Everyone in the hall was struck speechless by his words, then they immediately got to their feet.
“Haha! Mo’er, you’ve returned?”
Su Hong rushed out, his face flushed with excitement. The rest of the crowd quickly followed him out of the door.
The crowd then saw a yellow-robed teenager descending from the sky above the mansion.
Those who had never met Su Mo were surprised. Only those who had entered the True Spirit Realm were able to fly through the air. Was this truly Su Mo?
Su Hong and some of the Su family elders were wide-eyed with excitement.
Even though they believed the rumors that Su Mo had defeated Jin Yang, there was still a shred of doubt in their hearts. But now that they had seen Su Mo flying through the air, that shred of disbelief had completely dissipated.
Su Mo was slightly taken aback by the crowd that milled out from the hall. Who would have thought his clan would be this lively?
“Father!” Su Mo greeted Su Hong with a bow.
“Haha! It’s so good that you’re back!”
Su Hong stepped forward with a smile and grasped Su Mo’s hands tightly, becoming slightly misty-eyed.
“I’m Zhao Cheng, the Master of the Zhaos in Greenhill City. Nice to meet you, Young Master Su Mo!”
“I’m Zheng Tong, the Master of the Zhengs in Eastone City. Nice to meet you, Young Master Su Mo!”
“Lin Sheng, nice to meet you, Young Master Su Mo!”
“…”
One by one, the guests who were visiting the Sus came forward to greet Su Mo.
“Noted!”
Su Mo nodded to the crowd, then turned to Su Hong, saying, “Father, please attend to your guests first! Let’s speak later, I’ll visit Li Feng first.”
“OK!” Su Hong said with a nod.
Su Mo turned to leave and walked toward Li Feng’s residence.
Everyone who saw Su Mo leave let out a silent sigh. They had been looking forward to this opportunity to curry favor with him, but he did not even give them the chance.
Su Mo soon arrived at Li Feng’s courtyard.
The door was ajar and Li Feng was running through his fist practice in the courtyard. However, Su Mo could see that those were just the basic movements, without the use of Genuine Qi.
Su Mo was overjoyed when he saw that Li Feng had regained movement in his limbs.
“Li Feng!” Su Mo called out as he stepped into the courtyard.
“Su Mo!”
Li Feng was thrilled by Su Mo’s arrival, and he said, “I have already heard about your achievements. You truly are a crouching dragon, finally about to fly!”
“Haha! Maybe!”
Su Mo smiled as he went over to Li Feng’s side and asked, “When did you recover?”
“Two weeks ago!”
Li Feng smiled. “I have been practicing my fistplay moves every day. I have to oil my creaky joints, or they will get rusty!”
“That’s good!”
Su Mo solemnly said, “I’ll leave for Skymoon Country tomorrow and will be training outdoors. If I manage to find a miracle treatment to restore your Elixir Field, I will definitely bring it back to you.”
Li Feng’s smile dipped slightly as he said, “Su Mo, if such a miracle treatment exists, that would be great. But if it doesn’t, you don’t need to needlessly obsess over it. I’m living well just as I am!”
Su Mo nodded, knowing that Li Feng did not wish to pressure him.
However, Su Mo was not about to give up without a fight. He might still be weak now, but once he grew more powerful, he would find a way to restore Li Feng’s Elixir Field, no matter the price.
“Are you comfortable living here?” Su Mo asked.
Li Feng replied, “Yes, Uncle Su and the Su elders have all treated me very well.”
After speaking to Li Feng for another hour, Su Mo returned to his own courtyard.
Both his room and the courtyard had been kept in pristine condition and appeared to have been cleaned regularly.
Su Mo pushed open the door to Xi’er’s room and could not help thinking of Xi’er’s pure smile as he stared at the now empty room.
“Xi’er, wait for me! After the Top-100-talent Competition, I will leave Hong Domain to search for you!” Su Mo muttered to himself.
Just then, Su Mo heard someone entering the courtyard and left to greet the visitor.
The visitor was none other than Su Hong!
He asked, “Mo’er, now that you’re back, would you like to stay for a few more days?”
Su Mo shook his head and said, “Father, I’m leaving tomorrow morning. The purpose of this trip home was just to deliver some supplies.”
A storage ring appeared in Su Mo’s hand, which he then handed to Su Hong.
“Father, this is a storage ring. It contains over 2,000 bottles of elixir, 300 excellent-grade Spiritual Herbs, and a million Lower Spiritual Stones!” said Su Mo.
“What?”
Su Hong’s hand twitched at Su Mo’s words and he almost dropped the storage ring in his hand.
“Over 2,000 bottles of elixirs?
“Over 300 excellent-grade Spiritual Herbs?
“A million Lower Spiritual Stones?”
Su Hong was struck speechless. He could not wrap his head around the idea of so many riches.
Over one million Lower Spiritual Stones! Even in his dreams, he had never seen so many Spiritual Stones!
Su Mo nodded and said, “That’s right. The ring also contains over 2,000 martial scrolls and 3,000 weapons!”
In actual fact, Su Mo had more than 6,000 martial scrolls and 8,000 weapons. Only a portion of higher grade items were selected for Su Hong.
Su Mo was planning to sell the balance later on. Although he appeared to be wealthy now, once he started purchasing Beast Souls to upgrade his Martial Soul, he would not have enough to buy them.
That was the reason why Su Mo did not hand everything over to Su Hong. Over 2,000 martial scrolls and 3,000 weapons should be enough for the Su family!
“What?”
Su Hong had not yet recovered from the earlier words, when he was again struck dumb by Su Mo’s words that followed!
“Over 2,000 martial scrolls?
“Over 3,000 weapons?”
Su Hong was completely bowled over. The Su family had been in Sunnywood City for over 200 years, and their collection of martial scrolls only numbered less than 200. Yet, Su Mo was able to produce 2,000 scrolls all at once.
Su Hong finally managed to find his voice after a while, and he exclaimed, “Mo’er, did you raid the Gale Island treasury?”
“Err!”
Su Mo laughed at those words and shook his head. Indeed, he would like to raid the Gale Island treasury, but would that even be possible?
“Father, these martial scrolls will be the foundation of the Su’s strength in the future!”
Su Mo continued, “Among the martial scrolls, you will find three Lv 3 Martial Skill scrolls. There are the two Medium Lv 3 Martial Skill scrolls, the Dragon-riding Palm and Magic Sky Leg Technique , as well as a Lower Lv 3 Cultivation Skill scroll, the Purple-dazzling Method . These three scrolls are post-archean martial arts with great power. You may first cultivate them before passing them on to the rest of the family.”
Su Hong nodded solemnly and smiled, saying, “Mo’er, it will be hard for the family not to ascend after receiving so many riches!”
Su Mo said with a smile, “That’s right! Father, I hope to see that you’ve reached the True Spirit Realm when I return next!”
Su Hong might still have been at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, but now with so many supplies, Su Mo was sure that his father would be able to enter the True Spirit Realm effortlessly within a few months.
“Father, among the over 300 Spiritual Herbs, quite a few of them are Lower Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs. These should be enough to help you get through the bottleneck of the True Spirit Realm,” Su Mo added.
“Great! Mo’er, I won’t disappoint you!”
Su Hong was all smiles and in great spirits.
That night, Su Mo shared a meal with his father and left the next morning without bidding farewell. He rushed up into the sky and flew northward.
