153: People from Tianliu City

The treasures Su Yu gave were all natural spirit items that had some miraculous effects for advancing to the Body Integration stage; their prices weren't high, and they were worthless in the System.

However, they were much more valuable in the outside world. Even if some were damaged, losing about one-fifth of their effectiveness,

they could still be sold for their original market price, or even higher.

These items had cost Su Yu nearly eighty billion Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, he specifically instructed his external incarnation to travel to several more prefectures to distribute the goods.

Combined with Su Yu's Art of Heavenly Secrets, it was enough to shield against the divinations of most Body Integration Stage Cultivators; as long as he was careful, nothing would go wrong.

He believed that no Body Integration Great Expert skilled in heavenly secrets would risk suffering a backlash from the heavens just to divine the location of an external incarnation for such small gains.

Just in case, however, Su Yu's previously prepared trump cards included treasures that prevented prying eyes from the heavenly secrets.

Next, Su Yu simply had to wait to collect the Spirit Stones.

Once everything was ready, the external incarnation bid Su Yu farewell and headed for Luoyun Prefecture, the closest one to Tianliu Prefecture... "You go too far! Fairy Moon Chang, do you really want to fight to the death? I, Thunderbolt Hand Ai Kun, am not one to be trifled with!"

Beixiao Mountains.

At this moment, a beautiful woman stood suspended in the air, holding a pipa. Her eyes held a trace of coldness as she looked at the middle-aged man before her.

The middle-aged man's face clearly showed a hint of terror; he seemed very afraid of this beautiful woman.

Although his words were full of warnings, he appeared to be putting on a brave front while being weak inside.

The beautiful woman was none other than Moon Chang.

Since she successfully achieved Soul Transformation thirty years ago, she couldn't bear to stay by Su Yu's side.

So, Su Yu simply let her go out to gain experience.

With the power of her Lunar Sound Spirit Body, she could remain undefeated against a Mid-Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator even at the Early Stage.

Facing a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, she could also escape with ease.

Coupled with the treasures Su Yu had given her, she even had the power to protect herself if a Void Refining Cultivator took action.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Moon Chang couldn't help but laugh.

Then, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. The mid-grade spirit treasure, the Lunar Sound Pipa in her hand, quickly plucked out a bright moon that pressed down toward the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned ferocious. He opened his mouth and spat out a Scarlet Flame Long Spear that shot forth.

The Scarlet Flame Long Spear transformed into a fire dragon, opening its bloody maw to bite fiercely at the incoming bright moon.

However, the fire dragon seemed to have underestimated the bright moon's power; its teeth were actually shattered by the moon.

Then the fire dragon was sent flying back, reverting into the Scarlet Flame Long Spear.

The exchange between the two lasted only an instant, and Moon Chang had already established an overwhelming advantage over the middle-aged man.

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to use any other Divine Abilities, Moon Chang plucked the pipa again.

A blast of frigid Qi swept through the air, instantly freezing the middle-aged man solid.

Seeing this, Moon Chang released a bronze treasure cauldron and collected him inside.

This person was an evil Cultivator from the Beixiao Mountains who specialized in killing others for their treasures and performing blood sacrifices on low-level Cultivators.

He had been wanted by Tianliu City for many years and had never been captured.

Yet, he was easily taken down by Moon Chang.

Moon Chang had also gained great fame in Tianliu City by relying on the rewards for capturing evil Cultivators.

However, because Su Yu had her change her identity, no one knew she was the beautiful young woman who stayed by Su Yu's side.

Instead, she presented herself as Su Yu's Disciple.

Consequently, no one dared to look down on her.

After all, Su Yu's reputation was simply too great.

Any Void Refining Cultivator near Tianliu City knew of Su Yu's name.

Now that Su Yu could refine heaven-piercing spirit treasures, these people wouldn't dream of offending his Disciple.

They practically wanted to worship her.

Nowadays, the number of people begging Su Yu to refine Spirit Treasures was countless.

To put it exaggeratedly, the line of Void Refinement Stage Cultivators could stretch from Tianliu Prefecture to Luoyun Prefecture.

Not to mention, the three major Sects had also approached Su Yu to custom-make three heaven-piercing spirit treasures.

Unless they were incredibly stupid, no Void Refining Cultivator would easily offend Su Yu.

In recent years, Su Yu had earned quite a lot of Spirit Stones by refining Spirit Treasures, but the cost of high-grade Spirit Treasures was too high.

As for low-grade treasures, the market was already saturated.

Su Yu could only rely on heaven-piercing spirit treasures to earn Spirit Stones.

For one heaven-piercing spirit treasure, the three Sects not only provided two sets of Materials but also had to pay Su Yu a fee of ten billion Spirit Stones.

Because they were custom-made, Su Yu couldn't just buy a heaven-piercing spirit treasure from the System to swap it out.

But as long as nothing went wrong during the refining process, he could save one or two of those six sets of Materials.

Even including the eighty billion Spirit Stones worth of natural spirit items he gave his external incarnation to sell,

it wouldn't be long before he had enough Spirit Stones to advance to the Body Integration stage.

This was because the natural spirit items with the external incarnation were almost all sold out.

He should be back in a few more decades.

And the profit this time would be at least no less than one hundred and twenty billion Spirit Stones.

This was even faster than killing people for their treasures; a net profit of forty billion Spirit Stones in a few decades, and the risk wasn't high.

After all, in recent years, Cultivators who killed for treasure were almost universally despised in the Human Race.

Once discovered, they would almost always be besieged by several Cultivators of the same rank.

The returns were poor, and the risks were high.

It was better to leave the Human Race's territory and head to the Desolate Abyss to search for treasures.

"You're back? Who did you catch this time?"

Suddenly, Su Yu, who was watching his furnace, opened his eyes and spoke calmly.

"Good Revered Master, your spiritual senses are getting sharper and sharper. You didn't even use your Divine Thought, yet you could detect my presence immediately. Are you about to advance to Body Integration?"

In a nearby empty space, there was a sudden ripple, and a moment later, a figure appeared in the Artifact Refining room.

It was none other than Moon Chang.

Moon Chang had returned immediately after turning in her mission.

After all, she hadn't forgotten that Su Yu had promised to upgrade her natal Spirit Treasure from a low-grade spirit treasure to a mid-grade spirit treasure.

"I won't forget you, girl."

Su Yu picked up a chestnut from the side and tossed it over.

Moon Chang saw it coming and tried to dodge, but no matter how she moved, the chestnut still hit her on the head.

Moon Chang rubbed her head in pain, two teardrops hanging in her eyes.

"You said you wouldn't hit me! How can a great Void Refining Cultivator like you break your word?"

Moon Chang trotted over to Su Yu's side and spoke huffily.

"I'm used to it. After all, I can only stay here and help people refine Spirit Treasures now. I'm not like you, who can go wherever you want.

So I can only tease you for fun."

Su Yu's current pleasure was teasing Moon Chang.

To be honest, while the girl seemed quite smart, she could also be quite silly at times.

"Dreadful old man!"

Hearing this, Moon Chang could only wave her hands at Su Yu resentfully, but when Su Yu picked up another chestnut, she immediately gave a sheepish and innocent smile.

"By the way, Revered Master, I heard that some big shots are coming to Tianliu City soon, apparently from other prefectures.

I heard at the City Lord's Mansion that people from other prefectures want to join forces with the three major Sects to do business, intending to create a merchant alliance in the Haotian Northern Border.

With your Artifact Refining skills, Revered Master, you might even be invited to be an enshrined elder!"

After their playfulness, Moon Chang brought up the serious matter.

After all, her Revered Master was a money-grubber who would light up at the sight of Spirit Stones.

In all these years, except for that person surnamed Han, no one else had been able to take advantage of her Revered Master.

This matter was definitely a good thing for her Revered Master.

She was already waiting for Su Yu's praise.

However, Su Yu's next words left her dumbfounded!
