High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

"Of course I trust you. You can take all these rare and precious materials from the national treasury. We will buy back the pills made from them according to their corresponding value."

Without a second thought, Mr. Guo agreed to Chen Mo's request.

Chen Mo's words gave him a huge surprise. He didn't expect Chen Mo to know how to refine pills. This was a pleasant surprise.

"Alright, I'll accept all these spiritual herbs and fruits. However, these people need to be quite agile and advanced, so they'll also need some common spiritual herbs. I think the national treasury still has some, right?"

"Yes, of course! I'll take you there to get it right now! But take as many of these rare and precious herbs as you can; even if you don't need them, your family can."

Old Guo tried again to persuade Chen Mo to take more, as he felt he owed Chen Mo a great deal for taking so few rare and precious materials.

To survive the catastrophe 10 years from now, we need Chen Mo's help. Giving him so little now would be a huge problem if it hinders his growth.

"Alright then, I'll take some more!" Chen Mo had no choice but to take some more rare and precious herbs. This time he took a lot, about 1000 kinds.

These things were prepared for his parents and younger sister; other rare and precious materials were of no use to him.

Even though he took more than 1000 kinds, I still felt that Chen Mo hadn't taken enough, and I wanted to persuade him to take more.

However, Chen Mo refused them all. These things represented the accumulated wealth of the Great Xia Kingdom over 1000 years. He already felt that taking so many things was a bit too much for him, and he would feel guilty if he took even more.

Seeing Chen Mo's resolute attitude, Elder Guo had no choice but to take Chen Mo to the ordinary treasure vault to get medicinal herbs.

After collecting the medicinal herbs, Chen Mo suddenly stopped as he passed a treasure vault where weapons were stored.

"Old Guo, wait a minute, I want to go take a look at the armory."

"Huh?" Old Guo looked puzzled, but quickly came to his senses. Since it was Chen Mo's request, he naturally agreed.

"Alright, I'll take you inside. This armory contains most of the weapons that aren't very useful, but they are of high quality, so they've been kept here all this time."

As they walked, Elder Guo explained things to Chen Mo, but finally, he asked the question that had been bothering him: "Did you sense some kind of treasure?"

"Um!"

Chen Mo nodded. "I feel there's something inside that's perfect for me."

"If it's useful to you, we'll go in and get it right away!"

The two quickly entered the armory, with Elder Guo standing aside, letting Chen Mo search for the weapons himself.

With Chen Mo's strength and mental power, he could scan and know where things were without needing anyone's help.

Soon, Chen Mo found something that resonated with him.

This is a dark banner cloth, somewhat tattered, with missing corners and many small holes. Even in such a tattered state, the banner cloth still emits a faint black aura.

Seeing Chen Mo holding the dark banner, Old Guo immediately went over:

"Xiao Mo, this thing is a bit strange. Are you sure it will work on you? It emits black smoke that has a strong corrosive effect on true essence and can also affect a person's soul. Many people have studied this banner, but no one has figured it out."

"Several researchers have been affected by the black lacquer on this banner, leading to mental breakdowns and even madness. You need to be careful when you conduct your research."

"If possible, it's best not to study it, but to seal it away directly."

"To be honest, we also wanted to destroy it, but we couldn't destroy it no matter what we did, so we could only put it here and seal it up."

With a worried look on his face, Old Guo told Chen Mo the whole story of the banner.

Chen Mo listened attentively, and nodded only after Guo Lao finished speaking.

"Please rest assured, Elder Guo, I will be careful. I will not do anything I am not sure of. The black aura on this banner will not have much of an effect on me."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Chen Mo caused the faint black mist on the banner to dissipate immediately.

Without the black aura, the banner became ordinary, and the runes on it became visible.

Guo Lao subconsciously used his spiritual power to investigate and found that the runes had combined into three characters.

He is not an expert in this field and does not recognize these three characters.

"Xiao Mo, do you recognize the three characters on the banner?"

Through preliminary research and exploration, Chen Mo learned some information about the banner.

Besides the faint black mist emanating from the banner, countless runes were also visible on its surface, which awkwardly combined to form three large seal script characters:

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

If Chen Mo hadn't possessed strong mental power and keen perception, he would have had a hard time even seeing those three words clearly.

This is exactly the Emperor's Banner he wanted!

You call it the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls? No, no, no, it's the Banner of the Human Emperor.

Chen Mo's Emperor Banner hadn't been forged yet; he was just missing a piece of banner cloth. Unexpectedly, he found a suitable one here.

Once it's finished being made, just change the three characters "万魂幡" (Wanhun Banner) to "人皇旗" (Human Emperor Banner).

Chen Mo didn't try to hide anything and told Guo Lao directly.

"These three characters mean 'Ten Thousand Souls Banner,' and its true form should be a weapon that controls and attacks souls."

"I see. No wonder that black aura affects a person's spirit and soul. This banner is rather strange; we must be careful when studying it."

Having just demonstrated his skills, Elder Guo no longer advised Chen Mo against studying the banner.

"Yes, I know!" Chen Mo then put the banner into his spatial ring and left the national treasury with Elder Guo.

After leaving the national treasury, Guo Lao had to handle some business, so he parted ways with Chen Mo.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Chen Mo returned to the state guesthouse and told his family about the celebration banquet.

At 7 p.m., Chen Mo took his parents and Li Mengxue's family to attend the celebration banquet.

Although it was a small celebration banquet, every participant was a big shot.

Chen Mo naturally became the focus of the entire audience. The youngest Martial Saint, who had quelled the surging beast tide, and was so young, how could he not attract attention?

Correspondingly, these people treated Chen Mo's family, as well as his girlfriend Li Mengxue and her parents, with great politeness and without any belittling or contemptuous attitude.

We are all respectable people; how could we possibly speak rudely in such a setting?

No one would dare to offend Chen Mo, the youngest Martial Saint, easily.

After the award ceremony, Chen Mo was surrounded by Guo Lao and others for a chat.

Chen Mo's parents, Li Mengxue, and others watched quietly from the back seats, each with a proud and self-satisfied expression on their faces.

The group discussed Chen Mo in hushed tones, their voices filled with pride.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice came:

"Hello! Excuse me!"

Li Mengxue and the others looked up and saw the person who had arrived, and immediately knew the other party's purpose.

"You must be a descendant of the Holy Heavenly Martial Saint, right? I suppose you'd like to ask us if we are also his descendants?"

As soon as they entered the venue, Chen Mo told Li Mengxue and the others about the Li family, so Li Mengxue's family was prepared.

"How did you know?" the visitor asked in astonishment.
