150: A Shocking Change for Chang'e

Su Yu completely ignored the beautiful young woman beside him, focusing on wiping the treasures on the display racks.

After he left with Moon Chang, they flew for several years before finding a massive cultivation city equipped with an ultra-long-distance teleportation array.

After several teleports, they arrived at Tianliu City, a place named after the Tianliu Prefecture and controlled by three major Sects.

One must know that an ultra-long-distance teleportation array in the Nine Spirits Realm could cover ten billion li in a single jump.

Even so, he had to teleport several times, which showed just how vast Tianliu Prefecture was.

Furthermore, these teleports were all within the boundaries of the Pingjin Region.

And Tianliu Prefecture possessed five such regions!

Not to mention the Haotian Realm or the entire Tianyuan Continent.

Tianliu City was enormous, spanning nearly a million li—comparable to a continent. A Mortal living here might not be able to walk out of it in an entire lifetime.

Upon arriving at Tianliu Prefecture, he first gathered intelligence and learned that besides the three controlling Sects, each of which was overseen by a Late Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator...

...there were also seven great families.

The Wang, Huang, Lü, Chen, Gong, Yun, and Hai families—these seven were Void Refining families.

Among them, the Wang and Huang families were the strongest, possessing Mid-stage Void Refining Cultivators.

The other five families were all in the Early Stage Void Refining.

The person who had offended Su Yu belonged to the Lü Family, one of the seven.

The Lü Family Old Ancestor was at the Peak of the Early Stage Void Refining.

At that time, he had learned that an Artifact Refining Great Master capable of refining Spirit Treasures had appeared in his territory.

Thus, he instructed his clansmen to investigate Su Yu's background. If he had no backing, they were to recruit him into the Lü Family.

After all, a Cultivator who could refine Spirit Treasures couldn't be weak.

Unexpectedly, the clansman was crippled in their very first encounter.

That clansman was an Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator; even a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator couldn't have done it so easily.

It was reasoned that he must be a Void Refining Cultivator.

Out of respect for a fellow Void Refining Cultivator, the ancestor didn't want to offend him and took the initiative to go and apologize.

But to his surprise, Su Yu completely refused to accept it.

Consequently, their Divine Thoughts clashed in the sky above the southern district of Tianliu City.

The outcome was naturally Su Yu easily crushing him. This forced him not only to apologize but also to gift Su Yu the rented Lü Family shop and several other Lü Family properties.

By this point, Su Yu could no longer hide his identity.

Fortunately, the Void Refining Cultivators from the three Sects sought him out. After his repeated promises not to interfere with the affairs of Tianliu City, they stopped bothering him.

After all, one should try their best not to offend a Late Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator if possible.

It was enough just to keep an eye on him.

He was happy with this arrangement, gaining several decades of peace.

As for Moon Chang, she completely failed to understand why Su Yu was so keen on selling Spirit Treasures and other items.

With his level of power, his path forward shouldn't be cut off; he should still have hope of breaking through the Body Integration Bottleneck.

As for the reason why, Su Yu certainly wouldn't tell her.

Even though she was very likely the Reincarnation of his own disciple.

However, the only thing that gave Su Yu a bit of a headache was that while he intended to take her in as a disciple...

...this girl didn't treat him like a master at all. Instead, she often acted as the proprietress of the Su Family Artifact Shop.

The two of them had changed their appearances and even hidden their names, so naturally, no one knew their true identities.

Therefore, everyone assumed Moon Chang was his Dao Companion.

He had flown into a rage over this before, but Moon Chang acted like a dead pig that didn't fear boiling water, making it impossible for him to actually strike her.

Additionally, because she might be Jiang Yiner, Su Yu wanted to study the worldly laws of Reincarnation through her; otherwise, he would have kicked her out long ago.

“If you're so idle, go help me watch the furnace.”

Seeing Moon Chang loitering around him, Su Yu couldn't help but rap her on the head.

“What's there to see in that furnace of yours? It's just a mid-grade spirit treasure anyway,”

Moon Chang rubbed her head, pouting in pain and speaking with total indifference.

However, Su Yu simply curled his finger silently, which immediately scared the girl into running off to check the refining furnace.

“This child has good Aptitude, and her talent for Artifact Refining far exceeds mine, but why doesn't she understand how to respect her teacher?”

Su Yu sighed as he watched Moon Chang's retreating figure as she scrambled to the furnace.

Moon Chang not only had good Aptitude—setting aside her Heavenly Spiritual Root—she also possessed a Moon Sound Spirit Physique.

Such a Physique could enhance the power of sound-based divine abilities, allowing an Early Core Formation stage Cultivator to remain undefeated against a Late Core Formation Stage opponent.

Although the effect of a spirit Physique diminished after entering the Nascent Soul stage...

...it still allowed for challenging those at higher realms.

Over these decades, Moon Chang had already cultivated to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, and she would likely be a Late Stage Cultivator before long.

Furthermore, this Moon Sound Spirit Physique was actually of great benefit to his Artifact Refining.

By injecting sound waves into the refining furnace, she could shake off certain Impurities that were difficult to melt away.

This made the quality of the Magic Treasures and Spirit Treasures ten to twenty percent stronger than before.

Most importantly, it could shorten the time required to refine Spirit Treasures and other items.

In just a few short decades, he had earned tens of billions of Spirit Stones just by selling Spirit Treasures and Magic Treasures!

The speed was incredibly fast.

Once he realized Moon Chang had such talent, he even personally taught her the methods of Artifact Refining.

This girl, on her very first attempt at refining, successfully turned Materials for a Top-grade Magical Artifact into a Magic Treasure.

Her talent for Artifact Refining was truly enough to make others die of envy.

When Su Yu first tried refining, even with the support of a Void Refining Cultivator's Divine Thought, his attempt at a Top-grade Magical Artifact was barely satisfactory.

Only after much practice was he able to refine Spirit Treasures with ease.

However, refining High Grade Spirit Treasures was somewhat difficult and still required Moon Chang's help.

Once he became proficient with High Grade Spirit Treasures, he could start trying to refine heaven-piercing spirit treasures.

It was just that Moon Chang's personality was far too different from Jiang Yiner's.

Could it be that after Reincarnation, one's personality is completely erased?

Thinking about Moon Chang's behavior over the years, Su Yu was also filled with doubt.

Su Yu only sold Spirit Treasures and other items on the first and fifteenth of every month.

The rest of the time was spent refining artifacts.

He discovered that Artifact Refining was truly profitable!

Compared to this, his previous efforts to subdue Foundation Establishment Families and create a Sect were like the antics of a clown.

In the dead of night, Su Yu was cultivating a secret technique.

Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong. For some reason, a surge of violent Spiritual Qi came from Moon Chang's room.

It was accompanied by a groan of pain.

“Oh no!”

Seeing this, Su Yu immediately performed a void shift, appearing in Moon Chang's room in an instant.

At this moment, Moon Chang's entire body was flushed red, like a boiled shrimp.

Moreover, her body was emitting scalding heat. As Su Yu approached, a heatwave rushed toward him.

Even as a Late Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator, he couldn't help but be startled.

His protective spiritual light triggered automatically, blocking the incoming heatwave.

Then, as if the burning pain was unbearable, Moon Chang began to shed her clothes one by one right in front of Su Yu.

Revealing snowy-white Peaks that rose like mountains above an icy plain.

However, this beautiful sight only flashed before Su Yu's eyes for a moment before a beam of bright moonlight enveloped Moon Chang.

It then transformed into a silver robe with moon patterns.

The scorching heat on her body was instantly extinguished.

Then, Moon Chang slowly opened her eyes, looking at Su Yu without a trace of emotion.

“Mortal, if you dare to keep staring at me, I will gouge out your eyes!”
