Chapter 625: Chapter 624: The Gentleman and the Girl in the Purple Dress Chapter 625: Chapter 624: The Gentleman and the Girl in the Purple Dress With that punch, space around it shattered completely, and verdant blood spurted meters high.

The ground beneath them cracked like a spider web, fissures spreading out in all directions.

Jiang Changsheng followed the sound and saw that the Green Jiao was lying on the ground, its flesh blurred and mangled, its armored-like head drenched in fresh blood, with skin and flesh ripped open.

“Brother Master, this is a Melting Heaven Realm Monster Beast,” Jiang Changsheng said, his heart pounding with fear.

“Isn’t it already dead?” Xu Zimei said thoughtfully.

“Changsheng, you still have much to learn!”
“Brother Master, you’ve always hidden your true capabilities,” Jiang Changsheng said, staring blankly at Xu Zimei.

“Didn’t you say yourself not to judge things by their appearances?” Xu Zimei slightly shook his head.

He said, “Lend me your sword.”
He took Jiang Changsheng’s longsword and began to slice into the Green Jiao’s body.

The Post Wisdom Bone, also known as the Wisdom Bone, was located at the back of the Green Jiao’s head and was arguably the most valuable bone in its body.

“Brother Master, the blood of a Melting Heaven Realm Monster Beast is a treasure, don’t let it go to waste,” Jiang Changsheng hurriedly collected it on the side.

“If you want it, take it,” Xu Zimei said.

Just as he was removing the Wisdom Bone, he heard footsteps approaching from not too far away.

Xu Zimei slightly furrowed his brows; this area around Qingyue Pool was seldom visited, and it was rare for anyone to pass by.

Unless they were like him, specifically targeting this Green Jiao.

He looked up and saw two figures slowly approaching from a distance.

Only when they came closer could Xu Zimei clearly see the newcomers.

It was a middle-aged man and a young girl.

The middle-aged man wore a grey-white robe, his black hair streaked with white, giving him a particularly refined appearance.

His hair meticulously styled on top of his head, he looked quite young and wore a silver longsword at his waist.

Meanwhile, the young girl appeared to be about the same age as Xu Zimei.

She wore a blue dress, graceful in demeanor, her slender waist accentuated by a blue silk belt.

Her long hair, slightly curly, cascaded from her left shoulder, held together by a pink ribbon, reminiscent of a delicate lady from Jiangnan, shrouded in mist and rain.

“Master, someone has beaten us to it,” the girl in the blue dress said, frowning slightly at the sight of Xu Zimei.

“It’s all right,” the refined middle-aged man said with a shake of his head and a smile.

“Who are you?” Jiang Changsheng asked warily, eyeing the two figures.

“We’ve come for the Green Jiao, but now that it’s dead, perhaps we could make a trade?” the refined man asked with a smile.

“What kind of trade?” Xu Zimei spoke up.

“We would like the Green Jiao’s tendons.

You may state your terms,” the refined man replied.

“Not for sale.

I lack for nothing, and what I do need, you certainly won’t have,” Xu Zimei said flatly, rejecting the offer without a second thought.

“Master,” the girl in the blue dress frowned slightly, then took an umbrella from her Storage Ring.

Looking at Xu Zimei and Jiang Changsheng, she said evenly, “This is a weapon of Venerable rank, the Infinite Umbrella, capable of both attack and defense states, and more than sufficient for your use.”
She could tell that Jiang Changsheng was not even a Vein Practitioner of Venerable rank, and Xu Zimei didn’t have a trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuation on him.

So, subconsciously, she thought it impossible for the Green Jiao to have been slain by them; perhaps a stronger passerby had dispatched it, and they were simply scavenging what remained.

“This is of no use to me; I won’t trade,” Xu Zimei shook his head, continuing to meticulously strip tendons and bones, processing the Green Jiao’s carcass.

The refined gentleman smiled and, with a “clang,” unsheathed the longsword hanging at his waist.

The hum of the sword carried a brilliant streak of light through the air, and immediately afterward, the longsword stabbed into the ground in front of Xu Zimei.

“The body of the Green Jiao is tough, your sword won’t do.

Use mine instead,” the refined gentleman suggested with an amiable smile.

Xu Zimei didn’t stand on ceremony, pulling out the longsword and starting to use it right away.

This sharp sword cut through iron as if it were mud, and in almost the blink of an eye, it had sliced open the body of the Green Jiao.

Xu Zimei swiftly pulled out the Post Wisdom Bone, and then in quick succession extracted the Jiao Dragon’s gallbladder and sinews as well.

Only the body remained, and Jiang Changsheng, looking pained, sliced off the meat, commenting on how nourishing the flesh of the Green Jiao was.

Xu Zimei returned the longsword to the refined gentleman, tossing the piece of dragon sinew to him as well.

“An eye for an eye,” Xu Zimei said, and then he and Jiang Changsheng left.

“He really is a strange one,” the lady in the blue dress remarked, wrinkling her nose in surprise as she watched the two leaving.

“Interesting,” the refined gentleman said, looking at the dragon sinew in his hand, shaking his head with a chuckle, “He is indeed an intriguing man.”

“Senior brother, with this kind of strength, why have you been hiding all this time?” On the way back, Jiang Changsheng eventually couldn’t help himself and asked out of curiosity.

“Don’t you understand the principle of not revealing one’s wealth?” Xu Zimei looked back and asked.

“Oh, then our triumph at the Nine Skies grand event is a sure thing with this,” Jiang Changsheng said excitedly.

“Set your sights farther; what is a Nine Skies grand event?

Even the Nine Skies Sacred Sect doesn’t catch my eye,” Xu Zimei said indifferently.

“You should avoid making such remarks, senior brother.

The Nine Skies Sacred Sect is home to a Saint.

A Saint should not be provoked,” Jiang Changsheng glanced around and hurriedly advised.

Xu Zimei just smiled and shook his head, offering no further explanation.

They returned to Huohuang City with the Post Wisdom Bone.

Huohuang City was already the largest and most prosperous city in the area.

Now, because of an auction, it seemed even busier.

Anyone with a bit of power would come here to try their luck, hoping that the auction might have something of interest to them.

Xu Zimei and his companion headed straight for the store known as Eternal Ancient’s number one.

At that time, there were also a group of customers inside, a total of five people.

Two of them appeared to be servants by their dress, one was a middle-aged man, and the other two seemed to be his son and daughter.

“Daddy, there are so many treasures here,” the young woman said with some astonishment.

“Of course, claiming to be number one in Eternal Ancient, they must have something to show for it,” the middle-aged man said with a smile and a nod of his head.

Xu Zimei walked straight into the store and placed the Post Wisdom Bone on the counter, saying, “Calculate the mission contribution value.”
“One hundred points,” the puppet man said, handing a bronze token to Xu Zimei.

“Just exchange it directly for the Heavenly Demon Bow,” Xu Zimei waved his hand, not taking the token, and said outright.

The puppet man waved his hand and the transparent display case in front opened automatically, with the Heavenly Demon Bow rising from within.

Upon the bow, an overwhelming Demonic Qi surged, and at the moment of its unveiling, one seemed to hear the ancient whispers of demonic chants.

The Demonic Qi on the bow struggled, transforming into a series of fierce and monstrous faces.
