Chapter 319 Debt Collection
“How is this possible? If this kind of Rune modification were to be used on all kinds of equipment, it would completely overturn the entire world of equipment refinement…”
“This kind of Rune could be used on any Spiritual Equipment. A single Rune had two functions, forming two circuits. Oh my God, this could definitely greatly increase the power of a Spiritual Equipment and reduce the cost of equipment refinement.”
The ninth master did not dare to think about it anymore. The main Spirit-Returning Rune was a basic Rune, and it was widely used.
Its improvement could definitely play a subversive role in the world of blacksmiths.
Therefore, the ninth elder was also scared out of her wits. She stared blankly at the parchment, trying to confirm whether her eyes were playing tricks on her or not.
“Master, do you think this is over? I only got one Rune, and there are many pieces of Spiritual Equipment that fell from the back of the mountain…”
“It was probably a Spiritual Equipment kicked down by the little Lightning Tiger while it was playing on the mountain.”
“Now, everyone hopes that a new scrap will fall, so that everyone can fight over it,” Lil’He explained with a smile.
“Little Lightning Tiger? Why does the Stone Golem have the Little Lightning Tiger?” the ninth elder said blankly.
“Oh right, you still don’t know. The other reason why the sect master and the elders fought over the Stone Golem is that it brought back a few Demonic Beasts,” Lil’He said with a smile.
“Brought back a few Demonic Beasts? What on Earth is going on?”
The ninth elder was even more curious. Modifying the equipment refinement Runes was already very shocking, but the Stone Golem actually brought back a few Demonic Beasts. This made the ninth master even more curious.
“Master, do you know why these people only dare to pick up things at the foot of the mountain and don’t dare to go up to Big Brother Stone’s Green Bamboo Peak?” Lil’He asked.
“Could it be that the Demonic Beasts did not allow them to go up?” the ninth elder said.
“Yes. Previously, Big Brother Stone went out for a trip, and then he persuaded a pair of Lightning hawks who were at the Bronze Rank Peak to become his subordinates.”
“On the way back, Big Brother Stone encountered the mother and son of the Lightning Tiger to seek refuge. The Lightning Tiger even found a Black Demon Dog to guard the gate.”
“The Black Demon Dog and the Lightning Tiger were both at the Silver Rank Peak and were extremely powerful.” “The Black Demon Dog was even more loyal and did not allow any strangers to approach it. Even the ordinary elders could not go up the Green Bamboo Peak.”
“Those who could go up the Green Bamboo Peak had to obtain Big Brother Stone’s permission.”
Lil’He continued to speak. She also tried to go up the mountain once. In the end, she was frightened by the Black Demon Dog’s voice and did not dare to go up. Fortunately, after that, she and the little fatty went together and went to the Green Bamboo Peak once, and met with the Big Brother Stone Man.
However, the little fatty could not go up the mountain casually. It was said that only the young girl called Lei Wushuang could go up the mountain at will. This also caused many people to be endlessly envious of Lei Wushuang.
Lil’He told everyone what she knew. She even dragged the ninth elder to the Green Bamboo Peak not far away and saw the huge Black Demon Dog guarding the door from afar. The powerful aura of the Silver Rank Peak scared many people so much that they did not dare to approach it. They could only pick up things at the foot of the mountain.
“It’s really the Silver Rank Peak. Such powerful strength is enough to be a guest elder in the sect. I didn’t expect it to choose to guard the gate here. Why?” The ninth elder could not believe it. She could not understand why such a powerful demonic beast was willing to guard the gate for others. It was truly unbelievable.
Of course, the ninth elder was also a little puzzled. She did not understand why she had a sense of familiarity with the stone man. She could not figure out what it was.
In short, her mind was a mess. She could not make sense of it at all. Her entire head was buzzing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few figures flew over from afar and quickly stopped in front of the ninth elder. They were the elders of the various mountain peaks. They were all the ninth Elder’s senior brothers.
They had come here to fight over the stone golem.
“Ninth junior sister, you’ve come out from closed-door cultivation. I have something to discuss with you. How about giving me your disciple?” The fifth elder asked first.
“Give it to me. I’m the best at refining equipment, so it’s most suitable to be my disciple,” the eighth elder hurriedly said, afraid that others would snatch Li Xuan away.
“Ninth junior sister, I don’t have a single disciple. Can you give the Stone Golem to me? That way, I’ll be able to inherit it continuously.”
The group of elders surrounded the ninth junior sister and talked non-stop. They did not give in to each other. All of them wanted to take the little fatty as a disciple so that they could get the stone man and properly nurture him.
During this process, the ninth elder was stunned for a moment. Finally, she said with a bitter smile.
“Senior brothers, let the sect master decide on this matter. I can’t make the decision.”
“No, that old fellow sect master definitely wants to take in a disciple himself. We can’t let him decide.” The third elder immediately rejected.
“That’s right. The sect master is preparing to snatch someone this time. Wouldn’t letting him decide be like throwing a sheep into a tiger’s mouth?” The fourth elder also shook his head.
“I don’t agree with letting the sect master decide either. Don’t look at how fair he is usually. When he meets such a good Stone Golem, he definitely won’t give up.”
The few elders were chattering non-stop. All of them did not agree. This kind of insistence made the ninth elder feel helpless.
“If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll ask the grand elder to decide. This is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful Stone Golem…”
“If we nurture him well, he might be able to raise the status of our subdued beast sect once again.”
The ninth elder once again made a suggestion. She could offend anyone if she chose someone to give Li Xuan to. If she did not, she would offend even more people. A lot of senior brothers had helped her before, so she could only ask the grand elder to decide. “This… is also a method.”
When everyone heard this, they were silent for a while before nodding. They felt that this was indeed not a bad idea.
So many people fighting over it was not a method. If they could get the order from the Gold Rank grand elder, then the matter would be settled.
However, everyone was a little worried and did not dare to disturb the grand elder easily.
The main thing was that the four grand elders had been at the back of the mountain. It was said that they were busy with important matters and did not allow others to disturb them easily.
On the other hand, the sect master often came into contact with the four grand elders at the back of the mountain. One could ask the sect master.
Thinking of this, the elders left quickly and went to look for the sect master. The ninth elder, did not follow them. Instead, she accompanied Lil’He and walked up the Green Bamboo Peak.
As the little fatty’s master, she was still qualified to go up the mountain. Moreover, she always felt that she was very familiar with the Stone Golem, so she wanted to find out the reason.
She was deeply curious.
The ninth elder walked to the top of the Green Bamboo Peak and saw the Black Demon Dog that was emitting a terrifying aura. She also saw the Lightning Tiger and the two Lightning Hawks.
Seeing so many Demonic Beasts that had not been contracted and were just quietly standing on the top of the mountain, the curiosity in the ninth elder’s eyes became even more intense.
However, the Black Demon Dog guarded the door. She knew that she could not defeat the Black Demon Dog, so she was about to say something when suddenly…
The Black Demon Dog opened its mouth and said solemnly, “The master invites you in.”
“Master?”
The ninth elder was stunned. Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Demonic Beasts were wild and untamed. They would rather die than acknowledge others as their master. It was even more impossible for a Silver Rank Peak Demonic Beast to do so.
However, not only did the Black Demon Dog call Li Xuan its master, but it also addressed it as a matter of course. This could not help but surprise elder Jiu Jiu.
With deep curiosity, the ninth elder arranged for Lil’He to stay outside while she strode into Li Xuan’s cave abode. She saw the tall Stone Golem.
“Are the three Transcendence Fruits that you owe me ready?” Li Xuan’s voice echoed in the cave abode.
The ninth elder was stunned at first, but then her pupils constricted. Her small white hands tightly covered her small mouth as she said in disbelief, “You… you are that lord?”.
“Yes, with the array formation around, the outside world can not hear the sounds inside the cave nor see the scene inside. Take a seat first.”
Li Xuan pointed at the seat beside him. His figure gradually transformed from a Stone Golem into his true form.
“It’s really you!”
Looking at the handsome Li Xuan, the ninth elder, a beautiful woman who still retained her charm, had joy flashed through her watery eyes. Then, she hurriedly took out the Transcendence Fruits.
“These are the Transcendence Fruits prepared for you.”
