Chapter 760: Preparation

For a hundred years, demonic cultivators began to rampage in the Yuan Yang Realm.

The Southern Wilderness Continent couldn't be said to be a disaster area, but there were also many demonic cultivators running out.

However, fortunately, the Purple Firmament Sect's strength was powerful. In the first instance, sect disciples frantically went towards the surroundings to suppress and hunt those demonic cultivators.

In the eyes of other forces, these demonic cultivators were terrifying and difficult to provoke, while in the eyes of a group of Purple Firmament Sect disciples, they were all merit.

Each and every one of them was walking merit.

Suppressing and killing them could obtain a large amount of merit. This demonic cultivator was even worth more merit than going to hunt the Demon race.

So the entire Purple Firmament Sect was boiling.

Countless disciples scrambled to go out to find demonic cultivator disciples.

"Mingye is back."

Su Mingye returned to the Business Hall and handed in the task. This time going out, he killed two Golden Core level demonic cultivators, and the merit reached a full fifty thousand or so.

Nowadays, his merit value had already reached three hundred and eighty thousand.

According to the exchange regulations of the Purple Firmament Sect's Hundred Treasures Pavilion, wanting to exchange for a Nascent Soul Pill required at least one million merit.

Three hundred and eighty thousand compared to one million didn't seem like much, but if it weren't for the appearance of demonic cultivators, it would be even more difficult for him to raise merit.

Demonic cultivator heads were valuable. He had been frantically hunting demonic cultivators these days to get so much merit, but compared to one million, he still had to work hard.

"Sixth Uncle!"

Su Mingye looked at the elder of the Business Hall and responded with a smile and a nod. The other party was considered an old man of the Su family, and his cultivation level couldn't compare to his.

But as a fourth-rank artifact refiner, his status in the Purple Firmament Sect was still very high.

"This time fifty thousand merit, it seems you kid won't take long to be able to raise one million merit."

Saying this, Su Huazheng also felt a bit of envy in his heart. Of course, looking at this junior, how could he not be very happy?

He was old. As a Su family disciple of the 'Hua' generation, he could become a Golden Core cultivator, mostly due to the support of the family elders.

The reason why the elders were willing to support him wasn't because his spirit root was very good. As a three-spirit root, it wasn't very good for the 'Hua' generation of the Su family.

The Su family's rise relied on the old clan leader and the Great Elder, while the true rise relied on the 'Qi' generation, especially that one.

Their 'Hua' generation, as well as the juniors below, could be said to have been born with golden keys.

If it were before, let alone the Su family, even in the Yunyang Sect, a three-spirit root cultivator being able to reach Foundation Establishment was already very impressive. Opening up the Purple Mansion, unless you were a direct descendant of a Golden Core ancestor, it was impossible.

He could impact the Golden Core stage because of the support of family elders, and also because he was an artifact refiner. When he was in the Purple Mansion stage, he was already a third-rank high-tier artifact refiner.

His level of artifact refining in the family was already very high, and he had the potential to impact the fourth rank, or even higher, so the family elders paid quite a price for this. He impacted the Golden Core stage three times in a row before succeeding.

Of course, he didn't live up to the expectations of the elders. After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, he studied artifact refining even more diligently. Now he was a fourth-rank mid-tier artifact refiner and had refined quite a few high-quality fourth-rank mid-tier artifacts over these years.

However, as for cultivation, now he was only at the first layer of the Golden Core stage. At this age, placed among loose cultivators, he was considered very young, but among the Golden Core cultivators of the Su family and the Purple Firmament Sect, that didn't count for anything, let alone compared to the one in front of him.

This family junior in front of him was only a little over two hundred, and he was already at the fifth layer of the Golden Core stage. Looking at his cultivation, he would be able to break through to the sixth layer of the Golden Core stage soon.

And he was only at the first layer of the Golden Core stage. Su Huazheng knew very well that compared to the other party, except for some advantages in artifact refining, his status was far inferior.

After all, he had no potential anymore. Even if he could raise his artifact refining level to the fourth-rank high-tier, so what? He had no chance to impact the Nascent Soul stage.

He also had self-knowledge. Impacting the Golden Core stage had already consumed three opportunities. After reaching the Golden Core stage, his cultivation speed would be even slower.

Four hundred years, theoretically, he had a chance to reach the ninth layer of the Golden Core stage, but even if he reached the ninth layer of the Golden Core stage, so what? At that time, he would probably already be in his twilight years, and the chance would be even smaller.

At that time, the family elders would probably not support him as they did before.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Supporting a Golden Core and supporting an impact on the Nascent Soul stage were simply not the same thing.

Supporting an impact on the Golden Core stage, the spirit stones and merit required, for several family elders, weren't considered difficult things.

But supporting an impact on the Nascent Soul stage was different.

Unless that Ninth Uncle made a move personally.

But was it possible?

It was simply impossible. That Ninth Uncle hadn't appeared for a long time. The last time he appeared was when Su Mingye impacted the Golden Core stage, and the other party appeared in the mountain gate.

In the last two or three hundred years, that Ninth Uncle had only appeared a few times.

His relationship with that Ninth Uncle wasn't close at all.

In fact, among the family juniors, except for a few of the 'Hua' generation, many later ones hadn't seen that mysterious Ninth Uncle.

Even him, he hadn't met the other party alone at all.

Only Su Mingye had this honor, so Su Mingye's status among the Su family disciples was unrivaled.

Although he had no chance to impact the Nascent Soul stage, Su Huazheng didn't have any dissatisfaction. Being able to reach the Golden Core stage, he was already very satisfied.

Not counting the Purple Firmament Sect, in the entire Su family, the number of cultivators who truly reached the Golden Core stage, all told, was only eight. Being able to become one of them, it could be said that it was already a very honorable thing.

What dissatisfaction could he have?

"Little Nine, you are back this time, are you going out again?"

After recording the other party's task in the file and drawing the merit points, Su Huazheng asked.

"Sixth Uncle, I'm not going out for the time being. It just so happens that this battle made me feel that the bottleneck is a bit loose. I'm preparing to retreat and see if I can break through the bottleneck in one go and reach the sixth layer of the Golden Core stage."

For this Sixth Uncle of the family, Su Mingye had nothing to hide.

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing Su Mingye's words, Su Huazheng was immediately very happy.

The Purple Firmament Sect had dozens of Golden Core cultivators, and their Su family had eight Golden Core cultivators, which could be said to be the undisputed number one family.

But unfortunately, for the Nascent Soul stage, except for that mysterious Ninth Uncle, there was none.

This was a regret for the Su family. Over these years, the family had also tried every means to want to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But for the Su family, the time of their rise was truly too far away. Nowadays, the oldest old clan leader of the family, Su Wanjun, was only about five hundred years old.

As for cultivation, he had reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core stage, which was also the strongest in the Su family, but it was still a bit far from the Golden Core peak.

And this kid in front of him might surpass the old clan leader in the future and become the first family junior to impact the Nascent Soul stage.

It was precisely because of this that the family also began to make preparations for him.

He knew that the old clan leader and the Great Elder had long since made preparations for this child, and even that mysterious Ninth Uncle would make a move. ===== CHAPTER 761 =====
