The appearance of the giant eagle mutant beast ant the black-clad n were dood to lose. The two didn’t have ti to search for other secret places; this could be said to be the last spot. Next, they had no choice but to run away quickly.
i Weixuan pointed sadly at the various weapons and ores in front of him and said, "Hurry and pick two handy ones; we need to get out of here."
i Weixuan stood aside with his hands behind his back, too lazy to glance at the "junk".
At this mont, Zhong Lin couldn’t care less about i Weixuan’s mood. He rubbed his hands together and began exploring like a mouse entering a granary, touching and looking around.
The warehouse was mostly filled with swords, followed by knives, while other mysterious weapons took up a portion.
Every weapon bore the unique black eagle insignia of Heavenly Eagle Castle, so even if they took them, they would need to be reforged, at least to remove the insignia.
After so searching, Zhong Lin pulled out a long sword from an empty rack.
With a strong tug, the sword was drawn from its sheath, and the sound of sword cry echoed like a dragon’s roar.
The sword hilt was made from an ancient bronze casting, decorated with eagle patterns. The blade had a faint bluish tint that shimred coldly under the light.
The mont Zhong Lin grabbed it, he inexplicably liked it. He twirled it lightly, with the sharp sword radiance illuminating the entire warehouse. A nearby wooden shelf collapsed with a crash, having been cut through by the blade’s sweep.
"What a sharp sword."
Zhong Lin’s face was full of joyous surprise.
The previous Ghost Head Blade was severely outdated compared to Zhong Lin’s progress—it was both too light and incapable of piercing during Qi-blood circulation.
The treasure sword in his hand, when Qi-blood circulated, caused a faint bluish light to erge from within, condensing a three-inch sword radiance on the blade.
"This sword is mixed with Blood Pattern Steel, so it’s able to have Qi-blood infused, condensing sword radiance. It indeed is a fine treasure sword," i Weixuan explained from the side.
Although Zhong Lin didn’t know what Blood Pattern Steel was, anything praised by i Weixuan, a noble young master, must be exceptional.
This guy has high standards!
Satisfied, Zhong Lin attached the treasure sword to his waist. As he was leaving, he was suddenly attracted by a black bow in the corner.
He stepped forward quickly and pulled it up.
"So heavy."
He didn’t know what material this bow was made from. It was entirely black, appearing wooden but weighing far more than steel, making it feel heavy in Zhong Lin’s hands.
The bowstring was made from an unknown beast tendon, glowing a golden yellow.
Zhong Lin held the bow in his left hand, stringing it with his right.
"Hmm?"
Zhong Lin was surprised to find that using thirty percent of his strength didn’t draw it open, so he instinctively increased his force, finally managing to draw it only a third of the way with full effort.
Furrowing his brow, Zhong Lin looked serious.
He took a deep breath, curled his little finger, spread his knees outward, drew his hips inward, and opened his chest.
His entire body tensed at this mont.
Drawing the bow.
As he pulled, Zhong Lin felt as if all his tendons were drawn, making him as tense as the bowstring.
Then releasing it.
Zhong Lin couldn’t help but wince; at the mont of release, his entire body’s muscles and tendons seed torn fiercely, causing aching in his waist, legs, arms, and back.
A sensation like a spent force.
However, as Qi-blood surged within him, soon all the aching muscles eased, even giving a sense of growing strength and expansion to his muscles and bones.
Zhong Lin was finally shocked. Having attained the Sixth Grade Qi-blood Realm, his power had surged trendously. Although he hadn’t tested it, he was sure he had at least three thousand pounds of force—but such power only managed to draw the bow.
"A treasure bow indeed!"
Filled with delight, Zhong Lin knew his Full Level Bow Technique finally had a chance to shine again.
"Brother i, what is this bow?"
i Weixuan glanced at it and said, "This is a Black Rosewood Bow, forged from a type of wood known as Black Rosewood. This wood is as hard as refined iron but extrely tough, often used for strength training purposes."
Zhong Lin nodded inwardly; even just once, drawing this bow for strength training had twisted his muscles into a tight, corded state, as if his body was hamred and forged like iron in a furnace.
For prolonged training, it would have miraculous effects on Body Refining of the Lower Third Grades.
And it would also significantly aid martial arts involving fists and kicks.
One must know a person’s arms are a bow, the back is a bow, the waist is a bow, and the legs are a bow.
The body has bows everywhere.
Training by drawing the bow intensifies the muscles, making them more refined and powerful.
Without hesitation, Zhong Lin slung the Black Rosewood Bow over his back, then found a bag of arrows forged from fine steel in the warehouse.
"Let’s go!"
The two quickly exited the warehouse. The distant plaza was still in the midst of battle, with the giant eagle evidently injured, its cries tinged with a hint of distress.
"Hiss! What on earth are these people? They could actually wound that mutant beast."
i Weixuan took in a deep breath, his face full of disbelief.
Seeing Zhong Li’s puzzled expression, i Weixuan quickly explained, "Bird mutant beasts are best at soaring and maneuvering, inherently unbeatable with those wings. Plus, their sheer size allows even a First Grade Martial Artist to dare engage them."
Zhong Lin clacked his teeth, suddenly feeling that Heavenly Eagle Castle was quite dangerous.
"Let’s hurry and leave."
"Okay."
Though i Weixuan was sowhat disappointed at gaining nothing beneficial, he knew staying any longer was extrely dangerous.
The two didn’t linger, quickly scaling walls and climbing over to leave Heavenly Eagle Castle.
In the dark night, they dared not pause, especially with Heavenly Eagle Castle’s hawk patrols overhead.
Feeling the weight on him, Zhong Lin’s face was full of smiles.
A treasure sword, a treasure bow, three Blood Coagulation Stance Technique books, and over a dozen Qi and Blood Martial Arts manuals.
These treasures were enough to establish a century-old family if taken to Black Mountain County.
A truly substantial gain.
Seeing Zhong Lin’s face almost blooming like a chrysanthemum, i Weixuan sourly said, "When we get to Tianyang County, you owe a drink."
"Alright."
"A drink from the Xiao Xiang Pavilion."
"Alright."
Just a drink?
Consider it done.
Tonight’s bounty would easily cover a month’s worth of your drinks.
"I also want..."
"Hey, are you done yet?!"
While chatting, they suddenly stopped, exchanging glances, and quickly hid behind a large rock at lightning speed.
A few breaths later, two figures rushed past them, crossing the rock and soon disappearing into the night.
"They’re two of those three black-clad n."
Zhong Lin recognized the two as being among the three from Heavenly Eagle Castle.
"Only two left; didn’t expect them to escape."
With a quick flicker in his eyes, i Weixuan turned to Zhong Lin excitedly, "Zhong Lin, want to make a big move?"
