54: Chapter 53: Obtaining the Blood Marrow Fruit (First Update)_1
More than ten large black wooden boxes appeared side by side before everyone’s eyes, causing the human rangers in the Great Hall to buzz with discussions and speculations about what could possibly be inside these boxes.
“Open them.”
“Right away!”
Fortunately, the Chief of the Wuya Clan did not keep everyone in suspense.
At his command, the burly men next to the boxes began opening the crates in front of them.
Creak!
Creak!
Creak!
After a rustling sound of wood, the true nature of what was inside more than ten crates was revealed.
What these boxes contained not only made everyone gasp in surprise, but their gaze towards Chief Wuya also turned into complete shock.
“Truly worthy of a tribe with a thousand-year heritage, such a grand gesture” Even Xiao Chen was amazed by the contents of these wooden crates and astounded by the Chief Wuya’s bold gesture.
In these ten-odd wooden boxes were neatly arranged war sabers, each glimmering with a dark glow and adorned with patterns that radiated a blinding light.
A rough estimate revealed that each of these large wooden boxes contained around fifty weapons.
Adding the boxes together, there were around 500 to 600 top-quality weapons.
It was indeed a grand gesture.
This was what amazed Xiao Chen.
If the Gu Yuan Clan hadn’t taken over the Black Mountain and Kumu tribes, they wouldn’t have been able to gather so many weapons.
Judging by the patterns, these weapons had reached the lower level of War Soldier weapons.
This abundance of lower-level War Soldier weapons got many rangers excited.
A good horse needs a good saddle, owning a good weapon could increase one’s combat power by one or two levels.
However, for warriors in the Blood Refining Realm, these lower-level weapons no longer aroused their interest.
Hence, others in the Great Hall, like Jiang Kui and Luo Tianyou, just briefly marveled at Wuya Xiong’s boldness before closing their eyes to meditate, no longer paying much attention to it.
What caught Xiao Chen’s eye were the two boxes that were about one-third the size of the larger ones among the ten-odd crates.
Only one of these two smaller crates was opened, revealing a mess of items inside.
Despite the disorder within the box, its value in Xiao Chen’s view far exceeded that of the larger boxes.
The crate was filled with various types of medicinal materials.
Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng, ink-black Fleeceflower Root, withered and cracked Green Vines Fruit…
These were piled in the box like garbage.
Xiao Chen, who had just become an alchemist, couldn’t help feeling regretful.
So many medicinal materials had their medicinal potency wasted merely because they were improperly stored.
“What is this?” Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s attention was drawn to a few shriveled, blood-red fruits at the bottom of the crate.
Among the numerous medicinal herbs, approximately seven or eight blood-red fruits were pressed beneath the disorderly pile, revealing only a hint of their presence.
Due to his position, Xiao Chen didn’t immediately go to identify the type of herb.
He quietly memorized it, planning to ask for these fruits later.
If they were indeed Blood Marrow Fruits, he’d rather kill mistakenly than let them get away.
“The Wuya Clan does have some family assets.
Consider these lower-grade war weapons as our gratitude to everyone, and please help yourselves to these medicinal materials.”
Hearing Wuya Xiong’s decision, the rangers below could finally breathe easy.
They had suspected what was on his mind when he presented the weapons, but nothing was certain before a decision had been made.
Then, Wuya Xiong descended from his seat of honor, and approached a wooden box.
He picked up one of the unopened boxes, looked around at everyone, and began to speak, “This battle, fortunately, had Chief Xiao Chen making a heroic stand against the Gray Wolf King, otherwise, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.”
“Furthermore, I noticed Chief Xiao’s battle armor has become somewhat damaged after the intense battle.
Here is a set of battle armor, a gift for Chief Xiao Chen.”
As he spoke, Wuya Xiong handed the box to Xiao Chen below.
With a mind to court Xiao Chen’s favor, he held him in high regard.
After all, someone so young possessing such strength, no one could predict how far he would go in the future.
If he couldn’t oppose him, why not establish good relations with him while he was young?
“Thank you, Chief Wuya.
I accept with gratitude.” Having heard Wuya Xiong’s words, Xiao Chen finally understood and quickly accepted the box containing battle armor, placing it beside him.
The armor he wore was already somewhat damaged after the intense battle, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities.
He had not brought any extra clothes in his Cave Heaven Space, and couldn’t travel wearing a piece of worn-out armor.
If it weren’t for Wuya Xiong’s timely gift of armor, Xiao Chen had already planned to find an ordinary set of armor in a hurry.
Others in the great hall showed no dissatisfaction at Xiao Chen taking the armor.
He deserved it both publicly and privately.
Seeing him accept the armor made Wuya Xiong reveal a slight smile.
After the matter of the gift to Xiao Chen, everyone in the hall began discussing rewards based on contribution, with the two tribes of the Kui Mountain and Qingque deservedly being the most rewarded.
Each tribe sent soldiers – eight hundred from one and five hundred from the other.
There was bound to be some loss in a huge battle.
Jiang Kui, the well-known troublemaker, once again showed his true colors, “Wuya, sentiment aside, you can’t give less where due.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to justify it to my people.
You must compensate me appropriately.
Not to mention the hundreds of warhorses that were sacrificed to expedite our journey, even the nearly hundred brave warriors who died in battle.
Their families must be doubly compensated.”
Although Jiang Kui, the chief, was somewhat rascally, his words were reasonable.
Wuya Xiong had no counter-argument, “Brother Jiang, and Chief Luo, you can rest assured, our Wuya tribe has a thousand-year lineage.
We would never be heartless and ungrateful.
We will not let the soldiers’ blood be shed in vain, nor their families shed tears.
We will provide a satisfying compensation.”
“Hmph, old man, as for the compensation, that isn’t necessary.
Our Qingque tribe isn’t short on resources.
But if you really want to thank me, give me the iron mine at the boundary between our tribes for ten years.”
In response to Wuya Xiong’s words, Luo Tianyou on the side didn’t hold back.
After all, the two tribes had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, constantly trying to outdo one another.
This iron mine was situated at the border between the two tribes, and it even produced a small amount of low-grade Starlight Iron.
This was the reason why the Wuya tribe was able to produce so many low-grade weapons.
This mine was jointly discovered by the ancestors of the two tribes, and it was agreed that each would mine it in turn for twenty years.
“Five years!” Although Wuya Xiong knew that Luo Tianyou would demand a great deal, he did not expect him to be eyeing the iron mine.
After giving it some thought, he finally made a decision, reducing the time by half as it was his tribe that was in need.
“Agreed!” Luo Tianyou accepted the offer.
He knew this was Wuya Xiong’s final offer and did not haggle any further so as not to risk overplaying his hand.
After the discussions ended, everyone in the great hall had obtained the revenge they desired and disbanded, as there were still some beast corpses outside that needed to be handled.
Xiao Chen, who left the great hall, had one person help him carry the wooden boxes of armor and also carried seven or eight blood-red fruits.
These fruits were the Blood Marrow Fruit they had been searching for, and he had managed to demand them from the other people that had gathered them.
As for this kind of fruit, everyone did not know what it was and just conveniently let Xiao Chen have them.
Under Xiao Chen’s careful scrutiny, he finally confirmed that these were indeed the Blood Marrow Fruits that he and Hu Guyue had been looking for without success.
This naturally made him feel as if making an unexpected find without even trying.
Dear friends, please support Chief Xiao Chen with your recommendation tickets, he thanks you sincerely!!
