After Su Yu returned to the city, he headed toward the Yuan family's residence.
However, after he had just taken a few steps into the city, he stopped and turned around, then went back to the outskirts and entered the wilderness.
"There is no one here, so you can come out now," Su Yu said calmly as he looked at a place in front of him.
After a moment of silence, it seemed as if no one had responded, but Su Yu continued to stare at that spot.
"Hehe, what a powerful perception! How surprising!" All of a sudden, a mass of black demonic energy shot out of the ground and condensed into a human figure.
As the black demonic energy converged, an old man wearing a black robe appeared. His eyes were dim and emitted a cold glint.
"A demonic cultivator?" Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
"I'm an outer sanctum elder of the Soul Seizing Palace. My surname is Liao. May I know your name?" Elder Liao asked.
Su Yu replied calmly, "You don't need to know my name, and I don't need to know how you managed to track me. I just want to know why you tracked me here."
Elder Liao didn't get angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I like your straightforward character. Since that's the case, I won't hide anything from you. "
"You are an intermediate alchemist, so why don't you follow me and join the Soul Seizing Palace? Only there will you be able to display your talents and obtain more benefits, "Elder Liao said.
In fact, Su Yu could join some faction to further his cultivation.
Jiuzhou had many experts, and with Su Yu's cultivation, even if he returned to the Zhenlong Clan's territory, he wouldn't be able to protect them.
If a faction was willing to accommodate him and let him cultivate, Su Yu wouldn't reject it.
As the Soul Seizing Palace was one of the eighteen factions in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands, as well as one of the most powerful demonic factions, Su Yu should join it.
However, it was a pity that he had too many grudges against the Soul Seizing Palace.
In the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion, countless geniuses from the Soul Seizing Palace had died at his hands. Even Chou Zeming, who was favored the most, had died at his hands.
If he went to the Soul Seizing Palace now, wouldn't he be sending himself into a tiger's den?
"What if I refuse?" Su Yu asked.
Elder Liao still wore a faint smile, but his gaze was ice-cold. "Then, I can only apologize and send you on your way. Rather than letting another faction get you, it would be better for me to bury you here."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu laughed. "Your Soul Seizing Palace is still as overbearing as before."
Elder Liao furrowed his brows, "Oh? From your tone, it seems like the Soul Seizing Palace has offended you before? "
Su Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It can't be considered as an offense. After all, all the people who were offended have been killed."
"Can you tell me who you are?" Elder Liao narrowed his eyes.
Su Yu revealed a playful expression: "I think you should ask about the geniuses of the Soul Seizing Palace who died in the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion, such as Chou Zeming."
If he had not mentioned Chou Zeming, it would have been fine. However, there were more than thirty Soul Seizing Palace's disciples who had died in the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion.
However, Chou Zeming had been killed by someone, and that person had even auctioned off his high-grade divine artifact dagger in front of everyone!
It was also this person who had almost killed Gu Taixu's clone, a ninth-grade fairy!
The clone of the Red Blood Palace's Elder Zi Qianchou, who was at the Level Six Fairy Realm, was directly wiped out!
Moreover, that person had a name. It was a name that was quite famous in the Soul Seizing Palace's outer sanctum — Su Yu!
"You are Su Yu!" Elder Liao's pupils contracted, and fear welled up in his heart. If it was really that Su Yu, who only possessed a seventh-grade fairy's fighting prowess, then it was unknown whether he would be a match for him!
Su Yu revealed a playful smile as he said, "Congratulations! You got it right!"
Run!
Elder Liao was shocked, and he immediately turned around to flee.
His face turned green, as he had just come here to recruit an alchemist. How could he have expected that he would end up running into such a monster?
"Hehe, you came just in time. I don't have the energy to deal with some matters, so you can take care of them for me." Su Yu revealed a smile as he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
Black clouds immediately started surging in the night sky, while a giant eye appeared in the sky.
A boundless heavenly might surged out of it, and it seemed like the eye of heaven.
Elder Liao's whole body shuddered when he was stared at by the eye. He felt like a toad that was being stared at by a snake, and he instinctively stopped moving.
As he raised his head and looked at the sky, he was overwhelmed with shock. "Heaven … Heaven's eye?"
His intuition was telling him that the eye could kill him with a single thought.
"Do you want to become my slave, or do you want to die now?" Su Yu walked over to him and spoke calmly. "You have three breaths' time to think about it."
"Slave?" Elder Liao didn't even give it a second thought.
Since he was a demonic cultivator, it seemed like he didn't care about anything other than his own life.
The cruel demonic path's environment made him realize just how precious life was.
"Fine. Relax your mind and resist it," Su Yu said.
Bitterness welled up in Elder Liao's heart, but he didn't dare to disobey him.
Su Yu took a deep breath, then used the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air technique's Soul Control Realm technique.
"Heaven's Son Gazing At Air!" Su Yu shouted in a low voice, while two mysterious soul lights shot out of his eyes and entered his opponent's soul.
In the Soul Control Realm, Su Yu could use his soul to control experts who were a whole realm higher than him. He could kill them with a single thought, as well as control their consciousness. If Su Yu didn't order him to do so, he wouldn't even know that he was being controlled.
In the Zhenlong Continent, when Su Yu was fighting many Saint Masters at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss of the Nine Underworlds, he had caused the Sixth Saint Master, who was under his control, to suddenly launch an attack and injure the Fifth Saint Master.
At that time, the Sixth Saint Master didn't even know that he was being controlled.
Unless Elder Liao managed to advance to the Divine Master Realm, he wouldn't be able to break free from Su Yu's control.
"If you are obedient, I can let you keep your consciousness, and I might even give you back your freedom. But, if you don't know what's good for you, then I can erase your consciousness and turn you into my puppet. So, if you harbor any disloyal thoughts, you should consider them carefully," Su Yu said.
Elder Liao felt a bitter taste in his mouth, as he wondered … Why did I have to run into such a freak?
"I … Well, your old servant will follow your instructions," Elder Liao said.
Su Yu nodded. He wasn't afraid that Elder Liao would find a way to break free from his control. After all, if it was that easy, then Su Yu would have to reevaluate the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air technique's value.
"You can just call me young master. Also, how many of these ingredients can you gather?" Su Yu asked as he handed over the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's recipe.
Elder Liao took it and swept his gaze over it, then raised his brows slightly. "A middle-grade recipe? No, judging from its refining conditions, it doesn't seem like a modern recipe. Could it be an ancient recipe? "
He could discern the origin of the recipe with just a single glance.
Su Yu was slightly surprised by this, and he wondered … Is Elder Liao an alchemist?
After Elder Liao recovered from his shock, he furrowed his brows and said, "Young master, the other ingredients are still acceptable, as they are quite popular even in the modern world of elixirs. But, there is one ingredient that has already gone extinct in Jiuzhou, such as the Heartbroken Zither Grass. It contains a deadly poison, and it can harm people's souls immeasurably. It's rumored that the ancient alchemists used it as a component of poisonous pills, but even in the current era, it still doesn't have any use.
Moreover, Jiuzhou's environment is different from the ancient era to the current era, so this ingredient has already gone extinct. It's impossible to find it again. "
Extinct? Su Yu furrowed his brows, as this was an excellent elixir for refining one's soul power.
"Is there not even a single one of them?" Su Yu asked.
Elder Liao shook his head. "There isn't. At least, in the past ten thousand years, no one has ever heard of such an item appearing. Moreover, even if it did appear, it would be abandoned, and no one would use it. So, it's quite difficult to find it. The only things that can be found are its seeds."
Seeds? Su Yu's heart shuddered. "Do you know where I can find seeds?"
Elder Liao was startled by this, and he wondered … What can seeds do? However, he still spoke quickly, "The Soul Seizing Palace has some of them, but young master, the current era's Vital Energy isn't the same as the ancient era's, so it's unlikely for those seeds to survive. Young master, why don't you reconsider?"
Delight flickered in Su Yu's eyes as he replied, "I don't need them. I just want the seeds. Moreover, as for the other ingredients, please try your best to find them for me."
Elder Liao opened his mouth, as seeds were easier to find than other ingredients.
This was because most medicinal ingredients only had a short period of time to mature, and if they weren't plucked in time, they would wither. However, this wasn't the case for seeds.
"I understand. Young master, should I go there now?" Elder Liao asked for Su Yu's permission.
Su Yu shook his head. "There is no need. Before I leave the Blue Mountain Range, I will be in the city, and I will come whenever you call me."
Su Yu couldn't fight for long before his internal blood energy channels recovered, so he needed help. Elder Liao's cultivation was at the Level Seven Fairy Realm, and he could be considered one of the strongest people in the Blue Mountain Range.
"Understood!"
The two of them quickly left, pretending that they didn't know each other.
A short while after they left, a handsome young man, who was clad in a white, luxurious robe, descended gracefully.
He had a jade-like face, and he was extremely handsome. His eyes were like limpid autumn waters, and they could charm countless young girls.
His tall figure and outstanding temperament made the noble young master look even more heroic.
"Heavenly might?" The young man looked at the remnant Heavenly Might in the sky, and shock appeared on his face. "Could such a small city like the Blue Mountain Range contain such a great evil power?"
Heavenly might usually appeared in places where evil people wreaked havoc, so it was quite unusual for it to appear in such a place.
"Young master, are we going directly to the Yuan family to give them the betrothal gifts?" After the young man landed, a hundred robust men followed him, each carrying a fiery red, precious betrothal gift.
The young man shook his head calmly. "Of course not. Although I followed my father's wishes and agreed to this arranged marriage, it doesn't mean that I will accept her. You should look for a place to settle down, while I make some inquiries in the city. I want to see what my fiancée's character is like."
After he spoke, the young man turned into a blur and disappeared into the city.
Su Yu, who was in the middle of flying, subconsciously looked at the outskirts of the city. His intuition told him that he had sensed a powerful aura.
Su Yu's heart shuddered. The Blue Mountain Range really had many hidden experts!
He felt like he should keep a low profile.
After he returned to the Yuan family's residence, Su Yu immediately went to the second miss's private room.
"Uncle Su, why did you leave for so long? Yingying was so worried about you. "Yuan Yingying hugged Su Yu's arm.
Su Yu smiled. After thinking for a moment, he took out a space ring and took out 3,000 crystals.
"This is your share. If you don't have enough materials to practice alchemy in the future, you won't have to worry about running out of money." Su Yu casually passed the ring to her.
Yuan Yingying was taken aback, and when she sent her soul into the ring, her eyes widened. "Wow! So much! You are even richer than me!"
