Chapter 18.2
Xie Mingsan and the rest also arrived, but their reaction was unlike Xie Mingjin’s. As soon as they appeared, they immediately encircled the father-son duo, arranging themselves in a rudimentary battle formation. However, as their vision fell upon the two racc.o.o.ns, which were halfway through into the ground, especially the four severed arms, their expressions changed vividly.
Severing the arms of renowned long-armed racc.o.o.ns, such a feat had already stepped beyond their imagination.
In their minds, although the light sword of their second lord was quite formidable, if the latter wished to accomplish this feat, it would be merely a wishful fantasy.
Subsequently, the eyes of the seven attendants simultaneously s.h.i.+fted onto the four-meter long, thick, bulky, and unimaginably large weapon. Looking at their second lord’s pale complexion, then looking at He Yiming’s mighty appearance, even a fool could guess the killer of the two long-armed racc.o.o.ns which lay on the ground.
Xie Grace let out sigh of relief, feeling ashamed inwardly. His face regained some color as he said, “Esteemed brother He, are you…..alright?”
Xie Mingjin’s and the rest immediately had their eyes opened wide, feeling skeptical whether they had heard correct, ‘Second lord is using honorifics?’
Even in the family, he conversed in this manner only before his great uncle, who resided at the tenth layer’s peak and had already been living in seclusion for many years.
However, as they looked again at the spiritual beasts, which lay in the pool of their own blood, they felt this didn’t seem too unreasonable.
He Yiming candidly smiled and twisted his wrist a few times. The huge broadsword immediately split in three parts. However, every one of these parts was by itself more than one meter long. Even in its first form, just the long blade was enough to make it a stand alone, tyrannical weapon.
“Mr. Xie, be at ease, I’m completely fine,” He patted his chest and casually said, “We will follow our previous agreement.”
Xie Grace faintly started and asked, “What agreement?”
He Yiming’s complexion slightly sank as he said, “We agreed to divide the two beasts each between our sides, and thus, the harvests would also be one for each.”
Xie Grace revealed a slight astonishment before he repeatedly nodded and said, “Since brother He is so generous, this surnamed Xie conveys his sincere grat.i.tude.”
Although these two beasts had first been discovered by the Xie family, in the forest, one has to abide the law of the forest- weak are for the strong to prey upon. Since these two beasts had been killed by He Yiming, Xie Grace never thought of stealing a tiger’s prey. However, now that the other side had complied with the previous verbal agreement, the surprise and joy he was feeling at this moment didn’t need to be mentioned.
He Yiming stretched his hand and pulled out the two spiritual beasts from the ground.
However, after observing the beasts for some time, He Yiming felt himself at a loss. He’d absolutely no clue how to deal with this situation.
Xie Grace thought for a moment before stepping forward, “Is brother He worrying about how to deal with these beasts?”
“That’s right,” He Yiming unhesitatingly said, “I wish to extract its inner core and refine it into gold cores. However, I don’t know how to do it.” (Tl: pellet —-> core)
Xie Grace cordially said, “Our Xie family started out by concocting pills. With a legacy of millenniums, we have some knowledge in this field. If you are willing to take a leap of faith, allow our family to deal with this long-armed racc.o.o.n. Within a month at most, we can complete the process and hand over the gold cores, fur, skin, and other items to you.”
He Yiming was faintly astonished inwardly, “Mr. Xie, your family can refine gold cores ?”
Xie Grace’s voice brimmed with confidence as he said, “I can guarantee you that in Fire Crow country, our Xie family is the most accomplished in refining gold cores.”
He Yiming hesitated inwardly. However, after thinking for while, he made his decision.
From his grandfather, he already knew that an inner core couldn’t be consumed directly. It must be first refined into golden cores, only then would it benefit a cultivator in breaking through a bottleneck.
