Chapter 513: 156 Show the Power of the Fairy, the First Person under the Fifth Stage (10K)_6
Afterwards, Taoist Tianyu took another thirty drops from Su Yu, leaving only forty-two drops in Su Yu’s possession.
If you subtract the five drops that he gave to Luo Qianyu, there are thirty-seven left, which is not a small amount.
Over the past six months, the news of the appearance of Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid in the Illusionary Sea Marsh ruins has spread, drawing more and more powers to the Ten Lords Immortal City, and the number of cultivators in the city has greatly increased.
A month after Taoist Tianyu emerged from seclusion, another startling piece of news spread within the Ten Lords Immortal City.
Members of the Demon Clan had appeared in the vicinity of the Ten Lords Immortal City, also drawn by the ruins!
Unlike the Dark Moon Tiger Clan of the Dark Moon Range, whom had hidden themselves away for many years, the Demon Clan in the central region of the Daqian Cultivation World had often made moves against the human cultivators’ cities, markets, and resource lands.
Beyond the territories of various forces, those places could be considered as the Demon Clan’s domain.
Take the Illusionary Sea Marshes for example. There were in fact a few Demon Clans inhabiting its depths. Previously, when various major powers surged deep into the Marshes, those Demon Clans did not dare show themselves.
This time, however, members of the Demon Clan have now brazenly appeared near the Ten Lords Immortal City.
Quite clearly,
If human powers were to enter the Illusionary Sea Marshes again, a battle between the Human Cultivators and the Demon Clan would be inevitable.
The atmosphere in the Ten Lords Immortal City grew increasingly tense.
All forces, including the Ground Immortal Residence, called in more manpower.
On the eve of the opening of the ruins in the Illusionary Sea Marshes, Su Yu and Luo Qianyu received a letter from an old friend.
In the central area of the Ten Lords Immortal City.
The Eight Directions Immortal Tower.
In a room near the street of the third floor.
Su Yu, Luo Qianyu, and Ma Shiqing were drinking together. Su Yu looked at Ma Shiqing, who had changed quite a bit, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Taoist Friend Ma, if you keep on changing like this, you might become a completely different person.”
In the past, due to Ma Shiqing’s cultivation of the Land Master’s path, his appearance and demeanor had seemed rather old, with a face full of wrinkles and white hair all over his head.
He looked even older than Taoist Tianyu did before.
But now, after more than twenty years, Ma Shiqing appeared to have become ‘younger’.
His hair had mostly turned black, and his appearance was significantly younger.
If people were to say that he previously looked like an eighty or ninety-year-old man, he now looked at most like he was in his fifties or sixties.
As for his cultivation level-
Over the years, Ma Shiqing’s cultivation had also undergone significant changes.
He had advanced from the sixth layer of the Core Formation stage to the eighth layer of the same stage.
Ma Shiqing laughed, “I joined the Star-Plucking Building during these years. With the resources supplied by the Building, I could focus on cultivation without spending lifespan and mental energy, so my situation was slightly better.”
Luo Qianyu looked at him, “Taoist Friend Ma, did you came to the Ten Lords Immortal City this time for the ruins of the Illusionary Sea Marsh?”
Ma Shiqing nodded,”The Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid is invaluable to the elders in my Star-Plucking Building. If there’s a chance to gather it, we naturally have to strive to do so.”
Su Yu “:”…”
He had roughly examined the entire ruin. Unless the ruin had other hidden treasures, the chance of getting more Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid seemed unlikely.
However, if Ma Shiqing said that the Star-Plucking Building elders needed Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid, Su Yu had a bargaining chip to use if ever needed help from the Star-Plucking Building.
Su Yu did not mention anything about the Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid, but instead looked at Ma Shiqing,”Taoist Friend Ma, are you going to the ruins of the Illusionary Sea Marsh this time?”
Ma Shiqing nodded, “I’ve been practicing in Star-Plucking Building for many years, so it’s time for me to gain some experience outside. This time it was a good opportunity, so my master brought me along.”
Su Yu frowned, “But if the ruins of the Illusionary Sea Marsh were to open again this time, I’m afraid it’s going to be quite chaotic.”
“Not only that, the Earth Immortal Mansion has sent more people here, and other Immortal Gates, other forces, have brought more powerful individuals and manpower.”
“Moreover, the appearance of traces of the Demon Clan outside, it is hard to predict what state it will be in then.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Shiqing looked at Su Yu, “So, Taoist Friend Su isn’t planning on going in this time?”
Su Yu shook his head gently and smiled bitterly, “Taoist Friend Ma knows me well. In fact, if it weren’t for my master bringing me here last time, I might still be in the Immortal Gate.”
“As for this time, my cultivation is meager, and I am only at the fourth layer of the Core Formation stage. Even if I were to go along, I would only be a burden. It would be better for me to stay here, or return to the Immortal Gate.”
At the mention of cultivation, Ma Shiqing’s gaze towards Su Yu was filled with a hint of confusion.
Fourth layer of the Core Formation stage-
This didn’t make sense.
He carefully sensed Su Yu’s energy, and indeed, he was only at the fourth layer of the Core Formation stage.
This caused Ma Shiqing to fall silent for a moment, and then he nodded, “That might be for the best. At least you won’t have to take that risk.”
Sitting next to Su Yu, Luo Qianyu had a smile on her pretty face.
She said nothing.
Although she also couldn’t understand what was going on with Su Yu’s cultivation, she didn’t believe that Su Yu’s cultivation hadn’t advanced or changed in over twenty years.
That guy, he was becoming more and more cunning.
As they chatted, Ma Shiqing mentioned the high-ranked Tier Four Land Master from the Azure Prison Immortal Palace that Su Yu and the others had previously encountered. He looked at Su Yu with slightly awed eyes, “Su Yu’s master, the venerable Tianyu, is truly extraordinary. His Formation Dao is stunning, and he even managed to break the ambush set by a high-ranked Tier Four Land Master, and counter-killed.
“Nowadays, it is widely rumored that Tianyu is the leading man among the fifth-ranked Array Masters!”
“Even my master had to acknowledge and admire venerable Tianyu’s prowess in Formation Dao after hearing about it. He is truly deserving of his reputation!”
Su Yu responded quickly, “Those are all due to my master’s strength and prestige. I am far from comparable to him, and am not even worth mentioning.”
Luo Qianyu still didn’t say anything. Other people might not know, but she certainly did.
If it wasn’t for Su Yu’s presence back then, nothing would have occurred afterwards.
However, she knew her limits. Speaking out about this would just cause trouble for Su Yu, given his current strength. Even if it was rotten in her belly, she wouldn’t let it out.
