Jue looked calm. "Of course not. I heard about you, so I came here in the hope of helping you. I know the second-ranked elixir vendor, the Wutong Yard. They are willing to supply you with elixirs, but they are in urgent need of some talents. If you can help them, they will agree to reject the Heavenly Fragrance Elixir Store's request to block your supply, and they will provide you with an endless supply of elixirs at a favorable price."
Su Yu's expression did not change. "I'm just a small elixir store's shopkeeper. How can I help them?"
"It's very simple. You just need to translate this elixir recipe, and you will be able to help them." Jue took out an old elixir recipe and unfolded it in front of Su Yu.
Translate? Su Yu could not help but look over. The words on the elixir recipe were not written in the human language, but … Mu language!
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became vigilant!
The Deputy General Manager's warning appeared in his mind. Do not expose your ability to read the Mu language, or you will be killed!
He had long felt that Jue was overly enthusiastic about him, and he was suspicious. Now that he had taken out an elixir recipe in the Mu language for him to translate, it was obvious that he was trying to test whether Su Yu was proficient in the Mu language!
Su Yu did not believe that this was a coincidence!
There was a big problem with this Jue!
Su Yu's heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface. His brows furrowed, and he looked at the recipe for a long time. Then, he asked in surprise, "Senior Jue, may I ask what this is? Is it an ancient language, or some kind of symbol? How could such a strange elixir recipe exist in this world? "
As he spoke, the middle-aged man with the surname Jue was staring at Su Yu, taking in every single detail of his expression.
After ascertaining that Su Yu wasn't faking it, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows. However, it only lasted for a moment, and he revealed a regretful look. "This is just a very peculiar font. If you really don't recognize it, then I can't help you."
Su Yu looked disappointed. "It's my fault for not being knowledgeable enough. I can't blame anyone. Thank you for your help, senior."
Jue cupped his hands in greeting. "Take care of yourself. With the help of the Huang Elixir Store, I think you should be able to get through this crisis. It's getting late, and I have to go back to stand guard. Goodbye."
Su Yu got up and watched him leave the street.
Should I tell the Deputy General Manager? Su Yu thought as he stared at Jue and shook his head.
This person was extremely cautious. From the beginning to the end, he did not give himself away. There was no evidence to speak of.
Shaking his head, Su Yu returned to the back hall and continued to comprehend the Mu words left behind by Yun Yazi.
At the end of the horizon, the expression of the middle-aged man with the surname Jue became gloomy. "It seems like the Mu language expert sent by the Red Blood Palace isn't him! What a waste of my time!"
"However, if it's not him, then who is it? Could it be that Gongsun Wuxie who came from the outside sanctum to carry out a mission? "Jue changed his target from Su Yu to Gongsun Wuxie.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Yu woke up from his four-hundred-times accelerated state. After a day of arduous training, Su Yu had learned a lot of Mu words, including ten percent of the Mu words carved from the golden sand.
However, the golden sand was very messy and couldn't be arranged in any order. Although Su Yu could recognize twenty percent of them, he couldn't read them all.
If he could decipher all the words, with patience, he might be able to piece together the specific sequence of the two hundred words and unravel the secrets within.
When he was about to continue, a warm voice sounded from the door. "Shopkeeper Su, today is the auction. Did that senior meet with you?"
Two people were standing at the door. They were the two Divine Masters from the Red Blood Palace's auction house who were secretly protecting Su Yu.
"He arrived so quickly?" Su Yu's eyes lit up. The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid was crucial for him to gain merit points on this trip, and whether he could make the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid famous today was even more crucial.
After opening the door, the two Divine Masters stared at Su Yu, eager to know whether that senior had come.
"No, ever since he handed the elixir to me to handle, he has disappeared without a trace," Su Yu said.
The two of them didn't look disappointed, but just sighed softly. In fact, they had been secretly observing Su Yu's every move outside his house for the past few days, and they had already determined that no suspicious person had come looking for him. They were just hoping that they could get lucky this time.
"Forget it. Since that senior isn't willing to come, Shopkeeper Su will attend the auction on his behalf. You can also use the VIP card given to you by the cabinet master."
Su Yu nodded, then went to the Red Blood Palace's auction house while being escorted by the two men.
Today's Red Blood Palace's auction house was a little special, as everyone knew that the Central Prefecture had consigned three auction items three days ago. They were demonic beast materials, a restaurant, and an elixir. Their purpose was to embarrass the related industries of the Red Blood Palace.
He couldn't help but wonder … How humiliating would it be to use these three brand-new auction items, which possessed great advantages, to crush the confidence of the Red Blood Palace's related industries in the Red Blood Palace's auction?
If the three auction items became extremely popular, the Red Blood Palace, as a stepping stone, would be even more humiliated.
This time, the Central Prefecture's influences had deliberately chosen the auction house. Even if they didn't deliberately advertise it, many people would still come to watch the show. This was in line with their expectations, as they would be able to make their new auction items famous and quickly promote them.
The Red Blood Palace was badly battered by this, and they were exhausted from dealing with it.
If the Central Prefecture's influences succeeded, how could they continue operating in Tianya City? They would only become a joke in the future.
A tense atmosphere filled the Red Blood Palace's auction house, especially the leader of the three industries, the shopkeeper of the largest demonic beast materials shop, Lin Ming! The shopkeeper of the restaurant's largest shop, Yu Linglong! And the shopkeeper of the elixir shop, Fei Hang!
The three of them had just been severely reprimanded by the Deputy General Manager a few days ago, so it was easy to imagine how much pressure they were under right now.
It was rumored that the Deputy General Manager would personally participate in the auction today, and if their performances didn't satisfy him, the consequences would be grave!
Since the auction hadn't started yet, Su Yu wasn't brought directly to the auction venue. Instead, he went to the resting room.
This place was where all of the auction items' owners were gathered. Su Yu was the auction owner of the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid, so he naturally had to wait here.
After Su Yu entered the resting room, he quickly found the three shopkeepers, Lin Ming, Yu Linglong, and Fei Hang!
His entrance attracted the gazes of the people in the resting room. Most of them just glanced at him casually, but Fei Hang's eyes flickered as he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Su Yu chuckled. "Is it possible that my sanctum's auction house is also run by Great Shopkeeper Fei? Can't I come here without your permission? "
As he spoke, Su Yu casually found a chair and sat down. He wore a faint smile on his face and seemed quite calm.
Fei Hang's face flushed. He had already heard about the Bright Moon Householder's matter, and he was quite surprised to hear that this person was unexpectedly related to the Elixir Alliance, which had caused many elixir vendors to become restless and stop obeying his orders. Moreover, the Huang family had even given him a generous gift, which had helped to resolve the Tonglin Elixir Store's crisis.
In his eyes, Su Yu was just an insignificant person who wasn't worth mentioning. However, in order to warn the other elixir store's shopkeepers, he felt that it was necessary to punish Su Yu.
However, who would have expected that he wouldn't be able to punish Su Yu, and he would instead lose a stable elixir supplier?
What was more serious was that Su Yu had set an extremely vile example, and it was likely that more elixir store's shopkeepers would seek refuge with Su Yu and rely on his elixir suppliers to supply them with their goods.
This was the most serious matter, and it was also the one that he couldn't tolerate.
"Humph! What are you so proud of? As long as you are still in Tianya City, you will be under the jurisdiction of my Elixir Alliance. After the auction, I will settle the score with you! "Fei Hang snorted coldly.
Su Yu curled his lips disdainfully. "Do as you wish."
The only thing that the trifling Elixir Alliance could use to threaten Su Yu was the supply of elixirs. However, Su Yu would be able to produce his own supply in a few days, so why would he need to care about the Elixir Alliance's attitude? What was there to fear?
Yu Linglong and Lin Ming furrowed their brows when they saw their bickering.
As the three great shopkeepers, they were well aware of Great Shopkeeper Fei's character.
They had also heard about what had happened in the Elixir Alliance. It was rumored that Great Shopkeeper Fei had exploited the other small and middle-grade elixir stores in order to maintain the Heavenly Fragrance Elixir Store's sales. The other shopkeepers were infuriated, but they didn't dare to say anything. It was only the new Tonglin Elixir Store's shopkeeper who spoke bluntly and left on the spot, which infuriated Great Shopkeeper Fei.
Great Shopkeeper Fei's schemes were loathsome, but it was also difficult for them to accept someone like Su Yu, who offended his superior.
If Su Yu was in their line of work, he would also detest shopkeepers who didn't listen to orders. After all, how could he manage his own stores?
"Are you one of the sanctum's outer sanctum disciples?" Lin Ming sized Su Yu up, while his gaze was filled with disdain.
Su Yu's expression was calm and composed. He had already witnessed Lin Ming's attitude and tone, so he wouldn't be polite to him. "Who are you?"
Lin Ming had intended to lecture him verbally, but he ended up questioning Su Yu in an overbearing manner. Moreover, Su Yu didn't even know him, which made him lose face. So, he just snorted coldly and said, "Since you came to Tianya City, why didn't you inquire about your various industries? It seems to me that your elixir store isn't doing well."
Su Yu replied indifferently, "Hehe, it seems like it's the demonic beast materials industry that isn't doing well, isn't it?"
There were three industries that had suffered the greatest blows from the Central Prefecture, and demonic beast materials were one of them.
"Lad, how dare you!" Lin Ming's face flushed as he slapped the table and glared at Su Yu angrily.
Su Yu was calmly enjoying the fruits on the table, and he didn't even raise his eyelids as he spoke calmly, "If you want to mock someone, you must be prepared to be humiliated. Since you don't even have the slightest awareness of this, why did you open your mouth and invite humiliation upon yourself?"
Lin Ming was infuriated, and he finally understood Fei Hang's feelings. This old lad was a fearless person, and talking to him would infuriate him to death!
