“Greetings, Deputy Hall Chief and Supervisor Su!”
“Greetings, Deputy Hall Chief and Supervisor Su!”
The craftsmen saluted the men one after another.
Elder Hu and Su Mo both answered with smiles and nods.
A few moments later, they arrived at the ninth floor and sat in the living room.
Elder Hu smiled and said, “Su Mo, my whole life I’ve been in pursuit of profound craftsmanship. I’m so hungry for it. Please excuse me!”
Asking Su Mo to teach him craftsmanship knowledge still made him feel very awkward, hence he made a little explanation.
“Don’t worry about it!”
Su Mo waved his hand and said, “Let’s begin. You two should listen carefully!”
This time, he did not print the knowledge on the jade slips.
By personally teaching the knowledge to them, he could make them feel that he was the one helping them and thus they would realize his importance.
“Okay!”
The two students immediately began to attentively concentrate, afraid of missing one word.
After Su Mo had pieced his words together, he started to speak.
Su Mo spoke of the knowledge in general terms. He talked about Ou Lianzi’s comprehension and viewpoint on craftsmanship.
If they could fully digest Su Mo’s words, they would greatly benefit.
Elder Hu and Master Cui were completely immersed in Su Mo’s words.
Time passed by, and after four hours, Su Mo stopped talking.
“Elder Hu, Master Cui, let’s call it a day.”
Elder Hu smiled and said, “Su Mo, thank you for your effort!”
He did not ask Su Mo to continue because today’s lesson was already too much for him to digest.
“Thank you so much, Supervisor Su!” Master Cui saluted to Su Mo.
“Elder Hu, I’ll help myself out.” Su Mo did not want to waste more time.
Elder Hu did not keep Su Mo, who then went straight back to his house.
He started cultivating in seclusion, concentrating on refining his Dark Force and strengthening his cultivation.
After practicing for 10 days, he tried to upgrade to Lv 8 True Darkness Realm but failed.
After cultivating for another five days, he was ready to try to break through again.
Su Mo entered the Divine Map.
Hong Qingxuan was not cultivating, but just sitting in the courtyard, staring blankly.
“Qingxuan!” Su Mo said softly.
Hong Qingxuan exclaimed as soon as she saw that he arrived, “Brother Su Mo, you’re here!”
“Qingxuan, what’s on your mind?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
Hong Qingxuan sighed and said, “I’m thinking about my master. I don’t know where she is. I wonder if she came to the Central Continent.”
“Uh… I think she should have come here. You will meet again!” Su Mo was embarrassed upon hearing Qian Xunyue mentioned.
“Alright!” Hong Qingxuan nodded.
Su Moimmediately diverted the topic and said, “Qingxuan, let’s cultivate together!”
“Okay!” Hong Qingxuan agreed.
Su Mo thought of devouring Teal Fire King. However, considering that Teal Fire King’s cultivation was too high, he might waste a great amount of Dark Force.
Therefore, he decided to devour some Spiritual Stones first, and save Teal Fire King and Leng Fan for the future.
They then sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
He took out a great number of Spiritual Stones and exerted his Devouring Martial Soul.
The courtyard was filled with Spiritual Qi in no time. The dense Spiritual Qi instantly overwhelmed them.
It was a big challenge for Su Mo to break through to Lv 8 True Darkness Realm because his cultivation base was not solid enough.
After consuming millions of Upper Spiritual Stones in 24 hours, Hong Qingxuan upgraded, but Su Mo did not.
“I can’t believe this!”
Su Mo gnashed his teeth and took out another bunch of Spiritual Stones to continue.
After four hours, his cultivation bottleneck finally loosened.
Shortlythereafter, he reached Lv 8 True Darkness Realm!
His strength surged again as his Spiritual Spirals vibrated intensely.
He thought while sensing his strength, “Now I can fight a normal Lv 3 Martial King Realm martial artist without even having to use the Three Secret Techniques!”
When he opened his eyes and saw Hong Qingxuan cultivating, he smiled.
She only had one Spiritual Spiral, so it was much easier for her to upgrade. She was now at Lv 7 True Darkness Realm.
Su Mo left the Divine Map without saying goodbye.
“It’s time to leave here!”
Su Mo sighed. He had stayed in Heaven-sea City for more than a month. He had to go.
He thought it would be better to inform Elder Hu. Otherwise, if Elder Hu thought he was running, it would be troublesome.
Su Mo then went to Elder Hu’s residence.
Su Mo got straight to the point. “Elder Hu, I’m going to leave here for a while.”
Elder Hu’s face fell upon hearing this.
“Why?”
His brow furrowed. He would not be able to get profound craftsmanship knowledge after Su Mo left.
Therefore, he did not want Su Mo to leave Heaven-sea City.
“Elder Hu, you know that I have to find the Blood-striped seed and Divine Jade. It’s a mission from my master, and I have to fulfill it!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.
“Is that so?!” Elder Hu showed hesitation. He was so in awe of Su Mo’s master.
Su Mo smiled and said, “Trust me, Elder Hu. I’m now the Supervisor of the Craftsmanship Hall. I’ll come back when I’ve finished the mission!”
But still, Elder Hu did not buy it.
Su Mo said with a beaming face, “Elder Hu, when I come back, I’ll introduce you to my master!”
“Really?” Elder Hu’s eyes glittered as he became excited.
It would be a great honor to meet an Imperial Craftsman!
“You have my word!”
Su Mo sighed inwardly. He had to lie to Elder Hu in order to be free.
