When Du Shaofu heard what Zhen Qingchun said, he hesitated for a moment before he bit on his index finger, and dripped blood on the pouches. He had heard somewhere that some spiritual tools and Universal Storage Pouch needed blood to recognize its master. In an instant, the storage pouches opened, and Du Shaofu poured everything inside out.
“This is material from a Xiantian level beast.”
“This is Xiantian level beast’s blood essence.”
“Really have elixirs and martial skills, lots of xuanbi too.”
“That woman’s storage pouch contained the least, but all the stuff is of high quality; this martial skill is probably of ‘Dong level’.”
Valuable items piled up, it made Du Shaofu bloom in a brilliant smile. From the White Panther Hunting Group's Big Chief, Skinny Tiger’s storage pouch contained many wicked beast materials, blood essence, elixirs and also a Xiantian level martial skill. In short, most of the White Panther Hunting Group’s wealth was kept inside.
There’s not much inside the tangerine-red dress girl’s storage pouch, apart from a few women’s clothing, rogues and powder, what surprised Du Shaofu the most was the number of high-grade dans inside, and a huge amount of xuanbi too.
He also found a Dong level martial skill inside, coupled with the high-grade dans and xuanbi, it was probably worth more than Skinny Tiger’s storage pouch.
Seeing the satisfied smile on Du Shaofu’s face, Zhen Qingchun couldn’t resist and commented spitefully, “Just a bunch of garbage could make you this happy, what a bumpkin.”
“Take something valuable out if you’re so capable.” Du Shaofu tilted his head and looked at Zhen Qingchun, then continued to reorganize the items to be put into his storage pouch.
“You…”
Zhen Qingchun was choked by Du Shaofu’s retort, suppressing the anger in his heart he said to Du Shaofu, “Brat, I have proven that I’m a Spirit Talisman Master, and is absolutely not a swindler. How about we make a deal?”
Du Shaofu looked up and asked, “You might be a Spirit Talisman Master, and the reason you want to make a deal with me is because you want my xuanqi, right? If it is that, I would advise you to forget about it, anyone who dares to prey on my xuanqi, I will fight them to death.”
“Ugh….”
Once again, Zhen Qingchun was dumbstruck, this brat and him were not on the same wavelength. He inhaled deeply, and a smile appeared on his wretched-looking face, he tried again, “Brat, don’t be afraid. I’m not asking for all of your xuanqi, I just need a teeny bit every time and absolutely won’t cause you harm in any way. When my spirit body is stronger, I can leave this little tower and think of a way to heal myself.”
Du Shaofu rolled his eyes at Zhen Qingchun. He sneered, but kept silent and continued to play with his trophies, thinking of how to change it into xuanbi.
“Brat, don’t you want to get stronger? I can turn you into a super strong expert that could conquer continents.”
Zhen Qingchun persevered and continued to tempt Du Shaofu, in his point of view, no one could resist temptations. How could this snot-nosed kid resist it, you have a weakness as long as you are human. “Do you want wealth, beauties, status, and power?”
“If you are so capable, how did you end up like this, did you think that I would believe you?”
Du Shaofu finally finished organizing the two storage pouches, stood up and threw a question at Zhen Qingchun.
“This…”
He almost choked to death with this question, and his face flushed a deep red. He wanted to vent, he wanted to abuse this ungrateful brat, but in his present condition, he was simply unable to do so.
“Brat, do you want to become a Spirit Talisman Master?”
Getting over his depression, Zhen Qingchun threw the last bait out. He was very sure, that no matter who, when faced with this question, they surely will be tempted. A Spirit Talisman Master is a career that everyone yearns for.
“You want to be repelled with a virgin boy’s urine!”
But the result, once again exceeded his imagination, Du Shaofu basically had no reactions towards those three words - Spirit Talisman Master. All he received was an angry glare.
On the contrary, Du Shaofu dearly wished to become a Spirit Talisman Master. The fact is, it’s not that Du Shaofu didn’t know the exalted status of a Spirit Talisman Master in the continent, he even heard that a Spirit Talisman Master’s strength is way scarier than those strong experts.
However, after he was determined as a martial waste, having broken veins, the Du Clan had also tested his physical constitution, he was disappointed once again because he also had no potential as a Spirit Talisman Master.
Thus, when Zhen Qingchun asked if he wanted to be a Spirit Talisman Master, he had no idea at all. Since he had no potential, why should he muse about being a Spirit Talisman Master? Now that he has the Golden-winged Garuda’s exercise law.
“Brat, you really don’t want to become a Spirit Talisman Master?”
Zhen Qingchun felt like hitting his head against the wall, he would’ve never thought that this brat in front of him, would even be so nonchalant about becoming a Spirit Talisman Master, this wasn’t normal! Something must have gone wrong with his head.
“I was previously tested to have no potential as a Spirit Talisman Master, better save your saliva.”
Du Shaofu rolled his eyes at Zhen Qingchun. Du Shaofu had already made up his mind, he would not give in to Zhen Qingchun’s temptation, in the end, all he wanted was his xuanqi.
“Who said that you couldn't be a Spirit Talisman Master, which son of a b*stard said that!”
Zhen Qingchun started to curse passionately, saying “The one who tested you, was definitely a bastard.”
Du Shaofu eyes lit up secretly when he heard this. he Then said, “Does it mean that I have the potential to become a Spirit Talisman Master?”
“Not some common potential.” Zhen Qingchun raised his head, a light shone from his eyes as he stared intensely at Du Shaofu. “Do you know the prerequisite condition to become a Spirit Talisman Master?”
“Extraordinary spiritual force and a spirit root.” Du Shaofu answered. He had heard all of these when he was just little, not many people can become a warrior, and a Spirit Talisman Master is even rarer than warriors.
“That’s right; to become a Spirit Talisman Master, one needs an extraordinary spiritual force and a spirit root, both are indispensable. Your spirit root is poor, even worse than your martial pulse.” Zhen Qingchun said bluntly.
“You just said that I could become a Spirit Talisman Master.” Du Shaofu’s eyebrow rose.
“You know shit!” Finally, Zhen Qingchun had the opportunity to roll his eyes back at Du Shaofu. “Your spirit root is bad, but you have a strong spiritual force for your age that others can’t compare. I don’t know why your spiritual force is this strong, in all the people that I know, you are one of the top three.”
“I do have some excellent qualities, your eyesight is not bad.” Du Shaofu said, the corner of his lips curved into a smile, not the least bit shy. Then he asked, “What has this got to do with being a Spirit Talisman Master?”
Zhen Qingchun again rolled his eyes at Du Shaofu. “Of course it is related. Having a strong spiritual force is an inherent advantage because there's no other method to enhance it, whereas the spirit root could be enhanced through other ways. Moreover, the spirit root could be improved significantly.”
“As far as I know, a spirit root could not be enhanced.”
Du Shaofu wasn’t stupid - never eaten pork but it didn’t mean that he hadn't seen a pig – a spirit root is the same as a warrior’s martial pulse, there’s no method to enhance it. Even if one is lucky enough to swallow some elixir that could improve a martial pulse or spirit root, but it doesn't make much of a difference.
“Others can’t, but I can.”
Zhen Qingchun stared steadfastly at Du Shaofu, saying “As long as you listen to me, worship me as your Master, I can make you into a Spirit Talisman Master.”
“Worship you as a Master?”
Du Shaofu rolled his eyes at Zhen Qingchun for the third time and said, “You can look somewhere else for a disciple, I’m not interested. Biting more than I can chew, I don’t have that much energy, it is enough for me to be a warrior.”
Zhen Qingchun was shocked, bewildered, dumbstruck, and then he cursed at Du Shaofu. “You ungrateful brat, during my time, as long as I opened my mouth and said that I want to receive a disciple, how many Spirit Talisman Master would kowtow till their blood run down, begging to be under my tutelage?”
“I heard that there is a One Star Spirit Talisman Master, Two Stars, and so on. Eldest Uncle said that he had met a Five Star Spirit Talisman Master once, how many stars did you have?” Du Shaofu asked.
“It is inconvenient for me to tell you about my identity for the time being, you might not be able to focus on your practice if you knew, and it might bring some unnecessary troubles to you. But I can tell you, what Five Star Spirit Talisman Master, it's just like a fart in front of me during my peak.” Zhen Qingchun said, full of confidence.
The corner of Du Shaofu’s mouth twitched, watching Zhen Qingchun’s confident face. A Five Star Spirit Talisman is enough to make the Emperor of an Empire welcome them in person, but was only nothing more than a fart in Zhen Qingchun’s eyes. If this was leaked out, he would definitely be ridiculed and laughed at as a nutcase.
Looking at Zhen Qingchun’s young, wretched-looking face, Du Shaofu can’t seem to relate it to the face of a strong expert.
“Brat, are you going to be my disciple or not?’
The corner of Zhen Qingchun’s eyes was also twitching, he had never imagined that he would be reduced to begging a snot-nosed kid to become his disciple one day. Nowadays, is a Spirit Talisman Master no longer worth anything?
“No. Although I’m interested, I don’t trust you.” Du Shaofu rejected.
“Why you don’t trust me? I have already proven that I’m a Spirit Talisman Master!”
“Because your face is too wretched, just like a swindler.” Du Shaofu replied seriously.
Note:
Never eaten pork doesn’t mean he hasn’t seen a pig (idiom) – Maybe you haven’t seen a giraffe before, but you know that it is tall and have brown patches on its back.
