92: Su Yao's Request

Su Yao (picture)

Su Xuan only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and in the blink of an eye, he was brought before a palace shrouded in mist.

“Where did this take me? Is this still Lingyun Peak?”

Su Xuan was a little confused.

“Holy Son, there’s no need to panic. I am Elder Su, an inner sect Elder of Tianwu Holy Land. I apologize for the offense just now!”

Elder Su introduced herself.

Name: Su Yao

Cultivation: Great Saint (Early Stage)

Beauty: 98

Affection: 10

“So it’s Elder Su!”

Su Xuan suddenly realized. No wonder the woman in front of him was so beautiful; it turned out to be Elder Su!

This was Tang Mei's good friend, definitely a top-tier beauty!

“Elder Su, what can I do for you?”

Su Xuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Elder Su’s expression immediately became a little unnatural, but she quickly returned to normal.

“It’s like this: I want to ask you to help me buy something. After it’s done, I can grant you one request!”

After saying this, Elder Su’s face flushed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately felt that something was very wrong. Elder Su could clearly buy things herself, or even just send someone else, so why did she specifically choose him?

Su Xuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

“Please, help me… It’s really important. I’m good friends with your Revered Master, and I chose you out of trust!”

“Moreover, that item is very important to me, and I’m inconvenient to act for personal reasons, which is why I’m asking for your help!”

Elder Su looked at Su Xuan piteously. Her delicate appearance made Su Xuan a little moved.

However, Su Xuan quickly sobered up. The woman in front of him was a Great Saint; he couldn't be charmed by her!

“Alright, Elder Su, tell me your request!”

Su Xuan employed a delaying tactic, agreeing first. It wouldn't be too late to ask Li Qiuyue about the specific situation later before proceeding.

“You agreed?”

Elder Su was a little excited.

“You're good friends with my Revered Master, and you strongly supported my Revered Master at the meeting, so of course I'll help you!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“You’re indeed a good child who knows how to repay kindness! You learned that well from your Revered Master!”

Elder Su smiled.

“Actually, it’s not difficult at all. I just want you to go to the black market near the Holy Land and buy something for me!”

Elder Su said, gesturing as she spoke.

According to Elder Su, what she needed was a recording stone with an asterisk and a mysterious string of numbers on it!

Elder Su didn't know what that mysterious string of numbers was; she just needed to buy any one.

“This…”

The more Su Xuan listened, the more something felt off. How was this related to the 'study materials' he had heard about in his previous life?

“No! This is another world! There’s no way such a thing as 'study materials' would appear here, right?”

Su Xuan shook his head, shaking off the absurd thought in his mind.

“Alright! I promise you, Elder Su!”

Su Xuan didn't ask further.

Upon hearing this, Elder Su was overjoyed, her face beaming.

“That’s great! Thank you, Holy Son!”

Elder Su said, a little excited.

“Take these. I want ten of them. After you buy them, the rest is yours!”

Elder Su placed ten High-Grade Spirit Stones into Su Xuan’s hand.

Su Xuan was a little surprised. What kind of recording stone was so expensive? Couldn't you buy several of these with just one Low-Grade Spirit Stone?

These were ten High-Grade Spirit Stones! If converted to RMB from his previous life, that would be almost a million!

“Oh, right, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this!”

Elder Su said mysteriously.

“Okay, Elder Su!”

After taking the Spirit Stones, Su Xuan left Elder Su’s residence. As he left, Elder Su looked at Su Xuan’s departing back, wondering what she was thinking.

“Sigh… If Su Xuan personally handles it, I wonder if it will achieve the desired effect. He should be very good at these things, right?”

Thinking of this, Elder Su’s face immediately flushed. What on earth was she thinking?!

…

Soon, Su Xuan returned to Lingyun Peak.

It had to be said, the two were indeed good friends. The peak where Elder Su resided was not far from Lingyun Peak, and he arrived in a short while.

“Disciple, why are you so late today?”

Upon entering Tang Mei’s small wooden house, Tang Mei’s tone was clearly a bit angry.

She had told Su Xuan to come to her at this time to check his cultivation progress, and this was only the first time, yet Su Xuan was late.

Such a lazy attitude was not what a Holy Son should have.

As a Holy Son, one of the core figures of the Holy Land, Su Xuan had to set a good example.

“I’m sorry, Revered Master, I encountered an unexpected situation on the way, so I was delayed!”

Su Xuan told Tang Mei about Elder Su’s matter, but he didn't tell her that it was a transaction between them.

Tang Mei was initially half-skeptical, but after receiving a voice transmission from Elder Su, her doubts were dispelled.

“So that’s how it is. Then I indeed misunderstood you!”

Tang Mei felt slightly apologetic.

“Never mind, then let’s begin to examine your cultivation progress! You should have practiced diligently during this time, right?”

Tang Mei said.

“Don’t worry, Revered Master! I’ve been working hard!”

With that, Su Xuan concentrated, and the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate, immediately forming a Black Tortoise pattern.

This was a sign of the Black Tortoise Art reaching minor completion. After cultivating to minor completion, a pattern could be formed to defend oneself.

“Not bad!”

Tang Mei said it lightly, but her heart was utterly astonished.

What the hell, was Su Xuan even human? In just a few days, he had cultivated a Heaven-Grade supreme-grade Cultivation Technique to minor completion?

Was this the golden talent? It was indeed terrifying!

Subsequently, Su Xuan also demonstrated another movement technique, bringing Tang Mei a small second shock.

“Alright, alright, you passed! If you have any cultivation problems in the future and don’t understand something, feel free to come to me!”

“However, don’t get complacent just because you’ve achieved something. Back in the day, your Revered Master here spent much less time than you!”

Tang Mei said stubbornly.

“Is Revered Master also a golden talent?”

Tang Mei: “…”

Tang Mei was a little speechless. Su Xuan was clearly asking a question, but why did his words sound so grating to her ears?

Indeed, there was a reason why geniuses were envied! After all, comparing people directly infuriated them.

“Of course! Mere golden talent, everyone’s the same!”

Tang Mei forcibly acted cool, while Su Xuan kept suppressing his laughter.

“Alright, get out! Instead of spending time talking here, you might as well spend more time cultivating!”

With that, Tang Mei didn’t wait for Su Xuan’s reaction and directly threw him out.

“Revered Master really can’t take a joke!”

Su Xuan smiled slightly.

But honestly, Tang Mei’s slightly exasperated look just now seemed a bit cute. Was this the charm of a woman in power?
