Chapter 84 Give Me Your Master

"Get out!"

Yun Yuzhen pointed at the door, roaring through gritted teeth.

"Take your things and get out of here right now!"

"I don't want to see you!"

Su Ye also didn't Life Qi; instead, he leaned in and gave Yun Yuzhen's huffing cheek a loud kiss.

"Mwah!"

This crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the empty main hall.

"Revered Master is the best."

"To repay Revered Master, I'll cook something myself tonight to nourish your body."

After saying that...

A second before Yun Yuzhen could explode...

Su Ye greased his soles and turned into an afterimage, making a clean getaway.

"Su! Ye!"

Behind him came Yun Yuzhen's roar, a mixture of shame and anger.

Along with the muffled sound of a pillow hitting the door.

The pillow was woven from Thousand-year Ice Silkworm Silk and filled with Tianshan Snow Lotus petals. With this impact, the pillow burst, and snowy white petals fluttered down, looking somewhat poignantly beautiful under the dim blue candlelight.

...

Purple Bamboo Peak, side hall.

Lin Waner and Lin Qianxue were squatting on the ground like two little hamsters, excitedly counting their spoils of war.

The side hall was much smaller than the main hall, but it was still about thirty feet square. The furnishings inside were simple, with only a few prayer mats, a low table, and several bookshelves. At this moment, the floor was covered with various weapons, Ore, and Spirit Medicine, all swiped from Divine Weapon Peak.

"We're rich, we're rich!"

Lin Waner held a large golden axe, grinning from ear to ear.

The axe was half a person's height, with a broad face and a sharp edge, and intricate patterns carved into its back. Although there was a grain-sized nick on the blade, it was overall well-preserved and made of superior material.

"Even though this axe has a small nick, the material is Black Iron Essence Gold!"

"Melting it down to sell as Materials would fetch at least three thousand Spirit Stones!"

Her eyes shone, and her small face flushed with excitement as she wiped the dust off the axe face with her sleeve.

"And this shield, it's also an Earth Rank High Grade embryo!"

She put down the axe and picked up a half-person-high shield. The shield was hexagonal and pitch black, with a ferocious beast's head carved on the front. Although there were a few scratches on the surface, it was overall intact, and the material was also extraordinary.

Lin Qianxue held the sword embryo, wiping it with fond affection.

Though she didn't speak, the love in her eyes was beyond words.

The sword embryo was entirely silver-white with faint golden patterns. Holding it gave her a feeling of being connected by Bloodline. She gently ran her fingers over the blade, feeling that sharp Sword Intent, and a faint smile unconsciously tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Ahem."

A light cough came.

The two girls looked up to see Su Ye walking in with a beaming face, tossing a black Storage Pouch in his hand.

"Senior Brother!"

Lin Waner's eyes lit up, and she pounced directly toward him.

She pounced extremely fast, like a frolicking little rabbit, diving into Su Ye's arms and tightly hugging his waist.

"How was it? Did Revered Master hit you?"

"Did she confiscate the things?"

She looked up, her large eyes full of worry.

Su Ye rubbed Lin Waner's little head, looking smug:

"You're joking."

"Who do you think your Senior Brother is?"

"With my silver tongue, I coaxed Revered Master until she was overjoyed."

"Not only did she not confiscate anything, but Revered Master also gave me a large sum of funds, saying it's to support the development of our Purple Bamboo Peak."

Saying that, Su Ye tossed Yun Yuzhen's ring to Lin Waner.

"Take it, this is our startup capital."

"Upgrade the Mountain-protecting Formation to the highest specifications; if anyone dares to barge in, blast them to death!"

"Use the rest to buy some good things for everyone. Don't go around looking like refugees all day."

Lin Waner took the ring and looked inside.

The next second.

A scream loud enough to shatter glass rang out.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Five... five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones?!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the side hall and making the records on the bookshelves rustle.

"Senior Brother, did you sell Revered Master?!"

Lin Waner was so excited she almost fainted.

She had never seen so much money in her life!

Five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

It was enough to buy half of the Taichu Holy Land's outer sect!

Her hands trembled, her legs went weak, and she swayed unsteadily. If Su Ye hadn't supported her, she might have truly collapsed onto the floor.

"Calm down, calm down."

Su Ye waved his hand, acting like he had seen it all.

"This bit of pocket change is just a drop in the bucket."

Then, he turned his gaze to the black Storage Pouch in his hand.

That was Elder Cang Song's Storage Pouch.

It was also the highlight of the day.

"Come, let's see how much good stuff this Third Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall has contributed to us."

"Unboxing time!"

Su Ye pointed his finger, and his powerful Divine Sense directly wiped away the Restriction on the Storage Pouch.

Although the Restriction was exquisite, it was like paper before Su Ye's Divine Sense, collapsing at the first touch. With a soft "pop," a golden light flashed at the mouth of the Storage Pouch, and the Restriction completely dissipated.

Clatter—

A large pile of items poured out, instantly forming a small mountain.

First to fall out was a pile of Spirit Stones—High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade mixed together, numbering in the tens of thousands, sparkling on the floor. Next were various Medicinal Pills; jade bottles and boxes rolled everywhere, some with loose stoppers emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance. Then came Magical Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Talismans, Jade Slips... a dazzling array of everything one could want.

"This is the net worth of a Soul Transformation Stage Elder?"

Lin Waner swallowed hard and pounced on the pile of treasures with shining eyes.

"Let me see! Let me see!"

She was practically lying on the pile of treasures, her hands constantly rummaging. Every time she found something good, she let out an exclamation.

"Wow! This is a 'Soul-Fixing Pearl'! An Earth Rank Peak Grade Magic Treasure! It's specifically for defending against Divine Soul attacks!"

She picked up a pearl the size of a longan. The pearl was pitch black, with faint light flowing inside, emitting an aura that made one's mind feel settled.

"This is the 'Nine-Transformation Spring-Returning Pill'! It can save someone as long as they still have a breath left! There are actually three bottles here!"

She put down the Soul-Fixing Pearl and picked up three identical jade bottles, uncorking one to sniff it, her face full of intoxication.

"And this... what is this?"

From the pile of miscellaneous items, Lin Waner pulled out a small black booklet.

There was no writing on the cover.

But the material was extremely special, made from the skin of a Rank Six Yao Beast, the Human-Faced Spider.

The beast skin felt slightly cool and smooth to the touch, with fine textures faintly visible. The Human-Faced Spider is a Rank Six Yao Beast with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Its skin is incredibly tough, resistant to water and fire, and is usually used as a medium for Advanced Talismans. A booklet made of such material must contain something extraordinary.

Su Ye's heart stirred, and he reached out to take the booklet.

"Let me think..."

"Something carried by an old schemer like him, which is neither a Cultivation Technique nor a Magic Treasure..."

"There's only one possibility."

He flipped to the first page.

What met his eyes was a row of densely packed small characters:

[Taichu Calendar, Year 3521, March.]

[Witnessed Pill Cauldron Peak Revered Master Peak Master Liu Changqing's furnace exploding during Alchemy. To cover up his mistake, he secretly fed the failed pills to his mount, the Fire Cloud Crane, causing the crane to have diarrhea for three days and three nights, nearly collapsing. Used this as leverage to demand ten 'Spirit-Gathering Pills.']

Su Ye: "..."

Lin Waner: "..."

Lin Qianxue: "..."

The three of them looked at each other.

This is a freaking... Blackmail Diary?!

Su Ye couldn't help but continue flipping through.

[Taichu Calendar, Year 3522, May.]

[Discovered Beast Taming Peak Elder Zhao Wuji secretly harboring a crush on the Holy Master (Holy Master) and caught him peeping outside her residence. Blackmailed him to obtain one Rank Six Spirit Beast egg.]

Su Ye's mouth twitched.

That old man Zhao Wuji looked so serious, but who would have thought he was such a romantic? Holy Master was the Holy Master, a powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Peak and the number one person in the Taichu Holy Land. Did that old man really dare to pine for her? But then again, Holy Master was indeed magnificent; though she had lived for thousands of years, she looked only in her thirties and still possessed great charm, so it wasn't surprising Zhao Wuji couldn't control himself.

[Taichu Calendar, Year 3523, July.]

[Ouyang Ye of Divine Weapon Peak cut corners, mixing mundane iron into the Flying Swords refined for Outer Sect Disciples to line his own pockets. Evidence has been preserved for future blackmail.]
