Mo Hua was merely a seventh-level Qi Refinement cultivator. Although his talent was not bad, it was impossible for him to be so well-liked.
These people must have been greeting Mo Hua out of respect for his father Mo Shan.
But Mo Shan’s influence couldn’t have been that great.
It couldn’t be that Mo Shan had succeeded in his Foundation Establishment…
If he had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, with Mo Hua being the son of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, naturally people would show him respect.
Yu Chengwu thought to himself, then suddenly realized something was off.
His father Yu Changlin was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he himself was also the son of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet people did not show him that much respect.
Yu Chengwu was somewhat puzzled, but what puzzled him even more was the armor.
The few groups of Monster Hunters that passed by, not everyone had it, but at least the majority were wearing iron armor.
This was iron armor we’re talking about! Where did they get it?
Yu Chengwu’s brows were deeply furrowed.
He had been sent by his father, Elder Yu, to take care of some business. Due to an unexpected delay, he had been delayed for more than a year before rushing back.
On his way through Qingxuan City, he ran into Ji Qingbai. Since the two were somewhat acquainted and he had always disdained families that bullied others because of their status, he lend a hand and they headed to Tongxian City together.
Since his departure, it had been just over a year.
But a year and a bit for cultivators wasn’t that long, right?
So why did everything feel a bit different now that he was back?
Ji Qingbai and Ji Li were also secretly astonished as they looked at these Monster Hunters.
This was iron armor, and in Qingxuan City, Monster Hunters with iron armor could be counted on one hand. Once in Tongxian City, why did it feel like they were everywhere?
Father and son Ji Qingbai couldn’t figure it out either.
The group made their way without incident, left Big Black Mountain, and entered Tongxian City through the southern gate. What met their eyes was the vast Refinery Shop and Alchemist’s Business on the south side of the city.
The establishment occupied a vast area, with grand specifications, towering outer walls, and strict formations. It looked imposing and commanding.
From inside, there came the clear sounds of metal working and wafts of rich alchemical fragrances.
Yu Chengwu and the others were overwhelmingly shocked.
Not just Tongxian City, but the nearby several Immortal Cities combined had never seen such a scale of the Tao Cultivation industry.
Yu Chengwu couldn’t believe it, “Could all of these belong to the Qian Family?”
In just over a year, had the Qian Family’s power already grown to this extent?
Weren’t they doomed to never hold their heads up high again in the future?
Mo Hua shook his head, “No, it’s like everybody’s!”
“Everybody’s?” Yu Chengwu did not understand.
Mo Hua pointed with his little hand, encompassing the entire southern part of the city beneath his gesture, “Everybody’s.”
Yu Chengwu understood, yet still found it unbelievable. He thought to himself, “I must be dreaming…”
In his daze, he felt this was all just a part of the dream he had while wandering outside, homeless, half-asleep, half-awake.
In his dream, he had journeyed far and finally returned to Tongxian City.
He saw that the Monster Hunters of Tongxian City were all donning iron armor, saw that Loose Cultivators had built Refinery Shops and Alchemist’s Businesses, saw that everyone had enough Spirit Stones, and their faces bore smiles.
He had thought about these things before, but only in his dreams.
The scene before him seemed just like the dream he had dreamt.
Seeing him lost in thought, Mo Hua called out, “Second Uncle Yu?”
Yu Chengwu snapped back to reality, but seeing everything around him, he still could hardly believe it. He thought to himself:
“This isn’t a dream, could it be an Illusion Technique?”
Mo Hua saw his expression changing and emotions fluctuating, assuming he was overwhelmed by homesickness, and didn’t bother him.
