Chapter 831 - 469: Another Way (Part 2)
Seeing the bowing child, Yan Xiaobao could immediately see the child’s thoughts. He knew that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t make the child believe him. Instead, he mocked the child’s hair, which surprised Lao and made him rise again.
Yan Xiaobao’s face showed an expression of care. "It’s past your bedtime, so hurry and go to sleep. Tomorrow you have another busy day." Thinking for a while, Yan Xiaobao looked at the two children. "You’ve been working hard. I’m going to town tomorrow, would you like to come with me? You must be bored staying in the mansion."
Hearing this invitation, Lao’s eyes were suddenly filled with excitement, but it soon faded, and he shook his head. "We’re happy here, as long as we’re hungry, we have food. We have warm beds to sleep in, and we’re well educated. We don’t need to go to town."
The reply shocked Yan Xiaobao, but then Wang Julong spoke. After the children called her mother, whenever she looked at the two, a warm and loving feeling formed in her heart.
"I’ll be going out tomorrow too. Don’t you want to help me carry groceries?" she gently asked, leaving Lao unable to refuse. Instead, he hesitated and nodded. Seeing how he finally agreed, Qiao clapped her little hands and started laughing excitedly.
When he saw how the children agreed to follow Wang Julong instead of himself, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but chuckle. Clearly, they still felt some fear towards Yan Xiaobao, whereas their reservations towards Wang Julong were nonexistent.
Understanding the children’s feelings, Yan Xiaobao was not saddened by this. Therefore, he decided to patiently await the day when they no longer feared him, rather than pushing them.
"Anyway, let’s go to bed quickly tomorrow," he told the children, gently guiding them towards the mansion. When Yan Xiaobao was Lao’s age, he didn’t sleep. He stayed up all night, knowing Lao would too; however, it was getting cold outside. If they sat on the ground too long, the children might catch cold. Even if they were cultivators, they were just children. If they were to practice all night, Yan Xiaobao preferred them doing it in a warm room.
As they entered the mansion, the group split up. Wang Julong grabbed her hand and immediately disappeared into her room; her face still a bit red from holding hands, the two children also rushed back to their room as Hui Yue had instructed them.
After standing alone in the hallway, now that everyone had disappeared who was with him, Yan Xiaobao sighed.
"Let’s take some time to see what kind of treasures we obtained from the tomb," he thought as he walked towards his bedroom.
He strolled in his robe, finding stone after stone until a pile had accumulated on his bed. Next to the storage stones was a gold metal box with beautiful carvings.
"Let’s look at the storage stones first," he decided, with Lan Feng saying nothing.
The first storage stone he collected contained four thousand red pills, one thousand golden pills, one thousand white pills, four hundred purple pills, and one hundred black pills. Among all these pills, Yan Xiaobao only knew the effects of the red, golden, and white pills; he hadn’t taken the time to understand the last pills, and he wasn’t keen on consuming them. A dangerous aroma surrounded them.
"Let’s look into them later," he decided, placing the storage stone beside him.
Picking up another stone, he quickly found it belonged to a Saint he had killed. The storage stone contained random treasures like weapons and armor and some medicinal pills. Both types of medicine came from the tomb but were merely pills from the world. Besides, there were quite a few spirit coins, but Yan Xiaobao wasn’t after spirit coins.
Among all the storage stones in the pile, half came from experts he killed while using Blizzard Prison. Within their storage stones, he discovered various treasures, mainly weapons, armor, and some medicinal pills. He also found some containing Memory Stones with martial arts and spiritual arts. Looking through them, he discovered that none were better than what he got from Lan Feng. Therefore, he quickly decided to give them to Lao. The young talent could decide how he wished to handle them himself.
As Yan Xiaobao organized his newly acquired treasures, he summarized what he had. He had a storage stone containing weapons, and a storage stone filled with armor. There was one holding Memory Stones containing martial arts and spiritual arts, and a storage stone holding his spirit coins. His current Gold Coin storage stone could no longer fit coins.
After examining all the storage stones, he also discovered the recipe for making Transmission Liquid and most of the herbs from another world. Those medicinal herbs were so abundant, all these filled Yan Xiaobao with joy.
After organizing his storage stones, Yan Xiaobao focused on the golden box before him. "Cosmic Box, then." he quietly said as he picked it up. The moment he touched it, it was as if an unseen tremor passed through the metal.
Pumping his Qi into the box yielded no results. Spiritual energy was equally useless, however, when he poured Wu Wei into the Cosmic Box, it suddenly began to glow and became increasingly hot.
