Hearing this, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched violently.
’Fight Su Mo again?’
’Unless we’ve gone crazy.’
’We’d have to be out of our minds!’
The white-haired old man trembled and said, "Since Elder Su doesn’t wish to kill us, we’ll be taking our leave. Elder Su, perhaps we’ll meet again if fate allows."
"Go on!"
Su Mo waved his hand.
The men scrambled to their feet and fled, terrified Su Mo would change his mind and swat them dead.
Even their Sect Leader was dead.
Though they said they’d meet again, in their hearts they swore they never wanted to see Su Mo again for the rest of their lives.
"Elder, we’ve finished collecting everything."
The Ink Flood Dragon ran over to report, "This time, we’ve collected a total of over ten thousand Cultivation Techniques, three billion regular Spirit Stones, five million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, and several dozen Upper-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Upper-Grade Spirit Stones?"
Su Mo said in surprise.
The Ink Flood Dragon nodded. "That’s right. One Upper-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, and one Middle-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one million regular Spirit Stones. In short, we’re rich."
"Excellent, excellent!"
Su Mo smiled in satisfaction.
A few dozen Upper-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to tens of billions of regular Spirit Stones. The haul was incredibly bountiful.
The Ink Flood Dragon continued, "In addition to that, there are eight Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers, one hundred thirty-five Tier Five Spiritual Soldiers, over three hundred Tier Four Spiritual Soldiers, and countless other Spiritual Soldiers of lower tiers."
"Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers! Those are weapons that only Martial Kings are qualified to use."
"Heh, even low-Realm Martial Kings aren’t qualified."
"No matter how you slice it, we’ve struck it rich this time."
Everyone’s face was flushed with excitement.
Even Su Mo was a little dazzled.
This was the accumulated wealth of a Sect over several hundred years, and they had cleaned it out in one go. Anyone would be thrilled.
"Elder Su, you should take those eight Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers for your own protection,"
the Desolate Old Monster suggested.
Su Mo waved his hand, refusing. "My physical body is harder than a Tier Six Spiritual Soldier. They’d be useless to me—more of a burden than anything."
Hearing this, the Desolate Old Monster was instantly embarrassed.
Things that were priceless treasures to him were all worthless scraps to Su Mo.
"You all can split those Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers among yourselves,"
Su Mo said lightly.
What?
’Split the Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers?’
The Desolate Old Monster was overwhelmed by the favor. "Alliance Leader, while these Tier Six Spiritual Soldiers may be useless to you, sir, they are priceless treasures to ordinary people! Are you sure you want to bestow them upon us?"
"Elder Su, please reconsider,"
Huang Xu urged.
Su Mo said nonchalantly, "No matter how precious a treasure is, if no one uses it, it’s just scrap metal—not even as good as a fire poker. Go on, split them up."
"Yes, Elder Su!"
The Desolate Old Monster and the others instantly divided the eight Spiritual Soldiers.
"With this Tier Six hammer, I can now fight on par with a Martial Monarch Great Perfection expert."
"Hehe, I can also contend with a Martial Monarch Perfection."
"Following Elder Su is really the path to a great future. To think he’d just give away treasures of this level... I can hardly believe it."
The Desolate Old Monster, Huang Xu, and the others were overcome with excitement.
Just then, Xiao Lang ran over and asked, "Young Master, could I have a Tier Five Spiritual Soldier for protection?"
"Young Master, I want one too."
"Me too!"
A group of Xiao Family disciples all crowded around.
Su Mo said to the Ink Flood Dragon, "Take them out. Let them choose."
CLATTER!
With a casual wave, the Ink Flood Dragon dumped all the Tier Five Spiritual Soldiers on the ground.
Everyone scrambled madly to grab a Spiritual Soldier.
Xiao Dong came running from the distance, carrying a pig on his shoulder. "Wait, what about me! I want a Tier Five Spiritual Soldier too!"
"Why did you bring their pig back?"
Su Mo asked, dumbfounded.
Xiao Dong explained, "Young Master, you probably don’t know this, but those guys from the Profound Celestial Sect are ridiculously extravagant. They actually fed these pigs Spirit Grass until they became Spirit Pigs."
"Spirit Pigs?"
Su Mo said, astonished.
Chu Tianxiong stroked his chin and said, "According to the Secret Techniques passed down in my Beast Taming Sect, if you use Spirit Grass to feed pigs, you can indeed turn ordinary pigs into Spirit Pigs."
Su Mo sighed in amazement.
’Holy hell, just how much Spirit Grass would you have to feed an ordinary pig to turn it into a Spirit Pig?’
"Young Master, I’m here!"
A short while later, Xiao Wan came running over, covered in dust and grime, carrying a wooden beam on her shoulder.
Xiao Dong said with a pained expression, "Didn’t I tell you not to tear down those buildings? Why did you go and do it anyway?"
"Grandmaster Huang told me to."
Xiao Wan said, pointing at Huang Xu.
Huang Xu said awkwardly, "This lumber is all high-quality Spiritual Materials. It can not only be used to build houses but also serve as Array Bases for setting up a Grand Array, so..."
"Even so, you shouldn’t have let little Wan do it!"
Su Mo said, speechless.
’Xiao Wan is just a seven or eight-year-old girl. You’re teaching her to demolish houses? Have you no sense of decency?’
Cold sweat streamed down Huang Xu’s back. "Th-that... I told the White Elephant Demon King to do the demolition. I don’t know how Miss Wan got involved. But these Spiritual Materials are indeed very useful."
"Fine. Since they’re useful, take them all back. But next time, have your disciple do it. Don’t send little Wan again. What if the house collapsed while she was in the middle of tearing it down?" Su Mo grumbled.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Elder Huang wiped away his cold sweat and quickly had his disciple take the Spiritual Materials from Xiao Wan’s shoulder.
"Young Master, can I have a Spiritual Soldier too? I’m already at Warrior Great Perfection now. I can totally beat up a Late Stage Martial Artist," Xiao Wan said, her eyes wide with anticipation.
Su Mo picked up a piece of Silver Armor. "Put on this Tier Five Soft Armor for protection. Go ahead and choose a weapon that suits you, too."
"I want those hammers."
Xiao Wan walked over, picked up a pair of iron hammers, and put them into her Storage Pouch.
Su Mo was stunned.
’This little girl is so aggressive! Who would’ve thought she’d choose hammers as her weapon?’
’No wonder she dared to demolish a house.’
Just then, the Communication Stone in Su Mo’s pocket suddenly activated. The voices of Long Chuan and Qingyangzi came from within.
Long Chuan’s respectful voice came through: "Elder Su, the Burial Ground is about to open."
"So soon?"
Su Mo said, surprised.
Long Chuan explained, "The Burial Ground has been affected by something unknown and is opening several days earlier than usual. Elder Su, you should bring your people over right away."
"Alright, I’ll bring them over now!"
Su Mo gave his orders: "Ink Flood Dragon, you take the Demon Beast army and Elder Huang back to watch over our home base. I’ll take the Xiao Family disciples to the Burial Ground to get some experience and train them."
"Yes!"
The Ink Flood Dragon led the vast Demon Beast army back to Qingyang City.
The one hundred-plus disciples of the Xiao Family remained.
Xiao Zhan said worriedly, "Xiaomo, that Burial Ground is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to take all of our family’s disciples with you? If something goes wrong, we could be completely wiped out."
"It is indeed very dangerous."
Su Mo thought for a moment. "How about this: I’ll place a Restriction on each of them to prevent others from killing them."
CHK CHK CHK!
Su Mo circulated his power and planted a Restriction on every Xiao Family disciple.
With his Restriction in place, not even a Martial King Powerhouse could hope to kill a Xiao Family disciple.
Unless their opponent’s strength surpassed his own.
Su Mo leaped onto the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and waved his hand grandly. "Let’s go! To the Burial Ground! Once I find the Burial Ground Blood Flower, I can refine the Nine Dragon Venerable Pill and advance to the Martial Master Realm."
