Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 407 - 203 Shadow Flying South_3

Su Mo was momentarily stunned.

"Yes."

Little Situ nodded: "But it can’t withstand Third Uncle’s constant elixir-making every three years.

"After three years, another three years, and then another three years.

"Now in the alchemy room of Third Uncle’s backyard, there is a large cauldron.

"Inside the cauldron are all Immortality Rejuvenation Pills.

"Xuanhu Pavilion is located in a hidden place, even if relatives and friends get some bumps and bruises, they rarely need such a thing, so they ended up storing it all."

"..."

After a moment, Su Mo couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask how old Third Uncle is?"

"Third Uncle, he’s almost one hundred and twenty years old. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"He ranks as the third eldest person in our Xuanhu Pavilion."

One hundred and twenty years old... and still the third eldest?

This Xuanhu Pavilion might as well be called Changshou Village.

Nevertheless, this healing task has come to an end here indeed; Little Situ mentioned that the person was severely injured, and though Immortality Rejuvenation Pill is indeed a miraculous healing elixir, there was a concern that the person might not withstand its potency.

Taking half a pill was just right.

Thus, this night came to an end, the sky brightened outside, and the youngsters and elderly in the mountain stronghold barely slept a wink.

They all got up, gathered the things prepared the night before, and lined up in the yard.

Su Mo couldn’t help but smile and cry at the sight, summoning Captain Li, who started preparing rice with his men.

No matter how hurried they were, they had to eat breakfast before leaving.

After breakfast, they took the injured along, and only then did Su Mo lead everyone forward on their journey.

They walked for a full day, only reaching a nearby town at dusk.

By asking the innkeeper, they learned that there was an empty residence in town. After inquiring about the owner, Su Mo had Wei Ziyi and Captain Li, along with Hu Sandao, handle this matter.

The trio returned shortly, having settled the matter.

The homeowner was a significant figure in the town who had just moved to a new home.

The old residence was left vacant, without an immediate use in mind.

Wei Ziyi and Captain Li were recognized as martial experts from Jianghu at first glance, and their request was readily accepted.

But Hu Sandao’s demeanor screamed of a fierce bandit from the mountains.

The homeowner was startled, almost thinking they were there to rob him.

Realizing later that they merely intended to rent his house, he agreed immediately, almost without accepting a dime.

In the end, it was Wei Ziyi who spoke up, insisting on paying a fair price, and after settling, the homeowner continuously expressed his gratitude.

As if he had received some great benefit.

Su Mo, listening in silence for a while, made detailed inquiries, found that there had been no discourtesy in the process, and Wei Ziyi had subtly revealed her identity as a disciple of Lengyue Palace, ensuring full safety.

Su Mo then nodded.

A fair price paid, it wasn’t taking advantage of anyone.

With Wei Ziyi revealing her identity as a disciple of Lengyue Palace, it ensured that the women, children, and elderly would not hold a grudge and be mistreated by the homeowner.

Though this might be presuming the worst of a decent man.

However, the human heart is unpredictable and not to be underestimated.

Thus, this matter finally came to a temporary conclusion, and they continued on their journey the next day.

From Hu’s group, only Hu Sandao continued with the troupe.

The rest stayed behind in the small town, taking care of everything.

From then on, the journey was uneventful.

The only thing worth mentioning was that Hu Sandao’s true nature was hard to change, and his bandit habits were still deeply ingrained.

Though he always remembered he was now a squad member of the escort agency, occasionally, upon seeing a potential roadblock, he would search for ’fat sheep’ to rob, and it took him a while to realize,

Oh, I am that ’fat sheep’!

Or else when bandits fiercely emerged from the opposing mountain, he would stand defiantly in front of the escort group, preemptively shouting:

"Hey! I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, leave behind some money for the road!

"If you dare say no, Grandpa here will kill without burying!"

His brazen speech was forceful, leaving the opposing bandits dumbfounded for a long time, their leader pondered a while and then nodded:

"You’re right."

Some, upon hearing this, instinctively wanted to flee.

After regaining their senses, they were enraged; Are you the bandit, or am I the bandit?

Is there no justice in this world anymore? Do we not follow the king’s law anymore?

This incident truly turned into a significant joke.

A journey of more than ten days passed in this process.

Yet, the person who was supposed to wake up had still not fully regained consciousness up to this day.

That day, as the evening fell,

Su Mo and the others found an old inn to stay in.

While eating in the courtyard, Wei Ziyi came back from wandering outside.

She sat down next to Su Mo and whispered softly:

"There’s news about Yu Liu Sword Heart outside."

"Tell me in detail."

"After Yu Liu Sword Heart entered Dongcheng, he paid no attention to small Sects, aiming only at the Seven Great Sects.

"In this period, he has visited Tianxin Sect, Zhenwu Hall, and Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"Three battles, three victories, each battle ended with a single sword strike.

"After one sword strike, the victor was clear."

Wei Ziyi, also a swordsman, couldn’t help but show a yearning look on her face when mentioning this.

Su Mo’s eyebrows slightly raised:

"Who were those who fought against him?"

"I knew you would ask that."

Wei Ziyi smiled: "The Seven Great Sects are renowned; although Yu Liu Sword Heart is highly skilled, he still hails from the Southwest, so naturally, the Sect Leaders wouldn’t attend personally.

"The Tianxin Sect was represented by their leading contemporary disciple.

"The one from Zhenwu Hall was the Third Elder.

"Xiaoyao Pavilion even had the Vice Pavilion Master step forward.

"Yet, the results were no different.

"Now, everyone outside is saying that Yu Liu Sword Heart’s swordsmanship is becoming more formidable.

"Some even suspect that he has modified his Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword technique again.

"Only, exactly what changes he made, nobody knows since he hasn’t disclosed it.

"Also, there’s another matter..."

"What is it?"

Su Mo knew she was teasing him, but he allowed it this time.

Hearing Su Mo’s follow-up question, Wei Ziyi felt thoroughly satisfied:

"The Tianqu Sword Competition, someone has secretly opened bets.

"Of course, the odds of winning or losing have become the key focus.

"Some who bet on Wan Cangxin winning can’t bear Liu Suifeng’s successive victories.

"Presumably, as Yu Liu Sword Heart gets closer to Tianqu City, the road will likely become even tougher."
