The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 577: The Mysterious Token
On the way back, no matter how much Crazy Zhou pestered Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan refused to give him even a bit of anything.
Helpless, Crazy Zhou had no choice but to quiet down.
After returning to Yuquan Bar, Liu Zixuan went straight into an unoccupied private room, refusing entry to anyone during this time.
After locking the door from inside, he placed the treasures he had just acquired on the table.
He briefly browsed through the ’Shadowy Maze’ secret cultivation manual. It mainly discussed how to increase attack speed and some assassination techniques. Overall, it was not just a manual on body techniques but also taught cultivators how to quickly take an enemy’s life.
Because of this, the members under Shi Kui from the Shadows were all invisible assassins.
After a cursory glance, Liu Zixuan remembered most of it and could fully integrate it into his own cultivation techniques. This manual could be handed over to Huzi, allowing him to train a batch of masters akin to shadows.
Placing the manual aside, Liu Zixuan picked up the golden token.
The token was not large, only about half the size of a palm. On the front was a large Chinese character for ’Dragon,’ and on the back was an engraved golden dragon, vivid and lifelike as if a true dragon was attached to it.
Apart from this, there were no useful clues. For a moment, Liu Zixuan could not figure out what this token was used for.
Judging by its material and craftsmanship, it seemed to have no connection to the Shadows, but Liu Zixuan had a vague feeling that this token was by no means simple!
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Liu Zixuan decided to keep it and wait to find the right person to ask.
Lastly, he turned his attention to the final box.
A square wooden box that looked very exquisite, with silver material encasing the surroundings of the box.
Liu Zixuan lightly pressed a button-like part on the bottom, and the wooden box sprang open.
A pair of entirely black, shiny daggers appeared before Liu Zixuan. Both daggers were identical, each twenty centimeters long and three centimeters wide.
Liu Zixuan gently picked them up, feeling a chill to the touch unlike any ordinary cold weapon, almost as if he was holding an ice column carved from the center of an iceberg. The bone-chilling cold swept across his body, causing even Liu Zixuan at the Imperial Realm Early Stage to shiver twice.
Looking at the two dark daggers with mild surprise: "What fine weapons!"
Weapons come in various types: sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, etc. But every item is graded.
For example, a regular sharp-edged sword can kill, but it is merely a tool. The Nameless Sword requires recognizing its master through blood, capable of giving birth to a sword spirit and reaching Man and Sword Unity to some degree with its wielder. Only such weapons are considered handy.
These daggers, while not reaching the level of the Nameless Sword, are not far off, at least several times superior to ordinary daggers.
Liu Zixuan snickered softly to himself: "I reckon this should be Shi Kui’s real weapon."
"But who should I give them to?" Liu Zixuan fell into silence. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
He had Silver Needles, so he did not need these daggers, but such treasures could not just be sold off; they needed to be put to their best use.
After pondering over those around him, Huzi, being a burly man, didn’t quite fit with these small weapons.
The ladies like Jiang Yiyi hadn’t learned this type of strange body technique, so they also weren’t suitable for using hidden weaponry.
For a moment, Liu Zixuan couldn’t think of anyone suitable to receive them.
"I’ll keep them for now and hand them over when I meet the right person," Liu Zixuan smiled, shaking his head, placing them back in the wooden box.
Any weapon can only unleash its full potential in the hands of the most suitable person.
Otherwise, making someone unsuitable wield these weapons would only reduce them to mere fighting tools.
Having fiddled around for a while, Liu Zixuan sat cross-legged on the sofa.
With a little over half an hour before he would meet those big shots at the Imperial Garden Restaurant, even though it might seem calm now, Liu Zixuan still needed to prepare a bit.
After all, no one could say for sure that an unforeseen incident wouldn’t occur. In these times, people who would risk their lives for fame and fortune weren’t few and far between.
After a fierce battle, Liu Zixuan’s meridians were severely damaged. Although there was the Holy Medical Scripture for healing, it was auxiliary, and Liu Zixuan hadn’t taken the initiative to do it himself.
He needed to restore some strength to ensure he could stay safe should there be any sudden mishaps during dinner.
Clearing his mind and focusing, Liu Zixuan slowly placed his hands on his knees.
He silently activated the Holy Medical Scripture to begin healing.
After about twenty minutes, Liu Zixuan opened his eyes, retrieved an elixir from his pocket, and swallowed it.
Rising slowly, he felt less fatigued and more invigorated.
Smiling broadly, he said, "It seems it will take at least two or three more days to recover to the peak. I do miss the Celestial Dew from Lingxiu Village. If I had that to soak in overnight, I’d be back to peak condition by tomorrow!"
After a bit of lamentation, Liu Zixuan packed up his things and headed outside.
Seeing Crazy Zhou and Huzi playing pool not far away, he asked, "Where are the sisters?"
"The eldest daughter of the Jiang Family went to find Wang Liang, said there was something to do. Luo Xi went home to catch up on sleep, and the third sister is waiting for you in the office," Huzi replied.
Liu Zixuan nodded and walked towards the office.
"Looks like you had quite the haul," Third Sister An said with a smile.
Liu Zixuan sat on the office desk, placing the items forward: "It’s okay, but they don’t serve much purpose for me."
"Right now, the Seven-Star Tomb should be the only thing left that interests you," Third Sister An teased with a smile.
"Oh, you suddenly know me so well?" Liu Zixuan leaned forward a bit: "Want to get to know me better?"
"You’re so cheeky!" Third Sister An pushed Liu Zixuan’s face, full of cheeky smiles, away, stood up, and said, "It’s about time, let’s head to the Imperial Garden."
"Alright." Liu Zixuan took a step forward then suddenly paused, taking out the golden token: "Do you know the origins of this token?"
Third Sister An took the token, frowned slightly, and after a while, shook her head: "I haven’t seen it before, but judging by its material, it doesn’t seem like a token from an ordinary place. Got it from Shi Kui?"
"Yes." Liu Zixuan put the token away again: "It seems I’ll have to visit Celestial Secret Pavilion’s Old Qiu before going to the Seven-Star Tomb tomorrow."
"Only he might know," Third Sister An said as she grabbed her bag, and together with Liu Zixuan, headed outside.
Since it was a gathering of elite figures from both east and west cities, they didn’t bring along Huzi and others, but instead, headed to the Imperial Garden with Crazy Zhou and one other person...
PS: Only four updates today, worked all afternoon in the rain and feel uncomfortable all over...
