The disciples simply remained silent after Su Mo spoke and followed him to the floating city.
It was just as Su Mo said, level one and two shrimps could not fly, which caused the group to slow down.
The group didn't arrive at the floating city until the sun rose, welcoming a new day.
"Look, those are shrimps!"
"Damn, there really is someone out there who can catch shrimp!"
"This person even managed to catch a female shrimp! Who is this guy?"
"Excuse me, young man! Are you planning on selling your female shrimp?"
…
Su Mo caused a sensation as soon as he entered the floating city.
It had been a while since anyone had caught any female shrimps and brought them to the floating city.
The last person to successfully catch a female shrimp was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from a notorious clan, the Nine Heavens Palace. He had spent a lot of effort to catch a female shrimp.
The citizens of the floating city were surprised when they saw that someone else had managed to catch a female shrimp. Many people were interested in buying the female shrimp from Su Mo. That was why Su Mo was such a sensation to these people.
Su Mo smiled at those interested in buying the female shrimp and indicated that he wasn't interested in selling it. He only wanted to sell the ordinary shrimps.
This caused many people to be disappointed. But of course, there were others who bought ordinary shrimps. However, this was a good thing.
Su Mo didn't care about the common shrimp. He only needed to keep a few dozen of them. He had managed to catch over a hundred shrimp.
The common level one shrimps were sold for a hundred low-grade spirit rocks each, and someone had even bid five hundred low-grade spirit rocks for the level two shrimps.
Compared to other types of level one and two demonic beasts, the price could be said to be ridiculously high.
…
At the sidelines, a few luxuriously dressed citizens gathered to discuss. "Do you think we should buy some shrimp, sir?"
"There's no need. Common shrimps will be gone once we're done eating them. They're useless. If we want them, we should buy female shrimps," The leading man said.
This person was much younger than the person who called him sir. He looked to be around twenty years old.
"But that man is not interested in selling that female shrimp!" A person said in confusion.
"When have I ever had the chance to spend money on the things I want?" The young man asked.
…
Meanwhile, Su Mo had already arrived at the floating city's trading center. There were many merchants here.
Su Mo had bought some level one demonic beasts while he was here. There were wild bulls and porcupines, both of which were edible demonic beasts.
Humans had two uses for capturing demonic beasts. One of the reasons was to sign a soul contract, allowing the powerful demonic beasts to protect the village and its disciples.
The other was to store an objective amount of spiritual energy in one's body if they felt that they were not strong enough. People used these demonic beasts for consumption.
After that, Su Mo bought some spirit herb seeds. Of course, they were all currently low-leveled seeds. He purchased some level one and two seeds and dozens of level three spirit herb seeds.
Su Mo would also use these spirit herb seeds to refine low-grade medicinal pills.
After that, Su Mo decided that he would buy some refining materials.
Zhou Ping looked at Su Mo, who seemed to be buying everything he laid his eyes on, and asked, "Do you have enough spirit rocks, Clan Master Su?"
"Don't worry. Your clan master has plenty of money," Su Mo replied indifferently.
Su Mo was a member of a notorious clan, and his wealth was absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Su Mo put everything into the cosmic bag, besides the demonic beasts. He could not put those beasts into the cosmic storage bag and the system's dimension.
Su Mo looked at the things he had bought and said with satisfaction, "Well, it's about time we head back!"
With these things in Su Mo's possession, he could now accept more people into the Crimson Heart Clan.
Su Mo left the floating city with satisfaction. He then led the demonic beasts toward the direction of the Crimson Heart Village.
"Be careful back there," Su Mo said to his disciples indifferently.
"What's the matter, Clan Master Su?" Zhou Ping hurriedly asked.
"Some people have a death wish," Su Mo turned around and said.
"We've been discovered."
Behind them, more than ten people walked out of hiding.
"I didn't expect you to be so cautious," The leading noble young master said.
"Are you interested in my female shrimp, or did you suddenly become interested in money?" Su Mo said with a calm expression.
"Hahaha! Why don't you hand over either one and be on your way? Forget it. How about you give me everything you have?" The noble young master laughed.
The nobleman was initially only interested in the female shrimp, but after seeing how wealthy Su Mo was, he decided to plunder all of Su Mo's treasures.
"I'm afraid that you're being overambitious. I just wanted to know why you were sneaking around," Su Mo replied.
"Hahaha! Don't be so delusional, kid. Although I don't know how you obtained so many treasures and even managed to catch a female shrimp, I can't allow you to keep those things to yourself!" The nobleman said with a chuckle.
"Hmph, and you're allowed to claim these for yourself?" Su Mo refuted.
"Of course, I can. No one on the floating island is more suitable to claim these treasures than me. Do you think we're the only ones keeping an eye on you? I just helped you chase the others away." The nobleman replied.
"Oh? So you're an important person?" Su Mo said playfully.
"Of course! My big brother is a ladies' man!" A follower stood up and answered.
"Did you hear that? Hand over your belongings, and I'll spare your life," the ladies' man said lightly.
"I've lived for so long, yet I've never met such an arrogant person like you," Su Mo said indifferently.
Su Mo felt that he had heard of this ladies' man before, but he couldn't remember how at the moment.
Su Mo's disciples were also lost in thought, wondering who this ladies' man was.
"Then today is the day you meet him! It seems that you are unwilling to hand over your treasures. If that's the case, then I'm truly sorry." After saying this, the ladies' man drew his long blade and rushed toward Su Mo.
The followers of the ladies' man also drew their long blades and followed suit.
Zhou Ping, Shi Heshuo, and the others hurriedly drew their weapons when they saw this.
"Stand down. I'll handle this myself," Su Mo ordered.
Su Mo was in a hurry to return to the village and didn't want to waste more time.
"Since you guys are so willing to die, I shall make this quick. Heavenly Emperor Fist!"
Su Mo's disciples immediately stopped when they heard this. They remembered what happened to Earth Fiend Daoist when he got hit with this technique, so they did not want to be affected by it.
"Thousand Withering Flowers!" The nobleman used all his strength.
However, the Heavenly Emperor Fist passed through the nobleman's sword technique and smashed violently onto his body.
His followers wanted to help him, but it was futile.
The nobleman's followers were also smashed into the ground as the effects of the Heavenly Emperor Fist dispersed.
A massive crater was embedded into the ground, and the people in it couldn't breathe.
"It's useless to be so arrogant. That was a mere level ten Meridian Formation Realm technique," Su Mo said indifferently.
But Su Mo seemed to have forgotten that he was still in level ten of the Meridian Formation Realm.
"Clan Master Su, are you really a cultivator of the Meridian Formation Realm?" Zhou Ping gulped and said.
"Don't overthink it. Let's hurry up and leave," Su Mo said indifferently.
The disciples quickly put aside their shocked expressions and left with their clan master.
However, Su Mo didn't notice that a stream of light had shot out from the body of the dead ladies' man and flew into the distance.
