"I promise!" Suolang nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll have the antiques brought out for you right now. Rest assured, this lowly one won't delay, nor would I dare."
Having escaped with his life, Suolang was perfectly willing to lose some wealth now.
Besides, if the power this young master had just displayed were used on him-he hastily ducked his head.
While arranging for people to bring over the antiques, Suolang invited Qu Zan into the fortified house.
Naturally, he cleared out the best room in his home and gave it to Qu Zan.
"You should have quite a few ancient objects picked up in the mountains, shouldn't you?" Qu Zan asked.
He knew that Xionglian Mountain held the tomb complexes of an ancient kingdom. An estate owner who enjoyed collecting, like this man, would naturally have gathered plenty.
"Yes, Master," Suolang said with a bow.
Qu Zan went straight into a room in Suolang's home, touching the objects and selecting them one by one.
Sure enough, Qu Zan soon saw a panel notification on a bronze flask.
[You have touched Fortune Essence. Absorb?]
Qu Zan then went on touching them one by one. He found a full seven ancient objects rich in Fortune Essence.
Naturally, he gladly accepted them all.
He soon finished touching every ancient object in Suolang's home.
"Move all of these into my fortified house." Aside from the seven he had selected, he chose another seven, all of which looked quite expensive.
Night had fallen, and Qu Zan stayed alone in the bedroom.
Qu Zan sat cross-legged on the bed and absorbed everything from the ancient objects he had selected, one by one.
