Strongest Abandoned Son

Ye Mo calmed down and quickly waved his hand. “Qian bei, don’t try to scam me anymore. I can’t even fall asleep due to owing you already and now you want me to owe you more.”

“Okay.” Lu Wuhu smiled and suddenly popped up to Ye Mo. “If you’re worrying about that debt, then how about I ask you something? If you reply then you don’t owe me anymore. How about it?”

“That simple?” Ye Mo looked at Lu Wuhu in disbelief.

Lu Wuhu was a qian bei master, but from Jing Yingli, he knew that this guy didn’t make losing deals. How could someone like him just ask one question?

Lu Wuhu said casually, “Yeah, it’s that simple.”

“Okay, then ask, I’ll listen carefully. As long as I know, I’ll answer.” If he could pay Lu Wuhu back this easily he would rather owe him a few favors.

Lu Wuhu thought casually with a sigh, “It’s really hard to ask a casual question. Should I ask how old you are? Or…”

Ye Mo glared his eyes in disbelief, it couldn’t be that simple of a question. He quickly said, “Then ask how old I am, I’ll tell you, I…”

Lu Wuhu suddenly stopped Ye Mo from talking and said, “I suddenly thought of a question, you’re a pill king so you must know a lot. I saw a herb at my friend’s place last time, it looks like a bamboo but my friend says it’s not. I’ll draw it to you, do you know it?”

Lu Wuhu took out a white blank paper and drew. A green bamboo plant appeared on the paper. Different than ordinary bamboo, the leaves were very big, many times bigger than ordinary bamboo leaves. The leaf shape was also crescent shaped. Also, the leaves started appearing at the root area.

Ye Mo immediately realized this was the Bitter Bamboo. This meant that Lu Wuhu knew he had the Bitter Bamboo.

But then Ye Mo thought, ‘this is impossible’. If he knew that he had Bitter Bamboo, then he wouldn’t need to act like that. Clearly he felt he didn’t know the Bitter Bamboo, that’s why he drew it. Plus, his Bitter Bamboo was in his Golden Page World. No matter how powerful Lu Wuhu, he wouldn’t be able to reach his spirit sense into his Golden Page World.

But why did Lu Wuhu ask this question?

Seeing Ye Mo stare at it and not speak, Lu Wuhu asked worriedly, “Do you know this bamboo? Or have you seen it?”

Hearing this, Ye Mo realized that Lu Wuhu was sure he had seen the Bitter Bamboo and perhaps he had Bitter Bamboo chi on him. That’s why he wanted to know the location of the Bitter Bamboo through him.

The Bitter Bamboo wasn’t just an extreme grade spirit item but also an utmost highest forgery material. It was no wonder that Lu Wuhu could feel the Bitter Bamboo chi.

Ye Mo looked at it for a while and shook his head. “I haven’t seen this bamboo, it’s very strange. It’s like bamboo but not really.”

“That’s impossible, you must’ve seen it!” Lu Wuhu called out immediately.

Ye Mo shook his head again. “Lu qian bei, although I haven’t seen this bamboo but I’ve seen this bamboo leaf.”

“Really?” Lu Wuhu immediately rejoiced and looked at Ye Mo fervently, “Tell me, where is it?”

Ye Mo realized that Lu Wuhu knew he had seen the Bitter Bamboo from the chi on him. Bitter Bamboo was too important to Ye Mo; even if Lu Wuhu tried to rob it from him, he wasn’t going to give it.

But this Lu Wuhu really knew how to resist, and only asked now.

Ye Mo took out the Bitter Bamboo leaf he used for his divine damnation and said, “It’s on me, have a look.”

Lu Wuhu grabbed it and said very excitedly, “It’s really Bitter Bamboo leaf, it really is…”

He just felt there seemed to Bitter Bamboo chi on Ye Mo, but he wasn’t too sure. He didn’t expect it to be real.

He looked at the leaf again and again. His hands were shaking with excitement.

“Wait.” Lu Wuhu suddenly said, “There’s no way you can take off the Bitter Bamboo leaf unless it has a master. But, how is that possible?”

Lu Wuhu then studied Ye Mo from head to toe again. Ye Mo was shook, he must not let this old guy see something. He suddenly thought, was he able to dig out the Bitter Bamboo because it approved of him as master?

Ye Mo said, “I picked up this leaf from the Truth Fall Palace forbidden grounds. There was a big black mountain and it was covered with black lightning. Ordinary people can’t go up at all. I just walked past the bottom of the mountain – it was still very far from the actual mountain – and I picked up the leaf there. I felt this leaf was very nice so I picked it up. Ever since then I’ve been cultivating while holding this leaf and it feels very good, so this is the Bitter Bamboo leaf?”

Lu Wuhu heard this and murmured, “It’s really in the Truth Fall Palace forbidden grounds, there really is World Mountain there, that means the Bitter Bamboo is also there…”

Lu Wuhu looked at Ye Mo and said, “It’s natural that you don’t know this. This is an ancient thing, Although it has some benefits for your cultivation, it’s limited. The main purpose is for forgery. But then again, your luck is insane. You can even encounter the Bitter Bamboo leaf. I’ve been to the Truth Fall Palace a few times, how come I haven’t met the Bitter Bamboo. Thirty years later…”

Ye Mo was speechless, this old guy dared to trick him by saying that the Bitter Bamboo had no use for cultivation. But clearly, this guy would find someone to go look for it thiry years later. Unfortunately, the bitter bamboo was already sitting in the Golden Page World. Even if he could get it, could he afford to raise it?

“Um, can I make a deal with you. This Bitter Bamboo leaf is a good forgery item and I’m a forgery grand master, but about…”

Ye Mo looked at him in shock, “Qian bei, you’re not trying to rob me of this cultivation magical artifact are you? I’ve already paid you back.”

Lu Wuhu felt a little awkward, he couldn’t lower himself to rob it but he didn’t want to give up the Bitter Bamboo leaf he just got.

“How about I get you a spot for the Black Ice sect tournament. No, you don’t need to compete, I will speak to the Infinity Sect sect leader and give that girl as your wife.” Lu Wuhu patted his chest.

Ye Mo wanted to laugh but he pretended his heart was aching. “Since it’s a forgery treasure, then I’ll give it to you…”

“Thank you, thank you pill king Ye – no brother Ye! We’re brothers from now on,” Lu Wuhu said happily as he took out a jade box about to place it in carefully.

“Wait…” Ye Mo stopped Lu Wuhu. Seeing that Lu Wuhu was a little worried Ye Mo said, “Although Bitter Bamboo leaf is my best treasure, I’m willing to give it to Lu qian bei…”

“No just call me brother Lu. Who are we, don’t be so distant.” Lu Wuhu quickly smiled.

Ye Mo thought, ‘I didn’t see you being so intimate right at the start’ but he laughed and said, “In that case – brother Lu.”

Lu Wuhu then put the Bitter Bamboo away and waved his hand. “Then we don’t need to be so distant with each other.”

“Brother Lu, I have three things I need your help for,” Ye Mo said without hesitation.

“Say it, as long as brother can help I will do it for sure.” Lu Wuhu waved his hand.

“Okay, first I want you to forge a magic artifact for me,” Ye Mo said.

“No worries.”

“Second, if I have an opponent I can’t beat, brother Lu can help me 20 times – uh 10 times is fine.”

“That’s fine…” Lu Wuhu just wanted to answer, but he immediately looked at Ye Mo. “Wait, I can’t be your henchman.”

“Oh…” Ye Mo didn’t say anything.

“Okay, I’ll help you three times, and there’re a few cultivation artifacts here, you can choose one.” He took out a stack of cultivation artifacts.

Ye Mo rejoiced and found a longsword there. He chose that longsword because it was the only top grade cultivation artifact.

“Okay, what’s the last thing?” Lu Wuhu put them away and asked.

Ye Mo smiled, “I want to bring ten people here from North Far State.”

Lu Wuhu quickly waved his hand. “Impossible, even I can’t do that. I can maybe do one, but ten is definitely impossible. The cost of the teleportation formation from North Far State is too high. Don’t even think about it, change it to something else.”

Ye Mo also knew that was probably impossible so he said, “Then I’ll copy you brother Lu, you owe me one too. I’ll ask for it next time.”
