Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1385 - 1387: Blue Trench Coat

"What’s wrong, Elder Yu?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Elder Yu with a peculiar expression and asked.

"Nothing." Elder Yu shook his head, casting aside the thoughts in his mind.

No matter the process, the result is already destined!

So, don’t bother worrying about it anymore!

"If there’s nothing, then forget it." Lu Xiaobu didn’t bother to delve into it. He then continued, "Did you notice? The box seems to have gotten smaller?"

Elder Yu looked in the direction Lu Xiaobu pointed!

Indeed, the wooden box seemed smaller.

"Could it be, the mist that was generated wasn’t endless? Could it be consuming these things?" Elder Yu speculated.

Lu Xiaobu: "But, aside from the box, nothing else has gotten smaller, right? I don’t think that’s the case!"

Elder Yu: "What are your thoughts?"

Lu Xiaobu: "Could it be because of this Wood Attribute Spiritual Item, I’m calling them Five Elements Spiritual Items for now! The Wood Attribute Spiritual Item isn’t complete, so it’s imperfect, resulting in some wear!"

Elder Yu: "You’re suggesting that to achieve a perfect state, it’s best to use the ancient tree you revived?"

Lu Xiaobu: "No, I actually think it should be the ancient tree before I revived it! Using the now revived ancient tree might cause trouble!"

Elder Yu: "So what should we do now?"

Lu Xiaobu: "For now, let’s proceed in this manner. On one hand, start researching this Spiritual Energy, and on the other, try to find ways to purchase some of the original branches of the ancient tree from Medicine King Valley. I remember they exploded them back then!"

Elder Yu: "Would it be better for us to make the purchase?"

Lu Xiaobu: "It would be better if you handled it. My current status is sensitive, and once I make a move, others will surely suspect we’ve cracked the secret. Let’s give it some time!"

Elder Yu: "Alright! I’ll follow your lead!"

After saying this, Elder Yu paused for a moment and continued, "By the way, why don’t you become an official? Really, I feel like I’m becoming your subordinate!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "You don’t have to listen to me."

Elder Yu shook his head repeatedly: "I’m not senile yet! I’m just saying you could have a better position! It would be more convenient!"

Lu Xiaobu: "Forget it, being the Crownless King is quite nice."

Elder Yu: "Farewell!"

Damn it, I just suggested becoming an official, yet you directly crowned yourself the Crownless King?!

...

Elder Yu left, but Lu Xiaobu felt a bit of a headache.

Did any of you notice?

His plan was ruined!

He originally thought the Five Elements Spiritual Items would be useless once used, and he could integrate them into his big bed!

But!

You all saw the outcome!

The Five Elements Spiritual Items couldn’t be integrated for now.

"Damn it! Forget it!" Lu Xiaobu gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, "I’ll hold off on breaking through for now! Let’s leave it at that!"

He couldn’t hold back anymore, and if this continued, the little patience he had left would vanish completely!

So, no breakthrough, just forge in full state!

Thinking about this, Lu Xiaobu looked into the system space at the piggy bank.

"Start forging weapons!" Lu Xiaobu pressed confirm.

Piggy Bank: "Please input ten billion squandering amount."

A gold-devouring monster, yet again!

Lu Xiaobu pressed confirm!

Piggy Bank: "New energy detected, would you like to extract and add it?!"

"New energy? Is it the Spiritual Energy I absorbed earlier?" Lu Xiaobu pondered for a moment and clicked confirm.

Indeed, as he thought, the so-called new energy was the Spiritual Energy he had absorbed earlier.

Well, he hadn’t had the chance to research the uses of this Spiritual Energy, yet the piggy bank absorbed it!

"This forge will take 72 hours, please be patient."

The piggy bank provided its final message.

"It still takes time to forge, oh well." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

...

And just as Lu Xiaobu had gathered the Five Elements Spiritual Items not long ago.

A man appeared at Shimen.

This person looked to be in their forties, but his eyes gave off the impression of having seen through life.

He wore a long blue coat that stood out remarkably!

But the most attention-grabbing was the katana at his waist!

In the weapon-controlled Heavenly Dynasty, it was like a beacon in the night, drawing unavoidable attention!

Yet every time a policeman wanted to approach him for questioning, they would lose sight of him in the blink of an eye.

As if, it was all just a dream.

The man in the blue coat walked through Shimen.

When he reached a small alley, he stopped, furrowing his brow as if pondering something.

Just then, three gang members appeared at both ends of the alley.

"Hey, old man, haven’t seen you around, carrying a katana? You’re Japanese, right?"

The gang leader stroked his hair, walked with a defiant gait, eyes glinting with greed as he approached.

He was one of Zhang Benhu’s men; they especially liked dealing with foreigners!

Because, when they checked the identity of outsiders and something seemed off, there’d be rewards!

Plus, if they gained any benefits during the checks, Zhang Benhu wouldn’t care.

To them, foreigners were like fat sheep ready for slaughter!

What? Do you ask if they’re afraid?!

Don’t make me laugh!

There are six of them, each armed! Even if the other carries a real knife, beating him up would cause no fear of this little Japanese!

But his words seemed like they hadn’t even reached the man in the blue coat.

The man in the coat murmured to himself, "I distinctly felt a strange sensation just now, how did it suddenly vanish?"

This man had felt the energy presence when the Five Elements converged.

Though faint, this man indeed sensed it!

Clearly, this man was not ordinary either!

But the gang leader didn’t know this. Seeing the little foreigner ignoring him, he promptly flew into a rage:

"Damn it! Do you freaking know where you are?! This is Shimen! Young Master Bu’s place! It’s the territory of the Young Master who gave you Japanese a huge loss!"

"And now, you, a little foreigner, still dare to act arrogantly with me?! Pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if you didn’t hear me?!"

"Brothers! Forget everything else! Beat him up first then talk! Attack!"

With the gang leader’s order, including him, the six gang members lifted weapons and charged forward!

Their demeanor was ferocious and aggressive, somewhat intimidating indeed.

Yet the man in the blue coat seemed unaware, still contemplating his own matters.

At this moment the weapons were about to reach his head!

Bloodshed seemed inevitable!

Suddenly.

"Sigh..."

A long, drawn-out sigh came from the man in the blue coat.

Then he simply took a step forward.

Somehow, he effortlessly walked out from the encirclement of six people.

"Click."

The sound of a blade entering its sheath rang out.

After that, the man in the blue coat continued stepping away.

A gust of wind blew, causing the blue coat to flutter loudly.

As for the six gang members, they were blown apart by the wind!

Looking closely, one would notice the katana had two faintly carved characters on its handle––Da He!
