed.

Now, after more than a decade of nourishment by mana, the seed’s life force had recently reached a new peak, which had Su Yu filled with anticipation.

What sort of anomalies or perhaps opportunities will the seed present this time?

Finally, in the late night, the seed dropped from Su Yu’s hand onto the ground, its emerald glow in full bloom.

In the blink of an eye.

The seed sprouted and rooted, accompanied by an increasingly bright emerald glow.

Within less than ten breaths, a spirit plant nearly two Zhang tall, with its curvaceous body resembling a coiled dragon, densely packed scale armor-like branches and a powerful flood dragon-like trunk, appeared before Su Yu.

The stars above focused their light and the nature’s spiritual energy from all directions converged towards the Spirit Plant, gradually forming a tide.

A flower bud appeared on the branch of the tree, gradually swelling and emitting a dazzling white light.

This time, when the flower bud bloomed, instead of a rich fragrance wafting out, a green fruit appeared.

The fruit grew to the size of a Bodhi, eventually turning golden, translucent and gleaming.

Only at this point did an unimaginably rich, exotic fragrance emanate.

“Swish, swish, swish.”

Under the dark night, a breeze blew through the branches of the Spirit Plant, producing a rustling sound. It was indeed a real tree, not an illusion.

Witnessing this spectacle, Su Yu was astounded. What exactly was this seed?

From germination to the maturity of the fruit, it didn’t even take half an hour.

After observing the Spirit Plant for a while.

Su Yu finally reached out and picked the fruit. The moment the fruit separated from the tree, the nearly two Zhang tall Spirit Plant instantly turned into floating ashes and disappeared.

“This…” Su Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He couldn’t find the seed, so his gaze fell on the golden, exotic fragrant fruit in his hand.

Considering the outcome of the earlier pollen and fragrance, this fruit should be non – toxic.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Su Yu placed the fruit in his mouth and took a bite.

The golden peel broke easily at the bite, and it seemed that the inside wasn’t flesh but juice filled with an exotic fragrance.

The juice poured into his mouth and slid down his throat into his stomach. The peel visibly withered at a visible speed, leaving only a flat fruit pit.

“Boom!”

The very next instant, a surge of hot energy swept through his entire body.

However, in Su Yu’s mind, his soul felt another kind of cool sensation. A cool force melded into his mind and his Cicada Skill spontaneously began to refine it. He could feel his soul power growing visibly.

At the same time, the two types of mana from Su Yu’s Green Wood Year Ring Skill and Profound Dark Earth Technique in his Dantian were also rapidly expanding.

Time slowly passed.

When the night receded, and a golden ray of dawn spilled into the backyard of the Elixir Hall, Su Yu opened his eyes, his gaze bursting with radiance, a dignity surpassing the Qi Refinement Realm emerged from his eyes.

At this moment, his consciousness felt incredibly clear; his thoughts seemed to move faster than before.

His vision, hearing, and other senses had all undergone a qualitative change.

Su Yu silently experienced these changes, his pupils shrinking. He was shocked at the bottom of his heart, “The Cicada technique has advanced to the second level; without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, my Divine Sense has already undergone a transformation comparable to the

Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“And as for mana, the Green Wood Year Ring Skill advanced overnight, equivalent to ten years of cultivation, reaching the nine revolutions of the first cycle—Qi Refinement Realm’s ninth layer.”

“The Profound Dark Earth Technique also reached the sixth layer..”
