Ch 617: Qiu Zang Is Broken
Li Hanzhou wrote a reply and then tucked the letter into an extremely inconspicuous place, making a very special mark.
Only he and Su Nianyi knew the mark.
When they exchanged secret letters in the Tianxuan Realm, it was by this mark that they could immediately recognize each other’s letters.
Now Su Nianyi and he are safe.
But the disappearance of his Senior Brother worried Li Hanzhou.
With his somewhat weak Realm, coupled with his exquisite appearance and graceful posture, it was difficult not to attract the attention of others.
The worst-case scenario was being brutally murdered.
Even the best-case scenario would probably be being forced into a brothel to serve customers.
The Boundless Continent is vast and boundless.
To put it bluntly, even if a person walks in a straight line from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, it would probably take a thousand years to reach the end.
To successfully find his Senior Brother would undoubtedly be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, Li Hanzhou had no intention of giving up. Since his Senior Brother had disappeared into thin air above Xujie Prefecture, even if it was far-fetched, he should at least be within Xujie Prefecture.
Perhaps if he started his search from Xujie Prefecture, his chances would be greater.
But he and the Ji Mansion, the Overlord of Xujie Prefecture, had an irreconcilable grudge. If he went there rashly and was discovered, it would be disastrous.
Therefore, before that, he needed to make more preparations.
Li Hanzhou searched the table in front of him, finally finding a hidden compartment from which he retrieved a Storage Bag.
This Storage Bag belonged to Ye Qingya.
After taking his Storage Bag, before he had a chance to check it, Ye Qingya had fallen into a coma.
Now was a good time to see if there was anything inside that could help him.
As Li Hanzhou opened Ye Qingya’s Storage Bag and saw the contents inside, he paused slightly.
“Ye Qingya was quite well-prepared.”
The contents of the Storage Bag were complete. Apart from the Emperor Soul Pill, there were defensive and offensive Spirit Treasures, as well as various Pills—everything was there.
It seemed that Ye Qingya had prepared them for his Ascension.
Besides this, Li Hanzhou also found the currency of the Boundless Continent in the Storage Bag—nearly six million Spirit Stones. Such a large quantity must have been mined by Ye Qingya in some world.
“Eh, what’s this?”
At that moment, Li Hanzhou suddenly found a strange Thing in the Storage Bag. It looked like a person?
But it was motionless. Could it be a corpse?
“No!”
When Li Hanzhou took out the Thing, he realized it wasn’t a person at all, but a Mecha almost identical to a Human Race being.
It was very heavy, made of an unknown metal, with a silvery-white exterior.
As Li Hanzhou took the Mecha out of the Storage Bag and placed it on the ground,
a red light suddenly flashed from the Mecha’s eye sockets, its body trembled slightly, and then it fell silent.
“This is… a Robot?”
Li Hanzhou’s gaze became more curious. The moment the Robot moved, he felt a faint sense of danger.
This meant that the Robot, clad in Mecha armor, must be extremely powerful.
After all, it was a technological product of Cybernas, so its performance must be very comprehensive.
Moreover, Ye Qingya didn’t bring any technology except this one Robot, which spoke volumes.
Li Hanzhou was very interested in this technological product, so he fiddled with it for a while.
But after studying it for a long time, the Robot remained motionless, as if it had crashed.
After careful examination, Li Hanzhou vaguely understood what was going on.
There was an inconspicuous metal Button on the Robot’s chest, integrated with the Mecha armor on its surface. Pressing the Button would reveal a Groove.
The shape of the Groove was exactly the same as the exterior of a Spirit Stone.
It seemed that it needed to be activated with a Spirit Stone.
But even after Li Hanzhou inserted a Spirit Stone, the Robot remained unresponsive.
“Strange…”
Li Hanzhou looked at the Spirit Stone inserted inside, took it out, and replaced it with another.
Yet the Robot still didn’t react.
After several more experiments, the Robot was like a dead object, without the slightest movement. Li Hanzhou gave up.
“It should be activated by Spirit Stones. Maybe the concentration of the Spirit Stones I have is too low. Perhaps using a Top-grade Spirit Stone would work?”
Li Hanzhou looked at the Robot without dwelling on the issue.
With a thought, the Autumn Burial Saber floated in front of him.
He decided to test the Robot’s hardness.
The activation conditions were so harsh, but if it couldn’t withstand even one of his strikes, there was no need to study it. At most, it could be a large collectible, left to gather dust in the Storage Bag.
A surging Sword Intent emanated from the Autumn Burial Saber. Under Li Hanzhou’s control, the Saber’s Might was equivalent to the power of the Divine Transformation Stage.
Boom!
The Autumn Burial Saber fiercely struck the Mecha’s outer shell, sparking a series of sparks.
But the next moment, with a “crack,” the Autumn Burial Saber broke in two.
The Robot, however, was unharmed, without even a scratch.
“Broken!”
Li Hanzhou stared at the broken Autumn Burial Saber, stunned.
He didn’t expect the Robot to be so hard that it could easily block a strike comparable to a Divine Transformation Stage attack.
On the streets of Qingteng City,
a youth in a blue robe, with a slightly youthful face, walked along the bustling streets.
He glanced around, then looked excitedly at the ten Low-grade Spirit Stones in his hand, murmuring, “It’s not easy. I’ve finally saved enough Spirit Stones.”
His name was Chu Ran, an Outer Disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, with a Cultivation Level of the Transcendent Realm.
As the most ordinary Outer Disciple in the Sect, his monthly stipend was only one Low-grade Spirit Stone.
After a year of extreme frugality in food, drink, and daily expenses, he finally saved ten Low-grade Spirit Stones, enough to buy a Ninth-Rank Divine Weapon.
Although a Ninth-Rank Divine Weapon couldn’t compare to a Spirit Artifact, it was the only thing he could currently afford.
Unlike the other disciples in the Sect, his parents were ordinary people in their Family, with low status. They often faced ridicule from others in the Family, and Chu Ran himself was often bullied and harassed by his Fellow Disciples in the Sect due to his poverty.
But with a Ninth-Rank Divine Weapon, his Strength would increase significantly, giving him a chance to achieve a better ranking in next month’s Outer Disciple Assessment, where the Rewards would be very generous.
In this way, he might no longer be bullied in the Sect and could also bring honor to his parents, raising their status in the Family so they wouldn’t be talked about.
“Ninth-Rank Divine Weapon, here I come!”
As Chu Ran was excitedly heading towards his destination, a Figure appeared ahead and looked at him.
Chu Ran frowned, cautiously stepping back and quickly tucking the Spirit Stones into his bosom. “What do you want?”
He was startled. In broad daylight, this person wouldn’t be trying to rob him, would they?
“I mean no harm.”
Seeing Chu Ran’s actions, Li Hanzhou immediately understood what he was thinking, so he explained, then asked, “I just want to ask if there are any Merchant Guilds selling Weapons nearby.”
The Autumn Burial Saber was broken; he didn’t have a single Weapon left.
Swordplay, if performed without a Weapon, is far less powerful.
“Weapons…”
Seeing Li Hanzhou’s kind face, Chu Ran sensed the elusive and indistinct Aura emanating from him, and immediately realized that the person in front of him was an Expert far stronger than himself.
Facing such an Expert, being robbed would be fortunate.
Moreover, such an Expert wouldn’t care about his meager Low-grade Spirit Stones.
So Chu Ran immediately showed a respectful expression, clasped his hands, and said, “Senior, is this your first time in Qingteng City? Let me guide you.”
