Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: The Youth Who Eats Iron Nails

In the sky, a giant white cloud is slowly sailing.

Zhang Bin and the three stooges sit cross-legged on the cloud, greedily admiring the scenery below.

It’s winter now.

In many places, snow is falling, heavy and plentiful, enveloping heaven and earth.

It looks like a dream.

The earth also turns a silvery white.

Qingshan is covered with snow; from above, you can hardly see Qingshan’s green waters.

Only snow like cotton blankets.

"It’s so beautiful, truly captivating."

"We are like immortals, enjoying such a view. It’s fantastic."

"Pretty it may be, but the weather’s gotten too cold; the beauties wear more clothes and can’t show off their figures."

The three stooges shouted excitedly, and in the end, Ma Rufei succeeded in shifting the topic to beauties.

This has become their habit, the last speaker will inevitably link the topic to beauties.

That’s called never straying from the subject.

Of course, they also hope Zhang Bin can take them to pick up girls right away, which is actually reminding Zhang Bin...

"Hopeless stooges."

Zhang Bin shook his head repeatedly, finding it really laughable.

However, he clearly knew that the three stooges weren’t bad people, just a bit lustful.

Bullying or teasing women was beneath them.

But once they saw a beauty, they’d gather courage to chat her up.

And then hope the beauty falls for them, bam bam bam.

If the beauties ignored them, they tried other tricks, like throwing money around.

Taking cash from the Space Ring repeatedly, until the beauty agreed or got angry.

They also had other tricks, like boasting about their cannon or something.

They didn’t understand love.

Nor did they get emotionally involved with women.

They were just three big jerks.

Finally, Zhang Bin and the three stooges landed in an unnoticed small town.

The snow-covered town looked truly beautiful.

"Senior Brother, are there beauties here?"

"Senior Brother, shouldn’t we go to a big city for girls?"

"Let’s just go to Swan City, the capital of White Swan Country, true beauties everywhere."

The three stooges shouted in disappointment.

"Shut up." Zhang Bin said coldly, "We’re not here for girls, but for other matters."

"Aside from girls, what other matters?"

The three stooges were utterly dumbfounded, somewhat disbelieving their ears.

They clearly knew that Zhang Bin had never been to White Swan Country.

This was Zhang Bin’s first time, how could he have business in such a small town?

Zhang Bin did not explain.

He walked into the general store and spoke fluently to the shopkeeper in White Swan language: "Uncle, may I ask, where does Pu Yun live?"

Undoubtedly, Zhang Bin learned the White Swan language through Star Interlanguage School.

"Pu Yun? He lives at..."

The shopkeeper carefully observed Zhang Bin and the three others for a while, deciding they weren’t bad people, then revealed Pu Yun’s address.

"Thanks." Zhang Bin casually gave the shopkeeper a hundred RMB note, turned to leave but suddenly turned back, smiling, "By the way, does Pu Yun still like eating nails?"

"Hahaha... That rascal Pu Yun used to steal my nails to eat. But recently, he stopped and switched to stealing railroad tracks to eat. Nearly got caught by the police."

"Oh dear..."

Zhang Bin was stunned but asked no more, leading the three stooges toward Pu Yun’s home.

"Senior Brother, how do you know there’s someone named Pu Yun here? He eats nails and tracks?"

Ma Rufei asked, deeply curious.

The other two stooges also showed deep confusion and curiosity.

"..."

Zhang Bin walked leisurely, explaining lightly.

Turns out, this odd Pu Yun was told by Galina.

Who is Galina?

Of course, she’s the White Swan beauty Zhang Bin met at the last Hero Auction.

That time, if Noda Sayuri hadn’t suddenly arrived, Galina would have certainly become Zhang Bin’s woman.

However, because Galina got Zhang Bin’s contact info, they kept in touch over the year.

The two occasionally chatted, even video-called.

A few days ago, Zhang Bin told Galina he was visiting White Swan Country...

Galina was thrilled and accidentally shared a funny tidbit.

It was about Pu Yun.

Galina grew up in this small town, naturally aware of Pu Yun’s oddity.

Pu Yun was an orphan, initially struggling to grow up.

However, different from ordinary people, he can live on just eating steel and iron without food.

Thus, he roams about seeking scrap metal or steals neighbors’ iron pots, knives, nails, etc.

All consumed by him.

Ordinary people surely can’t understand.

But upon hearing this, Zhang Bin understood, Pu Yun was likely a natural Metal-Attribute Psychic.

Such people are top cultivation talents, those You Jiuxuan once sought as cauldrons.

If You Jiuxuan hadn’t perished, getting such a cauldron might only take ten years to reach the peak of the Ascendant Realm.

So, Zhang Bin came to see him, intending to recruit Pu Yun into the Taiqing Sect.

In the future, Taiqing Sect would gain an extremely powerful master.

"Wow, a Metal-Attribute Psychic?"

"Oh my, Metal-Attribute Psychics are so powerful?"

"Metal-Attribute Psychics are true geniuses? Isn’t picking up girls super easy then?"

The three stooges shouted in shock, their faces showing envy and jealousy.

They long realized that though they had decent talent, it couldn’t compare to these top-tier geniuses.

Take Yang Xiong, at just 11, he’s already frighteningly strong, stronger than the three of them.

Even teaming up, they still find it hard to defeat Yang Xiong.

Never expected such a genius to appear in this unremarkable small town.

Won’t Taiqing Sect gain another monster?

Moreover, one suppressing them?

"Natural Metal-Attribute Psychics are rare; despite China’s huge population, none have been found." Zhang Bin said seriously, "These superpower users are terrifying; they can manipulate metals, launching immensely fearsome attacks. Even their bodies can metalize, with strong defense abilities. Metal-Attribute Psychics offer both offense and defense. If taught cultivation techniques, they can grow strong quickly." Zhang Bin explained.

Recently, he even searched for metal attribute talents under Daoyi Sect’s name.

His purpose wasn’t for You Jiuxuan to find more cauldrons.

But to find them, hide them, grow them secretly.

Then, other disciples of the Youming Sect wouldn’t find them.

You Jiuxuan would fail to obtain such cauldrons.

But haven’t found any.

Finally, Zhang Bin and the three arrived at Pu Yun’s doorstep, Zhang Bin’s expression suddenly changed dramatically!
