Chapter 122 Inventory
"Yuan Lang, keep this safe. This is a fragment of a second-tier mid-grade magic sword that Dian Mengxiong has nurtured for a hundred years. Its sharpness is extremely astonishing, and even a first-tier defensive magic weapon cannot withstand it."
Although it cannot be refined, it is still a rare treasure for you.
Xu Yuanlang sheathed the sword, hoping to see if he could integrate it into his magic weapon in the future. After all, it was a fragment of a mid-grade second-tier magic sword, and even such a small fragment was extremely precious.
"Clan leader, Yuan Lang has made a great contribution this time. I heard from Yuan Zhen and Lao Dian that this kid saved Yuan Zhen and killed Li Zhixin, who was preparing to break through the spiritual vein of the Red Maple Forest."
Then, the Dian family used Li Zhixin's corpse to persuade Dian Mengxiong, and at the same time, they also killed Li Luomao. Although our Xu family suffered great losses in this battle, we also gained a lot.
"We've acquired two top-grade first-tier spiritual veins and a mine. More importantly, Li Luomao is dead, reducing the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Li family to three. This will lessen the pressure in the future. We should reward Yuan Lang properly."
The elder was so happy that the wrinkles on his face instantly disappeared, and his gaze toward Xu Yuanlang was gentler than ever before.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Last time, I was able to recover from my injuries thanks to Yuan Lang. It's the same this time. I think those two spiritual veins and a mine can compensate Yuan Lang."
Upon hearing that the spirit vein mine was to be handed over to him, Xu Yuanlang waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.
"Clan leader, you mustn't do that. This time, it wasn't just me; everyone in the clan contributed greatly. Besides, what use would I have for the spirit vein mine?"
The clan leader nodded and looked at the elder beside him.
"Yuan Lang has reminded me. How about this, the family will manage the spirit veins and mines on our behalf, and we can simply convert the profits into spirit stones and give them to Yuan Lang each year."
The elder nodded, his expression suggesting he was very satisfied.
"Let's do it this way!"
The two men burst into laughter at Xu Yuanlang's embarrassed appearance as he repeatedly declined. After a long while, they stopped laughing and their expressions became serious.
"Yuan Lang, your injuries are serious. All the healing pills in the family are for you. I just hope you can recover as soon as possible."
Xu Yuanlang nodded repeatedly in response to the clan leader's instructions. His body was aching all over, and he hadn't even fully recovered from his external injuries, let alone his internal ones.
"The clan leader is right. Remember this: never leave any hidden injuries, or you will definitely suffer a terrible setback when you break through in the future."
After the elder finished speaking, he suddenly looked Xu Yuanlang up and down, marveling at his cultivation speed.
"Yuan Lang's cultivation has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Judging by the time it will take, you will probably need several years to heal your injuries. By the time you have healed, it will probably be time for you to break through."
For the next few years, you'll stay on the mountain while the clan chief and I, two old folks, go out and get you a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"By the way, Yuen Long, what was that old man Li Luomao's legacy?"
Xu Yuanlang shook his head and said.
"I'm not too sure about that. I almost immediately passed out after I cut off Li Luomao's head."
When I woke up, I saw my fourth brother. The legacy he left me was given to me later; besides the storage bag, there was only a pair of mid-grade second-tier Yin-Yang Spirit Fruits.
Xu Yuanlang took out the spirit fruit, which was a pair of intertwined fruits with spiral patterns on their surface. One was black and the other was white, one was yin and the other was yang, one was full of spiritual energy and the other was full of demonic energy.
"Hahaha, how ironic. Even though this old guy is dead, his spiritual power and magic power are still intertwined and cannot find peace."
"Oh, right, Yuen Long, you mentioned storage bags? Let me see them."
Xu Yuanlang took out a storage bag embroidered with cloud patterns and handed it over. The clan leader took it and spent some time erasing the markings on it.
"Even after this old man died, the mark on his storage bag is still so hard to find. I'd like to see what treasures are inside."
In a flash of inspiration, the clan leader poured out the spiritual items from his storage bag, and soon a mountain of spiritual items appeared before them.
"Yuan Lang has really struck it rich this time. Not to mention the first-grade pills, he has twelve bottles of second-grade low-grade pills and two bottles of mid-grade pills."
Second-tier, mid-grade Double Dragon Mushroom, Snow Lotus, and Earth-Emerging Fruit are all rare spiritual herbs.
This body-refining technique can be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage, so it must be this old man's own. It doesn't have the core technique of the Li family. But then again, he didn't need to bring it with him.
Unfortunately, all of the old man's magical artifacts were destroyed in the self-destruction. However, he still had quite a few first-tier magical artifacts in his storage bag, which were of little use to Yuan Lang.
"It's not a pity, it's a blessing in disguise. If he still had his magic weapon, Yuan Lang would have had no chance of survival."
But this old man is truly a money-grubber; even though he's seriously injured, he still made sure to protect his storage bag. Look, there's not a speck of dust on it. Now it's all our Yuanlang's."
The clan leader and the eldest elder quickly organized it for him; there were over ten thousand spirit stones alone, not to mention countless other first-tier spiritual herbs and pills.
Some of the items were unfamiliar even to the clan leader and his companion. For safety's sake, they temporarily put them away, planning to have them properly identified by an alchemist later.
"What are you going to do with these things?"
Xu Yuanlang looked at the mountain of spiritual creatures and cupped his hands in greeting to the clan leader.
"Alright, clan leader, the clan can copy these cultivation techniques as they please. First-tier magic artifacts are of little use to me, so the clan can handle them for me."
"I'll keep all the elixirs and pills except those of unknown origin. As for this Yin-Yang Spirit Fruit, what should I do with it, Clan Chief? Should I only eat half of it in the future?"
The two didn't pay much attention to how to deal with Xu Yuanlang, since it all belonged to him. They discussed the Yin-Yang Spirit Fruit.
"This is too wasteful. Let's convert it into spirit stones and sell it to the family. Such a spiritual object that combines yin and yang is too rare. The family has a second-order yin-yang formation, and this spiritual fruit can serve as the formation base."
"This will enhance the power of the formation, so that when the Grand Elder oversees it, he should be able to contend with cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
After dealing with the spiritual objects, Xu Yuanlang's waistline instantly became much fuller, and no one in the Qi Refining Realm was probably richer than him.
"By the way, Yuan Lang, the news that you killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator will definitely spread. At that time, not only will the Li family see you as a thorn in their side and wish they could get rid of you as soon as possible."
Ordinary independent cultivators would probably see you the same way, using you as a shortcut to fame, everyone wanting to climb over you to soar to the top.
"It's not that easy to step on my shoulders."
Xu Yuanlang chuckled, his eyes growing even sharper. The two exchanged a knowing look and laughed, while the Grand Elder looked worried.
"I'm worried about the Cao family..."
"He used the excuse that Yuen Long was seriously injured and receiving treatment to decline the offer."
