The five elders had been hearing him speak, but as soon as they heard his final words, the five of them opened their eyes: "Patriarch... You are going to use a bow?"
Mo Xie looked at Wuhan and asked: "What's the matter?"
Wuhan looked at the ground slightly nervous but speaking: "Well... There is not much of a problem... But..."
"But?" Mo Xie looked at Wuhan in bewilderment.
"But... Isn't bow used by ordinary mortals for hunting beasts?" Wuhan looked at Mo Xie as he spoke.
Hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but be speechless for the first time!
A bow? A mere tool for hunting beast?! Are you guys kidding me?!
Mo Xie touched his temple as he tried to find some words to explain it, he can a bow be described as a mere tool?
'This World is definitely lacking! In more ways than what I can describe myself!'
Wuhan and the other is looking at Wuhan in bewilderment; 'Had we said something wrong?' They can see the question in each other's eyes. They looked at Mo Xie as they wait for his next word.
Meanwhile, Mo Xie is having a really hard time; 'How can I say it so that these guys will understand?'
'Only mortals use the bow to hunt beast... only mortals... mortals!' A sudden idea struck Mo Xie as he looked at the elders.
A smile finally appeared in his face as he spoke: "Well, how should I start it, a bow is something that mortals use when they hunt beast? Can any of you tell me what?"
Zedong is the first to reply: "Patriarch, isn't it, due to them being powerless? It gives them a disadvantage as they fight beasts."
The four nodded as they also accepted his reasons.
Mo Xie smiled and replied: "Then, what about if he used a sword?"
This time, it is Lingxin: "Patriarch, there will be a huge disadvantage for them, although beasts are weaker than Demon Beast, all of them still have ma.s.sive brute strength, confronting them in a melee battle will only result of injuries, or even worst, Death!"
"Oh, so you are telling me that the usage of a sword will be at a disadvantage when they fight? But using a bow can give them a chance to kill a Beast?" Mo Xie asked.
"Yes, Patriarch." The five of them nodded as they answered.
"Then, you mean to tell me, that a mortal can have a huge disadvantage as they fight a beast which is stronger than them by only using a bow?
They can gain advantages with it then? Isn't that something extremely incredible?" Mo Xie smiled as if hinting them of something.
"Ye... Yes..." The five answered, they have something in their mind as soon as Mo Xie finished his words, they are getting something, but they couldn't express it yet.
"Then, how come, cultivators considered bows are weak? If they are fighting a person of the same power, wouldn't a bow be a huge advantage towards them? Also, it didn't need much usage of Spirit Energy." Mo Xie smiled as he looked at the five.
"This..." Yet again, the five is speechless, wouldn't that be the case then? Using long-range cultivation skills require ma.s.sive amounts of Spirit Energy! If they can use a long range weapon as they battle, they would definitely have an advantage.
"Then, I think all of you have the answer for your questions of why I want to use a bow." Mo Xie spoke as he started to walk to the door.
"Continue merging with your Demon Beast cores, It will last for a day at max, I will go out first."
The five nodded as they replied: "Yes, Patriarch."
The five of them resumed their pose as they closed their eyes and returned with the process.
Mo Xie headed to the storage room immediately, sadly, he has not even forged a single bow.
He himself had forgotten about it, because, within the realm that he used to stay, out of a hundred cultivator, only one, or if lucky, two people are using it. But the lack of users doesn't mean that it is weak.
A weapon like a bow is very hard to find, especially something that has a huge power behind it. There was a time in his previous life, he fought with a man that wielded a bow, the power of that bow is so strong that Mo Xie himself almost died a few times, that's just how terrifying a bow can be.
"Now... where can I find a bow that will be useful to me... Should I craft one? But I have no more materials..." Mo Xie suddenly stopped walking as he remembered some things.
He immediately went and stored ten or so weapons as he immediately walks outside.
"Husband, where are you going?" As soon as Mo Xie stepped out, Shang Ting immediately called to him.
Shang Ting just took a break from cultivation and was about to rest, but immediately, she saw Mo Xie, what a coincidence.
"Oh, I`m going to buy some materials to forge myself a weapon." Mo Xie looked at Shang Ting and replied.
"Oh! Daddy, can we come to?" Just at this moment, a wild and cute Aiqing has appeared.
"No, you can't." Mo Xie immediately replied.
"But!"
"No buts, stay with your mother."
"Uwuee..." Aiqing started to have tears in her eyes as her mouth opened and arched upwards, her face is almost ready to cry.
"Its dangerous outside, there are enemies everywhere, stay here." Mo Xie continued, he wouldn't allow anyone under his wings to be hurt while he himself knows of the dangers lingering outside.
Although Aiqing isn't really his daughter, but it is a step closer to what he wants, a family.
"Then, why are you going out alone?! Isn't it better to bring more people with you?" Aiqing reb.u.t.ted.
Shang Ting sighed, no matter what happens, either is it a trap or ambush, she knows better than anyone else, that Mo Xie is very mysterious, he definitely has a way to fight them, or worst, escape.
Mo Xie looked at Aiqing and replied: "No, I have my own means of escape, having to take care of everyone will be a burden to me."
As Mo Xie finished speaking, he patted Aiqing's head and continued: "Don't worry, soon enough, you will be able to play outside."
As he finished speaking, he smiled at Aiqing and Shang Ting: "I will be back after I finish my business."
Shang Ting smiled, she wanted to come too, but being a burden to the one she has feelings for will definitely leave a sour taste in her mouth, she wouldn't be able to do anything other than to grow stronger, and get that wis.h.!.+
"Un, we will wait here." Shang Ting replied as she carried Aiqing.
Aiqing pouted, her puppy eyes technique didn't work, hence, she's a little disappointed.
Mo Xie smiled as he departed.
Mo Xie immediately arrived at the Clan's gate as soon as he exited and closed the gate, a figure appeared in front of him.
"h.e.l.lo, may I have a talk with the Patriarch of this Clan." A voice sounded from him.
Mo Xie looked at the man sizing him up from head to toe.
