East Meet West

186- Other Gains

[Mass Release: 7 out of 8]

“Look”

Just as June finished speaking, she saw Armelia pointing at the barrier which has suddenly vanished.

“Aunt June let’s quickly enter the passage and find Orochi. He might be in trouble.”

Armelia shouted worriedly.

“You wait here, I will go and try to find him.”

June gritted her teeth and decided to go into the passage to find Orochi, as she knew if she doesn’t take the initiative to do so, then her niece will enter the passage and risk her life. So, to prevent that, she ordered Armelia to wait outside while she tried to find Orochi.

But as soon as she moved, she could hear low sounds of steps from the passage. And the next second, a figure dashed out of the passage and almost ran into the wall due to his huge momentum.

When June and Armelia looked at the figure that suddenly appeared out of the passage, relieved and happy expressions appeared on both their faces.

The figure who suddenly appeared was none other than Orochi.

Currently, his situation was quite embarrassing as his clothes and face were covered with dust and his hair was disheveled.

Some areas of his clothes were torn.

“Are you alright? You are not hurt, are you?”

Armelia quickly asked him in a worried tone.

Orochi shook his head and dispelled Armelia’s worry.

“What happened inside? Why did the cave shake so much?”

June asked.

“After receiving the inheritance, I got out. But as soon as I stepped out of the gates, the whole cave started shaking. I think that senior must have set a trap that gets activated after one exits the hall.”

“And unfortunately, a small pond filled with Stalactite milk got buried due to this.”

Orochi sighed with regret when he remembered that an empty pond got buried and the Stalactite milk producing area also got destroyed.

“What? There was a stalactite milk pond inside the passage?”

June asked and her voice contained some shock.

“Yeah, but luckily I managed to fill few bottles of Stalactite milk before exiting.”

“Here Aunt June, take these 12 Bottles of Stalactite milk and bring these back to the Lamia tribe.”

Orochi took out 12 jade bottles from the storage ring, which contained Stalactite milk, and passed them to June.

June looked at the 12 bottles and her eyebrows were raised. But she did not take them, instead said,

“I think you should keep these for yourself as it can quickly increase your cultivation.”

Orochi shook his head and replied,

“No, I already have 20 more bottles of Stalactite milk and they should be more than enough for Armelia and me. And luckily, those two guys, Ethan and Jashan carried few dozen bottles of pills, so I had to empty the bottles and fill them with Stalactite milk.”

Hearing this reply, June finally nodded and accepted the 12 bottles of Stalactite milk.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Orochi’s face.

He had bought these bottles that looked similar to the bottles that are used to store pills, from the shop and prepared a batch of 35 bottles.

Although, he could keep all the stalactite milk for himself, but he decided to exchange few bottles of stalactite milk to show some goodwill to the Lamia tribe and to get some positive marks from June. And he only gave her 12 bottles and lied about having still another 20 bottles of stalactite milk, as it would be suspicious when someone finds out how can Orochi have more than 400 bottles with him and even if he pushed them on the dead Ethan’s group, it would still be suspicious.

“Did you get the inheritance? How did it go?”

Armelia asked from the side.

Hearing this question, June also looked at Orochi as she too wanted to hear his answer.

Orochi chuckled and replied,

“Yes, I successfully received the two inheritances.”

After that Orochi described what the inheritances were and described few dialogue exchanges between him and Bindu Katan, about the conditions and showed them the Jade crystal. He told them about the ‘Martial Art symbol inheritance’ and about the ‘Martial Art symbol tattoo’.

And when they heard about it, their faces were filled with shock.

Finally, in the end, he sighed and said with a tone filled with regret,

“Unfortunately, I cannot pass the inheritance to others until I fulfill at least one condition.”

“Don’t worry about it. This is something you got, and you can make your own decision about whom to share it with.”

June said from the side.

Armelia also nodded.

Suddenly, June asked,

“So, are you able to activate the ‘Martial Art tattoo’?”

Orochi shook his head and replied,

“No, to activate this Martial Art symbol tattoo, I must at least step into the Transformation realm, and even then, my body will suffer damage if I activate the tattoo if my body is not strong enough.”

Hearing this June nodded her head and said,

“Don’t worry, the Stalactite milk has the properties of making one’s body stronger. And in the first place, your body is so strong that it is enough to rival a Human stage cultivator, so when you step into the Transformation realm, your strength should drastically increase.”

Hearing this both Armelia and Orochi agreed to what she said.

Then suddenly Orochi asked,

“Did you guys obtain anything good from the things left in this room? According to the senior, she has left all the things like fighting techniques, cultivation methods, and weapons that she carried before her death.”

Hearing this June softy sighed, and she replied,

“This little girl was so worried that she could not calm herself after you entered the passage and as the barrier stopped us from entering, she has been constantly pestering me. So, because of her, I had been watching the barrier constantly, so if any change happens, we could immediately act.”

Her usual cold tone subsided a little when she spoke.

When Orochi heard this, he burst into laughter and rubbed Armelia’s head.

As for Armelia, a slight blush appeared on her face.

Then Orochi told them to gather everything in the hall as things here are extremely useful to them.

Finally, after few minutes, the room was completely cleaned and other than few broken tables and the words written on the wall, the things in the room were practically picked away by the group.

Then they gathered to check their loot... I mean gains.

So, in the end, the result or the list of their gains was,

9 Weapons - 6 Red Grade, 3 Orange Grade, and 1 Yellow grade of various levels. In this group of weapons, most of them were swords and the rest were 2 spears.

Orochi took two weapons for himself, one orange grade sword and the only yellow grade spear. And the remaining was left for Armelia and June.

Armelia and June did not object to Orochi’s actions as everyone was family. And he needed weapons to defend himself. Armelia certainly would not object to Orochi. As for June, although orange and yellow grade weapons are rare and important for the Lamia tribe, it doesn’t mean that she has to take all of them back to the tribe. And in the first place, it was due to the couple encountering Ethan’s group that they were able to find all these.
