344: highway robbery
Little Fatty Bai had an awkward smile on his face.
After a long lecture, Little Fatty Bai finally decided that the next time he went to the Scripture Pavilion for a barbecue, he would grill a bit more for his Senior Sister. Only then did he obtain her forgiveness.
Liang Yun stood dazed to the side, feeling a bit at a loss for a moment. Were the people in the Sect all like this?
Su Yao gave Little Fatty Bai a hard kick, then took Liang Yun to visit the Sect's Alchemy Rooms.
Just getting close, one could feel waves of burning heat.
A heatwave immediately rushed toward them.
Even though the doors to these Alchemy Rooms were tightly locked, the heat radiating from within was still enough to make one click their tongue in wonder.
Those refining pills inside were basically Powerhouses above the Immortal level, and their Realms were very high.
The pill refining locations for ordinary Disciples were not here.
"Junior Sister, take a good look. These are the Sect's Alchemy Rooms."
Liang Yun's eyes widened, looking very excited. She had long wanted to learn the Dao of Alchemy, but she'd never had the chance, and she didn't seem to have the talent for it, being a bit slow-witted.
Seeing her like this, Su Yao immediately smiled.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. Later, Senior Sister will take you to eat something good."
Liang Yun suddenly had a bad feeling. Senior Sister wasn't going to tear down the Pill Refining Room later to grill meat for her, was she?
"No need, no need, Senior Sister. There's no need for grilled meat. I'm already very full and can't eat anymore. Thank you, Senior Sister."
Liang Yun was actually lying because she could still eat quite a lot. She just didn't dare let her Senior Sister grill meat for her again. She didn't even know how to explain the incident with her Senior Brother to their Revered Master. If she were punished then, she might get the whip.
Liang Yun had an awkward smile on her face.
Hearing this, Su Yao frowned.
"What are you talking about? Who said anything about eating grilled meat? Just watch Senior Sister's operation later."
Su Yao led her directly to the entrance of a Pill Refining Room.
There were rows of neat rooms. Many Powerhouses, after paying their fees, entered to use the Sect's Pill Furnaces to refine a batch of Medicinal Pills for themselves.
Looking at the people coming and going, Liang Yun felt a bit uneasy. She crossed her index fingers and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
Su Yao's gaze constantly swept over the doors of all the rooms. Soon, she spotted someone opening a door and walking toward them.
Su Yao immediately hid behind the door at the entrance, a sly smile appearing on her face.
Liang Yun was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening.
Su Yao pulled her to the side of the door. Liang Yun was at a loss. The two of them hid behind the door, watching the person approach bit by bit. After the person paid their rental fee and was about to leave, Su Yao jumped out in front of him.
"Robbery!"
When those two words appeared, a large question mark popped up over Liang Yun's head, and her expression became startled and uncertain.
She even doubted if she had misheard something.
Her Senior Sister was actually waiting at the Sect's entrance for someone to come out so she could rob them openly?
This was just too surreal!
An awkward smile immediately appeared on the face of that Loose Immortal Powerhouse.
The look he gave Su Yao was full of awe and fear; clearly, he had suffered at the hands of this female Devil Head before.
"Senior Sister Su Yao, I don't have many Medicinal Pills here, just a furnace of Qi Gathering that I just refined..."
Without a word, Su Yao snatched his Storage Pouch. After rummaging through it for a while, she took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and threw the Storage Pouch back.
The man's face turned extremely ugly, looking very aggrieved.
"Senior Sister..."
Su Yao waved her hand upon hearing him.
"Enough, enough. When have I ever let you guys lose out? If it weren't for the fact that I don't know Alchemy myself, I would've refined them myself. Take these Materials. I'll pay you, so go back and refine another furnace."
Su Yao threw out some Herbs. Upon catching them, the man's face lit up with joy.
The Medicinal Pills she took weren't of particularly high value, but for him, it would have taken two or three months to save up for them.
The few Herbs Su Yao had casually thrown to him completely made up for his loss.
If he just sold these Herbs, he could get more than ten times the value of his original Medicinal Pills.
He no longer had any resentment in his heart and even thanked her repeatedly.
As he walked away, he gave himself two hard slaps on the face.
"Damn it, if I had known, I would have prepared more Medicinal Pills. If Senior Sister had taken an interest in them, wouldn't I have struck it rich!"
Liang Yun heard the man's words clearly as he left and stared dumbfoundedly at his departing back.
Then, her Senior Sister stuffed a handful of Medicinal Pills into her mouth.
After a whole handful of immortal spirit qi entered her body, Liang Yun's face immediately turned flushed. All the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to converge toward her location.
This situation only lasted for a moment because the Meridians in her body were instantly saturated, and then her Realm broke through to the Fifth-level Loose Immortal!
Liang Yun was in disbelief. After confirming it repeatedly, she realized she had truly made a Breakthrough. Just moments ago, she was at the Nirvana stage, and now she had directly broken through to the Immortal Realm.
Just as Liang Yun was about to rejoice, Su Yao pulled her behind the door again.
The two of them crouched behind the door and observed again. A Golden Immortal Powerhouse walked out holding Medicinal Pills, looking high-spirited. He must have also finished refining, and the quantity of pills produced was quite high.
Su Yao often committed robberies on this path, which caused some people to want to take a detour whenever they saw her.
That was why she hid behind the door, watching those people sneakily. She wouldn't jump out to rob them until they were right in front of her.
Just as Su Yao was about to make her move, the other party noticed her immediately. His face turned extremely ugly, and he wanted to turn back.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing?"
Su Yao chuckled and then directly blocked the man's path.
"Junior Sister, you must be joking. I just realized I haven't finished refining some of my Medicinal Pills. I'm planning to go back and refine them some more. Besides, those pills just now didn't seem usable."
The man gave an awkward smile, clearly having been victimized quite a bit as well.
"Hand it over!"
Su Yao used the Long Whip in her hand to snatch the Storage Pouch hanging from the man's waist. After rummaging through it, she took out another bottle of Medicinal Pills and then threw the Storage Pouch back.
Immediately, a look of disbelief appeared on the Powerhouse's face. Then, Su Yao threw out a few Herbs and left with her Junior Sister.
Liang Yun took the Medicinal Pills with a bewildered look.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat these pills. I don't know if your Meridians can take it. Keep them for now and eat them after some time to raise your Realm."
"Don't worry. Whenever you're short on Medicinal Pills, just tell Senior Sister. I'll cover all your Cultivation pills from now on!"
Liang Yun nodded dully. Now, she didn't seem particularly shocked anymore. Her Senior Brother and Senior Sister were simply Heaven-Defying.
