"What? Even you can’t tell?"
The Middle-aged Steward was utterly horrified.
As the champion of the last Holy Spirit Competition and a rising star of the Northern Profound Domain, Fairy Jinghong’s insight and knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Yet, she couldn’t figure out what method Su Mo had used.
Fairy Jinghong said bitterly, "I only sensed him using Soul Power. Nothing else."
"What about Spiritual Qi? You didn’t sense that either?" the Middle-aged Steward pressed.
Fairy Jinghong shook her head, indicating she couldn’t sense any flow of Spiritual Qi from Su Mo.
This time, the Middle-aged Steward was stunned.
’To lift the entire Treasure Mountain using only Soul Power without any Spiritual Qi... Just how terrifying is Su Mo’s Soul Power?’
"Don’t worry. Let this old man use my Wisdom Eye to have a look. I refuse to believe I can’t see through this kid."
Li Nan’s eyes narrowed as he activated his Wisdom Eye.
Instantly, two beams of light shot out from Li Nan’s eyes and landed on Su Mo.
This Wisdom Eye was a special technique Li Nan had cultivated.
No matter what secret methods Su Mo used, a single glance from his Wisdom Eye should be able to see through them all, without exception.
However, in the next second, Li Nan was dumbfounded.
"He... he’s actually..." Li Nan said, his voice trembling.
The Middle-aged Steward asked curiously, "What about him?"
Li Nan stammered, "He’s not using any techniques at all, and moreover..."
What?
The Middle-aged Steward couldn’t help but shiver, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
’If that’s really true, then Su Mo’s Soul Power is just too frightening.’
Fairy Jinghong asked suspiciously, "Elder Linan, what else did you find? Just tell us everything, don’t make us guess."
"Exactly! If we keep guessing, this kid is going to drive us crazy," the Middle-aged Steward complained.
Because they couldn’t see through Su Mo, he and Fairy Jinghong could only make wild guesses, and they were wrong every single time.
It was too humiliating.
Li Nan took a deep breath and said, "He... is only at the Warrior Great Perfection Realm."
"Huh?" The Middle-aged Steward and Fairy Jinghong were stunned.
’Someone at the Warrior Great Perfection Realm can have such powerful Soul Power?’
What kind of joke was this?
However, Li Nan swore solemnly, "There’s no mistake. This old man’s Wisdom Eye can see through a person’s meridians. The development of his meridians is indeed only at Warrior Great Perfection. He’s not even a Martial Artist."
"This..." The Middle-aged Steward and Fairy Jinghong were completely shocked.
Meanwhile, Su Mo was considering how to count the treasures.
If he counted them all at once, he could get a total, but it would be difficult when it came to converting them into Points.
After all, each type of Treasure was worth a different amount of Points.
Suddenly, Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he said, "I can just sort them by type! It’s the simplest method, I can’t believe I almost forgot. Let’s start with the First-Grade Spiritual Medicine."
WHOOSH!
With a thought from Su Mo, all the First-Grade Spiritual Medicine fell into a corner of the plaza, piling up into a small, eight-meter-tall mountain.
Don’t underestimate this eight-meter mountain; it contained a full ten thousand five hundred stalks of Spiritual Medicine.
"Hmm? He actually identified all the First-Grade Spiritual Medicine?" Li Nan was amazed.
To accomplish such a feat, one not only needed powerful Soul Power but also extensive knowledge of Spiritual Medicine. This was not something that could be done casually.
The reason the three of them found it so troublesome was that it was very difficult to identify and categorize the different types of Spiritual Medicine in such a short amount of time.
’Such powerful Soul Power, and the ability to identify Spiritual Medicine... could it be that he’s an Alchemist?’ Li Nan guessed inwardly.
However, Su Mo’s skill in Alchemy probably wasn’t that high.
This was because this profession required years of accumulated practice, and was hundreds of times more difficult than cultivating the Martial Dao.
It was precisely for this reason that Alchemists were in such high demand, treated as honored guests by all major powers, their status transcendent.
’Su Mo is so young; he hasn’t been immersed in Alchemy for long. He can probably only distinguish between First-Grade and Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine.’
"Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine, fall!"
Following another soft shout from Su Mo, all the Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine fell, also forming a small mountain.
"Not bad. The kid really is an Alchemist. So familiar with Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine... he must be a Second-Grade Alchemist," Li Nan said with satisfaction.
However...
Su Mo’s Divine Sense stirred again. "Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine, fall!"
WHOOSH!
All the Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine landed on the ground, piling into a mountain, not a single one missed.
Li Nan said in surprise, "What? He’s actually a Third-grade Alchemist? This old man misjudged him."
’A Third-grade Alchemist this young will definitely reach the Fourth, or even Fifth and Sixth Grade in the future.’
’I have to make sure to get on his good side later.’
Fairy Jinghong murmured to herself, ’A Third-grade Alchemist? Excellent. In a few years, he’ll be Fourth or Fifth Grade. When that time comes, I must ask him to help me refine some Elixir Pills to build a good relationship.’
"Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, Fifth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, fall!"
Soon, Su Mo gave another soft shout.
Unlike the first three times, Su Mo identified two types of Spiritual Medicine at once, causing them to fall simultaneously and form two small mountains.
HISS...
Li Nan and Fairy Jinghong were both completely stupefied.
’Su Mo is a Fifth-Grade Alchemy Master?’
’How is that possible?’
’Su Mo is so young...’
All that remained were the ores, still suspended in the sky.
Most of these ores were of the same type, making them even faster to identify. Su Mo finished in less than two breaths’ time.
"First-Grade Spiritual Medicine: ten thousand five hundred stalks."
"Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine: eight thousand three hundred stalks."
"Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine: three thousand seven hundred stalks."
"Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine: one thousand one hundred thirty-five stalks."
"Fifth-Grade Spiritual Medicine: seven hundred eighty-eight stalks."
"There are five types of ores, with quantities of twenty-eight thousand six hundred pieces, thirteen thousand pieces, five thousand..."
Su Mo recited the quantities of all the Spiritual Medicine and ores with perfect clarity.
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
’He counted everything so quickly?’
’And without a single mistake.’
Wang Xuan exclaimed, "Quick, check how long he took!"
"Forty-five seconds!" his attendant replied.
What?
He sorted and counted all those things in just forty-five seconds?
Heavens, that’s way too fast.
Su Mo said calmly, "Elder Linan, I’ve finished counting the Spiritual Medicine. It only took forty-five seconds. Please hurry and calculate my Points."
"Alright, this old man will calculate it for you right away!" Li Nan said, beads of sweat on his forehead, his old face burning with shame.
The task he had found too troublesome to do, Su Mo had completed in just a few dozen seconds.
It was a resounding slap in the face.
Li Nan turned and asked, "You two, have you calculated it yet? How many Points?"
"It’s already over a hundred million," the Middle-aged Steward replied.
Over a hundred million?
Li Nan froze on the spot.
The Middle-aged Steward said, "That’s right. The ores alone are worth over forty million Points, and with all that Spiritual Medicine, the total won’t be less than a hundred million."
"The total is one hundred thirty-eight million, six hundred fifty thousand Points," Fairy Jinghong announced, having been calculating frantically.
"That... that many?" Li Nan was completely numb.
No wonder Su Mo was unwilling.
’The man earned over a hundred million Points, and you only offered him one million. Who would ever agree to that?’
Fairy Jinghong, still calculating furiously, said, "Wait, I haven’t finished calculating the remainder."
Su Mo waved his hand dismissively. "Just forget about the remainder. If you keep calculating, it’ll be too hard on you."
