Chapter 174: 101 Promotion to Second Level High Class Talisman Master (11K Subscription Required)_3
At most a few dozen.
However, dealing with him—
They may be faced with dozens to start with, or even up to hundreds of second-order superior talismans!
As he becomes even more adept as a talisman artist, he could reach a success rate of drawing talismans of seventy, eighty or even ninety percent. It’s simply too terrifying.
Ordinary second-order superior talisman artists just can’t compete.
Storing this talisman into his Qiankun Bag, Su Yu crosses his legs and starts to recover his mana and vitality with the Earth and Wood technique.
With his current mana as a fourth layer Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, even though his mana is much more substantial compared to ordinary cultivators at the same level, it nearly drains all his wood-attributed mana just to create a second-order superior talisman.
His vitality is still fine, as his soul and Divine Sense are quite robust. He should be able to continue drawing one or two more talismans, but he lacks the necessary mana to support it.
Almost two hours later, Su Yu stands up to draw the Wood Spirit Devouring
God Talisman again but fails this time.
As the days quickly pass, these ten days—
After exhausting thirty sets of second-order superior talisman materials, Su Yu has marginally improved the success rate of the Wood Spirit Devouring God Talisman. Out of thirty sets of materials, he successfully drew five Wood Spirit Devouring God Talismans.
This improvement is unexpectedly fast, with proficiency skyrocketing to over 16%.
The strength of his Divine Sense adds a significant boost to Su Yu’s talisman technique.
After leaving the Dark Moon Market, Taoist Xiuyu returns ten days later. When he arrives at the courtyard, he looks at Su Yu in surprise and says, “I came back to find that Taoist Friend Su has become a second-order superior talisman artist, that news gave me quite a shock.”
How long had it been!!!
He had just broken through to the fourth layer of the Foundation
Establishment Realm for less than a year and already became a second-order superior talisman artist. His talent in talisman drawing is too terrific!
“It was just a stroke of luck. Pure luck.” Su Yu modestly replies.
Then, without waiting for Taoist Xiuyu to respond, Su Yu asks, “How about the beast-attracting powder? Was it useful?”
Taoist Xiuyu grins as he watches him change the topic, thinking that Taoist Friend Su is quite engaging. He quietly mulls it over, feeling that Su Yu is definitely hiding something — be it his strength, techniques, or trump cards.
Having interacted with Su Yu for a while now, he has a decent understanding of his character.
Such a person would never completely expose themselves.
Then, driven by the instinct of being an information dealer, Taoist Xiuyu begins to analyze all the known information about Su Yu and speculate about the potential strategies and trump cards he may have hidden.
This kind of information speculation is a kind of pleasure that ordinary people wouldn’t understand for Taoist Xiuyu.
He enjoys thoroughly understanding a person and then witnessing their astonished expression. That feeling is quite satisfying.
Though various thoughts are swirling through his mind, Taoist Xiuyu says, eternally stated the Inner Market.
“The first batch of beast-attracting powder has already been distributed to the cultivators of various factions to set traps and kill the Earth Rock Rats.”
“After just a couple of days, the Earth Rock Rats outside have been almost completely exterminated.”
“If we continue killing them for a while, I believe the next time the beast tide comes, we would be rid of these pesky Earth Rock Rats.”
While he speaks, Taoist Xiuyu looks at Su Yu and shares a regretful sentiment, “It’s a pity. If this stuff could attract other magical beasts, we might have been able to disperse this beast tide.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu shakes his head and replies, “It’s difficult. Different magical beasts have different habits and preferences. The same medicine would be hard-pressed to deal with so many different magical beasts.” “Besides, there are many other factors that come into play, such as strength, size, environment, and others.”
“This beast-attracting powder was developed by our Su Family by chance.”
After they chat for a while,
Taoist Xiuyu asks, “Taoist Friend Su, how’s your success rate with second-order superior talismans now?”
Su Yu responds, “I can only draw the Wood Spirit Devouring God Talisman at the moment. As for the success rate—I’
Instinctively, Su Yu wants to say it’s quite poor. But then he realizes that others can detect the movements involved in drawing a second-order superior talisman, and the nearby Heavenly Market Hall would not be fooled by such a claim.
After contemplating for a moment, Su Yu smiles and says, “It’s just passable. I guess I have around a ten percent success rate.”
Taoist Xiuyu ponders for a moment and then proposes, “In that case, what if my Heavenly Market Hall supplies the materials for you to draw the talismans? However, if there are any successful products, they must be given to the
Heavenly Market Hall at no cost. What do you say?”
Startled, Su Yu replies,
“This!”
Does the Heavenly Market Hall dare to take such a big risk!?
I’m just a novice second-order superior talisman artist; aren’t they afraid they’ll lose out by giving me the materials?
This is like handing over materials for me to practice!
Taoist Xiuyu smiles and says, “I have faith in your talent, Taoist Friend Su. I hope that in the future, if the Heavenly Market Hall needs second-order superior talismans, you can give us some preferential treatment.”
This is an investment. The Heavenly Market Hall has been able to stand tall in the Dark Moon Market for many years and gather information from all parties. These are all closely related to their good relations with various genius talents. For instance, investing in ten distinguished guest tokens for the Heavenly Market Hall, arranging for Su Yu and his family to enter the Inner Market, and now investing in some second-order superior talisman materials for Su Yu to practice.
All of these are his investments in Su Yu.
The subject here is him, not the Heavenly Market Hall.
Of course, this difference doesn’t really matter. It simply means that other people from the Heavenly Market Hall won’t get involved with the people he invested in..
