"It's your good fortune that you've received these things, and I'm naturally happy for you. But I still hope that you can have a safe and smooth journey ahead." Black Owl was genuinely happy for Ji Fengming, but he was also quite frightened when he thought about it.
"That's right, that's right. Such a good thing can't happen every day," Ji Fengming said with a roguish air, hooking his arm around Hei Xiao's shoulder.
Black Owl didn't dodge, and let him hook him.
Seeing that all three of them were staring at them, Ji Fengming awkwardly touched his nose, chuckled, and reached out to touch Shang Xiye.
Brother-in-law, can you lend me a hand in this situation?
Shang Xiye took a step back imperceptibly and gave him a look: Don't touch me!
Ma Chengrao gave an awkward laugh, took a half step forward, and hesitated to speak.
Ji Fengming then found a way to back down and said to Ma Chengrao, "Ma Dahuyou, you want to ask about your father, right?"
Ma Chengrao nodded vigorously a few times: "He is still my father. I need to see him alive or dead so that I can explain to my mother when I get back."
Ji Fengming sighed softly, waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen skeletons from the temple, saying, "My cultivation is still low. With my current spiritual power, I can't open many rooms in the temple. These are the skeletons I could find. There are no living people inside them."
Ma Chengrao nodded, indicating his understanding.
Because time flows differently inside the temple than outside, one day inside the temple is equivalent to only one hour outside.
So apart from the few newly deceased men in black, the other skeletons were all severely damaged.
He carefully examined the pile of bones for a long time before finally identifying his father's remains from the rotten, fragmented pieces of clothing.
Ji Fengyao gave him a storage ring with a space of about five cubic meters, and also gave him a piece of white silk.
After expressing his deepest gratitude, Ma Chengrao, with tears in his eyes, used a white silk ribbon to collect his father's remains.
At this moment, Ji Fengming also searched through all the accessible rooms in the temple once more.
He took out a box of nine golden pills, a set of four fine white jade swords, a jade flute, and a jade fan.
Ji Fengming handed the jade flute and a jade sword directly to Hei Xiao, saying, "Keep this flute for me. The temple spirit Xiao Kui said that this sword is a divine artifact. Since you don't have a suitable weapon yet, you can take this sword and use it for now. You don't need to return it to me when you get one."
Black Owl's eyes flickered, but he did not refuse. He took the flute and sword and replied softly, "Alright."
"These three, one for each of us," Ji Fengming said, handing the remaining three swords to Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye, and then giving the jade fan to Wanqi Kafu: "Miss Kafu, this fan is also a divine artifact, here you go."
"Ah, this... how can I take your things?" Wanqikaf politely declined as if she were a friend.
After Ji Fengming's death, she completely saw through everything.
Although she still liked Ji Fengming, she no longer harbored any improper thoughts about him and only hoped that he would live a happy and fulfilling life.
"What's wrong with that? We came together, everyone gets a share, how can you not?" Ji Fengming could tell that she had opened up, and he no longer avoided her like the plague as before, but instead became closer to her.
"Kaf, just keep it. This fan suits you well, and it doesn't catch anyone's eye. It's perfect for self-defense," Ji Fengyao advised.
"Alright, then I'll accept it. Thank you, Brother Fengming." Wanqikafu happily took the fan and played with it in her hands repeatedly.
Following Xiao Kui's instructions, the five people pricked their fingers and each dripped their blood onto their newly acquired artifacts to formally acknowledge them as their masters.
In this way, they can absorb and nurture their newly acquired artifacts within their bodies, cultivating a tacit understanding with the artifacts, and using them at any time.
