Ever since he started cultivating, Luo Chao has dreamed of having a flying sword, soaring through the skies and taking the enemy's head from a thousand miles away. Just thinking about it is thrilling.

Originally, he planned to wait until he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage to find some rare mineral treasures and try to forge one himself. Later, he realized how naive he was. Not to mention his novice level of success in making a flying sword, he didn't even know where to find the many precious materials. In this age of dwindling magic, such things are rare, and doing it alone is practically impossible.

He had almost given up hope when the Dragon Team handed him a huge surprise. There was a fully crafted flying sword in the warehouse.

He dashed over immediately, wanting to lift the glass cover. Eager to hold it and scrutinize it closely.

Tie Xiong grabbed him, "Hold on. If you rush in like that, I guarantee you'll end up in a bad way," Tie Xiong said, puffing his cheeks and glaring.

Luo Chao smiled sheepishly, a bit embarrassed, "Vice-Captain, I was just too excited. This thing is essential for every cultivator. Look at me, I'm the last cultivator after all, and I can't even equip the basic gear. You were the one who promoted me, so if this gets out, it doesn't look good for you, either."

Tie Xiong chuckled, quite pleased with Luo Chao's flattery. Happily, he said, "Stop sweet-talking me. Don't worry. When we confirmed your identity, I already decided to give this to you for self-defense. Others would have no use for it, and that's also the decision of the former captain."

Hearing him mention the former captain again, Luo Chao became puzzled. Based on Tie Xiong's words, he seemed to know Luo Chao very well. What was going on here?

As Tie Xiong removed the glass cover, Luo Chao immediately tossed all thoughts of the former captain aside. Salivating, he lunged and grabbed the flying sword.

"Green Forest," Luo Chao muttered, gazing at the two ancient seal characters on the blade, feeling ancient and bold, and loving it immediately.

He drew spiritual power from his Purple Mansion Dantian, slowly channeling it into the Green Forest Sword. The previously still sword underwent an incredible transformation in an instant. Its blade shimmered, as if something was flowing within.

Luo Chao tried to control it with his spiritual sense, but the sword remained unresponsive. After thinking for a moment, he slapped his forehead in sudden realization.

"Damn it. How could I be so stupid? This flying sword artifact needs to be refined before it can be controlled. Forcing it won't work at all," Luo Chao lamented, feeling itchy at the thought of possessing something good yet unable to use it for now. He wished he could find a place to refine the flying sword immediately.

He hugged the Green Forest Sword tightly to his chest, as if afraid someone might snatch it away, muttering incessantly, "It's mine, it's mine..."

Tie Xiong couldn't stand it anymore, looking at him like a teacher disdainfully watching a female student read an entire novel. "Look at you now. Can you have a little dignity? You're a captain. A mere sword seduces you like this. How can I trust you to lead a mission in the future?"

Luo Chao remained the same, saying, "Anyone can be captain; I just want my treasure." With that, he hugged the Green Forest Sword even tighter.

Tie Xiong rolled his eyes in exasperation, not knowing what to say to someone who treats power like dirt.

"Do you still want to see the spirit beast hide? If so, come with me quickly," Tie Xiong snorted angrily.

"Yes, yes. Of course, I do. Vice-Captain, why are you dawdling? Hurry up," Luo Chao took the lead, urging Tie Xiong to follow.

Really speechless, Tie Xiong opened his mouth helplessly, "This way."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go," Luo Chao said with no sign of embarrassment, casually walking toward the direction Tie Xiong pointed.

"..."

"How about this? Is this the spirit beast hide you need? There are a few more over there," Tie Xiong pointed to the creature in front of Luo Chao.

Today's surprises were too many for Luo Chao; he felt his little heart could hardly bear them. He staggered forward like an old man, touching the creature tenderly, as if talking to a lover, "My dear, I searched so hard for you."

Tie Xiong shivered, his massive body trembling slightly. His bushy beard quivered uncontrollably, really shocked by Luo Chao.

He couldn't understand Luo Chao's current feelings, not realizing that Luo Chao could be described as boiling with beast blood at this moment.

Luo Chao's drool flowed uncontrollably. He touched every part of the creature from head to toe, making one think he had some strange fetish.

Smacking his lips, he said, "It's huge, probably a few square meters. I wonder how many talismans it can make."

Tie Xiong couldn't bear it any longer, "I say, can you stop being disgusting and wipe the drool from your mouth first?"

"You don't understand; these things are going to be my treasures," Luo Chao gazed passionately at the model made from the hide of this cow-like creature.

"Looks like it can be used for talisman making, right?" Tie Xiong thought all his years' worth of benevolence were about to be spent; he never thought Luo Chao, who seemed sunny and handsome, was now showing such a greedy side. Could this be his true nature? How did I misjudge him! A misstep indeed.

"By the way, where are the others? Bring them to me quickly," Luo Chao remembered this, immediately asking Tie Xiong, his expression perfectly natural.

"You brat, just thinking about your spirit beast hide and not even calling me Vice-Captain anymore." Tie Xiong angrily gave him a flick on the head. This kid is defeating me in every way; can't you at least try to hide your intentions, otherwise, I'll really want to strangle you."

Luo Chao rubbed his sore head, laughing slyly, "Vice-Captain, don't get mad. It's just that I'm too excited," he said, licking his face as he got closer to Tie Xiong, patting his back and saying, "Calm down, calm down."

Tie Xiong couldn't be bothered with him and gestured with his lips to the side, "Over there, get them yourself if you want."

Luo Chao looked in the direction Tie Xiong indicated and was instantly stunned, staring blankly at several hides no less than the previous one. The only thought in his mind now was: I've struck it rich. Damn it, I've really struck it rich.

After parting ways with Tie Xiong, Luo Chao couldn't stop chuckling foolishly.

The gains this time were immense; the ancients who cultivated spoke of wealth, companions, teachings, and land. Wealth refers to treasures, flying swords, artifacts, and talismans in this category. The Dragon Team directly solved this problem for him, how could he not be happy?
