In Qingshan Town, on the wide and bustling main street.

"Su Mo, let's charge eighteen wen this time for using the ox cart to transport the nine Green Wolves."

Su Mo had come to Qingshan Town again, and had the villagers use an ox cart to transport the nine Green Wolves for him to town, costing a total of eighteen wen.

After paying the ox cart fee, Su Mo pulled the nine Green Wolves to the side to sell them.

"Whoa, this Hunter is here to sell Green Wolf again, and nine Green Wolves at once!"

"It's terrifying!"

"Can't be helped. The tuition at Guande Martial Arts School is too expensive. Many martial arts disciples can't afford to renew their leases, so they have to leave the school. If they want to continue cultivating, they have to go back and gather money."

The other Hunters selling game nearby were startled to see Su Mo arrive again to sell Green Wolf Meat for money. They still vividly remembered when Su Mo brought three Green Wolves to sell previously.

But this time was even more ruthless, bringing nine Green Wolves to sell for money. The Hunters also knew that Su Mo had entered Guande Martial Arts School to train, so they couldn't help but sigh.

"Little Hunter, this Green Wolf Meat is thirty wen per jin. How about I buy it all?"

Because the nine Green Wolves were being sold on the street, they attracted too much attention. Soon, a wealthy family from Qingshan Town took notice of Su Mo's nine Green Wolves.

They even offered a price of thirty wen per jin.

This price was in line with the normal price for Green Wolf Meat.

However, in front of the wealthy family buying the meat, there was a group of young people dressed in fine clothes. The wealthy family was very respectful towards them.

"Okay."

Su Mo readily agreed.

However, he felt a slight surprise when he saw these young people in fine clothes.

"Young Master Fang, I'll pick out a few good Green Wolves later and send them to you."

The wealthy family member who bought the Green Wolf Meat called his steward to pay, then turned to a young man in fine clothes with a fawning and respectful expression.

"Mm!"

The young man in fine clothes nodded. He wasn't very interested in the Green Wolf Meat, but when he saw Su Mo, he said with some surprise:

"Aren't you Yue Haofeng's junior brother? How did you manage to hunt so many Green Wolves? Where did you hunt them?"

This young man in fine clothes was none other than Young Master Fang, Fang Xinwu, whom Su Mo and his group had encountered at Tianxiang Tower before. He was someone Senior Brother Yue Haofeng would immediately yield to upon seeing him. It was said that he was now a disciple of a major sect in Anyuan County Town.

His strength was not bad, possessing a cultivation of the Meridian Opening Realm.

"I hunted the Green Wolves in Qingliang Mountain."

Su Mo took the silver coins from the wealthy family's steward. The nine Green Wolves sold for thirty-five taels and one qian. With this money, he could continue cultivating at Guande Martial Arts School for a long time.

Su Mo replied to Fang Xinwu's question while counting the silver in his hand.

"Qingliang Mountain?"

"Young Master Fang, it's said that the official's Fire Worship Cultist fugitive fled to Qingliang Mountain."

Fang Xinwu's eyes flickered upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that a casual question would reveal that these Green Wolves came from Qingliang Mountain.

A young man beside him spoke in a low voice. He was also a prodigy from Qingshan Town.

Fang Xinwu didn't actually know about the remote place of Qingliang Mountain, but Qingliang Mountain had become quite famous recently in Qingshan Town and even Anyuan County Town.

This was because the wanted Fire Worship Cultist fugitive, who was being sought by the authorities, had fled into Qingliang Mountain after killing many Meridian Opening Realm experts.

He had previously withstood the attacks of several top experts in the Meridian Opening Realm with a body-refining technique he possessed. He could even escape with ease when facing an expert in the Tendon Changing Realm. The body-refining technique he wielded displayed astonishing power, attracting the attention of many Martial Artists.

The authorities in Anyuan County Town wanted to capture this Fire Worship Cultist fugitive, but many sects in Anyuan County Town wanted the body-refining technique he possessed.

As a disciple of a major sect in Anyuan County Town, Fang Xinwu naturally knew about this matter. He even had the idea of joining forces with the prodigies of Qingshan Town to enter Qingliang Mountain to kill this Fire Worship Cultist fugitive and seize the body-refining technique.

Once he obtained this body-refining technique, Fang Xinwu's strength would greatly increase, even reaching invincibility in defense within the same realm.

Su Mo was unaware of these matters. Even if he knew, he wouldn't enter Qingliang Mountain again in the short term, because he feared encountering the fugitive cultist Chou Jinping without being confident of victory.

When his strength became greater, if Chou Jinping was still in Qingliang Mountain, he would definitely enter the mountain again.

After receiving the thirty-five taels of silver, Su Mo quickly returned to Guande Martial Arts School.

"Did you hear? Su Mo is back at the martial arts school!"

Many disciples in the martial arts school were surprised by Su Mo's return. After all, Su Mo had always been quite famous within the school, both in appearance and demeanor, considered one of the best among his peers.

But many disciples knew that Su Mo was a Hunter. Because Su Mo started cultivating at too late an age, even after becoming a Martial Artist, the higher-ups of the school and some influential figures from outside did not focus their sponsorship on him.

Instead, Su Mo's roommate Xie Baolin, as well as Ye Zongsheng and Sha Pengxiao from next door, received sponsorship for their martial arts.

They believed their talent was extraordinary and that their martial arts path would go far, as they were all younger than Su Mo, had better innate talent, and were more malleable.

Su Mo's departure a few days prior was therefore not surprising.

However, they never expected that Su Mo would return to Guande Martial Arts School in just a few days and pay three months' worth of accommodation and medicinal fees at once, which greatly surprised many disciples.

Even for a Martial Artist, obtaining tens of taels of silver in a short period was very difficult, even impossible.

Generally, Martial Artists could become guards or work for escort agencies, but the rewards for Martial Artists in the Body Tempering Realm, especially those in the early or middle stages, were usually not very high, at most five taels of silver per month, which was considered a high price.

After all, although Martial Artists in the Body Tempering Realm were far stronger than ordinary people, they were also the most numerous at this level.

Only by reaching the Meridian Opening Realm would one truly be noticed by some influential figures.

"Su Mo, you're back."

Xie Baolin was very happy about Su Mo's return. Even Ye Zongsheng and Sha Pengxiao from next door came over, showing happy smiles for Su Mo's homecoming.

After all, they had always had a good relationship.

When Su Mo returned, he didn't see Senior Brother Yue Haofeng.

Xie Baolin told him that Senior Brother Yue Haofeng, who shared their dormitory, would not be coming to the martial arts school for a while due to family matters.

Clearly, something significant had happened in Senior Brother Yue Haofeng's family.

"Baolin, has your cultivation broken through to the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm?"

To Su Mo's surprise, after not seeing him for a while, Xie Baolin's cultivation had advanced from the peak of the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm to the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Such cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

It was no wonder that those in the upper echelons of the martial arts school valued Xie Baolin's martial arts talent so highly.

His martial arts talent was in no way inferior to Zhang Hai and Li Goudan, who had been chosen by the Black Eagle Sect, but he certainly couldn't compare to Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian had awakened some kind of special physique, and her innate talent and bone structure had reached an unbelievable level.

Those who possessed special physique bloodlines were, without exception, top-tier geniuses.
