Warrior's Promise

“Thank you, Elder Zhen Gu and the Sect for the rewards!” Su Mo cupped his fist at Sage-to-be Zhen Gu and said with a sincere look.

“Hohoho, you deserve to be rewarded as you have brought glory to Path Sect!”

Sage-to-be Zhen Gu shook his head and continued, saying, “For your third reward, you can put forth your request and ask us for whatever you want!”

“I can ask for whatever I want?” Su Mo was shocked when he heard that he could ask for whatever he wanted.

“Yes. As long as you are not asking for the sky, our sect will fulfill your wish!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu nodded and smiled broadly.

Su Mo’s eyes lit up. The rewards were getting more attractive. Since he could ask for whatever he wanted, he would not stand on ceremony!

Su Mo went silent and he started to think of the reward that he would ask for.

Sage-to-be Zhen Gu and Feng Guang looked at him and waited for him to put forth his request.

Su Mo thought through things quickly. He had enough cultivation skills, martial arts, weapons and the only thing that he was short of was the resources.

Although Path Sect had rewarded him with 1,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals, which was a large amount, it would not be enough for him. What he needed most was more Spiritual Crystals.

However, Su Mo did not want to ask for Spiritual Crystals. He wanted to ask for better resources.

“Elder Zhen Gu, I would like to have a top-grade Dragon’s Vein!” Su Mo said.

“What?”

Sage-to-be Zhen Gu widened his eyes when he heard what Su Mo had said. He looked straight into Su Mo’s eyes and asked, “Can you say that again?”

When Elder Feng Guang heard Su Mo’s request, he was so shocked that he nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Dragon’s Vein?

A Top-Grade Dragon’s Vein?

The Dragon’s Vein was a priceless item. A Medium-Grade Dragon’s Vein and a Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein were already highly priced, and Su Mo had asked for a Top-Grade Dragon’s Vein!

“I said…I would like to have a top-grade Dragon’s Vein.” Su Mo looked embarrassed. He knew that he was asking for too much but he did not care. If Sage-to-be Zhen Gu refused to accede to his request, he would then ask for a lower grade. He had asked for a top-grade in the beginning so that he could bargain with Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.

When Sage-to-be Zhen Gu heard what Su Mo had said, his face twitched and he was taken aback by Su Mo’s request.

After keeping quiet for a while, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu said, “Su Mo, there are different grades of Dragon’s Vein. There are the inferior-grade, low-grade, medium grade, and top-grade. The Inferior-Grade Dragon’s Veins are the Dragon’s Veins that can produce Spiritual Stones. The Low-Grade Dragon’s Veins produce Lower Spiritual Crystals and the Medium-Grade Dragon’s Veins produce Middle Spiritual Crystals. The Top-Grade Dragon’s Veins naturally produce the best quality Spiritual Crystals.”

“Ah!” Su Mo was shocked when he heard what Sage-to-be Zhen Gu had said. He smiled bitterly within himself as he realized that he was asking for the sky.

A Top-Grade Dragon’s Vein was able to produce Upper Spiritual Crystals and it was priceless. Even if Path Sect had one, they would not possibly give it to Su Mo!

“Erm…Elder Zhen Gu, I was referring to the Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein when I mentioned the top-grade Dragon’s Vein!” Su Mo immediately explained.

“Oh! You would like to have a Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein! This should not be a problem. I will tell our Sect Leader about it!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu realized that Su Mo only wanted to have a Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein. This request was reasonable and he could put forth the request for him.

“Thank you, Elder Zhen Gu!” Su Mo cupped his fist at Sage-to-be Zhen Gu and he was elated. He would be rich if he could get hold of a Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein.

A Low-Grade Dragon’s Vein could continually produce Lower Spiritual Crystals for Su Mo. There would be a few hundred million Lower Spiritual Crystals from the Dragon’s Vein and Su Mo would be swallowing that large amount of Spiritual Qi!

Sage-to-be Zhen Gu nodded. He took out a storage ring and handed it over to Su Mo.

“Here are the 1,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals and the Pro-disciple identification tag. As for your Dragon’s Vein, I will have to ask the Sect for it and this will take some time!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu said.

“All right!” Su Mo nodded and carefully took the storage ring.

After chatting with Sage-to-be Zhen Gu for a while, Su Mo left with Feng Guang.

“Hahaha, Su Mo, you are rich now!” Feng Guang said and laughed out loud when they were walking on the mountain path.

“Yes. The rewards from the Sect are better than the ones that I received from Sun Moon Tribe!” Su Mo was excited. He wished for more Fight meets.

“Now that you have become a Pro-disciple, your position has been elevated. You have a great future in front of you!” Feng Guang said and he was filled with envy.

“Hohoho, no matter how high my position is, I am still a disciple. I am nothing compared to Elder Feng!” Su Mo said and smiled.

“Su Mo, I have helped you a lot. You must put in a good word for me in front of Holy Elder Zhen Xian. Just one word from Holy Elder Zhen Xian can change my destiny!” Feng Guang said and he looked hopeful.

“This…sure. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely help you!” Su Mo hesitated for a while before nodding. He did not mind putting in a good word for Feng Guang but it would be up to Senior Brother Zhen Xian to decide whether he was willing to help Feng Guang.

“Hahaha, that’s great!”

Feng Guang was elated. He then said, “Come, let me bring you to your new abode where the Pro-disciples live.”

“All right!” Su Mo nodded.

The two of them hastened their speed and headed in the direction where the Pro-disciples lived.

Wen Dao Mountain was huge. The place where the Pro-disciples lived was on the other side of the mountain and it was about half-way up the mountain.

The environment was nice and, from afar, Su Mo could see several beautiful palaces on the mountain.

There were about 49 palaces and they were far apart from one another. Each palace had an area of its own.

In all, there were 48 Pro-disciples. With the current addition of Su Mo, there was a total of 49 of them.

Soon, Feng Guang brought Su Mo to a new palace.

The entire palace was made of special wood and gems. As the light glittered, the palace looked splendid.

“This palace has been built specially for you recently. I put a lot of effort in!” Feng Guang said with a smile.

“Is that so? Thank you, Elder Feng!” Su Mo said with a smile.

“Come on, given our relationship, it’s the least I could do. You need not thank me!” Feng Guang said casually and waved his hand.

When Su Mo heard what Feng Guang had said, he touched his nose. Our relationship? What kind of relationship do we have?

Su Mo was speechless.

However, Feng Guang had indeed helped him a lot. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would return the favor.

Su Mo then walked into the palace. The palace was spacious and a large number of gems were mounted on the ceiling, making it look magnificent.

There were many rooms in the palace and an array had been set up for each room to isolate it from the rest. It was a nice place to live..

“Elder Feng, I would like to start my meditation. Please help yourself!”

After Su Mo had walked around the palace and taken a quick look at it, he tactfully asked Feng Guang to leave.

“Hohoho, go ahead! I need to make a move first as I have things to attend to!” Feng Guang said, smiling.

After Feng Guang had left, Su Mo shut the gate and entered into a cultivation room.

He had 1,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals and his cultivation level had been stagnant for some time. It was time for him to break through to Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm.
