Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Going to the Giant Lizard Island, the Spy in the Dark

Su Yi thought for a while, thinking that this was the only contribution he could make to the trading firm.

Nie Ling also nodded, her eyes somewhat gloomy.

Although Su Yi was their Nie family’s ally, it was not a good thing to always trouble him.

In the branch, only Su Yi could refine high-quality pills, so she could only ask for his help. She originally thought that Su Yi would hesitate for a moment, but she did not expect him to immediately agree.

He bit the bullet and looked at Nie Ling resolutely as she suggested.

“Fellow Daoist Nie, if there’s anything I can do to help, just say it. Do you want to refine pills as soon as possible?”

Nie ling was slightly stunned when Su Yi agreed without any hesitation. Then, she shook her head.

“Why?”

He was a little puzzled. Since the matters of the branch were so urgent, why did they not seize the time to refine pills?

There was still some time before the arrival and opening of the Tiandao sect. During this period of time, they should be able to resolve the matters of the trading company.

Could it be that Nie Ling did not want to partic.i.p.ate in the Tiandao sect’s a.s.sessment grand compet.i.tion?

He was a little puzzled. That resolute and handsome face of hers was filled with bewilderment when facing her.

Unexpectedly, Nie Ling rolled her eyes at him. The corner of her mouth was slightly pursed as she spoke somewhat angrily.

“Do you think that I don’t want to? It’s just that if I want to use medicinal pills to retain my customers, I must use those foundation establishment medicinal pills that require a huge amount of consumption. In other words, the foundation establishment pill that can be used to break through a realm.”

“However, the foundation establishment pill currently lacks a type of medicinal ingredient. Under that hateful Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s obstruction, we are completely unable to purchase the key ingredient that can be used to refine the foundation establishment pill, the Thunder Bamboo.”

“Even if we did, we would only be purchasing it from the hands of some itinerant cultivators piecemeal. We simply would not be able to bear the cost of refining the pill.”

“Not to mention using it to refine high-quality pills. The cost of the medicinal ingredient would be even greater.”

Having said that, she looked at Su Yi with a helpless look, as if she was completely at her wit’s end.

“Is it just that we lack the Thunder Bamboo?”

He asked after hearing it. If it was as Nie Ling had said, and the materials needed to refine the foundation establishment pill were lacking in many areas, then he really had no other way.

But if it was just a lack of one type, then he could give it a try.

“I remember that the origin of Thunder Bamboo seems to be in the western region’s Giant Lizard Island, right?” he looked at her with a burning gaze as he asked.

The sunlight outside seemed to s.h.i.+ne on his face through the barging of the trading company, and in Nie Ling’s eyes, it appeared particularly warm and handsome.

Nie Ling could not help but look at Su Yi’s confident appearance. His chiseled face, coupled with his confident aura, actually caused her to be somewhat stupefied.

Soon, she returned to her senses. She felt that her face was somewhat hot. She suppressed her state of mind and then looked at Su Yi and said, “fellow Daoist Su, could it be that you plan to go to the Giant Lizard Island to collect materials?”

“Yes,” Su Yi replied with a determined look on his face.

However, when Nie Ling saw his expression, she already knew that Su Yi had already made up his mind. He was the kind of person who could not be pulled back even by nine cows.

After making up his mind, Nie Ling did not stop Su Yi and could only follow him. As for Su Yi, after making up his mind, he planned to go to the Giant Lizard Island in the western region the next day.

After all, he had just returned from the ruins and had not had the time to rest yet.

…

The night pa.s.sed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the next day had arrived.

After greeting Nie Ling, he stepped out of the main gate of the Nie family’s trading company branch and started walking. Although Horizon City was said to be a city at the border of the Central Plains, it still had the necessary teleportation formations.

The teleportation formations in three directions corresponded to the four cultivation mystical realms in the Central Plains. To the east was Demon Subduing Mountain, to the south was the Dark Abyss Cliff, and to the west was the Giant Lizard Island that Su Yi had never been to.

It was said that to use the teleportation formations to teleport to the periphery of the Giant Lizard Island, one had to cross a sea surface that was hundreds of meters long in order to enter the Giant Lizard Island completely.

The main ingredient of the foundation establishment pill, the Thunder Bamboo, grew on the Giant Lizard Island.

The Thunder Bamboo was called the Thunder Bamboo because on the Giant Lizard Island, hunder would fall from time to time. After the spiritual plants absorbed the power of the thunder, they would grow into the Thunder Bamboo.

On the west side of Horizon City, at a magnificent city gate.

The city gate was made of heavy boulders, and two heavy gates were opened to one side. Two rows of soldiers were guarding the gate, in case some scattered demon beasts would wander into the city and cause chaos.

Not far from the city gate was a teleportation array. The array plate was illuminated with faint array patterns, emitting a faint light. Similarly, there were also soldiers guarding outside the array.

At this moment, Su Yi’s figure slowly walked over from the main road. He was still wearing the ice flame robe.

His feet moved slightly and he quickly arrived outside the teleportation array that led to the Giant Lizard Island. He looked at the magnificent array with a faint smile on his face. Then, he strode in.

The teleportation array slowly activated, and soon, he turned into a streak of light and rushed to the horizon. Little did he know that when Su Yi walked out of the Nie family’s trading firm, someone had already set their eyes on him.

That was a common face that could not be found in the crowd for a while. At this moment, he was standing behind the wall of an attic, his eyes fixed on the place where Su Yi had left.

After his repeated confirmation, he knew that Su Yi was the person that their faction wanted to capture. After Su Yi turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon, the man with the common face closed his eyes, as if he was using the immortal destiny seal to communicate with someone.

“Master Jian, this is the seventh sword child. We have found the target. Inform the elders that the target has gone to the Giant Lizard Island.”

In a huge city far away from Horizon City, an old man suddenly opened his eyes in an attic. True essence burst out from his body, stirring up a wave of air and spilling the coffee on the table.

His eyes were absolutely cold and vicious, accompanied by the sound of a sword. He looked in the direction of the Giant Lizard Island, and his shriveled lips let out an ancient voice.

“Have you found the murderer?”

After saying that, the old man turned into a shadow and left the attic. He was on the roofs of the buildings, and he could move quickly with just a light touch. Moreover, his speed was even faster than Su Yi’s.

…

The Giant Lizard Island was near the great barren sea in the west of the Central Plain.

The entire island was bigger than the hundreds of mountains. The trees on the island were abundant, and there were all kinds of dangerous places.

However, if one wanted to reach the Giant Lizard Island, they had to cross a sea that was hundreds of meters long.

On the surface of the sea, there would be wind and waves from time to time. It was not a problem for powerful cultivators.

At this time, a stream of light cut through the sky and fell to the edge of the sea.

Su Yi, who was wearing a silver flaming white robe, walked out.
