Hu Qi lowered his head and glanced at the saber in his hand. The once sharp, even blade was now pitted and battered, clearly no longer usable.
This saber had only been forged from ordinary steel, so ending up in this state was within expectations.
He had previously seen weapons forged from higher-strength alloys on Zhu Xi's exchange list. When he returned this time, he could see whether he could find a way to exchange for one.
With that thought in mind,
Hu Qi took out his phone from his pocket. After a moment's thought, he dialed a number directly.
Beep, beep...
After only two brief rings, the call was answered.
"Hello, Zhu Xi employee number 1076 at your service! Mr. Hu Qi, how may I help you?" A cool female voice came through the phone.
"I accepted the mission at Peaceful Rest Cemetery in the outskirts of Anshan City. The mission is now complete, but an accident occurred during it. My teammate was attacked and died..."
Hu Qi briefly recounted what had happened.
"Understood. We'll dispatch Cleaners immediately. Please keep your phone available."
The woman's voice turned serious as well.
After hanging up, Hu Qi felt around in his pocket and discovered that the bottle containing the woman's blood had shattered in the recent fight.

Chen Fan's blood was darker than the woman's, but unfortunately, too much time had passed, and he only managed to collect less than half a bottle of black blood from the man.
After sealing the bottle, he casually buried it outside the cemetery before walking back in.
Hu Qi then sat down to rest on
