I’m Writing a Diary in a Fantasy World — I Really Am Not a 'Cao Thief'! Chapter 100.2 : The Twin Swords (Part 2)

[Lu Tingni]: Really, Master? What is it?

[Shui Qianrou]: A book that records supre alchemy techniques, called "The True Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy."

[Shui Qianrou]: In short, for an alchemist, this True Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy can be called a peerless treasure. I'm very satisfied—unfortunately, only one percent of its contents has been unlocked for so far.

[Shui Qianrou]: But even with just that one percent, I've benefited imnsely. I only broke through my alchemy realm not long ago, and I have a premonition that as long as I get another two percent, I'll be able to break through again!

[Dantai Jinglian]: Sigh… every one of you gets a highest-tier reward whose effects are imdiate and obvious.

[Dantai Jinglian]: I'm the only one who has to painstakingly collect mine—at the very least, I'll need to gather a third of the total before I can start gaining any real benefit from it.

[Dantai Xuanyin]: Aunt, before you say things like that, could you maybe spare a thought for , Qinghui, Fuyao, and Tingni? We haven't even seen the shadow of a highest-tier reward yet…

Even soone as mild and detached as Dantai Xuanyin couldn't help but co out and complain about her aunt at this mont.

That said, she was only venting a little.

As for the highest-tier rewards, she did look forward to them, but not to the point of desperately craving them.

Getting one sooner would be best; getting one later wasn't a big deal either. There was plenty of ti ahead—she had more than enough patience to wait.

[Zhao Qinghui]: By the way, I already have information on the Su family and Su Mo. As for the Qianqiu Yue that Senior Brother Chu ntioned at the end, there's no news for now—I'll need to have my people investigate further.

[Dantai Jinglian]: Qianqiu Yue isn't urgent. Qinghui, start by giving us a detailed rundown of the Su family and Su Mo.

[Zhao Qinghui]: The Su family can be considered a prominent clan in Wangjian City. Together with the Qi and Han families, they're known as the three great families of Wangjian City.

[Zhao Qinghui]: Of course, that's just how it's put on the Wangjian City side. In reality, the strength of these three families is fairly average—still a notch below the Lu family where Fuyao and Tingni co from.

[Zhao Qinghui]: The strongest figure on the surface in the Su family is the family head himself—Su Qing, Su Mo's father—at the peak of the Sixth Heaven. After him are several Sixth Heaven Su family elders and guest elders. Below them are family mbers in the Fourth and Fifth Heavens, forming the backbone of the clan. Finally, there are the younger generation of the Su family, most of whom are in the Lower Three Heavens.

[Zhao Qinghui]: However, that's only what's visible on the surface. In secret, the Su family actually has a Seventh Heaven great power as an ancestral guardian, along with several elderly clan mbers at the peak of the Sixth Heaven.

[Zhao Qinghui]: That's roughly the Su family's overall strength. Because of ti constraints, my people weren't able to investigate in extre detail, so there may be so discrepancies compared to the actual situation—but they shouldn't be significant.

[Dantai Jinglian]: Not bad at all. Take one more step forward, and they wouldn't be without hope of becoming a major clan in their own right.

Dantai Jinglian gave her assessnt.

If the Su family could produce another great power and a few reserve candidates for that level,

and elevate their backbone strength to an average of Sixth Heaven,

they would be considered to have crossed the threshold into the ranks of major clans.

That was precisely the level the Dantai family had once reached.

As for now, the overall strength of the Dantai family was even higher—and that was without counting her, an Eighth Heaven powerhouse.

[Zhao Qinghui]: Next is Su Mo. To be honest, when I first heard the information that ca back about him, I was quite surprised.

Zhao Qinghui's words imdiately piqued the won's curiosity, making them even more eager for what would follow.

[Zhao Qinghui]: First of all, Su Mo's background is highly questionable. Although he's nominally the family head's son, Su Qing has publicly expressed his disgust toward Su Mo more than once.

[Zhao Qinghui]: Secondly, Su Mo didn't grow up in the Su family from birth. He was only sent to the Su family when he was three years old. It's said that he was a child born to Su Qing's first wife.

[Zhao Qinghui]: As for Su Qing's first wife—that's where things get strange. I wasn't able to find even the slightest trace of information about her, as if she had been erased from existence.

[Zhao Qinghui]: Taking all this into account, I suspect that Su Mo may not actually be Su Qing's biological son. That would also explain why Su Qing harbors such deep aversion toward him.

[Zhao Qinghui]: Of course, none of that is important. Let's get back to Su Mo himself. First of all, Su Mo is a waste—not in the taphorical sense, but a genuine one. He possesses what the cultivation world universally recognizes as a waste body, the Spirit Aperture Body.

Seeing this, the won in the group couldn't help but nod in agreent.

Yet at the sa ti, a question arose in their hearts.

Since Su Mo was a universally acknowledged waste body, how did he, in the future, step by step cultivate all the way to the Eleventh Heaven, a realm already approaching the very peak of this world?
