Chapter 583 A Treasure Given Away for Free
Chapter 583 A Treasure Given Away for Free
Listening to Yu Dajiang's vivid account of how Xu Fu "slaughtered all sides" on the martial arts tournament stage in Shijiazhuang, Xu Fu felt his face burning. This Yu Dajiang was really good at embellishing the story.
The Xu Fu mentioned by the leader of the Dragon Snake Stronghold was practically a god descended to earth, defeating everyone effortlessly and ultimately "winning the heart of the beauty."
Li Wuji listened with great interest, glancing at Xu Fu from time to time. She seemed to enjoy seeing Xu Fu's embarrassed expression.
"Brother, you've come all this way. I didn't prepare anything special, so please don't be shy about accepting this small token."
After Yu Dajiang finished recounting Xu Fu's heroic deeds, he called out to the door, and four thieves immediately entered.
The four men carried a box and placed it next to Yu Dajiang before leaving.
Yu Dajiang opened the box, and Xu Fu's eyes lit up. It was full of gold and silver jewelry.
"The boss is living a good life!"
Xu Fu pretended not to care, only said a few words in a cold voice, and then began to drink his tea.
Li Wuji did the same, glancing at it only once before looking away, as if the box contained nothing but scrap metal.
Unlike Xu Fu, who was putting on an act, Li Wuji genuinely didn't care about the box of gold and silver. Having grown up in comfort, she had no concept of money.
Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Dajiang was already certain that they had come for that treasure.
"Brother, you're really well-informed!"
Yu Dajiang forced a somewhat forced smile, then took out two jade bottles from his pocket.
Upon seeing the jade bottle, Xu Fu and Li Wuji were immediately drawn to it. They had both studied alchemy and naturally knew what was inside.
Upon seeing this, Yu Dajiang became even more certain of his guess.
"What do you mean by that, Chief?"
Xu Fu did not rush to take the jade bottle, but instead asked with a smile.
"Brother, you're joking! Luckily, I arrived early, otherwise we would have really divided it up!" Yu Dajiang quickly explained, afraid that Xu Fu would misunderstand.
After saying this, Yu Dajiang respectfully handed the two jade bottles to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu took it, opened it, glanced at it, and then gently sniffed it, immediately recognizing what kind of elixir it was.
Iron Skin Dan!
Mighty Dan!
The Mighty Strength Pill is alright, it's only a third-grade pill, but the Iron Skin Pill is a genuine fourth-grade spiritual pill.
These two bottles of medicine are of average quality, but they are not something you can just buy easily.
"that's it?"
Xu Fu asked a question tentatively.
"And a large crossbow!"
Yu Dajiang dared not hide anything, and blurted it out as soon as Xu Fu asked.
"A large crossbow?"
Xu Fu frowned slightly. He found it strange that Yu Dajiang was talking about crossbows when he was asking about elixirs.
"Yes, that's all the things that guy gave us! That's all! If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"
Fearing that Xu Fu wouldn't believe him, Yu Dajiang made a solemn oath!
"Where's the crossbow?"
"It's right here!"
As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, a man carrying a large crossbow strode in from the doorway.
"This is Hou Liang, the third leader," Yu Dajiang introduced.
Xu Fu glanced at Hou Liang, then at the large crossbow in Hou Liang's hand, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Yu Dajiang had been watching Xu Fu's expression closely, and he immediately became nervous when he saw a change in Xu Fu's expression.
"Why is there blood on this arrow?" Xu Fu asked calmly, staring at Hou Liang's obsequious smile.
"Bloodstains?"
Yu Dajiang hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the crossbow bolt, and examined it closely. Sure enough, he found that the fletching still retained a few streaks of crimson.
"It belongs to Yu Hai!"
Seeing this, Hou Liang knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He didn't hesitate to tell Da Jiang everything, even if it meant being questioned, and immediately confessed everything. Of course, he omitted his desire to become the leader.
"That beast Yu Hai, how could I have trusted him so much!"
Upon hearing that Yu Hai was trying to harm him, Yu Dajiang's face turned red with anger, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"That's all thanks to the Third Master!" Xu Fu said with a smile as he took the large crossbow from Hou Liang.
The moment Hou Liang met Xu Fu's gaze, he lowered his head and bowed, saying, "This humble one dares not accept such praise! This humble one knows his own limitations and would never dare to be an enemy of the two immortal masters!"
Xu Fu said nothing more, but carefully examined the large crossbow in his hand, then nocked an arrow and pulled the trigger on the door frame of Tianlong Hall.
With a sharp crack, the crossbow bolt shot out at lightning speed, piercing right through the door frame.
"That powerful?"
Li Wuji also curiously came over, and upon seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Where did you get it from?" Xu Fu asked, frowning.
He was certain that this crossbow was not something an ordinary craftsman could make. Not to mention an ordinary person, even a mid-level cultivator might not be able to handle it.
"This one……"
Yu Dajiang and Hou Liang exchanged a glance, but remained silent for a long time.
"What? Do you two have something difficult to say?" Xu Fu asked coldly.
"No, no, but we don't know who that person is!" Yu Dajiang said, looking very conflicted.
He himself didn't believe it when he said that. If he didn't know the person, why would they give him elixirs and weapons?
"Give it to you for free?"
As expected, Xu Fu did not believe it either.
"That's practically free! But that person also said there would be even more benefits if we could help!" Hou Liang quickly added.
"Help? Help with what?"
Xu Fu frowned slightly; he seemed to have found the key.
"Let us gather in Donghai City, saying we're going to... attack... the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy."
"Nonsense!"
Xu Fu angrily rebuked him.
"You think you can mess with the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy?"
Hou Liang was so frightened by Xu Fu's words that he immediately knelt on the ground. Yu Dajiang was also pale-faced and tried to explain but could only stammer incoherently. He was so anxious that he kept pinching his thigh.
"It was...that person who said it! He said that the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy has incurred the wrath of Heaven, and all the immortal masters inside have become mortals!"
When Hou Liang spoke, he lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, for fear that he might say something wrong and anger this man again.
"anything else?"
Hearing Xu Fu's gentle tone, Hou Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told Xu Fu everything that had happened after the mysterious man arrived at Dragon Snake Village.
"...Before leaving, he also said that this was a once-in-a-century opportunity, and heroes from all over the world would want a piece of the pie. The Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy was full of rare treasures, and it was first come, first served!"
After speaking cautiously, Hou Liang felt his fear subside slightly, and then he carefully raised his head.
The boy was sitting in the chair with a frown on his face, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, seemingly lost in thought.
"Did that person explain his background?" Xu Fu suddenly asked.
“No! But that person came by boat! It startled everyone!” Yu Dajiang quickly answered.
"why?"
Xu Fu was puzzled; what was so scary about traveling by boat?
"Brother, you wouldn't believe it! His boat can fly!"
