Chapter 834: Chapter 470: Refusing to Give Up
Taking the metals out of the packaging box, along with other things he discovered, this pile of treasures almost filled the entire room. He quickly organized various metal-related items into storage stones. Later, he also stored the furnace he encountered inside the grave into a storage stone, and found all the metal ores, weapons, and armor he discovered. This was the storage stone he sent to Cou Ling the next day.
Visiting Cou Ling wasn’t his only goal; he also needed to visit Gao Yan to obtain some information about who survived and who perished in the grave. Although he was not like the Royal Family members who lose power every time a Saint dies, Yan Xiaobao needed to know how much power the Third Prince left behind.
He also hoped to hear some news about Sha Yun; she hadn’t returned home, nor had her friends. This made Yan Xiaobao a little worried.
Looking at the growing collection of items in the box, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but sigh. ’Is this really a suitable trash bin? How many things does this place store?’ He thought of Lan Feng, who was completely exhausted after just glancing at a small portion of the treasure.
Some of the treasures he attempted to summon didn’t move at all, meaning he didn’t have the power to control them. He knew that his power wasn’t enough to use some of the treasures left behind. Xu Yue quickly stopped contemplating these treasures and instead, her consciousness left the box and once again entered her body. The entire room was still full of treasures he moved into the bedroom from the box. Looking out the window, he saw the sun slowly rising.
Slowly sorting through the treasures, some items were returned to the box, while others were placed into storage stones he planned to give to others. After a while, he stood there, ready with many storage stones, for the important people in his life.
He spent about an hour, and when he finally finished, he could feel the people inside the mansion waking up and moving around doing their daily chores.
With one last glance at the room to ensure he hadn’t missed anything, Hui Yue finally left, heading towards the dining room. Xu Biao was sitting there eating, which was rare for him, as most of his focus was on cultivation. His goal of reaching God Level was his only aim in life, and he usually only ate once a month.
"Biao! My good friend, please accept this. I obtained it in the grave, and I believe it will greatly benefit your training."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Biao reflexively looked up, catching the tossed storage stone. When he saw some golden pills, he frowned; pills he had never seen or heard of before. But knowing Yan Xiaobao, they were definitely significant.
Nodding to Yan Xiaobao, Xu Biao instantly vanished from the dining room, rushing to his room to prepare for more cultivation.
Shortly after Xu Biao left, Wang Julong appeared. If this had been before their conversation, she would have definitely run away or pretended Yan Xiaobao didn’t exist in some way, but instead she moved to sit next to him and eat. Although she said nothing, her actions were enough to fill Yan Xiaobao’s heart with warmth.
Picking up a stone, he placed it in front of her. "I know you already have a good weapon," he said gently, "but within this stone is a piece of armor. This armor is as soft as silk but as durable as black iron. It’s a treasure of the mortal rank. It can save your life, so I want you to have it."
"Mortal rank treasure?" Wang Julong asked in confusion, and Yan Xiaobao quickly described the different ranks of treasures that existed. This description led Wang Julong to listen intently, and when she understood about treasures with consciousness, her face was full of surprise.
"Hey, wait a minute!" She was stunned to hear this, but her expression quickly changed. "My spear has a soul, does that mean it’s a God-ranked weapon?" She asked, dumbfounded, and Hui Yue suddenly remembered the red weasel, which he saw when she first used her weapon. "I think so..." he said hesitantly. "I can’t find another reason why it would have a soul, but I think it must have been injured. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to bind it."
Wang Julong nodded and looked inside the stone. She found some healing pills and books from the Cosmic Box where Yan Xiaobao found them.
Shortly afterwards, Lao and Qiao appeared in the dining room. They both rushed to Wang Julong and sat down obediently. Yan Xiaobao also tossed two storage stones to the two children.
"Inside your stones is a weapon, a set of armor, some pills suitable for your rank, and some Spirit Coins. This belongs to you, so you can do whatever you want with it. Consider it your allowance for the month." Yan Xiaobao chuckled. The two children were very shocked as they accepted the stones and quickly looked inside.
They had never owned more than a few copper coins before, but now they both had ten Soul Coins as well as weapons and armor. Their hands trembled, their eyes wide open. They tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out. After a few seconds, Lao finally stood up and bowed to Yan Xiaobao in gratitude.
Hui Yue waved his hand and laughed. "Don’t worry; you are my children. What kind of parent would I be if I didn’t give you any money to spend on the things you want from time to time? You both work hard, so you deserve it," he said, nodding before he left with a smile.
"I need to go out and see some friends. Yesterday you said you didn’t want to go with me, but you wanted to go with Ju Long. Why don’t you three go have some fun? You’ve been working hard and need a break," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile on his face. He stood up, stroking Wang Julong’s long hair, and gave her a gentle smile before leaving the room. He left the mansion and headed to the Blacksmith Shop of Cou Ling, to deliver things he thought were suitable for her. Walking through the city, nothing much had changed since he left for the unknown grave. Most commoners were busy doing household chores for their masters, while others were busy selling their goods. In the Capital, cultivators flocked from all over. Many cultivators hoped to buy medicinal medicine and elixirs to help them as they left the city for adventures, while others sold the treasures they had already gained, and most were just looking for treasures they couldn’t afford.
The streets were bustling with people, and even though Yan Xiaobao rushed through them like the wind, he found it hard to move around in this maze of people. At least he had Velocity Flow to help him, so neither the people around him nor those near him could see him. All they felt was a breeze, which they enjoyed in the hot summer air.
Using Velocity Flow to move like a phantom, Hui Yue soon arrived at his destination, but as he entered the alley leading to the shop, he saw that many people were already waiting to enter. Most likely these were young family masters who benefited from the grave trip and gained some coins. Any expert with enough funds knew that the most critical items were the weapons. A weapon is what one’s strength relies on, and no one made better weapons than the spiritual blacksmith Cou Ling.
Considering whether he should line up, Hui Yue quickly decided against it. He had other things he needed to do today; thus, once again, he activated Velocity Flow and jumped to the top of the shop. He moved slightly and then jumped into the courtyard behind the shop and blacksmith.
From the back, Yan Xiaobao looked into the shop and saw Fang Wei working hard, running from one end to the other. Wrapping weapons in tanned beast hides and fueling others that needed it.
However, despite Fang Wei’s busyness, Cou Ling didn’t appear in the shop, and within the Blacksmith Shop itself, the regular sound of hammers hitting metal could be heard. Knowing there was only one spiritual blacksmith in the shop, Yan Xiaobao instantly headed towards the sound.
Opening the door, he was hit by a wave of hot air, almost making him step back. The temperature inside the blacksmith was very warm, impossible to think it was comfortable, but in the middle, Cou Ling stood near a gigantic furnace. She was completely focused on the metal before her, without a single drop of sweat visible on her face.
Hui Yue stood silently to the side, saying nothing, as he patiently waited for Cou Ling to finish what she was doing. He knew if he interrupted her when her mind was so focused, it would affect the weapon she was forging.
Cou Ling took about four hours to finish the weapon in her hand, which was made using Nine Heaven’s Blood Devouring Metal as she wielded her hammer.
Once the weapon fell into the water bucket, Cou Ling turned around, surprised to see Yan Xiaobao. "You’re back home?" She asked curiously, and Yan Xiaobao nodded before finding a storage stone in his pocket and tossing it to Cou Ling, who caught it reflexively.
"What’s this?" She asked curiously, but Yan Xiaobao said nothing. All he did was smile, waiting for the woman to look at the stone. Frowning, she looked through its contents, and her face quickly changed. Her jaw dropped, her furrowed brows disappeared, and her eyes filled with incredibility.
