Chapter 274: Chapter 274 The News of the Jade Vein

"Since the matter has been settled, Chu will leave first and can report back to the Holy Maiden,"

After Su Luo saved the people, Chu Baohua also had no reason to stay, so he bid farewell to the Lin Family.

The Lin Family naturally tried to persuade him to stay.

However, Chu Baohua politely declined and left directly with his entourage.

Su Luo knew that Chu Baohua’s hasty departure was probably to avoid embarrassment.

"He came from the Medicine God Temple, how could he arrive so quickly?" After Chu Baohua left, Su Luo expressed the doubts in his heart.

Lin Yuexian explained, "Divine Doctor Chu happened to be in Jiangbei. As soon as the old master was injured, he rushed over immediately."

"What did he come to Jiangbei for?" Su Luo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lin Yuexian explained, "It seems that a servant and a disciple from the Medicine God Temple went missing in Jiangbei."

[Sure enough, the Medicine God Temple hasn’t given up investigating the disappearance of Liu Minghui and Han Fei.] Su Luo thought to himself. All he could hope for was that the Medicine God Temple wouldn’t find out what really happened.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of the Medicine God Temple, but because Lin Ruoxi was now the Holy Maiden of the Medicine God Temple, Su Luo would prefer not to be enemies with them, if possible.

"Mr. Lin, please prepare a batch of jade stones. I plan to set up some arrays around the Lin Mansion. If strong enemies attack again in the future, they won’t be able to easily invade the premises,"

Su Luo said immediately.

Jade stones?

Arrays?

Lin Yuexian was slightly confused.

He was a martial artist, but just that, and his activities were mostly confined within the province of Jiangbei. Thus, when it came to arrays, even Lin Yuexian found it quite astonishing.

"Yuexian, bring back what Little Friend Su needs as quickly as possible," Lin Songbai said at that moment.

Clearly, he had a better understanding of arrays than Lin Yuexian.

It had to be said.

The efficiency of the Lin Family was very high. In just one day’s time, they had transported back a large quantity of jade stones.

And over the past day, Su Luo had stayed within the Lin Mansion, creating some array flags.

Therefore,

as soon as the jade stones arrived, Su Luo directly set up the Mystifying Array and the Nine-Pointed Sword Array within the Lin Mansion.

One to trap the enemy,

the other to kill the enemy!

This time, Su Luo used a large amount of jade stones and array flags to maximize the power of the arrays.

Even a Great Grandmaster would find it difficult to destroy the arrays by force without knowing the location of the array’s core, let alone do it in a few moves.

"Old master, I will leave the control of this array to you. You can keep it deactivated during normal times, but in case of emergency, activate it to protect the Lin Mansion and buy time for your evacuation,"

Su Luo knew that work had recently been underway beneath the Lin Mansion, secretly digging a tunnel. Paired with the arrays, it would be perfect.

Should they encounter a formidable enemy, the arrays could hold them off for a while, giving the Lin Family members the chance to slip away unnoticed through the tunnel.

"You truly are a treasure, seeming to always have unexpected methods at your disposal," Lin Songbai laughed heartily.

He hadn’t anticipated that Su Luo, apart from his rapid cultivation, skill in alchemy, and medical knowledge, would also understand the art of arrays.

You should know that because formations are exceedingly rare and there’s hardly any heritage left, there are very few people who know about formations and even fewer who understand them.

He never expected that Su Luo could actually set up a formation.

This Su Luo seemed to always bring surprises, more treasured than a treasure itself. For such a person to be his granddaughter’s husband, Grandfather’s excitement and happiness were naturally beyond words.

In fact, not only was Lin Songbai happy, but Su Luo was also quite excited.

It wasn’t because he had laid out the formation and earned Lin Songbai’s praise, but rather because Su Luo discovered that several of the jade stones bore a wisp of Chaotic Aura.

This Chaotic Aura was very weak and nowhere near enough for Su Luo to absorb and use for cultivation.

However, Su Luo had decided to trace the source of these jade stones and find the jade vein from which they were mined. Surely there would be the presence of Chaos Qi there, otherwise these jade stones would not all be imbued with a Chaotic Aura.

"Old Master, I would like to know where these jade stones were mined from?" Su Luo did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

Lin Songbai smiled and said, "If you want jade stones, I can arrange for someone to purchase a few more batches for you."

Su Luo knew that the old master had misunderstood him and immediately said, "Old Master, I think that there might be something I need in the vein from where these jade stones were mined. I want to go and take a look at the vein."

"I’ll have Yue Tian look into it right away," Lin Songbai immediately took it seriously.

Very soon.

Su Luo got his answer.

"These jade stones come from the southwestern region, Yiling County, adjacent to Myanmar’s Jadeite Production Area. However, the mining rights to the jade vein from which this batch of jade stones emerged are held by two families there. They seem to often fight over the rights to the vein,"

"Moreover, don’t assume that because they are located in a small border county, there aren’t many martial arts experts. The abundance of jade stones there enriches the energy of heaven and earth, providing substances that aid in a Martial Artist’s training; the number of martial arts experts is definitely far greater than in our Jiangbei," Lin Yuexian explained.

Lin Songbai elaborated, "The local forces should also be very united. With so many experts, that’s also the reason they can keep those jade veins secure. Otherwise, with such immense interests, forces from outside would have interfered long ago."

Su Luo nodded.

It didn’t matter how many experts there were; after all, he had no grudge with the local forces and was not like the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, who were mortal enemies.

"Then I will set out for Yiling County immediately!"

Su Luo made his decision on the spot.

Time waits for no one. He wanted to see if he could unearth anything there and then rush back in time for training at the Kunlun Special Training Base.

"Daddy, are you going on a business trip again?"

Just before Su Luo left the house, he bade farewell to Nian Nian. However, Nian Nian clung to Su Luo, seemingly unwilling to let go, clearly reluctant for Su Luo to leave again.

"Nian Nian, Daddy has important things to do, and we must not hinder him, alright?" Xia Yi knew Nian Nian was reluctant, but she also understood that she couldn’t delay Su Luo’s important affairs.

After all, Nian Nian was not Su Luo’s biological daughter. Now that Su Luo had become the Lin Family’s son-in-law, she wouldn’t have had the audacity to stay in the Lin Mansion if she hadn’t explained privately to Lin Songbai that Su Luo was pretending to be Nian Nian’s father at her request.

This time, after Su Luo left, there should be no more danger, so she was planning to take Nian Nian and leave the Lin Mansion to return to her own home.

When Nian Nian grew a little older, she would find an opportunity to tell her the truth, and then take Nian Nian with her when she left. She couldn’t let her and her daughter’s presence affect Su Luo’s normal life.

As for the thoughts she had harbored before, they had already been squashed. As a woman with a child, she could not compare with a favored daughter like Lin Ruoxi.

Only Lin Ruoxi was truly suitable for Su Luo.

However,

To Xia Yi’s surprise, Su Luo said, "Nian Nian, how about Daddy takes you and Mommy along on the business trip, would that be okay?"
