Chapter 1800: Chapter 1800 - Exposed

This day, Su Zimo was cultivating in the straw hut when his ears twitched and he heard a commotion outside.

Many chaotic footsteps were speeding over.

“Here it comes!”

Su Zimo opened his eyes slowly. Rising, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Duan Tianliang was running over, panting with a nervous expression. By the time he arrived before Su Zimo, he was already drenched in sweat.

“Boss Su, bad news! The mistress knows about this and is rushing over!”

Duan Tianliang panted and said.

Su Zimo glanced at Duan Tianliang.

Duan Tianliang shuddered and waved it off hurriedly. “Boss Su, it wasn’t me who leaked the news! The immortal herbs in these spirit fields had grown so quickly and finely that it was only time before the mistress knew about it!”

Right then, a group of figures appeared in the distance.

Their leader was none other than the young mistress of Snow Wind Ridge, Xia Qingying!

Commander Liang Qiu was still following closely behind Xia Qingying. He had a dark expression and sneered at Su Zimo.

Many medicinal farmers surrounded Xia Qingying and Old Yan was among them, looking at Su Zimo with worried eyes.

Xia Qingying had not changed much after a year.

She looked at the Essence Nourishing Grass and Rain Frost Flower that were about to ripen in the spirit fields and her eyes lit up.

She had been here personally a year ago and witnessed with her own eyes that the immortal herbs in the spirit field had been destroyed!

However, in just a year, the immortal herbs in the spirit fields had already grown so well!

Initially, when Xia Qingying heard the rumors, she merely smiled indifferently and ignored them, thinking that the medicinal farmers were spouting nonsense.

However, during this period of time, the news became more and more ferocious. Even the guards of Snow Wind Ridge were discussing it and finally attracted her attention.

“What’s going on?”

Xia Qingying’s gaze paused on Su Zimo for a moment before landing on Duan Tianliang’s face as she asked slowly.

“T-This...!”

Duan Tianliang stammered and averted his gaze, wiping the sweat on his forehead continuously.

“It’s me,”

Suddenly, Su Zimo said, “I once obtained a jade bottle in the starry skies with a drop of spirit liquid in it. I didn’t know what it was for.”

“When I used the Cloud Rain Technique, I accidentally shattered this jade bottle. That drop of spirit liquid fused into it and filled these spirit fields. The reason why these spirit fields grew so quickly must be because of that drop of spirit liquid.”

Su Zimo had expected that this matter would definitely not be hidden.

Naturally, he had prepared that explanation a long time ago.

Although there were some flaws in his words, it was indeed difficult for others to tell if he was telling the truth.

Only Duan Tianliang knew that Su Zimo spent his days cultivating in the straw hut and had never released the Cloud Rain Technique.

He was the one who released the Cloud Rain Technique in this spirit field and had never seen any spirit liquid before.

However, Duan Tianliang lowered his head in silence and did not expose Su Zimo.

“What sort of spirit liquid is this powerful?!”

“Just a single drop has increased the growth speed of the Essence Nourishing Grass and Rain Frost Flower by a hundred times!”

“That’s right, immortal herbs that require a hundred years to mature actually grew to such a state in a single year.”

The surrounding medicinal farmers whispered with shocked expressions.

“Hmph!”

Liang Qiu sneered, “What a load of nonsense! What spirit liquid can have such an effect to ripen two immortal herbs in a year?!”

“Just because you haven’t seen it before doesn’t mean that there isn’t one,”

Su Zimo said indifferently and asked instead, “If it wasn’t for the spirit liquid, why don’t you explain to me what’s going on with these spirit fields?”

“You...”

Liang Qiu grit his teeth and was speechless.

The scene before him could indeed be considered as an immortal phenomenon and he could not think of any other reason.

Xia Qingying pondered for a moment and asked, “How much more of this spirit liquid do you have?”

“That’s all,”

Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders gently. “There’s only one drop and it’s already used.”

That was the only way to stop others from thinking about it.

“What a pity.”

“If we have more spirit liquid, the immortal herbs will ripen a hundred times faster and we can obtain more Essence Condensation Pills to cultivate.”

Many medicinal farmers shook their heads and sighed.

Xia Qingying looked regretful as well.

“Hmph!”

Liang Qiu raised his head slightly with an unfriendly expression. He glared into Su Zimo’s eyes and sneered, “How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I don’t believe that you only have a single drop of spirit liquid!”

“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do,”

Su Zimo replied indifferently.

“Of course there’s a way!”

Liang Qiu’s gaze was ferocious as he suddenly strode forward and shouted, “Hand over your storage bag and let me check it!”

“Don’t!”

Xia Qingying frowned and stopped him hurriedly.

However, Liang Qiu was extremely fast. Without any warning, he darted past Xia Qingying and arrived before Su Zimo, slapping his palm towards the latter’s waist!

The storage bag was indeed hung on Su Zimo’s waist.

However, it was clear that Liang Qiu was not aiming for his storage bag and he did not hold back either.

If that palm landed, Su Zimo’s spine would be snapped before the storage bag was even retrieved!

In the upper world, a broken spine was considered as a serious injury. If one did not recuperate well, there was a high chance that their lower body would be completely crippled!

Liang Qiu’s palm strike was sinister!

Many medicinal farmers reacted and exclaimed.

“It’s over!”

“Commander Liang is a Grade 4 Black Immortal. If he attacks with his full strength, Su Zimo will most likely lose half his life!”

“This young man has just ascended and is arrogant and immature. Why did he have to go against Commander Liang? Sigh, what a pity.”

Everyone felt pity and could not bear it.

Piak!

There was a crisp sound!

Liang Qiu’s figure froze instantly.

Many medicinal farmers widened their eyes in disbelief!

Liang Qiu’s palm froze in midair before it even landed on Su Zimo’s waist.

Su Zimo had suddenly attacked and grabbed Liang Qiu’s wrist!

Nobody saw how Su Zimo attacked.

However, Liang Qiu’s wrist froze in midair. No matter how he channeled his strength, he could not descend or move at all!

Many medicinal farmers were in an uproar!

“This young man can actually defend against Commander Liang’s attack!”

“That’s not right. This young man has just ascended and is only a Grade 1 Black Immortal. How is that possible?!”

Instantly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

Right then, Xia Qingying looked at Su Zimo’s face and her eyes lit up. “Grade 4 Black Immortal!”

Some of the medicinal farmers reacted as well and were shocked when their spirit consciousnesses scanned Su Zimo.

“It’s only been a year and this little brother has already cultivated to Grade 4 Black Immortal?”

“W-What cultivation speed is that?!”

Duan Tianliang was the only one in the crowd with a calm expression.

Narrowing his gaze slightly with a hint of killing intent, Su Zimo glared at Liang Qiu and asked slowly, “What are you trying to do, Commander Liang?”
