Chapter 85 Still Needs to Reach the Master Level

Su Ye raised an eyebrow.

Ouyang Ye, that old fire ghost, seemed to have a fiery and straightforward temper, but who would have thought he'd do something like this? But on second thought, Divine Weapon Peak handles countless Materials every year; skimming off just a little would be an astronomical amount.

[Taichu Calendar Year 3524, November.]

[Discovered that Transmission Elder Qian Buduo is secretly cultivating a Demonic Technique, consuming the essence and blood of young boys and girls. Secret investigation has been conducted, evidence is conclusive. Once the time is ripe, he can be taken down in one fell swoop.]

Su Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

Consuming the essence and blood of young boys and girls?

That's something only Demonic Path evil cultivators would do!

Taichu Holy Land is the leader of the Righteous Path, yet a demonic cultivator is hidden among its Elders?!

He took a deep breath and continued flipping through.

[Taichu Calendar Year 3525, February.]

[Gu Cangfeng, the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall, has a secret affair with Holy Master Holy Master, and has sneaked into the Holy Master's bedchamber late at night many times. Evidence is on a shadow recording stone, of immeasurable value; not to be claimed for now, kept for later use.]

...

Every page recorded the dirt on some high-level figure in the Taichu Holy Land!

This was a living "Record of Taichu Holy Land Scandals"!

Su Ye flipped through page after page, becoming more and more shocked as he read.

The Peak Revered Master of Pill Cauldron Peak cheated in Alchemy, an Elder of Beast Taming Peak peeped at the Holy Master, the Peak Revered Master of Divine Weapon Peak skimmed Materials, the Transmission Elder cultivated a Demonic Technique, the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall had a secret affair with the Holy Master, an Elder of the Scripture Pavilion embezzled Cultivation Techniques, an Elder of Spirit Beast Peak mistreated Spirit Beasts, the Peak Revered Master of Artifact Refining Peak passed off inferior goods as high quality...

From Peak Revered Masters and Heads down to Deacons and Disciples, almost everyone had their weaknesses held by Cang Song.

"What a talent!"

Su Ye closed the booklet and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"This Cang Song is simply a Genius at gathering intelligence!"

"No wonder he was doing so well in the Law Enforcement Hall; it turns out he held so many people's weaknesses in his hands!"

Lin Waner blinked her big eyes, looking excited:

"Senior Brother, then isn't this thing worth a lot of money?"

"Worth money?"

Su Ye gave a cold laugh, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"This is more than just being worth money."

"This is a blade."

"A blade that can be held against the necks of the entire upper management of the Taichu Holy Land!"

He weighed the small booklet in his hand, a meaningful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

With this thing.

Who would dare to cause trouble for Purple Bamboo Peak in the future?

Just exposing one piece of dirt could ruin the other party's reputation!

"Cang Song, you old dog, you really are a wealth-bringing boy."

Su Ye put the small booklet away, unable to part with it.

Compared to those Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures, this was the true priceless treasure!

"Ding!"

Just then.

In Su Ye's mind, a crisp mechanical sound suddenly rang out.

It was the long-awaited System notification!

[Congratulations Host, you have successfully completed the hidden mission: 'Ransack the Law Enforcement Hall Elder'!]

[Reward obtained: Sovereign Grade Formation blueprint — "Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Grand Array"!]

[Reward obtained: Cultivation Upgrade Card (Small) x3!]

[Reward obtained: Special Item — 'Truth or Dare Candy' x1 bottle!]

Su Ye was ecstatic.

A Sovereign Grade Formation!

The Mountain-protecting Formation of the Taichu Holy Land was only at the Saint Grade Peak.

Once this Sovereign Grade Formation was set up, even if a Saint arrived in person, they would have to kneel and sing of their defeat!

With a thought, the detailed information of the "Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Grand Array" immediately appeared in his mind. This Formation was divided into nine layers; for every layer set up, its power would double. With all nine layers complete, it could harness the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, slaying Saints like slaughtering dogs! However, the Materials required for its setup were also staggering, needing eighty-one Formation Flags, each of which must be at least Heaven Rank Low Grade, and the Formation eye required a Saint Grade Magical Artifact to suppress it...

"System, you're finally reliable for once!"

Su Ye praised inwardly.

Immediately, he looked at his two Junior Sisters who were still excitedly counting money and waved his hand:

"Stop counting!"

"Today is a good day!"

"Come, Senior Brother will take you to do something big!"

Lin Waner was stunned, and a Spirit Stone in her hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the Spirit Stone hitting the ground was crisp and pleasant, but she didn't have the mind to pick it up right now, just staring blankly at Su Ye.

"Go... go again?"

"Senior Brother, didn't we just get back?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with both excitement and trepidation.

Today, first it was the Divine Weapon Peak, then the Law Enforcement Hall, and now they were going... where?

Su Ye's mouth curled into a wicked smile as he looked toward a distant mountain Peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

There, the fragrance of medicine permeated the air, and the Pill Fire was bright.

Through the layers of mist, a majestic mountain Peak was faintly visible. Dozens of Alchemy rooms were built on the summit, with wisps of blue smoke rising—the smoke from Alchemy. Around the Peak, medicinal fields were everywhere, Spiritual Qi was abundant, and countless rare Spirit Medicines were planted.

Pill Cauldron Peak.

One of the wealthiest Peaks in the Taichu Holy Land.

The Peak Revered Master of Pill Cauldron Peak, Peak Master Liu Changqing, was an eighth-rank Alchemist whose Alchemy skills were superb; over seventy percent of the Medicinal Pills in the entire Taichu Holy Land came from him. The wealth of Pill Cauldron Peak was famous throughout the Holy Land—it was said that in Peak Master Liu Changqing's private warehouse, Medicinal Pills were piled like mountains, and Spirit Stones were so numerous they could be used to pave the floor.

"Didn't Cang Song's little notebook mention it just now?"

"The Peak Revered Master of Pill Cauldron Peak, Peak Master Liu Changqing, seems to be very rich."

Su Ye rubbed his chin, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"And..."

He paused, recalling the records in the little notebook.

"I also want to go and ask him if his Fire Cloud Crane's diarrhea is better."

"By the way, I'll borrow a few furnaces of Medicinal Pills to nourish Revered Master's body."

"After all, Revered Master emptied even her private savings for the sake of Purple Bamboo Peak."

His tone carried a bit of teasing, but there was a hint of sincere concern in his eyes.

Although that woman had a sharp tongue, she was truly good to him. Three hundred years of savings, she gave them just like that; although she was threatened by him, if she really didn't want to, with her cultivation, ten Su Yes couldn't threaten her.

Lin Waner and Lin Qianxue exchanged a look.

Then.

In both of their eyes, a raging fire ignited at the same time.

It was the desire for wealth!

It was the yearning to stir up trouble!

Lin Waner's small fists were tightly clenched, her eyes shining, and her whole body trembled slightly with excitement. Although she was an orphan, she had struggled in the cultivation world since childhood and knew the importance of resources. With enough resources, she could raise her Cultivation faster and better protect the people she cared about.

Lin Qianxue silently gripped her sword embryo. She was usually quiet, but at this moment, a flash of eagerness crossed her cool eyes. She wanted to become stronger, to protect her Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and... to repay Revered Master's kindness for raising her. And resources were a shortcut to becoming stronger.

"Senior Brother, I'll go get the gunny sacks right now!"

Lin Waner turned and ran, her speed astonishingly fast.

"Senior Brother, my sword is already thirsty!"

Lin Qianxue rarely spoke, her voice cold but carrying a hint of Killing Intent.

On Purple Bamboo Peak.

Three figures were once again ready to set out.

This time.

Their target was—the wealthiest Pill Cauldron Peak in the entire Holy Land!

As the sun set in the west, it stretched the shadows of the three very long.

Su Ye stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, his eyes flashing with a wise and dangerous light.

Lin Waner carried a huge gunny sack on her back, which was taller than she was; carrying it on her shoulder made her look quite comical. But her expression was exceptionally serious, as if it weren't a sack, but her battle flag.

Lin Qianxue held her sword embryo, standing beside Su Ye without a word. But her gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if she could already see the coming battle.

In the distance, the outline of Pill Cauldron Peak gradually became clear.

The fragrance of medicine grew stronger, and the Pill Fire grew brighter.

A new "robbery" was about to begin.

And deep within the Cold Jade Palace.

Yun Yuzhen, who was currently sulking, suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo!"

She rubbed her nose, looking at her empty finger (her storage ring had been snatched), and suddenly felt a bit pained.

"That was three hundred years of dowry I saved up..."

Her voice was faint, carrying a hint of grievance, a hint of unwillingness, and... some indefinable emotion.

That ring was something she had accumulated bit by bit since the Foundation Establishment Stage. For three hundred years, she had lived frugally, not even willing to buy a decent piece of jewelry, thinking that one day...

Thinking of this, her face turned slightly red.

One day what?

She couldn't say for sure herself.

"Su Ye, you bastard!"

"If you dare not take responsibility for me, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"

Her voice echoed in the hall.

Carrying a hint of resentment, but even more... an indefinable sweetness.

She remembered the kiss he gave her just now, and her cheek seemed to still have that warm touch. She remembered his focus when massaging her feet, his smirk when threatening her, and the sincerity in his eyes when he said "to nourish Revered Master's body"...

"This Rebellious Disciple..."

She murmured to herself, but a smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her mouth.

Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the evening clouds were like fire.

On Purple Bamboo Peak, the three figures were walking further and further away.

A new story was about to begin.
