Chapter 491: Murder and Robbery Squad Assembled

Liu Chuchu picked up the seahorse’s storage ring before tossing it to An Lin. “You guys saved me in this battle, so you deserve the spoils of war as well.”

An Lin didn’t refuse. He immediately refined the storage ring to inspect its contents.

Tina also retrieved the seahorse’s silver spear. This was a high-rank spirit tool, which was a fantastic weapon. A sense of longing appeared in her eyes, but she still gave the spear to Artifact Spirit[a] as promised.

An Lin looked into the storage ring to find that there were no golden Realm Essence Crystals, to which he was a little disappointed. However, there were six white Realm Essence Crystals, which also just so happened to be the worst type.

He brought out the Realm Essence Crystals. When he tried to absorb the energy within by activating his cultivation method, he found that he could not do so.

It looked like he could only absorb golden Realm Essence Crystals…

An Lin shook his head and continued to rummage through the contents.

There were thirty-six vital stones, three spirit tools, five spirit pills, and a bunch of other crap.

Perhaps it was because he was too rich already, but he felt zero joy at rummaging through the storage ring of such a beggar.

“What is it? There’s no good stuff inside?” Liu Chuchu asked when she noticed An Lin’s disdainful expression.

“Nope. There aren’t even any immortal pills or immortal tools. What a poor b*stard!” An Lin sighed.

Liu Chuchu: “…”

Their concepts of wealth were far too different for them to converse on this topic.

An Lin stowed all these items into his own storage ring before bringing out a frosty longsword. The temperatures around them instantly dropped to below freezing upon the emergence of the sword.

“You did well, Tina. This is an elementary-rank immortal tool Heart Lotus Ice Sword. It’s quite suitable for you as it can change its size according to your will. Feel free to tell me if you need any other weapons too,” An Lin explained as he passed the longsword to Tina.

Tina stared blankly at the longsword in An Lin’s hand. “Giant An Lin, are… are you really giving this to me?”

She could feel that this was a weapon of an even higher rank than holy tools.

“Of course. It’s not doing anything in my storage ring anyway, so I might as well give it to you to improve your combat prowess. I didn’t have a chance to give it to you before as the battle erupted so suddenly, so I’m giving it to you now!” An Lin said while smiling at her.

Tina refined the immortal tool, and it immediately shrunk according to her will.

A bright blue lotus flower blossomed on the hilt of the sword, making it appear especially beautiful.

Tina was so happy; she couldn’t bear to let go of the sword. She charged toward An Lin excitedly before giving him another big hug.

Splat!

An Lin couldn’t really feel anything from her hug, but he still smiled with a doting expression.

Tina had risked her life to battle the sea monsters without hesitation at An Lin’s behest. This was enough for An Lin to treat her as a valued ally and friend.

Liu Chuchu’s lips twitched upon seeing this. Who casually hands out immortal tools like that?

“Do you have any plans, Mr. An Lin?” she asked after a momentary hesitation.

“I have to find the Huge Starry Mountain as well as more Realm Essence Crystals,” An Lin replied without hesitation.

Liu Chuchu offered with a slight smile, “How about we form a team?”

An Lin nodded. “As expected; I’m a man who gives everyone around me a strong sense of security!”

Liu Chuchu’s face convulsed slightly, but she decided to stroke An Lin’s ego. “My flaws were highlighted to me during this battle. I’m a skilled markswoman, but I fall under great danger whenever melee combat is involved. None of the representatives that were able to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm are weaklings, so I hope we can form a partnership where I will be the sniper, and you will be responsible for protecting me as well as dealing with melee combat. Together, we would forge the perfect team!”

An Lin nodded. “I understand. You’ll act as ADC, and I’ll be the meat shield.” ¹

Liu Chuchu: “Yeah… And we’ll split all the treasures we obtain from enemy storage rings equally among the three of us, what do you think?”

An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up. Tina’s share obviously belonged to him as well, so this was quite a good deal.

“A cultivator’s main pastimes are murder and robbery! I accept your proposal; we’ll be members of the same team from now on!” An Lin replied with a smile.

Liu Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief before extending a petite hand with a wide grin.

An Lin extended a hand of his own to give her a high five.

Tina didn’t understand what they were saying, so she continued to fiddle around with her newly-obtained Heart Lotus Ice Sword.

An Lin paused for a moment before tossing a Tai Chu Language 101 textbook to Tina. This was a book that was written by Da Bai when he taught the White Scale Wolf God the Tai Chu Language, and it was tailored especially for members of the Ancient Man Tribe.

Tina held the book that was several dozen times bigger than herself. With a confused expression on her tiny face, she asked, ” Giant An Lin, what… what is the meaning of this?”

“This is just some reading material for you. Everyone you’ll be encountering from now on speaks the Tai Chu Language, so you better read through this book carefully if you don’t want to look like an illiterate idiot!” An Lin explained in a friendly tone.

Tina: “…”

She carefully opened the book to find a series of familiar terms and characters next to unfamiliar ones. The unfamiliar terms were broken down into syllables with a definition on the side to facilitate pronunciation and interpretation.

Tina began to make a series of unfamiliar sounds as she tried to pronounce the terms in the book. Her top priority was to be able to speak the Tai Chu Language.

An Lin nodded with a content smile as Tina embarked on her Tai Chu Language journey.

Back in the day, he was able to master the Tai Chu Language just by imitating a dog’s barking. Hence, it was quite an enjoyable experience for him to see others struggle to master the Tai Chu Language.

The after-effect of using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld still hadn’t receded, so the three sat down to rest.

Liu Chuchu was quite short and petite, and she leaned against a giant rock and tucked her legs under herself. A white light began to glow from her hands, and she set about inspecting her pink longbow.

An Lin couldn’t detect the energy fluctuations of a spirit tool or immortal tool from her longbow. Instead, this was a special energy fluctuation that he had never felt before, thereby prompting him to inquire about the origins of the bow.

Liu Chuchu smiled after hearing his question, and she revealed the origins of her bow to An Lin without reservation. As it turned out, this longbow was something she had materialized with a small portion of her essential bloodline, thereby setting it apart from other weapons as it was a type of bloodline weapon.

An Lin was extremely impressed upon hearing this.

Bloodline weapons were an extremely unique type of weapon that he had only read about in books.

Only people with super powerful bloodlines could materialize a weapon like this, and even then, it would take a long time for the weapon to take shape.

The benefit of having such a weapon was that the user could fuse the power of their bloodline into the weapon to achieve maximal offensive power. On top of that, the weapon could move according to the wishes of its user, thereby enabling great flexibility and versatility.

However, its flaws were also quite apparent. The weapon was connected to the user’s bloodline, so any damage to the weapon would result in a backlash to its user, and sometimes, the damage would prove to be irreversible. This was why backlash weapons were extremely rare; no one wanted to expose their bloodline in the open for their enemies to attack.

Liu Chuchu was like a gaming character who had expended all her skill points on damage output! Not only was she extremely fragile herself, but even her weapon was also just as fragile! No wonder she was so eager to form an alliance with him…

Four hours later, An Lin and Liu Chuchu had both fully recovered.

“Let’s go!” An Lin waved his arm.

“Go!” Tina chimed in.

Liu Chuchu turned to Tina with a bewildered expression. “You can speak our language now, little fairy?”

Tina turned to Liu Chuchu. With a confused expression, she asked, “What kind of fairy would I be if I can’t even speak a language after applying myself and studying for four whole hours?”

Liu Chuchu: “…”

An Lin: “…”

It seemed like he had underestimated the learning ability of fairies. Were languages that easy to learn?

He was starting to feel a little distraught.
