Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 48 Activation and Awakening (Please continue reading)

After confirming that the Mirage Spirit Pearl on the Mirage Demon was the item he needed, Su You quickly stored the entire Mirage Demon into his storage ring.

The most precious thing on the mirage demon is the mirage spirit pearl. However, the shells on its body are incredibly hard and also have considerable value, but unfortunately, many of them have been damaged.

As for the mirage flesh, it does have some value, after all, it is the flesh of the late third stage. It's just a pity that mirage demons are among the smaller demon beasts. If it were a huge creature like the Black Water Serpent, the value of this flesh would be much higher.

After Su You collected the mirage demon's flesh and blood, Yu Tian and Luo Nan arrived from above.

Seeing the blood flowing around them and the smile on Su You's face, the outcome was obvious.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Su, on successfully hunting down this third-tier mirage demon," Ronan congratulated.

"I must thank you both for your help this time. If you hadn't broken through the mirage demon's armor, I would have had a hard time killing it," Su You said with a smile. "Now that we've successfully hunted the demon, I'll be the host again tonight. We'll drink until we drop at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

"Since you are so kind as to accept my invitation, then I will not stand on ceremony."

The three returned to Yuxi Island together, and Su You also invited Xiao Qingyan along, since he had introduced the two Golden Core cultivators. Without their introduction, he might not have been able to kill the mirage demon.

After the guests had enjoyed themselves, the two Golden Core cultivators did not linger and returned to their island.

……

Outside of Yuxi Island.

Ronan's eyes flickered as he looked at Jade Creek Island, muttering, "Who exactly is this person? He has the cultivation of a third-tier body refinement expert, possesses a large number of spirit stones, and can even casually produce a third-tier top-grade spirit talisman, and moreover..."

Yu Tian is a sword cultivator with a straightforward mind. He may not have thought things through too much, but he observed carefully during the battle.

Su You was not fooled by the mirage demon's illusion. In fact, during the final battle, he saw through the mirage demon's illusion, an illusion that even they needed time to see through, yet it had no effect on Su You at all.

However, this person possesses a very powerful secret treasure that can counteract illusions.

As for Su You's ability to use a top-grade third-tier spirit talisman, he didn't think too much about it.

The world of cultivation is full of secret techniques, and he never expected that Su You would have such a strong divine sense. After all, Su You is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and body refinement cannot improve divine sense. Therefore, even if he cultivates techniques for divine sense, he could not possibly have a divine sense comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

“Illusion… If we can obtain that treasure, perhaps we can explore that ruin.” Ronan muttered to himself. “Invite him to explore with me? No, that won’t do! That ruin is very likely left behind by that sect. If it’s exposed…”

He didn't believe in any contracts or oaths, and given the preciousness of that ruin, if it were leaked, he wouldn't be able to protect it at all.

After spending half a day outside Yuxi Island, Ronan quickly left.

After killing the mirage demon and returning to Yuxi Island, the oath of the inner demon would have ended, and if he wanted to make a move, he could do so directly.

However, considering the talisman in Su You's hand, the Crimson Flame Raven True Form Talisman had not been completely used up in the previous battle, and Su You had also used several third-tier talismans during the battle.

He couldn't be sure if the other party possessed an equally powerful life-saving talisman.

If he cannot kill the enemy in one blow, then the price will be unbearable. If the other side sends even a Nascent Soul expert, he will not be able to withstand it.

"No rush, no rush, this matter needs careful consideration. However, I don't have much time left..."

Ronan looks young, but because he cultivates water-attribute techniques, he has the ability to maintain his youthful appearance. In reality, he is already 630 years old. Although it is said that a Golden Core cultivator has a lifespan of 800 years, that is under extreme conditions. Generally, even if a Golden Core cultivator is in good health, he can live for a maximum of 750 years.

If there are hidden injuries in the body, then lifespan will be even shorter.

Ronan had faced several life-or-death crises several hundred years ago. Although he managed to escape, he was severely injured and his lifespan was shorter than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, only six hundred and fifty years.

This is why he said he didn't have much time left; if he couldn't break through to the Nascent Soul realm within twenty years, he would die from exhaustion of his lifespan.

……

Yuxi Island.

Su You stayed on Yuxi Island for two days. After carefully checking his own body and the mirage demon and finding nothing abnormal, he changed his appearance, suppressed his cultivation level, and then boarded the flying boat from Chiqing Islands to Xutian Immortal City.

As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others, especially since Su You had displayed a great deal of wealth in front of those two Golden Core cultivators.

Now that the oath of inner demons has ended, he is not sure if the other party will be tempted by money. Although Su You had used some pretexts in previous exchanges to indicate the elders behind him.

However, faced with the temptation of money, Su You couldn't guarantee that the other party didn't have other intentions.

In the world of cultivation, money plays an even more extensive role. It can be used to purchase all kinds of rare and precious materials, elixirs and medicines, to improve cultivation and extend lifespan. This is a temptation that many people find hard to resist.

……

half a month later.

No. 35, Liusu Lane, Xutian Immortal City.

Su You returned to his cave dwelling without any problems.

"Now we need to set up the magic array to activate the Mirage Spirit Pearl," Su You said excitedly.

Now, everything is ready to build the Wizard Tower; all that's needed is the right spiritual vein and the right array.

The once-in-a-decade auction in the Void Heaven Immortal City is about to begin in three years, and he will definitely be able to find a suitable formation by then.

Moreover, even if the Wizard Tower is not yet built, Su You can still activate the Mirage Spirit Orb. As long as the tower spirit is successfully created, the research on the wizard array will definitely be faster, and some simple physical property analysis can also begin in advance.

The Activation Spirit Awakening Witchcraft Array was the first witchcraft array that the twin clones began to comprehend. They had already fully mastered it three years ago, and now it was finally coming in handy.

The twin clones took out a blue stone slab from their storage rings.

This is a third-order material that greatly enhances energy conduction.

The twin clones inscribed the activation array on it, which, once activated, can provide more energy in a short period of time, allowing the magic array to produce better effects.

Su You took out the Mirage Spirit Pearl and placed it in the center of the witch array. He focused his spiritual energy on the array and said, "Activate!"

As he activated the magic array, it was as if a valve had been opened, and the surrounding spiritual energy was rapidly gathered and continuously drawn by the magic array, constantly washing over the Mirage Spirit Pearl.
