Chapter 83 Robbery Leads to Wealth

Su Ye's eyes darted around, and he suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.

He flipped his palm.

A crystal-clear shadow recording stone appeared in his palm.

The shadow recording stone was the size of a palm, completely transparent, with flowing light and shadows vaguely visible inside. This was a special Magical Artifact specifically used to record images and sounds, commonly used in the cultivation world for messaging and teaching. But at this moment, this ordinary shadow recording stone had become the trump card in Su Ye's hand.

"Revered Master, are you really going to rob your disciple?"

Seeing that shadow recording stone, Yun Yuzhen's face instantly changed.

That was the nightmare of her life!

That was her biggest weakness!

Her pupils suddenly constricted, and her breathing stopped for a moment. On that peerlessly beautiful face, the color drained away at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a deathly pale.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Yun Yuzhen's voice trembled slightly as she subconsciously shrank back.

In those light purple eyes, panic appeared for the first time—true panic, not the half-real, half-fake shyness from before, but fear from the bottom of her heart.

Su Ye toyed with the shadow recording stone and said slowly:

"It's nothing much."

"I just suddenly remembered when Revered Master's Cold Poison flared up last time and you were delirious..."

He paused deliberately, looking at Yun Yuzhen with a meaningful gaze.

"It seems you were clinging to your disciple's leg, crying and shouting 'I want it, I want it'..."

"You even put on those cat ears and mimicked a cat's meow..."

"If I accidentally release this recording..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the number one ice beauty of the Taichu Holy Land, to think she's like this in private..."

"I reckon all the male Cultivators in the cultivation world would go crazy, wouldn't they?"

Boom!

Yun Yuzhen felt a roar in her mind, her entire face turning so red it looked like it could drip blood.

That was the most shameful moment of her life!

At that time, the Cold Poison had seeped into her bones, and only the Yang Qi of Su Ye's Supreme Bone could cure it. She had been forced by circumstances, and while delirious during the Cold Poison flare-up, she had indeed done many... many things she couldn't bear to look back on.

She remembered that she indeed seemed to have held onto him tightly, indeed seemed to have said things she shouldn't have, indeed seemed to...

Who would have known that this Rebellious Disciple had actually recorded it secretly!

"Su Ye!!!"

"You dare!"

"If you dare to release it, I'll... I'll castrate you!"

Yun Yuzhen lunged forward with her claws out, trying to snatch the shadow recording stone.

At this moment, Great Power of Tribulation Crossing Realm, Major Achievement of the Taiyin Sacred Body—all were thrown to the back of her mind. She was like an ordinary woman who had been caught red-handed, with only one thought in her head—to snatch that damn stone and destroy it!

But Su Ye was prepared; with a flash of his body, he dodged directly into the center of the hall.

His movements were nimble and his footwork mysterious, each step landing in the gaps of the Formation patterns, perfectly avoiding Yun Yuzhen's lunges. This was the "Lingbo Microsteps" he had learned from the System. Although he had only reached the entry level, it was more than enough to dodge the currently flustered Yun Yuzhen.

"Revered Master, calm down!"

"Impulsiveness is the devil!"

"As long as you cooperate obediently, this thing will never be circulated."

Su Ye shook the shadow recording stone in his hand, smiling like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

"Now, let's talk about the matter of 'distribution'."

"Robbery!"

"It's now Senior Brother Su's robbery time!"

Su Ye's face turned solemn. Stepping one foot onto a nearby jade stool, he pointed at Yun Yuzhen and shouted loudly:

"Hand over your private savings!"

"Also, the Mountain-protecting Formation of Purple Bamboo Peak has fallen into disrepair; take out a hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones for its renovation!"

"Wan'er is growing and needs a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures. Hand over the key to your 'Hundred Herb Garden'!"

"Light Snow needs Enlightenment Tea for her sword practice. Hand over that jar of 'Ancient Enlightenment Tea' you've been treasuring!"

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

Yun Yuzhen trembled all over with rage, her chest heaving violently.

How is this a disciple?

This is clearly a bandit!

And a bandit who betrays his Revered Master and ancestors!

But looking at that damn shadow recording stone...

She endured it!

"Here! Take it all!"

"Go buy a coffin with it!"

Yun Yuzhen indignantly took off a simple storage ring from her finger and hurled it fiercely at Su Ye.

The ring was silver-white all over, inlaid with a Moon-essence Stone the size of a fingernail. The inside of the ring was engraved with dense Formation patterns; it contained her entire fortune accumulated over three hundred years. This throw used all her strength, and the ring whistled through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.

Su Ye reached out to catch it and swept it with his Divine Sense.

Whoa!

Good heavens!

As expected of an old rich lady who's lived for three hundred years!

Top-Grade Spirit Stones were piled up like a mountain, at least five hundred thousand!

These Spirit Stones were stacked neatly, each one crystal clear and containing pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, if converted to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, would be a full fifty million! It was enough for an ordinary Cultivator to Cultivate from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage with plenty to spare!

Various Saint-rank Medicinal Pills and ten-thousand-year Spiritual Plants were even more numerous.

Jade bottles and boxes were stacked neatly, each labeled with the name, age, and effects of the Medicinal Pill or Spiritual Plant. There was the "Nine-Revolution Soul-Returning Pill" that could bring the dead back to life, the "Obstacle-Breaking Pill" that could help Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators break through Bottlenecks, the "Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi" that could extend life by three hundred years, and the "Soul-Nurturing Wood" that could strengthen the Divine Soul...

There were even several rarely used Sovereign Grade Spiritual Artifacts!

An all-green jade fan with a landscape painting on its surface, creating a cool breeze with a gentle flick; a palm-sized bronze mirror with a surface so bright it could reflect a person's deepest secrets; and a three-foot-long jade ruler, warm and smooth as jade, which could measure heaven and earth with a light wave...

"Thank you for the reward, Revered Master!"

Su Ye beamed with joy and quickly put away the ring.

"Now our Purple Bamboo Peak can be considered to have escaped poverty and become rich!"
