Monster materials can not only be traded at trade fairs, but can also be sold to the family clan. Although the price offered is slightly low, it is convenient and allows all transactions to be completed at once. In return, you can obtain Spirit Stones or other resources from the family clan.
Su Yu kept the flesh and blood of a middle stage, first-order Ground Rock Rat for his own use, using it to practice the Body Refinement Realm.
The beast hide and blood essence of an early stage, first-order Ground Rock Rat were sold to the family clan, in exchange for six low-grade Spirit Stones.
Time slowly passed.
After coming to the Medicine Garden, the resources Su Yu had for cultivation increased by more than several times.
He even had forty-one drops of blood essence from a mid-stage, first-order Ground Rock Rat.
It could be said that he was now ‘wealthy and ostentatious’.
With the aid of Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice, his daily cultivation of the Phoenix Tree Art only needed to be practiced for less than six hours to reach its limit.
For the practice of Body Refinement Realm, he can currently consume and refine two drops of monster essence blood per day, which gives his cultivation a qualitative leap in speed.
As the stars changed their positions, a day passed.
The next day, Su Yu woke up from his cultivation and looked attentively at the proficiency panel in front of him.
[Cultivation Techniques: Phoenix Tree Art (second level, proficiency 4.5%), Crocodile Demon 108 Forms Body Refinement Art (third level, proficiency 21.4%).]
“In one day, the proficiency of the Phoenix Tree Art can increase by 0.18%, and the proficiency of Body Refinement Art can increase by 0.82%,” Su Yu mused.
In this way, it would take a year and a half for the Phoenix Tree Art to break through to the third level.
The Body Refinement Art would take a little more than two months to break through to the fourth level.
Consuming two drops of mid-stage, first-order monster essence blood for cultivation every day made the progression speed of the Body Refinement Technique more than twice as fast as before.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a quick breakthrough in Body Refinement Technique.
Then, Su Yu tried using low-grade Spirit Stones to assist in the cultivation of the Phoenix Tree Art, which greatly increased his cultivation speed, gaining an increase of 0.28% in proficiency per day.
If he were to keep using Spirit Stones like this, he would only need about a year to break through to the third stage of Qi Refinement Art.
“If I could have Qi Refinement Pills to assist me, the training speed would be even faster. But one bottle of ten Qi Refinement Pills cost ten low-grade Spirit Stones, which is equal to one low-grade Spirit Stone per Qi Refinement Pill.”
“For those in the early stage of Qi Refinement, one Qi Refinement Pill only lasts for two to three hours. Compared to using Spirit Stones, it’s still more cost-effective to use Spirit Stones for cultivation.”
Such a pity…
Shaking his head, Su Yu couldn’t afford the pills now, let alone the occasional use of Spirit Stones for assistance in his cultivation.
He couldn’t bear the cost if he used too many.
After calculating the resources he had at hand, Su Yu spent each day focusing on his tasks at the medicine field and cultivating in an orderly manner.
Half a month later, Su Yu went out to set up five bait traps and managed to hunt three Ground Rock Rats, all first-order early-stage beasts.
Aside from keeping some meat and blood from the first-order early-stage beasts to curb his craving, all other materials were sold to the Su Family, gaining him a profit of nine low-grade Spirit Stones.
Time slowly passed.
Su Yu had been at the Medicine Garden for two months.
During these two months, the threat posed by the Ground Rock Rats in the Medicine Garden worsened, posing considerable risks to the safety of the Su Family’s Medicine Garden. Many Spiritual Medicines have been gnawed and destroyed by the Ground Rock Rats.
Even more troubling, more than a dozen common clansmen have died under the claws and teeth of the Ground Rock Rats.
This enraged the senior members of the Su Family.
They decided to eradicate the Ground Rock Rat monster group.
Soon after, Family Head Su Peng made a trip to the Medicine Garden and announced a bounty. For every hunt of a first-order early-stage Ground Rock Rat, in addition to the value of the materials, an extra reward of five low-grade Spirit Stones will be given.
For hunting a first-order mid-stage Ground Rock Rat, an extra reward of twenty low-grade Spirit Stones will be given!
And for hunting a first-order late-stage Ground Rock Rat, an extra reward of one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones will be given!
This was because the rat problem in the Medicine Garden had reached a point where, if not solved, it could lead to catastrophic damage.
If the Ground Rock Rat population were allowed to grow unchecked, even without the influence of first-order Spirit Veins, their Su family’s business of Spiritual Medicines would be adversely affected.
Whether for the medicinal garden or the first rank Spirit Vein, the Earth-Rock Rat Monster Group must be wiped out.
Su Yu was unaware of how the high-ranking members of the family viewed the potential appearance of a first rank Spirit Vein in the medicinal garden, or what preparations they might have made behind the scenes.
However, when Su Peng, the Family Head, announced the reward task, Su Yu was delighted.
In the past month, he had acted only twice, but he had hunted five first stage early phase Earth-Rock Rat monsters.
According to the current family reward, even without buying materials, he could pocket as many as twenty-five low-grade Spirit Stones.
He would be able to gather enough money for half of a low-grade Magic Artifact!
“Next, I can hunt more.” Su Yu decided, even if the family noticed his skill in hunting Earth-Rock Rats, it did not matter to him.
The family’s bounty was enough for him to risk trying.
He checked the savings he had accumulated, ten low-grade Spirit Stones.
He took them all out and bought fifty batches of lure powder materials.
By the time night fell.
When Su Yu was preparing to make some lure powder to go hunting, his seniors called him, intending to ambush in the medicinal field together to hunt Earth-Rock Rats.
“Join us, junior brother. After dinner, many have gone to the medicinal field. Some even plan to stay overnight.” The eldest, Su Minghuai, invited enthusiastically, as did the other two senior brothers.
The family’s reward had caused all the cultivators within the medicinal field to covet, it was not just Su Yu eyeing the prize.
Hearing what his senior brothers said, Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, nearly caught off guard.
If there were so many people ambushing the Earth-Rock Rats, the probability of him successfully hunting them would not be high.
It might even reveal the existence of the lure powder.
For the time being, he couldn’t go hunting in the medicinal field.
“No thank you, I think I’d rather stay here and cultivate quietly. My power isn’t very strong.” After some consideration, Su Yu decided to avoid this tide for now and wait. The Earth-Rock Rat Monster Group was not easy to deal with.
So, he respectfully declined the invitation of the senior brothers.
He turned back to continue his cultivation.
Every night for the next period, the medicinal field was buzzing with cultivators lying in wait for the Earth-Rock Rat to show up. As soon as one showed its face, it could be attacked by several, even dozens of cultivators.
This situation continued until a month later, when nearly a hundred Earth-Rock Rats had been hunted and they rarely came out. Only then did the cultivators in the medicinal field calm down a bit.
That night.
In his room.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
Su Yu emitted a blazing aura. Each breath he exhaled was as hot and red as flames.
The blood and qi in his body churned like a broad river, with thunderous sounds reverberating in his ears.
At one moment, Su Yu’s inner blood and qi reached their limit.
“Boom!”
“Roar!”
In an instant, the room was filled with a glorious blood light. Su Yu was shrouded in blood qi, looking like a vast blood sea. A giant alligator formed from the blood qi perched on his head, with terrifying, sharp teeth and claws emitting a bloody hue, dreadfully menacing.
With a roar, it shook Su Yu’s spiritual sea, while on his spiritual sea, a vague figure sat cross-legged, calmly observing this arrogant creature.
Lines of blood-colored patterns like scales emerged on the surface of Su Yu’s body. In an instant, Su Yu’s body swelled considerably.
Looking like a humanoid alligator, his aura was ferociously intimidating.
This time, Su Yu’s transformation lasted almost half an hour. The blood-colored pattern on the surface and the violent blood qi in his body slowly dissipated, and his body returned to its normal state.
When Su Yu opened his eyes and looked at the proficiency panel, the words on it had changed.
[Cultivation Technique: Crocodile Demon 108 Forms Body Refinement Realm (Fourth Layer, proficiency 0.01%)].
At the fourth layer of the Body Refinement Realm, his body and strength were no weaker than a mid-stage first order monster.
