The Sea Phosphorus Inn was outrageous, even scarier than a haunted house; Su Yan was certainly terrified. After all, the existence of that thing was something even his elderly mother, Grand Tutor Jin, his aunt, and Aunt Hua Yu, who raised a large number of poisonous insects for protection, couldn't detect. Therefore, Su Yan decided to flee overnight.

If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?

If you're so capable, why don't you chase me all the way to the Flower City and keep telling me ghost stories in my ear in the middle of the night!

Chapter 263 The Whip is Powerful

"I'm never staying here again!"

Su Yan ran to her aunt's villa and took a bath in the wooden tub in the bathroom. She washed off the oil from her fur and the braided tail. She glanced at the villa with a slightly disgusted look, almost sticking out her tongue and spitting.

After drying the water off his hair, Su Yan transformed into human form and ran to the inn's lobby, planning to make a quick getaway after completing his transaction with the weapon-wielding cultivator.

Now, the Hailin Inn is filled with members of the Huang clan from Blackwater City. Su Yan walked out from the backyard, and the repeated calls of "senior" made him feel a little smug. Putting everything else aside, the Huang clan members were still very kind.

"Son! Here's a freshly made soup dumpling. Take a sip while it's still warm."

When Su Yan came out of the backyard, he saw the elders who were already sitting in the lobby of the inn enjoying breakfast. Fox Mother raised her hand and waved to Su Yan, signaling him to stick his head over, bite the bamboo tube, and suck on the crab roe bun.

Breakfast at the seaside usually consists of salted shrimp and a type of squid called "small squid," served with rice porridge, or sometimes some pickled vegetables. However, Fox Mom felt that Little Fox had become a bit thin lately, so she skipped the breakfast standard and ordered breakfast for Su Yan according to the lunch standard.

On the table, there was not only a crab roe bun that was as big as Su Yan's fox-like size, but also crab roe noodles made by adding a small amount of flour to the crab roe. A drizzle of crab roe and crab meat topping was poured directly over the crab roe noodles.

The crustacean seafood was cooked into a soup, and the main dish was a strange fish that Su Yan didn't recognize. It had an ugly face and stared at Su Yan with its dead fish eyes after it was steamed. Su Yan silently picked up his chopsticks and moved the scallion and chili threads on the fish slightly to cover up the dead fish eyes.

A mournful aura emanated from his dead fish eyes, making Su Yan almost unable to pick up his chopsticks.

………………

Not long after having breakfast at the Hailin Inn, the cultivators from the Weapon Sect arrived as scheduled.

However, upon seeing a table full of Earth Immortals, the Weapon Sect cultivators almost thought they were being double-crossed. If Su Yan hadn't spoken up quickly, the Weapon Sect cultivators would have all run away.

"cough cough"

Pei Yan coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness, then raised his hand in a gesture of respect to Elder Su Yan, saying, "Seeing all of you seniors sitting here so early in the morning, my first instinct was to think I was being double-crossed, so I thought of running away."

"You guys are really good at judging people," Su Yan thought to herself.

My aunt and mother used to specialize in robbing others to help themselves. The Chick Hatchery True Lord is a cultivator from the Southern State, yes, he's a demonic cultivator. Although I don't know the origin of the Firefly Taoist, someone who can mingle with evil people is probably not a good person either.

Currently, only Sister Hongling is considered a good person, so Su Yan has to admire Pei Yan Dao Ren's discerning eye; he can tell at a glance that there isn't a single good person among his elders.

"Let's get down to business! Three thousand catties of spirit stones."

Pei Yan returned to Su Yan with an embarrassed expression and asked Su Yan for the medical fee.

Seeing this, Su Yan didn't waste any words and directly took out the money.

After receiving the spirit stones, Pei Yan took out a golden compass from his storage ring. Then, Pei Yan Daoist raised his hand and placed the golden compass on the square table, and a special array diagram that shimmered with orange-red light slowly unfolded.

"Place your artifact on the base and wait a short while before you see the sleeping artifact spirit."

Pei Yan raised his hand and pointed to the golden compass in the center of the square table, which had fully bloomed. A layer of red velvet cloth was laid on top of the compass to prevent scratches.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan took out the God-Slaying Whip from his storage ring and placed it on top.

Pei Yan raised his hand and poured out a silver liquid, which fell into the array for repairing the artifact spirit. As the orange-red liquid rose, Su Yan's God-Slaying Whip gradually began to react.

Under the watchful eyes of four weapon-wielding cultivators, five Earth Immortals, and Su Yan, two short, golden legs resembling plant roots emerged from the hilt of the God-Slaying Whip. With a somersault, it sprang up from the velvet cloth, tilting the hilt upwards towards the counterweight ball at the end of the handle, and began to move.

"."

Upon seeing the God-Slaying Whip in such a pose, the cultivators and elders of the Weapon Sect fell into deep thought.

"Son, if I remember correctly, the human race calls this thing Copper Sun, right?"

The fox mother looked at the inverted Heavenly Divine Whip and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. After a moment's thought, she suddenly realized what it meant and looked at the little fox, saying, "...Should we just forget about it? Taking this thing out for a magical duel is a bit beneath us."

Everyone present looked at Su Yan strangely. Su Yan's cheeks flushed red, and she whispered, "Let's treat it."

Previously, while holding the God-Slaying Whip, he hadn't made any unfounded connections to other things. After all, it was a true spiritual weapon, capable of forming hard whips, soft whips, and meteor hammers specifically designed to attack the soul.

However, after the fox mother pointed it out with a strange expression, Su Yan's cheeks flushed red, especially since the elders were all staring at her.

Su Yan wasn't shy, but rather embarrassed. Inside her shoes, where no one could see, Su Yan's toes involuntarily curled up and rubbed against the soles.

"You can just sign the contract directly," said Pei Yan Dao Ren with a strange expression, looking at Tong Yang, who was hopping around on the square table with his short legs.

Su Yan looked embarrassed. He slightly turned his arm, his palm facing the table, and grabbed the God-Slaying Whip. Then he flipped it so that the hilt of the God-Slaying Whip was facing upwards.

The God-Slaying Whip kicked its two little legs, seemingly dissatisfied with Su Yan flipping it over.

The Beast Taming Sect is a demonic sect, and also a sect related to reproduction and procreation. Naturally, the spiritual artifacts produced by the Beast Taming Sect carry a flavor of procreation worship.

Because the God-Slaying Whip is a type of whip weapon, the Beast Taming Sect deliberately designed it in this shape.

It wasn't unintentional on the part of the Beast Taming Sect, but rather a deliberate act!

Su Yan's blood pact with the God-Slaying Whip went smoothly without any setbacks.

The God-Slaying Whip is currently within the Weapon Sect Formation. Being inside the orange-red formation ensures the safety of its weapon spirit, but once it leaves the formation, the weapon spirit remains extremely weak.

The God-Slaying Whip knew it was nearing its end. If it didn't form a contract with a cultivator to transfer its magical power and nourish its spirit and body, it wouldn't be long before its spirit and body collapsed.

Therefore, when Su Yan said he wanted to sign a blood pact, the God-Slaying Whip didn't hesitate at all and signed the blood pact directly.

"Bah"

The moment the blood pact was signed, Su Yan felt a powerful gravitational pull in the void, which instantly drained all the magic power from his body. Su Yan couldn't help but let out a soft moan as he reappeared on the square table.

The God-Slaying Whip landed on the table with a thud, still displaying its proud posture with the hilt facing downwards and the metal counterweight ball at the end pointing straight upwards.

"Pfft."

Seeing this, the fox mother couldn't help but chuckle. The God-Slaying Whip moved closer to Su Yan, seemingly wanting to be affectionate, but Su Yan turned around and ran away without thinking. The God-Slaying Whip continued to chase after its master with its short legs.

Chapter 264 Returning to Flower City (Third Update)

"You absolutely must! Please make me a leather case, otherwise I simply cannot accept it!"

After catching his breath, Su Yan returned to human form, raised his hand to press down on the God-Slaying Whip, and looked at the cultivators of the Weapon Sect, earnestly asking them to make a whip sheath for him.

The God-Slaying Whip and the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword are like two extremes. The Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword ignores everyone except the mother fox, and even its master, Su Yan, is only selectively acknowledged. It usually floats quietly in mid-air.

The God-Slaying Whip is extremely clingy, which was originally a very good thing. However, after being enlightened by the Fox Mother, Su Yan could no longer look at the appearance of the God-Slaying Whip directly. Whenever he saw the God-Slaying Whip, his mind would generate inexplicable associations.

Therefore, after paying the awakening fee and the medicine fee, Su Yan took out spirit stones and begged Fellow Daoist Pei Yan to make him a leather case for the God-Slaying Whip.

Never make it to size; just tan a mansion for the God-Slaying Whip.

"it is good!"

With the spirit stones already in place, the cultivator from the Weapon Sect, who was originally a merchant, naturally didn't say anything. He quickly ran out of the inn to buy tanned animal hides for Su Yan, then cut them to size and wrote incantations to seal them, doing everything perfectly for Su Yan in one go.

The Artifact Sect's main selling point is its service attitude; as long as the spirit stones are in place, they can handcraft any artifact.

Because Su Yan's spending exceeded 100,000, Master Peiyan even gave him a discount coupon that was universally applicable to the Weapon Sect.

........................

The God-Slaying Whip has been initially repaired. With the help of the special repair liquid made by the Weapon Sect, Su Yan only needs to soak the God-Slaying Whip in it and add a large amount of spirit stones, and the God-Slaying Whip and its original body will be restored to their original state.

"Time to go back to school!"

Su Yan sealed the jar, then stuffed the glass jar filled with the special spiritual liquid and the God-Slaying Whip into his storage ring, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh? Are you getting ready to go back so soon?" Hongling asked with a surprised expression.

"He's still in school, so it's difficult for him to get leave," his aunt explained on Su Yan's behalf.

The claim that it was difficult to ask for leave was false. The reason Su Yan was in a hurry to return to Flower City was because he believed that something evil was causing trouble at the Hailin Inn, and it was a fierce ghost that no cultivator could detect. So he chose to run away.

As the saying goes, if I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you?

Indeed.

Hongling recalled Grand Tutor Jin's appearance, and after a moment's thought, she also felt that what her aunt said made sense.

"It's a pity. I thought we could have a proper get-together, since we only see each other a few times a year."

"I never said I wanted to go back." Auntie looked at the Chick Hatchery True Monarch and Firefly Taoist with a smile, her face showing a kind expression: "Let's play two hundred more rounds!"

Auntie really didn't plan to go home. The hundreds of storage rings Su Yan had acquired would take a lot of time to organize, and the little fox was currently snuggled in Su Qing's arms, the mother and son talking a lot. Auntie didn't want to disturb their short reunion.

She wasn't even satisfied with winning yet!

My aunt is determined to win back her money with interest, so that the Chick Hatchery Master will lose so much that he'll even have to keep his bellyband with her.

"."

Seeing the smug look on her aunt's face, Su Yan hesitated, then advised:

"Auntie, you have to take it easy. You can't predict what will happen with luck."

My aunt is a classic example of someone who loses more than she wins. She usually relies on her dominance at the gambling table. Now that I've left, Su Yan is worried that my aunt will lose everything at the mahjong table and be left with nothing but poverty.

"Auntie knows what she's doing; it's a sure win." Auntie waved her hand at Su Yan, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Su Yan glanced at Sister Hongling, the chick hatcher, and the Firefly Taoist: "."

Auntie, you can go ahead! At worst, when the Huang clan hosts another banquet, your nephew can step in and win back the spirit stones you lost!

........................

"Is there anything else you need to buy? If not, then we can head home."

After leaving the Sea Phosphorus Inn, the mother fox, holding the little fox, asked a question.

"Is that all I need to buy for now?" Su Yan thought about the seafood he had caught in his storage ring. There was nothing he needed to buy at the moment. He wouldn't know how to refine the materials for weapon crafting, and alchemy materials were only purchased as needed. It wasn't like he was in business, so why would he hoard goods?

Moreover, his friends didn't ask him to bring anything back for them.

Su Yan also carried some souvenirs in his storage ring.

"If we really have to say what we need, Mother, don't you think it's unusually quiet today?" Su Yan looked at Fox Mom and complained, "Uncle Lian Qi seems to have disappeared."

"Maybe he went to pick a fight with your father again?" Mother Fox said with a smile.

“Your father is working really hard right now. Maybe soon he’ll find a way to bring us home openly and legitimately!”
