Chapter 51: Sudden Wealth! Kill!
“Fellow Daoist, if I may be so bold, where did all these things come from? This is far too much!” After examining the contents of the storage bags one by one, the Pavilion Master asked you.
“What’s the matter, scared?” You picked up the teacup before you, took a sip, and replied.
“My Immortal Treasure Pavilion has never turned anyone away! But Fellow Daoist, this… even if I sold this branch pavilion of mine, I still couldn’t afford to buy it all!” As the master of a pavilion, this was the first time he had ever felt his own poverty.
“It doesn’t matter. Take as much as you can.” You waved your hand, unconcerned. How could a single branch pavilion possibly swallow the entire wealth of a sect?
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go check how many spirit stones are left in the accounts.” The Pavilion Master rose and cupped his hands to you.
Watching the Pavilion Master leave, Bai Ruoxi beside you said, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll find someone and secretly pocket all your wealth for himself?”
“If that really happened, it would be wonderful!” you said expectantly. Then you could openly and righteously plunder the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Bai Ruoxi thought for a moment, then said, “If you want the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill, you could come to my Bai family to have it refined. It would definitely be cheaper than this Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
You glanced at Bai Ruoxi and thought, I’ve already beaten you into this state. Going to your home would be walking right into the net.
Truly, big chest, no brains!
“You! You rogue!” Bai Ruoxi crossed her arms over her chest and shouted at you with a flushed face.
You ignored Bai Ruoxi and instead proposed another condition. “You help me obtain the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill, and once I form my Nascent Soul, I’ll let you go. How about that?”
Her face completely red, Bai Ruoxi agreed without hesitation. “Fine!” Bai Ruoxi knew this was the only way she could escape your clutches.
A moment later, the Pavilion Master returned, a storage bag in his hand.
“Fellow Daoist, my Immortal Treasure Pavilion only has this many spirit stones right now. You see…” The Pavilion Master handed you the storage bag.
After taking it, you extended your divine sense and counted. A full five hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!
You looked at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s Master in astonishment. Could a tiny branch pavilion really be this rich?
In that instant, a thought rose in your mind. If you ran out of cultivation resources later, you could come to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to “borrow” some.
“Also, this is my Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s Gold Member Card. With this card, you can get a five percent discount on purchases at my Immortal Treasure Pavilion!” The Pavilion Master took out a small golden card and introduced it.
“A pleasure doing business.” You accepted the Gold Member Card and handed over another storage bag filled with Profound-Rank Artifacts.
“A pleasure doing business. If you have any needs in the future, just come find me!” The Pavilion Master personally escorted you out of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, watching you leave.
“Hurry up and go. Be careful of being robbed.” Bai Ruoxi, following behind you, whispered in your ear.
You smiled and shook your head. Given your current cultivation, as long as a Spirit Transformation cultivator did not come in person, you were an invincible existence.
Moreover, you did not believe the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s Master would be so foolish.
Three days later, you arrived at another Immortal Treasure Pavilion branch and continued to sell off the artifacts in your hands.
A week later, after moving through several Immortal Treasure Pavilion branches, you finally sold off all the useless techniques and artifacts in your possession.
Because of this, you now possessed five million mid-grade spirit stones!
Sitting on such wealth naturally drew the attention of interested parties, but they only followed you from afar, not daring to make a move.
“You’ve sold things too many times in such a short period. You’ve drawn the attention of so many cultivators. This journey likely won’t be peaceful.” Bai Ruoxi, following you, said with a cold sneer.
“Before I die, I’ll definitely drag you down with me!” you said viciously.
Bai Ruoxi shrank her head in fright and spoke up. “If you release my seal, I will naturally help you escape.”
You glanced at Bai Ruoxi and smiled disdainfully, then grabbed her by the back of the collar and headed toward Central State.
“Everyone, let’s go! Don’t let him get away!”
“Over a million mid-grade spirit stones! Absolutely cannot let him go!”
“With so many of us, can’t we beat one little Golden Core?”
A crowd of Golden Core cultivators followed you, and among them were not a few secretly fanning the flames, wanting to make a move on you.
Carrying the sealed Bai Ruoxi, your speed was naturally much slower. Soon, the many Golden Core cultivators caught up and surrounded you.
You sized up the Golden Core cultivators around you and said coldly, “Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?”
“If you know what’s good for you, hand over the spirit stones and we’ll spare your life!”
“That’s right, we only rob wealth, not lives!”
“The woman beside you stays too!”
You sized up the few who had spoken. They were all ninth-layer Golden Core cultivators, cultivation equal to your own.
“Hear that? They want to keep you!” You looked at Bai Ruoxi beside you and whispered in her ear.
“Q-quickly, release my cultivation seal. Only if we act together do we have a chance to live!” Feeling the highly aggressive gazes around her, Bai Ruoxi, without any cultivation to protect her, was severely lacking in any sense of security.
Seeing you unmoved, Bai Ruoxi grew anxious, afraid you would abandon her. She grabbed your arm and pleaded through tears, “I really can’t die here. Don’t you still need me to help you get the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill? Please, hurry and release my seal!”
Seeing Bai Ruoxi about to kneel and beg you, you stopped teasing her and took out a formation plate.
“Within three breaths, those who do not flee, die!”
“Ha, you’re just a Golden Core cultivator, and you’re threatening us?”
“Do you really think we’re scared that easily?”
“Fellow Daoists, let’s all attack together! Whoever grabs it, keeps it!”
Most of the cultivators paid no mind and chose to attack you. Only a small portion with low cultivation chose to retreat, leaving this den of trouble.
Given that, you no longer held back. The fourth-tier Five Elements Phantom Spirit Formation activated, instantly enveloping the entire sky.
The cultivators who had just been clamoring to attack you froze on the spot, trapped in illusions.
“W-what’s going on? What did you do?” Seeing this, Bai Ruoxi immediately stopped crying and asked you curiously.
“Nothing, just a little trick.” Unwilling to explain further, you took out the Earth-Rank Mid-Grade Artifact, the Divine Archer Bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and slew every cultivator present one by one!
After all the Golden Core cultivators trapped in the illusion had died, you did not put away the Divine Archer Bow.
You merely turned your head toward the empty space beside you and said, “Fellow Daoist, have you seen enough of the show? Show yourself!”
A figure slowly emerged from the void.
