In the hall, Elder Yuan was not looking at Su Mo, but at Luo Ming.
“Brother Luo, what brings you here?” He arose from the chair and greeted Luo Ming by cupping his hands.
Apparently, Elder Yuan knew Luo Ming very well.
Luo Ming smiled, glanced at Su Mo, and said, “I’m here with Su Mo to collect his prize! Don’t be stingy, Elder Yuan!”
“Haha!”
Elder Yuan chuckled bitterly and twitched his lips.
“Don’t be stingy?”
“Who would generously part with 680,000 Lower Spiritual Stones?”
He had even thought about assassinating Su Mo, but it seems that Su Mo was too close with the Luo family for his plan to work.
“Brother Luo, I’ve got the Spiritual Stones ready!”
Elder Yuan nodded, took out five storage pouches, and said, “Su Mo, here are exactly 681,375 Lower Spiritual Stones. You can count them up if you want.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Su Mo took the storage pouches and roughly scanned them before he put them away.
He did not count them up. Since they were willing to pay the Spiritual Stones, they would not try to cheat him.
Su Mo could not help but feel elated.
“680,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
“My abilities are going to soar!”
He did not want to stay any longer and bade Elder Yuan farewell.
Luo Ming said, “Elder Yuan, I can’t stay either. If you are free some time, please visit me at the Luo Mansion. Then we can have some tea than talk about the martial arts!”
“Ha ha! I’m looking forward to it!”
Elder Yuan cupped his hands, bade farewell and escorted Su Mo and Luo Ming out with a smile.
As he watched them leaving, the elder sighed. He had basically given away all the revenue the Four Seas Arena earned this year!
Su Mo and Luo Ming felt pairs of eyes secretly watching them as they left Four Seas Arena.
Luo Ming’s high cultivation enabled him to perceive everything around them.
While Su Mo’s cultivation was not strong, he was also very perceptive, perhaps due to his past life.
“There are some petty men with malice!”
Luo Ming sneered.
Su Mo frowned and said nervously, “Uncle Ming, we’d better hurry back!”
“Okay!”
Luo Ming nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Su Mo! No one will hurt you with me at your side.”
His voice was calm, but his eyes were full of assurance.
Su Mo had not expected this confidence from Uncle Ming.
Su Mo could not tell what his cultivation was, but he knew that he was definitely an expert of the True Spirit Realm.
The two returned to Luo Mansion safe and sound.
It was indeed peaceful!
They separated in the mansion, and Su Mo hurried into his room.
He took out all five storage pouches.
They were much smaller than his storage ring, so it took five storage pouches to fit all the Spiritual Stones.
Su Mo roughly counted the stones and the number was right.
“Huff!”
Su Mo took a deep breath, his face full of delight.
With so many Spiritual Stones available, his cultivation journey would be smooth sailing from now on.
After a while, he sat down cross-legged and in both hands held some Spiritual Stones from which he absorbed the Spiritual Qi to cultivate.
Now that the entire city knew how wealthy Su Mo was, it was not easy for him to purchase elixir outside anymore, so he decided to cultivate directly with the stones.
Although the Spiritual Qi in Spiritual Stones was inferior to that in Upper Lv 2 Pill, he had more than enough.
If Su Mo used all his power to absorb these stones, it would not be much slower than using elixirs.
His absorption speed was terrifyingly fast. As his seven Spiritual Spirals rumbled inside him, he used up 300 Lower Spiritual Stones in one mere hour.
In the next few days, Su Mo devoted himself fully to cultivating and was able to consume almost 4,000 Spiritual Stones each day.
Any martial artist at the same level as him could not afford the high consumption of this kind.
However, Su Mo was so rich that he did not care how much it would cost him to increase his cultivation.
Three days flew by quickly.
Su Mo had used up over 10,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, and accordingly, his cultivation had increased from Early Stage at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm to the Peak of Lv 6.
He opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
“The Spiritual Qi of 10,000 Lower Spiritual Stones only helped me to reach the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. That’s too slow!”
Su Mo sighed. Although having seven Spiritual Spirals gave him seven times the combat strength, it also required seven times the usual amount of Spiritual Qi to increase cultivation.
“Using Nine Spirals Mystique, I can create two more Spiritual Spirals, but not now. Otherwise, it’ll significantly slow me down.”
In order to increase his cultivating speed, he decided to stop creating Spiritual Spirals for a while.
In the future, when he reached the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm, he would finish creating the other two Spiritual Spirals before he entered the True Spirit Realm.
“When my cultivation reaches Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, I’ll return to Gale Island!” Su Mo thought.
Then, Su Mo began cultivating again. He concentrated his genuine Qi to prepare to enter Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Time passed very quickly while he cultivated.
After five days, Su Mo felt that he had concentrated enough genuine Qi, and his cultivation had reached a tipping point, so he began breaking the bottleneck of Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Crash!
Su Mo poured out tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones once and for all. They piled up like a little hill in front of him.
He pushed his hands onto the Spiritual Stones and began absorbing as hard as he could.
At the same time, Su Mo also began driving his Martial Soul to devour his surroundings.
The Martial Soul absorbed Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, which supplemented the Spiritual Qi he absorbed from the Spiritual Stones.
Suddenly, something strange happened. The Spiritual Stones in front of Su Mo suddenly started to float and surround him.
All the Spiritual Stones flew to Su Mo’s body, wrapped him up totally.
Then, they exploded and released endless Spiritual Qi, which wedged into Su Mo’s body crazily.
“Damn it!”
Su Mo’s face paled as he instantly realized what was happening.
His Devouring Martial Soul was devouring the Spiritual Qi of the Spiritual Stones.
Even his seven Spiritual Spirals could not contain such an endless flush of Spiritual Qi.
Soon, Su Mo began to feel a shooting pain in his meridians. His elixir field began swelling crazily and was about to explode at any moment.
Su Mo broke into a sweat. He had not expected his Devouring Martial Soul to be able to devour Spiritual Stones too.
Suddenly, Su Mo was in great danger.
