Chapter 31

Xiao Yuran was taken aback, and did not refute.

What Xiao Hengshan was most worried about was indeed this. If it were those with broken dragon veins, there might still be a chance for repair, but for someone like Xiao Yuran, who was born without dragon veins, there had never been a case in the Dragon Martial Continent where anyone could cure it.

Su Han’s talent was indeed high, and he was also an alchemist, but for Xiao Hengshan to put so much at stake to believe in him was clearly impossible.

"Then, do you want to cultivate?" Su Han asked with a smile.

"Of course I do!"

Xiao Yuran’s beautiful eyes immediately showed anticipation: "I also want to become a legendary powerhouse, flying through the sky and diving into the earth, capable of anything. That way, I can always follow you, watch over you, and not let you flirt with other women!"

Su Han: "…"

At first, Su Han thought what Xiao Yuran said was reasonable, but the last few sentences almost made him spit blood.

"If that’s the only reason, then I really can’t help you." Su Han rolled his eyes and said.

"Just kidding, little Su Han, big brother Su Han, please help me!"

Xiao Yuran tugged at Su Han’s clothes, coquettishly saying: "Even though I know you might not be able to help me, I still want to give you this face and ask you!"

"Grass…" Su Han couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

He had lived for so many years and considered himself to have a deep understanding of human nature, but he really didn’t know what Xiao Yuran was thinking.

Hu Feng, standing to the side, twitched the corner of his mouth and quietly moved to one side.

"I initially thought that Lord Han was lucky to marry such a well-behaved wife as Xiao Yuran, but now it seems… not so lucky after all!" Hu Feng thought to himself.

"Alright, alright."

Su Han said: "If you really want me to help you, then go find a place to play. I need to go to the warehouse to get materials, so I can save up money to buy the Spirit Flower for you in the future."

"Looks like my husband is good to me, hehe, I’ll go first!" Xiao Yuran skipped away, seemingly very happy.

Looking at her cute back, Su Han had the urge to bash his head in.

…

Xiao Family, Warehouse.

This place stored all the spirit items and wealth of the Xiao Family, but it was managed by several people.

Su Han came to the door where the spirit items were stored and said to the old guard: "I’m here to take some spirit items."

"May I ask what spirit items Lord Han plans to take?" The old man smiled.

"I’ll tell you once we go inside." Su Han said.

The old man nodded and opened the warehouse door.

Instantly, a rainbow of light filled Su Han’s vision.

This place wasn’t large, but the spirit items were piled up like small mountains. On the walls, there were also many holes, and inside those holes were more spirit items, clearly of a higher grade, stored separately.

"These are all the spirit items of the Xiao Family, Lord Han, not bad, right?" The old man said proudly.

As the leading family among the four major families, the Xiao Family naturally had the most spirit items. In his view, Su Han had never seen so many spirit items.

At least, he hadn’t seen them in the Su Family.

However, Su Han’s words immediately shattered the old man’s pride.

"Is that all?"

"Is that not enough?" The old man showed a dissatisfied expression.

"Too poor." Su Han shook his head.

"Lord Han, isn’t that a bit too much to say? You are only at the Dragon Vein Realm. Any of these spirit items would be useful to you. Even if you don’t need them, it’s not right to say they are too poor, is it?" The old man was secretly angry.

"Oh, I didn’t mean it that way."

Su Han realized this and thought to himself that he had been reborn and couldn’t judge things with the perspective of his previous life.

"Hmph!" The old man grunted and said nothing.

"These, these, and these, have someone move them to my room." Su Han pointed to some spirit items.

"So many?"

The old man’s eyes widened. The spirit items Su Han pointed to were at least several hundred, even close to a thousand!

This was nearly half of the Xiao Family’s spirit items!

Most importantly, among them were some high-grade spirit items, and even… one Silver-grade spirit item!

The entire Xiao Family only had three Silver-grade spirit items, which were obtained at the cost of the lives of the Xiao Family’s guards!

In the Dragon Martial Continent, weapons, spirit items, and pills were also classified by grade.

From low to high, they were: Low-grade, Mid-grade, High-grade, Silver-grade, Gold-grade, Purple-Gold-grade, Holy-Spirit-grade, Earth-Dark-grade, and Heaven-Mysterious-grade.

Starting from the Silver-grade, each grade was further divided into Lower, Upper, and Supreme.

For example, the Ancient Spirit Pill that Su Han refined was a High-grade pill. The Blood-Generating Pill, which Su Han called Supreme, was actually between a High-grade pill and a Lower Silver-grade pill in the Dragon Martial Continent.

A Lower Silver-grade pill could be exchanged for ten Lower Silver-grade spirit items.

"No, no!"

The old man looked at the spirit items Su Han had chosen and immediately refused: "You’ve chosen too many, and that Silver-grade spirit item, the entire Xiao Family only has three, and I can’t give it to you."

"My treatment is the same as the family head’s. Can’t you even give me one Lower Silver-grade spirit item?" Su Han asked.

"Your treatment is the same as the family head’s, but you are surnamed Su." The old man shook his head.

Su Han frowned and then laughed.

"Fine, I’m surnamed Su, I won’t take anything from your Xiao Family."

With that, Su Han turned and walked out of the warehouse.

He had originally planned to take these materials to refine pills, and the pills he refined would naturally be given to the Xiao Family, after all, they were refined using the Xiao Family’s materials.

But what he didn’t expect was that the people of the Xiao Family were so arrogant, their noses almost in the air, and they didn’t even consider him.

"Hey, you’re back in the Xiao Family’s warehouse again?"

At that moment, the familiar taunting voice sounded again.

Lian Yuzhe led a group of people, blocking Su Han’s path, and looked at the old guard, saying: "Who allowed you to open the door for him? Who allowed him to take the Xiao Family’s spirit items?"

The old guard shook his head: "He didn’t take anything."

"Didn’t take anything? Then why come here? Could it be that he’s planning to scout the place and steal some when the moon is dark and the wind is high?" Lian Yuzhe sneered.

"Ha ha ha, Lord Lian is right. I think that’s exactly what he’s planning!"

"Indeed, the Su Family has never had so many spirit items. To say he doesn’t have evil intentions, I don’t believe it!"

"A rat is a rat, wherever it goes, it’s chased away. Expelled from the Su Family, now he wants to steal spirit items from our Xiao Family?"

The group behind Lian Yuzhe also chimed in, insulting and cursing.

"To be honest, I’m not in a good mood right now, so…"

Su Han raised his head, staring at Lian Yuzhe and the others, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"You’d better get lost!"
