Chapter 319 Unknown Entity (1/2)
”Sure. Go ahead.” Yuan nodded his head, not hesitating to hand the Empyrean Overlord to Lan Yingying since he trusted her, and even if she wanted to steal it, the Soul Weapon will automatically return to him if it gets too far away from him.
”Here you go.” Yuan handed the sword to her in a casual manner.
”T-This sword is… so heavy!” Lan Yingying was taken by surprise by the weight of the Empyrean Overlord, nearly falling over trying to hold it at first.
”Oh, right, I forgot about that. It weighs about 1,000 jins naturally.” Yuan had forgotten about its weight after handling it like a tree branch for so long.
”Where did you obtain such a treasure? And do you know its background?” she then asked, her gaze staring at the beautiful sword with a somewhat mesmerizing look.
”Apparently, it was found in a Legacy Tomb five hundred years ago. As for its background… It used to be wielded by a Sword Emperor.” Yuan recalled what Feng Yuxiang told him and the Empyrean Overlord's description.
”Sword… Emperor? Do you, by any chance, know the name of this Sword Emperor?” Lan Yingying asked.
”No, I don't.”
”I see…” Lan Yingying mumbled.
”Thank you for letting me see it.”
She handed the Empyrean Overlord back to Yuan a moment later.
”Let's continue moving.” Yuan then said.
”Wait a moment.” Lan Yingying suddenly said, and she pointed at the Earth Dragon's corpse, ”Since you killed the Earth Dragon, its corpse obviously belongs to you, but do you think I can buy it off you?”
”Eh? You want this Earth Dragon's corpse?” Yuan raised his eyebrows, wondering why she wanted it.
”If you want it, you can take it. Also, you don't have to pay me.” Yuan said, as he doesn't have any uses for the corpse, nor does he plan on selling its materials.
”Really? Are you sure? An Earth Dragon's corpse will fetch a lot of money if you sell it...” She asked him just to be sure.
Yuan nodded, ”It's the least I can do for you, who's helping me reach the nearest city.”
”Thank you very much…” Lan Yingying bowed to him before collecting the Earth Dragon's corpse with her spatial ring.
Shortly after, they continued to run across the grassland, encountering a couple more magical beasts in a few hours.
Of course, Yuan wanted to fight these magical beasts despite having a lower cultivation base in comparison.
And just like the Earth Dragon, these Spirit Master magical beasts looked at Yuan with contempt when they realized he was only a Spirit Warrior, lowering their guards.
However, these magical beasts immediately regretted underestimating Yuan's low cultivation base the moment he released his Sword Aura, and they could only powerlessly stare at Yuan as he slashes their body into two parts.
After Yuan killed these magical beasts, Lan Yingying would collect their corpses, almost like a trash collector picking up trash on the sidewalk.
”Do magical beasts not drop monster cores around here or something? I've killed over a dozen of them without a single monster core!” Yuan complained after some time.
