Chapter 606: Chapter 243: Another Incident in the Great Mountain

Xu Ran and Xu Binghu had the same thought simultaneously.

This morning the villagers came, and now people from other villages have come.

How are they supposed to go hunting? Xu Binghu is missing several kinds of beast blood needed for body refining.

Xu Binghu said, ”Elder Qi, slaying the snake demon is an achievement of the whole Great Wilderness Border Village. How can it just be credited to me and my father?”

Xu Binghu only wanted to quickly dismiss everyone and then go into the mountains to hunt.

Xu Ran looked at the crowd behind him and spotted the matchmaker, Cui Hua, who had just left the Great Wilderness Border Village, among them.

There’s no doubt that this is Cui Hua’s doing, spreading the news in the villages near the Great Mountain, and only the Matchmaker Village has such promotional power.

Originally, the poisonous snake incident didn’t affect other villages. These people came not just to thank him; their real agenda is the Body Refining Manual.

Elder Qi said, ”Binghu, we know very well what achievements can be claimed and which cannot.”

”Without you and your father, even if the whole village put their lives on the line, we couldn’t have slain the Qi Refining Stage snake demon.”

The entire Great Wilderness Border Village never thought of competing for this achievement with the father and son. There was no need, or else the whole village wouldn’t have come to thank them this morning.

At this time, Cui Hua stepped out from the crowd and said, ”I was on the scene, and I’m very aware of the danger involved. It’s not an exaggeration to say the Xu Family father and son saved all the villages!!”

Aunt Mei, standing beside Cui Hua, took the lead, ”On behalf of Matchmaker Village, I thank the Xu Family father and son for saving Matchmaker Village!!”

Then she took out a package she was carrying and handed it to Xu Binghu, ”This is beast hide I got from other villages when I was young. It has some runes carved on it that I don’t understand.”

”Such a magical thing is useless for this old woman. Perhaps you can unlock its secrets.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran’s eyes lit up, and he accepted the beast hide.

This morning, Elder Qi also gave him a piece of beast hide with similar unknown runes on it. At the time, he felt it was mystical, but he hadn’t had time to study it.

Now, yet another piece with the same texture came in. There might really be a secret hidden here.

”Thank you for the gift, granny.” Xu Ran, without being pretentious, accepted it directly.

Aunt Mei saw this and realized that Xu Ran was very pleased with the gift. Her request might get accepted.

Seeing this, others started to worry.

But at the same time, they held hope that if they gave a good gift, they might get the Body Refining Manual.

In an instant, everyone rushed forward, each holding the gift they had prepared,

However, they were all small gifts, like clothes for children and some toys, rattles, and such...

Although they were of no use to Xu Ran, since he had accepted Aunt Mei’s gift, he didn’t feel right turning down others, even if they were useless.

Quickly, the majority of people handed over their gifts, and suddenly, the entrance of the Xu Family was piled with things, and a middle-aged man stood in the crowd, somewhat at a loss.

Xu Binghu saw this and was pleasantly surprised, ”Master Yang.”

This man was Master Yang, who taught Xu Binghu how to forge iron.

Master Yang was the most renowned smith in Cast Iron Village.

As the name suggests, Cast Iron Village lived by iron forging. All the iron products near the Great Mountain were crafted by their villagers.

It’s fair to say that in the villages near the Great Mountain, apart from the Great Wilderness Border Village, Cast Iron Village had the best way of life.

Hearing Xu Binghu call his name, Master Yang felt both sentimental and a bit abashed.

Back then, when Xu Binghu was crafting armor at his place, he was by the side and knew that nothing in Cast Iron Village could match that piece of armor.

As Cast Iron Village only had iron products worthwhile, he had brought a just-forged broadsword as a gift.

He didn’t expect that the famous Xu Family father and son were the ones who had come to his house to forge iron.

Xu Ran, having heard of Master Yang from Xu Binghu, became very thoughtful.

”Dad, since Master Yang taught you iron forging, we haven’t repaid him yet. Why don’t we invite him to our home for dinner tonight to thank him in person?”

Master Yang’s once dim eyes instantly sparkled.

Xu Binghu was visibly puzzled in his eyes. Though it was true Master Yang taught him iron forging, the teaching qualification was obtained by Elder Qi’s favor.

However, whatever the case, if Xiao Ran said so, there must be a reason.

Xu Binghu also noticed the beast hide in Xu Ran’s hand, ”Matchmaker Cui Hua, the village’s marriages still require the Matchmaker Village’s effort. Please join us for dinner tonight as well.”

Both Cui Hua and Aunt Mei heard this and were a bit thrilled, nodding repeatedly, ”Great, great!!”

Others looked on with envy.

Being invited by Xu Ran and his family meant the Body Refining Manual wasn’t far from them.

Xu Binghu gave Elder Qi a look, and Elder Qi understood, saying, ”Everyone, the village has prepared a banquet for all of you. Consider it a celebration of renewed life. If you don’t mind, please join us.”

This was essentially an eviction order. Without another choice, they had to leave Xu Ran’s home. They couldn’t just linger around someone’s doorstep, especially since these were the people who could slay a snake demon.

After everyone left, Elder Qi, Master Yang, Cui Hua, and Aunt Mei stayed at the Xu Family.
