Chapter 157: I Don’t Despise You

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: I Don’t Despise You

"Extremely suitable for a lady to take, not to mention preserving youth forever, but it’s almost as good. I’ll give it to you as a gift, my dear niece."

Zhao Jiwu spoke with apparent ease.

But his heart was bleeding.

For this pill was actually intended for his own wife; it just so happened that today was her birthday.

He had been preparing this gift for a long time, nearly two years collecting enough Spiritual Medicine, and then refining this pill.

He was planning to go home tonight and claim the credit.

But unexpectedly, something cropped up out of the blue!

Conveniently, he hadn’t brought anything else with him today, otherwise, he would have been most unwilling to part with it.

Yet he couldn’t not give it, as he was a man with a massive ego; face and reputation meant everything to him!

The crux of the matter was, with Zhu Rong fanning the flames here, if he didn’t give it, he would be known as a deceitful scoundrel.

Damn, he really lost a fortune this time.

And Zhu Rong and the others were shocked to see him give away such a thing, knowing full well its value.

Initially, Zhao Jiwu had spent a great deal and nearly two years acquiring the necessary Spiritual Medicines from them.

Now that he’d successfully refined it, it was intercepted, which surely meant bleeding out.

But Zhu Rong was incredibly joyful inside, completely surprised that his casual words forced Zhao Jiwu to dig into his savings.

So satisfying!

Incredibly satisfying!

But it wasn’t satisfying enough, "Preserving youth forever? That must be a lie; you shouldn’t be tricking children, should you?"

Acting smart after snagging a bargain.

Absolutely despicable.

Zhao Jiwu was truly getting angry, "Hmph, do you think I’m like you, giving away trash that I myself can’t use?"

"My gift is a Sixth Grade Refining Material, how is that trash?"

"Just a mere Sixth Grade, isn’t that trashy?" Zhao Jiwu mocked Zhu Rong’s tone sarcastically.

"You...!"

Zhu Rong’s face changed color.

Just as he was about to begin a war of words, Jiang Wenfu stepped in to mediate, "Alright, the pill is indeed genuine, Xiao Zhan, you should accept it."

With that said, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Joking aside, if he didn’t leave now, might he also be forced into a corner?

He didn’t have such deep pockets.

Didn’t you see Wang Qian had already made a quick getaway?

Xiao Zhan, of course, unceremoniously accepted the pill. He was delighted with the pill, as it would keep his wife beautiful forever.

Splendidly delightful.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Director Zhao."

"Enough with the pleasantries, killing a couple more Demon Beasts is what really counts."

Zhao Jiwu’s heart ached, and he no longer wished to stay at this sorrowful place.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t wait for him to go, lest he have second thoughts.

For he could tell that this item was certainly precious.

After everyone had gone, only Zhu Rong remained.

Zhu Rong was very happy; he had never been able to beat Zhao Jiwu before, but today he made him bleed heavily, which was a true delight.

He patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Well done, lad, I have high hopes for you. I hope that the next time we meet, you will be the new War God of Northern Town!"

"I shall live up to your expectations." Xiao Zhan replied respectfully.

Though unsure why this old man was so kind to him, since he had shown kindness, Xiao Zhan felt he should show respect in return.

"Mm."

Zhu Rong patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder again, then he hurried off.

He walked quite fast, almost as if he had a guilty conscience.

Because he was now in a hurry to go back and tell Zhao Jiwu’s wife about Zhao Jiwu getting the Crystal Jade Skin Pill; heh, Zhao Jiwu was bound to get a good scolding.

...

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their dormitory.

Looking at these two items they got for free, it still felt somewhat unreal.

It was like pie falling from the sky.

He had never believed in such things before, but now that it had happened to him, he believed it.

He picked up the piece of Dark Fire Heavenly Origin and examined it before saying.

"This piece of Dark Fire Heavenly Origin can be used to enhance the Artifact Spirit. If the two of us successfully merge it, then we can possess the Flame attribute."

Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong with an inquiring gaze.

Adding attributes to an Artifact Spirit is a necessary process.

The more attributes an Artifact Spirit has, the more abilities you possess and the more Spirit Manipulation Techniques you can subsequently comprehend.

Moreover, different attributes have different effects, allowing Spirit Masters to deal with more complex opponents and environments.

Apart from a few Artifact Spirits that are suitable for pursuing the ultimate path, ninety-nine percent of Spirit Masters choose to add attributes to their Artifact Spirits.

But this required Ye Youlong’s consent.

After pondering for a while, Ye Youlong said, "The Dark Fire Heavenly Origin is a Sixth Grade Refining Material, and it’s considered a top-grade refining material even among the eight great families, extremely scarce and precious."

"And although it’s a Flame attribute, it’s actually Dark Fire, which coincidentally complements our Death Aura."

"Pursuing the ultimate path by only cultivating Death Aura is still quite difficult for us, I think we can merge it. Having an additional attribute adds another layer of security!"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "I also think so."

He threw the Dark Fire Heavenly Origin into the Dimension Space, then picked up the Crystal Jade Skin Pill.

"Although this Crystal Jade Skin Pill doesn’t help much with cultivation, it contains a rich variety of Spiritual Medicine. Just by a rough Perception, you can feel the energy of many rare Spiritual Medicines."

As he spoke, he placed it in Ye Youlong’s hand and grinned, "Don’t despise me when I’m old."

Ye Youlong’s brows slightly rose, "That depends on your performance."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan became interested.

His gaze scrutinized Ye Youlong, and gradually became boldly mischievous, "So what kind of performance do you want?"

Instantly, Ye Youlong tensed up, and with lightning speed, put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

Then he sat down cross-legged.

"I’ll refine this pill first."

Xiao Zhan’s pouncing movement abruptly halted in mid-air.

You cannot disturb someone refining a pill.

But you want to pull this trick on me, huh?

Heh heh.

You can run from the nunnery, but not from the temple.

Half an hour later.

Ye Youlong opened his eyes, only to find that Xiao Zhan, who usually couldn’t wait to stick to him, was now keeping his distance from her.

And pinching his nose, "Both our origins have been transformed, so how come you’re still excreting so much gunk?"

Ye Youlong glanced at her own body, covered in a layer of black sticky stuff like tar, even smelling foul.

But it wasn’t much, just a thin layer.

Much better than those pools described in novels.

Her expression didn’t change much, she calmly stood up and went into the bathroom.

"Wife, I won’t despise you. Let me help you wash."

"Scram!"
