Not long after, a skinny old man with slightly grizzled hair walked into the hall.
"Greetings, Governor!" The elder bowed to Governor Bai.
"Elder Yu, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Please take a seat!" Governor Bai stood up and helped the elder up.
Obviously, this old man's position in the City Lord's Mansion was not insignificant. Even if the City Lord did not come, he would not dare to put on airs in front of him.
"Thank you, City Governor!" The old man thanked him and sat down opposite Su Mo.
"Elder Yu, the reason I called you here today is to inquire about the forging materials. Castellan Bai laughed.
"City Lord, please speak!" Elder Yu said.
Governor Bai looked at Su Mo and said, "Su Mo, feel free to ask Elder Yu about crafting materials!"
Su Mo nodded, then cupped his fists at Elder Yu and said in a deep voice, "Elder, I would like to ask you about the Blood-striped Seed!"
"Blood-striped Seed?"
Hearing this, Elder Yu's eyes flashed, "You want to find the Blood-striped Seed?"
"Not bad!"
Su Mo nodded and said in a deep voice, "If you have any information about the Blood-striped Seed, I'll reward you handsomely!"
When Elder Yu heard this, he revealed a thoughtful expression. He did not care about the heavy gratitude. He had spent his entire life researching the art of refining artifacts, and he had no interest in the treasures that some martial artists fancied.
Su Mo was not angry at the old man's silence. Instead, he was happy. Judging from the old man's expression, he obviously knew about the Blood-striped Seed.
After a while, Elder Yu said, "The Blood-striped Seed is an extremely rare blacksmithing material. In the entire Divine Martial Kingdom, only the imperial palace has it!"
"The imperial palace!" Su Mo's heart skipped a beat and his eyes narrowed.
If the Imperial Palace had it, then he might have to make a trip to the Imperial Palace!
"Senior, are you sure there are Blood-striped Seeds in the palace?" Su Mo asked in a deep voice.
"It's basically confirmed. One year ago, the imperial palace wanted to refine an artifact that required the combined efforts of a large number of king-class blacksmiths in the Divine Martial Kingdom. This old one participated and saw it in the imperial palace!" Elder Yu nodded.
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there was a clue, he would not have to search aimlessly anymore.
Although it was difficult to get the Blood-striped Seed from the Imperial Palace, there was always a way.
"Thank you for the information, Senior!"
Su Mo immediately stood up and thanked Elder Yu sincerely. Elder Yu had really helped him a lot.
"You're welcome!"
Elder Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big secret anyway!"
With that, Elder Yu stood up and cupped his fists at Governor Bai and Su Mo. "Governor, young friends, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
"Senior, please wait!" Su Mo hurriedly stopped him. He had promised to reward him handsomely, how could he go back on his word?
Su Mo immediately took out a jade slip from his storage ring.
This jade slip originally recorded a King level cultivation skill. Su Mo immediately used his Mind to erase all of it and then copied a large amount of information.
"Elder, this is my token of appreciation. I hope you like it!" Su Mo handed the jade slip to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu shook his head helplessly. He had never intended to accept any gift from Su Mo.
However, since Su Mo had offered it to him, he had to accept it.
"I'll gladly accept it then!" Elder Yu smiled as he took the jade slip from Su Mo's hand and put it into his storage ring.
Su Mo laughed bitterly. It seemed like Elder Yu did not take his gift seriously at all. He might not even check it in the future!
"Senior, please check it first!" Su Mo reminded him with a smile.
"This …!"
Elder Yu was speechless. He had already accepted the gift, but Su Mo still wanted him to check it on the spot!
There was no such thing as asking someone to check it on the spot after giving a gift. Elder Yu's good impression of Su Mo immediately disappeared.
However, Su Mo was the governor's guest, and Elder Yu did not want to embarrass Su Mo. He could only take out the jade slip again and use his Mind to check it.
However, when Elder Yu's consciousness entered the jade slip and examined its contents, his body trembled and his aged eyes widened in shock.
Then, Elder Yu froze on the spot with the jade slip in his hand, as if he had been petrified.
"This …!" Governor Bai was shocked. What gift did Su Mo give to Elder Yu? To actually make Elder Yu, who had always been a man of few desires, lose his composure like this!
Seeing that Elder Yu did not respond for a long time, Governor Bai became even more curious and stood up.
Time passed slowly, and after 10 minutes, Elder Yu still did not respond, as if he had been petrified.
Governor Bai could not wait any longer. He turned to look at Su Mo and asked in surprise, "Su Mo, what gift did you give Elder Yu?"
Governor Bai's face was full of curiosity. He knew Elder Yu very well. Elder Yu was a man of few desires and had no interest in martial arts techniques or treasures!
He had spent his entire life researching craftsmanship, and his obsession with craftsmanship was the only thing that could move Elder Yu.
"Did Su Mo give Elder Yu craftsmanship formulas as a gift?"
Governor Bai guessed.
Su Mo chuckled and said, "I merely imparted some craftsmanship techniques to Elder Yu!"
"What? Imparted? "
Governor Bai's heart skipped a beat and his face was filled with disbelief.
Su Mo had said 'imparted'?
Imparted craftsmanship techniques to Elder Yu?
"You're a craftsman as well?" Governor Bai asked in shock.
"Yes! I've dabbled in it! "Su Mo nodded. …
Governor Bai's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Dabbled in it?
To be able to impart craftsmanship techniques to Elder Yu, and to be so engrossed in it, how could this be considered dabbling in it?
This meant that his craftsmanship techniques were far superior to Elder Yu's!
Elder Yu was a Medium King craftsman, and Su Mo's craftsmanship techniques were far superior to Elder Yu's. This meant that he was at least an Upper King craftsman!
Governor Bai felt like he was going crazy. Su Mo's combat strength had already reached an indescribable level, and now he was even a high-level craftsman!
How could this be?
Governor Bai felt as if there was a voice screaming in his heart. He could not believe this was real. This was a fantasy!
How could such a monster exist in this world!
Governor Bai could not help but feel shocked as he looked at Su Mo. This young man looked harmless, but he was definitely a terrifying character!
At this moment, Elder Yu, who had been petrified, finally recovered.
Elder Yu's hands trembled uncontrollably as he slowly raised the Jade Slip and looked at Su Mo with excitement. "Young friend, is … is this real?" he asked excitedly.
Elder Yu was shocked by the profound craftsmanship techniques recorded in the jade slip. Given his level of craftsmanship, he could easily tell the authenticity of the jade slip, but he could not help asking. He wanted to hear Su Mo's confirmation!
That was because the crafting techniques recorded in the jade slip were simply too precious to him. They were simply priceless treasures.
