Chapter 2664: Sell One To You

Translator: Larbre StudioEditor: Larbre Studio

All was quiet in the palace.

The Elders were silent, even Priest Tian Hua did not interfere.

He looked pale all over, his chest heaving.

He was filled with so much rage he could have challenged Reverend Jin Wu to a battle right then and there, but he knew that was not possible.

Because he could not afford to cross him.

If Reverend Jin Wu did not have a handle on him, the Priest would not have been afraid of him. But the Reverend had accused him of preventing Wu Shan from advancing. He was in a pinch.

If word got to Lord Fa Wu, he would be the one punished.

There was a moment when Reverend Tian Jue switched his mood and suppressed his anger. Have Su Mo a glacial stare and said in a low voice, “Wu Shan, I’ll give you a Golden Phoenix Green Elixir as compensation!”

“Just one? Gosh, that’s quite petty, isn’t it?” Su Mo said.

“You should know that that Elixir is quite precious. One of those cost me a fortune!” said Priest Tian Hua. The most update n0vels are published on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“TIl accept ten, and not one fewer!” Su Mo said sternly. He knew the Golden Phoenix Green Elixir was precious, and it could be consumed indefinitely, so he had to take what he could.

“Ten?”

Reverend Tian Jue’s face paled heavily, but he persevered, “Wu Shan, are you joking?”

The Golden Phoenix Green Elixir was extremely difficult to refine. Even he, the Chief Elder of the Qinghua Branch, did not have that many with him.

“Ten. No exceptions!” Su Mo repeated himself.

“In your dreams!” Reverend Tian Jue snickered, not looking him in the eye. There was nothing else to say. He certainly would not give him ten Golden Phoenix Green Elixirs.

“Wu Shan, ten is just too many. That’s not good!” Reverend Jin Wu spoke up. He turned to Reverend Tian Jue and said, “Tian Jue, I’ll decide for him. Five Golden Phoenix Green Elixirs will do.”

Reverend Jin Wu knew that Tian Jue could not possibly have ten of those Elixirs on his person. The Elixir had no effect on them. It was exclusively used as a reward for their disciples and relatively difficult to refine. No branch had many of them.

“ive is still too many. I’ll give you two at most!” Reverend Tian Jue calmed down but had yet to agree.

He only had three Golden Phoenix Green Elixirs.

“Four, and that’s final!” Elder Jin Wu said flatly.

“Three. That’s all I have. If you can’t concede, we’ll just have to forget about it. I’ll wait for you to press charges at the headquarters,” said Reverend Tian Jue. He would have to surrender to judgement.

“Fine, three it is!” Reverend Jin Wu nodded.

Reverend Tian Jue looked disgusted. He flipped his palm and conjured a jade bottle, which he tossed to Su Mo.

Su Mo caught the bottle and opened it to check. There were indeed three Elixirs inside. Satisfied, he tucked it away.

He had received three precious Elixirs out of the blue! What luck!

“Wu Shan, now that our matter is resolved, it’s time you hand over the Dosu Tree!” said Reverend Tian Jue.

“That’s right, we need to take it back to Dosu Star!”

“You can’t have it. To do so would be committing a sin!”

Many Elders spoke up.

“Fine!” Su Mo nodded and took out a Spatial Ring. He passed it to Reverend Tian Jue and said, “The Dosu Tree is inside.”

Reverend Tian Jue quickly inspected the ring. Sure enough, the magnificent Dosu Tree was in there, on a piece of land stretching thousands of miles. It was in perfect condition with a strong life force, its spirit still intact.

“No problem!” Reverend Tian Jue nodded to the other Elders, who nodded back at him. As long as Wu Shan handed over the Dosu Tree, all was well.

“Wu Shan, I am the Chief Elder of the Mingyu Branch, and I would like to ask for the Dosu Fruit containing the Gravity Rule. Of course, I have a relic ready in exchange for it, what do you say?” an Elder spoke up. He knew it was impossible to demand a Dosu Fruit, so he planned to trade for it.

“Tm afraid not. There are too many disciples in the Palmy Branch. There aren’t enough Dosu Fruits to go around!” Su Mo shook his head and politely refused.

The crowd sighed. It seemed Wu Shan was reluctant to hand over the Dosu Fruits.

And there was nothing they could do about it. First come, first serve, after all. Wu Shan had taken everything, which also complied with the rules.

“Dear all, since Wu Shan has handed over the Dosu Tree, please take it back to Dosu Star!” Reverend Jin Wu spoke up.

“Goodbye!”

“Reverend Jin Wu, I shall leave now!”

“Goodbye!”

The Elders took their leave one after another.

Since Wu Shan was neither willing to hand over the Dosu Tree or the Dosu Fruits, they had no reason to stay any longer.

“Hehe, go ahead!”

Reverend Jin Wu personally led the Elders out of Jin Wu Manor, and then the other disciples sent the Elders off to their respective Branches outside Palmy City.

All the members of the other Branches had left the palace except Priest Tian Hua and Quan Ruhai.

$u Mo did not greet them, as though he had not seem them.

Soon, Reverend Jin Wu attended to them.

“Tian Hua, do you wish to get one Dosu Fruit for Quan Ruhai?” Reverend Jin Wu asked. He knew what their intentions were, since they were the last to leave.

“Certainly!” Priest Tian Hua nodded before turning to Su Mo and asking in a peaceful manner, “Wu Shan, it’s not much use keeping all those Dosu Fruits for yourself, can you spare one for your Senior Quan Ruhai?”

“T-This…!” Su Mo hesitated. In all honesty, he did not want to give Quan Ruhai, but since Priest Tian Hua had personally asked for it, he could not refuse.

Priest Tian Hua gazed at Su Mo. He was not rushing him, merely waiting for Su Mo’s response.

Quan Ruhai looked on coldly, unwilling to acknowledge the fact that he had been defeated by Su Mo.

As for the Dosu Fruit, he let his teacher ask for one.

Right then, Reverend Jin Wu spared a glance at Su Mo, hinting at him to give one Dosu Fruit to Quan Ruhai.

Su Mo paused for a moment before facing Quan Ruhai, “Senior Quan, you must know what I’ve been through to get these Dosu Fruits. I plan to sell them at a good price. How about this? I’l sell one to you.”

He did not want to give it for free, so he changed his mind and decided to charge Quan Ruhai for one instead.

Of course, he intended to devour the rest, not sell them.

“How much?” Quan Ruhai frowned.

Priest Tian Hua’s face sank too but he said nothing, Wu Shan did not plan to give it for free, but at least he was willing to exchange one for a price. i????????????????????????. ????????????

“Several hundred thousand Higher-grade Dawn Stones will do!” Su Mo said. He did not need to cheat anything off Quan Ruhai, and he did not lack Dawn Stones either. He asked for them just because he did not want Quan Ruhai to profit off him.

“Fine!” Quan Ruhai nodded and passed a storage ring to Su Mo without a second thought. There were half a million Higher-grade Dawn Stones inside.

“There you go, the Dosu Fruit with the Immortal Rule!” Su Mo flipped his palm and grinned as he passed the Fruit to Quan Ruhai, “Good luck studying it!”

“Whatever!” Quan Ruhai looked grim, without a hint of joy, because Su Mo’s smirk was odd and rather nerve-wrecking.

He even suspected Su Mo might have meddled with the Dosu Fruit but, after a careful inspection, it was not out of the ordinary.

“Right. Now that everyone’s settled, I shall take my leave, Jin Wu!” Priest Tian Hua saluted Reverend Tian Hua and left the hall with Quan Ruhai in tow.

Su Mo squinted at Quan Ruhai disappearing in the distance. If something was off about the man, then his Immortal Rule would eventually belong to Su Mo.

Su Mo was indeed interested in the Dosu Fruit with the Immortal Rule, but not too much.

He had studied the Immortal Ultimacy before. Digging into the Immortal Rule should not be difficult.

“Thank you, teacher!”

Only Su Mo and Reverend Jin Wu were left in the palace. Su Mo quickly thanked his teacher. If Reverend Jin Wu had not cooperated, he would not have received three Golden Phoenix Green Elixirs.

“You’re certainly audacious, young man, to dare to trick Reverend Tian Jue like that!” Reverend Jin Wu shook his head and said. He did not blame Su Mo, for a reluctant smile had lit up his face.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have dared!” Su Mo shrugged.

“You’ve killed Tian Jue’s disciple, and now you’ve managed to trick him. He might not dare to take revenge out in the open, but you have to be extra careful from now on!” Reverend Jin Wu reminded Su Mo.

“shall take note!” Su Mo said. He would not leave Palmy City unless absolutely necessary.

“Right!” Reverend Jin Wu nodded and left the palace after giving Su Mo some more instructions.
