Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 90 Burial Ground
The first thing to consider is the energy consumption when using the energy cannon.

The farther away from Sunset Island, the more energy an attack of the same level will consume.

Furthermore, its power would be greatly reduced if it directly penetrated the sea surface and attacked the seabed.

If too much energy is consumed, hunting becomes unprofitable.

"Xiao Bei, select the second-tier sea beasts suitable for direct attack," Su You ordered.

In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the dots on the map disappeared.

"It's alright, but we can't exhaust the resources..." Su You nodded.

More than a thousand second-tier sea beasts, just selling the materials alone could fetch tens of millions of spirit stones.

If dozens of demon cores can be dug out from inside, it would be worth millions of spirit stones.

Of course, if you have your own industrial chain and can refine these materials into finished products, the profit could probably double.

Unfortunately, they were short of talent, and the Luoxia Sect had only just been established, so they had no choice but to sell this batch of materials.

Purchasing more spiritual veins will also increase the number of independent cultivators on the island.

Leasing cave dwellings is a long-term business; the longer Luoxia Island can exist, the higher the profits will be.

Continuing his decision to hunt demonic beasts, Su You summoned Chen Yuanzong and tasked him with leading the demon-attracting elixir on a solo hunt.

Although we've identified the easier-to-attack second-tier sea monsters, luring them to the surface can save some energy.

Moreover, by using the Demon-Attracting Elixir, one can also attract some low-level demonic beasts and harvest a batch of them.

Although the price isn't high, if there are enough of them, they can sell for several million spirit stones.

Su You previously sold a large number of low-level demonic beasts in the Void Heaven Immortal City, earning millions of spirit stones.

"Xiao Bei, keep a close eye on Chen Yuanzong. If any unexpected situation arises, provide remote fire support. If any third- or fourth-tier sea beasts appear during the hunt, notify me immediately," Su You instructed.

After Su You gave him detailed instructions, Chen Yuanzong set off with dozens of bottles of second-tier demon-attracting spirit liquid.

His task was simple: go directly to the area above where those second-tier sea beasts were located, release the demon-attracting liquid, and lure them to the surface.

This way, you can attract second-tier sea beasts with the least amount of alluring liquid.

At that time, Xiao Bei will remotely monitor the situation in real time and wait for the second-tier sea beast to appear before launching an attack.

Of course, while attracting second-tier sea beasts, you may also attract other lower-tier sea beasts, which you can then hunt and take away.

Although Su You does not participate in the hunting missions, he also has important tasks to complete.

The first thing to do is to repair the scanning magic array so as not to affect the operation of the wizard tower.

The second task is to refine more Tier 2 Demon-Attracting Elixir. This time, the goal is to obtain thousands of Tier 2 sea beasts, which requires at least hundreds of bottles of Demon-Attracting Elixir.

As for those third-tier sea beasts, Su You did not intend to make a move.

Firstly, the quantity is too small, and the total value is not as high as hunting second-tier sea beasts.

Secondly, there's the task of hunting high-level sea beasts, and there's also the concern of whether there are fourth-level sea beasts protecting you.

Although Su You is not afraid of ordinary fourth-tier sea beasts now, it is still better to develop in a low-key manner and accumulate more strength.

...Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mirage Realm.

"This is the eleventh time. I wonder if I'll have a chance." Su You remotely controlled the mirage demon, following a second-tier mirage dragon at a distance.

Over the years, the five mirage demons he controlled observed from the outer perimeter of the inner layer and also saw many mirage dragons coming and going.

However, second-tier mirage dragons rarely leave the inner domain; in the past six years, this has only happened ten times.

Unfortunately, there weren't any good opportunities to take action.

These second-tier mirage dragons either followed behind higher-tier mirage dragons or did not stray far from the inner domain.

After all, there is only one chance to capture a second-tier mirage dragon. Once exposed, it will be very difficult to take action again next time.

Su You could only be extremely cautious; he wouldn't make a move unless he was absolutely certain of victory.

This time, the second-tier mirage dragon is traveling alone, but it's unknown whether it will stray far from the inner region.

The second-tier mirage demon followed at a distance, not daring to use its divine sense to observe.

Fortunately, the mirage dragon moves with great force and its body is multicolored, so it can be seen from afar with the naked eye, so there is no need to worry about losing it.

"There's a chance!" Su You's face lit up with excitement as he watched the mirage dragon's path become increasingly erratic.

However, there is still a long time before we can make a move. There are quite a few sleeping mirages around here, and once they make their move, it will definitely cause a stir. So we need to wait patiently.

As the second-tier mirage dragon continued to venture deeper into the sea, the mirage demons around them gradually became fewer, while the number of white bones around them increased.

Su You controlled the mirage demon and observed the surrounding skeletons, making a vague judgment about this place: "This place is probably the burial ground for those who have mistakenly entered the mirage maze."

He found a large number of human skeletons here, as well as some decaying storage bags and magical artifacts.

"My original physical body must have fallen into this place too, and it should be decaying by now." Su You suddenly thought of his previous physical body.

My own storage ring must have fallen here too. It contains talismans worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. I wonder if I can ever get it back.

Su You continued to follow at a distance. The mirage dragon, unaware of what was happening behind it, was instead happily rummaging through the numerous skeletons.

Occasionally, it would find a storage bag, let out an excited dragon roar, and then swallow it and store it.

"Are they treasure hunting?" Su You wondered to himself.

However, it seems that there are not many treasures left here. The relics left behind by the cultivators after their deaths should have been looted long ago, leaving only some treasures of very low value or those that are relatively hidden, which could have been left here.

Regardless of what the other party is doing here, this is an excellent opportunity for Su You.

First of all, this place is very remote, probably near the outer edge of the Mirage Maze.

Secondly, there are no mirages here, so he doesn't have to worry about disturbing any mirages if he makes a move.

“However, getting this close makes it easy to spot something amiss. Luckily, I was prepared.” Su You immediately controlled one of the mirage demons to quickly detour and get in front of the mirage dragon.

Upon arriving at a place that the second-tier mirage dragon had not yet explored, Su You controlled the mirage demon to bury an array plate below, then took out a jade bottle and poured out a few drops of fragrant spiritual liquid.

"I don't know if this will work on the Mirage Dragon. If it doesn't, then we'll have to take drastic measures." Su You looked nervously in the direction of the Mirage Dragon.
