Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

After the two left, Shen Qianlong opened his eyes once more, and a sharp light flashed across them.

”Could it not be him?”

Shen Qianlong frowned.

Just as the villa’s banquet began, he faintly sensed a power probing with Divine Thought. At first, he thought it was his own illusion, but then he reacted, realizing that with his cultivation and heart realm, it couldn’t possibly be an illusion.

So, he had Shen Tong invite Lin Mo over for a thorough observation. Lin Mo’s cultivation was at the Middle Innate stage, which was quite remarkable for his age, indicating either a powerful family or sect backing him, or a strong master aiding him.

Yet, with only Middle Innate stage cultivation, it was impossible for him to avoid being detected by Divine Thought, so Shen Qianlong believed the one probing with Divine Thought in the Shen Family wasn’t Lin Mo.

As for an Innate Cultivator, though formidable, Shen Qianlong wasn’t concerned, because the Shen Family also had Innate Cultivators.

”Mr. Lin, I promised you, if you could rescue me from Bian Tengjing’s hands, I would give you a treasure.”

Shen Tong suddenly spoke.

”You remember?”

Lin Mo cracked a smile; he himself frankly didn’t take it to heart, given his experience; what treasure hadn’t he seen? Besides, what kind of heaven-defying treasure could a small Shen Family produce?

”I may be just a girl, but compared with you men, I’m not bad either; I do understand the principle of keeping one’s word.”

Shen Tong pursed her lips, striding towards a room in the East Garden, ”That’s my room, come with me and have a look.”

Lin Mo frowned slightly, with a touch of curiosity stirring within him, wondering what treasure Shen Tong might present.

The exterior of the room was very classical, yet the interior was modernly decorated, with the unique fragrance of a girl’s boudoir.

”Mr. Lin, have a look at this item, whether it can exceed the gratitude for saving me!”

Shen Tong bit her silver teeth, seemingly somewhat reluctant, as she flipped her palm open, a peculiar fragrance emanated suddenly, filling the room.

”This is...”

Lin Mo’s eyes widened, and casually deployed an array to envelop the room, preventing the peculiar fragrance from leaking and blocking external Divine Thought probing. He saw a small earth-yellow flower in Shen Tong’s fair, tender hand, suffused with an earth-yellow glow, as if it was a lifelike flower carved out of stone. It had three petals, and the peculiar fragrance was precisely emanating from them.

”This is the most valuable thing I own, given to you as compensation for saving me, and now we are square!”

Shen Tong blinked, a hint of reluctance evident on her pretty face.

Lin Mo took the tiny flower from her hand and examined it carefully; a crafty light flickered deep within his eyes, ”This is the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf.”

”What Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf, I don’t know what this thing is called.” Shen Tong frowned her willow leaf eyebrows together, her face showing a confused expression.

”It’s merely a material for alchemy, the grade should be Yellow Rank Eighth Grade, considered a decent material, containing pure Earth attribute spiritual energy within,”

Lin Mo remarked blandly.

”A Yellow Rank Eighth Grade alchemy material?”

Shen Tong’s eyes widened, licking her lips and clenching her fists, saying, ”No wonder those people wanted to attack me, it turns out it’s for this thing, Yellow Rank Eighth Grade!”

”You said you got attacked by others when you harvested this Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf?”

Lin Mo asked.

”Otherwise, how do you think I ended up falling into the sea and being caught by Bian Tengjing? At least within my Shen Family’s domain, he wouldn’t dare be so presumptuous.” Shen Tong thought of this, biting her teeth in resentment.

”Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf usually grows only in places where Earth attribute spiritual energy is concentrated to the extreme, or even around pure Earth attribute items, could it be...”

Lin Mo frowned, pondering silently; suddenly, his eyes shone brightly.

”Could it be possible to find the pure energy body of the Earth attribute this time?”

Currently, Lin Mo had already collected Wood and Fire element pure energy bodies, desiring to refine the Five Elements Soul Gathering Pill. Yet, three materials were still lacking. If he could find the Earth element pure energy body in Australia, it would absolutely be a huge gain for Lin Mo.

Compared to the heaven-defying items obtained from the Eastern Emperor Bell, he preferred acquiring the other three pure elemental materials. Only curing his mother’s illness was of utmost importance.

”A Yellow Rank Eighth Grade material, if sold on the black market, could fetch at least three to four hundred top-grade spirit stones.” Shen Tong’s pretty face revealed a hint of distress.

It’s noteworthy that within the Shen Family, the top-grade spirit stones only numbered in the thousands, and they were all safeguarded by the ancestor. Only outstanding Shen Family disciples had the precious opportunity to receive the ancestor’s reward.

A few hundred top-grade spirit stones were indeed a significant number for both Shen Tong and the Shen Family.

”Black market?” Lin Mo tossed the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf back to Shen Tong, ”This item is indeed precious to you, whereas for me, it’s worthless. Tell me what the black market is and how to get there?”

Shen Tong grabbed the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf with a startled look, ”What, you don’t want the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf, I cannot produce anything more valuable to repay you, unless I marry you.”

Despite saying this, Shen Tong secretly displayed a mischievous joy; she had long guessed Lin Mo would certainly scorn the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf, given this fellow dared to plunder the Yin Yang Demon Sect Hell Spiritual Veins, how could he fancy items worth a few hundred top-grade spirit stones?

Yet, for Shen Tong, a few hundred top-grade spirit stones were sufficient to buy many materials and elixirs needed for cultivation.

”Black market, impossible!”

Shen Tong collected the smile on her pretty face, shaking her head and saying, ”Not everyone can enter the black market, and it particularly excludes outsiders; I can’t take you there.”

”Then give me the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf!”

Lin Mo said coldly.

”I only said that going to the black market is challenging, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way.” Shen Tong smiled with crescent eyes, quickly retrieving the Earth Rainbow Illusion Leaf back into her space ring.

”Heh heh,” Lin Mo chuckled, shaking his head.

”Tonight, I’m cultivating here, figure out a way to take me to the black market tomorrow,” Lin Mo said, immediately sitting cross-legged, breathing to cultivate, consolidating his cultivation level without waiting for Shen Tong to speak.

Shen Tong pursed her lips; although taking an outsider into the black market was difficult, it wasn’t entirely impossible, better than losing a few hundred top-grade spirit stones in vain.

The Shen Family’s Mountain Villa, the hosts and guests dispersed in pleasure.

The villa returned to its serene state.

”Sis, it hurts!”

In a room on the southern side of the villa, a young man lay shirtless on a bed, grimacing in pain.

”Hmph, normally you don’t train properly, now you get beaten and know the pain?” Next to the bed was a woman around twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a dignified countenance but slightly mature and charming. Her left hand held a white porcelain bottle, dripping the emerald green liquid onto the young man’s wounded back, gently kneading; the warmth of spiritual energy surrounded the kneaded area, visibly fading the injury.

This young man was none other than Shen Guanyang, who had just been beaten by Lin Mo.

The enchanting woman beside him was Shen Guanyang’s elder sister, Shen Zongwen.

”Sis, you’re my real sister; how can you not feel sorry seeing your brother getting beaten?” Shen Guanyang winced in pain.

”If I hadn’t begged for mercy on your behalf, Dad might have imprisoned you,”

Shen Zongwen frowned slightly, shaking her head.

”That guy is just depending on his friendship with Shen Tong, otherwise, the ancestor would have come out long ago to handle him for daring to cause trouble in our Shen Family... Sis, you’re the Shen Family’s genius too; the ancestor seems to favor Shen Tong a bit more heavily,” Shen Guanyang grumbled unhappily.

Wonderful events will continue tomorrow.
