Chapter 234: Old Bo

"Ahem" Na Li Yang cleared his throat. For a moment, he felt like flying into Lu Zheng's spatial ring with the Heavenly Crystal Snow.

"If you are willing to part with a few more Heavenly Crystal Snowflakes, my Na Clan will reward you well"

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Then I will trouble you to see your inventory"

Na Li Yang led Lu Zheng into the room he had come from before returning with a triumphant smile.

Even so, Lu Zheng went on to add: "It is a pity. I am merely a lone martial practitioner who has to struggle for resources. If not, I am willing to trade more ice path cultivation materials to aid your Clan Head's revitalization"

Na Li Yang took a deep glance at Lu Zheng. As expected, windfalls were required to become wealthy overnight.

Na Li Yang understood the meaning behind Lu Zheng's words but did not reply. Instead, he had Na Yuxi lead the man on a tour around Na Village.

After Na Yuxi left with Lu Zheng, Na Li Yang made his way out of the hall to a place outside Na Village. The place was completely hidden underground that no one could find it.

The temperature in the underground place was very low that even though Na Li Yang had just entered, a layer of ice had formed on his clothes.

"Old Bo, I have more ice path cultivation materials" Na Li Yang said as he produced the Heaven Crystal Snowflakes.

The man Na Li Yang referred to as Old Bo only wore undergarments to cover what was below his waist. As for his torso, arms and feet, they were all exposed to the nail-biting temperature.

Old Bo's face which was filled with long flowing white hair was expressionless as he picked up a Heaven Crystal Snowflake. His pupils glistened as he appraised the cultivation material.

"Rank eight" Old Bo chuckled. "Is there anything new in the Clan?"

Na Li Yang was quick to reply as he gave him a detailed report of the Clan's current situation and Lu Zheng's visit.

"Merely a lone martial practitioner, huh?" Old Bo spoke slowly as he absorbed the ice Qi inside the Heaven Crystal Snowflake.

"He has many ice path cultivation materials and even rank ten Heaven Crystal Snow. He would surely be a great asset to the Clan"

Old Bo ruminated over Na Li Yang's words. "Yang Er, what is this person's cultivation base?"

"I'll be honest with you elder brother. I could not sense his cultivation" Na Li Yang said with an honest expression. "But there is one thing I am sure of, he is definitely not weaker than me"

"Good" Old Bo said after some thought.

"When you return to the Clan, make this person an external elder with loose restrictions. However, he must be there for the Clan in times of trouble. Na Clan will need as much battle strength it can muster before the three other clans wipe us out"

"I understand" Na Li Yang bowed and turned to leave. After taking some steps forward, he gazed at Old Bo again and said: "Be quick with your cultivation, your daughter misses you"

Old Bo remained indifferent but a warm light flickered in his pupils: "Yuxi…"

…..

Na Yuxi chatted with Lu Zheng as she took him around Na Village. The village wasn't too large so the tour did not take too long.

Na Yuxi was already leading Lu Zheng back to the hall where they met Na Li Yang when Lu Zheng stopped.

"Na Yuxi, you have been a good junior and in Western Plains where I come from, it is impolite not to gift people that show goodwill. Here, have this" Lu Zheng said as fire Essence condensed in his palms.

The fire Essence became a crimson jade that Lu Zheng gave Na Yuxi.

"This… no, I can't possibly accept this" Na Yuxi replied as she pushed his palms back to reject him. It wasn't that she was unwilling to accept a gift from Lu Zheng but this was too much.

She could sense the dense fire Qi within the crimson jade in Lu Zheng's palms. Even so, she could only comprehend a bare shred of the depth of the fire Qi inside the crimson jade.

A single drop of fire Essence from Lu Zheng was the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of Qi leaves that any Condensation realm martial practitioner could muster, much less the crimson jade Lu Zheng was gifting her.

"You should accept it. It is a good gift" Na Li Yang said after walking out of the hall.

Na Yuxi was already tempted by the crimson jade and after getting confirmation from her uncle, she was unable to resist.

"Then I won't be polite" Na Yuxi said before snatching the crimson jade from Lu Zheng's grasp. Even after collecting it from Lu Zheng, her eyes were glued to it as if afraid it would sprout wings and fly away.

"Yuxi, you can leave now. The board of elders want to have a meeting with Lu Zheng" Na Li Yang said after noticing Na Yuxi's plight.

Na Yuxi felt like a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders. With a fierce nod, Na Yuxi fled to her house.

Na Li Yang watched Na Yuxi's receding figure and muttered: "Youth"

He could relate with Na Yuxi, after all, when presented with a great cultivation chance, who could resist?

In a way, Na Yuxi was like her father. They were cultivation maniacs.

"You wanted to see me" Lu Zheng broke the silence.

"Hmm, come with me please. The board of elders is waiting" Na Li Yang said.

"After you then" Lu Zheng smiled faintly.
