After Su Mo entered his attic, he turned toward Cai Yun.
“From now on, you can live in a room on the second floor.” Su Mo said.
Cai Yun stared silently at Su Mo for a while and then said coldly, “I’m not your maid. If you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll kill you!”
She turned on her heel and strode straight toward the second floor.
“Uh...”
Su Mo was shocked and rubbed his nose with a bitter smile. This woman was so cold!
“The Celestial spirit Sect is not the Horned-demon Territory. If you anger me, I’ll sell you for a good sum of Spiritual Stones!”
After a while, Su Mo went to the cultivating room on the third floor to heal his wounds and begin cultivating.
Currently, his cultivation had quickly increased to Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, so he needed to refine his cultivation and stabilize his foundation.
Soon, he was engrossed in cultivating.
Five days passed in the blind of an eye.
After five days, Feng Shaoyu and the others instead came to him before he went to find them.
“11th Junior Brother, what happened back then?” Tian Chen asked hurriedly as soon as he saw him.
“Yes! 11th Junior Brother, I really don’t understand why the horned demons would let us go.” Yun Fei was also curious.
Feng Shaoyu did not speak, but he stared intently at Su Mo. His gaze was probing for answers.
After five days of rest, Feng Shaoyu had regained some of his essence, qi, and spirit, but his face was still pale. It seemed unlikely for him to recover completely within half a month.
“This... I don’t really understand either.”
Su Mo did not know how to answer them, so he sighed and said, “I gained the Legacy of a powerful man who was probably on the horned demons’ good graces, so maybe that’s why they let us go!”
“Really?”
Feng Shaoyu and the others were not entirely convinced, but this was the only plausible explanation.
“I guess the horned demons owe that man a huge favor,” Tian Chen said, nodding.
“Perhaps! Either way, I’m glad we got out,” Su Mo said with a smile.
He did not want to talk about this further, so he sighed and asked quietly, “Senior Brothers, how do you plan on dealing with the fact that the First Elder of Holy Sky Peak, Zhu Wen, sent people to kill us?”
The three heard this and were silent for a while before Yun Fei said, “Zhu Wen is a master at Peak Martial King Realm, and he’s the First Elder of Holy Sky Peak, so we definitely can’t beat him. We can only tell Master about this and hope he addresses it.”
Tian Chen said with a sigh, “But Master is in seclusion, and we don’t know when he’ll come out!”
Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said, “We need to play the long game. Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei are both dead, so we have no proof. Even Master can’t go against Zhu Wen without a reason.”
They discussed the situation for a while longer and decided to wait until their Master, Huangfu Qing, came out of selusion.
“11th Junior Brother, we won’t disturb your training any longer!”
After a while, Feng Shaoyu and the others prepared to leave.
“Hold on a second. Senior Brothers, are there any good training grounds in the Dark Domain where I can make money?” Su Mo asked.
Su Mo had no more Spiritual Stones left. Without them, his cultivation and physical strength would progress at a slower speed, so he desperately needed to make some money.
“Somewhere you can make money?”
The three were startled, and then Tian Chen smiled and said, “11th Junior Brother, the Dark Domain has all kinds of forbidden areas, ancient relics, and treasure troves. You can find treasure anywhere, but if you want to make money, you don’t even have to leave the Celestialspirit Sect.”
“Oh? Where can I make money in the Celestialspirit Sect?” Su Mo asked curiously.
“Casino Valley,” said Tian Chen.
“Casino Valley?”
Su Mo was intrigued and asked, “Is that were disciples gamble? What are the rules?”
Tian Chen said with a chuckle, “Casino Valley’s rules are very simple. Disciples fight in a fighting ring, and the fighters decide how much they bet on themselves. If the gamble fighter wins, they receive a full reward. If the challenge fighter wins, they only receive 30%.”
“What does that mean?” Su Mo was confused.
“Haha! 11th Junior Brother, let me explain.” Yun Fei said with a laugh. “If you participate in a gamble fight, you can determine how much to bet and the limit of the challenger’s cultivation. If you win, you receive the same amount you bet. If you lose, you only have to pay 30%.”
“I see!”
Su Mo nodded. These rules were both fair and unfair.
It was fair because the gambling fighter could not choose his opponents, so he could limit their cultivations and receive the full reward.
It was unfair because challengers would usually choose to fight weaker opponents they knew they could beat.
“Of course, gamble fights have limitations. For example, the gambling fighter cannot set the cultivation limit of his opponents lower than his own cultivation,” Yun Fei added.
Su Mo understood the apparent logic. If the gambling fighter set the cultivation limit of his opponents to below his own, no one would challenge him!
“Nice! This Casino Valley seems interesting!” Su Mo smiled and decided to go in a couple of days to make a fortune.
“11th Junior Brother, with your combat force, you’ll be able to make a good amount of Spiritual Stones,” Feng Shaoyu said with a smile.
“Alright!” Su Mo nodded and asked, “Where is Casino Valley?”
“It’s between Dark Sky Peak and Bluesky Peak,” Feng Shaoyu said.
Su Mo nodded. After a while, Feng Shaoyu and the others left after fully explaining Casino Valley to Su Mo.
Su Mo pondered for a bit and decided to cultivate his swordsmanship further before going to Casino Valley.
Then, he took his Sky-crushing Sword out and started practicing in the square outside of his attic.
Towering Sky Peak was sparsely populated and quiet, so the spacious square was perfect for practicing.
Su Mo closed his eyes and instantly calmed himself down. Then, his eyes lit up with an intense aura.
“Whoosh!”
As he stabbed with his sword, a ray of sword radiance shot out and broke through the air.
He moved along with his sword and leapt through the air while his sword was swinging like a dragon.
Su Mo forgot about the time and completely immersed himself in cultivating swordsmanship. His skill level steadily increased.
A gorgeous figure stood before the window on the second floor of Su Mo’s attic. It was Cai Yun, who was watching Su Mo with a cold expression.
“He is one with his sword!” she murmured with a strange look in her eyes. How did this boy at Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm achieve becoming one with his sword? This shocked her greatly.
Becoming One with the Sword was an immense skill for swordsmen. Cai Yun could tell that Su Mo had achieved it, but Su Mo himself was completely unaware.
In the following days, Su Mo practiced every day. After a week, he felt his swordsmanship had become much more skilled, and his Nirvana Swordplay had increased greatly. Although he had not reached the Great Completion, he was very close.
He soon headed for the Casino Valley with his Sky-crushing Sword.
