Chapter 395: Qi Sea Weather ’60 Demon Purge’, Martial Dao Treasure Body ’True Martial Primordial Embryo’, Jiang Li’s Identity

And so, having figured out the whole story, Ji Xiu…

…immediately turned around.

He headed for the Beicang Marquis’s Mansion!

…

Beicang Marquis’s Mansion.

Guided by the attendant who came to announce his arrival, Ji Xiu did not see Jiang Li, but he did see what she had left for him.

A mask and a letter.

There was also a suit of Treasure Armor hanging on a rack, a Jade Box, and a large sandalwood chest.

He first opened the sandalwood chest. In an instant, a brilliant golden light assaulted Ji Xiu’s eyes!

Inside, it was packed to the brim with Red Gold, a full three hundred taels of it.

‘Three hundred taels…’

‘That’s enough to buy a large residence in Jiangyin Prefecture and open several shops!’

‘And yet it’s the least valuable item here.’

As Ji Xiu marveled silently, he turned to the Profound Iron Armor beside him. It radiated a cold, sharp intent, overflowing with a murderous aura. His heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but lift a finger and press it lightly against one of the plates.

He found that his strike hadn’t left even a scratch on it.

‘If I don’t activate a Secret Martial technique and draw my Long Day blade, I probably couldn’t even damage this armor.’

‘What’s more, this Spirit Armor even has a faint Spiritual Light leaking from it. It’s said that Treasure Tools like this, forged from the strange materials of the Outer Dao and Meteorite Iron, possess a weak spirituality and can self-heal!’

‘It’s even more precious than a Spiritual Weapon of the same tier used by a Grandmaster!’

Three hundred taels of Red Gold, a suit of Grandmaster-grade Spirit Armor… Ji Xiu shifted his gaze to the Jade Box at the side.

‘Then this must be…’

As he thought this, he opened it. A thick medicinal fragrance, carried on a wave of biting cold air, rushed out to greet him!

Inside, a branch of a cold plum tree, glistening with frost, lay quietly.

Just by sensing the Spiritual Essence within, he knew it was, without a doubt, a genuine Earth Treasure!

To be fair…

Jiang Li had really given him a lot of good things!

All of it was top-notch stuff!

He opened the letter Jiang Li had left.

Immediately, a line of text, written with a Divine Soul Secret Skill that only Ji Xiu could see, began to glow faintly and appear, bit by bit:

[This is a Sixth Grade Grandmaster Spirit Armor named ‘Furnace.’ The craftsmanship during its forging was decent.]

[As a Martial Artist, once you become a Qi Cultivation Grandmaster, your combat power when fully armored and equipped is completely different from that of an ordinary Grandmaster. You can reach a whole new level.]

[So, whether it’s for future life-or-death battles or for entering a Realm Gate to fight those of the Outer Dao, you will be able to use this Grandmaster Spirit Armor.]

[As for that Earth Treasure, the ‘Cold Plum Dragon Branch,’ it seems to have been tainted by some Dragon Blood, which caused it to mutate and ascend into a Spirit Treasure. That, plus the three hundred taels of Red Gold… they were all sent by the people who put a bounty on you in the Black Market.]

[I used my authority in the Black Market to confiscate the deposits they left and return them to you.]

[The armor came from the Purple Mist Daoist School. The Earth Treasure and the Red Gold came from the Medicine Shop and the Fishing Trade, respectively. Remember to be more careful in the future. Don’t let yourself be plotted against without even knowing it.]

The Purple Mist Daoist School, the Fishing Trade, the Medicine Shop.

Reading the letter line by line, Ji Xiu’s eyes suddenly turned cold when he reached this part!

‘The ones who put a bounty on me before… of course it would be these Daoist Schools and Grand Lineages!’

‘And that old bastard Chen Jing wanted to bury the hatchet with me?’

‘I didn’t care before, but now that I know about this feud, once I’ve risen, the foundation of your Grand Lineage will have to change owners!’

But then again, Jiang Li had given him so much help. Where was she?

Ji Xiu continued reading:

[Your big sister really didn’t misjudge you. A kid I casually guided turned out to be the pride of the mansion. In such a short time, you first used the Marquis’s Mansion to turn your fortunes, then earned the favor of a Martial Saint, became a Martial Champion… you have a limitless future, and you’re so young.]

[Not bad, not bad at all. You’ve got a bit of my style from back in the day.]

[At your age, you might even have a shot at the ‘Juvenile Dragon Stele’ in the future. Perhaps after this parting, we’ll have a chance to meet again?]

A chance to meet again?

Ji Xiu furrowed his brow.

[I did string you along a bit before, kid, but your big sister didn’t expect you to be so promising.]

[But being involved with me, for you, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.]

[Put on that ‘Black Market Mask’ and follow the direction indicated by the Spiritual Essence within. Come to the ‘Jiangyin Black Market.’]

[Before I leave, since we’ve gotten to know each other, your big sister will leave you with some connections. That way, you won’t be completely clueless about the world and the sights outside this mansion!]

[Finally…]

[I’ll let you see my true face!]
