Chapter 63: Moonsunk Gold
War God Fang! Li Maocai rushed forward and bowed to Fang Chen. Li Maocai pays respect to War God Fang!
You need not stand on ceremony, Boss Li. Take a seat. Fang Chen gestured to the chairs before taking the main seat. He turned to Fang Qingyao and asked, Miss Fang, how is the handover of the Compassion Halls coming along? Has someone followed up with you yet?
Fang Qingyao nodded with a look of wonderment. An official from the Bureau of Justice visited me to handle the handover. All of the capitals Compassion Hall is now under my name
She was impressed by how efficient the handover was. An official from the Bureau of Justice actually personally paid her a visit to expedite the process. There werent many people in the capital who possessed as much influence as this.
Thats good to hear. I can tell that Miss Fang has a compassionate heart. The vulnerable people living in the Compassion Halls are in good hands, Fang Chen said with a nod.
Rest assured, War God Fang! Our Striding Dragon Consortium will donate five thousand silver taels to each of the Compassion Halls every year! Li Maocai interjected.
Fang Chens eyes lit up. He clasped his fist at Li Maocai. Im heartened by Boss Lis generosity. Your donation will make it much easier for the Compassion Halls to help those in need.
Im just doing what I should. Li Maocai nodded. There was a brief pause before he added, War God Fang, I prepared some humble gifts, and I hope youd accept them. Think of it as a token of my appreciation.
Ill have to reject the gifts. I have turned down the gifts from the others too, Fang Chen replied with a nod. Just the thought is enough for me.
Li Maocai got agitated hearing that. He anxiously turned to Fang Qingyao.
Fang Qingyao revealed a helpless smile before turning to Fang Chen. War God Fang, Boss Li brought a rather unusual weapon here with him today. If you could just take a look at it
Indeed, indeed. The other gifts are nothingthose are just secular possessions unworthy of someone as outstanding as War God Fangbut you have to take a look at that weapon! One of the consortiums managers brought it back three years ago, and it is incredible! Li Maocai said.
A weapon?
That piqued Fang Chens interest. Huang Sihai, Xu Ge, and Tie Ma heard those words and exchanged curious gazes too.
No one in their right mind would offer a weapon to a clan of generals. The fact that Boss Li brought a weapon here meant that there had to be something special about it.
Allow me to take a look then, Fang Chen replied with a nod.
Li Maocai gestured to his servant outside. A carriage was slowly pushed into the courtyard, leaving a heavy trail that indicated it was carrying something extremely heavy.
What are you doing? Fang Cangyou arrived in his wheelchair.
Quite a few guards also approached with intrigued looks.
What is in that carriage for it to be that heavy? Did you stuff gold in there? Fang Cangyou asked in shock.
Everyone, on the carriage is the weapon one of our consortiums managers brought back three years ago. Whats special about it is its weight!
Weight?
Fang Chen pried open the carriages curtain, only to find that it was empty inside except for a truncheon. It was a common weapon in Great Xia, and Guhe and Yizhou often equipped their foot soldiers with such weapons too.
It was a four-edged, blunt weapon. What was unusual about this truncheon was its length.
Great Xias truncheons were about 1.3 meters long. Guhe and Yizhous people were shorter, so their truncheons were around 1.15 meters long. However, the truncheon inside the carriage was at least 2 meters long!
A truncheon?
The crowd gathered around, and they frowned upon seeing the weapon. A single truncheon was heavy enough to make the carriage leave such a heavy imprint on the ground?
War God Fang, this truncheon is no ordinary weapon. It looks normal, but its extraordinarily heavy. It took four late Ki Condensation cultivators to move the truncheon onto the carriage, and they exhausted themselves moving it here, Li Maocai said. I have invited Ki Explosion martial artists to try out the truncheon, but they couldnt even carry it. I have no doubt its capable of unleashing formidable prowess if someone is able to wield it.
It doesnt look that amazing though? Huang Sihai scoffed upon hearing how heavy the truncheon was.
Give it a try, Old Huang, Fang Chen said.
Sure thing. Look well, young master! Huang Sihai guffawed as he leaped onto the carriage and reached for the truncheon.
Meanwhile, Tie Ma, Xu Ge, and the Fang Manors guards craned their necks over to take a closer look. Fang Zhixue, Celestial Xiao, and Abbess Clearlotus also rushed over to join the commotion.
How did the three of them get together? Fang Chen glanced over.
What a beautiful abbess! This maid also looks beautiful. Oh? Isnt that War God Fangs younger sister, Fang Zhixue? Fang Qingyaos gaze alternated among the three of them.
Just then, Huang Sihai let out a roar and lifted the truncheon. The carriage couldnt withstand the weight and began shattering.
With a reddened face, Huang Sihai lifted up the truncheon and swung it twice.
Sss! Li Maocai gasped in awe. His servants were taken aback too. As expected of a Dragon General
They couldnt believe that Huang Sihai could actually lift this truncheon and even swing it.
How does it feel? Fang Chen asked.
Huang Sihais face was bright red. The moment he tried to open his mouth, his strength suddenly slipped from his body, causing him to loosen his grip. The truncheon fell onto the ground, and the crowd felt the crowd shaking a little.
Heh Xu Ge chuckled. Tie Ma smiled as well.
Not even Huang Sihai was able to handle this weapon, so the two of them didnt bother to give it a try either. How could they lift a weapon that even Huang Sihai struggled to swing? It was likely that only a Ki Manifestation martial artist could wield it.
War God Fang, youre a Ki Manifestation martial artist. You should be able to use it. Li Maocai clasped his fist at Fang Chen.
It is an extraordinary weapon. Boss Li, do you truly intend to gift it to me? Fang Chen asked.
Id rather give it to you than to let it rot in our Striding Dragon Consortium. Even worse, an enemy martial artist might steal it and use it against our people. I humbly beseech War God Fang to accept this gift. Itd be safer to leave it at the Fang Manor even if you dont use it. Li Maocai clasped his fist and bowed.
Celestial Xiao widened his eyes. This weapon was more formidable than she had expected. If it really fell in Fang Chens hands, itd likely be a huge threat to Greenpine.
This item Abbess Clearlotus looked at the truncheon with a tilted head. She sensed a surge of spirit ki on it. If she was not mistaken, this could be an artifact.
Tsk tsk, I would have expected to find something like this in Great Xia. Thats an artifact forged out of Moonsunk Gold! It has to have at least twelve daosoul imprints. Thats some good stuff you have there! a light-hearted voice echoed.
Unknowingly, a gray-robed daoist had appeared beside Abbess Clearlotus.
