Chapter 71: I Hate This Bone!

The old drunkard couldn't say no to Xiang Shaoyun's request . He knew Xiang Shaoyun still wanted to grow without his protection, and he couldn't find an excuse to reject Xiang Shaoyun's request .

"Don't worry, old drunkard . I have gotten myself a King Realm expert to act as my temporary guard . Here, no ordinary person can harm me . Even this incident is merely an accident . In any case, I am a person of great fortune . I won't die that easily," Xiang Shaoyun said . He was trying to placate the old drunkard as he understood that the old drunkard was worried about him .

"Maybe I should go catch a few more of those tiny King Realm cultivators here . How is one enough to protect your precious self?" the old drunkard offered . If others heard these words, they would definitely be immeasurably shocked . The grand and magnificent King Realm had turned into a "tiny King Realm cultivator" in his mouth .

"No, we have to keep a low profile for now . Before you head over to my sister, leave some trails to mislead them . Perhaps that will buy me more time . " Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand .

The two further discussed for a bit before Xiang Shaoyun asked for two king weapons, two king armors, and some spirit stones . As for Wu Fuxiang who had been rendered unconscious by the sound wave attack, Xiang Shaoyun personally killed him . He also found out from the old drunkard that this Wu Fuxiang was the patriarch of the Wu Clan . Hence, from now on, the Wu Clan would officially be his enemy .  

The old drunkard wanted to exterminate the Wu Clan before leaving, but Xiang Shaoyun stopped him . Xiang Shaoyun wanted to personally exterminate the Wu Clan . It would be a waste to use the old drunkard against a mere Wu Clan anyway .

After he dealt with Wu Fuxiang, Xiang Shaoyun took the cauldron for himself . He also swept the hidden room clean . This room was in fact Wu Fuxiang's cultivation chamber . Quite a number of treasures had been hoarded here, such as some low-grade spirit stones, spirit medicines, and weapons .

"Huh? This is a lightning stone!" Xiang Shaoyun muttered in astonishment when he found a purple stone in the corner of the room while cleaning the room of its treasures . Apart from the color, the stone looked completely normal . But when he tried touching it, electrical sparks would appear around it, rendering even Transformation Realm experts to not dare to casually touch it .

This was a stone containing the power of lightning . It was considered a king-grade stone, a great material for forging king weapons . It was quite a waste that Wu Fuxiang had left a lightning stone so valuable to gather dust .  

"Young master, let me seal this lightning stone for you first . You will have a need for it in the future," the old drunkard offered .

"It's fine . I'll use it right now . " Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and reached out for the stone .

The old drunkard wanted to stop him, but after a slight hesitation, he decided to do nothing . The moment Xiang Shaoyun gripped the lightning stone, it started releasing electrical currents of terrifying might . But when the electrical currents touched his flesh, an absorption force appeared from the purple bone within him and directly pulled the electrical energy into his body .

"Hmm?"

Xiang Shaoyun frowned when that happened . The electrical energy was giving him a numb sensation yet it had not harmed him . Rather, he could feel his strength growing .

"Again!" Xiang Shaoyun muttered before he tightened his grip on the stone .

This time, he triggered even more electrical energy from the stone, causing bolts of electrical current to curl around his hand .

Pa! Pa!

This much electrical energy was sufficient to destroy everything, let alone mere flesh . But at this moment, something odd happened . Xiang Shaoyun's body seemed to have turned into a natural electrical gatherer as all the electrical energy was instantly absorbed into his body .

After all the electrical energy was absorbed, the lightning stone dimmed . The old drunkard bore witness to everything . His eyes were filled with astonishment . Even Xiang Shaoyun himself was confused .

"Has something within me awakened?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself .

"Y-young master, y-you might have awakened the lightning bone unique to the Xiang Clan!" the old drunkard cried out, his voice shivering .

"Xiang Clan's lightning bone? Yes, that's possible . " Xiang Shaoyun nodded .

When the old drunkard saw how indifferent Xiang Shaoyun was, he couldn't help but say, "Young master, are you not happy? Even sect master himself has lived a life of regret for not being able to awaken his lightning bone . Now that you have awakened yours, he would be gratified to find out!" 

"Should I even feel happy? My father is after all an abandoned child of that clan . I hate that clan, and I hate this bone!" Xiang Shaoyun said, fury covering his face .

"Ohh . . . young master, forget about them . In any case, awakening this lightning bone will be a great help in increasing your combat power . It will also make your future revenge much easier," the old drunkard said .

"Um," Xiang Shaoyun merely groaned in response . He then said, "Let's go . Bring all these things to my place, and you can leave after that . In about 8 or 10 years, we will return to the sect!"

"Yes, young master!" replied the old drunkard, a yearning look on his face . In the past, he felt that his young master was too young and innocent, wasting his talent away by refusing to cultivate . But now, he was looking at his young master in a completely new light .

Xiang Shaoyun and the old drunkard left the hidden room and arrived at the abandoned building .

"Meow!"

As soon as Xiang Shaoyun appeared, a cry rang out, and a white flash pounced on him . Little White then appeared in his arms . Xiang Shaoyun petted Little White and said, "Little guy, I've caused you to be anxious . "

Little White rubbed his head against Xiang Shaoyun's palm and licked the palm intimately, filling Xiang Shaoyun's heart with warmth .

"Here, you can have this stalk of old medicine," said Xiang Shaoyun as he fed Little White a stalk of old medicine . Little White did not bother holding back and immediately swallowed the old medicine .

"Meow!"

After swallowing the stalk, Little White meowed for more .

"Haha, you're such a glutton . Fine, you can eat your fill today!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed and proceeded to feed Little White a few more stalks of old medicine . Only after eating all of them was Little White satisfied .

The old drunkard said, "Young master, this striped tiger cub is most likely a king species, but it's not suited to be your mount, right?"

"It's fine . Since he is now with me, I will make him strong . A day will come when he is the strongest demonic tiger in existence!" Xiang Shaoyun declared confidently .

And when Little White heard Xiang Shaoyun's declaration, he howled to echo the same sentiment .

"Alright, let's go . It's time to repay them for this favor," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Thus, they headed back to the Martial Hall Palace . This time, the old drunkard with one hand carried Xiang Shaoyun, and they moved at an incredibly fast speed . An ordinary person couldn’t even see them . In the span of a few breaths, Xiang Shaoyun was already back at his residence .
