Warrior’s Promise

In the house, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

Su Mo was currently at Lv 6 True Darkness Realm, and his combat strength was equal to that of a Martial King Realm martial artist.

However, this was far from sufficient. In the face of Shangguan Hao, he was still just an insect.

Therefore, he had to upgrade his cultivation level. He planned to visit the Mist Mountains when he reached the Martial King Realm if he still had not found the Blood-striped Seed by then.

However, in addition to the Blood-striped Seed, he still needed the Divine Jade.

He was going to search for it in the Heaven-sea City a few days later.

Time passed by as Su Mo kept cultivating and refining his Dark Force.

The eight Spiritual Spirals ran continuously. The Dark Force went through his meridians from head to toe as he ran one Macrocosmic Orbit after another.

In the blink of an eye, 15 days had passed. His Dark Force had been thoroughly refined, while his cultivation base had become solid.

“It’s high time to level up!”

Su Mo opened his eyes and entered the Divine Map.

A huge pile of Spiritual Stones lay in his courtyard in the Divine Map. They exploded and turned into a spiritual mist, shrouding Su Mo.

Su Mo’s aura continued to rise, and soon after, he reached Peak Lv 6 True Darkness Realm.

Su Mo then started to break through to Lv 7.

The Spiritual Qi was boiling, and the Spiritual Spirals were vibrating.

The spiritual mist gradually dissipated, and it took half a day for it to vanish.

In the courtyard, Su Mo sat quietly, but the aura around his body was as huge as a billow.

It went smoothly this time. He finally reached Lv 7 True Darkness Realm, and his strength surged again.

“I should ask around for the Divine Jade!”

Su Mo sighed, left the Divine Map, and then left the room.

As soon as he walked out of his room, the door of the opposite room opened, and out walked Master Cui.

“Master Su!” he exclaimed and ran up to Su Mo.

“What’s the matter?” asked Su Mo flatly.

“Ha, Master Su, if you need anything, just tell me!” said Master Cui, chuckling. The look on his face was extremely respectful.

“There’s nothing that I need. I’m just going to hang around the city.” Su Mo shook his head.

But Master Cui smiled and said, “Master Su, I am very familiar with Heaven-sea City. I can go with you!”

Su Mo glanced at him and snorted inwardly.

This guy right here might have taken the order from Elder Hu to watch over him and prevent him from leaving the city.

“Alright!”

Su Mo nodded and thought it was indeed more convenient to have a local person guide him.

They then left the inner city of the Sky-sea Pavilion and walked into Heaven-sea City.

Su Mo asked, “Master Cui, aside from the Sky-sea Pavilion, are there any other big shops?”

“Heaven-sea City is really immense. There are thousands of large-scale shops!”

“Take me to them!”

Su Mo had not expected this. It was good news indeed.

The Divine Jade might be inside one of them!

They then visited one shop after another, inquiring about the Divine Jade.

A few hours later, they had visited hundreds of big shops, yet no one there knew about the Divine Jade.

“Alas!”

Su Mo sighed and gave up on his search because it was too late.

And since so many shop owners had not heard of the Divine Jade, there was no point to continue searching.

He had to give up, even though he was unwilling to do so.

Then, Master Cui smiled wickedly and said, “Haha, Master Su, it’s late now. I would like to take you to a good place!”

“And what place is that?” Judging by his smile, Su Mo assumed that it had to be some obscene place!

“An auction room!” Master Cui gave him a weird smile.

“Oh?”

Su Mo was interested in this idea. He could try his luck in the auction room. “Lead the way!”

“Let’s go!”

Master Cui took Su Mo to the east side of the city. They walked extremely fast and arrived there very quickly.

There was a majestic building situated on a busy street.

It looked like a palace, but it was almost 300 meters tall, which was dozens of times taller than a palace, and covered an area of 6,000 hectares.

There were five flamboyant words on the impressive golden signboard above the door—

The Yin Yang Auction House!

Su Mo narrowed his eyes when he saw those words. Compared to the other auction houses, he felt something different here.

It was a busy building and they looked on as a large number of male martial artists rushed through the door.

Master Cui motioned toward the door and said to Su Mo, “Let’s go, Master Su! Haha!”

He then directly walked through it into the auction room.

Su Mo did not think much about it as he followed him inside.

The auction room was huge. The T-shaped platform was 30 meters tall, and there were rows of seats surrounding the platform.

There were hundreds of rows, which made the auction room look spectacular.

On the upper level, there were VIP rooms that were situated along the walls.

At this point, the room was thronged with people and filled with clamor. Su Mo and Master Cui had not reserved a VIP room, so they were seated in the middle.

“Have you heard that there will be a supreme baby auctioned tonight?”

“Yep. Most people have come for her!”

“I heard that the Yin Yang Palace was not going to auction her. But after raising her for a month, they finally decided to do it!”

Countless martial artists talked about the item. All of their faces were beaming, and excitement showed in their eyes.

Many of them had filthy laughter.

Su Mo frowned upon hearing these discussions. He turned his head to Master Cui and asked coldly, “What kind of auction room is this?”

Judging by the expressions and discussions of the others, he could tell that this was no ordinary auction room.
