Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 57 The Mysterious Man in Black Robes (Please continue reading)
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Immortal City of Emptiness.

The number of cultivators coming and going on the central street has visibly increased. With the grand auction that takes place once every ten years about to begin, it has indeed attracted many cultivators.

Su You glanced around briefly and saw that among the surrounding cultivators, at least one out of ten was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he even saw several Golden Core cultivators. He estimated that this auction would attract Nascent Soul elders.

This is already the most prestigious auction in Qingzhou. Every time the Void Heaven City Grand Auction is held, many fourth-tier treasures appear, and some of them are even coveted by Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Su You entered the Void Heaven Pavilion in the center of the street and, guided by a maid, completed the verification of his personal wealth.

"Senior, this is an invitation to a private room on the second floor. In a month, you only need to bring this invitation to the Void Heaven Pavilion, and someone will lead you to the private room on the second floor." The maid handed over a pale gold invitation with both hands.

"Okay." Su You nodded, accepted the invitation, and left immediately.

To enter a private room on the second floor, one must either possess the cultivation level of the Golden Core realm or have a net worth exceeding 500,000 spirit stones.

As for the private rooms on the third floor, they are reserved for Nascent Soul cultivators; no matter how many spirit stones you have, you can't get in.

Su You was already satisfied with having a private room on the second floor; he mainly wanted to keep a low profile.

The items he wanted to buy at the auction were all expensive, and this time he would have to spend at least several million spirit stones. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, it would be too high-profile for him to sit in the hall.

Even though Su You had changed his appearance and had the Void Heaven Pavilion provide him with a hat to conceal his appearance and block divine sense, he was still afraid that others possessed powerful detection techniques.

The safest option is a private room where only one person is present. As long as the Void Heaven Sect doesn't reveal it, no one will know the identity of the auctioneer inside.

He decided to keep a low profile at the auction, as he was only one step away from completing the Wizard Tower and couldn't afford to make a mistake on this final step.

……

After receiving the invitation to the auction, Su You returned to his cave in the Void Heaven Immortal City.

This cave is not the cave where the twin clones live, but a cave that the twin clones rented after changing their appearance.

Now that many powerful individuals have entered the Void Heaven Immortal City, it's best to be careful. The relationship between the twin clones and the main body must absolutely not be discovered.

Su You and his twin clones also changed their appearances every time they entered or left the cave, in order to minimize the possibility of being exposed.

After entering the cave, the twin clones were not inside, but they left behind two storage rings before leaving.

It includes five million spirit stones and a batch of materials worth one million spirit stones. These materials are intended to be used to offset the cost of spirit stones in case there is a shortage at the auction.

The other ring contains most of the materials for building the Wizard's Tower. The quantity is large and the materials are very complex. The twin clones have been processing these materials for the past few years.

The magic array has already been set up, so we can just bring it over and install it directly.

"Master, you are back."

After Su You took the two storage rings, Xiao Bei floated out from inside the Tower Spirit Pearl.

"Xiao Bei, scan my physical fitness," Su You commanded.

For more than two years, although Su You claimed to be enjoying life, he still spent most of his time cultivating, only his quality of life was much better.

An invisible ripple swept across, and Su You's body data was immediately projected into the air.

Su You: Early-stage Tier 1 Wizard, Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivator. Strength: 117.5 → 122.8
Agility: 89.7→90.5
Physical fitness: 109.7→113.9
Spirit: 101.2 → 103.4
Magic Power: 101 → 103 (Magic power is determined synchronously by mental power)
Cultivation power: 82 → 123
His overall physical condition has improved significantly, but his cultivation level has progressed the fastest. Because he has been using a second-tier spirit pearl to assist his cultivation, his two years of cultivation is roughly equivalent to a cultivator with three spiritual roots cultivating in a third-tier spiritual vein for more than thirty years.

However, Su You's second-tier spirit orbs are almost used up, and he can probably use them for another six months. He is still quite far from breaking through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

He had quite a few first-tier spirit beads on him, but unfortunately they were no longer of any use to cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Secondly, there's the improvement in physical strength, constitution, and other physical attributes. This isn't the result of Su You's body training, but rather thanks to his daily, unwavering dedication to expending his mental energy and channeling it into his talent fruit, which led to a significant enhancement in his innate abilities.

With his Vajra Body enhanced, his overall qualities naturally improved as well.

However, the progress in this area is still somewhat slow. To achieve a significant improvement, it would take at least several hundred years. Currently, it is still equivalent to the early stage of the third tier of body refinement.

The same applies to mental strength; relying solely on daily meditation doesn't yield particularly good results.

Fortunately, there has been good progress regarding mental potions.

For the past two years, Xiao Bei has been analyzing the properties of substances in the cultivation world. Although the process has been slowed down due to the puppet, he has still analyzed quite a few spiritual herbs.

Regarding the recipe for the apprentice-level mental energy potion, we are almost able to find all the necessary materials. However, the progress on the mental energy recipe for a first-tier wizard is relatively slow because it involves third-tier spiritual herbs from the cultivation world.

However, being able to refine an apprentice-level mental energy potion is still a huge step forward. Although Su You cannot use apprentice-level potions, his twin clones can. His mental state is still ordinary, and because he doesn't have much time to meditate, his mental energy is the same as that of cultivators at the same level.

Once the spiritual energy potion is refined, it will allow the twin clones to quickly advance to the level of a first-tier wizard.

Then, you can choose a powerful demon beast as the material for your natal witchcraft.

In the following days, Su You focused on his cultivation. Both the wizard system and the immortal cultivation system rely on daily, persistent cultivation to accumulate knowledge; there are no shortcuts to instant success.

……

A month later.

Su You left the cave and quickly headed to the Void Heaven Pavilion, as today was the day the auction would begin.

This auction will last for three days. Although most of the items on the first day will be Foundation Establishment level, Su You's own cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If a treasure with pure spiritual energy, like a spirit pearl, appears that can improve his cultivation level, he can also take it into his possession.

“Master, there is a cultivator behind you observing you with his divine sense.”

Suddenly, through the connection between their souls, Xiao Bei transmitted a message and a picture to him.

The man was a middle-aged man in a black robe. He looked straight ahead and seemed perfectly normal, but his eyes were always on Su You, and he never changed his target.

Based on Beckham's interpretation of micro-expressions, the other person was probably in a state of excitement.

and……

Xiao Bei is extremely sensitive to mental energy detection. Unless it is a Nascent Soul stage spiritual sense, it cannot escape its detection at all.

Because they were going to an auction, Su You didn't dare let Xiao Bei scan the outside world, since they might run into Nascent Soul Ancestors on the way, and it would be easy for them to be detected.

However, when others observe him with their divine senses, Xiao Bei still doesn't detect anything wrong.
