Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Kuangfeng Tribe’s Imperial Treasury!_l

Shortly after.

Uncle Ma’s voice came from outside the cabin.

“Young Master, we’ve arrived at the Kuangfeng Tribe!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately got up and walked out of the cabin.

As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted by the imposing view of a water fortress.

At this time, the two surviving water bandits stood on the edge of the deck, trembling, “Sir, the Kuangfeng Tribe is ahead, could you let us go?”

“First, take me to the treasure vaults of the Kuangfeng Tribe! If you behave well, I won’t go back on my word!” said Jiang Yuan.

“Right away, sir!” both nervously responded.

Just then, the two up on the lookout tower were awakened by the commotion from Jiang Yuan’s side.

They slowly opened their sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and yawned.

They wondered curiously why the Grand Tribe Chief was back so early from his outing.

Did he have good luck today and make a huge haul?

But when they fully opened their eyes and saw what was happening below.

They gasped in surprise.

Then, they bellowed, “Who the heck are you people? Daring to infiltrate our Kuangfeng Tribe? Do you want to die?”

“Gu MO, get rid of all the water bandits and open the gates!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Gu MO replied, then with a shove of his foot, he immediately left the ship.

In a gust of wind, he shot straight towards the lookout tower at the front.

Seconds later, there were several screams.

Then, cries and screams echoed from the fortress one after another. After a short while, the gates of the water fortress slowly opened.

“Go in!” Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

The young guardsmen began to paddle, slowly steering the ship into the fortress.

Upon entering, they saw bodies floating on the water all along the way.

Clearly, they had been recently killed, their fresh blood staining the entire lake red.

A moment later, led by the two water bandits, Jiang Yuan and the others landed on the fortress.

“Inside is our Kuangfeng Tribe’s treasure vault!” the two muttered, heads bowed.

At this time, Gu Mo t s figure slowly appeared before everyone.

“Young master, mission accomplished without leaving a single survivor, but what do we do with the women they abducted here?”

Jiang Yuan replied indifferently: “Life and death are fated. We have already saved their lives. There are light boats and paddle boats here. If they wish to live, they can return home. If they want to die, it’s pointless to save them!

Besides, we are not officials. It’s not our business to take care of the civilians!”

After saying this, he turned to the two water bandits and said: “Open the doors to the treasure vault!”

“Yes!” Both immediately complied, not daring to raise any objections.

However, when they started hacking at the lock with their weapons.

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!’

The wooden door of the treasure vault gave off repeated sounds of metal clashing, sparks flying everywhere, but only leaving scratches on the surface.

“Young master, it seems that this treasure vault is made of sinking-iron wood! These Kuangfeng Tribe sure has deep pockets!” Uncle Ma was surprised.

Sinking-iron wood!

A look of surprise also appeared on Jiang Yuan’s face.

This type of wood is hard to grow, often found only in extremely cold places. It is exceptionally hard and far more valuable than refined iron.

The fact that they could afford to use such wood to build a treasure vault implies that Kuangfeng Tribe has made quite a fortune over the years.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat excited.

As of now, he was really short of money!

The three thousand taels of silver that had been paid out as compensation by the Civilian Trading had basically been drained for the survivors’ relief payments of the deceased guards from Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

The gifts brought by various powers in Lin’an City later had also been spent. Especially after buying that strong bow, he was totally broke.

strong bows are always the most expensive weapons.

Moreover, that bow was made for a top body forging expert at the ninth level, so it was even more costly!

Then, Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, “You two, step back!”

At his command, they hurriedly moved aside, panting heavily.

Jiang Yuan went up to the wooden door of the imperial treasury, placing his palm firmly against it. He exerted his strength.

Boom

The wooden planks under everyone’s feet trembled.

The treasure house door instantly shattered into fragments, flying around.

The walls made of sinking-iron wood next to it twisted and deformed as well.

The two water bandits who saw all this were greatly shocked.

They had just experienced the hardness of the treasury door, hacking it with all their strength and only leaving shallow knife marks.

But in the hands of the young boy…

With a casual push, the entire treasury was easily destroyed.

Such strength, so terrifying!

Helplessness flooded their hearts.

Being at the mercy of someone like him, they had no control over life or death anymore.

They could only hope he would keep to his word.

Jiang Yuan peered through the broken door and his eyes lit up with joy.

“Uncle Ma, call the boys and follow me in to move things.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Old Ma responded with excitement.

Jiang Yuan then led the way into the Kuangfeng Tribe’s treasury.

Everywhere in the treasury, boxes upon boxes of gold, silver, and precious jewels, silk brocades were scattered randomly on the ground.

The whole room sparkled with brilliance.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

Money, it’s indeed a good thing.

The path of cultivation also relied on the support of wealth.

Even Li Hong, the County Honour of Lin’an County and an outer sect disciple of the Sunset Sect.

For the sake of acquiring cultivation resources, he guarded Lin’an County for more than a decade.

If he had enough wealth to directly exchange for sect points, he wouldn’t need to waste time like this.

Based on his actions, it could be concluded that even in the Immortal Sects, gold and silver had value and were needed by the major sects.

It’s understandable, gold and silver are scarce minerals. Since there are weapons forging, naturally, there will be artefacts refining.

The materials needed for refining would certainly be diverse, requiring gold and silver; this is completely normal.

Furthermore, won’t the people of the Sect have mortal families?

Their survival and expansion also require gold and silver.

Therefore, this batch of treasures from the Kuangfeng Tribe was exactly what Jiang Yuan needed.

By this time, Old Ma had led those young escorts into the treasury.

Jiang Yuan said, “Uncle Ma, move all these items. Whatever we don’t need can be taken to Luoshui Commandery for exchange.”

“Yes!” Old Ma nodded, then began instructing them to move the boxes. Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, continued walking deeper into the treasury.

The loot near the entrance was just the ordinary wealth.

Deeper inside were the most treasurable possessions, accumulated over decades by the Kuangfeng Tribe.

Coming to the storage chest…

Jiang Yuan flipped through it one by one. There were secret manuscripts, but after a quick flick through, they all seemed common martial arts secrets. Such martial arts secrets could only be exchanged for money.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan casually opened a martial arts secret and his eyes suddenly hardened.

“Crossing the River by a Reed! Good stuff!” he praised.

He then carefully flipped through it page by page. After finishing it, he slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, the secrets recorded in this martial arts secret book were all coming to life in his mind..
