Chapter 396: Chapter 275: Sponsorship_2

Only upon returning to the residence, he saw that the whole mansion was brightly lit, trunks after trunks stacked from the front yard all the way to the back. These were all aid sent by the four major noble families. It seemed they had been preparing for their stay in Sanyang City for a while, or else they wouldn’t have sent the items over immediately after the matter was settled.

The commotion, naturally, caught the attention of everyone in the mansion.

Not only Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Jin Dafu were startled, but Zhao Ge, as their master, also rushed over after hearing the news.

"Big senior brother has returned." The voice of Shou Hou rang out as he saw Li Yi returning to the mansion and hurriedly called out.

Soon.

In the brightly lit hall, Zhao Ge’s figure appeared instantly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, for he could tell from the items brought into the mansion that his disciple, Li Yi, must have dealt with the noble clans. He had already offended the Meng Family last time, and now it was uncertain whether this event was a blessing or a curse.

"Master, I pay my respects." Li Yi immediately bowed respectfully.

"It’s good that you’re back safe and sound." Zhao Ge smiled and sighed in relief: "What has happened today, that carriages from the noble families are continuously bringing gifts to our home?"

He hadn’t opened any of the trunks, so even he was in the dark about their content.

However, Zhao Ge sensed something unusual, and immediately brought several trusted disciples from Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall to oversee the situation, to prevent any accidents.

"Master, I have made a deal with the four major noble families; they are willing to support my cultivation from now on. These are just some of the items needed for cultivation that were sent over, but I cannot go into detail as the matter is of great importance," Li Yi said.

"If it’s of such importance, then as your teacher, I shouldn’t pry further," Zhao Ge had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.

Li Yi immediately said: "Master, you don’t need to worry, this is a good thing for us. With the vigorous support of the four major noble families, the future development of Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall will be worry-free. Moreover, I have obtained Sanyang City and the surrounding two hundred miles of land from the Fan Family, which will allow us to become a major noble clan in the future."

"The four major noble families wouldn’t support us without reason; they must have their own needs." Zhao Ge added: "Are you confident in dealing with this, Meng De?"

"What might be difficult for others, is naturally a breeze for me," Li Yi asserted.

"Then that’s good," Zhao Ge smiled again.

Seeing Li Yi so confident, he felt relieved, considering that it’s beneficial for a young person to have the ambition to strive; indeed, Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall was too small, but if they could really create a major noble clan, it would be an extraordinary achievement.

Following that, Li Yi opened the trunks to see what was inside.

The first few trunks contained books, and each book was not simple, representing the martial arts heritage of the four major families. They contained not only cultivation methods and secret techniques but also various martial arts techniques.

"The four major noble families even gave you these heritages?" Zhao Ge was shocked just by glancing at them, recognizing the Gang Refining Method.

"Knowledge is both priceless and cheap; it doesn’t cost the four major noble families much to give me their martial arts heritage. After all, they only need to replicate a copy," said Li Yi: "Master, see if there’s anything you need. You can take it to practice. The rest of the methods for Skin Training and Bone Training can also be organized for use in the instruction and recruitment of disciples at Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall."

"How many martial artists dream of getting their hands on these," Zhao Ge said, thumbing through each of the secret techniques, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

Back in the day, he went through so much hardship just for the Refining Points method. Now, there were at least a dozen Soul Entrance techniques here, and what’s more, there were piles of methods for training muscles and bones, nurturing Qi-Blood, so cheap they seemed to cost nothing.

No wonder the world’s heroes come from noble families.

With such an abundance of martial arts heritage, when would ordinary martial artists ever have their chance to shine?

"Zhou Tian Gang Qi, Hundred Refinement Gang Qi, Innate Fist Gang, and Ten Directions Gang Qi." Li Yi quickly found the four books he needed.

The Gang Refining Method of the four great clans.

This was what he desperately wanted.

After that, Li Yi opened chests one after another to search; these chests contained not only various rare treasures but also various Great Medicine Treasure Pills. Each chest represented a vast fortune, which, now revealed, caused Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Shou Hou to widen their eyes in awe.

They had seen elixirs before, but never in such large quantities within chests; they had witnessed treasures of mountains and seas but never dozens of chests filled with them.

A single item taken out at random could be an opportunity that a Blood Refining Realm martial artist could spend their life searching for but in this place, such items could be found everywhere and weren’t even considered particularly precious.

In Li Yi’s view, the most precious items sent by the four great clans this time were probably those four boxes of Life Extending Pills; each box represented a thousand years of life span, a true four thousand years of life span, something unimaginable to his master Zhao Ge and others, because ordinary martial artists couldn’t even come into contact with such things in their lifetime.

"Resurrection Pill."

After searching for a while, Li Yi eventually found a box of Resurrection Pills in an inconspicuous corner.

This elixir, which treats Divine Soul injuries, can also increase the strength of the soul and would help Li Yi improve his Cultivation Value.

The same pill that his master Zhao Ge had to go to Ghost Street to purchase Coffin Ganoderma to concoct, was merely stuffed into a corner here, even at risk of being overlooked if not sought earnestly.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something.

If the Resurrection Pill was considered inconspicuous here, then it implied that the four great clans possessed even better elixirs to increase the strength of the soul.

He searched again for a short while.

Soon, in a special chest, he found a precious elixir named Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill.

This was a great medicine prepared for Gang Refining Realm experts making their breakthrough to the Refining God Realm, extremely precious.

Even though the four great clans supported Li Yi, they only provided four of these pills.

"It seems that each of the four great clans is only willing to part with one, indicating just how rare this item is." Li Yi speculated as he looked at the purple Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pills.

Thinking this, he couldn’t wait to take some items and then hurried to the backyard.

"Master, I’m going to cultivate now; please take care of things here."

While everyone was still astonished by the items, Li Yi had already left.

"It seems Meng De has found his opportunity for a breakthrough," Zhao Ge thought to himself, but he calmly instructed, "All of you take the gift list, move the items one by one to the underground chamber, and categorize them properly. From today onwards, you will stay at Meng De’s mansion. This vast mansion requires our own people to oversee it, lest any leaks occur and bring disaster."

Everyone nodded hastily, not letting others interfere, and moved these invaluable treasures away themselves.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Zhao Ge called Shou Hou to stop, then opened a chest, took out a Gang Refining Method, and with a slightly embarrassed cough said, "Let your teacher take a look first. I’ll return it to Meng De later."
