Chapter 1208: 1208
“The Shenwu Academy? What kind of place is that?” Su Mo was very curious . It sounded like a martial arts school .
“The Shenwu Academy is a martial arts school founded by many powerful forces . You will be protected there!” Steward Chai explained .
Su Mo nodded . He did not keep asking about Shenwu Academy . Since it was founded by many powerful forces, it must be quite extraordinary .
“I’ll be frank with you . I was a disciple of Shenwu Academy . I left the Academy more than 300 years ago!”
A look of nostalgia shone in Steward Chai’s eyes as he thought of his younger years .
After pondering for some time, Su Wu nodded solemnly . “Since you have shown me the way forward, I will go to Shenwu Academy!”
He was certain that Steward Chai would not harm him . With his superior strength, he did not need to lie to Su Mo .
“However, that Honorable superior from the Sorcerer tribe still hasn’t left . He must be watching me in secret . There might be more than one person,” Su Mo said, frowning .
“It’ll be fine . You can leave . I will take care of it myself,” Steward Chai said .
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief, but then he thought of something and worriedly said, “The Sorcerer tribe is so powerful . Offending the tribe would mean trouble for you . ”
“Ha ha!”
Steward Chai broke into laughter . “Are you worried for me? You don’t need to be . I am an elder of the strongest Sect in Star Beiling, the Caiyun Clan . They can’t do anything to me . ”
Su Mo suddenly realized that the Craftsman Guild was very loosely bonded . All its Craftsmen belonged to different factions .
It seemed that Steward Chai was no exception . He was an elder of a superpower .
“Very well then, Steward Chai, I won’t take up any more of your time . I will leave after some quick preparations . I must forestall my problems with a quick exit,” Su Mo said solemnly .
“Alright . ” Steward Chai nodded and became silent . Then, he turned his palm up . A jade slip appeared on his palm .
He made some notes on the jade slip and then handed it over to Su Mo .
“Su Mo, take this jade slip and go to the Shenwu Academy . Look for my former teacher, Grand Master Huoyuan . He will arrange your stay there,” Steward Chai said .
“Grand Master Huoyuan?” Su Mo nodded and kept the jade slip solemnly .
“Actually, I helped you partly because of my former teacher . ”
Steward Chai smiled faintly and continued speaking . “He’s looking for a person to inherit his transcendental craftsmanship . You fit the bill . ”
“So Grand Master Huoyuan is a craftsman as well!” Su Mo smiled .
“Yes . He is looking for a very gifted heir and craftsman to continue his legacy . Naturally, we disciples look out for him . ” Steward Chai smiled as well .
Su Mo and Steward Chai continued chatting for a while . After Steward Chai gave him the precise directions to Star Guzhou, Su Mo finally decided to leave .
“Steward Chai, I shall take my leave!” Su Mo rose and gave him a deep bow .
“Very well . ”
Steward Chai raised his head up a little and smiled . “When you reach a higher realm in your craftsmanship, do visit Star Beiling again . We can exchange notes on craftsmanship . ”
“Certainly!” Su Mo nodded solemnly . He bade goodbye and left .
Watching Su Mo’s silhouette disappear, Steward Chai smiled very faintly . He mumbled to himself . “Master, I have found you a good heir . I hope you will be satisfied!”
…
After leaving Steward Chai’s residence, Su Mo went straight for his room to prepare to leave with Qin Busi .
However, from a distance, he saw a man loitering outside his door .
The person was none other than Lu Yun .
“Master Su, you are finally back!”
When Lu Yun saw Su Mo return, he met him eagerly . His face was full of reverence .
“What can I do for you?” Su Mo asked nonchalantly . He did not like him at all—a greedy, snobbish backstabber .
Had Su Mo not become a craftsman of the Guild, he would not have even looked at him .
“Master Su, I didn’t know how exalted you are . I’m sorry to have offended you . Please don’t take it to heart!” Lu Yun was uneasy . He was afraid that Su Mo would make trouble for him .
Although he had done many things to help Su Mo in the past, he had also received many benefits for his efforts .
Furthermore, he was the one who brought Wu Fan to the forge . This had greatly offended Su Mo .
Su Mo stared at the perturbed Lu Yun . His thoughts turned and a smile flashed across his face . He coldly said, “You’ve received so many benefits from me . Do you think I wouldn’t take offense? Am I so kind?”
“Oh… !” Lu Yun’s heart began to palpitate . He looked agonized . Su Mo really would not let him off!
“However… it all depends on your performance!” Su Mo continued .
“Master Su, please explain!” Lu Yun said hastily .
“I’m kind of broke right now . Get me a few hundred billion Supreme Spiritual Stones to spend!” Su Mo said quietly .
He was too lazy to deal with Lu Yun, but Lu Yun had come after him . Before he left, he must make the other man cough out some money .
“A few hundred billion Supreme Spiritual Stones?” Lu Yun’s eyes widened and he looked flabbergasted .
“What? Don’t you have any?” Su Mo’s face quickly turned cold . An icy light shone in his eyes .
“No, no, I do, I do! Wait for me a while, Master . I’ll get it all ready for you . ” Lu Yun nodded desperately . He left with lightning speed .
Su Mo was shocked . He had just been joking . He had not thought Lu Yun actually had so many Spiritual Stones .
Su Mo then shook his head . He entered his room, greeted Qin Busi, and told him they would leave immediately after Lu Yun returned .
Lu Yun did not keep Su Mo waiting . Around three hours later, he returned .
“Master Su, this storage ring contains 120 Lower Spiritual Crystals and a few Lower Imperial weapons . I’m sorry, but these are all my assets . ”
Lu Yun handed him the storage ring . His heart was aching .
“Lower Spiritual Crystals?” Su Mo’s curiosity was aroused . He took the storage ring and his mind probed it . He saw the Spiritual Crystals within .
Each Spiritual Crystal was as large as a goose egg . It was completely white and looked just like the unique gem he had pocketed after killing the Trial Tester .
Su Mo was moved . So this was a Spiritual Crystal . It looked more valuable than a Spiritual Stone .
“How many Supreme Spiritual Stones is a Lower Spiritual Crystal worth?” Su Mo asked Lu Yun .
Errr…
Lu Yun was stunned upon hearing this . He had not realized that Su Mo knew nothing about the value of a Spiritual Crystal .
He did his best to explain . “A Spiritual Crystal is the supreme essence of a Spiritual lode . There’s a little Spiritual Sea inside . One Spiritual Crystal is worth a billion Supreme Spiritual Stones!”
“So many?” Su Mo’s eyes shone . In other words, more than 100 Spiritual Crystals would be worth more than 100 billion Supreme Spiritual Stones .
If he could get hold of a few hundred Spiritual Crystals, he would have nothing to worry about!
Su Mo’s thoughts could scare a person to death .
Even one Spiritual Crystal was an immense wealth, let alone a few hundred Spiritual Crystals!
Lu Yun had spent more than a decade in the Craftsman Guild . He had received so many benefits from numerous people, yet, he could only amass less than 200 Spiritual Crystals .
“Master Su, that’s all the money I have . Could you… ?” Lu Yun stared uneasily at Su Mo .
Although Su Mo’s naivety made him very unhappy, he did not show it . He only hoped that Su Mo would forgive him .
“Hmmm… not bad . I’m very satisfied . You may go!” Su Mo said this with a smiling face . He had not expected Lu Yun would bring him a few hundred billion Spiritual Stones . A little more than 100 Lower Spiritual Crystals was good enough .
“Thank you, Master Su, for your magnanimity!” Lu Yun was overjoyed . He saluted Su Mo with one cupped fist in a hand, happy that he was forgiven .
As for the Spiritual Crystals, he could just earn them again!
After some time, Lu Yun bowed and excused himself .
Afterward, Su Mo and Qin Busi left the room . They walked out of the Craftsman Guild and headed for Star Guzhou .
