AST 2124 - Treasure Beast Advancing Divine Worm (1/2)

Qing Shui didn’t expect that Man Jing would have the Divine Square Cauldron. This item was the most precious to Qing Shui at the moment and it was also something which he had desired the most. If his Flying Sword Divine Weapon could be upgraded by a few levels, his abilities would rise significantly.

Although he had defeated Bei Huangyu, he knew that he had just entered that circle and his strength was at the very bottom. After all, he had some techniques and abilities which he needed time to perform. If he wasn't given the chance to do so, he could do nothing but be killed instantly.

Qing Shui placed the Divine Square Cauldrons into the Treasure Basin, planning to use them to upgrade the Flying Sword after their quality had been improved.

He was in a very good mood. The Rainflower Pavilion's Pavilion Mistress had even said that she would keep a lookout for the Divine Square Cauldrons and she would further thank him after she had gotten a child. However, Qing Shui had already decided that the two Divine Square Cauldrons from earlier was sufficient for the medical fees. If there were more Divine Square Cauldrons in the future, he wouldn't refuse them nor would he let them lose out.

”Are those little cauldrons very useful to you?” Nuo Lan sat opposite Qing Shui and asked.

”Mmm, they are. I have a technique which requires me to deplete these things.” Qing Shui didn’t tell the whole truth, but it wasn't exactly a lie neither.

”I see. I'll help you find more of them. I remember one of my friend having it in the past. It looked the same. She only kept it because she thought that it looked nice.” Nuo Lan recalled and said.

”Can you help me ask your friend then? I'm willing to have a trade with her. I should have many things that she should be interested in.” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

”Don't worry. It'll be fine with me around, assuming it's still around. You'll still have to thank me after this.” Nuo Lan smiled and looked at Qing Shui. She felt that this young man was getting more and more mysterious and it seemed that his medical skills were too heaven-defying as well. The same went for his alchemy and cooking.

What else could she do? She knew that it wasn't a good thing to be overly curious about a man, but there were situations where one wouldn't be able to pull away despite knowing this logic. She was able to stop herself from prying too much, but there was no way that she could stop the curiosity that was growing in her heart.

”How do you want me to thank you? Why don't I gift myself to you?” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said seriously.

”That'd be nice, but I can't afford to accept it.” Nuo Lan said a little dejectedly.

Qing Shui found it really funny. He hadn't expected that Nuo Lan could say something like this.

”Qing Shui, I've gotten some news. Are you interested to hear about it?” Nuo Lan suddenly said. There seemed to be hope flickering in her eyes.

”What news is that? Is it so good that it can light up your eyes like this?” Qing Shui smiled and asked.

”A treasure beast has appeared in Redcloud Valley. Are you interested?” Nuo Lan didn't make things clear. She clearly wanted to let Qing Shui ask her questions.

”Oh? Treasure beast? What kind of treasure beast?” Qing Shui's interest was piqued. The Dragon Slaying Beast was an evolved form of a treasure beast and of course, he would be very interested in them. Such heavenly and earthly treasures were extremely rare and since he had encountered them, he would have to go and try out his luck.

”An Advancing Divine Worm!” Nuo Lan's eyes gleamed as she said this.

”What is it? What uses does it have?” Qing Shui hadn't heard of the Advancing Divine Worm before and although he wouldn't underestimate worms, he didn't think well of them either.
