Chapter 34: Hundredfold Return System
Su family.
In recent days, the Su family had received strict orders—to open up resources, strive for cultivation improvement, and elevate their own strengths. Many members of the Su family had advanced by at least one level in their cultivation, and even the Qianqiu Sect reaped some benefits as a result.
Su Zeduan hadn't forgotten about them. Since they had pledged allegiance to the Su family and had carried out tasks for the Qianqiu Sect, he rewarded them generously. For those genuinely loyal to the Su family's cause, he never spared his resources.
Furthermore, with the growth of the Qianqiu Sect's power, their assistance to the Su family became increasingly significant. After all, there were situations in which the Qianqiu Sect could intervene more effectively than the Su family could.
As for the fear of betrayal? Su Zeduan wasn't concerned at all. Even if someone did betray, he could simply replace them. There was nothing to worry about.
The Back Mountain.
Following the incident at the Qingyi Pavilion, Su Xun's luck value had risen to over a million points. It wasn't that the Qingyi Pavilion's luck value was limited to that amount; it was just that the current state of the Su family could not bear more luck.
This was akin to the principle of a barrel. What use was a taller barrel? The deciding factor was always the shortest plank.
Currently, the Su family could only accommodate a bit more than a million points of luck.
Looking at the luck value exceeding a million, Su Xun pondered for a moment before deciding to bestow it upon the several senior elders of the Su family. While this allocation was enough for Su Zerui and the ten senior elders, he wasn't aware of the most suitable system for them.
The ten senior elders could potentially be granted a return system, but considering Su Zerui, that might not be ideal. Oh well, he would give the ten senior elders the return system for now. As for Su Zerui, he would inquire about his preferences later. There was no rush, and the issue of Su Mo's side hadn't been addressed yet.
Thus, he purchased ten Hundredfold Return Systems and installed them on the ten senior elders of the Su family.
The ten senior elders had strong capacities for adaptation, and they swiftly learned how to utilize the system. In the days that followed, the Su family witnessed such scenes.
"Child, come here. This is a small gift from this old man."
"This is for you. May you cultivate diligently and contribute to the family!"
"And me, too!"
Several elders competed to present gifts, each appearing as if not accepting them would lead to a fallout with him. As for why it was like this…
It was because the rewards weren't solely determined by luck; they also depended on the recipient's aptitude and fortune. The child before him possessed talents not weaker than those of Su Xinger and her peers. Naturally, he became an esteemed guest of the major elders.
Helplessly, the man could only accept. In the past couple of days, all ten elders had given him items.
People below heard the rumors and believed that the Patriarch intended to hand over the position of Young Master to him. It had gone to the extent that quite a few were privately calling him Young Master. Even his parents thought so.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for sending a Fourth-Rank Intermediate Elixir, Soul-Nurturing Pill. It triggers a fifty-fold critical strike. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Sixth-Rank Primary Elixir, Purple Sun Pill.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for sending a Fourth-Rank High-Grade Spiritual Herb, Channel-Expanding Grass. It triggers a fifty-five-fold critical strike. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Sixth-Rank Primary Spiritual Herb, Frostfire Herb.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for sending a ten-square-meter storage ring. It triggers a thirty-fold critical strike. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a three-hundred-square-meter storage ring.]
Seeing the returned rewards, the several elders burst into hearty laughter.
However, in the midst of their laughter, they started thinking about the unusual circumstances.
"You guys…" The words of the several elders hadn't been fully spoken, but with just an exchanged glance, they all grasped the general situation.
They knew in their hearts; it seemed to be related to that person from the rear mountain. Nevertheless, they tacitly understood each other, and that was sufficient.
In just a few days, nearly all of the several elders had reached the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm. After all, their system focused on enhancing their own strength, unlike the Patriarch, whose emphasis was on summoning powerful individuals.
However, breaking through to the True Martial Realm probably required some time. This was, after all, a major bottleneck in cultivation. Many people were stuck at this point, but it shouldn't be a problem for them, especially since the system had stated that as long as they were willing to work hard, reaching the Enlightenment Realm was only a matter of time.
Hexi Prefecture, Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.
A young man in luxurious attire entered the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, carrying a sword, exuding an air of chivalry.
"I'd like to meet the person in charge of your Chamber of Commerce." Jiang Ce expressed his purpose to the incoming staff.
Judging by Jiang Ce's demeanor and attire, the attendant believed this young master wasn't an ordinary person. Therefore, he led him into a VIP room and went to summon Shen Wansan.
Shen Wansan was busy with a myriad of tasks, initially inclined to refuse, but considering there was no harm in seeing what the matter was, he headed to the VIP room.
As Shen Wansan entered the VIP room, he spotted a sword placed beside.
"Is this the Frost Light Sword?"
Shen Wansan personally auctioned the Frost Light Sword, so he remembered it distinctly.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the young man, but he couldn't discern anything. It seemed this youth had a precious item protecting him from prying eyes.
Was this youth returning an item? Or did he have some other purpose? Shen Wansan couldn't determine the visitor's intent.
"Young master, I've heard that you wish to see me. May I know the reason?" Shen Wansan opened his mouth with a genial smile, personally pouring tea for Jiang Ce.
"It's like this—I am acquainted with your Miss Xinger. I've come this time to meet her. I wonder if you could accommodate my request?" Jiang Ce pondered for a moment. They had met before, so it wouldn't be considered deceitful, right?
"Well… alright!" Shen Wansan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Although he was skeptical, ultimately, he was someone who worked for money. The final decision was up to the person in charge. He immediately went upstairs to inform Su Xinger about the matter.
"Acquainted?" Su Xinger felt baffled. She had spent these years cultivating within the family. She didn't remember having any acquaintances.
She promptly checked.
"Half-Step Heavenly Origin Realm. Late Earth Martial Realm."
Su Xinger was amazed by her findings. Unexpectedly, her perception had caught a big fish.
The old man had a wine gourd hanging from his waist, wandering around the merchandise shelves. His gaze, however, wasn't fixed on the items displayed but seemed to be faintly locking onto the VIP room where the young man was. It was likely he was the young man's guardian.
Normally, she didn't deliberately sense the visitors of the Chamber of Commerce. Many times, she took a casual approach—after all, the name of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce spoke for itself.
Old Longevity Hangs Himself? Is he so impatient with life that he'd stir up trouble here?
However, the young man's face seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. Yet, she couldn't recall where.
Su Xinger reviewed the people she had met since descending the mountain.
"It's him!" Su Xinger finally recalled.
However, the seemingly not-too-bright youth turned out to be a hidden individual as well. This was intriguing.
Su Xinger decided to meet him in person. Perhaps there might be some unexpected gains.
