Before turning around and leaving, like the moment entailed long qin remember something important and tries to scam his father one last time. "Father listen I need some things from you before I leave, it should t be to hard on you right 'clan leader.'"
Giving his father a really vague list telling him to gather precious and coveted wood, blood of apex creatures, strong but rare metals and lastly scarce hollow gems. Hollow gems are something Long Qin learned about recently it was one of the things he saw in the family assets book, but a few of these gems had a page to themselves so you can tell how rare it is.
Long Qin had a sneaking suspicion that these hollow gems where the same type or if not similar to the one on the grimoire. As for what they can do long qin had a few ideas but he would first need to breakthrough to zombie grunt as soon as possible because with every passing minute he could feel his body becoming stiffer.
Going from the long clan to Siwang Shan wasn't going to be easy in the darkness of night the nocturnal hunters pray on anything, they deem weak and humans are for sure one. So what Long Qin came up with a crude plan. He sneaked out of the Long Zhang's room and sneaked out of the main courtyard.
Rushing to the stables near the front gate. Long Qin jumps behind a bush and knocks out one of the clan guards. Quickly stripping him, long Qin takes his outfit and impersonates one of the guards.
Going back to the main clan building long Qin goes up the the guard protecting the front door. Giving him a bow long Qin says that he has a urgent message for the clan leader. Being a good guard he asked to see the message. "I have been working for the long clan for three years now and your the first one who has asked me to see the clan leader this late, but if it's urgent I'll go with you. The clan leader gets really temperamental at night."
Bowing to the guard again long Qin tells him "please" And let's him lead the way. Before leading the guard bows back and flashes a smile.
Walking up to the clan leaders door the guard makes his presence known. "Clan leader long Zhang, I and this guard have a urgent message for you please open the door!"
Long Qin nodded as the guard said that. Even though he doesn't know who he is he still put himself in a bad situation. Now they are both in the same boat. thinking to himself 'I don't know if that was smart or really stupid.'
Opening the door long Zhang saw that it was his son again and sighed in relief. He really didn't want another weird situation happening the same night.
After catching his bearings Long Zhang said "no need to bow guard." While looking at long Qin. "I already know of the situation here's the materials that are needed for the mission. You may go now."
Before he left long Qin looked at the coin pouch sized bag in his hand and though long Zhang was pulling a joke. "Clan leader this..."
Looking knowingly long Zhang slapped hisself on the forehead and said "ah.. this is a spacial ring can hold up to one hundred cubic kilometers. All you have to do is drip a drop of blood or use some Qi or magical energy."
Understanding long Qin asked for the guards blade and cuts open the tip of his finger. Dark dim red blood could be seen oozing out of the cut. Long Qin dropped his blood onto the bag and something amazing happened once his blood touched the bag. He could see a space filled with all sorts of precious Items.
There was so much rare wood here that he could build a temples it of it but still have enough left to build at least one hundred coffins And that's just the wood. The metal was three times the amount of the wood. And finally the hollow gems were pulled up so high that they made a medium sized mountain of there own.
looking at how dusty they are, it looks like the long clan hasn't found a use for them yet and dropped off their whole stock onto me. Smiling long Qin took it and left the clan building walking with the guard to the stables long Qin told him he was going to borrow a horse.
Thinking nothing of it the guard walked with long Qin and helped him pick out a good horse, grabbing a sturdy saddle and putting it on the horse the guard says "I really envy you guys who do missions for the clan, you can gain merits and go up in the clan. While I'm stuck here guarding the front door."
Shaking his head at this long Qin says "I really envy you who has to guard the front door and not stuck on deaths edge everyday doing clan missions." When the guard finished getting the horse ready long Qin looked at him and saw a conflicted face.
While hopping onto the back of the horse long Qin says "I wish all the luck hopefully one one these days we meet again." Riding for another hour long Qin gets to the unnamed forest near the village. Ridding I'm long Qin B-lines it for Siwang Shan.
Rushing there maybe because of pure luck or something else entirely long Qin got to Siwang Shan in around fifteen minutes without much trouble. Looking up at the imposing mountain long Qin felt right at home, like this is where he belonged all along. The atmosphere here was just right, it felt nice and cozy for him.
Climbing up the road that was built long Qin reached the graveyard, long Qin was met by a great big metal fence and a towering gate. Being the now owner of this place he was given the key to this gate by long Zhang.
Looking forward long Qin saw something, That made him shake his head; because of the superstitions of the people in the village, everyone who died would be left out in their coffins for seven days and seven nights before they are buried.
