38 Only a Fool Wouldnst Take Advantage! (1/2)

Scavenging his way through the mountain of metal scraps and sorted them out. Placing Artifact scraps on another side and miscellaneous items on the other. Cleaning the room, Jiang Tian stood in between to mountains of garbage and lightly smiled.

This process took several hours but it was worth it since he learned something about these disposed items in the process.

First, although they could never be used again, they still contained traces of Spirituality that Jiang Tian could possibly siphon out and absorb as his own. Unfortunately, these items were abandoned here for several decades with some even stayed here for centuries so they should be handled with care.

A single misstep would turn them into dust so Jiang Tian was stuck without a solution.

Despite his excellent Spiritual Energy control. With his cultivation, he couldn't do somethings that he could easily do back when he was still a peak existence.

But someone like Jiang Tian never gave up in the face of adversities. Contray to one's expectations, the smile on his lips deepened and his eyes flashed with determination.

Touching an Artifact dagger. Jiang Tian probed for its Spiritual Vein but upon contact, the Artifact dagger crumbled into dust and dissipated into the wind.

Clicking his tongue, Jiang Tian couldn't help but curse, ”Damn they're even more fragile than I thought. If I dared to open their Spiritual Vein and siphon the traces of Spiritual Energy within, I'm afraid that they'll crumble before the process of suction completes.”

Trying his best, Jiang Tian tested his idea on the other Artifacts and miscellaneous items but the end result was the same. Either, Jiang Tian managed to siphon a thread of Spiritual Energy or they crumbled into ancient dust.

”Is there nothing that I can really do to scavenge these items? Are they really useless?” Jiang Tian racked his brains for any solutions and there, an epiphany struck his mind.

”That's right! I have the Enhancement and Creation System! Maybe it can help me scavenge these items...” Jiang Tian facepalmed, he was so focused on doing all the work by himself that he forgot the existence of his cheat. The Enhancement and Creation System.

Opening his System Menu, Jiang Tian tapped on the Enhancement Icon and a mechanical voice said.

[Materials for Sacrifice has been detected! Please mark the target for Enhancement!]

”Materials for Sacrifice has been detected? Does this mean that I can use these items as Sacrifices for Enhancement?!” Jiang Tian was elated and a sweet smile decorated his lips. Having so many materials for Enhancement meant that he could increase his strength through the power of items.

”Then what should I use as the target for Enhancement? Since I don't have any items with me other than my robes and these pair of flipflops...” Jiang Tian mulled over and narrowed his eyes. His line of sight pierced through the garbage and landed on a transparent box containing a six needles that could serve as a hidden weapon.

Sorting it away as slowly as he could. Jiang Tian also took a sword and a dagger from the pile of garbage and marked them as target for Enhancement.

As soon as the system's mechanical voice of confirmation echoed out, a faint and dreamy hammer materialized in the air as Jiang Tian grasped it in mid-air and started hammering down!

Outside the warehouse, Xia Bingyue and Xia Guanyu shared a cup of tea, looking all tranquil and calm. Spring breeze swept past their bodies bestowing a cooling sensation that contrasted the warmth of the tea that they drank. Smiling at each other, Xia Bingyue said.

”Father, you really are shameless! To think that you would place his expectations that high and let him fall down...” Xia Bingyue looked like she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She felt pity for Jiang Tian but a side of her said that it should make him understand how decrepit the Xia Clan was.

Demanding cultivation resources like it's nothing. Though the Patriarch felt obligated to bestow him what he required. Her heart would still bleed if she casually gave resources to someone that wasn't officially a member of the Xia Clan.

And in the first place, she didn't violate her promise, within the Grand Elder's warehouse was a treasure trove of resources, only that those resources were deemed useless.

”Yue'er, I feel guilty about what I did, but at the sametime, it felt quite refreshing and amusing, seeing someone as stone-faced as him feel suspicious about our actions. I wonder how satisfying it would be to see his indignant reaction when he comes out, don't you agree so?”

Xia Guanyu said and the shameless pair of father and daughter nodded at each other.
