Heaven Slaying Blade

The next day, the One-Armed Uncle came back with astonishingly good news.

From the auction house, after deducting the profit they were entitled to, Chu Mo was left with three hundred sixty thousand Liang of gold!

When the One-Armed Uncle placed the gold tickets summing up to three hundred sixty thousand Liang in front of Chu Mo, his hands were trembling!

Three million six hundred thousand Liang of silver, this figure not only shocked the One-Armed Uncle but also stunned Chu Mo. He knew the high-order Elemental Beasts were valuable, but he truly had not expected that the rare species of the Fourth-Order Elemental Beasts, the Red-Eyed Cold Ice Python, would fetch such an astronomical price.

This was not only a windfall gain in a single night, it was practically like a gold mine that had dropped from the sky!

No wonder those adventure teams risk their lives to hunt Elemental Beasts.

"Young Master, isn't the money... too quickly and considerably accumulated?" the middle-aged one-armed man asked Chu Mo with a trembling voice. "Such a significant amount of money is almost enough to fund a large-scale war!"

"I did not anticipate it turning into this much money. But now, wouldn't we have enough for all the expenses needed to establish our organization?" Chu Mo asked, a bit surprised.

The One-Armed Uncle, his face filled with excitement, responded: "More than enough? I believe... we would be able to afford a rapid expansion for ten years! Moreover, this is only the first batch. According to the initial estimate from the auction house, the Elemental Beasts you brought back could be auctioned for millions of Liang of gold. That amounts to a whopping ten million Liang of silver!"

"We shouldn't expand too rapidly. Firstly, it will attract unnecessary attention, and secondly... it would be challenging to manage and control. After all, we don't have that many suitable hands," Chu Mo advised.

The One-Armed Uncle nodded, "Rest assured, Young Master, I understand."

Chu Mo turned to the middle-aged One-Armed Uncle and said, "Uncle, there is something I'd like to ask your opinion about."

The one-armed man had a name too, it was Sui Hongru, a name carrying profound implications. He was born in a family of scholars but chose the way of martial arts over literature. Chu Mo had become accustomed to calling him One-Armed Uncle, and Sui Hongru had also grown fond of the name.

Sui Hongru looked at Chu Mo and gently smiled, "Young Master, feel free to speak your mind."

There were no servants in Fan Residence, be they maids or elder aunt-like servants. Chu Mo was mostly raised by One-Armed Uncle since childhood, so their bond was remarkably strong!

If this were not the case, how could Chu Mo entrust the management of such a vast fortune to just anyone? His trust in One-Armed Uncle was equivalent to his faith in his grandfather. Despite no blood relation, Chu Mo saw One-Armed Uncle as a family of his own.

Hence, after comprehending some matters, Chu Mo made a decision. If he couldn't lead them to fly higher, why not allow them to soar unrestrictedly in their sky?

From Longevity Heaven to the Prairie and then to Yanhuang City... Chu Mo discovered that there was only one way to be free from the influence of the high and mighty clans; that is, to become stronger than them!

Running... doesn't help.

"Uncle, as you know, my master can concoct high-level elixirs. The condition of Prince Xia Jing was cured by my master." Following the Demon Lord's reminder, Chu Mo had figured out that he should attribute such attention-grabbing affairs, which could lead to lethal consequences, to the absent and mysterious Demon Lord based on his current capability.

Sui Hongru nodded, briefly glanced at his empty right sleeve, and then chuckled bitterly, "I am aware of that matter. However, no elixir, no matter how exceptional it is, could regenerate my lost arm, right?"

Chu Mo said with a bitter smile, "That kind of elixir probably exists only in the Immortal Realm, not in our world."

Sui Hongru laughed heartily. He had come to terms with the loss of his arm over the years. One must always look forward, right? He was content with his life now, even happier than when he was a soldier before losing his arm.

No matter where, a person can be happy as long as they're realizing their potential.

"However, though the arm can't grow back, there is a way to elevate your cultivation to the Golden Stone Realm!" Chu Mo said casually, waiting to see One-Armed Uncle's reaction.

"Ha ha, of course, I've heard of that, the legendary elixir in our world..." Sui Hongru began, and suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Chu Mo somewhat incredulously, "Young Master, you... what do you mean?"

Chu Mo took out a vial of elixir and handed it to Sui Hongru, saying with a smile, "This is the last batch. It's not easy to collect all the ingredients needed to concoct this elixir. I believe that Uncle, when he reaches the Golden Stone Realm, will still be an expert, even with just one arm."

Sui Hongru received the vial instinctively and gazed blankly at Chu Mo, twitching at the corners of his mouth. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the end.

"As for the techniques suitable for the left hand, they wouldn't be easy to find, but you needn't worry," Chu Mo said earnestly, "Whenever the opportunity arises, I will get you a technique suitable for the left hand!"

"Yo... Young Master?"

"Hm?"

"Is what's inside this little bottle really... an elixir that can elevate one to the Golden Stone Realm?"

"What elixir?! It's just a concoction made from the blend of four kinds of medicinal herbs: Breaking Through, Bone Refining, Blood Coagulating, and Gold Transmuting," Chu Mo corrected nonchalantly.

Sui Hongru held the vial of elixir like a cherished possession, looking at Chu Mo as if he was a monster, "Is it as simple as you say? Do you know how many experts are there in Great Xia at the Golden Stone Realm? Are you aware that even a million Liang of gold couldn't buy a vial of such an elixir?"

After this, Sui Hongru's face showed a conflicted expression, and he said, "Young Master, I... I can't accept this elixir!"

"Why?" Chu Mo exclaimed in surprise.

"The old master doesn't have it yet." Sui Hongru spoke softly, "Compared to me, the old master needs it more."

Chu Mo replied, "For grandfather, I have made other arrangements. This one here is for you. I just hope that Uncle doesn't refuse it because by using it, you might lose out on higher potential progression."

"How is that possible?" Sui Hongru widened his eyes in astonishment and looked at Chu Mo, "Have reservations? Who in this world will reject something like this?"

"After all, those who use such an elixir are hardly likely to step into the Heart Refining Realm," Chu Mo added.

"My dear young master... what are you talking about? Not to mention the commoners, even those great clans... how many of them can dare say that they can enter the Heart Refining Realm?" Sui Hongru looked at Chu Mo with disbelief, "You're overthinking!"

Chu Mo smiled bitterly, "Well, I think I understand now."

In the following period, Chu Mo began an exceedingly busy life...
