Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 33 Enduring Pain with Boldness
The person who came was alone and looked very young; he couldn't be much older than Lin Xiufeng.

He was dressed in dark green, had a buzz cut, and exuded a sunny disposition. He was handsome and about 1.82 meters tall.

The person was carrying a small bag, similar to a kindergarten backpack.

Lin Xiufeng recalled the five Heavenly Warriors he had met earlier; their backpacks were all small.

On the contrary, I haven't seen many Tianwu Po with such small backs.

'Could he be a Celestial Warrior...?'

Lin Xiufeng was secretly worried, wondering if the Azure Armadillo King could escape.

Having just received Yin Jie's instruction, Zhao Youyue was wary of strangers.

Lin Xiufeng said in a low voice, "Calm down. As Heavenly Warriors, there's no reason for two of us to be afraid of one of them."

Zhao Youyue immediately calmed down and silently sized up the newcomer.

Lin Xiufeng greeted him in a relaxed tone:
"There's soup and meat; it's fate that we met. Why not come over and have a couple of sips?"

"Then I'm not welcome!"

The man readily agreed and quickened his pace to come over.

Lin Xiufeng noticed that when the person moved, his feet were enveloped in silver light, similar to the situation with the silver sword, making him seem more like a Heavenly Warrior.

After the man came over, he sat down next to the pot and said with a smile:
"Qin Yong, the eleventh team of the Tianwu Group's Dream Continent, thank you both for your hospitality."

"Lin Xiufeng".

"Zhao Youyue".

After exchanging names, Qin Yong unceremoniously took out the combination bowl, unfolded it, ladled out some soup, took a sip, and exclaimed how delicious it was.

"Cut the meat yourself, don't be shy."

Lin Xiufeng pondered that if this person was from the Tianwu Group, according to his second brother's words, he would not usually do things like robbery.

Of course, the premise is that you can't reveal the huge amount of snacks in your bag.

Otherwise, if we kill them in this desolate wilderness, who would know?
Qin Yong pulled out his knife, sliced ​​the food without ceremony, cooked it, and ate it with gusto.

But after only a few bites, he suddenly ate slower and slower, and when he finally swallowed, he asked with a puzzled look:
"Is this wolf meat?"

Zhao Youyue was secretly alarmed, fearing that the other party had malicious intentions.

Lin Xiufeng smiled easily and said:

"So you've eaten this before!"

"I ate there once last year," Qin Yong said, looking around.

Zhao Youyue's heart tightened, suspecting he had malicious intentions, but she had to remain calm.

If they reveal their weakness and the other party discovers that they are Tianwu Po, it will only encourage the other party's malice.

"What are you looking for?"

Lin Xiufeng asked him directly.

"How many bones of the hyena are left?"

Qin Yong didn't answer but asked a question instead. Finally, he suddenly noticed the bones in the soup, paused, and showed an incredulous expression.

"Besides what's in the pot, there's quite a bit more."

Lin Xiufeng made no attempt to hide his wealth, believing that if he wasn't afraid to flaunt it, the other party would be even less likely to believe that they possessed the strength of the Heavenly Martial Soul.

"You two are so extravagant!"

Qin Yong was shocked, then smiled wryly:
"Even if wolf bones aren't suitable for you two, using them to make soup is still far too extravagant!"

"If you want to eat it, it's okay to waste a little."

Zhao Youyue casually replied, but dared not say more, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Clearly, wolf bones have great uses and shouldn't normally be used to make soup.

They just don't understand!

Lin Xiufeng said with a smile:
"Today is our anniversary, so we should splurge on her if she likes it. It seems Brother Qin Yong really needs wolf bones?"

"I've been here for ten days looking for the hyena, but it seems you've hunted it all down. If you two have any extra, could you exchange them for four hundred catties?"

Qin Yong spoke in a pleading tone, as if asking for help.

Lin Xiufeng pretended to hesitate before smiling and agreeing.

"Since we have extras, tell me, how do you want to exchange them?"

"I wonder what your majors are. I have some Beast Bone Powder that I can exchange with you."

Judging from Qin Yong's tone, they must be things of similar value and function, but with different effects.

Lin Xiufeng figured that even a Heavenly Warrior couldn't possibly know everything recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so he humbly asked for guidance:

"We have not heard of the effects of animal bone powder. Please enlighten us."

Qin Yong was not surprised at all, and quickly waved his hand, saying:
"I dare not presume to offer my guidance! The Bo Beast roams the mountain ranges to the north of the Dream Continent; it has not yet been discovered here."

"Broken animal bone powder is beneficial for repairing the Yongquan, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Taichong, and Kunlun acupoints. Its effects are comprehensive, and it can be used by any school of body training."

"If you are a school that focuses on movement techniques, then the Beast Bone Powder is perfect. If it is not suitable for you two, I can offer a little more in exchange."

"Next month is my master's birthday in the Heavenly Martial Clan, and wolf bone powder is most suitable for his cultivation. I would appreciate your help, thank you!"

Lin Xiufeng deduced that this person wasn't trying to deceive him. If Qin Yong could tell they were Tianwu Po, there would be no need for him to cheat.

If Qin Yong didn't see it, how could he be sure that a severely unequal exchange could fool them?

The most reasonable speculation is that Qin Yong assumed that the wolf hunted for them must have been made from wolf bones, which would be the perfect powder for their cultivation needs.

Therefore, the bone powder is obviously not a perfect match, and to exchange it, one must naturally pay more.

Lin Xiufeng said in a very casual tone:

“If you need it and I have enough, of course we can exchange it. As for paying more, just add whatever you like. The wolf bones are over there, they haven’t been cleaned yet, you can take four hundred catties yourself.”

"I'll take it myself?" Qin Yong was a little stunned. This was a sign of trust!

If he takes even a little more than he should, he's just getting a free advantage.

Qin Yong was naturally surprised that the two people thought so highly of each other when they first met.

But then I thought, they were all so extravagant as to make soup and drink it, so it's not surprising that they were so generous.

"What's there to worry about with the people of the Heavenly Martial Clan? Besides, I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. You have an upright air about you and are definitely not the kind of person who would be greedy for small gains."

"Since you trust me so much, I won't waste any more time! I spent a lot of time looking for the wolves, and now that I've changed my bones, I have to rush back. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I'll be the one to entertain you!"

After saying that, Qin Yong finished the soup in his bowl.

Zhao Youyue advised, "There's no rush. It's not too late to eat and drink your fill."

“My master is very good to me, so I want to be the first to offer him bone powder.”

As Qin Yong spoke, he took out several jars of varying lengths and thicknesses from his bag.

"I'll pour it for you."

Zhao Youyue was hesitant to speak, fearing she might say the wrong thing.

I originally thought it was bone meal of equal weight, and I was wondering why Qin Yong's bag couldn't hold two hundred pounds of bone meal.

I didn't expect it to be so small; I suspect it was processed.

But they didn't understand, and they couldn't ask.

Lin Xiufeng examined the thin tube of the pen holder and suggested:

"This looks pretty good. Why don't you take more bones and give them to me in exchange?"

Qin Yong thought it was a good idea and immediately handed it over, saying:

"This is the standard fifty grams. I'm taking four hundred and eighty catties of wolf bones. The missing twenty catties will be added to the titanium container. Consider it extra!"

Lin Xiufeng took it, but didn't open it to check. He played with it with it and said with great interest:
"Take the bones yourself."

Qin Yong went to the side forest and saw the separated flesh and bones of the wolf. He took the bones, but no matter how he changed them, the lightest weight was 489 jin. He could only find the right weight by breaking the bones.

"It's not easy to gather 480 jin; you'd have to break bones."

"Just take the extra pounds, why bother with breaking bones!"

Lin Xiufeng answered readily.

Qin Yong then tied up the bones without ceremony, took his leave, and said:

"There's plenty of time in the future. When you go to the northern part of the Dream Continent, remember to look for me, Qin Yong!"

"I'll definitely be bothered!"

After Lin Xiufeng agreed, Qin Yong said goodbye and seemed to have left.

Zhao Youyue said in a worried whisper:
"What if they took them all?"

“I pretended to be easygoing, and you can play the bad cop who goes to check on him if you’re worried. If he’s really taking more than he should, he’ll just run away and won’t do anything.”

Lin Xiufeng estimated that it wouldn't happen, his confidence stemming from his second brother's definition of how the Tianwu Group operated.

Although the second brother didn't know much about the Heavenly Martial Clan of Dream Continent, he wasn't actually very confident.

"You pretend to be all agreeable, while I have to play the bad cop!"

Zhao Youyue was not happy. She was much more generous than Lin Xiufeng, who was a petty and vindictive person!

He was the stingiest man she had ever met!
The kind of kick that you have to kick back!

"Do you want to pretend? Are we supposed to go get the bone? The light under his feet moves away so fast, we can't do that, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"

"I know!" Zhao Youyue had of course thought of it, so she was unwilling to be looked down upon by Lin Xiufeng.

She even knew that Lin Xiufeng's way of speaking to Qin Yong wasn't their usual style; it was just that they were intentionally trying to be similar in style to appear compatible.

"You know, why aren't you going to go see it? What if he's still there packing up bags like crazy?"

Lin Xiufeng was getting a little anxious. If Zhao Youyue didn't cooperate, he would have to go and check on her.

"I'm the bad cop! I'm the bad cop!"

Zhao Youyue got up and went over, looked back and said:
"Qin Yong is quite reliable; he didn't take more than his share."

Lin Xiufeng finally felt relieved, and then stared blankly at the soup in the pot.

Zhao Youyue asked him, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"If we fish it out now, can we still make bone meal?"

Zhao Youyue rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to say anything.
