Su Mo left the little rundown house, glanced back, and slowly shook his head.
For some reason, compassion had stirred in him after all.
He had seen that the little girl Qing Yi truly possessed a Spiritual Root of outstanding talent. He had never imagined someone could develop an affinity for plants simply by taking medicine and reading books.
Or perhaps the girl had always possessed a talent for cultivation, and no one had ever discovered it.
Phoenix Woman and the Void Beast came up to him, their gazes questioning.
Su Mo looked at the Void Beast, who immediately understood his meaning, nodded, then turned and vanished into the void.
"Are you really planning to take a disciple?" Phoenix Woman asked.
There was nothing wrong with a Spirit Transformation cultivator taking a disciple. Far too many people in this world spent their entire lives without any hope of reaching Spirit Transformation, and countless others could not even reach Nascent Soul.
A Spirit Transformation cultivator as young as Su Mo was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Becoming the disciple of a Spirit Transformation cultivator was already something people could only gaze upon without ever reaching, much less the disciple of one so young.
But Su Mo carried far too much on his shoulders. How could he have time to guide a disciple?
Su Mo shook his head without speaking. He had his own plans.
"Let's go..." Su Mo said slowly.
Phoenix Woman nodded. "Where?"
"Into the Mortal World to seek the Dao!" A smile long absent appeared on Su Mo's face.
"What about Big Strong?" Phoenix Woman turned and asked.
"I've arranged a little task for it..."
"..."
Golden light flared, and the power of Confucian Dao Rules surged forth. The two figures vanished on the spot.
