Listening to the solemn assurances from the two, Zhao Anxin felt a stir of excitement within him. It was remarkable that even the Immortal Sir had not made a clear statement, yet his Zhao Family had already gained the unwavering support of two steadfast allies.
Indeed, under such circumstances, everything seemed to fall into place. He waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I will do my utmost to assist you in reaching out to that Immortal Sir, but whether or not he agrees to meet is entirely up to his own choice."
Zhu Ji resolutely replied, "As the leader of the Chu Family, I vow this: regardless of whether that Zun Shen is willing to meet us, whenever there is a need for the Zhao Family, just a word from you will prompt an immediate response from us in the Chu Family, without any hesitation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Xing could no longer contain himself. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Zhao An, we of the Xiahou Clan also request your assistance in making this connection. As the leader of one branch of the Xiahou Family, I cannot make such a promise on behalf of the entire family. However, I assure you as a branch leader that even if that Zun Shen is unwilling to meet, should the Zhao Family ever require assistance in the future, our branch will do everything in our power to support you until our last breath."
This was a reflection of society during the late Eastern Han period. The famous Luo Shui Oath was still far out of reach, and at this moment, Sima Yi was merely a three-year-old child. In those times, people placed great importance on reputation.
Hearing the solemn vows from both men filled Zhao Anxin with joy. He thought to himself how wonderful it was that while the Divine Lord had yet to express his stance, the Zhao Family had already secured two loyal allies.
Clearly, in the days to come, if they could gain the approval of the divine and act in accordance with the greater trends, then great fortune would undoubtedly bestow strength upon the Zhao Family.
Many thoughts raced through Zhao An's mind, further solidifying his determination to follow in the footsteps of the divine. Thus, he rose and stepped forward to assist both men to their feet. "Please do not stand on ceremony; let me attempt to contact that supreme being for you right now."
Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing deeply bowed, respectfully thanking Zhao An.
"Thank you, Zhao An."
Zhao An nodded gently and then gestured to Zhao Feng, who was standing nearby. "Since we have guests, Feng'er, please lead the people from the Chu Family and Xiahou Family to our Zhao Family Village for some rest. I will head straight to the residence of Immortal Sir."
"Understood."
Zhao Feng accepted the task and turned to the crowd. "Everyone, please follow me to your accommodations."
With Zhao Feng's guidance, the group from both villages made their way to the Zhao Family's residence.
Meanwhile, Zhao An took the lead towards Yun Xiao Yi's dwelling.
In the lavishly decorated villa, within the pavilion, Yun Xiao Yi's focused gaze was locked onto a nearly motionless white buoy on the water's surface.
At that moment, the water was no longer as it once was; it had transformed from a clear and empty lake into a scene adorned with large fan-shaped lily pads.
Recently, Yun Xiao Yi had taken a liking to fishing, but luck seemed to be against him as most of his catches were water lilies.
The lilies themselves held little value and were at best used to enrich the soil at home. Considering their decorative effect in the pond (the wealthy Zhao Family), he allowed them to beautify the environment naturally.
He had managed to catch over thirty colorful fish, twelve pufferfish, and three pairs of shoes in one go.
These three pairs of shoes were later gifted to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Niang.
Zhao Yun and Zhao Niang had previously received a complete set of iron armor from him at Taihang Mountain. However, during the Han Dynasty, hoarding armor was considered a serious crime.
Even so, running in that set of iron gear was extremely inconvenient. Thus, these shoes obtained from fishing were particularly precious. The Zhao Family was immensely grateful for them and bore no disdain for their origins from the depths of the water.
To ordinary people, these might seem like discarded items salvaged from the bottom of a pond, but for them, these boots were treasures with protective qualities.
In addition to that, he also acquired two bowls, a bone, four ink pouches, and a piece of leather cloth. To his astonishment, he even fished out two books imbued with mysterious magic spells.
Unfortunately, the magic contained in these two books is not as practical as one might hope. One of the books includes the Undead Hunter and Dismemberment curses. At first glance, both seem to be incredibly powerful enchanted sword books. However, the world he currently inhabits is a reality, not a realm filled with zombies and octopus monsters or some game setting.
In this era, the largest arthropods are merely certain crabs found in the sea. To deal with them, capturing them with nets and cooking them directly is the way to go; there is no need for the Dismemberment curse at all. Not to mention the Revenant Hunter spell—where would one find so-called spirits in the chaotic times of the Han Dynasty? Surely, it wouldn’t be on the battlefield where enemy forces suddenly manifest zombie-like versions of Lu Bu.
That said, these curses are not entirely useless. Although there are no visible spirits in this period, that does not rule out their existence in another world. Once he collects enough obsidian to open a portal to the Nether, he can take these two cursed weapons down to face Zombie Pigs, Withered Skeletons, and other exotic monsters.
As for the other enchanted book, it is even more lackluster than the first. It contains three curses: Verified Repair, Loyalty, and Thunder Summon. At first glance, all three curses sound quite impressive, but aside from Verified Repair, the other two can almost only be used in conjunction with a trident.
