Chapter 1064 -673: The Deal with the White-Robed Grandmaster_2
The four major families of Hua Country had now all submitted, and the elderly man with the surname Liu did not go back on his word. Last night, he formally handed over a Great Restoration Pill to Chu Mo.
Seeing that Chu Mo had in fact fulfilled the agreed-upon commitment, the man in white across from him took a deep breath, momentarily feeling somewhat suffocated.
The man in white turned his gaze to the S-tier mission behind him and, after a moment of silence, slowly began to speak:
“I had originally thought that Mr. Chu would use the tasks here to collect Great Restoration Pills. If he really could have completed that, it would prove that Mr. Chu’s task hall here indeed serves a purpose. In that case, I would also have issued a top-tier mission here. However, in the end, Mr. Chu accomplished the task with his own methods, which was beyond my expectations. But since Mr. Chu has completed the task, I, Bai, naturally cannot break the promise. I will assist Miss Qin in enhancing her strength as soon as possible, allowing her to reach the peak of half-step Grandmaster. Whether she can break through to become a Great Grandmaster, that I cannot guarantee, after all, reaching the level of Great Grandmaster is truly defying the heavens. Even looking across our entire Hua Country, there are only three individuals who have achieved such a feat.
However, correspondingly, Mr. Chu promised me a condition…!”
As the man in white’s words came to an end, Chu Mo nodded solemnly, his voice filled with gravity:
...
“As long as Qin Lan can advance further, whatever demand Mr. Bai puts forward, I will find a way to fulfill it. Please rest assured on this point, Mr. Bai.”
Following Chu Mo’s words, the man in white in front of him no longer hesitated. He nodded lightly, then spoke with equal gravity:
“Since that is the case, I still believe in Mr. Chu’s character. There’s no need to continue issuing the S-tier mission here. This task regarding the Great Restoration Pill is already known by almost all top-tier wealthy circles around the world. If they wanted to trade, they should have brought forth the Great Restoration Pill by now. The fact that it has been delayed until now only shows that they don’t intend to part with the Great Restoration Pill, no matter how much sincerity Mr. Chu shows.”
Chu Mo’s gaze shifted to the S-tier mission in front of him. He nodded just as seriously. This mission had been hanging there for more than two months, moreover, it had ascended from the lowest D-tier mission all the way to an S-tier mission. If there really had been the intention to trade, those possessing the Great Restoration Pill would have come forward long ago; there was no need to continue waiting.
Chu Mo gave a slight nod to the man in white standing barely able to keep steady, speaking with a touch of helplessness:
“That’s how it is here. Although some top-tier tycoons are willing to pay a certain price for the No. 1 Longevity Pill, this price is surely one that doesn’t threaten their own interests or cause them any harm. Therefore, the task hall can only issue tasks that are the icing on the cake. No one would take on the real danger, like pulling chestnuts out of the fire.
However, this is all because the No. 1 Longevity Pill is not attractive enough yet. I believe that when the even more refined No. 2 Longevity Pill truly comes into existence, then for the sake of survival, many people will not hesitate to act, even if it means damaging their own interests or even bankrupting themselves.”
“And, this time should not be too far off.”
Chu Mo’s voice was steady, and his face also wore an air of utmost confidence.
The man in white squinted his eyes slightly, sensing an immense aura from Chu Mo’s demeanor. Even though Chu Mo himself had no combat strength, merely being an ordinary person, the strong presence emanating from him was such that even many half-step Grandmasters might not possess.
After a brief moment, the man in white who had been nodding lightly no longer hesitated and directly spoke:
“Mr. Chu, as per our agreement, once you find a Great Restoration Pill, I will help you enhance Miss Qin Lan’s strength. At the same time, you must agree to a condition from me. My condition is for Mr. Chu to issue a highest top-tier mission at the Longevity Club. The content of this mission is to provide a Golden Core.”
Once the man in white finished speaking, Chu Mo’s face showed no surprise. Instead, he nodded as if it were a matter of course, indicating his agreement.
Golden Core, that was an elixir even more precious than the Great Restoration Pill. If a Great Restoration Pill could enhance a white-garbed man’s chances of advancement by twenty percent, then a Golden Core could provide a forty percent chance of progression.
The effectiveness of the Golden Core was even more terrifying, and its quantity was far rarer. Only those secretive, powerful families or true martial arts Great Grandmasters could possess a Golden Core, and unlike the Great Restoration Pill—which, while also extremely difficult to come by, it was certain that there were still seven or eight pills left in the world—it was not at all clear whether any Golden Cores remained.
There was a very strong possibility that not a single Golden Core existed in the entire world anymore.
However, even so, Chu Mo still agreed to the white-garbed man’s invitation. After today, he would cancel the S-rank task regarding the Great Restoration Pills in the task hall; at the same time, he would issue a highest top-tier SSS-rank task about the Golden Core.

Any person who could complete this task would automatically gain the highest level of SSS membership at the Longevity Club. The rights wielded by members of this level could even be spoken of in the same breath as the three giants of the Longevity Club. They could mobilize all of the club’s resources at will. Aside from Chu Mo, an SSS member in the Longevity Club was an existence second only to one but above tens of thousands.
Chu Mo was willing to issue such a top-tier task because he was well aware that this task would most likely never be completed. After all, a Golden Core was like treating a high-ranking Great Grandmaster, its preciousness simply couldn’t be replaced by any worldly object.
Chu Mo reached an agreement with the white-garbed man in front of him, and only then did his mood slightly relax.
“Mr. Chu, since it’s like that, I might as well take advantage of the rare opportunity now and have a good talk with Miss Qin. After all, I’ll have to return to Xiangjiang soon, and time is precious.”
As the white-garbed man finished speaking and waited for Chu Mo’s subtle nod, his figure instantly turned into a residual image. When Chu Mo came back to his senses, the white-garbed man who had been standing beside him had already disappeared without a trace.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo couldn’t help feeling some emotion. The so-called martial arts Great Grandmaster really was not an existence to be trifled with. If one were truly targeted by a Great Grandmaster, in a life-or-death struggle, then no matter who it was, there really would not be a good ending.
As Chu Mo was struck by this thought, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed heir to the Ross family, Geng Pan, holding a wine goblet, once again walked over to Chu Mo.
“Chu, you know, I came here this time on the old man’s orders. The old man is really interested in your Number Two Longevity Pill. Chu, give me a straight answer, when exactly will your Number Two Longevity Pill be ready?”
Standing at one meter ninety with an absolutely handsome face, Geng Pan looked seriously concerned. Chu Mo did not conceal anything from this old friend. Lifting his own wine goblet, he touched it lightly against the other’s and then spoke with a full smile.
“When it will be ready, I really can’t say for sure. You can’t blame me for that, as even those scientists cannot guarantee it. They always say science is rigorous but also unpredictable. Even when I ask them for an accurate research timetable, they just push me away.
But one thing is for sure: the process for making our Number Two Longevity Pill has already been completed up to ninety-five percent. Although we don’t have an exact completion date, roughly speaking, it should be finished within a month…!
Mr. Geng Pan, I believe this news should be enough for you to report back with. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let me introduce you to a new friend. She is a rising star from Hua Country, and she will definitely satisfy Mr. Geng Pan!”
Chu Mo finished, his gaze shifting, and he quickly set his sights on Liu Liu, who was in the center of the hall.
When Chu Mo signaled with a gentle wave, the girl with the sweet smile immediately stepped forward and walked towards them.
