At dawn on the following day, the market was already occupied by all the major clans.
Although it may seem unbelievable, they were waiting for a rice seller. Yet, the more incredible thing was that they were destined to be disappointed because the rice seller stood them up.
Presently, Su Yu still had no idea that he had stood up many clans. He had already gone to the field to plow and work while Elder Zhao was lying on a recliner near him. The recliner’s bottom was curved, and hence, he could sway back and forth as if he was on a cradler. While doing so, he stared at Su Yu with interest and an inexplicable sense of comfort.
“Kid, your master is indeed a God-level powerhouse. You really know how to enjoy life,” Elder Zhao said emotionally. Be it food or the items Su Yu had now, Elder Zhao accredited all of them to Su Yu’s “God-level powerhouse of a master” who changed his perception of a Saint. Who else could it be except a God-level powerhouse?
Psht! You haven’t seen what the world has to offer. I haven’t bought you a massage chair yet. That’s a true luxury.
Su Yu rolled his eyes. He had initially bought the recliner for himself and did not expect Elder Zhao to take a liking to it, occupying it self-righteously.
“What’s the matter? Are you indignant?” Elder Zhao looked at Su Yu while chuckling. “Forget it, you’re a junior, and I can’t take advantage of you. You’re a king too, and your physique can’t be too bad. I’ll give you a Body Tempering Pill.”
Su Yu was no stranger to the Body Tempering Pill, which came with body-tempering effects, and was the highly-coveted item of all budding martial artists. Although it was only a grade-1 pill, it was as precious as a grade-2 pill. There were very few of them in the entire East Delta County.
Elder Zhao was indeed worthy of being an Elixir Saint, for he could casually give away such precious pills.
Looking at the black pill in Elder Zhao’s hand, Su Yu was just about to say something, but it turned into an afterimage and immediately surged into Su Yu’s mouth.
Ding…
“Constitution +5”
The system alert made Su Yu raise his brows as he smiled and thought to himself, I’ve struck a fortune!
“Huh? Kid, have you eaten similar pills before?” Elder Zhao asked uncontrollably after staring at Su Yu for a long time.
“No.”
“Impossible! How can there be no reaction after you’ve eaten the Body Tempering Pill? You should at least be expelling some impurities.” Elder Zhao walked around Su Yu and frowned. “Strange… Besides, I can clearly feel that your body has become much stronger within a short period…”
Upon hearing Elder Zhao’s words, Su Yu immediately understood the reason. He reckoned that the system must have skipped some steps and replaced the potency of the pill.
“Elder Zhao, did you dupe me?” Su Yu asked, staring at Elder Zhao with suspicion while playing the blame game unconscionably.
“What!? I’m a mighty Elixir Saint. Why would I deceive you? Besides, I was the one who refined this pill. How can it be fake?” Elder Zhao’s face turned beet red as if he had been insulted terribly. He wished he could slap Su Yu and kill him.
“Brother Su, Master, it’s time for breakfast.” At that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao appeared at a timely juncture. On the way to the meal, she “secretly” gave Su Yu a bottle of pills before saying softly, “Brother Su, there are three Body Tempering Pills here. Have them for now. If you still need more, I’ll get some from Master.”
Elder Zhao, who was walking in front, clearly felt his heart beat faster as he was filled with grief. If the three Body Tempering Pills were spread in East Delta County, it would cause a huge uproar…
At that moment, two figures gradually approached the Great King Mountain from a spot that was not too far away from the peak.
“Sister, are you sure this is the Great King Mountain?” Bai Xiaolong asked in apprehension as he couldn’t stop observing his surroundings.
Along the way, the mountains were full of nothing but trees and grass. Compared to the other mountains, it was obviously much more desolate, so it didn’t seem like a place where Su Yu would live.
“Young Master Su gave us this location. It should not be wrong. Besides, this mountain is different from others. Naturally, there must be something unique about it,” Bai Xiaoya said as she continued to walk toward the peak of the mountain.
“Sister, since we know the Great King Mountain’s location, we can come anytime. Why do we have to rush over here so impatiently?” Bai Xiaolong lamented. He had never woken up so early before, and he had plenty of complaints.
“Not many people know about the Great King Mountain, so now many clans are searching for its exact location. If we come here now, we can beat many of them and form friendly ties with Young Master Su as soon as possible.”
While speaking, they gradually saw Su Yu’s residence.
Although it was not large, its architectural style was extremely special and unique in this world. All of a sudden, Bai Xiaoya and Bai Xiaolong were distracted as they stood in place in shock.
“Sister, this house looks so sensational. How was it built?” Bai Xiaolong’s sleepiness instantly vanished, and he muttered to himself in a shaky voice while staring at the house with complex emotions like excitement, confusion, desire, and so on. Although his clan’s residence was large, it covered only a small area compared to this. It turned out… that houses could be sophisticated too.
“How wonderful would it be if we could live here…” Bai Xiaolong yearned to live there.
“Indeed, Young Master Su is extraordinary.” Bai Xiaoya recovered from the shock and stared at Bai Xiaolong. She explained, “We must be respectful later. No matter who we see inside, we must be as friendly as possible, okay?”
Bai Xiaolong nodded. Even without his sister’s instruction, he was already too timid to be rude because of the house’s decor that he was in awe of.
The two of them took a deep breath before walking toward the main house.
As they got nearer, they saw a unit of rice crops swaying with the wind near the house…
Compared to the Great King Mountain, one unit of land was extremely small, but when the rice crops were gathered together, they formed a spectacular sight.
“Sister, surely… this isn’t the rice…” Bai Xiaolong swallowed his saliva. He initially thought that no matter how much rice there may be, there would not be more than 50 kilograms. Who would have thought that it was grown on such a large plot of land? The shock caused him to be at a loss for what to do.
The crops on many units of land beside the rice had begun sprouting, and many had turned into saplings. Clearly, other things were being grown.
How powerful must the Great King Mountain be to be able to grow such a large amount of rice!?! The two of them thought at the same time.
“Woof… Woof…”
Su Yu and the other two were having their meal when Furry suddenly lifted its head and tilted its ear to the side before dashing toward the door. While barking at the door, it would turn to look at Su Yu from time to time.
“Kid, there are two guests at the door. Did you invite them?” Elder Zhao asked while chuckling and wolfing down the porridge, not surprised at all.
Su Yu frowned and thought, Who would come to the Great King Mountain at such an early hour? I told them that I came from the Great King Mountain, but I didn’t tell them its exact location. There are so many mountains in the vicinity. There’s no way they’d find this place so quickly.
The only people who know of this place are Bai Xiaoya and Han Dapeng. Could it be them?
Su Yu signaled for Furry to stop barking and then walked toward the door.
