After the Third Prince offered some words of comfort, he bid farewell and departed.
Boarding the carriage, the coachman quickly drove Qin Xuan to the residence the Third Prince had prepared for him.
Outside the vermilion gate, a dozen or so maids and the steward had been waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the carriage approach, everyone immediately came forward to greet him.
Qin Xuan alighted from the carriage, and everyone bowed in unison.
"Alright, no need for such formality."
He looked up at the plaque above the mansion's entrance, seeing the two large characters for "Qin Family Mansion" written on it, and Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
The Third Prince certainly knew how to conduct himself; he had even arranged for the plaque to be changed in such a short time.
"Young Master, your room has been prepared for you. Would you like to bathe and change first, or have them come serve you?"
Two grey-haired stewards hurried forward to bow to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"I'll bathe and change first, but there's no need for them to serve me."
This place would eventually be handed over to the Qin Family, and these maids and stewards could then be assigned to the shops, so there wasn't too much to worry about.
After bathing and changing, Qin Xuan arranged some matters for them, explaining in advance that Qin Family members would be coming here later. After everything was set, Qin Xuan dismissed them, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, briefly explained the situation, and sent it to Qin Yuan.
"With these deeds and shops, Grandpa can bring people here and directly take over those shops."
With these shops, the rise of the Qin Family was just around the corner.
"Quick, let's look at the gains from this time, and also the Wu Feng Sword. The Wu Feng Sword seems to be quite heavily damaged this time!"
Han Ye said with some urgency.
The Wu Feng Sword was already a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, yet it was still damaged, so naturally, a way had to be found to repair it.
"And that Low Grade Magic Treasure. Don't tell me this Yu Jingzi, though only a snake demon, actually possesses such good things."
After killing Yu Jingzi, Qin Xuan immediately collected the round shield Magic Treasure.
Setting aside everything else, that round shield Magic Treasure was indeed excellent.
When closed, it was a round shield; when unfolded, it could split into dozens of top-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Spiritual Blades.
This point was extremely impressive.
"It can attack and defend. Although it's only a Low Grade Magic Treasure, it's more powerful than ordinary Magic Treasures."
The gap between a Spiritual Artifact and a Magic Treasure was not just a little bit.
Such a good item, capable of both offense and defense, would certainly be worth a lot.
Taking out the round shield, Qin Xuan carefully erased the Mental Energy imprint on it, then he repeatedly checked it several times before stopping, confirming there were no other issues.
"It seems there's only Yu Jingzi's imprint on this thing, so there's no need to worry too much."
Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After erasing Yu Jingzi's imprint, he had been worried that there might be imprints left by other people on it.
Now it seemed there was no need to worry about that; the other people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain had not left any other imprints.
"This way, I now have two Low Grade Magic Treasures."
After imprinting his own mark on it, Qin Xuan satisfactorily put away the round shield.
Then he took out the Wu Feng Sword.
Looking at the damage on the Wu Feng Sword, Qin Xuan truly felt a pang of heartache.
The cracks on the Wu Feng Sword were somewhat shocking, and Qin Xuan himself found them a bit hard to accept.
"It seems I have to throw it into the Refining God Cauldron and refine it again. If I continue to use it like this, this sword will break!"
Qin Xuan pondered, then threw the Wu Feng Sword into the Refining God Cauldron.
"You can add the snake demon's fangs and essence blood, and also that long spear. That's also a High Grade Spiritual Artifact. It's a good opportunity to directly upgrade the Wu Feng Sword to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact while repairing it!"
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.
"Good, that's a great idea. Upgrading the Wu Feng Sword would indeed be more convenient."
He added the ice-blue long spear, the fangs, and the essence blood into the Refining God Cauldron and began refining them along with the Wu Feng Sword.
After a while, the Wu Feng Sword had turned ice-blue.
In the center of the ice-blue sword body were two black and red marks.
These marks were formed by the snake demon's essence blood.
Although the sword body was still heavy, its sharpness had become extremely keen; it could no longer be considered the Wu Feng Sword.
"Can this sword still be called the Wu Feng Sword from now on?"
Han Ye asked Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan thought for a moment, then smiled.
"Since it's already the Wu Feng Sword, then let's continue to call it the Wu Feng Sword. As for whether it has a sharp edge or not, it doesn't really matter."
After all, it had been called that for so long, so there was no need to change its name.
Han Ye naturally wouldn't say much more about this matter.
"Bring that thing out. That Zen Staff has a lot of corpse Qi on it. I wonder how that Qin Feng got his hands on it."
Han Ye was very curious about what exactly was going on with that claw.
After defeating Qin Feng, Qin Xuan had used Spiritual Qi to collect all of Qin Feng's claw and fragments. Therefore, at this moment, Qin Xuan naturally held the fragments of that item.
He took out the fragments of the black claw, which were still intermittently emitting corpse Qi.
Fortunately, the Taihuang Aura nearby was blocking it, so this corpse Qi could not cause severe effects on Qin Xuan.
Even so, Qin Xuan was still extremely careful with the corpse Qi.
"So, can you identify what this is?"
Qin Xuan asked Han Ye.
Han Ye looked for a long time, then shook his head slightly.
"I can't tell. I can only determine that this is definitely the remains of a Spirit Beast from some ancient era, and judging from Qin Feng's absorption, he had been absorbing these Spirit Beast remains for quite some time."
"Only then would his arm bone develop in the direction of a beast claw. However, he probably hadn't had time to fully absorb the essence of the beast claw, which is why half of his arm bone hadn't completely transformed into a beast's."
Qin Xuan nodded.
Although he was a bit disappointed that he couldn't identify what kind of Spirit Beast this item was, he considered it normal.
After all, such ancient artifacts were difficult to discern.
"In any case, this Qin Family is not simple. You must be careful."
Han Ye knew more or less about the grievances between Qin Xuan and the Kyoto Qin Family.
Now, seeing that this Qin Family was involved in some messy affairs behind the scenes, he was somewhat worried about Qin Xuan.
However, Qin Xuan had a calm expression and was not overly worried.
"Boom!"
Since he had made his judgment, Qin Xuan directly threw the item into the Refining God Cauldron to burn it away.
Then he took out the Bi Yun Bell and upgraded it.
As for the Medium Grade defensive armor, Qin Xuan did not upgrade it further.
"What use can this snake demon's inverse scale have?"
He could use both the snake gall and the snake core to improve his strength.
However, he truly wasn't sure how to use this inverse scale.
"This can be used for Artifact Refining. When refining weapons, you can use this to improve their quality. It's a pity this snake demon hasn't transformed into a Flood Dragon yet; the quality of this inverse scale isn't high enough. If we could capture a Flood Dragon, the effect would certainly be excellent."
Han Ye said with some regret.
The quality of a Flood Dragon's inverse scale was extraordinary; it would be great if they could obtain a Flood Dragon's inverse scale.
"If it really were a Flood Dragon, that temporarily made Thunder Fire Pearl wouldn't have been able to kill it."
The Thunder Fire Pearl that killed the snake demon at the time was only something Qin Xuan had made on the fly.
Qin Xuan had not directly used the more powerful Thunder Fire Pearl.
