10: The Yu family surrendered, and the Xuanlei Zhanxiao Sword Technique was used.

Su Yu wasn't angry upon hearing this; instead, he was quite understanding, as it was only human nature.

It was normal to be cautious when facing a strange Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Yu Family Head, please speak."

Su Yu gestured, signaling for him to speak.

Seeing how easy-going Su Yu was, the Yu Family Head breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak.

"Senior, my Yu Family can honor you as our superior, but all these conditions are based on the premise that you cannot persecute Yu Family Cultivators or harm their interests.

Can Senior accept this?"

As the Yu Family Head spoke, he secretly watched Su Yu's expression, ready to immediately activate the Formation Flags if anything went wrong.

Su Yu didn't find it inappropriate and nodded.

Only then did the Yu Family Head dare to continue.

"If Senior gains the submission of my Yu Family, the Market Town we establish will be managed by my Yu Family. The Spirit Stones earned will be split thirty-seventy between Senior and my Yu Family. I wonder what Senior thinks?"

The Yu Family Head was under great pressure after finishing those words; in truth, these conditions weren't excessive.

The only thing that seemed excessive was challenging the dignity of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Someone with a worse temper might have flown into a rage.

After all, it was usually the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's place to negotiate with a Qi Refining Cultivator; how could a Qi Refining Cultivator dare to negotiate with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

Hearing this, Su Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who gets the thirty?"

Su Yu wasn't angry at what the Yu Family Head said, nor did he feel anything at all; his only concern was who got the seventy and who got the thirty.

"Naturally, it is my Yu Family!" The Yu Family Head still didn't dare say it was Su Yu.

However, after gaining a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to hold the fort, the Yu Family's strength had already risen to a new level!

They could even conduct many businesses they hadn't dared to before!

Even if it was only thirty percent, it would still be several times, or even ten times more than their original hundred percent!

"In that case, this seat has no objections." Su Yu nodded, agreeing to the plan.

If the Yu Family had been ungrateful, Su Yu wouldn't have minded helping them stay respectable.

Fortunately, they knew their place.

"The Yu Family, Yu Family Head, along with everyone else, pays respects to the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor!"

Only now did the Yu Family Head and the others truly submit, dropping to one knee and speaking respectfully.

"No need for such formalities. As for the planning and expansion, I'll leave that to you. This seat will only be responsible for holding down the fort. You may use my name for promotion. If there are matters you cannot resolve, then come find me!"

With a calm expression, Su Yu spoke slowly to the group.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. They didn't expect the person before them to make such a bold claim; could it be he wasn't just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

However, they didn't dare to ask and instead echoed their agreement, strictly following the Old Ancestor's decree.

But if they really provoked a powerful enemy that even Su Yu couldn't afford to offend, Su Yu wouldn't actually step in.

Instead, he would use them as a shield and flee alone.

After all, his own life was the most important.

But within his capabilities, Su Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Old Ancestor Yu, this is a small token of our Yu Family's appreciation. Please accept it!"

After the Yu Family Head dismissed the clansmen, he took out a bulging Storage Pouch from his waist and handed it to Su Yu.

Seeing how well the Yu Family Head handled things, Su Yu smiled. He took the Storage Pouch and checked it with his Divine Thought; there were over ten thousand Spirit Stones inside, likely the most the Yu Family could produce.

They probably couldn't bring out any more.

After all, they still had to provide for the clansmen's Cultivation; it was impossible to give all their Spirit Stones to Su Yu.

These ten thousand Spirit Stones were the most they could provide without hindering the clansmen's Cultivation.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones weren't enough to raise Su Yu's Realm, as buying the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation required thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

However, he could buy a Foundation Establishment stage Cultivation Technique.

He had looked at the top-tier techniques in the System Mall with envy countless times; before, they were out of reach, but now that he had money, he definitely had to buy a top-tier Cultivation Technique to Cultivate!

As for which technique, Su Yu had long since made up his mind.

Since he had come to the world of cultivation, how could he not become a sword immortal?

After gesturing for the Yu Family Head to withdraw, he immediately converted the Spirit Stones in the Storage Pouch into immortal purchase coins.

Then, he purchased a sword Dao Cultivation Technique called the "Profound Thunder Slaying Firmament Sword Art."

As soon as the technique was purchased, the Profound Thunder Slaying Firmament Sword Art turned into a streak of light and entered Su Yu's mind.

Countless bits of knowledge flashed by.

In the next moment, he instantly mastered the technique.

Although it was only at the entry level, it was enough.

To further improve this technique later, he could either Cultivate it himself or continue to buy Experience points from the System.

Feeling a powerful and surging force within his body, Su Yu's smile never faded.

At this moment, he felt that the magic power in his Dantian had increased twofold, equivalent to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Sword Intent within him was incredibly sharp, as if his very presence was the sharpest sword in the world.

Even without a Magic Treasure or Spell to rely on, Su Yu now had absolute confidence that he could fight a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator to a standstill.

Su Yu had no need for ordinary Magical Artifacts at his current Realm.

Only a Top-grade Magical Artifact would be sufficient for him, but they were also incredibly expensive; a single Top-grade Magical Artifact was worth over five thousand Spirit Stones!

Some Top-grade Magical Artifacts that could be refined into magic treasure prototypes were even worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!

They weren't something Su Yu could afford right now.

Fortunately, even without a Magical Artifact, his strength hadn't diminished.

With the Profound Thunder Slaying Firmament Sword Art, he could exert its power even by using his finger as a sword.

Just as the Yu Family Head left the Market Town Lord's Pavilion, he suddenly felt a terrifying Sword Intent emanating from within.

It felt as if it could tear through the sky and even slash through the sun and stars!

Just being near it gave him the feeling that his Divine Soul was about to be severed.

He had only encountered such a presence once before.

That was years ago when he sent his Clan Grandson to the Immortal Music Sect to join as a disciple and happened to see a Core Formation Old Ancestor flying across the sky.

Just one look had left him drenched in sweat and nearly exhausted.

Yet the person inside actually gave him a pressure similar to that Core Formation Old Ancestor; could it be that his cultivation was far beyond Foundation Establishment!

"No wonder this existence spoke so boldly; it turns out he truly possesses great ability!

He probably feared we might have some complaints in our hearts, so he simply chose to reveal his strength!"

As for why he didn't reveal his cultivation inside, it was because they were too weak; at such a close distance, they might have been directly slain by the aura of this Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator!

This aura wasn't just felt by him; everyone in the entire Yu Family Market Town felt a great terror.

Each one was panicked, thinking a Foundation Establishment expert had come to destroy the place.

Fortunately, an elder of the Yu Family stepped forward to explain, and they only then breathed a half-doubting sigh of relief.

However, they were also very curious as to why the Yu Family had suddenly gained a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, and one whose strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment!

At the same time, the Yu Family elder announced that the Yu Family Market Town would be completely expanded into a large-scale cultivation market.

Furthermore, the location was not set here, but at the Yu Family's ancestral land, atop that lone First-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein.

These words caused the expressions of many Loose Cultivators to change wildly!
