Chapter 72: The True Jade Flower [Third Update!]
As the conversation reached this point, both sides began to feel a sense of familiarity. The members of the Xie family became enthusiastic, helping Chu Yang carry everything out piece by piece.
Outside, Gu Duxing, who was responsible for receiving the items, was nearly wide-eyed in shock.
Damn, is the boss emptying out the entire Xie family? Looking at the mountain of items piled up in Chu Yang's tent, he had no choice but to clear out the other two tents as well.
"Brother Chu, with so many things, how will you move them?" Xie Danqiong accompanied Chu Yang as he stepped out, saying, "I'll prepare a few carriages for you."
"No need, I have my own methods," Chu Yang smiled.
As they spoke, Xie Danqiong handed over a thick stack of gold notes, "Brother Chu, take this and use it."
"What is this for?" Chu Yang asked in astonishment.
"Brother Chu has given our Xie family a great transformation. The ancestral master has said it is fair to use the entire treasure vault to exchange for your Mysterious Jade Ice Heart. So naturally, this money is yours! We can't take it," Xie Danqiong insisted firmly.
Chu Yang was truly at a loss now. It's one thing to take advantage, but he couldn't take such a huge benefit from them, could he?
Seeing Chu Yang's difficulty, Xie Danqiong couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Chu, I know you feel a bit guilty, but... the things you need are merely for crafting weapons... Hehe, to be honest, I'm really curious if you can actually make them. If you can craft something... wouldn't it be nice to gift me one?"
He patted Chu Yang on the shoulder, saying, "Besides, in the future... we have plenty of time ahead; you need to go to the Ou family, and their treasure vault is no worse than ours. You'll need to take some gold notes with you."
"Hmm?" Chu Yang's mind raced as he accepted the gold notes, casually saying, "Since Brother Xie puts it that way, then I won't be polite." Yet, he had made up his mind that this money absolutely couldn't be paid by the Xie family for nothing.
"Brother Xie, can I see your renowned hidden weapon, the Jade Flower?" Chu Yang asked with great interest.
Xie Danqiong was taken aback and laughed, "Why not?" He then took out his weapon, sighing, "Unfortunately, my Jade Flower is not fully completed yet..."
"Oh?" Chu Yang looked at the two petal-like items, pondering deeply. There were mechanisms on them, and it seemed that with a slight touch, combined with the use of spiritual energy, the sharp petals around would spin rapidly, creating an unstoppable storm that would annihilate any enemy in front.
Xie Danqiong demonstrated, saying, "That's how it works, but... the secret manual I received is a bit incomplete. Although it has considerable power now, it still feels a bit lacking and can't exert its maximum effect..."
"What Jade Flower, turns out to be the Soul Snatching Flower Blade!" The Sword Spirit disdainfully remarked in his mind.
"You know about this thing?" Chu Yang asked in surprise.
"This is the signature weapon of the Soul Snatching Flower Fairy from twenty thousand years ago; once the Soul Snatching Blade is unleashed, the world becomes colorless amidst a flurry of flowers; enemies are beheaded within a vibrant flower rain! It was the number one hidden weapon back then! But this guy Xie Danqiong practices it all wrong!"
The Sword Spirit snorted, "Why do I know? It's because I personally developed this thing when I followed the Seventh Generation Nine Calamity Sword Master, to give that guy as a gift to please his concubine... That Soul Snatching Flower Fairy was his sixth concubine... You think I wouldn't know?"
Chu Yang was astonished, "Ah! Is there such a thing? Do you still have this item?"
The Sword Spirit rolled its eyes, "Do you want it?"
"Of course!"
"It can be made in a moment, but... the Soul Snatching Flower Blade is originally an item for women, and this kid is clearly a man... If he wants to practice it to perfection, it won't be easy," the Sword Spirit looked at Xie Danqiong and said.
