Chapter 13 Brother will help you because he sees that you get along well with him!

“This is…a Third Tier Elementary Divine Swift Black Steed?”

“How is that possible?”

The Sword Spirit’s astonished voice echoed in Wei Qingyan’s mind.

“What? Third Tier Elementary?”

“How did Senior Brother catch it?”

“Has he been hiding his strength?”

Wei Qingyan’s heart trembled.

The Divine Swift Black Steed was one of the fastest Yao Beasts of its tier.

Although it was Third Tier Elementary, in terms of speed, it could instantly kill most Third Tier Advanced Yao Beasts!

Divine Swift Black Steeds were exceptionally precious and rare!

Tall, majestic, and awe-inspiring, they were deeply loved by officials and nobles.

Only large Families and powerful forces had the ability to capture them, using them to reward outstanding juniors.

Riding a Divine Swift Black Steed was a symbol of status and position!

“How on earth did he catch it?”

The Sword Spirit was utterly bewildered.

Even if Li Xuanfeng was at the Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Level, and even if he had cultivated the Youlong Body Technique to its limit, there was no way he could have caught up to such a Yao Beast!

He had only left for a short while, so how did he return riding such a Third Tier steed?

It felt as if he had just picked up a mount from over there.

“Could it be that he’s still hiding his strength?”

“But why can’t I see through it?”

“Is it really because I’m too weak right now?”

“Or is his method of concealment very Advanced?”

After her initial shock, the Sword Spirit felt confused.

It seemed that only if Li Xuanfeng had hidden his strength would it make sense!

If that were truly the case, she might need to re-evaluate Li Xuanfeng’s talent!

“Stop spacing out. Are the spoils of war cleared?”

Li Xuanfeng said, looking at Wei Qingyan, who had her rosy mouth slightly agape, wearing an astonished expression.

“Not… not yet!”

Wei Qingyan snapped out of it.

Li Xuanfeng dismounted, and he and Wei Qingyan quickly cleared the spoils of war.

“Sigh, so poor!”

Li Xuanfeng sighed.

These were just Body Tempering Realm and Spirit Aperture Realm bandits; they probably hadn’t robbed anything good in their daily lives.

Even if they did, they either offered it to their boss or quickly consumed it themselves.

Li Xuanfeng didn’t care for the items they had plundered.

Aside from some gold and silver trinkets for ordinary people and scattered Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid, there was nothing else.

As for the pile of scrap metal-like weapons, Li Xuanfeng cared for them even less.

Most of them were the lowest grade, First Tier Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

They had some value, but not much, and they were very mixed!

“All these things are yours!”

Li Xuanfeng said casually.

“No! I’m not qualified to keep all these spoils of war!”

Wei Qingyan shook her head decisively.

She hadn’t killed the bandits alone; Li Xuanfeng should rightfully take a portion.

Even if Li Xuanfeng hadn’t acted, Wei Qingyan wouldn’t have kept everything for herself.

“I don’t care for them!”

“If you don’t want them, just leave them here!”

Li Xuanfeng said indifferently.

Wei Qingyan fell silent for a moment.

These spoils of war weren't particularly valuable, but if bundled up and taken to a treasure pavilion in Xunshan City, they could be exchanged for some decent Cultivation resources.

If left here, it would be a pity and a waste.

“Alright, once we reach Xunshan City, after exchanging these items for Cultivation resources, I’ll give Senior Brother his share!”

Wei Qingyan no longer refused and packed up the scattered spoils of war.

“Ding! Wei Qingyan has obtained a large number of scattered spoils of war. One hundredfold return. You have received one Spirit Gathering Pill!”

“It’s actually a quality return, not bad, not bad!”

When the System prompt sounded, Li Xuanfeng was overjoyed.

The System’s returns were divided into quantity returns and quality returns.

If it were a quantity return, it would mean Li Xuanfeng would receive one hundred times the spoils of war Wei Qingyan obtained.

This would essentially give Li Xuanfeng more scrap metal, which was meaningless.

But a quality return was a great gain.

The System calculated the total value of all of Wei Qingyan’s spoils of war and then returned an item one hundred times more precious—a Spirit Gathering Pill!

The Spirit Gathering Pill was a Second Tier High Grade Medicinal Pill.

It could allow a Cultivator at the Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Level to directly Breakthrough to the Qi Circulation Realm!

Because of its extremely high success rate, virtually no side effects, and extreme difficulty in refining, it was incredibly precious and had no market price!

Receiving the Spirit Gathering Pill put Li Xuanfeng in a great mood.

Next, he should continue to give things to Wei Qingyan to get returns.

“The bandit leader also had some good items. These two are for you!”

Li Xuanfeng handed the Second Tier longsword to Wei Qingyan and then pulled out a Barrier Breaking Pill from his embrace.

“Ah?”

Wei Qingyan, who had just finished packing the spoils of war, was stunned.

“No, no, no, I absolutely cannot accept this. You killed him, so all the spoils of war should belong to you!”

Wei Qingyan quickly shook her head and waved her hands, firmly refusing.

She had received many benefits from Li Xuanfeng, whether it was the Yao Beast corpses from the Hunting Garden or his promise to help her take on missions.

Or the Black Wind Horse and spoils of war he had just given her, all of which Wei Qingyan kept deeply in mind.

She vowed to find an opportunity to repay him.

But she hadn’t expected Li Xuanfeng to offer her more things; how could Wei Qingyan possibly accept them!

“I have better things. These items are useless if they stay with me!”

Li Xuanfeng said.

“I cannot take them!”

Wei Qingyan shook her head resolutely.

“Don’t worry, I keep the good stuff for myself!”

Li Xuanfeng looked at Wei Qingyan.

Wei Qingyan still shook her head.

“Stop talking nonsense. If I give them to you, just take them. I don’t need anything in return!”

Li Xuanfeng deliberately put on a stern face, grabbed Wei Qingyan’s slender hand, and pressed both the longsword and the Barrier Breaking Pill into her grasp.

He truly didn’t need anything in return from Wei Qingyan, because the System would return it, otherwise he wouldn’t be so generous.

Wei Qingyan stared blankly at the longsword and Medicinal Pill in her hand, then looked at Li Xuanfeng’s deliberately stern face.

Suddenly, her nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with a layer of mist.

She was actually very short on Cultivation resources.

Although she had the Sword Spirit accompanying her, the Sword Spirit was like a remnant soul, very weak itself.

The Sword Spirit was knowledgeable and could guide Wei Qingyan in her Cultivation and point her in the right direction, but it couldn’t provide her with Cultivation resources.

Wei Qingyan’s Family had once suffered a devastating disaster, and there was no one else in the world she could rely on. Her own strength was also very weak.

If she were a Loose Cultivator, it would not only be fraught with danger but also extremely difficult to compete for resources.

So the Sword Spirit told her to join the Hundred Sword Mountain.

Entering a Cultivation Sect, as long as she displayed talent, obtaining resources would be much easier.

However, she had only been in the mountain for a short time and had not yet made a name for herself at Hundred Sword Mountain, nor had she been favored by an Elder and taken as a Disciple. Every resource had to be strived for with all her might.

Yet, she was fortunate to meet Li Xuanfeng, who had always looked after her and helped her.

Her current Spirit Aperture Realm Cultivation was also greatly related to Li Xuanfeng!

Intense emotions surged deep within Wei Qingyan, and too much sorrow brewed at the tip of her nose.

“Senior Brother, why are you so good to me?”

The mist in her eyes turned into falling tears, adding a touch of broken beauty to her exquisite face, truly making her a sight to behold.

Li Xuanfeng was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected this gesture to move Wei Qingyan to tears.

“Senior Brother feels a connection with you, so I’m just helping you out!”

“Don’t hesitate to use them. Anyway, these things aren’t of much use if they stay with me!”

Li Xuanfeng gently reached out and ruffled Wei Qingyan’s head.

“Mm.”

Wei Qingyan wiped away the tears from her face.

“Let’s go!”

Li Xuanfeng mounted his horse, no longer lingering.

“Okay!”

Wei Qingyan nodded, wiped her tears, put away her things, and likewise mounted her horse, following behind.

“Qingyan!”

The Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly echoed in Wei Qingyan’s mind.

“Hm?”

Wei Qingyan didn’t know what she was going to say now.

“Your Senior Brother is a very good person. You might never meet another like him in this lifetime!”

“So… if you are truly interested, remember to cherish him well!”

If the voice hadn’t directly sounded in her mind, Wei Qingyan would have thought she misheard.

The Sword Spirit had always been unoptimistic about Li Xuanfeng’s talent.

It was not difficult to tell from her usual words that she felt Li Xuanfeng was not worthy of Wei Qingyan.

She even hinted to Wei Qingyan before going down the mountain not to fall for Li Xuanfeng.

But now, her tone had sharply shifted, telling her to cherish him well.

Wei Qingyan silently nodded.

How could she not cherish such a Senior Brother? She had just wanted to throw herself into Li Xuanfeng’s arms and cry her heart out!
