Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 333 - 288 Unexpected Gain of Demon Spirit Jade

Unfortunately, within the entire territory he belonged to, the best equipment he could get was at the current level.

In the area, there were indeed some of his kin, but not many, and they hadn’t reached the level where they could sweep through the entire territory.

At the moment, Wu Hen also needed Ruan Muhuan to bring him to a broader realm so that he could meet up with other kin and obtain more spiritual resources from them to cultivate Ruan Muhuan.

While planning the Valkyrie development route, the sounds of fighting had already come from the depths of the alley.

Ruan Muhuan wielded the Cold Sword, which was refined and resilient—not because her swordsmanship was particularly outstanding, but because swords were easier to buy compared to other weapons, and they had significant price discrepancies, allowing for the chance to find some good quality weapons.

She also had a Silver Fan, which was severely damaged and would occasionally use it as a close-range weapon.

Her opponent, Che Tianlie, was a robust martial artist who used a heavy copper broadsword.

Che Tianlie did not know many martial arts techniques; he had a few basic swings. Continue your journey with novelbuddy

This brute had enormous strength and had learned some Evil Techniques; his blade was imbued with Evil Power. After a round of fighting, Ruan Muhuan’s sword had already been chopped to have several notches, forcing her to step into a narrower part of the alley, limiting the opponent’s swings with the restrictions of the walls on both sides!

"Little girl, did you come to entertain your grandpa?"

"You think you can take my head and claim a reward with just that ability?"

"Better kneel and beg for mercy now, I’ll leave your tender body intact!"

Che Tianlie executed a powerful slash, slanting the rain curtain in the alley and creating a deep crack on the thick stone wall.

Ruan Muhuan retreated to the end of the alley, but then she suddenly kicked off the stone wall and leaped up.

Che Tianlie immediately swung his blade towards the air, but Ruan Muhuan daringly stepped on his forehead, her body light as a rain swallow.

"Clang!"

Che Tianlie, not focusing on Ruan Muhuan, chopped at her sword instead, sending it flying from her hands.

Now unarmed, Che Tianlie naturally was not afraid of Ruan Muhuan being behind him, her delicate arms and legs wouldn’t hurt his solid body...

But when Che Tianlie turned around to strike again, he suddenly felt a burning sensation behind his neck.

Turning his head, Che Tianlie then realized that the woman still had a Silver Fan in her hand!

The edge of that Silver Fan was sharp, not merely decorative, but a close-range Blood Blade!

Ruan Muhuan flipped and landed, then quickly distanced herself from Che Tianlie.

Che Tianlie, furiously swinging his blade due to the void space behind his neck, nearly demolished both walls of the courtyard.

Ruan Muhuan constantly retreated, maintaining a safe position from the rampaging brute.

Blood constantly flowed from behind his neck; as Che Tianlie’s movements grew more frenzied, the wound expanded.

Blood flowed incessantly, staining the narrow alley red, Che Tianlie’s actions became even more unrefined, gradually turning into a slow martial artist swinging his blade in desperation.

Realizing that it was hard to reach his opponent, the rationality returned to Che Tianlie, and he began to flee.

He carried his copper blade, leaped over the wall of the alley, and then escaped into the more complex streets beyond.

Ruan Muhuan immediately gave chase but did not engage him, silently waiting for his blood loss to continue.

In terms of terrain, Che Tianlie was naturally more familiar with hiding in this area; he forcibly covered his wound to prevent blood trails, concealing himself using the houses and alleys.

But from a higher spot, Wu Hen distinctly saw which small alley he entered and which wall corner he hid behind.

"By the river."

Wu Hen pointed towards the location near the city river.

Ruan Muhuan, seeing the indication, immediately chased towards the river area.

Upon reaching the river, she saw Che Tianlie submerging his body in the water weeds, attempting to ambush Ruan Muhuan there.

Ruan Muhuan stood on the riverbank, once again transforming into a calm hunter.

It wasn’t long before the area among the water weeds turned into a pool of blood red, Che Tianlie exerting his last bit of strength to strike at Ruan Muhuan on the shore.

Ruan Muhuan thrust the Silver Fan directly into Che Tianlie’s heart, the folded Silver Fan serving like a short blade, easily penetrating!

The fierce giant, Che Tianlie, ultimately fell, his eyes filled with reluctance, knowing that someone like him would eventually die by the hands of a Righteous Path martial artist, yet he never imagined that he would die at the hands of such a frail woman, bleeding out like a blood-drained old dog...

After packing up Che Tianlie’s head, Ruan Muhuan planned to return to Prefecture City to report back.

However, Wu Hen stopped her.

"Aren’t we in a hurry?" Ruan Muhuan asked, puzzled.

"He was heading to his secret hideout, let’s check around, we might find some unexpected gains," Wu Hen said.

Ruan Muhuan followed Wu Hen, searching through some houses by the river; he avoided those inhabited and only entered those that were locked and didn’t have much of a spiderweb issue, indicating that they were recently used.

In a room devoid of any furniture, Wu Hen found a woodshed.

As they moved all the firewood, indeed, there was a cellar beneath.

The cellar was pressed down by heavy millstones, which Wu Hen and Ruan Muhuan worked together to shift aside.

Entering the cellar, there was actually quite a stash!

Boxes of gold and silver, several jade artifacts, and most importantly, the fellow actually cherished a piece of Demon Spirit Jade!

"This is really good stuff!" Wu Hen exclaimed joyfully.

"Indeed, for such a villain to possess such a treasure," Ruan Muhuan’s face also bore a smile.

Fortunately, Wu Hen was astute and had specifically searched around this area, otherwise, they would have missed out on such good things.

Demon Spirit Jade was currency worth its weight in gold across the True Martial Continent, as valuable as diamonds were in the last century, with its own unique weight unit.

Moreover, this item was urgently needed by the Nuwa God End; people at home could take the Demon Spirit Jade to exchange for Contribution Value, which upon reaching a certain amount, could directly earn Nuwa’s blessings.

Nuwa’s blessing was capable of awakening an additional Perception, a high-quality reward for people of any realm.

Additionally, in the True Martial World, Demon Spirit Jade was also a panacea for True Qi, enabling Martial Artists to enhance the reserves of True Qi in their bodies.

Although it couldn’t directly elevate someone’s realm, True Qi varied from small streams to large mountain streams.

The amount of True Qi complemented the realm; when True Qi was sufficiently robust and broad, Cultivation naturally found it easier to break through, especially for Martial Artists not yet high in their realms.

"This treasure can be exchanged for many benefits; your Ya City could also gain more protection," Ruan Muhuan said.

"You should absorb it directly, holding onto this thing might attract thieves," Wu Hen told Ruan Muhuan.

Looking puzzled, Ruan Muhuan gazed at Wu Hen with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, "Your situation isn’t much better than mine, are you not considering the citizens of Ya City?"

"I haven’t disregarded them, but I need to have the ability as premises," Wu Hen replied.

"But this item could be exchanged for protection."

"Muhuan, your words have enlightened me. The issue with Ya City isn’t the lack of protection but its own weakness. Even if a powerful Martial Artist is brought in to preside, how could we be sure they wouldn’t be letting the wolf into the house? Rather than offering these treasures to one person or another, it’s better to use them to improve myself and rely on myself to protect the citizens of this city; at least I can be sure that I won’t harm them," Wu Hen said.

"But why are you pushing this onto me?" Ruan Muhuan said.

"Isn’t it us now? Didn’t we agree to make you a Wu family member within three months?" Wu Hen said.

Ruan Muhuan fell silent.

She thought it was just a whimsical idea said over drinks.

But he had taken it seriously.

"I… I might not meet your expectations," Ruan Muhuan said.

"Young Lady Muhuan, you underestimate yourself. Forget little Ya City, in the future even Prefecture City will have to address you as True Martial Monarch, and have Mrs. Zeng make a Horse Dismounting Stone just for you, her figure perfectly suited, neither convex nor concave," Wu Hen said.

Listening to Wu Hen’s words, Ruan Muhuan’s almond-shaped eyes widened, not understanding how he could utter such a fantasist’s dream.

"In any case, once you are powerful, you can preside over Ya City, it’s much better to be the lady of the fortress than to serve as a Maid to some second young master," Wu Hen said.

"And what about you? Your body is also weak; you surely can’t just…" Ruan Muhuan asked.

"You know, I don’t like practicing Martial Arts, all that fighting and killing, it doesn’t suit me," Wu Hen sincerely said.

A loser making a comeback?

Sorry, a loser is just a loser, no comeback to speak of.

Instead of wasting resources to remodel his body and strengthen his martial might, he’d rather impart all such martial hardships to his teammate.

After all, since he had given her the resources, if she couldn’t stand firm, it was her problem.

"Alright," Ruan Muhuan didn’t utter any excessively sentimental words, she accepted the piece of Demon Spirit Jade, always keeping it in her palm, gradually absorbing the Spiritual Energy from it.

"When you absorb it, try to use my Spirit Rain Breathing Technique with it, it should enhance the effect," Wu Hen mentioned.

"Yeah, it shouldn’t be hard to break through to the Fourth Level," Ruan Muhuan nodded.

"Are you hungry? We have money now, no need to mooch off others!" Wu Hen said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Muhuan felt uneasy all over, especially eager to hurry back to Prefecture City to pay that meal fee; otherwise, she felt that this guy would bring it up for a lifetime.

With money for food, money for lodging, even the recently purchased Horned Horse could feast on some good fodder.

Suddenly, Wu Hen began to enjoy this lifestyle—making a living from one adventure to another for a while.

Mainly, getting used to luxury made one take it for granted, finding a slightly luxurious life boring...

Only when out of money did he have to sleep in ruined temples, if hungry, just endure, but as soon as the job was done, there was an immediate qualitative leap in life, making it thrilling and joyous!

Drinking, eating meat, listening to the sound of rain, and set out early the next morning for the next bounty, it was enriching and compact, yet he hardly felt any fatigue…

Wu Hen admitted that he too was a bit addicted to this True Martial World, especially seeing his future Valkyrie growing increasingly elegant and charming, even his mouth watered with emotional drool.
