Chapter 74: Windfall!

  Standing in the empty courtyard, Su Ming's gaze fell on the tightly closed door of the second house. He walked step by step without any hesitation and pushed open the door when he reached it.

  At the moment the door was pushed open, Su Ming heard a low growl, followed by a green figure raising its arms, and a burst of murderous and deadly aura rushed towards him.

  Su Ming's eyes flashed, his expression unchanged. When his cultivation was not higher than the opponent's, he dared to take action and destroy the opponent's affairs. Now that his cultivation was far superior to this person, coupled with the other's persistent weakness, and it being midnight, how could he be afraid? Almost as soon as the green figure appeared, Su Ming lifted his right foot and stomped it violently on the ground!

  His entire body's one hundred and sixty bloodlines suddenly erupted, forming a strong pressure that didn't retreat in the slightest. With just this pressure, he forced his way towards the incoming green figure.

  That green figure was suppressed by Su Ming's aura, and suddenly collapsed, turning into a sprinkling of green crystal lights that scattered everywhere, illuminating the originally dark room.

  Wu Sen's hair was disheveled, his face deathly pale, and he sat cross-legged in the house, staring intently at Su Ming. There were fresh bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, clearly a result of him forcibly casting a savage spell the moment Su Ming arrived. However, this spell had no effect on Su Ming whatsoever, and instead, as it was broken, Wu Sen ended up with injuries.

  "Mo Su!!" Wu Sen's eyes flashed with unwillingness and madness, letting out a low growl.

  Su Ming's expression remained calm, not minding Wu Sen's madness in the slightest. He lifted his foot and walked into the house, separating himself from Wu Sen by several zhangs, looking at him coldly.

  "It seems you've really weakened, even the attendants who provided you with life-sustaining blood are nowhere to be seen." Su Ming spoke slowly, his voice neither fast nor slow.

  Wu Sen's face turned green with veins bulging, and his expression was bitter. The sound of the courtyard door earlier made him suspicious as soon as he heard it. He only heard the sound but couldn't feel any presence or aura, as if the gate had opened by itself without anyone pushing it.

  But he had a strong sense of crisis, especially when the door of his house was also pushed open. The feeling suddenly became intense to the extreme, and he didn't care about anything and launched a brutal technique. However, the brutal technique failed, and just as he was about to rush out of the house, he saw the face of the person outside the door.

  After seeing clearly, he gave up rushing out, because the person who came was Mo Su, that Mo Su who made him extremely suspicious but did not dare to provoke!

  Along with Ye Wang's reputation, he personally saw what it means to be a phoenix rising from the ashes. Under such scorching sun, Wu Sen could only feel bitter. But Wu Sen was not stupid, on the contrary, he was extremely clever. He faintly guessed the other party's intention for coming here, but somehow didn't dare to believe it.

  "You've taken away my source of strength, leaving me weak at all times. With my identity and past oppression towards them, once they find out I'm weakened, it won't be good for me!" Wu Sen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, the blue veins on his face had dispersed, and his expression had somewhat recovered.

  Wu Sen recovered so quickly, without the anger and resentment of just now, and there was no hidden meaning in his words, but he directly spoke out about his own weakness, which made Su Ming have some admiration for him.

  "Wu had wronged him in the past and hoped that Mo would not take it to heart." Wu Sen said, standing up from his cross-legged position and bowing to Su Ming.

  Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, but his impression of Wu Sen deepened a lot. He looked at Wu Sen, who was also staring back at him. The two men gazed at each other for a long time before Su Ming suddenly smiled.

  "Dealing with clever people is indeed convenient, you name the price."

  Wu Sen suppressed his excitement, he had long since lost the thought of finding trouble with his opponent. In his opinion, he no longer had this qualification, his cultivation was not as high as his opponent's, and his reputation was even worse. Especially according to his analysis, this person would likely be taken in by the Barbarian King soon and receive training in their Wind Pavilion tribe. He didn't want to continue being an enemy with someone like that.

  His only hope now is to get back the source blood and let his cultivation recover as soon as possible, after all, after dawn, it will be the second trial, which is extremely important for him.

  "I don't know what Mo brother wants? I only have one barbaric device, but it's paired with my barbaric technique, and it was given by Ah Gong, so I can't exchange it..." Wu Sen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly. In his opinion, the importance of the source blood was several times higher than that of the barbaric device, but he didn't dare to exchange it with this thing. After all, all the barbaric devices belonged to the tribe, not to individuals.

  "I don't want the barbarian instrument, let's trade with stone coins instead. Five thousand stones, and this thing is yours!" Su Ming said, taking out a small bottle from his bosom. The moonlight thread on it dispersed instantly when he touched the bottle with his hand, without anyone noticing.

  Staring at the small bottle, Wu Sen's heart was racing, but after hearing Su Ming's words, he let out a bitter laugh.

  "Moye, I...I only have a little over 3,000 stones..."

  Su Ming didn't say a word, but quietly looked at Wu Sen. After a while, he silently put the small bottle back into his bosom and slowly opened his mouth.

  "Well then, let's wait until Brother Wu has enough stone coins and come find me again."

  Wu Sen's expression immediately became anxious. If he could get the source blood tonight, there was still hope tomorrow. But if he couldn't get it today, then by dawn of the second day, everything would fall apart.

  Moreover, he didn't even know how to find this mysterious Mo Su. If the other party left, even if he got enough stone coins, it would be difficult for him to exchange them back for source blood.

  "Wait... Brother Mo, how about this? You wait here for a moment, I'll go out and collect some stone coins right away. At most an hour, I will definitely come back. Will you... will you wait for me for an hour?" Wu Sen said hastily.

  Su Ming furrowed his brow, glanced at Wu Sen, and then ignored him, turning to leave. He couldn't be foolish enough to wait here, as Wu Sen might have other thoughts in mind, Su Ming remained cautious.

  "Moke brother, wait!! I really only have 3,300 stone coins. Like this, if I add this item, what do you think?" Wu Sen hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, seemingly gritting his teeth, and retrieved a wooden box from the corner of a nearby house.

  In front of Su Ming, he was reluctant in his heart, opened this thing, and saw that there was a purple seven-leaf grass in the wooden box.

  This leaf is quite peculiar, with each leaf divided into seven branches, and so on in sequence. At first glance, it can't help but give a sense of clutter.

  "These seven heart grasses are extremely rare and I obtained them unintentionally, they're worth several thousand stone coins!" Wu Sen looked at Su Ming and handed them over.

  Su Ming's heart immediately accelerated as soon as he saw the herb, and after taking it over, he carefully looked at it again to confirm that this was indeed one of the two unknown herbs used in refining Nan Lidian.

  Su Ming covered the wooden box without changing his expression, looking at Wu Sen as if hesitating.

  Wu Sen was extremely nervous, after a long time, when he saw Su Ming nodding, the excitement on his face could not be concealed, and he hastily took out enough white stone coins, all of which were one hundred in number, put them into a bag, and respectfully handed it over to Su Ming.

  Su Ming took a look and confirmed that everything was correct, then handed the small bottle over to Wu Sen.

  "Your original blood is very valuable, don't lose it again." Su Ming looked at him with profound meaning, turned around and walked out of the room, sinking into the moonlight, disappearing into the darkness.

  Wu Sen held the small bottle, gazing at Su Ming's departing figure, his expression changing unpredictably. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh and completely abandoned the idea of looking for trouble with him.

  In Wu Shanbu's residence, Su Ming looked at the more than 30 white stone coins in his hand, and he was quite excited. He had never owned so much money before. Looking at the scattered white stone coins, Su Ming couldn't help but pick them up one by one, constantly looking at them. The feeling of acquiring such a large amount of wealth was almost as thrilling as when he was previously admired by everyone.

  From almost empty pockets to suddenly having so many stone coins, Su Ming felt a sense of wealth and grandeur, after all, this was the most money he had in his possession at present.

  "If Lei Chen knew that I had so many stone coins, he would be tongue-tied and disbelieving." Su Ming's face revealed a hint of youthful pride, mainly because this large sum of money felt like it was obtained effortlessly, without paying too much of a price. This was vastly different from when he sold a Qingchen San for 100 stone coins back then.

  "Still, Ou Sen is quite wealthy. As a proud son of the Wind Pavilion, it's understandable that he has these savings. However, after this transaction with me, I estimate that there won't be much left." Su Ming thought that Ou Sen probably didn't have just this amount of stone coins, but what was left shouldn't be much either.

  As for the future troubles, Su Ming had already thought it through. Firstly, his cultivation level must be higher than Wu Sen's, so even if they met during the day, it wouldn't matter. Most importantly, Wu Sen didn't know that Mo Su was actually Su Ming, and he had no way of finding out. From this perspective, as long as Su Ming's identity wasn't exposed, he would be safe.

  Besides, whether Ou Sen dares to look for trouble himself is still a question. It's even very possible that Ou Sen will endure this and not want to provoke him, after all, Ou Sen isn't a fool and knows when to advance or retreat.
