Master Feng's face turned red with excitement, and even the Magic Masters he had encountered could not achieve such a feat, just what was the level of this young man's cultivation?
In fact, the reason Lin Mo could make flowers bloom with a single thought was mainly because he had cultivated a Wood Element Cultivation Technique, and he had already achieved a small degree of success.
If Lin Mo were to truly recover to his peak strength and cultivate the Yang Wood Divine Skill to Great Perfection, not to mention just a single villa's garden, even the vegetation on the entire Earth could be made to grow wildly with a single thought, turning the Earth into a true green planet.
Just as everyone was in a state of shock, a black water arrow suddenly shot towards Lin Mo with a hiss, speeding like lightning.
"Seeking death!"
Lin Mo slapped towards the person who had cast the spell, and their face changed drastically.
The one casting the spell was Xiu Hongyi. Seeing Lin Mo's formidable power, he immediately made his move, planning to catch him off guard.
But he had completely underestimated Lin Mo's strength.
A great sense of danger appeared in his heart, and above his head, a golden Hand Seal about thirty feet in size appeared, pressing down with mountain-like pressure from above. This pressure had locked onto him, and no matter how much he tried to struggle, he couldn't escape. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to twitch a finger.
Just as the Handprint was about to come crashing down, Xiu Hongyi suddenly shouted loudly, "Master, spare my life, I have something for you."
Lin Mo frowned slightly and withdrew the Handprint.
Xiu Hongyi was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been through a cycle of life and death.
"Thank you, Master, for sparing my life..." Xiu Hongyi bent over and bowed his head in a most respectful manner.
While speaking, Xiu Hongyi suddenly raised his head, and two beams of black light shot out from his pupils with a speed faster than bullets, heading straight for Lin Mo.
At the same time, Xiu Hongyi made a Hand Seal, and his entire person turned into a streak of black light, swiftly escaping towards the outside. Everyone only felt a gust of wind pass by, and Xiu Hongyi had already reached a hundred meters away.
But before Xiu Hongyi could escape, suddenly a mass of thunderclouds gathered between heaven and earth, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a tree trunk fell from the sky. With a destructive power, it obliterated Xiu Hongyi, along with his Divine Soul, into thin air.
In an instant, a span of several dozen meters around the garden was leveled to the ground, and the powerful force contained within the lightning shattered trees and rocks into pieces, leaving behind only a crater about three meters wide at the original location.
The Chu Family members were utterly stunned; they had just seen Lin Mo lift his arm, and he had summoned Heavenly Thunder.
The destruction caused by the Heavenly Thunder was equivalent to a bomb being dropped.
Now, everyone looked at Lin Mo with completely different eyes, filled with fear and deep reverence.
Such a terrifying young man!
Lin Mo reached out through the space and caught a black object that flew from the crater into his hand.
In his hand was a box about two fingers in length and width, entirely black, which had not been destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder he had summoned; clearly, it was no ordinary item.
Lin Mo tossed the items into his Space Ring, for he had no time yet to examine them carefully.
Everyone, after their initial shock, now looked toward Lin Mo with eyes filled with awe and fear. To summon Heavenly Thunder, just like a missile attack, was simply unheard of.
Chu Ruoyu stared at Lin Mo, and upon her petite face, alongside the shock, was even more of a delight. This time, she would no longer be looked down upon by anyone; her father had indeed brought back a true master.
As for Chu Xinde, Chu Lianghua, and others, their expressions turned ugly. If such a master were to aid Chu Feiwan, the Chu Family's future enterprise might fall into Chu Feiwan's hands.
Thinking of this, Chu Xinde and Chu Lianghua both somewhat regretted not having a beautiful daughter themselves. After all, how could Chu Feiwan invite someone of Lin Mo's strength, unless the latter took an interest in Chu Ruoyu?
"How amazing," Xue Pei exclaimed with her little face flushed, both excited and afraid, her eyes filled with admiration as she watched Lin Mo.
Chu Mo and Chu Yue both turned pale, fearing that for offending Lin Mo just now, he might give them a slap and reduce them to ashes.
Chu Tianlan immediately stood up and personally invited Lin Mo into the villa's living room. The entire living room contained only him, Chu Ruoyu, and Lin Mo, and they offered up fragrant tea, showing the utmost respect and reverence towards Lin Mo.
As for Chu Xinde and the others, they could only stand waiting at the entrance, without even the qualifications to enter.
Chu Tianlan, standing at the peak of Bin Hai's wealthiest, naturally saw things differently from others. With his vision and insight, he deeply understood that if a family wanted to grow into a great family and protect its base, it definitely required the assistance of someone with great strength.
If he could please Lin Mo, even if he died now, the Chu Family could be worry-free for decades.
Lin Mo asked about some matters because he had long noticed that Chu Tianlan's ill-health was due to a slow-acting curse that was degrading his health over the course of a year, slowly debilitating him until death.
Only a Magic User above the Foundation Establishment Stage could cast such a curse.
However, Chu Tianlan said he had never seen Xiu Hongyi, which meant there could only be one reason: the one who cursed him was not Xiu Hongyi but another person. This person must surely know Xiu Hongyi; they had set up the plot, first to have Chu Tianlan fall ill, then for Xiu Hongyi to appear, ready to walk away with ten billion.
Lin Mo emitted a breath of Yang Wood Energy to Chu Tianlan, helping him break the curse.
These matters were of no concern to him, and naturally, he did not want to get involved with who cursed him. Since he came across it, he simply lent a hand as a courtesy.
What disappointed Lin Mo was that this matter did not seem to have much to do with Xia Mengdie. When he left the Chu Family, Chu Xinde, Chu Lianghua, Chu Mo, Chu Yue, and others all stood respectfully in two rows, bidding him farewell.
"He didn't take money, he didn't want anything, why help us?" Chu Ruoyu was somewhat puzzled.
Chu Tianlan had just promised Lin Mo a pile of benefits, yet the latter did not show the slightest interest.
Chu Tianlan sighed and a trace of helplessness crossed his face. "I am merely a mortal, after all. How could someone at Master Lin's level care about the things I can offer? If he wanted them, they could be brought to him with a mere gesture! Perhaps what he pursues is something different."
Chu Tianlan looked significantly better, and his eyes, deep with meaning, glanced at Chu Ruoyu, then shook his head. He had just foolishly hoped that Chu Ruoyu could retain Lin Mo. But for a sophisticated individual like Master Lin, probably only a fairy could be his match.
No sooner had Lin Mo left the Chu family, he discovered the white-haired Master Feng waiting at the doorstep.
"Master Lin," Master Feng greeted with a deep bow and respectful posture.
Lin Mo frowned and asked, "What are you waiting here for?"
