232: Is Su Chen merely an insignificant mortal immortal?

Slightly mocking voices continued to ring out; they felt utter contempt for Su Chen's actions.

What a joke.

Buying out the entire Duobao Pavilion—was such a thing even possible?

Duobao Pavilion had been doing business in Fengyu City for so many years and had accumulated massive resources. Even if you could buy out everything displayed in the shop, it would be considered impressive.

But you want to buy every single thing they own.

Isn't that just nonsense?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looking at him, I thought he was some Young Master from a great power, but it turns out he's just a fool."

"Even a Young Master from a great power wouldn't pull a stunt like this. A Personal Disciple from the Xuntian Sect visited Fengyu City once before, and even they didn't buy things like this, taking everything the moment they arrived. Who would just squander Immortal Crystals like that?"

"Exactly. He couldn't possibly be an existence even more terrifying than a Personal Disciple of the Xuntian Sect, could he?"

"How is that possible? I heard that Personal Disciple had a True Immortal cultivation. This guy doesn't look like a True Immortal at all; his aura is so weak. I reckon he's just a piece of trash at the Mortal Immortal Realm."

Mocking and playful voices continued to rise.

Humans are social creatures, and they have a strong curiosity when it comes to watching a spectacle.

So, after seeing Su Chen's actions, they all found a spot to quietly watch the show, offering their commentary along the way.

"It's one thing to act big elsewhere, but this is Duobao Pavilion. Making trouble like this might not get him killed, but a beating is likely unavoidable."

"Hahaha, I'm actually looking forward to seeing him kneeling and begging for mercy in a moment."

"Indeed. The more arrogant he is now, the more pathetic he'll be later."

Just then, a maid walked out from within Duobao Pavilion, followed by a middle-aged man with an incredibly powerful aura.

Heavenly Immortal Perfection!

The moment they saw Su Hua walk out, someone immediately sneered.

"Manager Su Hua has come out; this kid is in trouble now."

"Care to bet if he'll land face-first or on his back when he's thrown out?"

Inside Duobao Pavilion, everyone looked at Su Chen with curiosity, anticipating what was about to happen.

But to their surprise, upon seeing Su Chen, Su Hua was suddenly stunned.

The people in the hall stopped talking, and with Su Hua freezing in his tracks, it became almost completely silent—so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

One could even hear the sound of breathing.

Everyone looked at Su Hua in confusion. What was going on? Why wasn't he taking action?

Then, Su Hua began to tremble all over. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

"Patriarch!"

Su Hua's body was stiff, finding it hard to believe that the person before him was actually Su Chen.

The Head of the Su Family!

He was a member of the Su Family's Direct Line and was relatively close to Su Chen in terms of generation, so he had seen him often back in the Xuantian Realm.

However, because he hadn't seen Su Chen for many years, meeting him so suddenly in the Immortal Realm left him unable to react for a moment.

Could this be a dream?

But... the resemblance was too uncanny!

The person before him had the exact same demeanor and temperament as the Patriarch; it was as if they were carved from the same mold.

"What, after all these years, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Su Chen said with a smile.

Boom!

An explosion seemed to go off in Su Hua's mind, leaving him completely dazed.

It really was the Patriarch!

At this moment, his emotions were incredibly complex, much like Su Geng's had been; an expression of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

Back in the Xuantian Realm.

In their era, Su Chen was the backbone of the Su Family. As long as he was there, everyone in the Su Family felt a great sense of security.

Because they knew that no matter what happened, as long as Su Chen was there, everything could be resolved.

But that sense of security vanished after they entered the Immortal Realm.

Now, seeing Su Chen again, it was as if he had found someone to lean on.

Thud!

Su Hua knelt directly before Su Chen and then performed a respectful salute, saying, "Patriarch, you have finally entered the Immortal Realm!"

Patriarch!?

Seeing Su Hua like this, everyone present was stunned.

Their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.

This wasn't right.

The script wasn't supposed to go this way.

Why did Su Hua just kneel down and call the other person Patriarch? Shouldn't he have gone up to give him a beating and then throw him out of Duobao Pavilion?

Su Hua was something of a minor celebrity in Fengyu City, so everyone was quite familiar with his background.

Wasn't Su Hua someone who had ascended?

And after ascending, he joined Duobao Pavilion. Where did this Patriarch come from? Could it be a Patriarch who had just ascended from the Lower Realm?

This situation seemed very likely. Su Chen's aura was very weak, probably just a Mortal Immortal, which perfectly matched the appearance of someone who had just ascended.

"Alright, there's no need for such formalities. Let's find a place where we can talk."

After Su Chen finished speaking, Su Hua finally snapped out of it. He stood up and led Su Chen toward the back courtyard of Duobao Pavilion, leaving the bewildered crowd behind.

In the courtyard.

After learning about what had happened to Su Hua over the years, Su Chen couldn't help but smile and say:

"It seems you've been living quite well these past few years."

Su Hua smiled helplessly. "It's all thanks to the care of Duobao Pavilion."

Beside them, Xu Yan's eyes were full of solemnity. Over the years, she had heard Su Hua mention this mysterious and powerful Patriarch more than once.

So she was also very curious about Su Chen's background.

But after watching for a while, she couldn't see anything special.

In fact... she felt Su Chen was very weak.

Because from the conversation just now, she knew that Su Chen seemed to have only just ascended.

As everyone knew, the strongest Cultivators in the Lower Realm were at the Great Emperor Extreme Realm.

Cultivators of this level were no different from ants in the Upper Realm.

And since Su Chen had just ascended, how powerful could he possibly be?

However, she didn't voice these doubts because Xu Yan knew Su Hua was not a brainless person. If he said Su Chen was powerful, there must be a reason for it.

After chatting with Su Hua for a bit, Su Chen waved his hand, and a terrifying life force instantly surged into Su Hua's body.

In an instant, a terrifying fluctuation emanated from within his body.

Boom!

Huh?

Xu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. Su Hua's Immortal Physique... had been restored!?

The members of the Su Family close to Su Chen's generation were all very loyal and affectionate. Since Su Hua treated Xu Yan as one of his own, he had told her about how he originally possessed an Immortal Physique.

Xu Yan had also been secretly collecting treasures over the years, trying to help Su Hua restore his Immortal Physique.

Therefore, Xu Yan knew very well how severe Su Hua's injuries were. To completely restore an Immortal Physique, the resources required were astronomical.

Even a hundred Duobao Pavilions might not be able to put it together.

Because an Immortal Physique was simply too powerful; even in the Immortal Realm, they were extremely rare.

In the entire Xuntian Sect, only one person possessed an Immortal Physique.

But now, with a mere wave of his hand, Su Chen had directly restored Su Hua's Immortal Physique?

My god!

Xu Yan knew that Su Chen was definitely an extremely powerful Cultivator of the Immortal Realm.

Powerful to the extreme!

To be able to change fate and reverse the universe in such a Heaven-Defying manner.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal!?

Or perhaps even above a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

In the next moment, an even more terrifying aura spread out, which almost the entire Fengyu City could sense.

After his Immortal Physique was restored, Su Hua directly took the opportunity to Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.
