Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 297
Chapter 297: Zhu Shaojing
Su Mo had strolled around Tongzhou City for about an hour, then he went into the prosperous Sky-sea Pavilion, which was congested with people. He wanted to but some Beast Souls here before going to the Imperial City with Mu Lingping.
To Su Mo’s surprise, there was also a Sky-sea Pavilion in Tongzhou City and it looked more extraordinary than the one in Skymoon Imperial City.
After entering the gate, a big trading hall came into Su Mo’s view. It was about 2,500 meters wide and was supported by many white jade pillars that were 100 meters high and 5 meters thick.
The shops along the sides exhibited many dazzling treasures like expensive weapons, Spiritual Herbs, ancient scrolls, and so on.
Su Mo walked around and then went over to a counter that specialized in Beast Soul.
A skinny old man behind the counter smiled and asked Su Mo, “May I help you? Which rank of Beast Souls do you need?”
“Do you have Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Soul Crystals?” asked Su Mo.
Although the high-ranking Beast Souls were more expensive, their devouring effect was better. Therefore, Su Mo decided to buy Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Souls.
“Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Souls?” As the old shopkeeper listened to Su Mo, he looked him over and said with a smile, “Master, we do have a dozen Beast Soul Crystals at Class 9 Lv 3. But you know, the price is very high…”
Obviously, the old man still wanted to say something more, but he stopped. The shopkeeper perhaps thought that Su Mo could not afford them because he did not seem very rich.
“How much?” Su Mo asked.
“30,000 Lower Spiritual Stones each,” said the old man.
Having heard that, Su Mo frowned. He once bought a Class 9 Lv 2 Beast Soul Crystal in Skymoon Imperial City that only cost 100 Lower Spiritual Stones. Now the price of a Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Soul was 300 times higher.
Su Mo thought, “It’s so expensive! But a demonic beast at Class 9 Lv 3 is as powerful as a martial artist at Lv 9 of the True Spirit Realm, so it’s worth it.”
“I want all of them,” said Su Mo. In order to improve the level of his Martial Soul, no matter how expensive they were, he would buy them.
“Well, how many Beast Soul Crystals at Class 8 Lv 3 and Class 7 Lv 3 do you have? I’ll buy all of them,” Su Mo added.
“I’ll buy all of them.” Su Mo repeated his request.
The old man was stunned and asked Su Mo, “Do you come from the Dark Pill Palace?” He was shocked. “Aside from the Dark Pill Palace in Topsun Country, no one needs so many Beast Souls. Moreover, even the core disciples in the Dark Pill Palace don’t have enough money to buy all of them.”
“Please count all the Soul Crystals and tell me the total price.” Su Mo did not respond to the old man but instead urged him.
“Done!”
The old shopkeeper nodded. Then, he happily counted the Soul Crystals. Regardless of who Su Mo was, he was willing to sell them, so long as the client could afford it.
Soon afterward, the old man finished his count and said, “Master, we have 73 Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Soul Crystals, which cost 2,190,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, and 228 Class 8 Lv 3 Beast Soul Crystals, which cost 2,280,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. Also, there are 538 Class 7 Lv 3 Beast Soul Crystals, which cost 1,600,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. In total, you need to pay 6,070,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
Su Mo nodded. Then he used the power of his mind and separated some of the Spiritual Stones from the storage ring into a storage pouch. “You can check the stones now.”
After the old man had counted the stones, he packed them up and gave all the Beast Soul Crystals to Su Mo.
Holding the storage pouch, Su Mo felt a bit excited. Now, he had gotten so many advanced Soul Crystals. If all of these could not help him to improve the level of his Martial Soul, he would not believe it.
“Shopkeeper, get all the Class 9 Lv 3 Soul Crystals. I want them all.”
At this moment, a high and loud voice rang out. A man with a round face and big ears arrogantly walked up to the store.
The shopkeeper was astonished. He shook his head and politely said, “Master, I’m sorry. All the Class 9 Lv 3 Beast Soul Crystals in our store have been sold.”
“They’re all sold?” the youth disappointedly said. “Then give me some Class 8 Lv 3 crystals.”
The old shopkeeper shook his head again. “Well, they’re also out of stock.”
“What? Are you kidding me?”
The young man frowned at the shopkeeper’s words. “How many Class 7 Lv 3 Soul Crystals do you have? I can use them to practice.”
The old shopkeeper still gave a wary smile and pointed at Su Mo. “Master, you’re too late. He has bought all the Soul Crystals from Lv 3 to Lv 7.”
“All of them?”
After the youth heard that, he turned to Su Mo and shouted, “You should give me all the Class 9 Lv 3 Soul Crystals.” It seemed that the youth did not talk to Su Mo, but rather, commanded him.
Su Mo glanced at the man without saying anything and was about to leave.
The youth was stunned and displeased. He stopped Su Mo. “Didn’t you hear me?” the youth yelled in anger. It irritated him that a martial artist at Lv 2 True Spirit Realm dared to ignore his order.
Su Mo’s face darkened as he coldly said, “All bark and no bite! Get lost!”
“What did you say?” The youth became furious and a wisp of killing desire flashed over his eyes. He coldly shouted, “You’re really tired of living! Do you know who I am?”
“Sure!” Su Mo nodded.
After hearing that, the youth loftily smiled and replied, “And you still behave so rudely? How dare you!”
Su Mo scoffed. “I’m talking to a dog that has blocked my way!”
“You… you’re digging your own grave!”
The youth fell into a rage. Su Mo had called him a dog!
Swinging his hand, the youth punched at Su Mo’s face. A huge and extremely powerful Palm Print was approaching Su Mo.
This young man had arrived at the Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, so the power of this strike was enough to crush a hill.
“Back off!” Su Mo yelled. He also punched his opponent at the same time. With a loud clang, both of them stepped back.
“He’s that powerful?” the youth thought. Although he did not use much of his fighting strength, this strike could not be resisted by a martial artist who had just arrived at Lv 2 True Spirit Realm.
Su Mo also felt surprised. His opponent might not be a normal martial artist at Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm. Otherwise, he could not have such powerful strength.
Their conflict had drawn the attention of many people. After recognizing the youth, the crowd exclaimed,
“Is he the disciple in the Dark Pill Palace, the genius on the List of Top 100 Talents, Zhu Shaojing?”
“Zhu Shaojing ranks 86th on the list. Who is the other guy? He resisted Zhu Shaojing’s palm attack!”
“Haha! This will be a good show! The young man offended Zhu Shaojing. He’ll get seriously injured or maybe even die today.”
Su Mo heard the people’s discussion and realized that the youth in front of him was on the List of Top 100 Talents. No wonder he was so powerful.
“People mustn’t fight in the Sky-sea Pavilion. Violators will be punished.” At this moment, a loud authoritative voice resounded.
After hearing the voice, Zhu Shaojing meditated for a while and then said with a scoff, “Young man, I’ll wait for you outside the hall. Don’t be a coward and hide inside.”
Obviously, Zhu Shaojing did not dare to violate the rule in the Sky-sea Pavilion. Having said that, he went out.
