Chapter 245: Robbery—the Best Path to Wealth!

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Meanwhile, after Su Mo and Elder Wei had left the Highest Elder’s immortal’s cave, they returned to Elder Wei’s residence.

“That was impetuous of you, Su Mo!” Elder Wei said flatly, but he did not reprimand Su Mo.

Su Mo kept quiet instead of defending himself. He knew that what he had done had brought on many troubles for his Master.

“Master, what did you promise the Highest Elder?” Su Mo asked after a short while.

Elder Wei sighed and replied, “It’s nothing much. I’ve simply agreed to join the Highest Elder’s faction!”

Su Mo was startled upon hearing Elder Wei’s reply, but he was touched. He had heard from Senior Brother Wang Hui that Elder Wei was originally a member of the elders group. However, he came to the outer gate because he did not want to be involved in the struggle for power between the different factions in the sect.

But now, Elder Wei had just gone against his original intent and volunteered to join the Highest Elder’s faction in order to save Su Mo.

“Su Mo, you’re truly a peerless genius, and your speed of improvement has way exceeded my expectations! You’ve reached the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm in such a short time. It seems like I’ve underestimated you, after all!”

Elder Wei smiled and continued, “With your current rate of progression, it won’t be long before you reach the True Spirit Realm.”

Su Mo replied with a smile, “Master, I’m confident about reaching the True Spirit Realm within two months!”

Elder Wei’s eyes lit up upon he heard Su Mo’s words. He nodded and said, “It’s great that you’re confident in yourself! However, there’s a great difference between the Spiritual Martial Realm and the True Spirit Realm. In order to advance into the True Spirit Realm, you have to convert your congenital genuine Qi into Genuine Vitality. This is an extremely difficult process and you mustn’t rush through it, or you may destabilize your foundations!”

“Understood!” Su Mo nodded and asked, “Master, what exactly is the Genuine Vitality? Are there any pointers or issues to look out for when I’m converting my genuine Qi into Genuine Vitality?”

Su Mo then continued to ask Elder Wei about the advancement from the Spiritual Martial Realm into the True Spirit Realm, and Elder Wei shared much of his valuable experience and knowledge with Su Mo.

After a long while, Su Mo asked, “Master, what happened to your attempt to breakthrough your realm bottleneck?”

Before the trial test, Elder Wei was in seclusion in an attempt to advance into the True Strength Realm. That was why Su Mo was asking about it.

However, Su Mo already knew the answer. If Elder Wei had successfully advanced into the True Strength Realm, he would not have needed to ask the Highest Elder to help Su Mo out.

As Su Mo had expected, Elder Wei sighed and replied, “It’s no easy feat to enter the True Strength Realm. I’ve been stuck at the peak of Lv 9 True Spirit Realm for a dozen years. I may never able to advance into the True Strength Realm in my lifetime!”

Su Mo did not speak a word, for he knew that Elder Wei was not exaggerating. Despite looking like in his sixties, Elder Wei was actually more than 100 years old. He had long exhausted his potential!

“By the way, Su Mo, you’ve severely offended Duan Jingtian this time. You’re likely to suffer on the island from now on!”

Elder Wei’s face grew serious, and he continued, “Since you are no match for him yet, you must be more careful and vigilant. I’m afraid that he’ll attack you regardless of the rule!”

Su Mo nodded. He took a moment to collect his thoughts and then said, “Master, I’m going to leave the island to train myself outside. I won’t return before entering the True Spirit Realm!”

“Okay.” Elder Wei nodded gently and replied, “That’s fine. You’ll be able to hide from Duan Jingtian as well by leaving the island temporarily. With your strength, you’ll have no problem going to the neighbor countries for training!”

After a brief pause, Elder Wei took out an egg-sized Jade Charm and gave it to Su Mo. “This is a Long-distance Messaging Charm. You can send a message to me within a distance of 25,000 kilometers by activating the formation inside it. Don’t lose it!”

“25,000 kilometers?” Su Mo was astonished to know that such a miraculous item existed. “It can send a message across 25,000 kilometers!”

Su Mo scrutinized the jade charm and discovered that the jade charm was small but covered with complicated inscriptions

Elder Wei then added, “You can contact me at any time as long as we are within a distance of 25,000 kilometers from each other!”

“I understand! Thank you, Master!” Su Mo thanked Elder Wei and kept the Long-distance Messaging Charm properly.

Then, Su Mo chatted briefly with Elder Wei before excusing himself and leaving Elder Wei’s residence.

When Su Mo returned to his residence in the outer gate, Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin had yet to return.

After Li Feng left, Zhou Xin had moved into Li Feng’s room, and went out to complete his mission together with Niu Xiaohu.

“I wonder how many missions they accepted?” Su Mo shook his head with a smile, but he was not worried about them. Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu were both cautious and pragmatic. Since the missions that they accepted were easy, they should be fine.

After returning to his room, Su Mo began inspecting the loot from the trial test.

Originally, Su Mo would have been in the first place in the trial test with his own results and would be rewarded with Lv 3 treasures and 100,000 contribution points.

However, he was lucky enough to stay alive, and it was impossible for the sect to reward him!

But Su Mo did not mind, because what he had looted from the trial test was far more valuable than the sect’s rewards.

Clang!

With the wave of his hand, a pile of storage pouches appeared before him. The storage pouches stacked up like a small mountain, occupying almost half of his room.

These were just about half of what he had looted. If he was to take out the remaining storage pouches in his storage ring, the pouches would fill up his entire room.

Su Mo then began counting the items.

It took Su Mo more than two hours to finally finish counting up the items in the pouches.

At this moment, Su Mo was stunned despite being mentally prepared.

He had pillaged a total of 4,153 storage pouches, which contained over 34.2 million Lower Spiritual Stones, 9,500 Spiritual Herbs, 6,000 Martial Scrolls, 8,000 weapons of all types, and 6,000 bottles of medicinal elixirs. Apart from these items, there were a great number of items, like random crystals, materials from demonic beasts, and gold tickets. Su Mo was actually too lazy to check all the things out!

After counting up the items, Su Mo froze. It took a long while before he regained consciousness.

“Damn! There are so many things? Robbery is the best path to wealth after all!” Su Mo could not help cursing, his face bright red with glee.

It took Su Mo a while to calm himself down before he put all the items back in his storage ring.

If Su Mo’s cultivation had not improved so quickly recently, causing his genuine Qi to become messy and destabilizing his foundation, he would have started devouring immediately.

“Although I can’t improve my cultivation further, I can improve my human body!”

After a short pause, Su Mo took out over 500 Spiritual Herbs. He had looted over 9,000 Spiritual Herbs, but their quality varied.

There were some supreme Spiritual Herbs that had even reached Lv 3, as well as some of the best ones at Upper Lv 2. Su Mo did not want to consume them for the time being, so he had only taken out the average Spiritual Herbs.

Su Mo then started consuming the Spiritual Herbs crazily.

Su Mo had already tried and verified that his Devouring Martial Spirit could devour Spiritual Herbs as well.

However, there were too many disciples in the outer gate and Su Mo could not control his Devouring Martial Spirit’s devouring power from over-extending. Hence, he could only consume them one by one.

As Su Mo consumed a large amount of Spiritual Herbs, their vast efficacy was traveling through his body.

Su Mo then cultivated the Elephant’s Strength Skill and shadows of elephants started appearing on his body.
