"You spent so many points just to make this thing?"
Yang Hongying was hopping mad.
Li Mo held a red, green, and black chain. He refined it with meteorite, jade stone essence, and Ye Xiaolu's resentment.
"What's the point of this broken chain?
Why did you spend so many points?
Now I regret listening to you. "
Yang Hongying glared at Li Mo.
She listened to Li Mo's words and sold the soul stone for the Underworld Grass. She shut herself in her room for the past few days and was disappointed to find the Underworld Grass withered without a trace of life in it.
"Let me see the Underworld Grass."
Yang Hongying placed the Underworld Grass before Li Mo.
"I'll keep it for now."
"You can revive it?"
"Of course."
Yang Hongying's face lit up, "How long will it take?"
"Eighty years at the earliest, two centuries at the latest."
Yang Hongying's smile froze.
"Is that a long time?
That's fast enough. This Underworld Grass has yet to bloom or bear fruit. It's a fine stalk. The longer it grows, the better the fruit it bears. "
"Are you kidding me? Eighty years, two centuries?
Even an expert's lifespan is only ten or twenty years longer than a normal human! "
"Eighty years? How can I live that long?"
Yang Hongying rolled her eyes in anger.
"Your soul power isn't weak. As long as you know how to cultivate, living two or three centuries won't be a problem."
"Do you have a knife?"
"I have one in the kitchen."
Yang Hongying ran to the kitchen.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to kill you! My soul stone! I worked so hard for so many years just to get one! It's all your fault for making me trade it for this!" Yang Hongying shrieked.
"The value of this Underworld Grass is many times higher than that Soul Stone, which isn't even Rank 1. How can you say that you've made a loss?"
Yang Hongying held her head as she screamed.
"You're saying you want the Underworld Grass to bear fruit as soon as possible?"
"Of course!"
"It's not impossible to do it as soon as possible, but if we do that, the Underworld River Fruit's potency will only be one-twentieth of normal."
"A twentieth?
Even if it's just one percent, I still want to see the fruit now. You liar, you big liar. "
"Do you really want to eat now?"
Li Mo took the Underworld Grass.
"Of course, I want to eat right now, right now!"
"Just a moment."
Li Mo entered the study with the Underworld Grass.
Yang Hongying sat on the sofa and sulked.
Half an hour later, Li Mo came out sweating. He held a few black fruits in his hand, as well as some Underworld Grass with a hint of green on its stem.
Yang Hongying stood up in shock.
"Of the two fruits, I'll keep one as a reward. Take the Underworld River Grass and Underworld River Fruit."
"Really?"
Yang Hongying accepted the fruit and sniffed it a few times, upon which her eyes immediately lit up. Even though she had never seen an Underworld River Fruit before, just sniffing it a few times was enough to boost her soul power.
Yang Hongying consumed the Infernal River Fruit, and in the blink of an eye, soul power that was visible to the naked eye began to circulate around her body.
Manifesting soul power was something only a third level soul cultivator could do. One Underworld River Fruit took Yang Hongying from the second level to the peak of the third level.
Yang Hongying tried many times to change the shape of her soul power, but she was so close.
Manifesting soul power was a skill only a fourth level soul cultivator could do!
Just a step, just a little bit more …
Yang Hongying was in a daze.
"After you eat the Underworld River Fruit, this Underworld River Grass with a weaker soul power won't have any effect on you. Don't eat it again to avoid wasting it."
"If I eat it in eighty years … will I become a fourth level soul cultivator?" Yang Hongying trembled.
"Early fifth level shouldn't be a problem."
Yang Hongying shivered.
"H-why didn't you tell me earlier?
You … ahhhh, I'm such an idiot, ahhhh … "
Yang Hongying clutched her head and shrieked.
The higher the level of strength, the greater the disparity. A Level One expert might still stand a chance against a Level Two expert, but a Level Two expert against a Level Three expert, the difference was like an adult armed with a weapon against a toddler. As the levels went up, the disparity in strength became even more ridiculous.
A Level 5 powerhouse could withstand a nuclear explosion and not die, while a Level 4 powerhouse could only defend against bullets at most, and they could only defend against non-vital parts, such as the eyes, throat, and lower body. They still couldn't defend.
"How did you do it?
You aren't even as strong as me … "
"It must be that soul item!" Yang Hongying's eyes shined.
"Name your price … never mind."
Yang Hongying waved her hand. 'What a joke. A soul item that can increase one's level in an instant. Can it be measured in money?'
"There's no justice in this world. How could such a good soul armament fall into your hands? Why isn't it mine …"
Li Mo said, "Do you really want that soul item?"
"En, as long as it's within my power."
"Use your Yang clan's Heavenly Dao Tea Tree to trade."
Yang Hongying's eyes shined, "Really?"
"Of course."
"Ha-ha, good. You can't go back on your word."
"Of course. I, Li Mo, am a man of my word."
"Good, good, good. But how will I know if the soul item is real or fake after the trade?"
"You can keep looking for Underworld Grass and grow it yourself. If it doesn't work, there's no need for the trade."
Li Mo didn't have a soul item, but it wasn't hard for him to give Yang Hongying a soul item that could grow Underworld Grass.
"Alright, just you wait. I will go get the Heavenly Dao Tea Tree. You can't go back on your word."
"I won't."
"Ha-ha-ha, good."
Yang Hongying left in a hurry.
"Does the Yang clan have more than one Heavenly Dao Tea Tree?"
Yang Hongying's answer was so quick that Li Mo found it hard to believe.
In terms of value, a hundred ripe Underworld Fruits couldn't even compare to a single Heavenly Dao Tea Tree.
Ye Xiaolu was wearing a cute top that exposed her belly button and a pair of denim shorts. She was munching on an apple as she walked out of the study.
"That woman's personality is terrible. Why bother with her? If it were me, I would've kicked her out long ago."
Li Mo eyed her, "It's best if you use Qingyi's body sparingly."
"Why not?
I'm using it perfectly. Do you know how long it's been since I've eaten? It's so f * cking good. "
"Are you really a superstar?"
"Yeah."
"A superstar's mouth is full of vulgarities?"
"I'm famous. Even if I curse in public, they'll just say I have a personality."
Ye Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Li Mo and crossed her legs. She took a grape from the fruit platter on the table and popped it in her mouth, reveling in it.
"By the way, why did you tell me to use Qingyi's body sparingly? Are there any side effects?"
"The more your soul attaches to this body, the more it rejects Qingyi. Didn't you notice how depressed the lass has been these past few days?"
Ye Xiaolu was startled, "I didn't know you cared so much."
Li Mo put away the chain and was about to return to the study when his phone rang.
It was Du Fei.
