Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 264 - 119: Flesh Born from Soul Iron, Blood Crystal Creatures, the Golden Cicada’s Shell Returns
The two of them traveled all the way to Beijiang Prefecture and heard that the local authorities were recruiting Wild Honored Guests, so they came.
Firstly, to earn some Blood Gold; secondly, to meet with these big powers and see if there’s a chance to become their formal Tributor; thirdly, because Beijiang Prefecture is more of a marginal place, they figured even if there were dangers, they wouldn’t be too great.
"Brother Mu Er, my husband and I came here, never expecting to meet someone as forthright as you. This time, it was thanks to your information that I didn’t enter that gate, otherwise... I might have taken a solid hit from that trap."
Han Feng laughed heartily.
"That’s Brother Han’s own skill. What’s that got to do with me?" Li Yuan called out "Brother Han" because the other party was indeed several decades older than him...
"Oh? So it turns out that gate had issues? No wonder a few disciples before died as soon as they entered. Now I understand... Brother Han, you really cleared this up for me. I’ll be more cautious next time."
"Hahaha! Brother Mu Er, you’re too modest!"
"Come, let’s have a drink. I heard this wine is not bad, seems to be from Ningyu Commerce Association.
I originally didn’t think much of it, wondering what good wine could come from this place.
But unexpectedly, after a taste, it’s good, truly damn good."
Li Yuan never forgot to promote his family’s wine, hoping to break into the high-end market, while he filled their cups with "Spring Dream Brew."
Han Feng took a sip, savored it, and his eyes lit up, "Good wine! I’ll have the association send over a dozen jars later!"
As they were talking, the door beside them opened, and a graceful woman walked in, placing two steaming dishes on the stone table. She then looked at the two of them drinking and said with a smile, "You two get along so well, why not become sworn brothers?"
Li Yuan was taken aback.
Are you kidding me?
But Han Feng laughed, "What does Brother Mu Er think of this idea?"
Li Yuan replied, "Although Brother Han and I hit it off immediately..."
Han Feng waved his hand and said, "Oh, Brother Mu Er, you may not know, I just like making brothers along the way... I’ve recognized quite a few brothers."
Li Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Oh, I see, so he’s become sworn brothers with many people, well then...
Thereafter, with Han Feng’s immense enthusiasm, Li Yuan couldn’t resist and was pulled into becoming sworn brothers.
Afterward, Han Feng, excitedly patting Li Yuan’s shoulder, said, "Good brother, good brother!"
Leng Rou beside him also watched with a cheerful expression.
After becoming sworn brothers, the relationship between the three became even closer.
Han Feng thought for a while, took out a shiny, intricately carved token depicting seven distinct long swords, and said, "This is a VIP Token from my Snow Mountain Seven Sword Alliance. Brother Mu Er, you’re welcome to visit our sect whenever you have the time.
With this token, it’s like seeing the Ancestor.
Though our Snow Mountain Seven Sword Alliance doesn’t control the Life Atlas, it’s still a significant power locally."
Then, he paused and said with a smile, "Actually, whether strong or not doesn’t really matter for people like us. My point is, the Snow Mountain is quite scenic. If in the future Brother Mu Er wants to go traveling, you might as well take a look."
Li Yuan knew that Han Feng hoped that his sect with a Sixth Grade Powerhouse might occasionally look after them, so he casually accepted the token, then sighed, "Nowadays, it’s dangerous to go anywhere, there are troubles everywhere."
Han Feng chuckled, "Most trouble occurs in bustling places.
But in remote places like the Snow Mountain, there are far fewer issues.
Otherwise, how could my wife and I live peacefully in the Snow Mountain for decades?"
Li Yuan paused, then started chatting with Han Feng about this "Snow Mountain Seven Sword Alliance."
Leng Rou listened with a smile beside them.
The atmosphere was harmonious...
...
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
During one outing, Han Feng suffered a minor injury.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan had four consecutive injury-free outings.
It’s not that he wanted to avoid injury, but knowing the traps were there, he just couldn’t fall for them...
Primarily because pretending to be injured afterward would be very difficult.
He had a lot of [Copper Pendants], and untested suspected Protective Shadow Blood. How could he pretend to be injured without getting injured?
Others aren’t blind, and he wasn’t very good at acting injured either.
Thus, the Blood Gold in his pocket amounted to 190 taels.
And the gaze of those around him was filled with unabashed respect.
This respect made Li Yuan extremely uneasy, so after some thought, he went to the supply station of the three families, carefully selecting and purchasing a standard Sleeve Blade. Usually, it’s just a handle, but when the trigger is pressed, the blade extends to about half an arm’s length.
The blade itself had a strange red-black color exuding a burning aura and appeared slightly transparent under the sunlight.
"What material is this?" Li Yuan asked casually.
The disciple respectfully replied, "Reporting, Mr. Mu Er, this is Blood Gold Crystal."
Blood Gold Crystal?
Li Yuan immediately thought of "Soul Iron Crystal."
Soul Iron Crystal, which could grow flesh and blood.
This Blood Gold Crystal, does it...
"Will this blade produce a Sword Spirit?" Li Yuan deliberately asked offhandedly.
The disciple said, "Mr. Mu Er, you jest. Although such a weapon could be called Divine Soldiers in the Social World, it cannot produce a Sword Spirit...
However, higher quality Blood Gold Crystal might..."
Li Yuan asked, "Is this a lower quality one?"
The disciple quickly replied, "Of course not."
Subsequently, after a series of questions from Li Yuan, perhaps these matters were not considered secrets by the major powers, the disciple responsible for the transaction revealed a general outline of what he knew.
Blood Gold Crystal and Soul Iron Crystal are relatively common forging metals after Sixth Grade.
But common doesn’t mean cheap; rather, it means that many powerhouses’ weapons are forged from this.
