Constant chirping of birds and crows of roosters signaled the arrival of dawn. Jiang Tian's biological clock awakened him and he sat cross-legged in his room.

Last night's events still lingered in his mind and and it made him smile.

Xia Xingyue's way of tempering her soul also helped Jiang Tian improve his mastery of the Ghost Emperor Scripture. As a peak powerhouse. Jiang Tian was unparalleled and never got to experiment his Ghost Emperor Scripture on stronger enemies.

Now that his cultivation restarted, Jiang Tian would inevitably face against stronger enemies and training methods and strategies effective against them was necessary. That's where Xia Xingyue comes into the picture.

Possessing higher cultivation and a stronger soul. Jiang Tian had to find vitals that he could exploit and make sure that he would succeed before attacking.

Battle between souls were gruesome and a single mistake could possibly cause a backlash that spelled one's doom. Miscalculation frequently led to the deaths of strong soul cultivators back in his previous life.

As a cautious person, Jiang Tian never moved without ensuring his success. Though he mostly risked his life, he always had multiple escape routes that guaranteed his life upon failure.

After all, even perfect calculation, planning and preparations, there was a single variable that could never be predicted in battle. A single variable that no one in this world could possibly predict.

And that was luck.

Yes,

That's right.

Without luck, plans never succeeded and objectives never achieved.

To counter his abysmal luck. Jiang Tian made it a habit to create numerous escape routes and back up plans.

Training with Xia Xingyue proved dangerous but beneficial, and other than miscalculating her weak points, it didn't possess any real threat towards Jiang Tian since she was inside his dreamland.

And inside that world, he was the sovereign that ruled over everything.

While Jiang Tian contemplated about his next course of actions. A knock disurbed his rumination and Xia Bingyue's strange voice came behind the door.

"Jiang Tian, it's time for breakfast. Father is waiting for us at the living hall..."

"I'm coming!" Jiang Tian shouted a reply and arranged his clothes before walking outside of his room where he was greeted by Xia Bingyue that held a strange expression on her face.

Jiang Tian observed her then frowned when he realized that she darted her gaze all around the area yet never glanced at him even once.

"Is Miss Bingyue still angry at me?" Jiang Tian jokingly said and Xia Bingyue trembled before dashing towards the opposite direction in a panic. Leaving Jiang Tian behind with a mystified expression on his face.

Xia Bingyue walked away with hasty footsteps. Her crimson expression indicated her panic and embarrassment when she remembered the hushed voices and ragged breathing that she heard last night at Xia Xingyue's room.

How can he act like nothing happened last night?! Are men really that apathic when it comes to those kinds of things?! And to think that he has such a vicious side, verbally abusing the Patriarch herself...

Xia Bingyue looked at Jiang Tian in a different light.

Arriving at the living room for breakfast, Jiang Tian locked his eyebrows when he noticed that both father and daughter had weird looks within their eyes.

Could it be that they heard what we were doing last night?

Jiang Tian thought. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything that would make them stare at him like that. Lightly coughing, Jiang Tian said.

"Ermmm, about last night. The Patriarch just invited me for a round of training. She wants me to temper her soul so if you heard something weird last night coming out of her room, all of those things are just the result of our training..."

He honestly explained but his words sent shivers down the spines of the two who almost choked on their food. Xia Guanyu lifted a weird smile and said, "Of course, of course, we believe you, what happened last night is definitely training, okay? Let's just keep eating..."

Xia Bingyue didn't say anything but her crimson cheeks ears indicated her emotions.

Xia Guanyu thought, "The Patriarch has never married someone so she never got to satisfy her desires, and looking at Jiang Tian, he's a young man full of vigor. I'd be damned to believe that they weren't doing those kinds of things!"

Pent up desires frequently led to energy deviation so most cultivators visited brothels for their desires. But since the Patriarch was a woman and held a high standing synonymous to the entire Xia Clan itself. She had to mind her actions and make sure that she doesn't lose any face.

Xia Guanyu had accompanied the Patriarch ever since her teenage years so he knew how lecherous and deviant she could become.

Jiang Tian lifted a bitter smile, he knew that the never believed what he said and just agreed for the sake of courtesy. Completing his meal, Jiang Tian stood up and said.

"The Patriarch said that I could enter and take whatever I want from your warehouse. She told me tha I could tell you about it and you will bring me there..."

Xia Guanyu heard his words and said, "My warehouse?" He thought for a moment and said with a beaming smile on his face, "In that case then you can follow me, I'll lead you to that warehouse of mine."

The group stood up and walked outside of the pavilion. Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel a foreboding sensation in his heart when he saw the calm smile on Xia Guanyu's face.

Arriving at the warehouse, Jiang Tian saw a pavilion that contrasted the pristine appearance of the other pavilions inside Xia Guanyu's residence.

"That's the warehouse that the Patriarch talked about. Don't be embarrassed and just take whatever you want, we'll be leaving now." Xia Guanyu gestured and Xia Bingyue couldn't help but slightly smile towards her father's pretentious actions.

Jiang Tian inwardly frowned and said, "The Patriarch said that I could take everything that I wanted, you know? Are you really sure that you're fine about that? After all, this is your own personal warehouse. I'm afraid that you'll bleed your heart out in regret."

Jiang Tian probed for a reaction but what he acquired was the opposite. Instead of expressing sorrow and concern. Xia Guanyu looked like a blossoming sunflower as he said in a slightly sheepish voice.

"Well, if this was another occasion then I may have refused. But since you're someone that deserves those rewards, it would be too stingy if I held back on the rewards, right?"

Xia Bingyue suffused a small smile on her face that felt like the silhouette of spring breeze. Her countenance void of embarrassment as she said, "Don't hold back, just take whatever you want. It's rare that Father wants to open his warehouse, and it would be the first time since several decades ago, most of his valuable treasures are still there."

xia Bingyue made sure to emphasize the word, "Valuable treasures" and ushered for him to move. However, instead of encouraging him and lifting his mood. Their words intensified his doubts and Jiang Tian thought that these pair of father of daughter were planning something sinister of him.

"In that case, can Senior give me a Spatial Storage? The treasures that I may fancy may prove too much to carry on my person..." Jiang Tian said with a smile and Xia Guanyu almost busted a gut, suppressing his laughter. He said in a strange voice.

"Of course, of course, that's not a problem..." He handed over a Spatial Ring and Jiang Tian inspected it with his Spiritual Energy. To his astonishment, he found that the Spatial Ring could fit a mountain of items.

"I thank Senior for his generosity. Since I now have a storage device, I'll be going now..." Jiang Tian clasped his hands together in respect and Xia Bingyue waved him off with a sweet smile on her face.

Little did Jiang Tian knew that as soon as he entered the warehouse, Xia Bingyue and Xia Guanyu stared at each other and high-fived, "Success!" They shouted.

Entering the warehouse. Jiang Tian finally understood why the two acted so strange and why Xia Guanyu looked so willing to give his personal warehouse to him.

Amidst the dust and filth that covered the walls and circulated in the air. Jiang Tian could see innumerable Artifacts decorating the ground. Placed haphazardly without any care, they looked pitiful to the eyes and when Jiang Tian picked one off the ground, he realized the reason why Xia Guanyu never cared for these Artifacts.

It was because they were broken!

Lifting a small smile on his face, Jiang Tian cursed the stingy bastard, "Fucking hell, actually daring to give me broken Artifacts as compensation, is this how they're going to treat their benefactors?"

Sweeping his gaze over the mountains of metal scraps and broken down Artifacts. Jiang Tian's heart of a scavenger surfaced and a zealous light shone within his eyes.

As someone who lived in complete poverty, he valued anything that could prove useful and he could turn useless items into useful utilities. There has to be way that he could make good use of these items and Jiang Tian was determined to discover that method.

Cracking his knuckles and neck, Jiang Tian dashed towards the mountain of garbage and started his quest on making them useful for his current objective.
