After Gu Qianyin left, Terra Su sat cross-legged and took out a cold jade box from his body. Opening the box, it revealed the Fire Spirit Stone he had purchased at the floating auction.
“Little Celestial Fire!”
Immediately, the Celestial Fire infant jumped out and asked, “Master, what do you need me for?”
Then, it noticed the shimmering Fire Spirit Stone in the box.
“Fire Spirit Stone!”
The Celestial Fire infant cheered, its eyes blazing with excitement. It grabbed the Fire Spirit Stone and asked, “Master, is this really for me?”
“Of course, you’ve worked hard while I extracted your power.”
Terra Su smiled.
The Celestial Fire infant wasted no time, grabbing the Fire Spirit Stone and chomping down on it. In no time, it had chewed up and swallowed the entire stone.
After eating, the Celestial Fire infant’s belly began to swell rapidly, filled with pure fire attribute Spiritual Qi.
However, upon noticing its bloated belly, the Celestial Fire infant nonchalantly patted its stomach with its small hand, and the swelling gradually subsided, returning to its original state.
Then, the Celestial Fire infant let out a satisfied burp, spewing out a blazing column of fire.
All the pure fire attribute Spiritual Qi had been completely digested.
“Master, I feel like I’ve recovered two ten-thousandths of my peak power.”
The Celestial Fire infant said, spinning around in place. It looked more vibrant and seemed to have grown in size, no longer resembling a newborn but rather a one-year-old child.
Terra Su smiled and nodded as he observed it. “Not bad.”
Don’t underestimate this one-year-old-looking Celestial Fire infant. If it gets angry, even a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level expert wouldn’t be its match.
“Master, I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep now.”
The Celestial Fire infant, full and drowsy, retracted its flames and snuggled into Terra Su’s arms, shrinking down and falling into a deep sleep.
“I should cultivate too.”
Terra Su calmed his mind and sat cross-legged.
However, he wasn’t cultivating the Chaotic Immortal Records but the Great Desolation Soul Refining Scripture.
For him now, soul power and cultivation level were equally important because soul power determined the rank of an Alchemy Master. To become stronger, he needed the assistance of Elixirs.
Terra Su found cultivating the Great Desolation Soul Refining Scripture to be effortless.
The soul power in his sea of consciousness grew visibly stronger.
A day later.
Terra Su opened his eyes, his soul power having reached the level of a third-grade Alchemist.
A fifteen-year-old third-grade Alchemist—if this were known, it would shock the entire Anyang County.
However, Terra Su had no intention of getting certified by the Alchemy Guild. To him, such titles were of little use.
“Reaching the level of a third-grade Alchemist means I can cultivate that soul power technique from the Great Desolation Soul Refining Scripture.”
Terra Su valued a soul power technique from the Great Desolation Soul Refining Scripture that could directly attack an enemy’s soul. But it could only be cultivated by a third-grade Alchemist, which was why Terra Su was eager to advance.
In his previous life, although Terra Su couldn’t cultivate, he dominated the Alchemy Domain with the soul power techniques from the Great Desolation Soul Refining Scripture. Without these soul attacks, he, an Alchemy Emperor without cultivation, would have been killed countless times.
“Great Desolation Blood Moon!”
Terra Su uttered the name of the soul power technique he was about to cultivate and immediately immersed himself in intense training.
…
The next few days were calm.
On the fourth day, however, a shocking rumor spread: the Grand Elder of the Wang Family had failed to break through to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level!
Moreover, the situation was severe, causing a backlash that left him a vegetative state, beyond cure.
Initially, people were skeptical, but as more detailed information emerged, it became increasingly believable.
Then, as this news continued to ferment, another explosive piece of news broke out.
Sophia Xu, the Patriarch of South Jiang Manor, had broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level!
This immediately sparked heated discussions throughout Clear River City.
“This is a heavy blow to the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor alliance, while South Jiang Manor is rising rapidly. The balance of power seems to be shifting.”
“Clearly, the Wang Family won the Purple Flame Elixir at the floating auction, yet they failed to break through with it. Meanwhile, without any Elixir, South Jiang Manor succeeded. Truly, fate is unpredictable.”
“Have you noticed? Ever since Terra Su arrived in Clear River City, Lady Xu’s luck has been extraordinary. Not only did she establish South Jiang Manor independently, but she also broke through from the Condensing Origin Realm sixth-level to the eighth-level.”
“This must be due to Master Dust’s secret support. Terra Su and Master Dust are truly the lucky stars of South Jiang Manor.”
In South Jiang Manor.
Terra Su and Sophia Xu were having breakfast together.
Sophia Xu sighed, “Just a few days ago, Little Terra, you said the Wang Family’s Grand Elder might not succeed in breaking through to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level. I didn’t expect he would fail and even become a vegetative state. Fate is indeed mysterious.”
Terra Su smiled. He certainly wouldn’t reveal that the Grand Elder’s failure was due to his Purple Flame Elixir. Instead, he said, “The Grand Elder of the Wang Family was always up to no good. He deserved such a fate.”
Sophia Xu nodded, “Now, the Wang Family only has Joshua Wang at the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level, while we in South Jiang Manor also have someone at that level. We no longer fear their threats.”
Just then.
“Terra Su, get out here!”
A thunderous shout suddenly echoed throughout South Jiang Manor.
“Patriarch, something’s wrong!”
A servant ran in, panic-stricken.
Sophia Xu immediately stood up and asked, “What’s going on? What’s that noise outside?”
“Reporting to the Patriarch, a group of fierce-looking people suddenly arrived outside. They claim to be from the Iron Armor Gate and are demanding Young Master Su come out to pay for the deaths of their fifth and ninth elders!”
Iron Armor Gate!
A sharp light flashed in Terra Su’s eyes. It was inevitable.
“Iron Armor Gate?”
Sophia Xu looked puzzled, “Little Terra, have you had dealings with them?”
Terra Su remained calm and didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Auntie, let’s go and see.”
“Alright.”
Sophia Xu nodded and went out with Terra Su.
Before they even reached the main gate, they could hear the continuous cursing from outside.
“Terra Su, come out!”
“Terra Su, you dare kill our Iron Armor Gate’s fifth and ninth elders? We’ll tear you to pieces to avenge them!”
“That’s right, kill Terra Su and avenge the hundreds of our Iron Armor Gate members who died unjustly!”
“Terra Su, come out and face your death!”
