Chapter 732 - That Item
"Hmph, as if those monks can move around unrestricted." Little Hong snorted and said. He was very familiar with the other vault guardians as well, "Before they could find me, I have already hidden myself somewhere that they can't find."
Jin Rou laughed after hearing this. He then said, "Then you can try snatching the treasures now."
"Hah, I can only do it if you die." Little Hong harrumphed. Although he was speaking vicious words, he actually didn't mean any of them. Han Li took care of him and his family during his most difficult situation in the past. That favor wasn't something he could repay even he guarded this place for a very long time.
"How is your clan?" Jin Rou asked. Aside from guarding the vault, Little Hong was also a top ancestor of their clan.
"They're still bastards, as usual. They can't produce a decent offspring despite I already blessed them with a powerful bloodline." Little Hong was speaking with annoyance. This was a huge problem for his clan if they couldn't produce decent offsprings. After all, Nine Heavens was all about power. The weak are the prey and the strong are the predators. It's up to them what role they would fulfill for their lives.
"You mean the Blood Spear Bloodline?" Jin Rou asked. According to Han Li's memories, there were two bloodlines that he gave to Little Hong in the past in case he wanted to revive his clan. The two had average effects in the short time but had great effects in long time.
And Blood Spear Bloodline was one of them. Those who had this bloodline would naturally experience rapid growth in both potential and talent in spear wielding. Little Hong's clan was specialized in using the spear thus this bloodline was very compatible with them.
"Yes, I gifted some of my descendants the Blood Spear Bloodline and want them to produce a capable offspring. However, not only they couldn't exert the greater extent of the bloodline themselves, they couldn't even give me a decent offspring to nurture." Little Hong said in an angered tone. He wanted to smack his descendants until they couldn't get up for months.
But it was understandable. The bloodline was too precious but the true potential of it couldn't be fully unleashed. Han Li had spent great efforts to get this bloodline for Little Hong thus the latter felt this way.
"Perhaps it's not the time yet." Jin Rou said, "You cannot push something like this. Let the time decide it."
"How can I, when those two monks' temples are getting better by the day?" Little Hong gritted his teeth. He always see the monks as his great rival that he needed to stomp on.
"Alright, calm down." Jin Rou said with a soothing voice, "Little Hong is still better. Managing this vault while I'm gone for millions of years without a treasure missing. You are way better."
"That's true. Compared to those monks that have lost a treasure because of their incompetence." Little Hong nodded with a proud face. His nostrils were smoking as he felt the compliment very well.
Seeing Little Hong calming down, Jin Rou smiled and said, "I'm here to get an offensive physique for that woman outside. She is the only disciple of Icefairy so I decided to aid her."
"Oh? I thought that woman has no capabilities to teach." Little Hong said. He was familiar with Icefairy Dao Monarch, "Alright, but what offensive physique do you want? You know, you have too many of that here. Even those in the Physique Heavenly Scripture, you also have half of it."
The Physique Heavenly Scripture was a heaven's treasure itself. It had contained ten scriptures of the mythical level. And Han Li had five of them.
Many were dying to get their hands on the scripture, even a part of it was already to sufficient for them. However, the owners of the other five were also secretive and didn't have plans on telling the world they have it unless they want to invite a disaster for themselves.
"What do you suggest? You're very good in terms of physiques." Jin Rou said.
"Well, if she aims to be monarch or a lord, the Immortal Hand Physique will be good for her. If she has no plans on getting at the top, she can have the Flowing Water Physique. Both are compatible to her for at least 98% so there's no rejection or whatsoever." Little Hong said. He studied many physiques in the past. Even those which Han Li possessed, he had studied them all.
"Immortal Hand Physique." Jin Rou pondered for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, that physique will be very suitable for him. Alright, let's get it."
"That physique, although it's compatible with her, it will be still painful to use it." Little Hong advised.
"I know, but knowing the tenacity of that woman which she got from her master, this physique is easy as a pie for her." Jin Rou laughed. It wasn't blind confidence or anything like that. He fully trusted that Teacher Fairy could master it in the future.
"Okay, if that's what you want." Little Hong sighed and took a scroll from the sky. Then it landed on his hand and gave it to Jin Rou. It contained the Immortal Hand Physique and how to use it.
"Also, I will get that item too." Jin Rou said. He knew that Little Hong had an idea what he was talking about.
And indeed, Little Hong's expression changed dramatically as he said, "You want to use that item...?!"
"I have no choice. I have to go full all out in this generation. I almost died during the last challenge and many monarchs lost their lives because of me." Jin Rou sighed. It was a bitter battle and a hopeless one at that. Many sacrificed their lives for Han Li and didn't regret coming with him.
Little Hong was complicated. He knew that item very well because he studied it for countless of years, "If you use that item, there's a high chance that Nine Heavens, which you loved and protected so much, will be affected severely."
"I know. Don't worry, I won't use it unless it's my final resort.." Jin Rou said with assurabce assurance.
