"Now that I have spiritual weapons, I must equip my shadows with them too!"
With the intermediate spiritual weapon, Su Xiaobai's strength surged. If the shadows were also armed, their efficiency in monster hunting would certainly increase dramatically!
After all, with Su Xiaobai's strength now comparable to a regular Martial General and even capable of crushing and instantly killing one, the shadows' targets in the wild had shifted to S-grade lord beasts located hundreds of kilometers away from the base!
These S-grade lord beasts are no easy opponents, each employing various deadly tactics… If the shadows had a spiritual weapon, their efficiency in slaughtering them would improve, and naturally, Su Xiaobai's profits would skyrocket.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully forged the 'Liyun Sword'!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully forged the 'Futeng Halberd'!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully forged the 'Yunbo Knife'!"
Three beginner spiritual weapons were quickly produced.
The one intermediate spiritual weapon had already exhausted all of Lin Futian's good materials… The remaining scraps of materials were only enough for three beginner spiritual weapons.
"Looks like I'll need to buy not only alchemy materials but also more metal ores!"
"After forging, not only can I use them, but any surplus can be sold for money… This is going to be sweet!"
With the new ability unlocked, it immediately opened up a continuous, massive profit channel!
The shadows automatically hunt and gather beast materials.
They collect alchemy materials and refine double the perfect quality pills.
The treasure-hunting goblins are always looking for rare and precious materials.
Now, adding the profits from forging spiritual weapons… just thinking about it made Su Xiaobai feel thrilled!
"All right, it's time to head back. Tomorrow, I'll buy a large manor in the core area and live however I want!"
Su Xiaobai was in a great mood.
Before, he didn't dare live in the core area for fear of being discovered by the big families.
But now, even if he were discovered, so what?
The entire Base 18 no longer had a single opponent who could rival him… here, he was the biggest BOSS, so he could live however he wanted!
Suddenly, Su Xiaobai turned his head and looked towards the distance down the street.
After extending his spatial perception range, his sensitivity was significantly sharper than before… he distinctly sensed two auras rapidly approaching!
One was relatively weak, only at the beginner Martial General level.
The other was quite powerful, almost on par with Lin Futian.
The street was nearly deserted.
Due to the disaster warning, all the shops had closed, people had returned home, and factories had quickly stopped… the entire Base 18 had turned into a ghost town.
Meanwhile, the warriors were all cheerfully collecting spoils at the eastern wall… It was at this moment that an aura so powerful that even Su Xiaobai could feel it emerged… something was off!
Just as Su Xiaobai was about to dodge, the figure had already rapidly closed the distance and noticed his presence.
Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
A woman dressed in white, tall, with a veil… it was unmistakably the veiled woman he had traded the Seventh-Grade Qianyuan Soul Returning Pills with!
Su Xiaobai noticed a wound on the veiled woman's arm, blood staining her clothing.
As soon as she saw Su Xiaobai in the center of the street, her bright eyes lit up, and she quickly ran towards him.
Knowing she had already been discovered, Su Xiaobai didn't bother to dodge.
The veiled woman landed in front of Su Xiaobai, quickly ducking behind him and letting out a melodious, urgent whisper.
A fragrance wafted through the air, and her body pressed closely against his, but Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow… This seemed like trouble brewing!
"Miss, stop hiding. This is the old master's wish. You must take the young master and return with me."
Following the veiled woman, a man with a cold face, muscular build, and dressed in a beast-skin outfit landed in front of Su Xiaobai.
From these keywords, and remembering his earlier guess about the veiled woman being from the 'Dongfang Family' of Base 15, Su Xiaobai seemed to have figured it out.
Clearly, this veiled woman was an important relative of the Dongfang Family, and she was carrying a young master.
Now, the head of the Dongfang Family had sent someone to bring her back.
"Commander Tang, please go back. I will not return with you."
"The Dongfang Family no longer has a place for me and Yong'an… If I bring Yong'an back with me, you should know what will happen to us!"
The veiled woman said coldly.
Commander Tang responded indifferently, "But it is my duty. I must complete the task assigned by the old master."
Commander Tang turned to Su Xiaobai and cupped his hands. "This is a matter of the Dongfang Family. Please, sir, show some mercy."
Though Su Xiaobai's outward cultivation was only at the beginner Martial General level, the martial aura emanating from him was extremely formidable!
After all, Su Xiaobai had mastered several entry-level, micro-level, and even lesser transcendent techniques… the depth of his martial aura was unimaginable.
Su Xiaobai almost immediately agreed without hesitation.
Hero saving the beauty?
He and the veiled woman had only met twice in the Beast Treasure Pavilion, had one trade—nothing more.
They weren't strangers, but they weren't exactly familiar either.
In this situation, why would he step in to help?
He still had plenty of his own good times to enjoy—he had no time to meddle in other people's affairs.
Did they think he was one of those hot-blooded youths who rushed to rescue women in distress?
At that moment, Su Xiaobai was ready to turn and leave.
"If you help me today, I promise to give you 10 Lesser Transcendent techniques!"
The veiled woman said directly.
Through her observations earlier by the eastern wall, and hearing how Xiao Longyu and the three Martial Commanders addressed Su Xiaobai as Mr. Su, she quickly realized that this Mr. Su was the one she had traded the Seventh-Grade pill with!
A man capable of effortlessly killing an ordinary Martial Commander. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
With so many extraordinarily powerful elite figures under his command… even two S-grade savage beasts in a berserk state had been effortlessly handled!
Such a person was exactly the ally she needed!
"10 Lesser Transcendent techniques!"
Su Xiaobai stopped in his tracks.
His heart began to race.
Ten whole Lesser Transcendent techniques!
How can I not be tempted?
"Sorry, though I do like Lesser Transcendent techniques, I generally don't get involved in other people's business."
Su Xiaobai politely declined.
He admitted that ten Lesser Transcendent techniques were indeed tempting… but to get involved in this strange matter and affect his quality of life? Su Xiaobai still felt it wasn't worth it.
Moreover, he already had seven or eight Lesser Transcendent techniques that hadn't even reached their peak.
Another ten would help, but not by much.
Commander Tang nodded.
The veiled woman bit her lip and secretly made up her mind.
"Mr. Su, if you help me today, I will give you a copy of a Great Transcendent technique, how about it?"
Great Transcendent Technique?!
Su Xiaobai's eyes immediately widened in shock.
