The dawn of the next day. The flying-ship finally arrived at the County City's Dragon Mountain Manor.
"I'll be returning to the Eternal Wind Academy today. Due to the explosion from before, I have gained some insights regarding my frost armour. Thus, when I return, I'll be spending a long time trying to further my understanding, and will not have the chance to come to the Azure River County for the time being." Jing Qiu had just sat onto a fiery-red bird before she unknowingly suddenly said those words.
"Eternal Wind Academy? I've never actually set foot on that place before. I'll definitely visit it when I've the time." Xue Ying freely commented.
"En."
Jing Qiu did not say anything else. The fiery-red bird began flying off with the green-robed mage on it, her hair fluttering about as she flew towards the distant skies.
She turned behind, giving one last look at the miniature-looking Dragon Mountain Manor from a distance, before resuming her journey southwards.
…
Xue Ying set off on his Snowstrider Horse out of the Dragon Mountain Manor, before coming to a shop in another part within the county. This shop specialised in mage equipment. Due to the rarity of mages in the world, customers were few and far in between.
"Neigh~~~"Xue Ying came down from his horse, passing its reins to a caretaker.
"Young master, this way please." Immediately, a female attendant came, inviting him in.
"Introduce me to all your frost-related heaven's grade mage equipment." Xue Ying said candidly. Though it appeared that the female attendant was looking at him strangely after hearing that … Introduce everything? This customer sure was rude… Was it a ruse or was this man really someone with power? Regardless, that female attendant still brought Xue Ying around, briefly describing all the equipment within the shop one by one.
"Frost Wristband, Heaven's grade! It has a small-scale frost domain matrix built within, and a strong attacking power comparable to a third of a Meteor mage's frost domain's power!" The female attendant was extremely familiar with the item. "With it, any ordinary mage will have the capability to display a 'small-scale frost domain'."
"Continue." Xue Ying immediately decided that this item was something he wanted as well.
"This wristband is a middle heaven's grade equipment. There's an array formation within that allows its wielder to have power rivalling the Turbulent Arrow spell cast by any mage within the heaven's rank."
Xue Ying was choosing as he mentally made a list of the items he wanted to buy.
There were spell matrices inscripted within the mage equipment. These matrices are fixed and stable. Any mage could simply instill their magic power into the matrix to activate it. This was extremely convenient for any mage! Of course, there exists a downside to this as the matrix inscripted could not be strengthened. In order to become a powerful mage, it would still be better for one to discover and understand more via research for the sake of coming up with even more powerful spell matrices.
As for battling a Legend ranker, with his control over the forces of nature, a Silver Moon mage would still be unable to display the spell within even with the activation of the matrices inscripted within the equipment.
Thus, to become strong independently without the aid of equipment was still crucial!
Of course…
The chances of meeting a Legend ranker was quite negligible. Furthermore, his brother was currently still an ordinary mage, thus the only spell matrix he could activate would be that of the heaven's grade mage equipment. As for Meteor rank mage equipment, he certainly won't be able to display its prowess.
"En. Not bad." After some careful screening, Xue Ying has decided. "This, this, this and that. That too, and this too. Please give me all of these."
The female attendant widened her eyes and opened her mouth widely.
What Xue Ying chose was actually all Heaven's grade mage equipment! And what was its significance? Usually, such equipment would rival about 30-40 percent of a Meteor mage's power, or that the equipment was considered to be of a more extraordinary kind.
"Please calculate how much do all these cost." Xue Ying instructed the attendant.
"Oh yes, please give me that staff as well, and this mage's robe." Xue Ying was buying a staff and robe for You Yue as well. The cost of the staff was much cheaper than everything else - it costs 2000 gold. After all, the sole purpose of a mage's staff was to allow them to cast their spells. In the hands of a novice mage, even the best staff in the world would be under-utilised.As for the mage's robe, it was actually a Heaven grade mage equipment and thus, was much more expensive - at 18,000 gold.
Xue Ying's relation with You Yue was quite good, thus giving her these items would suffice. After all, she was not as close to him as compared to Xue Ying's brother.
"This young master." At this moment, even the owner of the shop was being called over. He said, "These five Heaven grade equipments are more expensive. Rounding up, they cost a total of 200,000 gold! As for the staff and robe, that will add up to another 20,000 gold! Haha, I'll round up further to a total of 200,000 gold! How about that? I hope for this young master to come visit us more regularly in the future. I'll definitely give you even more discount. Within this Azure River County, I dare not say that my shop is the cheapest, but it is certainly one of the cheapest out there selling mage equipment!"
Within this entire county, how many people dared to freely spend 200,000 gold in one go!? It was just like that Bent Blade Gai Bin who pillaged for so many years in his life, before earning so much gold…
Only those with a rich background will dare to splurge so much in a single purchase. This kind of customer must definitely be treated well in order to maintain a good relationship with him.
"En." Xue Ying nodded.
"May I know who this young master is?" The shopkeeper asked softly.
"Dong Bo. You may call me Dong Bo." Xue Ying said.
"Young master Dong Bo, our Red-Moon Manor has many branches within the entire Tranquil Sun Province. This is a VIP token of our shop. With it, you can purchase any item from any of our branches with a 10% discount." The shopkeeper immediately took out a violet-gold plate that was crafted by a mage and gave it to Xue Ying.
The shopkeeper decided that the moment he got back home, he would definitely investigate carefully who exactly was this person within the entire Azure River County that could splurge 200,000 gold so freely.
…
After the purchase, Xue Ying once again went off in search of some refiner equipment, some clothes befitting a Silver Moon Knight for himself , and of course, some items for his two uncles. It was only after buying all these did Xue Ying finally set off to his homeland - Water Rites Town.
After two days of journey, he finally reached Snowrock Castle in the evening.
"Finally, I'm home."Xue Ying looked from a distance, the towering Snowrock Mountain and the castle situated right on top of its peak. He felt joy. He was finally home.
Clatter…
The horse ran at top speed, and within moments, he finally reached the castle grounds.
"Our Lord has returned!"
"Our Lord has returned! Quick, go and inform young master Qin Shi!"
The entire castle began buzzing with excitement. The drop-bridge started dropping down alongside the opening of the gates.
Zong Ling and Tong San came to the city gate entrance excitedly to welcome their Lord.
"Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong." Xue Ying said with a smile as he disembarked from his horse.
"Your journey back home must have been tiring. Qing Shi was currently still with his teacher. The servants have already gone to inform him about your return. I believe that Qing Shi and You Yue will be very excited." Zong Ling said happily.
Xue Ying nodded and started preparing his presents for them.
"Oh right, I've some news for you. Just before, a famous mage from the Si Clan, 'Si Chen' came to our castle." Zong Ling stated.
"Si Clan?" Xue Ying frowned. Was it because of the death of Si Bai Rong? But judging from reasoning, the Si Clan would not know who actually participated in the mission. The Dragon Mountain Manor would not tell them. Jing Qiu, too, said she would keep it a secret. Furthermore, she had long gone back to her academy.
"Just two days ago, this mage Si Chen came here in search of Great Mage Bai Yuan Zhi. Both of them are Meteor-rank mage. According to what I heard, both of them have some discoveries which required an exchange of information." Zong Ling said, "Xue Ying, you should know the status of the Si Clan within our Azure River County. I do not dare to slight them. Though it's good that you have returned. He has been studying at the Great Mage's building all this while. It's better that you visit him."
"En." Xue Ying nodded.
What a coincidence?
During the mission, he met the Si Clan's Si Bai Rong. Now, there was mage Si Chen in his castle. However, it was highly probable that these two matters were unrelated because he came here 2 days ago.
'It seems like I am fated to meet with the Si Clan…' Xue Ying silently thought to himself.
"Uncle Zong, please send someone to invite this young master of the Si Clan to dinner tomorrow." Xue Ying instructed.
Chapter 51: Ji Rong

That night within Snowrock Castle.
The long table was filled with a variety of dishes. Xue Ying was seated right at the head of the table, with Zong Ling and Tong San on his left and right respectively. Opposite him was his brother and his female friend, with You Yue beside on her other side.
"Brother, this is Ji Rong, one of teacher's disciples as well. She also lives within Water Rites Town." Qing Shi had a slight blush on his face, even though he still said it simply.
"Ji Rong? Haha…" Xue Ying laughed haughtily, "you can call me big brother like how Qing Shi does!"
"Ji Rong meets Xue Ying big brother." Ji Rong said crisply, her voice was soothing to the ear.
This Miss Ji Rong seemed to be quite young, as young as his little brother. She was not that tall, and can be considered petite. Although, with her beautiful eyes, she could also be called a beauty. Quite a fitting pair with his brother. Unknowingly… his little brother had already grown up from that small snotty child to having a girlfriend by his side.
Having said that, he himself had not even dated a girl before in his life! Even though he was quite close with You Yue, he was not in the mood to clarify his relationship with her as the matter of saving his parents was still looming overhead.
"Even though we're only meeting for the first time, I've prepared a little gift for you. Please accept it." Xue Ying said, while taking out a white crystal box.
"Go accept it!" Qing Shi encouraged his girlfriend.
Ji Rong walked towards Xue Ying, receiving the gift from him. "Thank you, big brother Xue Ying."
"Haha…" Xue Ying laughed happily. Although he was a little embarrassed of the lavish gifts he bought for his little brother, You Yue, Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong, he did not think of getting one for his little brother's girlfriend. After all, this was his first time meeting her, and thus, he momentarily forgot about her! It was only after knowing that his brother was bringing his girlfriend to dinner that he hurriedly prepared an appropriate gift for her.
Fortunately, the mission he partook this time was very rewarding. Within the storage treasure of that Demonic Emissary was a box of Jewelry which should have been obtained from somewhere on the emissary's journey. After calculating the net worth of all the jewelry within the box, the total value should amount to 10,000 gold. Thus, Xue Ying selected one of the beautiful jewelry from within, and enclosed it inside a beautiful crystal box before giving it to Ji Rong. It should approximately be worth a thousand gold.
Still, she was only his little brother's girlfriend, and not his fiancée. Thus, 1000 gold was considered to be the right value for her! After all, in some parts of the county, there are families who worked for an entire year only to earn a thousand gold.
"Brother, this time, you came back quite early."
"This time, I went to the County City to buy some gifts for you and You Yue." Xue Ying smiled at his words. "You Yue, this is for you."
After saying, Xue Ying took out a staff and a purple mage robe for her.
"Xue Ying big brother, this is for me?" You Yue hesitated after looking at the gifts. She could immediately discern that the staff was very valuable and the robe was extraordinary. "This staff is made of Wind Yin Wood, and is very precious. I…"
"Since I've already decided to give you, just accept it." Xue Ying nodded smilingly. That staff was only worth 2000 gold, whereas that robe worth 18,000 gold! Being a heaven's grade mage protective equipment, it would definitely cost a lot.
'If I let this little brat know that the robe is for a Heaven Mage, I doubt she will accept it.' Xue Ying chuckled.
"En." You Yue finally accepted the gifts.
Ji Rong, who was seated beside You Yue, looked at that staff and the mage. Her expression changed slightly.
"Brother, what about me? Didn't you say you bought something for me too?" Qing Shi could no longer remain patient after that.
"What's the hurry?" Xue Ying glanced at him. "Looking at you behaving like a monkey… I'll give it to you after dinner."
"You are doing this deliberately!" Qing Shi felt helpless after hearing that.
"Precisely. I'm deliberately doing this. Mages usually have patience, so take this as an opportunity to discipline yourself." Xue Ying lightly nodded.
"Oh." Qing Shi could only obediently listen to his brother's words.
…
Having finished dinner, You Yue retreated to her room within the castle. After all, there was already a small courtyard prepared for her to stay at.
As for Qing Shi, he brought his girlfriend back to the Great Mage's building.
"Ji Rong, what did brother give you?" Qing Shi and Ji Rong were walking side by side.
It was only now that Ji Rong finally opened that crystal box.
Within it was a necklace with an aquamarine gem. In the darkness, there was a faint green glow emitting from the aquamarine itself.
"A top-grade aquamarine necklace! I'm afraid this would cost at least a thousand gold…" Ji Rong was stunned. Being a mage, she would naturally know about the many materials and gems in the world.
"So valuable!?" Qing Shi was shocked. "My brother is generous, right?"
"Generous, indeed he is very generous!" Ji Rong kept her crystal box, thinking for a while before asking softly, "Dong Bo Qing Shi, do you know how much the staff that you brother gave You Yue is worth?"
"That staff? The one made of Wind Yin Wood? I guess it should be around 2000 gold!" Qing Shi replied casually, "You Yue has been with us for a long time! So I guess her relation with my big brother should be very good. For a long period of time, he did not give her a staff at all. Naturally, it is expected for him to give such a good staff to her for the first time."Hmph!" Ji Rong snorted, "I'm not talking about the staff. I'm talking about the robe! That mage robe he gave her!"
"Mage equipment?" Qing Shi stared at her, "Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?"
"Kong You Yue was seated beside me, so definitely, I saw everything. That robe is actually a mage's equipment! There is even a marking on top of it inscripted by Master Refiner 'Yan Wen'. The equipment refined by Master Refiner 'Yan Wen' are at the very least, Earth grade, with most of them being Heaven's grade!" Ji Rong coldly snorted.
"You sure you did not mistake it for something else ?" Qing Shi did not dare to believe.
"I am a mage, so how could I mistake it for something else?" Ji Rong had an inexplicable look on her face. "Great Refiner Yan Wen only refines Earth grade equipment at the very least. Thus, that robe would be worth at least 5000 gold or more. Adding the worth of that staff, the gift your brother gave Kong You Yue should be more than 10,000 gold! Dong Bo Qing Shi, you tell me, isn't your brother generous?"
Qing Shi grinned, "My brother and You Yue have always been very close to each other."
"You are be so single-minded." Ji Rong continued softly, "You and your brother are related by blood. You are also one of his successors! Can you stand watching your brother give all these precious gifts away?"Qing Shi stared blankly after hearing that.
"You are already 16 this year. I don't think you will want to depend on your brother for the rest of your life?" Ji Rong said. "Even between brothers, you must clearly settle the accounts!"
"Why are you saying this?" Qing Shi frowned somewhat angrily.
"I'm doing this for your own good." Ji Rong continued, "You should have seen a few years ago when my father worked day and night for the business, solely because he trusted my uncle too much! The money earned certainly belongs to the entire family. After a full 20 years of hard work by my father himself, the entire family's worth should solely belong to him! Guess what? In the end, my uncle betrayed him by kicking my father out of the family. My father did not get anything in the end, not even a small home for us to live in. We had to stay at our mother's side from then on."
"I'm saying all of these to tell you, even if you do not have the intent to harm anyone, you must have your defenses ready in case someone harms you!"
"I've long heard from you before how hard your brother trained, and that it was only because of the medicinal baths he took that your brother did not fall apart! Yet did you know how much does it costs for him to take medicinal baths every day for a year? 5000 gold! From 6 years old until 16, your brother have spent 10 whole years! This is 50,000 gold!" Ji Rong exclaimed, "Your parents bought the title of nobility, a territory and a large amount of Star Breaking Crossbow… and even prepared years of medicines for your brother to bathe in. Adding the armours, the castle and various spending, all of these total up close to a sum of 200,000 gold! This clearly shows that it was due to luck that your parents became wealthy overnight."
"You have been spending money wastefully in the past, and as for your brother, before he killed the Silver Moon Wolf King, he did not even take the time to earn back the money spent."
"For so long, whatever you've been spending is the inheritance left behind from your parents!"
"Do you know how much your parents even left behind? Do you?"
Qing Shi kept quiet.
"You don't know!" Ji Rong sneered, "With such a big sum of money, I believe that your parents must have gotten a few relics left behind by a Legend ranker, or even a Trascendent. Anything is possible! However, now that everything is being governed by your brother, you do not have even the slightest bit of knowledge on what is left behind by your parents."
"Everything is being controlled by your brother. Guess what? Now, he actually splurged more than 10,000 gold on a gift for You Yue! More than 10,000 gold! That year, my brother spent more than 20 years of hard work and effort before earning this amount yet he readily gave this away." Ji Rong looked at Qing Shi, "Strictly saying, all of these inheritance left behind by your parents does not belong to your brother alone. You should have a share as well!"

"Being one of the successors of the Dong Bo Clan, it's fine not receiving a share of the inheritance, but at the very least, you should know how much your parents left behind!" Ji Rong shook her head, "Yet you don't even know a single thing… Maybe i'm just a villain, but knowing how to protect yourself from harm is certainly the right thing to do!"
"Stop. Don't say anymore." Qing Shi was furious, "You don't even know a single thing between me and my brother!"
"Wait until your brother kicks you out of the clan, then you'll only be dumbfounded." Ji Rong continued shaking her head.
"You! Woman, shut up!" Qing Shi's eyes were red with fury. There were even some tears. "He is my big brother, the most important person in my life! Do you even know this?"
Ji Rong was appalled.
Seeing Qing Shi with his eyes turn red, she could not help but lower her head while grabbing his hands, "I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"You don't know anything about the relationship between me and my brother. So next time, don't spout all these nonsense. I feel agitated after hearing it." Qing Shi said with a shaky voice .
"Mn. Mn." Ji Rong nodded, softly comforted him, "Do you know, that year when my father was swept out by my uncle from home, we did not even have a place to stay? We could only temporarily stay at my mother's family home. Me, my father, my mother… were all looked down upon by them. It is the most miserable part of my life, and something which I'll never forget. Fortunately, my father had the gall to start another business again. Otherwise, I would not be here, having a chance to learn magic…"
"I understand." Qing Shi replied, "However, your family and mine are totally different. Alright. Go back and rest. I'll be going back as well."
Saying that, Qing Shi promptly turned tail and headed back towards the castle.
Ji Rong silently stood there, looking at Qing Shi walking away.
"Who would have thought that his brother was put on such a high pedestal in his heart." Ji Rong frowned. "Learning magic with this Dong Bo Qing Shi, and being his girlfriend for over half a year, this is my first time having the chance to explain to him about his circumstances! Of course, whatever I've said certainly make sense logically, yet he became so agitated after hearing it."
"How exactly did this Dong Bo Clan become so wealthy?"
"If only I could find out…"
Ji Rong laughed softly, her expression showing evil intent. "Even though he is so close with his brother, after today, I've finally put a seed of doubt in his mind which I believe will sprout soon in the near future. This Dong Bo Qing Shi is too innocent already. I guess his brother sheltered him far too much. Such a brat, if I could not conquer him, then that would be hilarious."
…
Along the way back to the castle, Qing Shi kicked a piece of rock furiously. "My brother has never ever deceived me before."
"That time when I was accepted as a disciple, I heard from teacher that his condition of accepting me was either 50,000 gold or a Silver Moon Wolf King's heart." Qing Shi's eyes brightened up. "My brother then told me to wait for a month for his news. After which, he went off with Uncle Zong to the Mountain Range of Desolation… with one sweep, eradicated the Bent Blade Union, successfully killed the Silver Moon Wolf King, before becoming an expert of Water Rites Town."
"Yes, I still remembered…"
"That time when I went with my brother to buy the Flying God Snow Spear, my brother had even owed the shopkeeper 10,000 gold!"
Qing Shi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Yes, I definitely remembered correctly. If father and mother really left behind a huge inheritance, then I doubt my brother would enter the Mountain Range. He should instead just give up the 50,000 gold! And if we were rich, then why would he even write a debt payable of 10,000 gold?"
When he grew up, he finally understand how dangerous the Mountain Range of Desolation was.
He also finally understood teacher's condition for accepting him as a disciple - either 50,000 gold or the heart of a Silver Moon Wolf King. Even though Xue Ying did not dwell much on it, it was not some big secret. Furthermore, being the personal disciple of the Great Mage, he would definitely know of the matter sooner or later. This coupled with the memory of his brother killing a Silver Moon Wolf King, Qing Shi could easily deduce the answer.
Thus, deep within his heart, he was extremely grateful to his brother.
He felt that…
His brother was like a huge mountain, always by his side, protecting him.
As the saying goes, a father's love is akin to that of a mountain.
Yet no matter how hard he tried, he did not have a clear memory of his parents. He only remembered of how much effort his brother put in over the years in taking care of him.
"What 'having protection against harm from others'? I know that my brother will never harm me."
"A man's intent is always hidden? Even if my brother really did something outrageous, like kicking me out of the castle, I would still be willing to accept it."
Dong Bo Qing Shi gritted his teeth.
However, it was an undeniable truth that whatever Ji Rong said about having defenses against external harm by others, had subconsciously affected Qing Shi, letting him know that he would still have to depend on himself in the future. After all, following his brother and depending on him forever would be meaningless.
"Damn it! Damn it! I'm so agitated!" Qing Shi was very uncomfortable within his heart. For so long, he had been living in such a carefree manner. Yet, after hearing Ji Rong's words, his mind was a mess.
******
Snowrock Castle, within the study room.
Xue Ying was smiling as he sat on the side, looking towards his two uncles testing out all the refined armor, boots, and other equipment.
"Xue Ying, you have surely splurged a lot on these…" Hong Ling could no longer control his curiosity. "How much did you actually spend on all this equipment?"
"Hahaha… It isn't much." Xue ying bellowed out, "This time when I went out on the mission, there were some twists in the end. I actually met a Legend-ranker."
"Legend ranker?"
Zong Ling and Tong San were both aghast.
God.
Legend rankers to them were considered to be akin to that of the boundless skies, a rank which they would never touch upon. Thus, when Xue Ying finally attained the strength of a Legend ranker, they were extremely excited about it. Still, they felt that Xue Ying was still too young, and that was because he had not comprehend the state of being 'One with the World', he would lose out to the older and more experienced Legend rankers.
Who would have thought otherwise that during this mission, Xue Ying actually met a Legend ranker!
"Even though he was really strong, and that he has some powerful techniques, I still manage to dispose off him." Xue Ying joyful whenever he thought back. "He died and I live on! I obtained his storage treasure rings, and within it were a filthy vast amount of treasures! Haha… Buying all these is considered nothing much!"
Zong Ling and Tong San both felt proud at this.
"Xue Ying ah…" Zong Ling felt a little worried still. "You have met such an accident while partaking in a Black Iron Order mission. You say you want to accumulate 20,000 merit points to save Dong Bo and Ah Yu… Yet these 20,000 merit points… let's say you accept an easier Bronze Order mission, you will only attain 1000 merit points at most. But those dangerous Bronze Order mission that gives 10,000 merit points in one go…"
"All Black Iron Order missions already have the risk of escalating its danger level. If we consider the Bronze Order mission that has a danger level way beyond that of the Black Iron Order missions… and you have to complete two of the missions?" Hong Ling felt disturbed at this, "It's extremely unsafe! How about you wait a while more, become stronger before accepting these missions?""Do not worry, Uncle Zong. I'm able to take care of myself." Xue Ying was touched by his worry.
Still, even after hearing his words, Zong Ling was still uneasy.
How could one take care of himself against the unknowns?
A simple Black Iron Order mission escalated up to it having a Legend ranker enemy. If we consider those harder Bronze Order mission, would it suddenly escalate up to the presence of a Transcendent within? Even though the Dragon Mountain Manor's missions were not suicidal, accidents could always happen.
"Brother." Outside the room came Qing Shi's voice.
"Qing Shi, you came." Xue Ying smiled at his brother. Qing Shi pushed open the door to the study room. He was already jumping with excitement. "Brother, I thought you said you are going to be giving me something? What is it? Uwahh! Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong, how come you've changed? The armour you are wearing looks really extraordinary! What about your boots? I've never seen them before?"
"This time when I went out on the mission, I've actually gained something. Thus, I decided to buy you guys some gifts." Xue Ying grinned. "I've also bought many things for you."
Saying that, with a wave of his hand…
Hu Hu Hu …
Beside them appeared many treasures. All of them were Heaven's grade mage equipment.
"This robe contains a complete 'Ice armour' spell matrix within. Regardless of whether it is the frost armour or Water ripple spell, with this inbuilt matrix, you could instantaneously cast them! It has half the power of a Meteor mage." Xue Ying slightly introduced the equipment. "This wristband contains a small-scale Frost domain spell matrix within. It has a third of the power of a Meteor mage. This ring…"
Xue Ying introduced one item by one item.
Qing Shi was shocked and excited at the same time.
He finally understood why his brother gave You Yue such an extravagant gift - the staff and the robe - even though he did not give her anything the past few years. It was after all a huge gain during this mission that allowed him to become so wealthy, that even refined equipment worn currently by Uncle Zong and Uncle Tong were worth even more than what was given to You Yue. As for his gifts? Needless to say, it costs much more.
All of these equipment are actually Heaven's grade Mage equipment, which were things he dared not even think of having in the past.
