Chapter 58

(Listen (Thank you, reader Lisis, for your generous encouragement! Hehe))

"Is this crystal called glass?" Elder Yun carefully took out a wine bottle and examined it closely, "What does glass mean?"

"Glass is..." Jiang Han was about to answer casually but suddenly realized that this question couldn't be answered! After choking for a long time, Jiang Han finally managed to say, "Glass is glass, a unique kind of crystal!"

Elder Yun rolled his eyes, "Nonsense!"

Jiang Han shrugged, watching Elder Yun study the wine bottle. A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind but quickly disappeared, and he couldn't grasp it.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Han frowned, then focused his mind, trying hard to recall the fleeting inspiration.

"Strange, what was it?" Jiang Han was a bit confused. He felt a thin layer of mist in front of his eyes, as if it could be easily pierced, but he just couldn't remember.

"This crystal called 'glass' is so rare! I wonder how your master found it." At this moment, Elder Yun put away the wine bottle and sighed.

"Crystal... rare..." Jiang Han's eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately recalled the bit of inspiration he had caught earlier!

In an instant, Jiang Han thought of many things, his eyes becoming brighter and his body trembling with excitement.

Elder Yun's emphasis on this glass bottle far exceeded Jiang Han's expectations. He already regarded it as a rare crystal, believing it to be very precious.

However, in reality, this glass bottle was extremely worthless to Jiang Han. He could use a small amount of Dream Coins to exchange for a lot of wine, thus obtaining many glass bottles!

In that moment, a very easy way to make money sprang to mind for Jiang Han!

He could use Dream Coins to exchange for some wine, then auction off the wine bottles through an auction. Novel things always attract people, and glass had never appeared here before, so it would naturally pique many people's curiosity.

According to the experience of martial artists, no crystal is useless, such as beast crystals. Perhaps this glass could be beneficial for cultivation.

However, there was one problem: the shape of the wine bottle easily suggested that it was a container for liquids, which would naturally lead to more associations.

If this crystal is so precious, why would it be used as a container? And... such a large piece. This would inevitably raise suspicions and significantly reduce the value of glass!

However, this problem lingered in Jiang Han's mind for only a moment before he found a solution.

He remembered the system's "manufacturing function"!

There was no doubt that this function was very powerful, but Jiang Han had not used it much yet and lacked the experience to know how to utilize it.

But now, the manufacturing function was undoubtedly of great use. Jiang Han could completely melt down the glass bottles and reshape them into ordinary stone forms!

"What's wrong with you?" Elder Yun noticed Jiang Han's unusual state and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Jiang Han came to his senses, chuckled, and tried to suppress his excitement.

Elder Yun looked at him meaningfully but didn't say more. He knew Jiang Han had many secrets, and although he was curious about some of them, he wouldn't force him.

Everyone has their own secrets, and he was no exception!

Elder Yun turned his head and looked at the innkeeper, saying, "I have some matters to attend to, so I won't stay longer. I'll be leaving now."

"Leaving so soon? Have something to eat first!" The innkeeper was genuinely grateful to Elder Yun. Upon hearing that he was leaving, he quickly and excitedly spoke.

"Sure!" Before Elder Yun could respond, Jiang Han had already agreed, then grinned, "I'm hungry. I want chicken legs and wings, duck legs and wings, and... whatever else is good, just bring it!"

"You brat!" Elder Yun scolded with a smile.

"Sure, sure!" The innkeeper was delighted and hurriedly agreed, as if afraid that Elder Yun would object, "Benefactor, and little brother, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

Saying this, the innkeeper rushed to the kitchen. Due to the previous incident, the inn was empty, and even the chef had run away, so the innkeeper had to cook personally.

"Brat, are you really that hungry? Or are you deliberately stalling, afraid to meet him?" Elder Yun took a sip of wine and smiled at Jiang Han, "What's this called? Nostalgia?"

Jiang Han's mouth twitched, then he shook his head and laughed coldly, "Nostalgia? You're kidding! I only have one hometown!"

"Earth," he silently added in his mind.

Elder Yun naturally didn't know what Jiang Han was thinking. He just assumed that Jiang Han didn't want to recognize Ye Qianchou as his father.

"Why bother?" After a while, Elder Yun sighed lightly.

"Put yourself in his shoes." Jiang Han opened his mouth and calmly said four words.

Elder Yun fell silent, seemingly recalling some past events, and sighed softly, shaking his head without a word.

At this moment, Yan Yumo came downstairs, still in black, but she had taken off her previous black robe. Now she wore slightly tight clothing that perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure.

Jiang Han's eyes lit up, and he whistled at Yan Yumo, earning a flirtatious glare from her.

"Tsk, tsk, at least a C," Jiang Han smacked his lips and sighed.

Elder Yun raised his head slightly, looking at Jiang Han's profile with a complex expression.

In Jiang Han's mouth, strange words often came out, leaving him puzzled and unable to understand their meaning. Moreover, to be honest, he couldn't see through Jiang Han!

Clearly a 17-year-old boy, his thoughts were deeper than some adults, and his outward appearance seemed carefree, but Elder Yun always had a feeling that this wasn't Jiang Han's true nature!

"I hope my choice isn't wrong."

Elder Yun sighed inwardly. He had taken Jiang Han into the sect entirely by chance, or rather, due to a strange feeling in his heart.

At his level of cultivation, any feeling was not without reason!

When Jiang Han first fell from the sky, Elder Yun had sensed his presence but didn't pay much attention. In his perception, Jiang Han was like a tiny flame, insignificant.

However, Jiang Han mysteriously arrived at the village and, upon seeing the tragic scene, didn't immediately leave. This piqued Elder Yun's interest slightly.

Later, Jiang Han's performance completely exceeded his expectations. Despite knowing the huge gap in strength, he still had the courage to attack, which Elder Yun admired.

And there was Xiao Bai, the most surprising existence to Elder Yun!

He could sense the special bloodline within Xiao Bai, even making him somewhat cautious. This indicated that Xiao Bai's father, while weaker than him, wasn't much weaker!

And such a Xiao Bai wolf would follow an ordinary-qualified youth? That was impossible! The only explanation was something about Jiang Han!

After that, when Jiang Han took out the jade pendant, Elder Yun truly decided to take him in!

Elder Yun recognized that jade pendant!

In his memory, he had only seen this jade pendant a few times, and each time it was in the hands of the direct descendants of the Heavenly Inquiry Empire's royal family!

Almost instantly, Elder Yun confirmed Jiang Han's identity.

Heavenly Inquiry Empire, direct descendant of the royal family!

And this was the most important reason for his interest in Jiang Han!
