346: have a bee in one's bonnet
"Junior Sister, you don't even have a single Magic Treasure on you. It really breaks my heart to see that. Revered Master usually waits until you've made a certain contribution to the Sect before bestowing Magic Treasures, so for now, we can only 'steal' some from here."
Zhang Hai spoke while rummaging through the Treasury. He soon discovered a set of Magic Treasures.
"Junior Sister, try this on and see if it fits. This set of Magic Treasures is decent; although it's only Heaven Rank, it's barely enough for now."
Zhang Hai himself was already clad in Immortal Rank Magic Treasures; essentially all Personal Disciples were.
Only this newly joined Junior Sister didn't have any yet.
Their previous sets weren't suitable for her, but after searching for a long time, he finally managed to find one that was somewhat compatible.
"This! This is far too precious!"
Liang Yun repeatedly waved her hands and shook her head, her body instinctively backing away.
One had to understand that in her country, there was no Legacy at all, and naturally, no Legacy for Alchemy or Artifact Refining.
A single Magic Treasure was incredibly precious to them.
Her father, the Emperor, possessed the only Magic Treasure in the entire country.
It was said to be an Earth-Grade Magic Treasure obtained with great difficulty.
When that Magic Treasure first revealed its power, one could see a hundred-zhang golden light piercing through the clouds.
Currently, every piece of the Magic Treasure set in Zhang Hai's hands was radiantly brilliant, far surpassing an Earth Rank Magic Treasure.
Liang Yun had no idea how the grades of Magic Treasures were defined; she only knew this treasure must be exceptionally valuable. Everything today simply exceeded the scope of her understanding.
It was like a savage still using wooden clubs and stone axes seeing high technology flying through the sky.
This kind of impact was far too powerful!
"Junior Sister, take it. It's no big deal."
A giant question mark appeared over Zhang Hai's head.
"Do you not know that your Token actually allows you to enter and leave these places at will? You can take any of these things as you please."
Liang Yun was stunned on the spot upon hearing this.
"Ah? Senior Brother, if our Tokens allow us to enter and leave at will, why did you have to dig a tunnel?"
Liang Yun was completely bewildered, unable to understand the logic at all.
"You don't understand, little girl."
Wangcai circled the two of them several times. A Fruit fell from somewhere, and it swallowed it directly into its stomach, its aura continuously rising.
"Things that are stolen taste much better than those just taken!"
Wangcai licked its lips and then began to sneakily continue its theft.
Zhang Hai also gave a chuckle, grabbing a large handful of Talisman Papers and stuffing them into his pocket.
"Exactly. Although these Talisman Papers aren't very useful to me, they can be used to make a trap. I'll go hunting later!"
The Talisman Papers Zhang Hai stuffed into his pocket were all at the Immortal Rank or above.
Tearing any one of them could erupt with the full-strength strike of a powerful Earth Immortal.
With his current Cultivation, these things naturally had no use, but holding them in his hand felt very satisfying.
Sometimes when they went out hunting, they would dig a few traps and stick these Talisman Papers inside. Once prey triggered them, they would be instantly strangled to death.
Although they often ended up with a lot of minced meat, they never grew tired of it.
After much persuasion, Liang Yun finally put on the Magic Treasures.
She specifically used her Token to test it out, and it indeed allowed her to pass through the Restriction directly. Only then did she know her Senior Brother hadn't lied to her.
Although she accepted the Magic Treasures, she was still somewhat apprehensive.
"If Revered Master finds out we're doing this, will he get angry?"
Liang Yun scratched her head, looking a bit awkward.
It wasn't that she was afraid; it was just too Heaven-Defying. This was her first time hearing of such a thing.
These treasures could be taken for free. If she just took back a little bit, her entire country would instantly become incredibly powerful.
It was even very possible to directly unify all the surrounding small countries.
"Uh, how should I put it..."
"Imagine Revered Master has ten thousand cows. The things we took are just one of the hairs that naturally fall off those ten thousand cows."
Zhang Hai's words immediately left Liang Yun astonished once again.
Liang Yun left the Treasury uneasily while wearing the Magic Treasures. Then, just as the three of them crawled out of the tunnel, they saw a familiar figure.
Li Haotian had been waiting for a long time. He looked at them and sighed somewhat helplessly.
Seeing this, Liang Yun hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
This action instantly dazed the two people and the dog present.
"Revered Master, this was all my doing alone. I coerced Senior Brother and Senior Sister to take me to do these things. I will return all these Magic Treasures. I only hope Revered Master will punish me alone and not implicate Senior Brother and Senior Sister!"
Liang Yun didn't even dare to breathe at this moment.
Upon hearing this, a slightly awkward expression appeared on Li Haotian's face.
"You..."
Zhang Hai also held his forehead with a bitter smile.
"I told you Revered Master wouldn't care about this. Revered Master must have something to talk to us about."
Seeing that neither of them intended to be nervous or punish her, Liang Yun slowly raised her head and stood up from the ground.
"Revered Master, do you really not mind?"
Li Haotian coughed softly, an awkward smile appearing on his face.
"I originally planned to give these things to you directly. Since you went to the Treasury and rummaged through it yourselves, it saved me some trouble."
"These things are the Cultivation Techniques and resources I promised to give your father, to let him cultivate other Disciples of the Imperial Family."
"When you have time, make a trip back to your hometown and take these things back."
Li Haotian smiled helplessly and then handed the Storage Ring to her.
"Your Senior Brother and Senior Sister have many bad habits—either highway robbery or dismantling things. You're something else, taking your Junior Sister directly to the Treasury to steal."
Zhang Hai was scolded roundly and didn't dare to raise his head.
Wangcai immediately chose to lie down at Li Haotian's feet and roll around, rubbing its belly against him, which saved it from a scolding.
Liang Yun was both amused and annoyed upon hearing this.
It seemed her experience was truly shallow; she hadn't expected Revered Master to be so overbearingly generous.
"Thank you, Revered Master! I will definitely take all of these back and give them to Father!"
When Liang Yun carefully scanned the Storage Ring with her Divine Sense, a shocked look immediately appeared in her eyes.
She suddenly discovered that these resources didn't even amount to one percent of what Revered Master had given her.
It seemed these resources really meant nothing in Revered Master's eyes. If it weren't to fulfill the agreement with her and her father, Revered Master probably wouldn't have specifically asked her to make the trip.
Li Haotian had no idea what the girl was thinking. He only knew his System task told him he should send her back; as long as everything was handled to Perfection, he could obtain the System reward.
