Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 295 - 296: Treasure Keeper Wang Cai

Wang Cai’s intentions, Mu Can saw through immediately, this dog’s purpose was simple: he wanted to take over the custody of the treasures from Mu Can. Indeed, Mu Can felt that what Wang Cai said made some sense. If it were to be said which treasure on him was the most precious, it definitely had to be the Reincarnation Pearl. It could be said that without the Reincarnation Pearl, there would be no Mu Can today.

At this thought, Mu Can’s heart wavered slightly. He didn’t have many treasures on him anyway, so it wouldn’t matter much if he really handed them over to Wang Cai. freёnovelkiss.com

"Woof! How about it? All of the old master’s treasures were entrusted to me for safekeeping, guaranteed to be completely secure." Wang Cai asked with a sycophantic expression, his large dog face desperately trying to appear calm, his constantly wagging tail betraying his excitement.

Whether he could successfully become Mu Can’s treasure keeper depended on this moment. Wang Cai even felt his heart might leap out, so nervous it was unbearable.

"Hmm, this matter isn’t necessarily impossible," Mu Can pretended to hesitate for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Since it’s not impossible, then why not just give them to me? Woof! Woof! Woof!" Wang Cai barked excitedly, already feeling the endless treasures beckoning to him.

"It’s possible, but I have one condition," Mu Can said.

"What condition?" Wang Cai still had an excited expression, completely unaware that he seemed to have stepped into a trap already.

"Wang Cai, tell me, how do I usually treat you?" Mu Can did not directly answer Wang Cai’s question but instead shifted the angle. In fact, he had already made up his mind to entrust the treasures to Wang Cai for safekeeping. However, during this process, Mu Can definitely wanted to gain some benefits from Wang Cai. This dog, Mu Can still didn’t know how many cards he had up his sleeve; describing this large black dog as unfathomable wasn’t an exaggeration at all. Mu Can had no doubt, this dog alone could settle the chaos of the Three Realms, it’s just unknown why he hasn’t taken action yet.

"Woof! To be fair, although you can be a bit stingy at times, you’ve treated Lord Wang Cai well," Wang Cai pondered for a moment. Having met Mu Can and after such a long time of interaction, he had gained a certain understanding of Mu Can. Except for being a bit stingy towards him at times, there were no other issues.

"That’s good, then shouldn’t we be honest with each other?" Mu Can saw that Wang Cai was quite sensible and immediately continued to lead him on.

"Woof! That’s not right though, young one. Even if you’re not up to par, you are still the chosen master of the Reincarnation Pearl. What can I, the Artifact Spirit, do about it? Besides, no matter what, you’re still the old master’s disciple, who else would I help if not you?"

Rarely, Mu Can was able to hear such heartfelt words from Wang Cai’s mouth. All this time, their relationship had been very straightforward — Wang Cai helped him, and he helped Wang Cai, purely a mutually cooperative relationship. He had never thought that Wang Cai held such an opinion of him in his heart.

"Okay, I understand," Mu Can nodded, feeling inexplicably moved in his heart.

Actually, from the moment he met Wang Cai, whether they admitted it or not, their partnership had already been established.

Mu Can was the master of the Reincarnation Pearl, and Wang Cai represented the Reincarnation Pearl.

The man and the dog had long been an inseparable whole; Mu Can helped the Reincarnation Pearl grow, and the Reincarnation Pearl also helped Mu Can grow.

"Okay, I’ve decided then, from now on, I’ll let you take care of my treasures." Since Wang Cai had rarely shown his emotions, Mu Can couldn’t be petty. Keeping the treasures in the Storage Magical Treasure or with Wang Cai made no real difference; when he encountered danger, Wang Cai would definitely not stand idly by.

"Really? Woof! Woof!" Wang Cai barked excitedly upon hearing that Mu Can had agreed to his request. His excitement wasn’t just about the few treasures at hand; he had already thoroughly figured out what Mu Can possessed and there weren’t many things that truly made Wang Cai drool. What Wang Cai wanted was just a promise, a promise to treat him as a keeper of treasures in the future because he knew that the current Mu Can was still very weak, and the things he got were mostly rare in Mortal World but amounted to nothing in the Supreme Realm. Even the Treasure Bead he had just acquired, though it could grow, in Wang Cai’s eyes, it being able to reach the Peak of the Void Level was already quite good.

"Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you?" Mu Can looked at the overly excited Wang Cai, bewildered. Had this dog gone mad? It was just acting as a Storage Magical Treasure, why be so happy about it?

Although Mu Can knew some of Wang Cai’s plans, he had never expected Wang Cai’s vision to be so long-term, not until he reached the High Interface, then he understood that Wang Cai’s plans were indeed far-sighted. By that time, Wang Cai had already become his most loyal partner.

"Woof! Woof!" With his goal achieved, Wang Cai forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and stretched out his large black paw towards Mu Can.

"What?" Mu Can asked.

"What do you mean what? Don’t play dumb, you’ve just agreed to let me take care of the treasures," Wang Cai’s mouth almost split to his ears. Even though there were only a few treasures on Mu Can at the moment, it did not affect the joyful mood in Wang Cai’s heart.

"I just like to appreciate treasures, not be greedy," Wang Cai told himself in his heart.

If Mu Can had heard Wang Cai’s inner thoughts, he might have started to doubt whether it was right to let Wang Cai take care of his treasures.

"Alright, I’ll give them to you," Mu Can took out the items one by one from his Storage Magical Treasure. If Mu Can didn’t have the Reincarnation Pearl, his collection of treasures would have been rich, but with the Reincarnation Pearl, many items had already lost their preciousness.

Mu Can took out the Turtle Shell that Xuanyuan Mingkong had given him to shield against the Myriad Spirit Death Order, which had also helped Mu Can a great deal previously, ensuring he didn’t encounter too powerful Demon Beasts when he was still weak.

But now it was practically useless; Mu Can’s strength had already grown enough for him to face Wanling Mountain directly, except for that unfathomable old ancestor, Mu Can was no longer afraid of anyone from Wanling Mountain.

Receiving the Turtle Shell, Wang Cai weighed it with his paws, commenting, "This Turtle Shell is alright, it can shield against the divine secrets, but it’s only a bit useful in Mortal World now, and it’s almost useless to you now. Find an opportunity to give it away."
