Jian Chen started flying in the air and approached the skull that was hugging the sword before taking out his sword.
When the sword was pulled from the sheath, a sword eye that had a golden color according to the sheath.
Zhou Yuan had only seen a golden-coloured sword like that, in just one look he had sensed that the heirloom Jian Chen held was the same high-level heirloom as the kusanagi sword.
Jian Chen smiled in satisfaction before sheathing his sword back and storing it into the space ring. Jian Chen then descended slowly approaching Zhou Yuan.
"Broker Jian, thank you for working with me, according to the agreement between us, you may take all these treasures."
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Are you sure, these gold coins are enough to finance a small town for a few years."
Jian Chen chuckled softly before rejecting him, Zhou Yuan could not persuade him any further so he sucked the mountain of gold coins into his spatial ring.
"Broker Yuan, there's something I gave you as well in return, just consider it a bonus for helping me to pierce this tomb..." Jian Chen then took out a leather pouch that was of medium size. "In it are many spirit stones, enough to make you break through to the next level."
Zhou Yuan received the leather pouch and opened the contents, looking at the many stones inside which were like diamonds but greenish in color.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, he did not know about the spirit stone in question not even know how to use it.
As if understanding what Zhou Yuan was thinking, Jian Chen then explained spirit stones were the purest resources a swordsman could use when training.
The efficacy of spirit stones was extremely high and could increase one's strength, the way to use them was the same as the way when absorbing stealth gems.
Zhou Yuan thanked Jian Chen even though he did not know the extent of the high efficacy in question. Zhou Yuan then kept it in the space ring.
Since the secret treasures in the tomb were only gold coins and swords, there was no reason for the two to remain in the tomb.
Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen started to turn around, on his way back Zhou Yuan had briefly asked Jian Chen.
"Broker Jian, what is your reason for collecting World Elemental Heirloom, isn't a single sword enough to use?"
Jian Chen who was walking beside Zhou Yuan then smiled faintly at the question.
"It may be true that in the end only one or two swords were used, the reason I collected these treasures was arguably because there was no bloodshed."
Zhou Yuan frowned, he did not expect Jian Chen's reason to be beyond his expectations.
"As I said, the World Elemental Heirloom sword is not an ordinary weapon but a high-level heirloom man has ever made, since the power buried in the heirloom was so great there would be many people who wanted it, this sword so the scramble could even lead to war."
Jian Chen sighed, "Now I have 7 swords among the other 27, besides the heirlooms in your hands there are still many heirlooms scattered everywhere."
From Jian Chen's story, the World Elemental Heirloom was still unknown to many people but some people who had known about the sword's prowess would have already tried to start looking for it like him.
If the sword was in the wrong hands it would probably cause many casualties, however the World Elemental Heirloom was not just any heirloom, in it was filled with mystical things.
"The example is the asura sword that I wield, this sword can feel a satisfying sensation of passion every time I kill, if this sword-wielding person didn't have a strong mentality maybe he would become a bloodthirsty man who killed anyone at will."
"I originally approached you out of fear that you could not keep the sword but after seeing your ability, you could at least keep the heirloom away from those who hunt the World's Elemental Heirloom."
"Does this mean I'm in danger too?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"If someone has a jade-like detection device that I'm holding, maybe they can figure out where you're wearing the heirloom, but I'm pretty sure your sword can't be found, let alone have a space ring to hide it..." Jian Chen nodded slowly and explained that Zhou Yuan had nothing to worry about.
Not feeling when they chatted, the two had already arrived towards the exit of the tomb.
Meily was waiting there and when she saw Jian Chen had already returned, the girl became happy and immediately hugged him.
"Sorry, you must have waited a long time here?" Jian Chen stroked Meily's cheeks gently.
"It's okay, the important thing is that you can return safely." Meily smiled sweetly then hugged Jian Chen tighter and slightly spoiled.
Jian Chen could only chuckle and let his little wife hug him for longer.
Meily was indeed told to stand guard inside the tomb to make sure no one had entered here as Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen were pouring in.
The bear at the entrance to the tomb was deliberately not killed so that the warriors think twice if they want to come here. Even if someone manages to escape the bear Meily will move and paralyze him.
When Zhou Yuan came out of the cave, it was already night time. You could say both of them almost all day in the tomb.
The bear guarding the tomb was surprised to see Zhou Yuan and the others emerge from within the tomb, before he attacked, the three of them had already first floated in the air making the bear unable to reach him.
"Do we let that bear demon stay there?" Zhou Yuan asked a glance at Jian Chen.
"While there is nothing inside but ancient tombs remain dangerous, especially their traps are still active, the bear can prevent anyone from entering into it."
The three continued to fly until they finally reached the top of the city, after tracing the tomb Zhou Yuan wanted to return his eater to rest but Jian Chen and Meily were not in fact so.
"Broker Yuan may tonight be a farewell, Mei'er and I will go in search of another heirloom sword so for the last time I thank you for your help before..." Jian Chen said his farewell followed by Meily who nodded softly at him.
"We both benefited Swordsman Jian, I also thank you." Zhou Yuan bowed his body.
Jian Chen nodded before then he bid farewell to the two. "Then I leave first, Swordsman Yuan, maybe next time we can meet again..."
After saying so Jian Chen and Meily then began to dart away from Zhou Yuan.
"My husband, what about Ziyun's current condition, is her pregnancy okay?" While leaving, Meily spoke to Jian Chen.
"As long as he eats a healthy and rests enough, Yun'er's content will be fine so you won't have to worry." Jian Chen stroked the girl's axe slowly.
"I hope so, I'd love to see a baby sister as soon as possible..." Meily put on a pouting face.
Jian Chen chuckled softly, out of his three wives, Meily was indeed the most spoiled as well as a little childish. The two then left the city, darting to a place further away.
